Chaudumas and Pistons' general manager and head coach Doug Collins are willing to come out to meet Lin Han and his group.

In fact, the meaning of these two people is already very obvious.

At least, the piston will not create obstacles for Choudumas' departure.

After the Pistons left the team's legendary head coach Chuck Daly, the team entered the reconstruction phase.

The Bad Boy Legion of the Bad Boys was either traded or retired. The only one who stayed was Chaudhumas, the youngest in the Bad Boys Legion.

Why didn’t Choudumas get traded like Rodman?

Of course, Rodman is too easy to cause trouble. If such a player is placed next to the team's future boss, it will be a time bomb.

Rodman is not a player willing to be ordinary and rebuild.

When he came to Detroit, Lin Han asked Rodman why he was traded.

Rodman's answer was that because Chuck Daly's departure, the piston was no longer the same piston.

Rodman, who plays the playoffs every year since entering the league, actually had no playoffs to play in the 1992-93 season.

That year, the Pistons ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference with 40 wins and 42 losses, and did not enter the playoffs.

Rodman told Lin Han that he was so depressed that he wanted to commit suicide!

He is a bloody person, and he does not allow his piston to lose bloodyness.

But Chuck Daly's departure ended the Pistons' bloody basketball, and the team was ready to change the culture.

Piston's reputation over the years has been so bad that even the management of Piston itself can't stand it.

So, the Pistons chose Alan Houston and Grant Hill. These two people never played basketball like the Pistons before.

Chaudhumas, his role in staying with the Pistons is to assist the future team in rebuilding the core.

But after Alan Houston grew up, it was time for Choudumas's role to be changed.

Last season, Choudhumas was used more as a defender, but in fact he was already giving way to Alan Houston's starting position in disguise.

And next season, the more mature Alan Houston will completely occupy the team's starting shooting guard position.

The team's new player Grant Hill will have more control over the ball.

By then, Choudumas's character will become very embarrassing.

Moreover, Alan Houston is in the contract year next season. Chaudhumas has received a low salary for so many years, and the Pistons want to compensate him.

But after compensating him, there will be some problems with Alan Houston's contract renewal next season.

This is also the reason why the Pistons are willing to give Chaudhmas a green light to leave. Chaudhmas himself knows that it is indeed time for him to leave, but his loyalty and affection for the team made him unable to make up his mind to leave.

As long as Lin Han and the Lakers can convince him, he will leave the Pistons.

"Jerry, I won't lie to you. Joe D is the leader of the Pistons. His position on the team is a bit awkward, but we are ready to provide him with a four-year contract of 14 million, 7 million in the first year, 3 million in the second year, and 1 million in the fourth year. Joe D has also initially agreed to this contract, so Joe D's contract will definitely not become an obstacle to the Pistons' future."

"Doug doesn't need to say that I know that Qiao D is a great leader. The Pistons will give him the greatest respect. The Lakers and I will also give him the greatest respect. I have never thought of taking advantage of Qiao D's robbery. Without Doug and the Pistons coming here to endorse Jo D, we will give him the highest respect directly. This is a signing contract that I drafted for Qiao D when I came to the Lakers. You can take a look."

With Choudhumas' contribution to the Pistons, even if he risked losing Alan Houston next year, the Pistons would not treat Choudhumas badly.

The contract Doug Collins said to the Pistons for Chaudhumas was already very obvious, with 7 million in the first year, which is compensation.

With Chaudhumas at the age of 32, although he is not too old, he is also a veteran. It is difficult for him to get such a contract when he goes to other teams.

So, Doug Collins came here to endorse Choudumas.

Tell Jerry West and the Lakers not to bully our legend. No matter how difficult the Pistons are, they will not let Choudumas sell himself at a low price.

I have to say that the relationship between Pistons and the Bad Boys is really deep.

Otherwise, Rodman would not have thought of committing suicide for the Pistons.

Thinking of this, Lin Han looked at Choudumas and Doug Collins who had taken the documents from Jerry West's hand with some curiosity.

Lin Han didn't know that Jerry West prepared a contract in advance for Chaudhmas.

He always thought that it was the best thing for the player to show his sincerity after he agreed.

Now it seems that Jerry West is still more sophisticated than him.

It seems that Jerry West has guessed this scene long ago.

Doug Collins was slightly surprised to see the number on the contract.

"Jerry and the Lakers are indeed very sincere. 20 million in 4 years, this is a satisfactory contract."

Doug Collins was satisfied when he saw the contract prepared by Jerry West.

But the expression on the face of Choudumas beside him was always very calm.

After a look at the contract, the legendary Pistons guard stared at Lin Han and Rodman again without any change in his face.

