Chapter 274: Stud Howard, five-star Knicks, assemble!!!

Compared to past superstars like Tracy McGrady and Wallace who are no longer at their peak.

The whereabouts of Anthony and Howard, two superstars at their peak, are what fans are most concerned about.

Fans will analyze each team's salary situation better than the team. Now the Knicks, Nets and other teams have the strength to get a contract!

To be honest, the Knicks are more anxious, they are anxious to show off.

It was very uncomfortable for them to see the bull show off.

Last season, Boozer, a strong inside player, played 78 games for the Jazz, averaging 19.5 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

The statistics have successfully proved that he is better than Okur. After joining the Bulls, everyone is optimistic about him. Bulls fans are even shouting to dream back to the 1996 era.

because.

Rose is much better than the current Paul killer.

Don't look at George and Hayward who vowed to have them in the new season. If they really have to fight against the tigers and wolves of the NBA, they still hope to have a stronger beast to lead them... It's only the first year, so I feel guilty!

Magic players are also worried. Two of the team's biggest superstars are about to leave. Carter's team has stated that they cannot coexist with Warcraft. The reason why they did not propose a trade is because they are expecting a wave of Magic management changes.

Now we still have Stoudemire and Anthony, so it would be fine if one of them could match up with Carter.

Warcraft is completely disappointed with the management, and everyone has discovered this. Recently, this kind of gossip about Warcraft has come out, and the magician has not come out to speak to the meritorious players. It is really magical.

Every time the Magic comes to this point, it's as if they're performing a magic trick. It stands to reason that players like Warcraft must fight to the end one person at a time, but they just don't have the intention to redeem themselves, and they are still negotiating with the Wizards and Knicks.

Coupled with the fact that forward Barnes has gone to the enemy team, the Lakers, this Monster has become disorganized. The people who made it to the Finals the year before last have fallen apart.

And with Melo and Stoudemire finally deciding on their next homes at the same time, the three managements of the Wizards, Knicks, and Magic finally came to the table to talk!

Melo's worries and Stoudemire's running-and-gun relationship finally ended this summer.

This summer, three of the top five picks in 2003: James (No. 1), Wade (No. 5), and Bosh (No. 4), gathered in Miami. In addition to proving that friendship is sometimes more attractive than making big money,

It also shows that these kids have really grown up and they have realized that they need to become famous as early as possible and get together as early as possible.

Otherwise, even if they are as respected as Malone, Barkley, and Ewing, they will ultimately carry a lifetime of regret and pain.

So, Anthony, who is also in the Banana Boat Brothers, is naturally anxious.

There were two other players among the top five picks in 2003: Milicic, who was second overall, and Anthony, who was the third overall pick.

Milicic was nicknamed "Human Cigar", no matter whether he still had great ambitions, but Anthony could not calmly face the teaming up of three classmates.

Since Wade, who has a championship ring in hand, and James, who has led his team to win the regular season championship for two consecutive seasons, have no patience to wait alone anymore, then why should Anthony have it, not to mention that he is already impatient.

Despite the fact that Billups took him to the Western Conference Finals last year, although Anthony has made the playoffs every year for the past seven years, he has been in the first round in six of them.

Although he is everyone's favorite "melon" in Denver, the fierce competition in the Western Conference and the lackluster management of the Nuggets have made Anthony gradually fall behind in comparison with James and Wei.

Under this background and state of mind, "Anthony is seeking a deal" is really not a rumor at all.

The clues of this rumor had already appeared when James decided to join the Heat, and by mid-August it had become a hot topic.

Perhaps there is a lesson from James being scolded before, but fortunately Anthony always keeps a low profile and his measures are always weak and submissive.

All current rumors about Anthony's trade are revealed by "people close to Anthony" or are inferences based on some facts.

Jiang Chao admires this. Melo's agent team has always done a good job. Even though Anthony mocked the Knicks in front of Sean Marks about the consequences of not wanting him, the news never spread.

There are now rumors in the media that Melo is having an affair with the Knicks.

Except for not allowing Melo to win the championship, there is nothing wrong with this team, and the arrangements for his career are also good.

Now, Anthony's team has asked the Nuggets to find a trade plan that satisfies both parties.

The Nuggets will naturally consider it carefully. Their first choice is to persuade Anthony to renew his contract and put a three-year, $65 million check on the table early;

If Anthony is determined not to stay, then the Nuggets will have to make a deal, because Anthony has the right to opt out of his contract next summer. If Anthony becomes a completely free agent by then, the Nuggets will lose Melo in vain.

If the Nuggets choose to trade this season, they may get back the person they want or the expiring contract.

In fact, the Nuggets' top brass has been idle all summer.

The owner's son, the head coach Karl, who was suffering from illness, and Billups who was training with Mengjiu, all used their own ways to hope that Anthony could renew his contract.

But these are obviously not enough to impress "Melon".

Yes, as Billups said, "Melo never said he was no longer a Nugget," but similarly, Anthony never said he was a Nugget.

He has been hesitant to consider renewing the contract and went to New York to get married, which seems to have shown his intentions.

And Jr following him to give blessings also shows his sincerity... After all, Jr was indeed known as a superstar follower in the early days.

If the breakup is really destined, then Denverites should understand Anthony while regretting it.

