Ron Artest's arrival can well play the offensive problem when McGrady is unable to play or loses due to injury, and at the same time it can bring the intensity of the game to the Rockets and enhance the Rockets' confrontation on the defensive end. Sean Battier is a little troubled when facing a physical forward guard. Now the Rockets don't need to be afraid of players like Stephen or LeBron James.

Although with McGrady and Sean Bathir, adding Ron Artest to the forward line is a bit wasteful. You should know that Artest is a player with an annual salary of nearly 10 million US dollars. When will the Rockets be so generous that they will sit on the bench with a ten million US dollars? Except for injuries.

From this point of view, the Rockets are indeed very ambitious this season. With the replacement of new coaches, they have added new strength, which is consistent with the boss Alexander's claim at the end of the season. The Rockets cannot tolerate continuing to be mediocre and will launch an attack on the championship throne.

Can this lineup reach the championship? Of course, if Yao Ming, McGrady and Artest can stay healthy, the Rockets' strength on paper may be likely to hit the championship, but it must be considered that Adelman just coached the team, and as we all know, he is an offensive head coach.

The Rockets played a thorough defensive tactic last season. It seemed not that easy to suddenly change from defense to offense, especially since this basically went to two extreme tactics. Judging from the fact that Alexander invited Adelman, it seemed that it was not as close as the championship.

Adelman has never been a champion coach. Everyone knows that offense wins box office and defense wins championship. From the four teams that go to the division finals, they are all defensive teams. You know that although Jeff Van Gundy has never won the championship, he is a defensive master who has mastered Pat Riley.

Although the Rockets' record in the past two or three seasons is pretty good, the football market, especially the sales players of tickets, do not understand it very much. In order to attract fans to watch the game on site, the Rockets have basically the most activities held. Van Gundy even bought tickets at his own expense to give them to the most enthusiastic fans and formed a fat cheerleading team, but it did not work.

Even if you get Artest, it is not a big deal. A championship declaration that is reluctant to invest heavily is actually a joke. However, when Stephen saw Yao Ming's excited look, he was really embarrassed to attack him.

However, from Artest, Stephen thought of Stephen Jackson again. Both of them were the main players of the Pacers' army back then. Under the leadership of Reggie Miller, with Jermaine O'Neal inside and Artest and Stephen Jackson outside, this Pacers have the most hope to be close to the championship.

It’s a pity that an Auburn Palace incident destroyed the team. Thinking of the protagonists of the incident, Jermein O’Neal, just became a player of the Toronto Raptors. Artest was in a blink of an eye and came to the Rockets again. His life experience was, but that’s it.

Artest is a power floor player who is good at defense, while Stephen Jackson is good at offense, especially his offensive methods. There is almost nothing he can't do. Remember, there is nothing he can't do, not that he is not good at.

Although there is no obvious and confident scoring method, his strong offensive confidence makes up for this shortcoming, especially when the team scores in a difficult situation, his confidence can bring great help to the team, although sometimes opportunities may be wasted because of excessive confidence.

At the same time, although his single defense ability is not as good as Artest, it is not bad. A player who can securely start in the San Antonio Spurs is generally less than that, and his defense has no obvious shortcomings, and he does not suffer any losses in both body, strength and speed.

If he could be brought over, Wilkins could send him away. Wilkins was weak in ability. Whether it was with Stephen or Durant, he was a little lacking in ability, which often led to problems in cooperation. If it were Stephen Jackson, it would definitely be much better.

However, Stephen Jackson is not a free agent, nor is he a restricted player. He signed a six-year, $40 million contract after leaving the Spurs. Now he is still two years away from expiration. So he can only discuss with the Golden State Warriors how to trade him.

From Baron Davis' departure, we know that the Golden State Warriors do not attach much importance to them now. As long as there are suitable chips, the Warriors will definitely let go, but for the Supersonics, they don't even have a chip.

