It could be said that LeBron stayed, or more accurately, the Cavaliers had no choice but to settle for this deal.

Moreover, the fact that the Cavaliers could make good use of this trade exception was all thanks to Danny Ferri.

It couldn’t all be connected to LeBron, could it?

The worse part now was that the deal hadn’t even happened yet.

Strictly speaking, LeBron was still a free agent.

Gilbert repeatedly leaked information, completely shattering LeBron’s hypocritical facade and exposing his true nature of disloyalty and unfaithfulness. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Signing such a player was risky, so Pat Riley altered LeBron’s contract to a 2+1+1+1 contract.

The last three years were all options for the Heat Team.

When LeBron saw the contract, he was shaking all over.

This was too much, utterly too much!

It was simply too much!

But what kept LeBron’s blood pressure rising was the offer from Nike that followed:

A four-year contract for fifty million.

That only averaged out to twelve and a half million a year!

To think his previous contract was seven years at ninety-three million, averaging thirteen point twenty-eight million a year...

That meant he had played for seven years, his value hadn’t increased, but had actually decreased.

Also, note the duration Nike offered:

Four Years!

This meant that the four years with the Heat Team would be his last chance, and if he couldn’t make a comeback during those years, the contract Nike would offer him next could only be described as pitiful.

It was only at this moment that LeBron realized the depth of the valley he had fallen into.

Richie Paul conveyed his fury.

The Nike representative only smiled slightly upon hearing it, "We understand LeBron’s frustration, and we hope he can channel this energy on the court. We look forward to him proving himself!"

Richie didn’t give a fxxk to say!

This was a group of opportunistic bitches!

And LeBron thought the same.

But if the Nike representatives knew their thoughts, they would definitely curse:

If you weren’t such a bitch, would we be in such a passive position?

Originally, LeBron James was their bet on the future.

Including leaving Cleveland and going to the Heat Team, they also saw it as a very good choice.

But you had to leave properly!

Why stir up so much trouble and completely ruin your own reputation?

As Kobe was getting older, the top spot at Nike seemed destined to fall onto Su Wan’s head, and no one could threaten his position.

Especially now that he had announced joining the New York Knicks.

With the support of the New York media, even Nike had to bow its head and seriously consider the proposals Su Wan proposed.

To establish his personal brand—yes, Su Wan spoke of establishing his own brand and then selling shares.

But wasn’t that the same thing?

Nike couldn’t be without a top figure.

LeBron’s transfer this summer had placed him at the forefront against which everyone was pushing.

What else could they do but consider Su Wan’s demands?

Currently, in the league, there was no one else who could match Su Wan’s influence, LeBron had become the "Public Enemy of All over the United States," and with just Kobe, Nike couldn’t afford the loss of Su Wan.

Moreover...

Once Su Wan made a name for himself with the Knicks, his influence was bound to soar to new heights.

Although the Knicks had been terrible for ten years.

And over these years, it seemed that any superstar who went to the Knicks automatically worsened.

But Su Wan...

Was he an ordinary superstar?

They were more willing to believe that Su Wan would save the Knicks than expecting LeBron to win the championship with the Heat Team.

No choice, the glory Su Wan brought to Indiana was visible to all.

It was simply...

You couldn’t help but anticipate such a guy.

On July 14, the league officially approved the trade contract between the Pacers and Su Wan.

The New York Knicks sent Wilson Chandler, Al Harrington, Tony Douglas, and rookie Lin Shuhao, the 2012 first-round pick, 2014 first-round pick, and 2016 first-round pick, plus the 2014 second-round pick, and acquired Su Wan from the Pacers!

The moment the transaction was officially completed.

New York boiled over again.

All while preparing to welcome Su Wan.

On July 18, Dolan’s private jet arrived at Bolis International Airport, specifically to bring Su Wan to New York.

And when landing at Kennedy Airport, Su Wan watched as the cabin door opened, he just got up and walked to the cabin door, and saw a long red carpet laid at the stairs.

A line of welcoming girls, holding poppers, waited for Su Wan to walk across this red carpet.

The moment he landed,

These welcoming girls also pulled the triggers on their poppers right away.

"Pop, Pop, Pop!"

"Pop, Pop, Pop!"

"Pop, Pop, Pop!"

The poppers fired in unison, with no intention of stopping.

Amid these burst of small poppers, one could only hear:

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Booming sounds like big cannons sounded.

The sky was filled with "explosive salutes," one burst following another, the booming sound incessant.

Su Wan walked down the red carpet to the passengers’ gateway, where Dolan and Donnie Walsh along with a group of New York Knicks executives were all smiles, waiting for Su Wan.

"Su Wan, welcome to New York, this will be your city from now on!"

Then Dolan led Su Wan onto a car.

A sightseeing bus...

Ahead of the sightseeing bus, a dozen police cars paved the way.

The same was true at the rear.

On both sides of the street, New Yorkers were packed, each face carrying an excited smile.

"Su Wan," "MVP," various cheers went back and forth, accompanied by the fireworks that continued to explode in the sky, making Su Wan feel as if it were a championship celebration.

They say to pop the champagne at halftime!

But the game hadn’t even started yet!

And the champagne was already popped!

Oh well...

That’s New York for you!
