Chapter 373 Crazy Offseason

Chapter 367

With Gobert's four-year, $800 million contract extension, the Knicks have basically maintained the integrity of the lineup!
On the second day after Gobert renewed his contract, the Warriors also released news that Durant and the Warriors re-signed a 1+1 contract...

This contract represents that Durant will definitely stay in the Warriors in the next season. The Knicks and Warriors will compete for hegemony, at least next season will not be broken!
The news of Durant's contract extension was basically expected...

Because apart from the Warriors, Durant really has nowhere to go right now...

Back to Thunder?That's absolutely impossible, let's not talk about Durant's embarrassment to go back. When the trading market just opened, the Thunder exchanged chips for the Pacers' leader George. Looking at this posture, they estimated the future season Very much the idea of ​​​​impacting the Warriors' Western hegemony!

First, after the Thunder broke out a big deal in exchange for George, the Rockets, a veteran team in the West, also made a big move...

This time it's a really big move. Morey has called for so many years of big moves, and this time it's finally taking shape...

They picked Zhou Qi, a super inside player from China, in the draft...

Well, this is Morey's big move...

In addition, Morey made another huge move of 7 for 1, and got the Clippers' head Chris Paul into the Rockets!
When this deal was completed, the entire league was shocked. Judging by the Rockets' posture, it was really going to threaten the Warriors' status as the hegemon in the Western Conference!

It can be said that the competition in the West this season will be extremely fierce. From the perspective of book strength, there are four teams whose strength can reach the league's first-tier level!

They are the Warriors, Spurs, Rockets and Thunder.

In fact, the storm in the trading market in the east is also extremely astonishing!
First up is the knight...

No one expected that just after the finals and the official end of the season, Irving immediately announced that he did not want to stay with the Cavaliers...

You must know that there are still two years left in Irving's contract. If he reveals such an idea, he is already forcing the team management to trade himself!

Generally, the team management has no choice but to meet the player's trading needs if the general player is forced into the palace!
As for the reason, because the players have absolute initiative in this kind of thing!

I want to leave, no deal? !Well, I'm messing around in the team, I don't work hard on the court, or I frantically collect statistics alone, or I don't let me appear on the field, or I won't let you win...

I have to say that in this situation, the team is also suffering...

In most cases, the team can only meet the requirements of these players as much as possible!
This is why the team generally does not have conflicts with the stars, because if there is a conflict, no matter whether the stars suffer or not, the team will definitely suffer anyway!

When Lei Feng signed a four-year contract with the Knicks, many teams knew that the Knicks would definitely not be able to trade Lei Feng, but they still had a glimmer of hope for Lei Feng!
The reason is that players have the initiative in this kind of thing!
As long as Lei Feng wants to leave, Nix has no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it...

……

Of course, since Irving is determined to leave, the Cavaliers will naturally give full play to Irving's maximum value. They made a deal with the veteran Eastern team Green Kai, sent Irving away, and then got Thomas Jr. and Crowe from Green Kai. Germany, Zizic and the Nets' 2018 first-round pick and other high-quality chips...

When the deal broke out, many fans were dumbfounded. They immediately felt that Lu Kai was stupid. Is it not enough for Thomas Jr. to change Irving?Even with a high-quality striker 3D player like Crowder? !
The most important thing is that there is still the Nets' first-round pick for next year!
You must know that a garbage team like the Nets will basically have the bottom three in the league in terms of winning percentage. It is not difficult for them to be the bottom one...

Under such circumstances, one can imagine the preciousness of the Nets' draft picks!
If there is no accident, as long as the luck is not so bad, it is not impossible to draw the top three picks in the draft, and it is even possible to draw the top pick!
No matter how you look at it, Lu Kai's deal is a loss...

Because just a little Thomas is fully qualified to trade Owen alone!
You must know that in the season that just ended, he played a crazy stat of 29+6 per game!
In the regular season MVP selection, the top three are Lei Feng, Westbrook and Harden, No. 4 is Durant, No. 5 is James, and No. 6 is Thomas Jr.!
Can be shortlisted for the same award with Lei Feng, Harden, Durant and other players!

It is conceivable that Thomas Jr.'s strength is not blown out...

And now no one knows what Green Kai is doing, not to mention sending away Thomas Jr., but also taking out Crowder and the Nets' first-round pick. Countless fans feel that Angie, who is scheming, has miscalculated this time!
And within a few days, Lukai made another shocking deal, announcing the signing of the former Jazz leader Hayward...

For a time, the overall strength of Lukai's team was favored by countless people!

You must know that there are three All-Star players in the team, Horford, Hayward and Irving, and the newcomers in the team are all high-ranked talented newcomers. Their lineup strength has become the second only to the Knicks in the East. !

Of course, from the perspective of book strength, the Cavaliers have not declined much...

……

A series of large-scale transactions were revealed, and the fans were naturally ecstatic. The new season will definitely become extremely exciting!

Especially the Lukay team, which makes people have infinite reverie. Can a team like them create miracles? !

The miracle mentioned here is naturally to pull down the Knicks who have won two consecutive championships!
The Knicks have won two consecutive championships. If they continue to win next season, they will build the second dynasty team in the 21st century after the Lakers!
Even to be precise, in fact, the last Lakers dynasty cannot be regarded as a matter of the 21st century, because their first championship started in the 1999-2000 season...

Therefore, if the Knicks win the championship next, they will become the first dynasty team in the 21st century!
Those neutral fans are actually very contradictory!

On the one hand, I want to see the Knicks establish a dynasty and witness the birth of a dynasty with my own eyes. This is an extremely unforgettable memory of a fan's watching career!

On the other hand, fans want to see a team that can challenge the Knicks, defeat it in an upset, and create a miracle. After all, this kind of miracle is what fans are very happy to see!

Amidst the contradictions, fans are looking forward to the start of the new season infinitely!