Stephen told Presty that although Presty recognized Stephen Jackson's ability, he clearly told Stephen that with the team's current strength, he would not get such a player unless Stephen Jackson became a free agent, the Supersonics had enough room to sign him.

It’s a pity that Stephen is not the boss of the team. Otherwise, he would have to get what kind of player he likes, no matter what. However, although Stephen Jackson is good, it is not irreplaceable. Although this is what the general manager should worry about, after hanging up the phone, Stephen also searched in his mind that players are both good and cheap.

In addition to communicating with Presti, Philipta Martin also has certain decision-making power for many of the team's affairs, and often communicates with Stephen. In this way, Stephen's voice in team affairs has increased greatly, and Carlesimo has no control over anything.

In addition to choosing two rookies, the Supersonics also gained two players in the trade. No matter how their performance was in the New York Knicks, they were still quite active when reporting.

As for Russell Westbrook and Sergiy Baka, Russell Westbrook has confirmed to lead the Supersonics to this year's summer league. Sergiy Baka's contract with the original team is still in dispute. If all buyouts are bought out, it may cost several million euros. The team can only provide Sergiy Baka with a buyout fee of $500,000. The gap is too large, which makes Sergi a little hesitant.

He personally wants to join the Supersonics as soon as possible, because such a rising team is very attractive, but the contract there is no way for him to not resolve. Although he has coordinated many times, there is still no way. The league itself does not deal with European teams, let alone a second-rate team in the French league.

After Stephen knew about this, he was unwilling to waste the players he had finally selected. Waiting for another season would be a waste of a season. Moreover, at the age of Sergiy Baka, it was time to improve. If you play for another season in a team, you would not have the effect of training at all. Maybe there would be a negative effect. So, please come here quickly.

After Stephen's contact, Seergiibaka gave up his former agent and chose the Innovative Artist Economics Company, and then the Innovative Artist Brokerage Company communicated with the original team. The Innovative Artist Brokerage Company has an unparalleled influence in the entertainment industry, and even France can influence it.

Through a relationship of twists and turns, the original team of Ibaka finally agreed to Sergi Ibaka buy out the contract in advance for a price of one million US dollars. The team spent 500,000 US dollars, and Ibaka personally took out another 500,000 US dollars, and finally got rid of the original contract and successfully signed the team.

Originally, he could not sign with the team before he bought out the contract. If he did not sign with the team, the team could not pay him salary in advance for him to buy out. As a result, Ibaka easily took out 500,000 US dollars. Although it was his entire property, it was already very good to save 500,000 US dollars in the French league.

Many young players have the first thing they do after signing a contract is to buy a car, house and change their girlfriends. It would be good if they don’t pay their salary in advance, let alone save money. After Ibaka signed a contract with the team, in addition to giving the agent commission, she only only had 200,000 US dollars, and the rest would be given after the season was over.

Ibaka also has a good impression of Stephen who helped him, so she called Stephen to express her gratitude. However, Russell Westbrook still has no say at all, and she doesn't say that she will report to the team boss.

Stephen doesn't care about these things. How can we say that capable players are all arrogant guys. Whoever is willing to be content with others is also a little arrogant. As long as you play hard and play according to tactics, Stephen doesn't expect every player to be as obedient as Coopard.

Cooperd has been very busy this summer. Except for the days during the Olympics, you can relax and see what the Chinese national team plays. Stephen has arranged a lot of training for him during the other time, preparing to take a summer to take Kooperd to a new level.

Cooperd also realized his lack of ability, especially in the playoffs, which did not provide much help to the team. In addition, his next contract renewal was like a carrot in front of a grinding donkey, which allowed him to see it all the time, but it was not reachable. This was also one of the motivations for his efforts.

Cooperd is just too hard to work hard and has a contract renewal goal. Stephen believes that even if Cooperd's training movements and enthusiasm are not supervised by himself, he will definitely be guaranteed. In this case, Cooperd will definitely make progress in the summer alone and will also give him more support next season.
