August 1.

Time flies in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, it is August 1st.

As time entered August, just after the bell rang at 12 a.m. in August, several major signings came out of the league.

Among them, the Magic, as the defending champion in the league, has always been deeply attracted by other teams.

So at 12 o'clock, many people all looked at the Magic, intending to see what operations the Magic will do this season.

After all, this season, with the Magic's renewed its potential newcomer Su Jiu, and traded All-Star player Carter from the Nets. After this series of operations, the Magic's defense of the title next season has obviously already blown the horn of charge.

So after the free market opened in August, all teams wanted to see what kind of news the Magic would have in the free market.

Sure enough, as time just entered August 1, the Magic's methods this season did not disappoint people.

When the time entered August, the Magic team's official released several major signings.

The first of them is that the Magic announced that they had signed free agent Sean Marion on a four-year, $33 million contract.

It can be said that when this news was released, people obviously took a breath.

Although news of the Magic's crazy pursuit of Marion had spread throughout the league as early as the offseason, Marion did not make any public statements about whether he would accept the contract given by the Magic.

As a result, as soon as the free market opened in August, the Magic team officially threw out a bombshell and posted the news of the official signing of Marion.

And this news obviously became a nightmare for other teams in the East of the league to compete for the championship.

You know, although the Magic traded All-Star Vince Carter during the offseason, the Magic paid a heavy price.

That is to let Pitrus go, the team's outside defense mainstay last season, and Pitrus's traded departure directly reduced the Magic's forward defense ability.

So for teams like the Cavaliers and Celtics that have top scorers on the front line, this is obviously good news.

After all, although Vince Carter is excellent in his personal strength, he is not a player known for his defense.

If you only talk about fame, then Carter is definitely far higher than Pitrus and others, but if it is really placed in the Magic team, and considering the issue of running-in and ball rights distribution.

Then Carter can not make much more contributions to the team than Pitrus.

But while many teams are glad that the Magic's forward defense ability will be greatly weakened next season, the Magic suddenly released a big news and signed a defensive player Marion in the free market.

It can be said that when this news is completely confirmed, there will inevitably be many teams in the league who can't sleep all night and cannot fall asleep for a long time.

In addition, the second piece of news released by the Magic is that the team has renewed the championship-winning hero Iverson with a two-year contract.

As for the specific amount of the contract, both parties have not been able to announce it.

Regarding this matter, most management in the league have already guessed that Iverson has a high chance of staying in Orlando.

After all, although Iverson helped the team win the championship trophy last season, he completed a redemption for his career.

But as Iverson's offensive ability has begun to decline greatly as he grows older, this will definitely be an irreversible fact.

So in this case, the contracts that other teams can offer for Iverson are also given shorter years and equally average salary.

So if this is the case, Iverson will not find a reason to leave the Magic. You should know that Iverson spent a happy life with the Magic last season.

Whether on or off the court, it seems that it has rejuvenated the second spring of his career.

If the outside world's contract still cannot impress Iverson, then the chance of Iverson staying with the Magic will be very high.

After all, here, not only did he win the first championship in his career, but he also got along very well with his teammates on weekdays, and there were no so-called contradictions with the head coach.

So as early as July of the offseason, although Iverson and the Magic had not renewed their contract for a long time, there was even news that Iverson and the Magic had a complete quarrel.

But in this case, other teams still believe that Iverson will have a very high chance of staying with the Magic.

The final result was indeed as expected. As soon as the free market opened in August, Iverson announced that he would continue to stay with the Magic with a two-year contract.

As for why the details of the contract are not made public, I believe that in this negotiation between the Magic and Iverson, some of the two sides must have made concessions first.

The extent of this concession is probably not very small, so the details of the contract are not disclosed, and this kind of thing is also very common in NBA.

When these two news was announced, many Orlando fans fell into madness.

Because as Iverson is sure to continue to stay with the Magic next season, this means that the Magic will have two very popular players, Iverson and Vince Carter, in the next season.

The playing styles of these two players are very attractive. One of them is as beautiful as a picture-like dunk and the other is as beautiful as a picture-like one. It is definitely an idol of a generation of young people.

To put it in the words of fans, when these two people play on the same team, even if the team's record is not good, I believe that the audience will still be full in every game.

What's more, the teams where these two people are not the bottom team in the league, but the Magic team that just won the NBA championship last season.

So in this case, people seem to have expected the Magic's box office in advance at the next season.

Among them, fans discovered a very terrifying thing, that is, on the Magic's lineup list, there are three All-Star vote kings in history!!

And these three All-Star vote kings are Iverson, Vince Carter and Howard.

