The NBA free market has just opened for a few days and many big deals have appeared. The most shocking thing is that the Lakers formed the "f4".

The Lakers signed Carl Malone and Gary Payton one after another. O'Neal has been preparing for this since he was eliminated in the first round. The three of them often partnered in the star game, and they all had their phone calls from each other and had reached a private cooperation.

The two veterans chose the Lakers, one is that the big cities have a high exposure rate, and the other is that the Lakers have a championship background. The previous three consecutive championships are too impressive. They believe that the Lakers cannot win last year because they have flaws at No. 4, and their weaknesses will be made up after joining.

As soon as the deal was announced, O'Neal and Guo Xu were very proud when chatting, feeling that they could stabilize the Suns in the new season. Moreover, both veterans came to see him, which proves that the Lakers are still his team.

Many media predict that Kobe will break out of the contract in the summer of 2004 and pursue a larger maximum salary. O'Neal's plan is to lead the Lakers to win the championship and then ask the management for an early renewal, otherwise he will break out of his last-year contract in 2005.

Guo Xu probably both wanted to force each other away, and the conflict between the "ok combination" off-court was made public last season.

Kobe's ambitions do not allow himself to continue to be the foil for others. As his strength increases and O'Neal's age gradually increases, the uneasiness factors in the Lakers will become greater and greater.

Seeing that O'Pang was so happy, Guo Xu couldn't bear to pour cold water on him. If the two had to separate, Old Bass would definitely choose to keep the younger Kobe, even if O'Neal was still the No. 1 center in the league.

It is difficult for the Lakers to win the championship, and even F4 can maintain good health, they have to work hard. Malone is 40 years old and Payton is 35 years old. Last season, their data are beautiful because of their poor teammates and have poor ball rights. When they come to the Lakers, they have to reduce the number of shots.

John Stockton, who had just announced his retirement, was confused. The statues of the two Jazz elders were shaped. Where is the Marlon man?

The Bucks management collapsed. Last year, they sent Ray Allen, Kevin Ollie, Murray and a first-round draft pick to exchange for Payton and Mason. As a result, Payton, who could attract fans, played for half a season and ran away, leaving only one Mason, who had no basket and was good at dunking runner-up, suffered a lot.

In order to keep Payton, the Bucks management previously sent low-paying and high-energy point guard "Alien" Sam Cassel and center Elvin Johnson to the Timberwolves in exchange for defender Anthony Pierre and forward Joe Smith.

Since Pierre chose to jump out of the contract, it was almost like the Bucks giving away a star for free, and helped the opponent clean up Joe Smith's garbage contract. There were probably some insider trading between the two parties, but this time the Wolves manager McHale was not caught.

In the next two seasons, Kassel's annual salary was 3.7 million and 4.1 million US dollars respectively. It is hard to imagine that this was the salary of a player with 19.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists last season.

Seeing that the strength of the Western Conference team has improved significantly, the management of the Nets team, which has reached the finals for two consecutive years, can't sit still. However, there are not so many good players in the free market to choose from, and the Nets' inside weaknesses are too obvious, so it's not enough to not strengthen them.

The Nets manager was excited and gave Alonzo Mo Ning, who had not played in a game due to kidney disease last season, 22 million yuan, and I believe he has recovered his health safely.

You believe whatever others say? The Internet team is purely rich and has nowhere to throw away.

The Spurs, which urgently need to strengthen the inside, can only choose Olavokandi, and Nestrovic chooses one of two. They signed the latter for $42 million in 6 years. The price is obviously high, but if they don't sign, the Spurs will not be able to defend the title next season. Nestrovic at least has a good body, which can ensure the inside defense and will not let the opponent do whatever he wants in the penalty area.

The Spurs also signed Lakers veteran Robert Horry to strengthen the No. 4 position. He has rich game experience and his way of playing in the inside is pretty good.

Because Horry and Bowen have great off-set moves, Guo Xu thought about digging Horry to the Suns, but after considering it, he gave up. The Suns have too many new players in the interior, and their playing time is difficult to allocate. Haslem's defense is better than Horry, and he can defend alone and grab the board. It is enough to shoot mid-range shots on the offensive end. There is no need to pursue Horry's 35% three-pointer, and he can't even make one per game.

Horry can't run fast and can't run and play. If this year's second round rookie James Jones plays the No. 4 position, he can also shoot three-pointers and runs much faster. Cultivating him will also be beneficial to the team's future.

On the 17th, the Hawks, Timberwolves, Knicks and the 76ers completed a four-team big deal.

Hawks forward Glen Robinson went to the 76ers and got the Timberwolves retired player Trier Brandon.

The Knicks traded "Madman" Sprewell to the Timberwolves and obtained 76ers Van Horn.

The Sixers also sent second-round rookie Tyres Hanson and 2007 first-round draft pick to the Hawks, getting center Mark Jackson from the Wolves.

The 76ers and the Timberwolves made a profit in this deal, and the two stars were traded because of conflicts in the locker room.

Iverson said excitedly: "I like Big Dogs. He is the kind of player who can get a lot of points but won't get more points than me. He strengthened our forward line."

Garnett said: "Now that I have Kassel and Sprayville, what's the first round of spell that can be hell?"

Then, the Timberwolves signed Olavokandi with a three-year, $16.2 million deal, and the lineup was too strong.

The King also obtained strong aid and completed a three-party deal with the Pacers and Spurs.

The Spurs sent Danny Ferry to the Pacers, got forward Tkoglu from the Kings and swinger Ron Mersell from the Pacers. The Kings also sent inside Pollard to the Pacers, getting last season's All-Star inside Brad Miller.

Media commented that Weber can recover from his injuries in the new season with peace of mind. In addition to breaking through, Miller can do Weber's job.

The Spurs have also strengthened themselves. Tekeglu is an excellent striker, and can help the team when playing or substitute. Ron has a very strong state and is a big shot.

The Pacers' inside line is less than Miller's strength has dropped sharply. O'Neal Jr. must undertake more tasks, but they have no choice. The salary space is destined to be unable to renew Miller, so it is better to trade it as soon as possible.

The Warriors and Mavericks' deal was the most surprising. The Warriors sent Danny Fordson, Chris Mills, Wilsh and star Jamison to the Mavericks, in exchange for Eschmeier, "Little General" Johnson, Puopier Jones, Rigado and Van Exel.

Bathir was stunned. What is this situation? The bosses of the team have left, how can the Warriors bring warmth like this? Will Van Exel and I be the core of the offensive in the future?

The truth is that the team has not achieved results for several consecutive years and cannot enter the playoffs. The Warriors management is completely disappointed with Jamison. They want to train them by playing badly and then choosing a core, regardless of the results in the new season.

Old Nelson became full of energy. The Mavericks had Nowitzki, Nash, Finley, Jamison, and their opponents were trembling!

However, the Mavericks' lineup is unreasonable at first sight. The hidden danger of poor defense in the penalty area is not compensated, and a striker who is not well-off will be traded, and the ball rights are not enough. But old Nelson thinks that this way he can win, and he has to kill the opponent by attacking. This old man is crazy.

After watching these terrifying deals in July, President David Stern was a little unhappy. The Lakers, Timberwolves and Mavericks all gathered together. He didn't want the stars to be concentrated to this level, and only a few teams can compete for the championship.

What should I do if this makes those teams with only one star? Will they make a collective spoil after the game?
