Chapter 193 Return! !



Chapter 193 Return! !
On July 7, when the time was getting closer to the August thaw, Foyle finally talked about the contract with Bruce again!

In the office, Bruce looked solemnly at the helpless Foyle, looked at Wilkens beside him, and after the other side shrugged helplessly, he said regretfully: "Adonal, do you really decide Is it gone?"

"Yes, boss, although this is a difficult decision!" Foyle's face flashed with a struggle, but finally he spit out these words weakly!

Bruce has looked haggard since Foyle entered Bruce's office.

When Bruce was looking forward to having a good talk with Foyle, Bruce couldn't help being stunned on the seat when he heard what the other party said next!

It turned out that after a period of consideration and evaluation of other teams, Foyle was anxious about whether he would be traded by Bruce for some reason.

As the free agent market is about to open, Foyle finally made the final decision with the encouragement of his family!

"Boss, I don't want to embarrass you and the team, so I chose to sign first and then trade as the final return to the team, so please understand my decision!" Foyle murmured Said, at this moment he seemed to be hollowed out and sat on the seat slumped!
The Warriors are an exciting and comfortable team, but Bruce's confession is not everyone can see it.

Just like Foyle, he has a stable heart. He doesn't want to change teams frequently, and he is very envious of those seniors who always stay on one team.

But the helplessness of reality made him make this difficult decision, and in order not to cause the Warriors to suffer losses, he proposed this idea to Bruce at this time!
"Sorry, Adonal, maybe my words hurt you!" Bruce nodded sincerely and apologized to Foyle, then took a deep breath, and continued: "Thank you very much for your decision , I will definitely help you find a strong team!"

Hearing Bruce's words, Foyle suddenly showed a relieved smile on his face, then stood up, solemnly bowed to Bruce and Wilkens, and slowly walked towards the doorway with inexplicable relief. Location!
Bruce looked regretfully at Foyle, who had gradually recovered some of his former vigor, and silently sent his blessings to him!
On July 7, when the bell rang at 31 o'clock in the morning, all the media and fans watched the development of the league with wide-eyed eyes!
The next day, information about a small signing was quickly circulated in the major media and newspapers. When the Pacers made a difficult decision, all the local fans in Oakland were excited!
"After the confirmation of this newspaper, the Pacers have regrettably bought out Chris Mullin's contract. This veteran has suddenly entered the sight of all teams, and the Warriors are the most concerned!"

Bruce walked back and forth in the office excitedly, glanced back at the newspaper that was still on his desk, and murmured excitedly: "Will Mullin return to the Warriors? Is he still full of disappointment here? He Would you mind??"

Questions came out of Bruce's mouth one by one, and he could feel the intensity of his anxiety from these questions!

Since Cohan and Gary Saint-Jean traded Mullin to the Pacers, although Mullin didn't complain publicly, he felt a pity for the veteran from the words of some of his very close friends!

Thinking that he might get a soft nail, Bruce, who was walking back and forth, couldn't help standing there!
"Jingle Bell!!"

Bruce was woken up suddenly by a rapid phone ring, and then he walked to the desk!

The moment Bruce picked up the phone, Bruce took a few deep breaths, and then said slowly, "Hello, this is Bruce Yang!"

Hearing Bruce's voice, John Starks couldn't help showing joy on his face, he couldn't help raising his volume, and said, "Boss, don't you think it's a shame to keep ignoring a guy who never forgets the team?" Is there something sad??"

Hearing the familiar voice in the handset, Bruce suddenly shouted in surprise: "Oh, God, damn John, why are you calling me now? I've been waiting for this call for as long as a century!!"

"Haha, boss, you are still such an interesting guy!" Starks said with a big laugh, and then a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he said firmly: "The annual salary is not important, when can I come back!!! "

"Return!!" Bruce's eyes suddenly flashed, thinking of the phrase "wait for me back", he couldn't help but said excitedly: "Come back, I'll wait for you, today? Oh no, how about tomorrow?? Tomorrow, buddy, tomorrow I want to see your figure here!!"

"Aha, obey, boss!!" Starks could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes, and responded loudly!

For a moment, there seemed to be some aura called "brotherhood" slowly emerging between the two of them, and the two of them silently felt this moving atmosphere.

Wilkens looked at Bruce with a trace of tears hanging by his desk in astonishment, and walked over suspiciously!
"Son, what's wrong with you??" Seeing that Bruce didn't notice him, Wilkens asked worriedly.

