I'm good at basketball too

"Really?"

Li Ran raised his eyebrows, and asked Anthony in front of him in disbelief.

Anthony patted the ball and didn't speak, but Billups next to him took the conversation.

"If it is him, then we are really likely to win the championship this year. He still has a lot of fuel in his tank."

The Nuggets' management seems to be enlightened, and they have actually done a lot of good deals since the offseason.

For example, after listening to Anthony's words, Li Ran was traded.

For example, signing White Chocolate and Szczerbiak, although Uncle Huo has been laid off.

Another example. . .

On December 2008, 12, the Nuggets and the Suns reached a deal.

The Nuggets sent Kenyon Martin, backup center Johan Petro and a trade exception.

The Suns sent Shaquille O'Neal.

After the deal was announced, the league was shaken.

Moreover, various media invariably gave high marks to both teams.

What is the sun famous for?
Desert, oh no, run and bomb.

Nash, the two-time MVP, is the owner of the run-and-gun system. The 7-second quick hit whirlwind swept the world, and everyone remembered the long-haired Canadian son of the wind.

But after O'Neal came last season, although he strengthened the inside, the entire Suns have become nondescript.

Anyway, you gotta give some face to the most dominant center ever, right?

Although the big shark is old, as long as he is given tactics, he can still play a big role.

But giving him tactics means that the team must slow down and play positional battles patiently.

As a result, the team's rhythm can't get up, and Stoudemire's performance is also greatly affected.

Although Stoudemire's position is reported as a power forward, his style of play is also a typical power forward. However, in the peak period of the Suns, Stoudemire played at the fifth position. The big center has a lot of experience.

After O'Neal came, Stoudemire had to move to the fourth position, and the space under the basket was occupied by O'Neal, and he played uncomfortable.

In exchange for Kenyon Martin, it will be different. Kenyon Martin is the orthodox No. 1 position. He can play both inside and outside. He can run and attack. Can contribute more than [-] steal and block.

In addition, the Suns made another deal.

They traded Boris Diaw, Raja Bell and Sean Singletary for Jason Richardson, the team's leading scorer who almost traded for Li Ran, sophomore Jared Dudley and a 2010 second-round pick.

After the two transactions, the Suns' lineup has undergone a major change, which is luxurious and a bit scary.

Nash, Richardson, Grant Hill, Kenyon Martin, Stoudemire.

With the help of the Suns' group of genius doctors, Grant Hill, who has rejuvenated his second spring, is 36 years old, but he can still run and jump. So far this season, he has averaged 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

He just came to the Suns last season and played 70 games, 68 of which were starts, and he was still alive and kicking after one season.

Historically, this season, Grant Hill even played all 82 games, which has to be said to be a miracle.

Although Kenyon Martin's data has declined compared to last season, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is because of less playing time and fewer shots.

And in the sun, it is the most suitable place to brush data.

Don't you see, Joe Johnson and Marion made their names in the Suns.

The Nuggets who got O'Neal are undoubtedly a great reinforcement to their lineup.

The Brazilian center can play the fourth position. With the inside combination of O'Neal + Hilario, the last shortcoming of the Nuggets has also been made up. The hardness of the inside is not a problem at all. Even if O'Neal plays well, come a wave When the old man talks about being a teenager, he can almost tear apart the inside line of any team in the league.

Never doubt O'Neal's ability, even if he is 36 years old this year.

Sharks are old and still eat people.

As for the trade balance, although O'Neal's salary this year is as high as 2100 million, Kenyon Martin's salary is also 1443 million US dollars, even higher than Anthony's. The special deal that Si Shi got was just right.

Anthony's salary this year is 1441 million US dollars, [-] less than Kenyon Martin. . .

O'Neal still has a two-year contract, and Kenyon Martin has a three-year contract. In this way, the Nuggets not only do not suffer losses, but also earn money.

After the trade came to O'Neal, the current salary space of the Nuggets is quite reasonable.

O'Neal 2100 million, Anthony 1441 million, Billups 1105 million, Nene 968 million, JR's 499 million, Li Ran's 180 million, and a bunch of veteran basic salaries and non-guaranteed contracts.

Add up a total of more than 800 million US dollars.

What is the salary cap for the league this year? $5868 million.

How much is the luxury tax threshold? $6786.5 million.

The Nuggets are standing and strengthening the lineup.

For comparison, the highest salary among all teams this year is the well-known New York Knicks, which is as high as more than 9800 million US dollars, but this is mainly due to their former head coach and manager, the legendary "Smiling Assassin" Isiah Thomas , as a special case, let them stay in the mud pit first.

Further down are the Cavaliers, Mavericks, Lakers, and Celtics. These are all teams that aspire to win the championship.

The Nuggets are only ranked No.12, even under the budget-conscious Mosaic.

However, the Nuggets' current lineup just doesn't feel like a lineup with less than 7000 million.

In the final analysis, Li Ran's current performance can be placed on an insider casually. According to the current situation in the league where good insiders can't be met, it is not too much to give a maximum salary, right?
That's 2000 million out.

However, Li Ran is still in his first year as a rookie, and his annual salary is only 180 million. . .

O'Neal came very quickly, maybe the Sharks have gotten used to the days of switching between various teams in recent years.

Li Ran came out to pick up O'Neill. Although there were staff in charge, George Karl released Li Ran to show respect.

Seeing O'Neill, who was huge and incomparable, get off from his special car, although he still had a funny smile on his face, Li Ran didn't find it funny at all.

He seems to have seen a great wild beast, put away its fangs, and is sleeping in his twilight years.

"Li Ran, I know you. I've noticed you for a long time." After O'Neill got down, he walked up to Li Ran familiarly and patted him on the shoulder.

Then, he put his arms around Li Ran's arm and walked towards the arena.

"Phoenix is ​​really not for me, I don't like the dry weather, and the donuts they make there are not good."

Listening to the chattering O'Neill pushing Lai Lai all the way to the arena, Li Ran had a headache.

Why is this bastard talking so much?

The Nuggets didn't talk a lot, Billups, Anthony, Li Ran, including Hilario.

Slowly, the image of the prehistoric beast in Li Ran's mind began to change.

From the blue-faced fangs at the beginning, it turned into an iron-eating beast.

Chi You used to fight on this thing.

Oh, he also has a name, Panda. . .
