Super Role Player

When LeBron James announced that he would return to Cleveland, everyone began to speculate about Wade and Bosh's next stop.

Bosh was fiercely pursued by the Houston Rockets. For Chris Bosh, the Rockets even shelved the contract extension with Chandler Parsons, and even Evan Turner was let go for free.

But Chris Bosh has been waiting for LeBron James' choice. Now, LeBron James's choice is also out. LeBron James chose to leave Miami. Now it's Chris Bosh's turn to make a choice.

Before Bosh chose, Wade also did a deep self-thinking. The offer the Bulls gave him made him very excited, but Wade always believed that he had not yet left Miami and went to other teams to hold his thighs. He still believes in his own strength. After LeBron James left Miami, Wade felt that he should stay in Miami and persuaded Bosh to stay. Even without LeBron, they have to prove that they can gain a foothold in the East.

Therefore, Dwyane Wade first reached an agreement with the Heat to renew a two-year, $34 million low-priced contract.

Then Wade began to persuade Bosh to stay in the team.

Wade left plenty of cap space for the Heat, so Pat Riley looked confident when he negotiated a new contract with Bosh.

Various conditions were promised, and Bosh was finally moved by the Heat. He renewed his contract with a five-year, $118 million contract and announced his stay in Miami!

Wade Bosh has stayed on the team, and the Heat have retained a fairly good core lineup, and the next season is still expected.

LeBron James, who returned to Cleveland, has also begun to enter his role.

LeBron James returned to his hometown and said he wanted to make up for the mistakes he had left that year. In fact, he still valued the young Cavaliers and the operability in the transfer market. Once he returned to the Cavaliers, LeBron James entered the team. The status of the manager.

He asked the team’s new general manager David Griffin to trade according to his ideas. Kevin Love of the Western Timberwolves failed to make the playoffs for several consecutive seasons. At this time, he is seeking a transfer. LeBron James will target Aiming at Kevin Love, but if you want to get Kevin Love, the Cavaliers have to pay Andrew Wiggins, the number one pick just selected.

Therefore, such a trade still makes David Griffin quite scratching his head, because he is very optimistic about the potential of Andrew Wiggins, but at this time LeBron James needs more immediate combat power.

For the Cavaliers returning to LeBron James, the most important thing for them now is to give the Cavaliers the ability to directly compete for the championship. Now, the core lineup of the Cavaliers is Kelly Irving and LeBron James. Janway's combination, and for the Cavaliers, if they can be traded to Kevin Love, they are equivalent to re-enacting the Big Three in Cleveland.

And it is likely to be an enhanced version of the Heat Big Three.

Kelly Irving is younger, and Kevin Love is likely to be a better big shooter. In the Timberwolves last season, Kevin Love averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game and made 37.6% three-pointers. A very strong three-point shooter.

And LeBron James' four years in Miami also made many people understand that LeBron James needs teammates, it is best to have a three-point range, so as to perfectly fit LeBron James' own system.

Therefore, if the deal of Andrew Wiggins for Kevin Love can be made, it may be a pretty good deal, which will greatly enhance the existing combat effectiveness of the Cavaliers.

But where David Griffin hesitated lies in the potential of Andrew Wiggins. Before Andrew Wiggins entered the league, a lot of praise flooded him. New LeBron James, new Kevin Durant, new Paul George, in the view of David Griffin, if Andrew Wiggins can realize his potential, then this trade of Wiggins for Kevin Love is likely to be a loss.

But there is no way, LeBron James is here, he can only pay more attention to the immediate interests, as for the future, he can only ignore it.

The general manager of the Timberwolves, David Kahn, is also a manager who has been criticized in major magazines and newspapers in the past two years, because he has received numerous lottery picks in the five seasons of the Timberwolves, but failed to select even a good rookie. Kevin Love is also the wealth left to him by his predecessor Kevin McHale.

In short, although David Kahn is still sitting on the throne of his general manager, the criticism he has received should have caused him to step down long ago.

Now that the team has failed to make the playoffs for three or four consecutive seasons, Kevin Love has the idea of ​​transferring and leaving, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have sent a fairly good offer. In this way, the two teams hit it off and are moving. When the meeting market and the free market are in full swing, the deal is concluded.

In August 2014, US time, Kevin Love's transfer to the Cavaliers entered the final stage.

Anxi, who returned to the United States, also started his summer training. The Sixers’ signings in the transfer market and the free market this season were a bit quiet, except for those completed at the beginning of the transfer market and the free market and Pau Gasol’s. Apart from the renewal and the re-signing of Evan Turner, there will be no more transfer operations.

The Sixers’ main lineup last season included McAway and Sean Livingston at the point guard position, Anxi, James Anderson and Troy Daniels at the shooting guard position, and Jack Lauder and the small forward position. Francisco Garcia, Pau Gasol at the power forward position, and Norens Knoll, Cole Aldridge and Henry Sims at the center position.

Coupled with the draft selection of Joel Embiid and the swingman K.J. McDaniels, as well as the freelance Evan Turner.

Now the 76ers have 14 players in the lineup. Antoine Jamison announced his retirement after winning the championship last season. He did not expect that he would win a championship unexpectedly after his transfer to the 76ers. This championship is for Jamison is a surprise, he directly chose to retire, because after the championship, his career has been completed.

Joel Embiid has already been reimbursed for the season. I think that this season the 76ers will give Joel Embiid an injury exception like last season and will not account for the team's 15 spots.

Therefore, there are still two vacancies available for the 76ers this season. For these two vacancies, the point guard must fill one and the power forward must fill one.

This time is different from last year. The 76ers are the defending champions. Many veterans hope to come to hug their legs and fight for a championship ring in the final stage of their career. The 76ers only need to choose the two most veterans from the many veterans. It is enough to add players suitable for the team.

Therefore, the Sixers' summer league this season did not make serious preparations and treatments, but just let rookie K.J. McDaniels lead and go to the Las Vegas Summer League for a lap.

K.J. McDaniels will be the 76ers' only rookie this season. His performance in the summer league is still supplemented. His physical fitness is very strong and the defensive end is very positive. It is temporarily satisfied with coach Brett Brown.

He will stay on the team and become the fourth substitute on the third position of the team.

Of the current 14 players in the 76ers, only Pau Gasol’s contract is more than 10 million. Anxi’s contract is in the second year of the contract period. Due to the limitation of Arenas’ terms, his salary this season is only 540. Wan, it is a super value contract.

For this reason, the 76ers have a huge cap space, but the 76ers did not pursue those All-Star players, because Samsinki knew very well that at this stage, the 76ers do not need a third All-Star player. The 76ers What people need is more outstanding role players.

Last season, Sean Livingston proved his worth with a coquettish back-and-back shot, so he stayed on the team; James Anderson and Troy Daniels had accurate three-pointers, and they also proved themselves, so they stayed on the team. .

The same is true for Francisco Garcia. His three-pointer is accurate and he is full of outside deterrence. He is a pretty good role player. Not to mention the insider Cole Aldridge, while Henry Sims is more Stayed on the team as an inside supplement.

Evan Turner joined the transfer and he will become the sixth man of the 76ers. Although Evan Turner did not perform well in the Rockets last season, as Turner’s former teammates, Anxi still believes in Evan Turner’s , They believe that Evan Turner will be able to regain his former state after returning to the home team 76ers.

The 76ers' transfer operations have been continuing. They have a lot of cap space. This also makes Samsinki's choices in the free market more diversified. He can choose a free agent that may be expensive. So as to help the 76ers further strengthen the team's bench depth.
