Legend of Tomorrow

The Nets sent point guard Patrick Beverley, center Brook Lopez, next season’s first-round draft pick and role player De Andrew Liggins, and switched to the Clippers point guard Chris Paul.

In order to stay LeBron James, the Nets did their best. As soon as James is gone, the Nets must be finished, and they must enter the rebuilding period immediately. There are no young players who can rebuild, and it is more difficult to attract big-name players to join.

The Nets general manager Sean Max is from the Spurs department. He knows the importance of lineup rationality and the relationship between players and his shots are more decisive. Compared to digging up ordinary stars at a premium in the free market, the deal is more cost-effective for Paul. The Clippers’ biggest problem right now is inside. They are very interested in Lopez.

Paul and James are best friends. They knew each other as early as high school. In 2002, the two left each other’s contact information after a game.

How good are their specific relationships? It is said that to the point of “sending text messages regularly”, until later Paul went to college and James went to nba, they still keep in touch like this, and often play together when there is no game.

Later, Paul entered the NBA in different teams, the key point is still thinking of the other side. For example, when James’ second son was born, James could not go to the hospital because of the preparation for the finals with the Sun. It was Paul who was born with James’ son in the hospital. He was the godfather of James’ son. Similarly, James is also the godfather of Paul’s son.

James decided not to leave during the finals, called Paul to invite him to join the Nets to play brother basketball.

The Nets are a New York team with a good location and the boss is willing to spend money. Joining other teams, James has no confidence in winning the Lakers. He decided to team up first. It doesn’t matter if he won’t win next season. Guo Xu will have a chance to win the championship as soon as he leaves.

As soon as the transaction was completed, the Nets became very attractive. Two days later, he signed centers Aron Baines and Norrens Noel in the free market to make up for the vacancy that Lopez left.

Noel is only 23 years old this year and has some training value. His physical fitness is explosive, and the shortcoming is that he is often injured. The Nets have only dug him for 4.1 million a year. As long as the health is guaranteed, it is a value contract.

Last summer, the Mavericks were willing to offer them a four-year, $ 70 million large contract renewal ahead of time, with an average annual salary of $ 17.5 million, but Noel was ruthlessly rejected.

Then Noel succeeded in death. After suffering from illness last season, he fell. The Mavericks manager did not provide him with a high salary offer. If he wanted to stay, he could only sign a low salary short contract.

At the same time, the Clippers power forward Blake Griffin decided to stay with the team and signed a five-year renewal contract with a maximum salary of $ 173 million. The team needs a core and the Clippers are ready to play forward tactics next season.

Coach Doug Rivers believes that Lopez and Griffin are very suitable partners. Lopez can pull the outside to catch the ball and create a breakthrough space for Griffin. There will certainly be many problems when defending, but the Clippers’ goal is not a championship.

As long as Mozgov and Roldeng’s garbage contract does not expire, the Clippers want to win the championship is a fantasy.

The league also has good news about Chinese players.

First of all, Yi Jianlian renewed the Celtics for two years with an annual salary of 8 million. Because of poor performance on the defensive end, he failed to win a big contract, at least staying in nba.

Followed by Zhou Qi’s contract with the Xinjiang team expired. He and the Rockets signed a four-year league base salary contract worth 5.57 million US dollars, of which the fourth year is a team option. Next season China has two players playing in NBA.

Rockets also renewed the outside star Kyle Lowry, three hundred million dollars in three years.

Morey wanted to dig up Cameron Anthony, but Anthony couldn’t help but look down on the Rockets. Without big names willing to join, they can only choose to give Lowry a high salary.

Many Chinese media immediately began to analyze how Zhou Qi’s style of play and Lowry match. His ability to shoot is far superior to blue-collar center Capella, and he will definitely get a steady playing time in the new season.

Some people even think that Zhou Qi should replace Capella as a starter and let blue collars start. Zhou Qi’s replacement is an insult to the “big devil” with a range. Ha ha……

Magic star swingman Gordon Hayward switched to the Celtics, signed a four-year contract of $ 128 million, the fourth year as a player option. The Magic management felt that Hayward was not worth the super high salary and chose to let it go.

Zac-Randorf signed the King for 24 million two years, which is also a good signing and can provide a wealth of experience.

The Raptors and Ibaka reached an agreement, and the two parties signed a three-year contract worth 65 million.

Paul Millsap renewed the 76ers for three years at 90 million. The 76ers had the team option in the third year of the contract. The contract is a bit big, but Millsap ca n’t let go. He can pull off the offensive end and is good at preventing pick-and-roll.

The Hornets reached an agreement with the Hawks. The Hornets sent out Miles Plumley, Bellinelli and this year’s No. 41 rookie Taylor Dorsey to get Dwight Howard and No. 31 rookie Frank Jackson from the Hawks.

The Warriors did not dig newcomers. The top salary renewed Curry for 5 years with 201 million, and 3 years for 48 million with Iguodala.

Nba’s salary cap is still growing. This year’s player renewal contract is bigger, and Curry has received 40 million annual salary. Many fans lamented that Guo Xu’s annual salary is too low. People like him should not set a top salary. It is not enough to get 60 million.

Many Lakers players left the team, Raymond Felton joined the Thunder, and Mike Dunleavy and Jason Terry chose to retire.

Wade chose to jump out of the second year contract and returned to the Heat. He doesn’t care about the money when he has a championship, he wants to play for the Heat until he retires. Although Pat Riley did not want to pay Wade a high salary, Wade always felt that this was his team. In Miami, fans also like Wade.

The Lakers signed the Spanish veteran point guard Jose Calderon. He has a precise shot and a strong body. He can make a guest appearance at the 2nd position, but he moves slowly and cannot defend the speed guard.

Then, the Lakers signed 3.29 million a year swingman Tyreke Evans.

This is a player with a serious injury risk ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ is often injured, but he is also a comprehensive player with a combination of sudden points and shots. At this price, Evans is absolutely profitable, and he can replace Wade to take charge of the second quarter.

The Lakers’ third sign was to give Gerald Henderson a salary at the end of the year. His 196cm tall shooting guard can catch the ball. He has rich experience in the game and took the initiative to find the door, hoping to hit the championship with his legs before retiring.

Kupchak fancy his shooting ability, to meet his desire, the new season must be a marginalist, poor defense.

The Lakers did not reserve a place, the last sign was the 32-year-old Brazilian insider Tiago Split. Female assistant Becky Harmon recommended him. The Lakers’ defense system is based on the Spurs. After joining Split, he can teach young players.

The Lakers don’t need Split to play for a long time in the new season. He must be a marginal man. Just play for a while in garbage time.

In mid-July, the Lakers’ lineup for the new season was finalized.

Centers: Ivica Zubac, Steven Adams, Split.

Power forwards: Davis Bellstein, Al Horford, Monterrey Harrell.

Small forwards: Vince Carter, Pj Tucker, Kevin Durant.

Shooting guard: Evans, Devin Booker, Henderson.

Point guards: Guo Xu, Calderon, Fred Van Fleet.
