Chapter 572 [Rise in advance, and enter a new pit]

There have been several big deals in the NBA free market. Teams that want to compete for the championship must recruit soldiers, otherwise they will not be able to fight against the Suns. Even if Joe Johnson leaves, experts and fans are generally optimistic about the Suns establishing a dynasty.

What they are only in the team's fourth leader, how much impact can it have?

The Kings signed former All-Star power forward Sharif Raheem, and used Bobby Jackson to exchange Bunchi Wells from the Grizzlies, plus the team's star center Brad Miller, star forward Peja Stoyakovic, and the top ten point guard "White Devil" Mike Bibby, with a strong lineup.

In addition, the Kings also have excellent substitutes such as Kevin Martin, Francisco Garcia, Kenny Thomas, and Collis Williams.

Some fans think that the King can compete with the Suns, and more people are not optimistic about the Kings, because the No. 1 position still lacks strong defensive men. As long as they can't defend Guo Xu, they don't want to defeat the Suns.

How important is defense? Just look at the Nets last season. They introduced Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson to form a trident, and Costic, a power forward with shooting range, but they didn't even make the playoffs.

The Cavaliers avoided the huge pit of their previous life and did not pay a high salary to dig defender Larry Hughes. They renewed Carlos Boozer in five years and 55 million, and renewed the contract with "Big Z" Ilgoscas in five years and 55 million.

The Cavaliers also signed forward Donyer Marshall, defenders Damon Jones and Eddie House. These three of them were all building teams around the "Little Emperor" James. His style of playing against the striker is very efficient in one-on-one competition, attracting double-team passes, and teammates who can shoot can play.

Boozer and "Big Z" are tasked with pulling out to cover the guards and helping them run to catch the ball. The two insiders can catch the ball and shoot after the cover, or cut the ball to the basket at the empty cut. One has a comprehensive technology and the other has a height advantage.

The Cavaliers also have veteran point guard Eric Snow, swingman Pavlovic who can shoot three-pointers, big center forward Derlings, etc., and are much stronger than Guo Xu's previous life, so they must rise ahead of schedule.

The Cavaliers' lineup is first-class in the East and will have a chance to reach the finals next season.

Larry Hughes failed to get the Cavaliers' premium contract. He renewed the Wizards for 55 million in 5 years and 50 million yuan. He and Arenas cooperated well. The Wizards were willing to keep him, but they would not give him a big contract.

The Heat are the most popular team in the free market. With Pat Riley's match, the NBA has created the largest transaction in history, involving 13 players from five teams.

The Heat got power forward Antoine Walker from the Celtics, point guard "white chocolate" Jason Williams and swingman James Percy from the Grizzlies.

The Heat lost to the Pacers last season, largely because of the lack of strength at the No. 4 position. They did not renew their contract with Marcus Fizer in the summer. After Baxter lost weight, he was just a blue-collar worker and could not attack.

Although Walker's defensive ability is insufficient, his ability to pull out and shoot can help Wade create breakthrough space and does not overlap with O'Neal's position.

The Heat's flaws are also obvious. The two fat guys are partnering with the inside, so the pick-and-roll defense will definitely be worse, but the Heat no longer have a better choice. The league's stars are scarce inside, and all teams regard big men who can shoot as treasures. Wang Zhizhi signed a big contract because of this, so it would be nice to be able to trade Walker.

As for digging "white chocolate", the Heat were helpless. Damon Jones was unwilling to renew his contract and accepted the Cavaliers' four-year, 15 million small middle-class contract. In addition, substitute point guard Kenyon Dulin was poached by the Magic, and the Heat didn't even have a capable point guard.

Originally, the Heat would sign veteran point guard Gary Payton in the summer, but now Payton is in the Suns. O'Neal is a little bit self-blame. Why did he introduce Payton to the Suns?

Anyone who has watched the Eastern Conference Finals the year before knows that Damon is a defender who has no ability except for three points in open space. He can't organize and break through. He is not like a point guard, but the Cavaliers dare to sign him to disrupt the market.

The Grizzlies got the Heat veteran Eddie Jones, and the four swingers of the top three last season became the top three. Percy and Wells were sent away. Eddie is an excellent defender, Mike Miller and Mike Dunleavy are good at shooting three-pointers.

The Grizzlies retained their core lineup, and at least this deal did not lose money. Eddie's contract expired and he could afford to spend his salary. In the 2006-07 season, Paul Gasol was about to get a high salary.

The Hornets and Jazz also participated in the transaction, and like the Celtics, they were fringing with marginal people and unimportant players in order to clean up garbage contracts or rebuild them.

After renewing a huge five-year contract of 100 million yuan with O'Neal, the Heat team added more players, and their goal is to win the championship next season.

It is worth mentioning that the Celtics adopted the method of signing first and then changing Walker. He first signed a 6-year, $53 million contract with the Celtics. The agent said that the Celtics were very interesting, but it was a bit tragic for the Heat.

Manager Riley is such a person who can quickly earn immediate benefits at the cost of overdrawing the future. Whether it is training players or trading, he does this way.

The Rockets made a deal with the Raptors, and the Rockets sent Mike James to the Raptors in exchange for the King of Street Football Raf Alstom.

The reason why Alstom was traded by the Raptors is very simple. He has a very bad relationship with the team's coach Mitchell and has also had a fight with veteran Jaylen Ross in the locker room. Although he averaged 14.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 6.4 assists last season, the Raptors didn't want such a thorn player, so they traded it to the Rockets.

At this time, many Chinese fans felt that the Rockets had a chance next season, at least they could pass the first round, and the No. 1 position finally didn't look so bad. Experts also believe that Alstom is now a qualified point guard, and he learned a lot from Guo Xu when he was in the Suns.

The Raptors also signed a contract with Spanish point guard Jose Calderon who was not drafted to join the NBA for three years. With Bosh, Ross, Marvin Williams, Peterson and others, Raptors fans also vaguely saw hope.

Raptors fans are just thinking too much, just the Raptors' bad defense, and they will definitely continue to compete for the No. 1 pick next season. The Raptors lack an inside line, and at least Villanueva had a height and weight in his previous life. After changing to Marvin, the frame protection was even worse, and it overlapped with Rose's position.

Ross is a person who cannot trade the Raptors. He is recognized as having high salary and low ability. Even the Rockets are unwilling to trade Zhu Wan Howard for him. Coincidentally, these two are both members of the "Five Michigan Tigers" back then.

After Old Nelson became the Rockets coach, he drove away Ryan Bowen, who had no data. Although this man had defended Nowitzki, his lack of attack power was a waste in Old Nelson's eyes.

The Rockets will not offer a middle-class player to high jumper Swift, avoiding the appearance of a super bad contract. Old Nelson looks down on that brainless guy.

The Rockets signed Nets libero Brian Scala Brian for 5 years and 15 million. This power forward who can shoot and match the appetite of old Nelson, also put the Rockets in a new pit.

In his previous life, this man was nicknamed "White Mamba". He was a magical person in the NBA. He had almost no data. His only specialty was to pull out and shoot. However, he spent 11 seasons in the NBA before retiring, winning a championship ring and entering the finals four times.

Guo Xu has been paying attention to the trading situation and does not think which team can pose a threat to the Suns.
