I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 393 Min Congda's Suggestion (Third Change)

The accidental death of Donaghy brought the NBA lockout to a swift end, and each team accelerated recruitment, signing and trading in order to prepare for the new season before January 1.

The investigation into Donaghy's murder was in limbo, with the FBI and Pennsylvania State Police investigating for two weeks with no conclusions about the killer.

There were only a few sporadic clues, indicating that the murderer was a very professional shooter, leaving almost no valuable evidence, and the scene was handled very cleanly.

The police suspected that Donaghy's death was related to the mafia. When Donaghy was serving his sentence in prison, he was often threatened and attacked by the mafia, but Donaghy chose to calm down.

After all, the gambling industry he participated in is directly related to the famous New York mafia family, the Gambino family.

Offending the alliance means losing their jobs and going to jail. If they completely offend the Gambino family, they may disappear in this world.

Well now, Donaghy has really disappeared, but no one knows exactly why.

His death has become an unsolved case, just like Lorenzen Wright, it is difficult to have a result in a short time.

The United States has the largest number of murders every year in the world, and the police don't have so much time to investigate each one clearly.

In some people's eyes, Donaghy died a worthy death, and the league will not pursue this matter carefully.

As for Donaghy's closest family member, his wife had chosen to divorce him as early as 07, and Donaghy was a loner.

When the attention of public opinion gradually faded, everyone gradually forgot about him, and everyone's focus returned to the NBA arena.

Because the time is short, each team has no time to make any big moves in the transaction.

The operation that is done the most is that the teams are working overtime and desperately signing free agents.

In the past, when it started in July, there was a free market that could be considered throughout the summer, but it was suddenly reduced to one month.

Unlike last year's free market, where big fish were signed one after another, this year's free market is short and there are few big fish.

Originally the biggest fish was Carmelo Anthony, who could opt out of his contract in 2011 and test the free market.

However, in the trade between the Nuggets and the Knicks last season, in order to protect his own interests, Anthony chose to jump out of the previous 5-year 8000 million contract and renew a 3-year 6420 million contract with the Nuggets.

Then, trade with the Knicks again, and execute this 3-year 6420 million contract after arriving at the Knicks.

While guaranteeing the salary income of the contract for the past three years, it also gave me the flexibility to move freely after three years.

It has to be said that these superstars and his agent team have calculated clearly in this regard.

After all, it was a transaction worth tens of millions of dollars, so there were so many issues to consider.

Without Anthony, the big names whose contracts expire are Duncan and Parker.

These two core Spurs players will not test the free market when their contracts expire.

The Spurs renewed the contract with them early, and it took another three years of mending.

Next, the biggest player is Marc Gasol.

After Min Congda matched the Rockets' offer, Gasol Jr. stayed with the Clippers as he wished.

Otherwise, this year's free agency has been relatively lackluster.

There are no superstars who can change the fate of a team. They are all ordinary strength or high-quality role players.

They are unattractive for a team in need of rebuilding.

But for a team aspiring to a championship next season, these players are very important.

After getting Gasol's contract, Min Congda found an opportunity to secretly call James.

James was delighted when he received a call from Min Congda, who said he was training hard at his home in Cleveland.

Min Congda said: "Don't practice for now, you should pay attention to the free market, and urge your Cavaliers management to take down Sean Battier as soon as possible!"

Min Congda had already said to James that winning Shane Battier early would definitely be beneficial to the team's championship.

It's a pity that the Cavaliers dunked and searched, unwilling to trade the draft pick with the Rockets, and Battier was taken away by the Heat.

In the Eastern Conference finals, Battier caused huge problems for the Cavaliers.

Not only can he defend James one-on-one in defense, but his three-pointers on the outside are even more threatening.

The Cavaliers had a chance to settle the battle in Game [-] and advance to the Finals.

As a result, Battier reversed the situation with two three-pointers at the last moment of the sixth game and dragged into the tie-break.

If it weren't for the tie-breaker, Kirk Hinrich successfully contained Wade, the winner of the Eastern Conference is really unknown.

Hinrich, Camby, and Battier, two of them were given to the Cavaliers by Min Congda, and one was given to the Cavaliers by him to remind the Cavaliers to win.

Facts have proved that everyone is a key player. If Battier is in the Cavaliers, the Eastern Conference Finals will definitely be resolved in 6 games.

In the finals, the Cavaliers would not lose so embarrassingly, being helplessly defended by the Mavericks.

James said: "I have already mentioned it to the management, and I am trying my best, but I am hesitating whether to give a two-year or three-year contract."

"Fool, of course it is for three years! Even if he can't play for three years, he should give him three years to show his sincerity. The Heat have already taken the lead, and they can give the contract you can give. Then your advantage is Where? One is sincerity, and the other is the temptation of the championship. I am still hesitating for two or three years. What are you thinking, seize the opportunity and call Battier as soon as possible!"

When Min Congda reminded him, James felt that what he said made sense.

The Heat traded for Battier last year and have already seized the opportunity.

If you don't show enough sincerity in the signing, who would want to come to a place like Cleveland?
Mike Miller is willing to come over and sign a middle class, all because of James' face.

Last season, although James lost the finals, he still earned respect overall.

Being able to reach the finals twice in Cleveland is not something ordinary people can do.

Being able to reach the finals can be regarded as a relatively successful season.

The most important thing is that, as a team in the finals, they actually won the No. [-] lottery.

Kyrie Irving is a very talented player.

The Cavaliers believe that with Kyrie Irving, James will stay with the Cavaliers for a long time and maintain a strong championship competitiveness in the next five years.

"Mr. Smart, besides the lineup, do you have any suggestions for my personal ability? I am considering improving my back-up ability recently."

"It is true that you need to improve your post-up ability, but what you need to improve most is your shooting ability. Look at how you were defended by the zone defense in the finals. If I go up, I can score!"

Because of James' lack of shooting ability, he was indeed embarrassed in the finals.

"I know, but shooting requires some talent, and I'm always almost mean."

"Then you have to figure out your own way... By the way, let your team hire a shooting coach. Our Clippers seem to have a shooting coach too."

It was not Min Congda's idea for the Clippers to hire a shooting coach, but Jeff Ball's. He thinks shooting is very important.

Out of respect for Fengchu, Min Congda agreed to Ball's proposal, and then paid the shooting coach a high salary.

Anyway, the Clippers are well paid from players to coaches to employees.

James agreed, and the anxiety in his heart eased a lot.

Losing the finals still has a lot of psychological impact on James.

Of course, getting in is better than not getting in.

Under Min Congda's guidance, the knight progressed smoothly.

Everything is going in a good direction.

It's just that James still can't understand why he, the general manager of the Clippers, always looks towards himself and the Cavaliers?
