Chapter 931 [Crazy East, Perverted Lineup]
In the draft, the Knicks and the Mavericks immediately completed a big deal involving six players.
The Knicks sent Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton, and the Mavericks received José Calderon, Samuel Delhamport, rookie point guard Sean Larkin, and substitute guard Wayne Ellington. In addition, the Mavericks also sent the No. 34th and No. 51st picks in this year's draft.
Chandler has the last one year left in the current contract, and his annual salary next season is as high as 14.6 million US dollars. The Mavericks signed him to achieve results. Calderon's defense is too bad and must be sent away.
The Mavericks did not renew their contract with Bogut. With Chandler, the inside line would not be too bad.
Bogut wants a big contract, but he has serious injuries and may get injured after playing for more than 20 minutes. Kuban is generous to Nowitzki and has no good impression of the Australian No. 1 pick, especially last season the team has not yet entered the playoffs.
The purpose of "Zen Master" sending away Chandler and Felton was very clear, and he began to rebuild the Knicks. Calderon could add a three-point shooting point, and the guaranteed annual salary of Delham Porter next season is only $1.8 million, which is convenient for buying out, which frees up the Knicks' salary space and adds flexibility.
Jackson hopes to increase Cameron Anthony's confidence in staying in New York through this deal.
The Nets were poached. The Warriors signed substitute point guard Livingston for 16 million in three years and found a substitute for Lowry. Last season, they suffered the loss of not being qualified for the substitute at the No. 1 position.
The Hornets will sign Pacers shooting guard Lance Stephenson on a three-year, $27 million contract.
The Pacers did not leave anyone. Bird believes that Stephenson has a problem with his personality and there is too much uncertainty. He signed a contract with Swingman J Myers for 18 million in 4 years.
In the free market, the Cavaliers became the most popular team. Everyone thought their manager was crazy and actually put Cousins on the shelves.
Although Cousins often draws his brain, he can last season with 22.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks, making him the best center in the league.
As a result, the Cavaliers and the Heat reached a deal, using Cousins + two second-round draft picks to sign and then exchange, and traded the Heat's Chris Bosh.
Bosh has been with the Heat for four years and has not received any honors except being selected for the Star Game, but his data is stable at around 20+8.
The two have similar data, Cousins looks tougher and has potential for young people. Even if Bosh is experienced, it makes people confused. Bosh is not suitable for being the core.
Cousins is a big boy with a straight heart, a bad person, and a bad temper. This is understandable, but it is inevitable that a person will stay away from him when he always maintains this inertial thinking. If he is eating in a stove, it will be a bit difficult to face such a black-faced god every day.
James felt that this kid was not easy to communicate with, and had too many problems. He was not a good second-in-commander, so he simply traded it out. In this way, no one would see Cousins's data were good, so he said that he was more suitable to be the boss of the team than James.
People are laughing at the Cavaliers manager David Griffin. The Cavaliers officially announced the signing of James. Everyone was stunned and Bosh became a good deal.
His contract lasts 2 years and is worth approximately $42.1 million in total, with the second year being the player option, which means he can choose to become a free agent in the summer of 2015.
The Cavaliers were happy that James chose to return, and David Griffin expressed his views.
"There is nothing more joyful for our team than welcoming James back. Yesterday James told us that he wouldn't go anywhere except the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are where he has always wanted to end his career."
With the addition of James, and with Oladipo, Brad Bill, Tristan Thompson, Bosh and others, the Cavaliers have become one of the most powerful contenders for the championship in the new season.
The No. 1 pick Wiggins is not very happy. Is he going to compete with James for a position?
He will definitely not be able to compete with James. If he is not traded, he will probably play as a substitute in the new season. Without enough ball rights, it will affect his future development.
During the draft, experts said that Wiggins had both James' possession and Durant's shooting. He was hailed as the most talented outside player since James and Wang Jun in 2003. As soon as he entered the league and played as a substitute, it was a big blow to him.
The media also exclaimed, how luxurious is this team lineup?
In the free market, several veterans immediately joined the Cavaliers, Sean Marion, James Jones and Mike Miller joined one after another, hoping to win the championship at the end of their careers.
The net team was not willing to be outdone and began to act.
They changed the coach first, "Little General" Johnson did not renew his contract, and Tom Thibodeau signed a three-year contract. Thibodeau's record with the Bulls was average, and the most impressive thing was defense, which was exactly what the Nets lacked the most.
Then, the most incredible signing appeared! The Nets signed Dwyne Wade with $8 million a year!
After Bogut was traded and Bosh was sent away, Wade was willing to cut his salary. As long as the Heat offered a new contract of $50 million to $55 million in four years, he would stay in the team to help the team make room and introduce better helpers.
However, the Heat were not willing to sign a long-term contract with Wade, and just wanted to give him a two-year and thirty million contract. Before that, the Heat signed a contract with libero Lolden, which had two-year and two-year and $20 million.
No one has suspected that Wade might leave the Heat. At the age of 32, he has played in Miami for 11 seasons. The sacrifice he has made for the team is huge, but the sacrifice cannot be exchanged for a long appointment, and the Heat will not give him a chance to be loyal.
Wade is not a fool. When his contract expires in 2016, what contract will the Heat give him when he is 34 years old? Can he and Cousins attract other stars to join?
The Heat have no ambition to win the championship. They are all salary cuts and short appointments, so Wade can't find a reason to stay.
Why didn't he directly join a strong team to compete for the championship? He didn't know what happened after waiting for another two years.
Now there are at least two choices in front of Wade, one is the Cavaliers and the other is the Nets.
After Bosh joined the Cavaliers, Wade made up his mind to join the Nets.
Wade and James have a good relationship, but the Cavaliers don't send Oladipo, Wiggins and Bill, and there is no shortage of offensive points on the outside, so he is not interested in joining in the fun. The media has long analyzed that he and James overlap. If they lose, they will lose both talents.
The Nets' signings are not over yet, and Pierce chooses to renew the Nets' contract for a year with a minimum salary of one year, targeting the championship.
They made a three-party deal with the Grizzlies and the Lakers.
Garnett, who had one year left in the contract, was sent to the Grizzlies, Kevin Love joined the Lakers, and the Nets signed first and then exchanged for Paul Gasol. The three star power forwards exchanged their bosses.
Gasol signed a three-year contract worth $22 million. The Lakers previously offered two contract renewals of two years and $29 million in three years, and Gasol refused.
Gasol has had enough of D'Antoni. He actually let him play as a substitute last season, which is simply sick.
"Money is obviously not a priority," Gasol said. "I rejected a bigger contract. My goal is to find a championship-level team first. I hope I have a position to help the team. Now I have such an opportunity. The next thing I have to do is work hard and do the best things I can do."
After this transaction, the Nets' lineup has become abnormal.
Chapter completed!