Look at the comrades the Nuggets have deployed for Melo over the past seven years - Iverson only belonged to the 76ers at the beginning of this century, Billups is 34 years old, and Martin is more like a "medicine jar."

Therefore, although "Melon" has been surly and willful in the past, and has had bad habits such as cheating on the boss and scolding the coach, but for a guy who averages 28 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game, he has reason to think that he has done his best.

But we did not get the ideal results and the promising future.

His next club is also a hot topic, becoming the biggest hot topic after James' "decision" and before Meng Jiu's departure.

Especially for Chinese fans, it is said that Anthony is secretly interested in the Rockets, and his new club will choose between Houston and New York, and so on.

Anyway, this is the biggest trade rumor in the Western Conference. The other top eight teams have basically not made such big changes, and they are more about watching the drama in the Eastern Conference.

The Nuggets may like the Rockets' immediate ability, or they may like the New Yorkers' salary space. Who knows - it's almost September, and Denver hasn't even finalized a new general manager.

Jiang Chao signaled the team not to discuss Melo. New York has more than just the Knicks, there is also the Nets.

However, it is quite sentimental to think about this summer. This is a somewhat sad summer.

Seven years later, the children of the 2003 generation have collectively realized that they have passed the age of unrestrained behavior. They must become more utilitarian in order to win, and things like rings must be used at all costs.

Including 2002's Lotto Stoudemire, No. 1 pick Yao Ming and others, the stars at the beginning of the century have begun to be unable to restrain their desire to win the championship!

It's been suppressed for too long. Every couple has the seven-year itch, and this group of people has almost seven years, which is the length of a rookie contract and a star contract.

However, the report by "Orlando Sports News" is quite funny in order to keep Warcraft.

In addition to New York, the Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Hornets can both make offers to the Nuggets for Carmelo Anthony.

They directly reported that the Nets were the other two teams that Anthony was not willing to join.

There is currently another team that is considered a place Anthony would like to go, and that is the Orlando Magic.

The Magic can make an offer for Vince Carter, whose contract is about to expire, but it is basically impossible for the Nuggets to accept such an offer.

The reporter from ESPN gave a plan that he thought was feasible. The Magic paid Michael Pietrus, Brandon Bass and Marcin Gortat in exchange for Anthony and Renaldo Balkman from the Nuggets.

The addition of Anthony and Balkman can make up for the Magic's frontcourt loss after the loss of Gortat and Buss, and Gortat and Buss also happened to leave the Magic who did not receive enough playing time.

After Pietrus joins the Nuggets, he can make up for the Nuggets' shortcomings at the small forward position.

The Bulls didn't seem satisfied with just acquiring Boozer. They also went to New York to communicate with Anthony after Anthony came to the East.

The Bulls can offer small forward Luol Deng, young forward James Johnson and cash compensation.

People with inside information like the Knicks also learned that the Wizards had also contacted the Nuggets in order to make second-hand preparations. The informant there said that they would give up chasing superstars such as LeBron James in the summer free agency market and focus on cultivating them.

Starting with No. 1 pick John Wall, we can clearly see one thing - the Wizards do not have an excellent lineup and enough chips, and they do not have the trading chips that the Nuggets need.

In fact, it was just a matter of saying clearly that the Nuggets wanted Wall in exchange for Anthony.

In the end, the most rumored news in the circle was a deal involving Paul, which was initiated by the Nets, which is only 20 kilometers away from Anthony's hometown.

Because of the addition of the Portland Trail Blazers, the New Jersey Nets have a new plan to pursue Carmelo Anthony.

According to a league insider, after joining the deal, the Trail Blazers are trying to bring in the New Orleans Hornets to complete a four-way deal with the Nets and Nuggets.

After the trade, the Trail Blazers will get Chris Paul from the Hornets, and the Nets' Devin Harris, Kris Humphries and one Trail Blazers player will be sent to the Hornets.

Denver gets Derrick Favors, and Anthony and Andre Miller will land with the Nets.

The trade plan proposed by Portland is extremely beneficial to the Nets and Trail Blazers.

New Orleans and Denver both plan to keep their superstars, at least for now. There may be a day when the Hornets decide to move Paul, and most NBA insiders believe it's only a matter of time before the Nuggets trade Anthony.

…

Knicks office.

Jiang Chao didn't wait for Howard's call, but he did wait for Anthony's call.

Anthony finally asked Jiang Chao if he wanted him. He still wanted to play for his hometown. Harden was also a rookie he particularly liked.

This is full of sincerity, which means that as long as you trade me, I will try my best to play for you!!

Obviously he also wanted to fuck the Heat, Kaizi and other teams with anger.

"We have a sweetheart, I'm sorry, Brother Gu."

Jiang Chao was also polite, but the call ended immediately with a beep.

Five minutes later, Stoudemire, a local in New York, also called (when Stoudemire was young, her mother went to the orange orchard with her family to pick oranges and sold them to New York)

He also expressed that he wanted to come to New York, but was rejected by Jiang Chao.

"We have no shortage of insiders."

Although Stoudemire has excellent statistics in all aspects, Jiang Chao always felt that it was Nash who made him the overlord, otherwise his status would not be so high.

In his previous life, he did come to New York, and everyone saw the result... From then on, there was no such thing as a little overlord who could conquer Mount Huashan with the power of heaven and earth.
