Chapter 1040 [The lowest hehe, the group decides one]

In July, the NBA free market opened.

Many veterans and liberos are in a dilemma and don’t know which team is suitable to join.

The first veteran to sign a new club is Paul Pierce. He doesn't want to continue to stay in the Nets anymore. He can feel the decline in his teammates' strength and changes in his mood, and it will be even more difficult to win the championship next season.

Pierce wants to join the Warriors most, but the Warriors' swingman position is too strong. Although the biggest card is Iguodala, the lineup depth is in the top five in the league and Pierce cannot be used.

After being rejected by the Warriors for his own recommendation, Pierce decided to join Coach Rivers, joined the Clippers for 11 million in two years and joined Chris Paul and Blake Griffin for the championship next season.

The Clippers' contract was originally prepared for Kobe, and the management contacted Kobe for too much negotiation. Then Kobe's economic team made a request. With the strength shown by Kobe last season, the minimum acceptable offer is 45 million in three years.

The Clippers management said hehe, and he will never mention the matter of tapping Kobe to strengthen his lineup again. Kobe has such strong strength, so go wherever he likes.

After the Clippers signed Pierce, the lineup became very attractive. They offered another 4-year, 23 million contract to poach Liberty center Spencer Hawys from the Cavaliers.

Hawyce is a completely free man. He wants to compete for the championship and has no interest in continuing to play in Cleveland. Hawyce is only 26 years old. For many players, this age is the time to pursue his first big contract, but he values ​​victory more.

Hawyce chose the Clippers mainly because he felt that he would definitely be able to start after joining, and Los Angeles would be easier to increase commercial value. Moreover, his movement speed was not fast enough, and Paul was a point guard who was mainly attacking the position.

The Cavaliers did not keep Hawyce, and LeBron James also jumped out of the contract and became a restricted freeman. Everyone guessed that they were going to start rebuilding.

Cavaliers boss Dan Gilberto lost his patience. He didn't want to continue trying to compete for the championship through trades. He didn't know what teammates he brought to James to make the team win the championship. They won a total of one game in the finals and have not reached the finals in recent years.

The boss decided to let James go and let him leave. The Cavaliers didn't consider signing first and then changing, as this would not affect James' joining a strong team to directly win the championship.

The management will not cut Boozer, and the total salary will be kept at the poor next season. They are preparing to give Isaiah Thomas unlimited shots, allowing him to play like Iverson, and focus on the inspirational card of "disabled and strong" to attract fans.

As soon as James jumped out of his contract, he became the biggest free agent this summer. The Lakers, Mavericks and other reconstruction teams with capacities immediately issued an invitation.

Having James is equivalent to half of the reconstruction, and you can build a team around him as the core.

However, James doesn't look down on these two teams. They are both Western teams who want to fight against the Warriors who won the championship last season. They cooperate with the Spurs with tacit understanding and rebuilding, let alone winning the championship, is very difficult to reach the final.

James is not going to maximize his commercial value when he goes to Los Angeles now, because he has never won the championship. And Bosh also chose to jump out of the contract and may not be renewed. He is afraid of being cheated by the Lakers.

After thinking about it, the only team James can choose is the Nets. If the Nets want to sign him, they must rebuild. In addition to Pierce, who has left, they also have to give up Nowitzki and Ariza, whose contract expires, and have freed up their salary space.

By then, the Nets will become a "big three" team. Deron Williams is in a state of unstable condition and I don't know what it will be like next season. Once this is done, the players will have to re-run.

What makes the Nets management unhappy is that James, a "superstar" who has been abused in the finals, is still on the airs. He only wants to sign a short contract for 42 million for two years. He wants to win the championship first on the Nets, and then sign a larger contract on the grounds of the championship.

After the meeting of the net team management, the wealthy boss Prokhorov made the decision.

"Sign James first and then take care of others. If they are willing to reduce their salary and renew their contracts, they will stay. If they want a high salary, they will be let go. A veteran and a defensive blue-collar worker, who can guarantee that they can still play well next season?"

Prokhorov is often suspected of not understanding basketball. He just poached big names and thought that he could just bring together famous players. When the Nets poached Kobe, he failed once because the lineup was unreasonable, and the boss didn't have a memory at all.

James knows the importance of a three-point shooter. He has his own offensive system and plays in the organization of forwards. He needs teammates who can shoot three-pointers to open up space.

Without Nowitzki, Deron Williams can play health basketball as a fixed-point pitcher. Ariza is also an important 3D player, able to defend and shoot three-pointers in the bottom corner.

As soon as he signed to join the Nets, James immediately held a press conference to apologize to the Cavaliers fans and announced his decision. He is 30 years old and will grow old if he doesn't win the championship.

Most Cavaliers fans can understand the pressure James has to bear, so of course they choose to forgive him. Some fans also expressed their depressedness. You are the famous "Zhan Zhongcheng". Why did you leave suddenly?

At the press conference, James also showed kindness to Nowitzki and Ariza, expressing his hope that they can stay with the Nets and strive for the championship together next season. He is confident that he can help the Nets win the championship.

James did not mention the salary cut. Needless to say, the two people could not stay without salary cuts. In addition, James, the Nets have three stars with annual salary of 20 million yuan.

Unfortunately, those two were unwilling to cut their salaries significantly and stayed at the Nets. The Rockets poached Trevo Ariza with a 40 million contract for four years. Ariza originally had one year of contract, so he chose to jump out and strive to maximize his interests.

Ariza won the championship ring in the Suns. He didn't have to prove himself by winning the championship in the Nets, he just wanted a big contract.

He thought he had made money, but in fact he lost a lot. Next year, the NBA will negotiate a new broadcast agreement, and players will receive a collective salary increase. The most miserable free agents signed with high salary and long contracts in 2014, and the future will be signed with bargain contracts.

After 2016, any player who averages less than double points per game can get an annual salary of tens of millions, and some can even get a high salary of 20 million, such as Brother Rayongbo, the inside player.

Nowitzki once again rejected the high-paying invitations from other teams and joined the Warriors on a three-year, $25 million contract, which is much cheaper than the Warriors originally wanted to renew Monroe.

Although Monroe is young, who should choose the sign between him and Nowitzki? Nowitzki was still the No. 1 scorer of the Nets last season. The Warriors' goal next season is to defend the title and fight immediately.

At this point, Monroe must be leaving the team. Even if he wants to stay, the Warriors will have no salary space. He wants to join a team that can get a maximum salary, but there is no such a stupid manager. The Warriors' championship last season seems to have little to do with Monroe, and his tactical role is average.

The media reported the news, and many fans discussed it online, believing that the championship next season will definitely be the competition between the Nets and the Warriors, and their lineup is obviously stronger than other teams.

The most terrifying thing is undoubtedly the Warriors. Their lineup is too deep. If Draymond Green continues to play as the starting No. 4 position next season, Nowitzki will have to play as a substitute.

Nowitzki said at a press conference where he joined the franchise that he could accept substitutes. He had already fought to win the championship and he didn't want to regret it when he retired in the future.

This is something that the new president Xiao Hua doesn't want to see. There is no suspense about the NBA game next season. How can other teams compete?
