Yeah, just like James not participating in the Slam Dunk Contest.

But right now, Roger didn’t care about that, the NBA was his main stage at the moment.

At present, the only thing Roger was concerned about was, “Eric, what do you know about Shaq’s renewal?”

“Not much, but my sources say the DeVos family will have a formal talk with Shaq before the championship parade.

If all goes well, Shaq will announce the result during his speech on the day of the parade.”

“How should I express my support for Shaq?”

“Just say it directly in front of the media.”

“That direct?”

“You’re the team leader, you can definitely share your views.

And, damn it, Roger stop playing Mr.

Nice Guy, you’ve done this before, no need to be coy.

The whole world knows you’re on Shaq’s side.

Besides, you’ve already offended the management, right?”

“Yeah, Rich hasn’t invited me to play golf in a long time.”

Not just Roger, now the whole world wanted to know about Shaquille O’Neal’s next move.

And Michael Jordan’s move.

Their futures were weighing on everyone’s heart.

Michael Jordan was surprised because Reinsdorf hadn’t contacted him since the season ended.

Although they couldn’t officially sign contracts now, Jordan felt that the two sides would at least talk first.

But that hadn’t happened, Reinsdorf and Jerry Krause seemed to have disappeared, not maintaining much contact with Jordan.

Not just Jordan, but Rodman, the Zen Master, and Dumars had also not had much interaction with management.

This team had so many people to re-sign this summer, yet they were doing nothing.

David Falk had told Jordan that he had clearly requested that the contract amount start with a 3.

This meant that Reinsdorf knew what it would take to keep him.

But he played dead.

This indicated he was hesitating.

Jordan couldn’t believe it, as the absolute dominator of the basketball world, his home team was actually hesitating to renew his contract.

If it was just for a day or two, perhaps Reinsdorf needed to think about it.

But he had known the price for a long time now and still showed no response.

What were they thinking?

Whatever their plan, Jordan couldn’t let Jerry Krause mess around.

The team’s line-up was successful; they were only a little short of victory this year.

He couldn’t let that clueless idiot dismantle the team.

So, never having anticipated feeling anxious about a renewal, Jordan dialed Falk’s number: “How’s the renewal going?”

“I will talk to Jerry a few more times, Juwan hold on, it’s Michael!” Falk sounded busy on the phone.

This summer, many of Falk’s clients had become free agents, and several of them had the chance to sign big contracts.

Of course, Jordan wasn’t worried that Falk was too busy to neglect him.

He believed Falk was very aware of who had put him in his position today.

“Are you busy?”

“Not at all, I’m still negotiating the renewal.”

“What about the others’ renewals?

Have you told Jerry that, besides me, the others must stay too?

Dennis, Old Joe, Phil, they all have to stay, we can definitely make it work one more year.”

Jordan didn’t see a problem with that, as the basketball god of Chicago, he had the right to command the team to do so through Falk.

“Uh…actually, there are some problems, Michael.”

Jordan frowned, he didn’t like hearing the word “problems.”

“What happened?

What trash is Jerry trying to bring in?

Is he giving up Dennis, Phil, or Old Joe, or is he trying to trade Scott for someone else?”

“He doesn’t want to keep any of those people you mentioned.”

“What!?”

“From what I know, the two Jerrys are discussing the possibility of rebuilding.

They think the Bulls Dynasty has already fallen.”

“Rebuild…I knew it, damn Jerry Krause, I knew only that fat man could beat us!

Why didn’t you tell me this sooner!?”

“I didn’t want to disturb your rest, and you know me, I would handle everything and then present you with the best options.”

“What options do I have now?

I only have the choice to make damn Jerry Krause drop this insane idea immediately!”

“Not Michael, actually, we have quite a few options.

I was planning to come to Chicago tomorrow to talk to you about it.

What do you think about New York?”