It has to be said that when a team has three players who have won the All-Star votes at the same time, this can definitely be called a visual feast.

It can be said that being elected as the All-Star vote king does not necessarily mean that this player is the most popular player in the league.

But on the other hand, if he can be elected as an All-Star box office player, he will definitely have a very large number of fans in the league.

So when Vince Carter, Allen Iverson and Howard, the Warcraft, are sure that Magic fans will become very crazy next season.

In addition, when people thought that the news about the Magic team had ended, the Magic team released another message.

And this news is related to a retired player, who just announced that he would retire last season.!

Williams, the white chocolate in 1975, is already 34 years old this year. After the end of the 2007-08 season, Williams had just announced that he had signed a one-year contract with the Clippers, and suddenly news came out about his preparation for retirement.

In the end, White Chocolate Williams, who had just signed a contract with the Clippers, chose to retire without any competition.

Just when people think white chocolate will disappear from now on, this year, Jason Williams announced his comeback in a high-profile manner.

And as soon as the free market opened in August, it was reported that it had signed a one-year veteran minimum salary with the Magic.

It can be said that this news is definitely a bit too sudden, because during the offseason, all teams are focused on free agents in the free market.

No one expected that the Magic would contact Williams, who had announced his retirement in private, and the two sides reached an agreement to really win Williams.

Faced with this situation, the Magic obviously caught off guard against other teams in the league, but many people still expressed their understanding of White Chocolate Williams' choice.

After all, as the NBA champion last season, the Magic have already had very strong strength, and during this offseason, the Magic have been strengthening the team.

So for veterans like White Chocolate Williams who love basketball, joining Magic will obviously be a very high-quality choice.

Even if nothing unexpected happens, Williams is likely to win the second championship ring in his career.

In fact, White Chocolate Williams also chose to make a comeback after retiring in his previous life, and after his comeback, he also chose to join the Magic.

Because when White Chocolate Williams retired, the Magic had been in active contact with him.

If you want Williams to come back, come to the team to give guidance to the young defenders in the team.

Faced with the active contact of the Magic, White Chocolate Williams finally joined as he wished.

However, as the Magic won the NBA championship trophy last season, when Su Jiu thought this scene would not happen again, White Chocolate Williams finally came to the Magic, which made Su Jiu feel a little unprepared.

"It's a sloppy..."

With a series of news from the Magic, many teams in the league will inevitably feel restless.

Because at this moment, the Magic's lineup on paper will be very strong next season, and it has even become so powerful that it is terrifying.

And in addition to this, what makes people feel most uneasy is that even though the Magic's lineup is already very strong at the moment, the Magic have not yet collected enough 15 people's lineup list.

Similarly, the salary cap is not completely locked, and this situation means that the Magic will still have the possibility of continuing to operate in this free market this year.

No, to be precise, it is not that there will be a possibility of continuing operations, but that the Magic will definitely have some other operations in the free market in the future.

So whenever the management of other teams think of this, they feel a little depressed instantly.

Because in the dark, the Magic's attempt to win the championship in a row seems to be becoming more and more realistic.

However, after the free market opened, it was not always a good thing for the Magic.

Among them, Tkoglu, one of the heroes who helped the Magic win the championship last season, had news, but this news had nothing to do with the Magic.

If you really want to get some connections, at most you can add the title of a former Magic team champion.

During this offseason, Tekoglu, a free agent, is highly sought after by other teams.

After all, compared to Iverson, who is already in his twilight years, Tkoglu is at the peak of his career at this time, and he has just proved himself in the playoffs last season.

So in this case, Tkoglu will surely welcome the pursuit of many teams in the league.

In the end, under the scrutiny of many teams in the league, when people thought that Tekoglu would likely land in Phoenix and join the Suns, news suddenly came from the Toronto Raptors.

According to official reports from the Raptors, the Raptors have signed a five-year, $53 million contract with Tkoglu.

Tkoglu will also assist Dragon King Bosh in the next few seasons to launch a new round of impact for the Eastern Conference playoffs.

After a long wait, the Rockets officially announced that the team officially completed the signing of former Lakers small forward "Cobra" Ariza, and the specific amount of the contract was not disclosed to the public.

Although the Lakers failed to win the NBA championship trophy last season, they were swept 4:0 by the Magic in the NBA finals.

But the Rockets are still very optimistic about Ariza's personal strength and plan to trade him to train him as a star.

Although this sounds a bit funny, at that time, this was what Morey's brain thought.

In addition to Ariza of the Lakers, finally, the little Shark Bynum, who has been highly anticipated during this offseason, also heard news on this day.
