When Guo Xu was having a great time playing in the movie, there were constant signing of transactions in the NBA free market, and many big deals occurred.

The Rockets and Magic reached an agreement and made a player transaction of up to 7 players. The Rockets got Tracy McGrady, Juan Howard, Tyrone Lu and Rez Genis, and the Magic got Steve Francis, Cartino Mobrey and Kevin Cato.

Yao Ming is now back to China to prepare for the Athens Olympics, and he was surprised and happy when he saw the news.

He was shocked that "Boss Fur" was suddenly replaced. Although this boss is average in ability and is a slut, he is quite righteous. He is happy that the team has won McGrady, who has won the scoring champion. His strength is obviously one level higher than Boss Fur, and Cato finally got out of here. He had long had enough of the Rockets' double tower tactics.

This deal is inevitable. Last season, Van Gundy and Francis had conflicts and did not give in to each other. In order to establish Van Gundy's authority, Francis became a victim of the Rockets' extradition of McGundy this year.

Mobley and Boss Fur are almost life-and-death friends, and often live together in nightclubs to practice ball control. Van Gundy and Francis are in a bad relationship, so he will naturally provoke Mobley, so he is also sent away.

Before leaving, Mobley also criticized Van Gundy for saying that the most unbearable thing was that Van Gundy often scolded the players, hoping to get the players' running position to be accurate to millimeters according to his requirements. It was so unhappy.

The two of them repeatedly summoned players that Van Gundy didn't like to force the Rockets management to fire Van Gundy, but unfortunately they failed.

In addition, the Rockets also completed a three-man deal with the Hornets. The Rockets got defender David Wesley and sent away veteran Jim Jackson and Slovenian player Nahba.

Nahba is also one of the players who hate Van Gundy and was cleaned out of the team. The management firmly believes that the stubborn and rigid Van Gundy is the best candidate to lead the Rockets' rise, but in fact, this idea is quite second-rate.

After Van Gundy came to the Rockets, he gave Nahba some playing time and trained Nahba, who was comprehensive and mobile, to become a fixed-point pitcher and defensive blue-collar worker.

After Nahba left, he also expressed his dissatisfaction with Van Gundy: "I am a small forward who can break through with the ball and play singles. I not only know how to shoot, but he doesn't look at me like this. He only allows me to do two things on the court, that is, defense and standing in an open position to catch the ball. Even if I get the ball, he will be transferred to the bench by him."

Francis also accepted an interview, and mentioned Van Gundy with a look of disdain and said a few words in a vague way. The meaning can basically be understood as "Can this thing be a coach?"

In any case, this is a win-win deal. The Rockets finally have a power forward who can open up space and can play a combination of inside and outside. Last season, Yao Ming had to pull out to cover, but the embarrassing thing was that Kato did not have the ability to attack the penalty area. Next season, Howard could pull out to shoot for a mid-range shot. Yao Ming could play pick-and-roll, or catch the ball at a low post.

As soon as McGrady came, the Rockets also had a super scorer on the outside. The management only needed to poach a powerful point guard, and the new season would be promising. If the Rockets' starting point guard was Tyrone Lu, then there would be no more...

Unfortunately, Rockets boss Alexander is famous for being stingy. In Guo Xu's previous life, if the Rockets had spent money early to sign a defensive point guard and power forward, the Rockets could compete for the championship. Now Howard has a mid-range shot and his defense is not very good.

On the Lakers side, Kobe jumped out of the contract and entered the free market. He was carrying a 6-year, $70.9 million contract, and next season is the last year, he has the player option.

Kobe's behavior is to force the management to be forced to the Lakers to choose between him and O'Neal. If he doesn't jump out, the two can work together for at least another year, because O'Pang's contract will not expire until 2006.

The failure of the first two seasons has made the Lakers management lose confidence in the O'Neal. They did not hesitate to send O'Neal away, who was about to decline in his career, and chose Kobe, who was at his peak and was young and talented.

The Mavericks are the most active team in chasing O'Neal, with a lot of chips in their hands, but the Lakers did not want O'Neal to stay in the West and turned against him and sent him to the Heat.

The Lakers tested whether the Heat were willing to send Wade, but Riley immediately refused and later made a offer - Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, Brian Grant and the first-round draft pick, and the Lakers chose to agree.

This is a win-win deal. The Heat gave away two peak players, an experienced inside veteran plus draft pick, which can help the Lakers complete the reconstruction immediately, and their overall strength will not be weak next season. After getting O'Neal, the Heat can play inside and outside with him and Wade to compete for the championship.

Compared with Guo Xu's previous life, the Heat have a different lineup. There is less Haslem, more power forward Baxter and swingman Matt Barnes, and they are very strong.

As soon as the O'Neal trade was completed, the Lakers announced the renewal of Kobe's contract, with a contract of 136 million for 7 years, shocking the entire league!

This contract is nothing in the future, but it was the highest in history in 2004. Garnett signed 126 million yuan with the Timberwolves in 6 years and became the second. The average annual salary Garnett was even higher, and there was no concept of a maximum salary at that time. You should know that the league salary cap for the 2004-05 season was only $43.87 million.

At the signing ceremony, Old Bass said affectionately: "Child, I'm sorry, according to the rules, we can only give you so much, but I hope you understand, I really want to give you more."

Bass likes Kobe so much. In his previous life, Kobe won the scoring queen. He even said: "For the Lakers, Kobe is worth at least 70 million every year." Kobe believes in his boss's words and is very confident when he forced the palace in 2007...

The largest contract of 7 years and 136 million was not broken by Lillard's five-year and 140 million yuan in 2015, and Lillard was able to surpass this record by the benefits of the "Ross clause".

Although Kobe's current popularity and commercial value are incomparable to Guo Xu, the Lakers have no other choice. O'Neal and "Zen Master" Jackson have left. If Kobe leaves again, the Lakers will not even be able to guarantee the attendance next season.

On the Timberwolves' side, the new five-year, $100 million contract for "Wolf King" Garnett will also begin to be executed, with an average annual salary of 20 million.

Garnett did not break out of the contract. Last season, he had an annual salary of 28 million yuan, and in order for the Timberwolves to sign other players, he chose to renew his contract in advance in 2003, otherwise the NBA would not have his foothold in the future.

To put it bluntly, Garnett is a passive salary cut. If his salary last season was not renewed in advance, according to the labor-cap agreement, his theoretical maximum salary was 179 million yuan in five years. In 2004, no team could afford such a high salary. Garnett could not always account for more than 60% of the team's salary cap, which is just a matter of how much it will be reduced.

The kg secrets were all moved. Although Garnett's average annual salary was higher than Kobe, who signed the first-ever total salary in history, and the combined annual salary of the other two monsters was even higher. The distribution was so uneven, it was inevitable that the Timberwolves would transform into the Husky next season to destroy the family.

When Guo Xu signed the Sun contract in 2002, his contract was 75 million for 6 years, and he was also the maximum salary, so the gap was too big.

Countless fans immediately started discussions online, believing that Guo Xu is still the representative of the league's "low salary and high energy". Judging from the contract between Kobe and Garnett, Guo Xu's popularity and record are at least 200 million in 7 years, and 30 million per year is considered reasonable.
