For Deng Fang, the Cavaliers lost the fifth game, and the price of his treatment would be even higher.
Deng Fang didn't know if the Cavaliers could beat the Magic after O'Neal was cured.
But one thing is certain, O'Neal's full recovery will definitely be good for the Cavaliers.
Especially against the Magic, the benefits are not small.
As for facing the Warriors, Deng Fang is not afraid at all.
One more O'Neal might be a benefit!
Curry is not afraid of big centers, especially old and slow big centers like O'Neal.
As for defense, the Warriors have two big centers in DeAndre Jordan and Lopez, so they are not afraid of O'Neal.
Even if one person can't defend him, a flanking attack is no problem.
The Warriors' double-team defense is the best in the league.
O'Neal, who is not afraid of health, is now making money for Deng Fang!
If you give money, it will be cured. Whether you can win or not depends on you.
The general manager of the Cavaliers also knew that it was basically impossible for Deng Fang to let go.
In this case, the only option is to ask the boss.
If the boss disagrees, then there is no need to discuss the matter.
The general manager of the Cavaliers hung up the phone and went to find his boss.
After scolding the general manager for his incompetence and then scolding Deng Fang for his black heart for a long time, the Cavaliers boss finally agreed to Deng Fang's offer.
He has no choice!
James has spoken and wants to cure O'Neal, otherwise he will leave!
For the Cavaliers, James is everything now!
As long as he doesn't leave, the Cavaliers will have box office and the possibility of a championship.
So as long as James wants, he must satisfy it!
This is non-negotiable!
It costs $20 million to treat O'Neal, which is a huge amount.
But the Cavaliers owner has no choice.
You have to spend this money even if you grit your teeth.
If James left without spending this money, he would have good reasons: The Cavaliers treat me badly, the boss is too stingy, he only wants to save money, and there is no championship in his eyes!
And I want to win the championship!
There is no future if you stay here!
If you treat me unkindly, don’t blame me for being unjust!
Therefore, if the Cavaliers boss does not spend this money and the Cavaliers eventually lose this series, then James will most likely leave!
And if the Cavaliers owner spent this money, he would be standing on the moral high ground.
It cost 13 million to treat James, and another 20 million to treat O'Neal. Which boss is more willing to spend money than me?
I'm not doing it for the championship, so why spend this money?
I have spent so much money on you, and if you still leave, are you still a human being?
You know, you, James, are the son of Akron!
Your hometown spent a lot of money on you, but you left!
ungrateful!
ungrateful!
Profit-seeking!
Seeing gain and forgetting one's righteousness!
…
As long as James runs away, there will be a lot of infamy on him!
The Cavaliers won’t have to worry about not being able to recruit stars in the future!
After all, there is a boss here who is willing to spend money!
So the Cavaliers owner must spend this money.
In fact, 20 million seems like a lot, but if James can stay, it won't be much money.
The worth of all superstars in the league is much higher than their salary!
James' salary this year is 15.78 million.
If based on James' box office appeal and influence, his salary should be at least 30 million!
Kobe, Curry, Howard and others are the same!
Because the league has salary cap regulations, the salary each player can receive is related to your strength and your playing experience!
It doesn’t mean that you will get a high salary just because you are great!
For example, James has only 6 years of playing experience, so the maximum salary he can receive is 15.78 million!
And the 38-year-old O'Neal has a long playing career and can get a salary of 20 million, which is more than James!
The same goes for Curry.
Since Curry is a rookie and his draft order is No. 7, his salary this year is only 2.71 million!
It’s no use even if you get the MVP!
That’s all at most!
When Warriors fans come to watch games, a large part of them come to see Curry!
Not only the Warriors’ home stadium, Oracle Arena, but also many away fans in the league have been conquered by Curry!
This season, the tickets for many teams to face the Warriors are much higher than usual!
Why?
Because the Warriors have the best record in the league!
Because the Warriors have the league’s hottest star—Curry!
Of course James is the same!
Therefore, every superstar's salary is far lower than his actual value!
If possible, the Cavaliers owner would rather give the $20 million directly to James!
As long as you stay, I can give you an extra 20 million yuan in salary!
But alliance policy doesn’t allow it!
If you spend an extra 20 million on recruiting players for the championship, then you will have to pay a luxury tax of 20 million or more!
That is very not worth it!
Now spending 20 million to treat O'Neal is equivalent to buying James happiness and satisfaction!
As long as James stays, it will be worth it!
So the Cavaliers boss has no choice, this money must be spent!
He just blamed the general manager for being incompetent and couldn't let Deng Fang want less!
He just blamed Deng Fang for being greedy and asking for so much money to treat a disease!
Why don't you rob a bank?
If you scold me, you should agree to it or you have to agree.
As a businessman, Cavaliers owner Gilbert is very smart and he can settle this account.
Although I was scolded, my boss agreed. This is the best news!
The general manager of the Cavaliers quickly took out the phone and pulled out Deng Fang's number.
If you have money in your hands, you will have the confidence to speak!
The Cavaliers agreed to the offer, and the rest is easy to say!
The Cavaliers general manager called Deng Fang mainly to discuss the contract details.
When spending such a large amount of money, it must be guaranteed!
What if O'Neal gets injured again later?
What if O'Neal gets injured against the Warriors?
If I seek treatment from Deng Fang again, will I still need money?
These are all problems.
NBA games are very intense, especially the playoffs.
There are many cases of injuries just after recovery!
These must all be discussed in advance.
Of course, these are easy to talk about because Deng Fang had discussed them before when he treated James.
Just do everything as before!
If O'Neal's right foot is injured again, whether it is against the Magic or the Warriors, Deng Fang will treat O'Neal for free!
Of course, this season only!
If the injury occurred elsewhere, Deng Fang would not care.
It will still cost money to seek treatment from Deng Fang!
Price unchanged!
What Deng Fang did was reasonable.
The Cavaliers general manager had nothing to say.
I can’t just treat you once and then treat you for the rest of your life!
After the two parties reached an agreement, the Cavaliers general manager sent O'Neal to Golden State on a chartered flight overnight.
Time waits for no one, the sixth game will start the day after tomorrow!
You must seize the time.
There is no problem on Deng Fang's part, it's just acting.
In less than ten minutes, Deng Fang cured O'Neal's right foot injury!
