The big-name players in the NBA free market have signed and renewed their contracts one after another. Duncan, Kidd, O'Neal Jr., and Brand, all-stars have not changed teams and have obtained a big contract worthy of their value.

The Timberwolves targeted the championship, striving to make the lineup perfect, and then came from the Bulls trade to swingman Trenton Hassel. This is a combat power known for defense. He often makes the opponent make mistakes with his candy defense. Hassel fell into the second round last year before being selected because of his poor offense.

The Timberwolves also offered a 6-year contract of 37 million to renew the main point guard Troy Hudson who performed well last season.

For Hudson, the Timberwolves paid a lot of luxury taxes.

What’s funny is that this contract is 2 million higher than when the Pistons signed Bilups. McHale’s ability to spend money indiscriminately is not comparable to that of the average manager. He also pays luxury tax, Bilups’ strength is at least two levels higher than Hudson.

At this time, the Timberwolves' lineup depth can be said to be the first in the league, and there are outstanding players in the substitutes.

Kassel, Spreville, Szebiak, Garnett, Oravocandi.

The four have the All-Star strength and are the most center position. Olavokandi averaged 12.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.2 blocks last season. Although he missed many games due to injury, relying solely on his terrifying physical fitness, everyone thinks that the Timberwolves made a lot of money by signing him by the middle class. Mo Ning, who has kidney disease, has a higher salary than him.

The Timberwolves' rotation lineup is Hudson, Hoyberg, Hassel, Gary Trent, Madson and others, first-round rookie small forward Endi Ibi, and experienced inside veteran Elvin Johnson can only be the marginal.

Many experts are incredible that Minnesota's team can match this lineup. Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor is willing to spend money and has already fought to meet Garnett's requirements. If he changes positions with Clippers boss Donald Sterling, this approach will definitely be fiercely competitive with the Lakers in Los Angeles.

The Eastern Conference team also made big moves, and the Magic signed power forward Zhu Wan Howard for 28 million in five years.

After listening to Guo Xu's suggestion, the Suns escaped a disaster in summer. Manager Brian thought about it and was a little scared. In early July, the Nuggets wanted to fool the Suns and sign and then exchange them, and the target was Howard.

Now Howard was let go for nothing, one thing proves: no one is willing to sign with the Nuggets first and then exchange for someone like Howard, unless they give a bad contract.

In Guo Xu's previous life, after Howard joined the Magic, the team's strength not only did not strengthen, but also fell from the playoff team to the bottom team in the Eastern Conference. The Magic management could not bear it anymore and traded Howard and McGrady to the Rockets in 2004. All the Rockets wanted was McGrady, and Howard was a bad contract that was packaged.

The Heat signed power forward Lamar Odom for 63 million in six years. The Clippers did not choose to match, and the boss Sterling felt it was not worth it. In fact, with Odom's comprehensive performance, he deserves tens of millions of annual salary. He is one of the few organizational strikers in the league, good at supporting the inside, and excellent in the defensive end. He can not only defend against pick-and-rolls, but also protect rebounds.

Point guard Andre Miller, who played for one season in the Clippers, was also poached by the Nuggets and signed 51 million for 6 years.

The Clippers, which had a bright future in the summer of 2002, returned to the pre-liberation after a season of injury. What the boss did was to smile and see the players who were at their peak.

Wang Zhizhi, who was doing well in the Celtics, called Guo Xu again to express his gratitude. He thought about joining the Clippers back then, but his career was basically done. Of course, his evaluation of the team is not high.

The Celtics are now weak inside, and Wang Zhizhi can get stable playing time and performance opportunities in the new season. He is expected to sign another good contract in the future, at least not worse than the previous one.

There are also teams that have failed to strengthen the team. In addition to signing Alstom, the biggest reinforcement action for the Raptors is signing Spurs marginal center Bartle.

Carter proposed some of his own ideas for signings to the management, including asking Dr. J Irving to be the head coach after Coach Wilkens resigned, which were opposed by the management and they were unwilling to spend money.

In the end, the Raptors actually found the inexperienced Kevin O'Neal as the head coach. They signed a short appointment, and they obviously wanted to play the bad things.

With such a management team, Carter was almost furious and could not stay any longer.

You know, the Raptors used to be a small club that was not as good as the club. Even the blue-collar insider Camby and the "Flying Squirrel" Stadameier looked down on here. Carter is the star who has been with the Raptors for the longest time. He has turned the Raptors into a team that has been widely paid attention to by fans. However, he has not received the reward he deserves, and he has no hope of a championship, and he has no say in trading or draft.

I have to say that the Raptors' management is very top-notch, they are just a bunch of mentally retarded people.

No matter how unfavorable the Suns prospects are, no matter how fans make suggestions online, the Suns management has not traded.

Guo Xu's plan is to improve his strength through training and develop the potential of young players. Stadameer, Nene, Haslem and Diop practiced during the holidays.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Sir's mid-range shooting ability was developed this summer, which made him scored 20.6 points, 9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.6 blocks in the second season. It is very difficult to defend whether he can be inside or outside.

Xiao Si's data was traded by the Suns after Marbury played 34 games, and the team won the position of star point guard. With Guo Xu as his partner, Xiao Si's personal ability should be fully utilized and should be selected as the All-Star.

Nene has also improved a little over the same period. Last season, he played as a substitute for most of the time. He performed poorly as Xiao Si, so he had no reason to be lazy. The two started a healthy competition, and Nene only practiced a mid-range shot in one position, and he was somewhat sure.

Xiao Si's shooting results are more significant. His five fixed-point mid-range shots are good, namely the middle lane, two horn positions, and the left and right sides of the bottom line. His shooting rhythm is very good and he can shoot after receiving the ball.

Nene's advantage is that he is stronger and his footsteps are extremely fast at low positions. With fake moves, he can both break through and dunk into the basket and make a layup. When the Suns need to attack at low positions, Nene can play.

Four people fight one-on-one and defend each other much better than finding a sparring training. Xiao Si only met the frame last season. Now he has practiced back-playing, and it is also powerful to turn around quickly and apply a move to the basket.

Haslem's offense has also improved. He is a small forward with a height and movement speed in the inside line. He especially has a very fast horizontal movement speed. He practices the technique of changing directions in holding the ball and breaking through with one step, and a quick stop and jump shot.

This is the advice Guo Xu gave him last season. He cannot just rely on receiving the ball and shooting. If he can shake out space in the big inside line, a simple dribbling change under the crotch can improve his role on the offensive end.

Diop's offense cannot be developed, but his summer sparring role is the most critical. He is Xiao S, the kind of meat shield blue-collar that Nene used to hate very much. Last season, there was no such person on the team for them to practice. Now they often fight alone and have a lot of insights, and gradually know how to use their own advantages to fight against blue-collar workers.

The four of them often chatted with Guo Xu online and sent him training videos. After Guo Xu watched it, he would praise them a few words, which made them even more motivated and felt that their efforts were not in vain.
