Chapter 511 [Full of self-confidence, the biggest winner]
Guo Xu is basically all about entertainment news, while other stars are about sports news.
In August, the Mavericks completed a major lineup change, and the five-star lineup failed and was disbanded in one year.
The Mavericks traded with the Wizards, and moved to rookie point guards Devin Harris, Starkhouse and Leitner, while the Wizards won the Mavericks' NBA sixth man last season, Antoine Jamison and some cash.
This is more profitable than trading the Wizards. The main thing that comes back is just a rookie, and he also cleared up Starkhouse and Leitner's bad contracts, and exchanged them for someone with All-Star strength.
Starkhouse's shooting percentage last season was less than 40%, scoring 14 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4 assists, making his shots very successful. His only advantage is that he is cheaper than Jamison, with an annual salary of $7.44 million next season, and his contract has three years left, worth $22.5 million.
The Mavericks' plan is to sign Starkhouse to play the sixth man and lead the substitute to attack, but unfortunately the efficiency is definitely not high.
Leitner could no longer play, and after the deal, the Mavericks cut him, and then Leitner joined the Heat with a minimum salary.
In addition, the Mavericks also exchanged a future first-round draft pick for the Jazz for the No. 21 rookie Russian giant Podkorkin. This is a tragedy compared to the trade, but both the old Nelson and the manager Nelson Jr. were very happy and expressed satisfaction with the deal.
Yao Ming performed very well with the Rockets, so Nelson and his son got a 226cm big center. With the "big bamboo pole" Bradley, there were two giants in the Mavericks formation.
The media are puzzled by the operation of the Mavericks' management. Now many teams are starting to learn from the Suns' running and bombing, and strengthen the speed of offense and defense conversion. What do the Mavericks' high center forwards who have poor athletic ability want to do?
The more funny Podkorkin, known as "Russian Yao Ming", is only 18 years old this year, but he is full of confidence at the press conference for joining the Mavericks, saying that he will surpass Yao Ming, and said that he is better than Yao Ming at the same age.
However, after reading the news, Guo Xu never remembered that there was such a person in his previous life. His fame was not as good as "Korean Yao Ming". At least he left people the impression that "he has born Yu and Hesheng Town".
The Mavericks also sent power forward Antoine Walker and point guard Delk to the Hawks in exchange for defender Jason Terry and forward Alan Henderson, and obtained a future first-round draft pick for the Hawks.
Afterwards, the Mavericks signed blue-collar center Eric Danpier with the money they should have given Nash, and offered a 7-year, $73 million contract.
Guo Xu's previous life was a very stupid operation in NBA history. It was not until 6 years later that the calf, who had been trapped and covered in bruises, finally had the opportunity to get rid of this burden.
Just because Danpier scored 12+12 data in the Warriors' contract year in the weak team, the Mavericks' management is particularly optimistic about him. According to the contract, Danpier also has an invisible agreement, up to 13 million US dollars, provided that Danpier must meet two conditions before he is eligible to receive this salary.
What are the two conditions? First, Danpier was selected as the All-Star in the six seasons of 2004-2010, and second, Danpier played 70 regular season games next season or played more than 2,100 minutes.
The Mavericks management actually believes that using money to stimulate Danpier may stimulate Danpier's potential and make him an All-Star?
How could he get this money? It's more difficult than an actor earning 30 million in 9 seconds of scenes.
However, when Danpier, who was full of confidence, boldly told the media that he was the second center in the West, and he was obviously confident of becoming an All-Star.
At that press conference, the Mavericks' management and coach also clamored to compete for the championship with the Suns. Last season, Nelson also said that Walker would win a triple-double every game. Everyone thought that just listen to this and don't take it seriously.
After the Mavericks signed with Danpier, the Hawks signed point guard Steve Nash with 60 million in five years, with a contract lower than Guo Xu's previous life. The Mavericks have been abused so badly in the playoffs in recent years. Nash's defense has been criticized and the price has been reduced.
Mavericks boss Cuban doesn't think Nash can help the Mavericks go further, and coach Nelson was very angry about this. He is very optimistic about Nash. According to Nelson, the boss is unwilling to match the Hawks' bid, and there is no point in his talking about this matter.
The Hawks also traded with the Pacers, replacing the swinger Stephen Jackson with power forward Al Harrington. This is a requirement. The Pacers strengthened their weak second position and were ready to compete for the championship, while the Hawks strengthened their inside strength.
The Suns are already the champion team and will not sign Nash even if they have salary space, which makes the Eagles accidentally miss it.
After reading the news, Guo Xu felt that this was a very good destination for Nash and a win-win situation. The biggest winner in the free market this summer is the Hawks, and they may become a big dark horse in the East next season.
As long as the Hawks play a fast counterattack, they are very strong, and Nash is one of the best defenders at launching fast attacks.
Although "Fat Head" Walker is slower, he can shoot three-pointers and plays a guest center in small ball tactics. His style seems to be good with Nash.
This year's rookie Josh Smith and Childries were almost shot accurately, but they had super athletic ability and could make fast attacks; Harrington and Dior were also a forward about two meters tall and could run very well.
The biggest hidden danger for the Hawks is that their head coach is Mike Woodson, who is under Larry Brown, a defensive coach who likes to play positional battles and set up iron barrel formations. If the Hawks have a super mobile lineup next season, Nash may have to cry.
The Hawks also have a super bad contract, which will affect their contract renewal of young players in the future, that is, the "penny" Hardaway, which is rotten in their hands.
Other big-name players in the free market have also become next players.
The Nuggets won Nets power forward Kenyon Martin by signing first and then changing, and the Nets got three future first-round picks from the Nuggets.
Power forward Mike Des, who has hidden injuries, joined the Pistons for 23 million in four years and replaced the runaway Auku; the Pistons also renewed Rashid Wallace for 57 million in five years.
Wang Zhizhi renewed his contract with Celtics for 30 million in 6 years. Last season, he scored beautiful data and reached the peak of his life. The Celtics did not have many choices. They lacked inside players, and both 4 and 5 positions were missing. In the free market, there were also scarce insiders. In the free market this year, Wang Zhizhi was considered a relatively cheap insider because he was strong in offense and weak in defense.
The Warriors renewed their contracts for blue-collar insider Adonal Foyer in 6 years and 42 million. 76ers signed blue-collar insider Brian Skina in 5 years and 25 million. The Nets renewed their contracts for blue-collar center Jason Collins in 5 years and 25 million.
In order to limit free agents, the Bucks have issued a 6-year premium contract of 37 million yuan for blue-collar insider, and the Wizards have even matched it.
Even high jumper Swift signed a five-year, 30 million middle-class contract with the Magic...
Compared to those who can easily find a job for big men, the market for outside players is not that wonderful. Even if Guo Xu leads the team to win the championship and wins a lot of personal honors, people can see the power of a short defender, and there is still a group of small defenders who cannot find a job after becoming a libero, and they can only sign a basic salary if they sign a contract.
The reality is so cruel. The NBA first depends on height and physical fitness. There are only a handful of people who can sign high-paying jobs. Currently, only Guo Xu can get MVP, which makes him even more valuable.
There was also a big news at the end of August. When other teams were trying to sign inside players at a premium, the Lakers were driving the high-quality insiders out, which was shocking.
