Xiao Si talks about joining the Knicks: I wanted to renew my contract with the Suns, and the boss said Tkoglu could replace me

May 25th News Recently, former NBA player Sir Xiao talked about the reasons for joining the Knicks in the "7PMinBrooklyn".

Xiao Si said: "I originally wanted to renew my contract with the Suns. We just reached the Western Conference Finals and we lost a winning goal. After Kobe was not involved in three games, Artest made a hit. When I negotiated with the Suns boss, I said that my score, rebounds, and blocks were the team. We just lost to the winning goal, and we should do it again.

"The boss said that you can get a part of the money by playing 72 games. I said that if you play 71 games but need to take a rest or play again, it doesn't make sense, then how do you calculate it? There are too many gray areas. He said he found someone who could replace me, and that was Tkoglu. Tkoglu was a good player, but he was different from me. ”

On July 6, 2010, the Knicks signed a contract with Xiao Si for a 5-year maximum salary contract of 100 million yuan.