"Oh, haha, I'm chatting with an old friend of ours!" Bruce hurriedly wiped the wetness from his face when he heard the voice, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he hurriedly said to the microphone: " Hey man, Lenny's here, do you want to talk to him?"

Having heard the voice from the microphone, Starks wiped the tears off his face in a funny way: "No, boss, why don't you give Lenny a surprise? I think he will laugh happily! "

"Okay, buddy, how about we meet tomorrow?" Bruce said expectantly, and when he got the affirmation from the other party, he hung up the phone with inexplicable excitement!

"Little guy, haven't you been stimulated by something?" Wilkens couldn't help feeling more and more worried when he saw Bruce who was crying when he was happy!

Seeing the worried look on Wilkens' face, Bruce touched his nose in embarrassment when he thought of his appearance just now, and then hurriedly interrupted: "Lanny, does Chris intend to return??"

"Little guy, you are simply amazing!" Thinking of the conversation with Mullin, Wilkens couldn't help but look at Bruce curiously!
Since he and Mullin met, the conversation between the two has been very casual. When Wilkens asked him if he intends to return to the Warriors, Mullin responded in the affirmative at that time.

Seeing the invitation to come back that the other party agreed to without any fuss, Wilkens asked him the reason for his decision out of curiosity!

"Chris, may I ask why you made your decision so quickly?"

Mullin looked at Wilkens' puzzled expression, as if he had thought of something that made him very happy, and pretended to be mysterious and said, "Why don't you ask Bruce?"

"Ask me??" Bruce looked at the extremely sure Wilkens with some astonishment, and he couldn't help but fall into the memory!
"Hi Bruce!"

"Uh... Hi Chris!"

"You did a great job with the Warriors!"

"Hehe, I just did my duty!"

"Young man, I am very optimistic about you, the Warriors will definitely step into glory under your hands!"

Recalling the match against the Pacers at that time, Bruce couldn't help but feel kind.

He still remembers Mullin's clothes and appearance that day, at that time he was as embarrassed as if he saw an idol!
Thinking of the details, Bruce couldn't help laughing out loud!

Seeing Bruce's appearance, although Wilkens has been greatly interested by his appearance and Mullin's words, as an old man, he still waits patiently for Bruce's final answer!
"Do you still remember our game in Indiana last season?" Bruce looked at Wilkens' pretended calm, and felt amused.

"Of course, didn't we almost win that day?" Wilkens replied puzzled.

"Chris said something to me in the warm-up before the game!"

Immediately, Bruce told Wilkens all about the meeting between the two that day!

After listening to Bruce's words, Wilkens thought of the key point and couldn't help giving him a thumbs up!

At that time, Mullin was already hinting at Bruce, judging from his appreciation of the Warriors and Bruce, not only did he not have some original resentment, Mullin also said the last sentence, "The Warriors will enter glory in your hands! ", this alone made Wilkens understand the meaning of Mullin's words.

"Son, I have to say that your approach is very correct to a certain extent!" Thinking of Bruce's soft-heartedness, Wilkens couldn't help giving him another thumbs up!
In one day, Bruce got two great surprises one after another. While he was delighted, he became more confident in the free market of this "big riot"!

As the two confirmed their return, Bruce and Wilkens considered the Warriors' current lineup!

If the two return, there will be very big changes in some strategies, for example, Mark Jackson will temporarily put it down!
And as free agents successively signed new clubs or renewed contracts, teams with a lot of salary space in the league suddenly moved!

According to the salary space previously announced by the league, the salary cap is set at 3600 million, while the trigger line for the luxury tax is 4100 million!
According to the league's positioning of the salary cap and luxury tax, 48% of the league's total income is the "salary cap", and 55% of the total income is the boundary of the luxury tax.

And this season, due to the emergence of a large number of free agents, this has led to a large number of salary spaces in the league that can sign at least one maximum-salary player!

The Warriors are not on this list for the time being, because of the contract issues of Wallace and the others, the salaries of these players now take up a lot of space!
Wallace will get an average annual salary of 500 million US dollars next season, Billups will also get a corresponding salary, plus the rookie contracts of Dampier, Carter, and Nowitzki, only the salaries of these players It is about to reach the trigger line of the NBA luxury tax, which also makes the Warriors' operating space a temporary problem!

 The first!
