Compared to the Heat's big three who were scolded, although some people criticized the Spurs' classic car combination, they received more blessings.

The great master changes the team, which is something that many people did not expect but think it is reasonable.

He has been playing for 14 years and is about to turn 32. As an athlete, God knows when he will suddenly collapse after the age of 30. Carter's strength has plummeted in the past few years, which is a good precedent.

In such a wild era, if he continues to spend time with the Lakers, the championship may basically miss Kobe.

After the Lakers were eliminated in the Western Conference Finals, Jerry Buss already revealed to the media that he wanted to change the head coach, throwing the blame to Jackson.

This means that the triangle offense is no longer favored by the Buss family. For Kobe, given his age, it is better to stay with the team to build a new system than to cooperate with an already mature system.

The 32-year-old Great God and the 34-year-old Shi Fo, who have been fighting for more than ten years, have now come together for a common goal!

Time passed day by day, and by the end of July, the initial wave of crazy enthusiasm among the Heat's Big Three and the Spurs' classic car had begun to cool down a little.

There's a lot of player movement happening these days.

The Heat's three brothers decided to join the team early, which is actually a good thing for many teams targeting them.

Since they haven't been considered, they don't have to waste their time.

The Knicks' recruitment of Janwemi was fruitless. After pestering the warden for two weeks and being rejected for two consecutive weeks, on July 15, the Knicks had no choice but to sign Paul for 4 years and US$60 million.

Pierce, otherwise this arms race will not be able to grab anyone.

T-Mac who averaged 24.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, the little bully who averaged 21 points and 8 rebounds per game, and the truth who averaged 19.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, the New York Big Three were born!

Prior to this, Knicks power forward David Lee, whose contract expired, joined the Warriors for 6 years and US$72 million.

Former Lakers top power forward David West, who jumped out of his contract, joined the Grizzlies for $80 million over six years.

The Mavericks gave away several expired contracts and acquired Caron Butler from the Bucks in a trade to strengthen the small forward position. Peja averaged 12.6 points per game with the Mavericks last season, although it was also very good.

However, there has been an obvious decline. His status as a starter next season will be worrying, but if he plays as a substitute, it will be enough. Cuban replaced his expiring contract with Caron Butler, who has three years and US$24 million left.

To defend the title.

At their peak, like the Silver Horn King and the Jets, Kidd, Chandler and others still have one year of contracts, so they can't waste it!

Gasol completed a four-year, $76 million contract extension with the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves successfully retained the core of their team.

Although the Timberwolves were eliminated in the first round, that was not the fault of the players. Seeing the performance of the Mavericks, even the always harsh media said that the Timberwolves were too unlucky.

Gasol averaged 20.5 points, 9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.7 blocks in 4 games. There was nothing wrong with his performance, but he was facing a truly peak Silver Horn king.

Yi Jianlian averaged 31 minutes per game as a substitute in the first round, scoring 15 points, 7.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1 steal, and 0.7 blocks. He shot 49.1% from the field and 40% from the three-point range. He averaged two three-pointers per game. Although he was swept, his performance was very good.

good.

It's just that he and Gasol couldn't beat the Silver Horn King...

But he still relied on his performance to get a 3+1 contract worth US$51 million over four years. With the shamelessness of his agent Fagan and his personal efforts, he raised the contract from US$40 million over five years.

4 years and $51 million.

Although Liu Xiu despised Fei Gen's operation to make Yi Jianlian take the blame for "greed", Fei Gen was indeed an excellent economic genius in terms of striving for interests.

The Timberwolves' high-paying extensions for their two top insiders, starting and backup, have given them contracts of over US$120 million. There is nothing they can do about it. Luo Yin has renewed his contract for US$1.08 billion in five years, and Luol Deng has already started earning tens of millions of dollars per year. They have already exceeded the cap.

There is no way out.

If it wasn't for the good fortune of drafting Evans last year, it would have been really dangerous.

Although Blake is good, it has been proven that this solid point guard is not enough in the playoffs.

On Blake's side, after his contract with the Nuggets expired, neither party had any intention to renew it. The Nuggets wanted to train the talented point guard Ty Lawson of the 2009 class.

After Blake left the Nuggets, shortly after Kobe Bryant chose to join the Spurs on July 12, he joined the Spurs with a partially middle-class starting salary of US$3.3 million and US$16 million in four years.

He played 80 games last season, averaging 7.2 points and 6.8 assists per game. He is known as the most stable point guard in the league. This salary is a bargain.

On July 22, Wang Zhizhi joined the Heat with a starting salary of US$6.32 million and a total of US$22 million in three years.

The Wizards offered a three-year offer of US$30 million, and the Knicks offered a three-year offer of US$22 million. Dazhi, who was used to life in a big city, chose the Big Apple.

Moreover, Liu Xiu learned from Wang Zhizhi that this national team teammate really wanted to win an NBA championship.

The 33-year-old Wang Zhizhi averaged 11 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.4 blocks per game last season. His three-point shooting percentage was 36.5%, and he averaged 1.9 three-pointers per game. His style of play destined that as long as he was not seriously injured, he would not be able to maintain his physical strength.

