Chapter 717 [The Spurs plan to fight with the sun]
No matter how strong the Suns are, some teams want to compete with them and keep recruiting soldiers.
For example, teams such as the Spurs, Cavaliers, Eagles, and Mavericks do not want to see the Suns win four consecutive championships and create history.
Some teams have also begun to rebuild and send away those in the team who don’t want to renew their contracts with high salaries, just like the Suns sending away Josh Howard, they will "assist" strong teams who want to fight immediately.
The Bucks sent starting point guard TJ Ford to the Trail Blazers, getting power forward Villanueva and some cash.
The Trail Blazers are obviously the ones who benefited from this deal. They can examine Ford, who has hidden dangers of injury. If he doesn't play well after a season, he can choose not to renew his contract. It doesn't matter if he sends Villanueva, there is no place for him in the team.
Milicic has good physical fitness. After practicing for two years, he gradually gained confidence, averaging 15.7 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. After the Trail Blazers selected Aldridge, Villanueva's position became very embarrassing.
The Trail Blazers exchanged Ford to replace the "Flying Mouse" Damon Stadameer, who chose to cut his salary significantly after the big contract expired and joined the Cavaliers for 10 million in three years.
With Ford, the Trail Blazers can avoid the huge pit of Steve Francis when they have traded. The Trail Blazers in the Parallel World have Zach Randolph. In 2007, they exchanged Randolph for Channing Fry and Francis, and then spent 34 million to lay off Francis, which made people wonder what they were thinking, just to ask for Fry?
There are no garbage contracts on the Trail Blazers now, so they don’t have to waste money, but they don’t have Brandon Roy, and they lack qualified outside cores.
Bulls traded Hornets PJ Brown and JR Smith with center Tyson Chandler.
They still sent the "boxing champion" away. The management felt that Chandler had a high salary and low ability, but the Bulls did not poach Ben Wallace because they had no salary space. There was a high salary Jason Richardson in the team. The purpose of this deal was to clear up the salary space. Brown's contract expired in one year, so I would use it.
The Clippers and Radmanovic and Kassel renewed their contracts, both contracts are low, and they have high salary and low ability. The Lakers did not dig the Clippers. After they renewed the contract with Caron Butler, they had no salary space and could not dig. If the "ski man" didn't come, the Lakers could have escaped the disaster.
The Raptors left Mike James, and the Pistons left center Ben Wallace.
"Soul of Team" found that no team was willing to offer a high salary and long contract for him, so he was forced to agree to the Pistons' quotation of 48 million in four years. At least he was loved by fans, and everyone felt that he had made great contributions to winning the game.
In fact, in parallel worlds, it doesn't matter if the Pistons are missing the Big Boss. They ranked first in the Eastern Conference with 53 wins in the 2006-07 season, and slightly inferior to the Big Three Celtics in the 2007-08 season, and ranked second in the Eastern Conference with 59 wins. They also reached the Eastern Conference Finals in a row, and they became weak teams until the team exchanged for Iverson.
The Bulls who dug Ben Wallace with a high salary were immediately cheated to death. A year later, in order to throw away the burden of Big Ben, they were even willing to accept the garbage contract of the Cavaliers Larry Hughes and play three-back attack from the outside.
Today, Life has not won the championship, and the big book is not so powerful, and fate has changed.
The 76ers wanted to straighten Iguodala as the core and traded the leading stars Iverson Granger and Iguodala. Salmons' positions overlap, and it would be ruined if it stayed, and it would take only a few minutes to play.
The 76ers chose to trade with the Nuggets, and the management asked Iverson to provide some rosters of teams that they were willing to play for. Iverson chose the Timberwolves and the Nuggets.
The Timberwolves had no bargaining chips to impress the Sixers, while the Nuggets were willing to take out Andre Miller, Joe Smith and two first-round draft picks, and the deal was successfully reached.
The two draft picks are in line with the reconstruction plan of the 76ers. Their main goal next season is to train new players, not care about their record, and with Miller at the No. 1 position, it will not be unavailable.
The Nuggets got a star defender. After they formed the "Golden Double Gun", the media blew up a wave. Experts believe that the Nuggets' lineup has become very strong, with stars inside and outside. As long as the Nei can return to the previous season's form, the Nuggets are expected to compete with the Suns next season.
They are indeed not inferior to any team in the card lineup. They have Cambi, Nene, and Martin in the interior, and have rich experience in the playoffs; Nahura, Demar Johnson, Creza, and Anthony in the front line, and have great potential; Iverson and Boykins in the defenders, and two small men who are good at breaking through, have super attack power.
The Nuggets also exchanged Howard Esley and two second-round draft picks for JR Smith from the Bulls, strengthening the weakest No. 2 position. The Bulls have many outside scorers and cannot use JR, which is cheaper for the Nuggets. The price they paid was not high, and sending Esley away was equivalent to cleaning up the garbage contract.
Guo Xu doesn't think the Nuggets are very strong. This team lacks organizers. The overall chemistry of the team is the key to winning. The "golden double gun" style ball will definitely not work, just two stars play singles.
Competing against the Suns? The Nuggets' lineup is no different from the parallel world, and they can't even get through the first round. The Nuggets still lack wing defense experts. Nene and Martin are better at defending the inside, but they have the attributes of glass men.
In this team, the only person Guo Xu had considered being a teammate was JR Smith, and the price for him was very small. When he was young, Smith was super qualities, could break through and shoot, and could be the best sixth man in the team. Later, he gave up. There were too many people in the team and couldn't cultivate it. How could Smith's "nervous knife" compare to "Huang Mamba" Roy? He should not do the ball right.
What really made Guo Xu feel threatened was the Spurs. They made a small deal to strengthen the wings, using the 29th rookie point guard Sergio Rodriguez in the first round and the rookie inside Damir Markta in the second round, and the 76ers' marginal small forward Danny Granger.
Guo Xu really convinced the management of the 76ers, and he was simply **. Granger did not have any chance to play last season, and he averaged only 6 minutes per game. The data looked very garbage, but that was because the 76ers had too many swayers. He was a high-ranking rookie, so how could he give it to the Spurs casually?
As long as Granger has the right tactical system, he has the potential to become a star. He shoots accurately in mid- and long distances and has excellent defense. His disadvantage is that he has a poor overall view and poor ability to break points, so he is not suitable to be the boss.
The 76ers' management gave Granger to the Spurs in order to strengthen the weakest position. Rodriguez is a Spanish genius point guard, known as the "Spanish Magic" and "Spanish Chocolate". However, they misjudged Granger's potential and will definitely regret it in the future.
Granger's partner with Iguodala is much better than staying with Salmons and Korver. However, no one will trade Korver when the 76ers sent him away. He shot 42% from three-pointers last season and averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game.
Because of Guo Xu, the small ball era came early, and players like Korver have become very valuable, and many fast-paced teams have begun to vigorously train shooters.
Perhaps in order to muddle the waters of the West and not want to see the Suns dominate, the Raptors also "assisted" the Spurs and exchanged Matt Bonner, Eric Williams and the second round draft pick in 2009 for Spurs center Rasu Nestrovic.
This is the assist. Nabonna loses even if he replaces it alone, let alone the draft pick? The 30-year-old Nestrovic currently has half of his six-year, $45 million contract.
Finally, the Spurs also signed libero point guard Spedy Clarkston with a minimum salary. He has played for the Spurs and is able to defend Guo Xu very quickly.
