The Fifth Point Guard

  Chapter 473 The crazy alliance changes its face (first more)

  When O’Neal’s deal shocked the league, no one noticed that Steve Nash was waived by the Dallas Mavericks to become a free agent and signed a five-year, $65 million contract with the Phoenix Suns.

  This time, Cuban did not give Nash any chance. Even though Nash said he could choose to cut his salary in order to stay, the Mavericks still let go of the All-Star guard.

  Shentong’s old club, the New Jersey Nets, are not idle either. After Jefferson has grown into the team’s top scorer, they think Martin is no longer important to the team.

  The Nets, who lost Shentong, believed that the trio of Kidd, Martin, and Jefferson alone could not stand out in the East, especially after the Heat introduced O’Neal.

   Martin's play style inside the lane gave the Nets other ideas.

  However, the Nets did not do things as ugly as the Mavericks.

   They signed first and then changed. They signed a 7-year $90 million contract with Martin to show respect for Martin, and then traded three first-round picks with the Denver Nuggets.

  Nuggets fans are very satisfied with this deal. The combination of Anthony and Martin's striker makes the fans full of expectations.

Dissatisfied are the Nets fans. After losing two All-Star players, Shentong and Martin for two consecutive years, they will be angry at the team’s general manager Bernard King, thinking that he has been operating the team in the past two years. It was terrible.

  The Spurs, which has been performing consistently over the years, are still very low-key.

Instead of strolling through the crazy transfer market this year, they first signed a six-year, $52 million contract with Manu Ginobili, and then with Brent, a free agent of the Seattle SuperSonics. -Barry signed a four-year $22 million contract, very pragmatic and low-key.

  As the Lakers fell apart, Derek Fisher also chose to leave.

  As a free agent, he did not choose to stay behind to support Kobe, but signed a six-year $37 million contract with the Golden State Warriors.

  Over time, the Cleveland Cavaliers also made a small trade.

  They traded point guard Eric Snow with the Philadelphia 76ers with two Derek Brown and Kevin Ollie, who didn’t have much playing time on the team.

  This deal should be a reinforcement for the position of the point guard, and the team finally has a pure point guard.

  On July 24, the Detroit Pistons, which killed the Lakers F4 in the Finals last season, announced that they had renewed a five-year, $57 million contract with power forward Rasheed Wallace, who became a free agent.

  After the roaring heaven came to Detroit, this team truly became a championship team.

  At the same time, Rashid claims that he has found home here.

   Renewed a five-year long-term contract, the Pistons retained their championship lineup, the new season will focus on the goal of defending.

  Although they are not as aggressive as other teams in the player market, the Pistons' old-fashioned and steady state makes people can't help but compare them with the Spurs in the West.

  On July 30th, the Nets made another show trade.

  They will make up for the vacancy of Shentong last season and played well the hero Kidders, sold to the Los Angeles Clippers at a low price, only exchanged for a second-round pick, which is almost a free gift.

  This time the fans are completely angry.

  The management of the Nets is playing like a monkey!

  Some fans even set up a website that "denounces the Nets management". In just one day, nearly 2,000 autographs were collected.

  But the Nets officials did not give any explanation or explanation to the fans.

  On August 6, the low-key Spurs renewed their contract with Robert Horry in a low-key manner.

  The New Jersey Nets finally introduced a player, Eric Williams, who was depressed in the Cavaliers last season.

  But the Nets fans do not buy it.

Some fans directly expressed their mockery of the Nets management: "They did such a big deal and thought they were going to re-sign Shentong from Cleveland. Who knew it was just Eric Williams. It was really disappointing. ."

  On August 19, the Wildcats group of four got a piece of good news.

  Loren Woods, who became a free agent, got an olive branch from the Toronto Raptors.

  According to Woods, in addition to expressing satisfaction with his trial, Carter's recommendation is also the reason why the Raptors signed Woods.

  After all, I have trained together for a while, and Carter knows that Woods’s level has improved a lot from last season.

  Excited Woods said in front of the media that he would do his best to help Carter and help Toronto win more victories.

   Then neither he nor Carter thought that they did join forces, but they were not in Toronto.

  On August 25th, at the last moment when the door of the transfer market was about to close, the NBA broke out two consecutive heavy trades, directly igniting the entire league and Chinese fans.

  The Nets, which has been attacked and ridiculed by fans, fought a turnaround.

  They suddenly completed a 5 for 2 deal with the Raptors!

The Nets sent away Alonzo Mourning, Eric Williams, Aaron Williams and two first-round picks, winning one of the league’s popular kings Vince Carter and just being signed by the Raptors Loren Woods under.

  Although Martin and Kidals are gone, the team has ushered in a heavyweight star, Carter.

  This transaction immediately turned the originally angry fans into joy.

   Kidd, Carter, Jefferson, this outside trio makes people look forward to the Nets' new season again.

  After O’Neal traveled eastward, it was logical to abandon Martin on the inside line and focus on the offensive line.

Some fans even think that the Nets, which has Carter at its peak and Jefferson, who has grown to 20+, is stronger than the previous two-time Finals. After all, Shentong at that time was not the league’s scoring leader. .

  New Jersey fans believe that the only one who can be worthy of the "air-receiving team" is the Nets.

  Jefferson, after losing Shentong, regained another Wildcats teammate-Woods.

   Another blockbuster deal came from Carter’s cousin Tracy McGrady.

  Originally, Shentong thought that this transaction might not happen in this time and space, but who knew that the transaction still happened just before the gate was closed.

  It is said that Yao Ming did not agree with the deal at the beginning, but the tough attitude of the Rockets management made Yao Ming finally choose neutral.

  Houston Rockets and Orlando Magic completed a big deal involving 7 people.

The Rockets got Tracy McGrady, Juwan Howard, Tyron Lou and Reis Gaines~www.ltnovel.com~ The Magic got Steve Francis and Katino Mobb Li and Kevin Cato.

  According to Barkley, the Rockets and Magic are winners.

  The Magic got Francis and can rebuild the team with the No. 1 pick Howard, while the Rockets have Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady's combination of inside and outside.

  After O'Neal and Kobe succeeded and separated, the combination of Yao Ming and McGrady attracted the attention of the league.

  Although Francis was determined to have been traded by the team, Yao Ming rushed to Francis’s home and participated in a party that had promised him before to see off his enlightened brother and mentor.

  The Magic did not make Francis feel wronged. They promised that Grant Hill could heal and play in the new season, and the strength of the team could meet Francis' needs.

  The crazy 04-05 season player market finally closed on September 1.

  No one thought that before the start of the new season, the league would have undergone such a big change.

  The battle for the championship has also become more suspenseful.
