Compared with other teams, the Sun's strengthening is like throwing a small stone into the sea, and even a small splash cannot be splashed.

They just signed Lagar Bale in the free market, came Diop from the Cavaliers trade, and traded Sgerter Williams for the second round rookie point guard Steve Blake.

At this time, the Suns had already gathered a new lineup of 15 people.

Center: Nene, Diop, Stadamier.

Power forwards: Gugliota, Kukochi, Haslem, Chris Crawford.

Small forwards: Marion, James Jones, Kirisek.

Scoring guards: Joe Johnson, Laga Bell, Josh Howard.

Point guard: Guo Xu, Steve Blake.

No media or basketball experts are optimistic about the Suns' championship in the new season, and most people predict that the Lakers will reach the top again.

Espn expert Nicholas said: "If the Suns want to win the championship, it is best to trade a new player who has played at the level of the game last season and package the role players in the team in exchange for a peak player or veteran who has the ability to start. Otherwise, they are likely to perform well in the regular season with talent and end up with their playoffs like last year."

On the Internet, fans also left messages saying that they were not optimistic about the Suns' championship competition, and believed that their lineup had not changed much from last season, so their defense would definitely not work.

Manager Brian was unsure and called Guo Xu again to discuss whether to make a big deal.

"Jason, do we want to trade a capable veteran? The Nuggets manager called me to ask if I would sign first and then exchange. They are willing to renew Juwan Howard with a five-year middle-class contract, and then trade Nenega Chris Crawford."

Guo Xu rolled his eyes and turned his head and blew, and said to the phone: "Howard has no strength? He is obviously a data brush and a defensive colander, but it is reasonable to make a mid-range shot. His strength is not as good as Haslem. Isn't it a joke to replace Nene?"

Just looking at the data, Howard is really awesome. Last season, he averaged 18.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3 assists for the Nuggets, and his career technical statistics also reached 17.9 points, 7.5 rebounds.

However, last season, the Nuggets only won 17 games. Howard averaged 35.5 minutes per game, shot 16.6 times, and shot only 45%. The middle-class signing man will definitely be cheated to death. Under the same effect, Howard's defense is not as good as Horry, who is much cheaper than him.

"Then do you have any second-rate star candidates? We are just like last season's new players, how can we compete for the championship with the Lakers, Timberwolves, Mavericks, and Kings?"

Guo Xu said seriously: "If you don't trade, just play like this. If Nestrovic can sign full middle class, how can we trade excellent inside stars? Many people are famous but not capable, so it's better to train more new players in the regular season. Don't do anything to buy out Crawford to sign free agents, keep him."

Guo Xu has studied the lineups of each team in detail before. The only inside star who may be traded is Rashid Wallace. The salary is too high. If the Suns want to trade, unless Marion is sent away, it is impossible for other high-paying players, Trail Blazers to be favored.

He also considered to come from the Kings' deal to striker Gerald Wallace, which seemed to be a bargain and could almost be exchanged for a single price without paying a price.

In fact, Gerald is very brave and has a strong physical fitness, but his shooting is not good enough to be trained for a long time. The playing style he is good at completely overlapping with Marion. The Suns have too many people swinging at No. 3 and 4 positions, so his situation is the same as when he was with the Kings and cannot be trained.

D'Antoni is not a coach who likes to play games with 12 players, so he probably only gives Gerald 5 minutes to play.

In Guo Xu's view, the Suns will encounter "beautiful troubles" in the new season, and several talented players will have to play soy.

He is full of confidence in the Suns lineup and believes that as long as the running-in is done, next season will be "killing people by people, and killing Buddha by Buddha by Buddha"!

Last season, the Suns had defects in internal and external defense, poor internal rig protection, average rebounding ability, Guo Xu from the outside could not switch to the big guy when encountering pick-and-roll, and poor shooting, Joe Johnson and Kirisek were easily overwhelmed, and his speed was also average.

The new season is different. Marion, Haslem, Bale, and Howard can defend against pick-and-roll, protect Guo Xu. Use Xiao S to defend against fast inside, and send Diop to the inside line who is good at attacking the penalty area. There are no obvious flaws in the Suns' defensive end, and Guo Xu can focus more energy on the offensive end.

With Guo Xu and Xiao Si, the Suns can ensure offensive firepower without having to bloom more points, and strengthening defense is the most important thing. Although young players are still not as experienced as teams that are the veterans, the Suns' lineup can already deal with various tactics.

After several new players joined, Guo Xu, who was filming a movie in Los Angeles, did not attend the press conference to express his welcome, but he asked for his mobile phone number and called everyone to chat for a while.

He suggested that Sir, Nene, Haslem and Diop train together in summer, both shooting and singles. Four people with different styles gather together to train, and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

As long as Xiao Si makes progress like his previous life and practices mid-range shots in the summer, only look at the depth of the inside lineup, the Suns steadily rank in the top ten or even the top five in the league. Most teams lack inside stars, have rich experience, and have already played at the level of inside. The Suns are very lucky.

Guo Xu also told Bale: "I asked the manager to sign you. Your defense in the playoffs impressed me very much. I am optimistic about your potential. In the summer, you take time to practice three-point shooting. As long as the shooting is strengthened, I will propose that you start in the new season."

Bale was flattered and immediately promised: "I will definitely practice three-pointers well. Don't worry, I will definitely help the team."

"Well, don't practice in Phoenix. The weather will make you so hot that day. Find a place for you. See you in September." Guo Xu smiled.

As for Howard, Jones and Blake, Guo Xu encouraged them to work harder during training and learn from their teammates. They will definitely not have too many opportunities to perform in the first year, and they have to start with the marginal people. There are too many people rotating.

Even Superman with a quality like Howard can only be a marginal person. How strong is the Suns? How could it be that the new season is not a championship team? They are not favored but the players are not famous, just like the Pistons who are the marginal person.

Guo Xu and Brian chatted for ten minutes, explained his views to him in detail, allowing him to wait and see the team's performance in the new season and stop thinking about the transaction.

Brian was in a much better mood and asked, "How likely do you think we will win the championship next season?"

"I can't predict this, and it's definitely difficult to have the opportunity. In short, I think the current lineup is already the most ideal state, the players are matched very reasonably and the styles are complementary. I can guarantee that the Kings will win against the Mavericks, and the Lakers will have to fight against the Timberwolves."

"Jason, my lifelong happiness depends on you. I must win the championship." Brian sighed.

"It's not that exaggerating, right?"

Brian smiled and said, "Yes, the old man said that as long as the team wins the championship, he will let me be the boss next year. As long as I become the boss, you and Mike (D'Anthony) will discuss with each other. When your contract expires, the next one will definitely sign the maximum salary, and you have the right to veto the transaction."
