Chapter II Transactions (2)
The summer transactions are still going on.
On July 4, Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki reached an oral agreement with the Mavericks on a four-year contract extension, of which the guaranteed amount of the contract reached US$80 million.
On July 5, free agent Joe Johnson, who refused to sign with the Knicks, declared his client would stay with the Atlanta Hawks, who signed a huge six-year contract of about $119 million.
On July 7th, important news about summer appears!
Wade and Bosh decided to join the Heat together!
Wade stayed with the Heat, and with Bosh's joining, the Heat have the strength to enter the championship ranks.
On July 8, Kevin Durant updated his Twitter account, saying: "Complete a five-year contract extension with the Thunder..."
According to previous reports, the Thunder is likely to renew Durant's contract with a maximum salary of 5 years, with a specific amount of about 85 million US dollars in five years.
On the same day, Boozer agreed to reach a new five-year contract with the Bulls with a total of $80 million. The Bulls are expected to fight for another maximum salary. It is reported that the Bulls may use this to change the team's disadvantage in the Lebron James battle.
Yes, the Bulls are also eyeing LeBron James.
On the same day, the Celtics completed a two-year contract extension with the team's free agent Ray Allen, with an annual salary of $10 million.
The next day, Jermaine O'Neal had agreed to sign a contract with the Celtics, with a contract of about 2 years and $12 million.
The Celtics' reinforcement strength shocked the entire East. With Sir Xiao joining, the Celtics also signed O'Neal Jr. This strength is really amazing.
However, some experts believe that the Celtics have some problems in strengthening direction. Now that the Eastern Conference team wants to break through to the Eastern Conference, the final opponent will be the Knicks. It is not enough to deal with the Knicks. The Lakers' lineup is big enough, and they are not as powerful as being beaten by the Knicks.
On July 9th, the most important news in summer appears!
LeBron James announced his final choice on espn's show: Heat!
When mentioning his decision, LeBron emphasized that he had not made the final decision until this morning local time, he finally made the decision. LeBron also thanked Cleveland, Ohio, for the memories he brought to him during the interview.
"Fake!"
Donny Walsh, who was sitting in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast, cursed fiercely and reached out to raise the cup in his hand, but James Dolan and Zhou Mubai were right next to him, so he could only put the cup back on the table.
"I……"
Donny Walsh opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He really couldn't explain it. James originally promised him that as long as he traded Zhou Mubai to the Knicks, he would definitely consider the Knicks first.
Donny Walsh was very confident about this and was also confident about James Dolan, saying that he would definitely bring James to the Knicks, and even bring S or Bosh with him. Not only is Bosh missing, but James also announced that he had gone to the Heat. He didn't know how to explain to James Dolan right now.
James Dolan frowned and remained silent. After a while, he looked at Zhou Mubai.
"Zhou, I'm sorry!"
Zhou Mubai Zhanyan smiled and said, "Why do you say sorry to me?"
James Dolan said: "I should find you a better helper, but..."
Donny Walsh is a little nervous. The team needs the most to please Zhou Mubai now. Zhou Mubai is the Knicks' well-deserved soul. Although Zhou Mubai still has two years of contract, for such a superstar, if he insists on a trade, the team will not be able to keep it.
Now the Heat have formed the three giants James, Wade and Bosh, and the Celtics have made great efforts to strengthen them. Now the Celtics can barely be called the Big Five, Pierce, Garnett, Ray Allen, Sir Jr., O'Neal Jr., Rondo, Perkins, etc. Such a lineup is simply scary.
On the other hand, the Knicks signed Channing Fry before that. Although Fry was good, he couldn't even say he was a star.
The Knicks are not the Knicks who were trapped in the quagmire before. The Knicks are already the defending champion of the new season. The Knicks are so rich and have a lot of salary space. They can't recruit stars to join in this way. Not to mention Zhou Mubai, even he feels too incompetent.
Zhou Mubai just smiled and said, "Have you signed the contract with Korver?"
Donny Walsh said with a sigh of relief: "Signed, a three-year contract worth 15 million."
Korver was named by Zhou Mubai. He was the best three-point shooter in the NBA last season, with a shooting percentage of 53.6%, and he averaged 7.2 points per game.
Although he signed Fry and Korver who Zhou Mubai called for, Donny Walsh still felt that he was still incompetent. Fry and Korver were just small roles, and winning such a player would not have any sense of accomplishment for him.
In addition, Larry Hughes announced his retirement after winning the championship, Nate Robinson went to the Celtics to get a good contract, while Harrington was poached by the Nuggets.
Zhou Mubai nodded: "Where is Tony Allen?"
Donny Walsh was a little embarrassed: "His agent, Leo, spoke up. They wanted a three-year, 15 million contract. I don't think he deserves the price."
Zhou Mubai looked at James Dolan.
James Dolan immediately spoke, "It's very important?"
Zhou Mubai nodded: "We have many people who can attack, but few people who can defend, so we need such a defensive vanguard."
James Dolan nodded decisively: "That's going to be!"
Zhou Mubai nodded: "You can talk about the price, it will be reduced if you think 10 million yuan. By the way, I'll call him."
Zhou Mubai picked up his cell phone and dialed it out. Of course, the number he asked Tony Allen for before. When he was playing against the Celtics, he admired Tony Allen's energy, which was exactly what the Knicks lacked.
"Tony, I, Zhou Mubai!"
"Oh, Zhou, what's the matter?"
"I have talked with my boss to join the Knicks, and it's 10 million in three years."
“…”
"Don't want to?"
"No, Zhou, I was just flattered and was so surprised that I couldn't speak. Actually, I was considering the Memphis Grizzlies before that. They were very sincere. I had already planned to go..."
Zhou Mubai smiled without saying a word.
"...but you call me in person, and I'll get you anyway."
Zhou Mubai smiled and said, "Okay, come to New York immediately. I will ask someone to arrange for you to sign a contract for a physical examination. Do you need me to say hello to your agent?"
