NOVEL NEXT Chapter 337
Chapter 336 The Lakers Have An Unprecedented Lineup! They Have Been Strengthened!
Artest is testing the free market, and the Lakers are very interested in it.
The Lakers management is very clear that next year’s biggest opponent to defend the title is definitely the Celtics in the East.
Although Ariza defended well, he suffered too much against Gu Yu.
Gu Yu’s all-round talent is crushed, and Ariza can’t limit Gu Yu at all.
Artest’s melee defense, although it can’t say how good the defensive effect on Gu Yu is, at least it can consume Gu Yu’s physical strength.
The Lakers directly gave Artest a five-year, $40 million contract.
This contract is definitely not in line with Artest’s worth.
But Artest’s age has come after all.
Finally, July 3.
Artest signed with the Lakers for five years and $40 million.
After the Lakers signed Artest, they then re-signed ‘Little Shark’ Bynum with a four-year, $60 million contract.
Another four-year, $35 million, renews the ‘left-handed magician’ Lamar Odom.
Then he signed Ramon Sessions with a two-year, $7 million extension.
After the Cuckolds get old, Ramon Sessions has successfully become the main point guard of the Cuckolds.
Although the Cuckolds are still the starting point guard on the bright side, their playing time is not as good as the backup Ramon Sessions.
After the Lakers signed the contract and renewed the contract, the voice of the Lakers dynasty was endless!
Kobe, Big Hard, Artest, Bynum, Odom…
Just looking at these players is enough to show how terrible the Lakers lineup is!
“Lakers Dynasty! There is no team in the NBA that can stop the Lakers!”
“The next five years are for the Lakers! I’m already looking forward to the Lakers beating the Celtics in the Finals!””
“Western teams can be rotten collectively, let’s enjoy the performance of the Lakers next season!”5
“Three DPOYs working together, I can’t imagine the game next season.
In NBA history, it is true that three DPOY players have never joined hands.
Are the Celtics defensively strong?
But Tony, Coach Long, Shane and others have never gotten DPOY in their careers.
Is James’ defense strong?
But throughout his career, he never got DPOY.
The Lakers have three players who got DPOY.
In the history of Big Hard Special, he has never suffered a serious knee injury.
Such defensive influence can only be described as terror!
Although the outside world has begun to be optimistic about the Lakers, teams with hopes of winning the championship and wanting to hit the playoffs have not been idle.
The Suns signed Ariza, the Lakers’ starting small forward last season, for five years and $30 million.
Carter was not known for defense, the current defense is quite satisfactory.
Raja Bell’s defense is good, but he’s 33 years old.
Laga Bell’s lateral speed has started to drop last season.
Once Laga Bell doesn’t move laterally, it’s a colander facing perimeter players who are good at breaking through.
Therefore, the Suns directly signed Ariza to strengthen the perimeter defense.
At the same time, the Suns left Kurt Thomas on a two-year, $7 million contract.
Gu Yu recruited Kurt Thomas as an old teammate.
But Kurt Thomas directly rejected Gu Yu.
Now that his career is complete, he has a championship ring and needs a big contract.
The Celtics’ salary was locked, and he could only be given a basic salary.
Although the sun’s contract is not big, but it is higher than the Celtics.
Gu Yu is also very helpless about this, after all, the NBA has its own salary cap.
The sun is constantly trading in the free market, and the Mavericks are not to be outdone.
Make a deal directly with the Heat.
Heat send: Sign-and-trade for four-year $39 million Marion.
Mavericks send: Matt Carroll, Devin George and a 2012 first-rounder (top 20 overall) protected first-round pick.
Although Marion is a free agent, the Mavericks do not have salary space.
Kidd, the driver, Chandler, Caron Butler and others have big contracts.
It is impossible to learn the operation of the Lakers naked signing Artest.
The major reinforcement of the championship team is basically over.
In order to sprint for the playoffs, some teams also began to strengthen at this time.
The Pacers gave 76ers backup forward James Posey a three-year, $15 million contract.
James Posey is also a good title puzzle. In the original history, he helped the Heat and the Celtics win the championship. This history helped the 76ers win the championship.
