Super Small Forward

Time flies quickly, Liu Ren is looking for fun in the repeated training every day, and another month has passed by.

An interesting thing happened in the league during this period.

On June 30th, the Clippers were successfully auctioned off, and they were taken down by a colleague of the Blazers’ local boss, a Microsoft shareholder, and New York’s super-rich tycoon Ballmer for a record of $2 billion in NBA transactions.

Sterling's struggle became useless, and the court ruled that he had no autonomous capacity and declared the transaction legal.

But at this time, the Clippers' heartbreaking thing appeared, and Jordan's contract expired! On July 1st, the free market was opened, and Cuban sent out a four-year contract of 90 million yuan, successfully acquiring Jordan.

However, the alliance has a rule that the transaction cannot be officially concluded until July 8th, after the one-week transaction buffer period is over. However, Cuban was too confident, and reached an oral agreement with Jordan and did not sign a formal contract.

The Clippers team who heard the news went to Jordan's hometown in Dallas to block the door, not let Jordan go out, and successfully persuaded Jordan to return to the Clippers!

Cuban went crazy, which player in the league will go back after reaching an agreement? Only Boozer, who used to be the Cavaliers, had a miserable end. No team would believe his promise. After the season just ended, the Bulls pardoned him. So far no team wants to claim him. .

NBA is so big, the credibility of a person and a team is very important.

So Cuban didn’t expect that little Jordan would go back, and he just talked to little Jordan on the phone and never met. He didn’t even know where little Jordan’s house was, so he could only drive around in the wealthy villa districts of Dallas. Made the headlines of major news.

It is said that the Nets owner is a Russian tyrant. In fact, there are NBA bosses who are much richer than him. The pioneer is one. Now the new owner of the Clippers is more than double the assets of the Russian tyrant!

Ballmer is quite a local tyrant and let Rivers spend whatever he wants, as long as he can win the championship. Rivers gave Jordan a five-year contract of 110 million yuan, plus the team owner has changed, and there is cooperation. Paul and Griffin, who have had a tacit understanding for many years, have a much stronger lineup than the Mavericks. Coupled with the fact that the Clippers have all gone to his home, he signed a contract with the Clippers halfway through.

The signed contract and verbal promise are of course valid! By the early morning of July 8th, the Alliance definitely recognized the signed contract and announced that Jordan will renew the Clippers for 5 years and 110 million!

This incident added a touch of fun to the boring long grass period. People don't care about where little Jordan is going. What they care about is that the process is so fun, and Cuban has become the protagonist of the tragedy.

Liu Ren knew about Jordan’s return to the Clippers for a long time, and he didn’t care anymore. Jordan’s greatest strength is only rebounding. In addition to blocking shots, the defense is a bit deterrent. In fact, the overall defense is very average. It's just that there are too few well-skilled centers in the league now that he appears to be defensively well, not to mention the offense, obviously Whiteside will be stronger in the future.

The official free market was opened, and all teams started to operate officially.

The first is the Heat and the Knicks.

Wade announced that he would stay in the Heat with a substantial salary cut of 30 million in two years, expressing his willingness to cut the salary to give James and Bosh a larger contract extension.

James remained silent on this, and Bosh started a trip to discuss up to ten teams.

Anthony agreed to stay with the Knicks under the persuasion of the Zen master, and renewed his contract with a five-year contract of 120 million. He played four years longer than Jordan, and the contract was relatively large.

On July 11, the Warriors announced that their record had not met expectations before they fired Mark Jackson, and Suns general manager Steve Kerr became their new head coach.

On July 12, the Knicks president, Phil Jackson, fired the current head coach Mike Woodson, and Derek Fisher became the new head coach of the Knicks with a three-year, 5 million contract.

On July 13, James rejected the 5-year 120 million contract extension given by the Heat, announcing the "Return of the Prodigal Son" and returned to the Cavaliers with a 2-year 40 million contract!

On the same day, the Cavaliers and the Timberwolves reached a deal, trading Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett for Kevin Love!

The Big Three of Cavaliers take shape! The alliance pattern suddenly changed!

James' return to the Cavaliers is blessed and ironic, and fans have different mentalities.

The media's views on this are also inconsistent. The pro-James espn is naturally frantically touted, and the anti-James media is constantly mocking.

Liu Ren called James to tease him for the first time, but he was more excited. James, who returned to the Cavaliers, will return to the top again. After losing weight, he will be more than the past two seasons. Strong!

It is interesting to play against such an opponent. The Heat's method of draining the stars can only make the players reach the peak for a short time, but they will soon decline. Liu Ren understands James' choice very well. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

As for Anthony staying with the Knicks, Liu Ren can no longer predict whether it is a good choice, obviously not from memory, but the strength of the Knicks played at the end of the season overthrew his memory, everything is very different!

It was Wade that was tragic, neither retaining James nor getting the contract he wanted, even less than what he should have gotten out of the contract.

On July 15, the Lakers officially renewed their contracts with Baezmore, Nick Young and Thackeray.

Baezmore got a 4-year 10 million renewal contract with an average of 2.5 million per year without salary increase. The final year of the team option, this contract is much higher than the 3-year 6 million that Baezmoore received from the Hawks , So he is willing to have a team option.

Nick Young got a four-year contract of 16 million declining year by year. The first year was as high as 5.5 million, and the last year was only 3.5 million. Obviously, it was to prepare for the salary space later.

Thackeray got a four-year contract extension of 7 million, with a starting salary of 1.23 million.

After the three people renewed, the general framework of the Lakers has been basically completed, the salary space is almost occupied, and there are not many positions. This summer, except for the 2003 Big Four and Jordan, there are not many big-name stars. , The Lakers are all in the positions of these big-name players, so the Lakers management finishes the things that should be done early, not to delay things, but also to do other things early.