In fact, after both sides sat down here, Choudumas's eyes never left Rodman and Lin Han.

He was really curious that Rodman was actually subdued by Lin Han.

Even when Rodman was with the Pistons, he was not as honest as he is now, right?

Now Choudumas, Rodman and Lin Han are staring at each other curiously.

As the general managers of the two teams, Jerry West and Doug Collins ignored Lin Han and the others.

"Jerry, since I have seen your sincerity, I'm going to tell you, we are really troublesome about Joe D now. We don't want Joe D to leave, and Joe D himself doesn't want to leave, but for the Pistons now, Joe D's departure is another good thing. Now, Joe D is still very hesitant. He still has no reason to have to leave the Pistons. Money matters cannot shake his departure. As for Joe D, the Pistons' 14 million in four years and the Lakers' 20 million in four years are no different for him."

"I know, Joe D needs money, but it's not that the more money the better. He's different from other players."

After Jerry West smiled and said, Doug Collins nodded in understanding.

Chaudhumas is not Rodman. He doesn’t have that many strange consumptions. After enough money, more or less is a number.

"Joe, I respect your feelings for the Pistons very much, so I have never thought of using money to convince you to leave because it is an insult to you."

Chaudhumas calmly withdrew his gaze from Lin Han and Rodman and looked at Jerry West.

"Joe, don't you think your career can go a step further?"

“My career?”

Chaudhumas looked at Jerry West in confusion.

Even Rodman and Lin Han were a little puzzled.

Chaudhumas's career is perfect, right?

Champion, All-Star, Best Team, Best Defensive Team, What kind of pursuit can he have in his career?

Regular season mvp?

Even if he leaves the Pistons and goes to the Lakers, he will never be able to pursue this?

With Jerry West's current reputation in the league, no matter how outrageous or irrelevant he said, no one would question him, so everyone is just puzzled now.

"Joe D, he will definitely be the NBA Hall of Fame player in the future. Not only you, Dennis, you will be the NBA Hall of Fame player in the future, but soon, the NBA Hall of Fame player will no longer be the highest honor of NBA players' career."

Hall of Fame players are no longer the highest honor for NBA players’ careers?

Everyone who was still puzzled had already turned into surprise.

"I can tell you clearly now that the league is preparing to announce a news after the start of the new season. At the 1997 All-Star Game, the league will announce a list of the top 50 superstars in the 50th year of the NBA on its 50th anniversary. I will be the person in charge of this list. In the new season, I will serve as the vice president of the NBA and be responsible for formulating this list."

On the 50th anniversary of NBA's establishment, the league will announce a list of top 50 superstars?!

After Jerry West finished speaking, both Lin Han, Choudhumas, and even Rodman and Doug Collins' eyes lit up.

Rodman is indeed qualified to be a candidate, with Rodman being a three-time champion and two-time best defensive player.

As for Doug Collins, his career was quite successful, but compared to Rodman and others, he seemed to know that this aspect was indeed impossible, so soon Doug Collins' face became depressed.

"Joe D, the deadline for the selection was before the 1997 All-Star. Your current honor and reputation in the league are not enough to get you into the ranks of these fifty superstars. At that time, the only one who was qualified to be on the list was Isaiah Thomas. You are not even as good as Dennis. Dennis has won his third championship, and you only have two! If you stay with the Pistons, you will have only two championships in your career before 1997!"

"It's not just the championship, Joe D. Since 1993, you have not received any honors in the NBA for two consecutive years. If you want to be one of these fifty superstars, with me, Lin, Jordan, Isaiah Thomas, Larry Bird, Magic, Chamberlain, Russell, and Jabbar, you need honors, personal honors, team honors, championships, you need all!"

I have to say that Jerry West is really an excellent lobbyist who can't be more outstanding. He seems to have insight into everyone's hearts.

Even Chaudhumas, who had always been extremely calm, was already a little excited by what he said.

The expression on Choudumas's face was no longer indifferent. If it weren't for Choudumas's too dark, there might have been a blush of excitement and excitement on his face!

If we are talking about a Hall of Fame standards, Chaudhumas does not have much pursuit in the NBA.

Money? The Piston won't treat him badly.

Honor? He has also received enough honors for him to enter the Hall of Fame.

But now that I know that the league will actually create a selection of top 50 superstars who are higher than the Hall of Fame.

Even Choudumas couldn't ignore it.

It would be fine if he didn't have a chance. Obviously, he definitely had a chance!

"Joe D, come to the Lakers, and build a dynasty with us, and become one of the greatest superstars in NBA history with your head held high!"

Jerry West's voice seemed to be the devil's voice that seduces the fallen devil.

Even Choudumas, who was so loyal to the Pistons, was already shaken.