If it's enough, the performance won't be much worse.

In addition to these first-line players and top-level contracts, there are still a lot of player movements in the three weeks since the free market started.

The time came on July 26, and the entire basketball world was shocked again!

Student KING had just escaped from the shock caused by the classic cars in the Holy City, but he did not expect that something more terrifying would happen!

James: Labor and management are no longer playing games!

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

…

The Blazers had already guessed that something terrible would happen this summer - the warden had reminded them many times.

Therefore, the Trail Blazers management did not renew their contracts this season. Korver, Birdman, Hill, Novak and others did not renew their contracts in advance and became free agents.

And before the free market started, he and the Outlaws, whose 3+1 contract reached the player option year, agreed to get out of the contract first and renew it later. The Outlaws were not worried that the team would no longer want him. He is now in this position.

The contract was originally renewed at a premium, but it was only because he strived for it and took the initiative to make changes and play as a substitute that he performed well worth the money.

Liu Xiu also jumped out of his contract after being eliminated in the second round.

When the free market opened, the Trail Blazers only had Ray Allen, Outlaw, and Diaw, whose contracts were considered large. Dragic, Batum, Gasol, and others all had rookie contracts and were just drafted.

Avery Bradley has not officially signed yet and even only accounts for the virtual minimum salary... The Trail Blazers did not make a trade last season. On the one hand, they were looking for stability in the remaining core lineup, and on the other hand, they did not want redundant contracts.

Have a backup plan for this summer.

Keep this backhand right!

By July 25th, the Trail Blazers officially announced that they had given up the rights of Liu Xiu, the outlaw maniac, and completely completed the salary space clearing. People had already guessed that something big was going to happen to the Trail Blazers.

On the morning of July 26, the Trail Blazers officially announced that they would send Batum to the Pacers with a starting salary of US$14.92 million, 4 years plus a 1-year player option, a total of US$96 million over 5 years, and the signing will be exchanged.

Chris Bosh.

Immediately afterwards, the Trail Blazers renewed Liu Xiu's contract with a starting salary of US$16.96 million, four years plus a one-year player option, and a total of five years of a maximum salary contract of US$108 million.

With a starting salary of US$3.6 million, a three-year contract extension of US$12 million was completed with Korver.

Finally, the Trail Blazers sent Kwame Brown to the Nuggets with a starting salary of US$14.92 million, four years plus a one-year player option, a total of US$96 million over five years, and signed for Carmelo Anthony.

Three signings or exchanges were completed, and the super combination of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Anthony, and Bosh was born!

With this wave of operations, the space is completely blocked and there is no flexibility at all.

Liu Xiu knew that at this time, their team could only rely on cap extensions, bird rights, basic salary... and the draft!

If it were possible for him to really study a rookie, he knew he didn't have the ability.

But picking up treasures in the draft, picking those leftovers with strong immediate combat ability. Compared with those NBA managers who are strong in picking up treasures, he can hit ten!

In the past, he was not keen on the draft because in a normal draft, the big players are very discerning.

Then, picking up lost pearls, for their prison team, it is really better to spend money to exchange for mature and active players who the coaching staff understands.

To put it simply - big dogs are not short of money.

Things are different now. It’s not easy to spend money when you have it.

With the core lineup in place, the Trail Blazers signed Grant Hill with a base salary of US$1.4 million for one year and a starting salary of US$6.32 million for three years and a total of US$22 million for three years. The Outlaws signed a full mid-level contract with a salary of US$1.4 million for one year.

The Birdman signed a new contract with a minimum salary.

The 12-person roster is initially taking shape!

…

The Trail Blazers did something more shocking than the South Coast, the Holy City, the Big Apple City... At this time, Liu Xiu had ended his business activities and returned to the Chinese Men's Basketball Training Team, signing contracts.

The Trail Blazers flew to Qingdao to complete the signing with him.

Originally, Liu Xiu, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yue were all worried about each other every day.

Yao Ming saw that his team had no sense of participation this summer and became anxious.

Wang Zhizhi finally survived the worst years of the Lakers team and competed for the championship for three years. After competing for the championship, the boss was gone! The top scorer in the paint was also gone. Finally, he left the Angel City and went to the Big Apple to pursue his dream.

Although Yi Jianlian won a big contract and after three years of polishing his basic skills, his strength has become stronger and stronger, but he has just been swept away by the underdog, and when it comes to the NBA, he has a shadow!

Sun Yue, because Kobe Bryant left, he got a one-year contract extension worth US$1.8 million, but he has only played 82 games in the past two years. He can only look forward to more opportunities next season.

Liu Xiu, although these national team teammates were so miserable, he was eliminated in the second round and had a few more powerful enemies. He was still incredibly strong. At the beginning, he was just like everyone else, rubbing his skin and scratching it every day.

Everyone looked very sad and ready to spread fire on Türkiye.

As a result, they found a traitor!

Originally, the Trail Blazers were the team with the best chance of winning the championship. In this crazy summer, everyone felt that Liu Xiu was the one with the most pressure and the most pain.

Who knew that this guy would be the one who really had the last laugh.

Batum for Bosh, is there any justice?
