Yao Ming ended his rookie contract in 2006. What are the quotations of each team in the league?

Yao Ming was selected as the No. 1 pick by the Rockets in 2002. He just signed a four-year, 17.8 million contract with the Rockets. By the end of the rookie contract in the summer of 2006, Yao Ming could contribute averaging 20+10 per game. As the top center in the league at that time, he had become a free agent and would definitely attract the attention of many teams. Let's take a look at the quotes given to Yao Ming's team by some major teams at that time.

1: The Cavaliers

Cavaliers selected James as the No. 1 pick in 2003, but the Cavaliers have always been a weak point in the inside, without defense and rebounding in the inside. At this time, Yao Ming can definitely attract the attention of the Cavaliers. The price given by the Cavaliers is a 3-year contract of 50 million. Although there is a quote, Yao Ming's team did not respond, so there is no consequence in this transaction.

2: Mavericks

Everyone knows that Cuban of the Mavericks was very generous and treated the team and even the players well. At this time, the Mavericks also took a fancy to Yao Ming and wanted to imitate the Spurs' double tower lineup at that time. The Mavericks gave Yao Ming an annual salary of 17 million yuan, and the contract period can be 3 to 5 years. In the end, it still didn't impress Yao Ming's team. If Yao Ming could go to the Mavericks, he might not retire so early, and he would not be overdrawn. He might not know if there was a championship.

3: Lakers

Since O'Neal's departure, Kobe has been playing very depressed and has not entered the playoffs for several consecutive seasons. At this time, the Lakers must have wanted to copy the OK combination of O'Neal's era and return to the peak. It is not surprising that the Lakers have taken a fancy to Yao Ming at this time. The Lakers also participated in the team for Yao Ming. The offer given by the Lakers is not bad, with a 4-year contract of 90 million yuan. At that time, the Lakers also sent Kobe to recruit Yao Ming in person, but in the end, Yao Ming refused the Lakers because of his loyal personality.

Finally, Yao Ming chose to stay with the Rockets. The chips given by the Rockets were also annoying. They only had 75.36 million in five years, which was lower than the Lakers' offer. In fact, the reason why Yao Ming refused these teams to stay with the Rockets, let me also talk about the first Yao Ming was selected by the Rockets. Out of Chinese nature and loyalty, as well as the love of Rockets fans, the second was that McGrady came to the Rockets in 2004. At that time, McGrady had been working with McGrady for two seasons, and they were familiar with each other. Moreover, the Yao-McGrady combination was a group that had won the championship at the time. Third, when renewing the contract with the Rockets, the Rockets also gave an important clause, that is, Yao Ming can represent the national team at any time, as long as there is a Chinese men's basketball game, without any restrictions.
