NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

Durant's explanation also sounds a little pale, if it is not because the signing fee is very high, he certainly would not have signed with Nike.

Although everyone knows this very well, but now everyone chooses who to sign is his own choice.

Nike finally temporarily transferred the firepower to Durant, and Andy was also relieved.

But having said that, if he was scolded for more than 30 million yuan, it seems that Durant is not at a loss.

Of course, Nike also knows that if Durant continues to rush ahead, I'm afraid it won't last long.

So they contacted Warcraft Howard for the first time.

Howard is just 26 years old this year and is at his peak.

In the 0809 season, he won 59 wins, only one win away from the team's best record in history, and single-handedly took the team to the finals.

But because Howard is too young, and there is no corresponding teammates to help her, she finally lost 1:4 at the feet of the Lakers.

But that season Howard's popularity can be said to have reached the peak, but also was elected the king of votes in the All-Star Game.

And in the slam dunk contest that year also won the slam dunk contest - champion.

In the 0910 season, Howard averaged 13 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game, becoming the league's rebounding king and block king.

And Howard became the league's best defensive player, these honors also gave him a sense of air.

Think of himself as the best athlete and basketball superstar in history, only one NBA championship away in the end.

Howard scored 66 double-doubles last season, including 6 games, with 20 points and 20 rebounds, which is very strong.

Even Dayao's numbers pale in comparison to Howard's.

Of course, there are also reasons for Lin Lei and Kobe Bryant.

After all, the Lakers mainly use Lin Lei and Kobe as their tactical core, and Dayao's playing time is also limited to a certain extent.

But Howard's growth is really shocking.

When the NBA announced the league's best defensive player this year, Howard thought it would be himself, but he didn't expect this award to be given by Lin Lei, which also made Howard feel very annoyed.

At the same time, he was very uncomfortable that the team failed to win the championship or even reach the finals.

For this, Howard directly told the team that he hoped to strengthen in the new season.

But the Magic are not easy to mess with the main.

They treat players very harshly, which can be seen from O'Neal back then.

So even a player as strong as O'Neal didn't end well in the Magic, let alone Howard.

The Magic have spent a lot of money in order to win the championship, so they don't have much action in the new season.

There are also great contradictions on the issue of contract renewal with Howard, and the last year is Howard's player option.

The Magic hope to reach a five-year, $80 million extension with Howard.

Although this price seems to be the top of the league, in fact, Howard can sign a 5-year 100 million contract.

If he jumps out of the contract and signs as a free agent, he can also win a four-year contract of around 90 million.

So how to count the Magic's contract will not have much sincerity.

•••**••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Because of this, many teams in the league have already begun to work in secret.

They hope to complete the contract with Howard, and the offer is also very high.

Even the Rockets offered a four-year, $85 million contract.

This contract is actually very sincere, and the market for the Rockets is also huge. In addition, Jeremy Lin, if coupled with a few high-quality shooters, the Rockets still have a place in the West.

However, Howard hesitated in the process.

What he wants now is the championship, but from the current situation, there are only a few competitive teams in the West.

.....0...

Like the Los Angeles Clippers, including the Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks.

These teams have no shortage of players on the inside.

For example, the Clippers have two giants, Jordan and Griffin.

Not to mention the Spurs, Tim Duncan sits in the paint, but also makes Howard seem to be of little use.

As for the Dallas Mavericks, although they look very rich, their lineup is relatively old. They played well last season, but this season's lineup has been dismantled.

So after thinking about it, Howard made a decision, or to be able to have a place in the East, at least have a chance to reach the finals.

As long as it is in the finals, it is a desperate fight, and maybe there is still a chance.

But there are strengths in the eastern team. For example, the Heat already have James, Chris Bosh and Wade, and there will be no place left for him.

As for the Celtics' roster this season, it's just too old.

And they won't be bringing in a strong big man, and other teams don't seem to have much chance of getting killed.