Considering that James Posey is 32 years old, the 76ers management did not keep James Posey.
After the Pacers traded to Posey, the lineup is indeed OK.
Evans at No. 1, Posey at No. 2, Danny Granger at No. 3, and Hibbert at No. 5.
This group of lineups, except for the fourth position, is slightly worse.
To say that the lineup on paper is not bad, there is indeed no problem.
Then the big bird gave Ginobili national team teammates forward and defender swingman Carlos Delfino, a three-year contract of 12 million US dollars.
The Pacers moved again and again, and it could be seen that the Pacers really wanted to reach the playoffs.
And Gang Master Qiao was not to be outdone at this time.
He directly gave ‘Captain’ Elton Brand a five-year, $80 million contract.
Clippers send out: Sign-and-trade for five-year, $80 million Elton Brand.
Bobcats send: Jason Richardson.
Roy is still on a rookie contract. Although Okafor, Gerald Wallace and others have renewed their contracts, no one (cdee) has a contract exceeding 10 million.
Therefore, the Bobcats can withstand salary pressure.
Gangmaster Qiao is actually someone who is willing to spend money.
In the original history, in order to enter the playoffs, the gang leader Joe traded for Chandler, Lagar Bell and other players.
The history of the Bobcats into the playoffs consecutively, and Roy’s star effect is also great.
Gang Master Qiao is naturally willing to spend money.
Roy, Gerald Wallace, Dior, Brand and Okafor.
The combination of these five people may be unrealistic to say that they are competing for the championship.
But definitely has the potential to be a shitposter in the East.
The team has stars, and Joe is the same as the original history, invited Larry Brown to coach the Bobcats.
Have the entire team defensively also online.
Although Roy and Brand are not superstars at present, they have both been selected for the second team in the original history.
It can be said that the superstar is the level of two people.
In the event of an outbreak in the playoffs, it is possible to drag a series into a tough fight, or even upset.
Even Pierce, who was on vacation with Gu Yu, was apprehensive after seeing the deal.
“Gu, our next season, it looks like it won’t be easy!”
“Paul, no season can be smooth sailing, no matter who the opponent is, what we lose next season, we will take it back with our own hands!
Gu Yu didn’t care about the Bobcats, Lakers and other team reinforcements.
If you want to win the championship, you must be ready to defeat all opponents!
Pierce didn’t continue to say anything, just nodded, his eyes were full of determination.
Free market trading continues.
The 76ers made a deal with the Bulls.
76ers Giveaway: A 2013 second-round pick and some cash.
Bulls send: Andres Nocioni.
Andres Nocioni is Ginobili and Scola’s teammates in the national team.
There are two main reasons why the Bulls traded Andres Nocioni.
First, make cap space for the summer of 2010.
Second, his position overlapped with Lor Deng.
Although Loel Deng is a swingman at the 3rd and 4th position, the Bulls prefer him to play the 3rd position.
In the original history, Andres Nocioni was sent to the Kings in Big Ben’s trade.
But in this history, Daben has never been to the bull at all, so naturally it is impossible to send him away.
Scola, in this history, won the championship with Dayao.
Artest, James. Posey left, so that the 76ers need to supplement the striker.
Scola recommended his old teammates.
Andres Nocioni has a rough style of play, and there are also a lot of small movements such as kicking with his elbows.
His career 37.3 percent three-point shooting percentage is not bad.
The Bulls wanted to free up salary space, and the Bulls never thought about winning the championship, so the two sides hit it off.
After the 76ers reinforced, the Celtics also successfully reinforced a player who can participate in the rotation.
The Celtics signed Jerry Stackhouse for a minimum salary.
Stackhouse just ended his contract with the Mavericks last season.
As a guard from North Carolina, although Stackhouse is at the end of his career, his energy on the court is still good.
In the original history, he helped the Bucks into the playoffs, averaging 8.5 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.
The playoffs also did not fall out of the rotation, still averaging 20.6 minutes of playing time.
And as a villain, he can also serve as the bodyguard of Gu Yu and others.
A minimum salary to sign a player who can be a rotation and can also be a bodyguard.
There is no other word to describe it except for blood.
Celtics roster after signing Stackhouse.
