This means that jokes this season will have greater rights.

He has basically begun to completely control the league.

After all, the handover between alliance presidents is not something that can be accomplished in an instant.

Before the joke officially takes over, he must be familiar with the operation of the entire league.

Therefore, this season, although Stern is still the league president on the surface, he is actually basically in a semi-retired state.

After the joke controls the overall situation, you must not give up a wave of thunder.

Therefore, the opportunity to face the defending champion in the opening match was given to Du Xiaoshuai.

But indeed, everyone thinks that the Oxford Thunder is the most promising team in the West.

The performances of Harden, Durant and Turtle are all amazing.

However, there is still a big news about the Thunder, which is still brewing.

The following month, the NBA preseason will also begin to be held in a blazing manner.

Cole brought this new warrior to win a series of battles. It can be seen that the combination of Cannon + Iguodala is indeed better in chemical reaction than Cannon + Beast.

Moreover, the Warriors' defense did not collapse because of Howard's departure.

Paul + Iguodala + Jordan Jr. This defensive triangle is quite terrifying to look at the entire league.

When Zhu Meng Green grows up in the future, the Warriors' defense will go to a higher level.

Some people are happy and some are worried. On the Lakers, like the original history, they have 0 wins in 5 preseason games.

After Howard joined the Lakers, ESPN's strength rankings once ranked the Lakers second in the league, second only to the defending champion Trail Blazers.

But their performance in the preseason was surprising.

Mike Brown's Princeton played a mess. Although Kobe gave up the ball, he still couldn't help the Lakers find a comfortable way to play.

However, it is not the darkest period for the Lakers. At least Kobe and Howard are still in the honeymoon period at this time.

After all, when the Lakers recruited Howard, they promised: "Dwight, you are here to take over Kobe's team, and this giant team will be yours in the future!"

But Howard will soon find that this team can only be Kobe's.

After walking around myself, I was still a high-level tool guy.

By then, the Lakers will be really miserable.

On the Trail Blazers, their record is naturally quite domineering.

With Wayne averaging less than 20 minutes of playing time, the Trail Blazers still won a complete record in the preseason.

Although no one has fought hard in the preseason, the value of winning is limited.

But even so, it is enough to demonstrate the strength of the defending champion.

Stephenson was very confident in his interview.

After playing the last pre-season game, a reporter asked him: "Do you have confidence in the next three consecutive championships?"

Stephenson smiled disdainfully and asked the reporter: "Is the earth flat?"

Owen: "Just introduce a question..."

The pace before the new season begins is very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it is already the end of October.

Major media and fans are already discussing who is likely to become the strongest challenger of the Trail Blazers this season and who is most likely to stop the Trail Blazers from winning three consecutive championships.

Among them, the Heat is naturally the one who calls out the most.

Although the Big Three won one game last season, from the paper lineup, the Heat are still the most likely to challenge the success.

The second is the Lakers. Even if the Lakers lose five consecutive games in the preseason, people believe that the combination of SG + C is guaranteed, and the lower limit is guaranteed.

"The Lakers just didn't play seriously in the preseason." said Ma Ji, an expert on childbirth in Los Angeles.

The Warriors, who caused the biggest trouble to the Trail Blazers last season, were considered to have little chance.

The reason is very simple. The lineup of Paoer + Iguodala sounds like a first PG + a first C sounds like a bluff.

The old thief Vicci's dog thorn is not worthy of possessing even his name and has not been mentioned at all.

There is no way, the media and fans prefer to judge the strength of a team from the perspective of paper lineup.

But in fact, the dog thorns next season are not easy to mess with at all.

Wayne even believes that the old thief's team is the most threatening team to the Trail Blazers next season.

After so many years of decline and defeating the Trail Blazers in the draft last year, the Spurs have completely gotten out of the trough and reached the last peak of the GDP era.

In the 13-year finals in Wayne's previous life, the Spurs played against the Heat until the tiebreaker.

If it weren't for Ray Allen's century three-pointer, Battier's big explosion of 6 of 7 three-pointers, no small card's two free throws at the critical moment, no Duncan's last minute tip-in... Then it's not certain who will be the winner in 13 years.

Although there are not so many ifs for competitive sports, the fact is that the Spurs in 2013 are actually a slight difference from the championship.

It's just a few small details.

It is true that the Heat in 2013 is very strong, but one thing that must be admitted is that they have good luck.

Now, the Spurs quickly made a comeback in 2014, successfully taking revenge and directly defeating the three giants.

Therefore, there is not much difference in strength between the Spurs in 2013 and the Spurs in 2014.

Such a Spurs is definitely not something that can be easily handled like in previous years.

This season, Wayne believes that his love, hate and old thief Vic will continue to take place.

In addition to the Spurs, the second most threatening team in the West should be online soon.

Just when fans were ready to enter the game, on October 28, two days before the regular season opening game began, a major deal occurred between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Mosaic!

Houston Mosaics gave away the crooked pitcher Kevin Martin, 2K master Jeremy Lamb and future draft picks.

The Thunder traded to get the sixth man of the best season, James Harden, the Oxford Club Hall of Fame member, as well as Cole Aldridge, DeQueen Cook and Laza Hayward."

The others actually exist to match the contract. The main body of this transaction is Martin + Lamb + draft pick for Harden!

The Thunder's deal caught off guard, especially at the critical moment two days before the new season is about to begin.

Under normal circumstances, such a heavy trade will never be completed two days before the start of the season.

In fact, the Thunder were forced to do nothing, so they chose to trade Harden temporarily.

The Thunder's attitude is very tough. They know that Harden is a good player, but not as good as he can become a superstar.

Therefore, I am only willing to give Harden a four-year contract of 52 million.

And he also specifically emphasized: "We only give you an hour to consider!"

He attempted to scare Harden with this oppressive method and let him sign the contract quickly.

Although the Thunder's offer is only 6 million away from Harden's psychological expectations, for a team like the Thunder, 6 million is not a small amount!

Not every team is like the Trail Blazers. After renewing Wayne for 130 million this summer, they immediately renewed Curry with a maximum salary, as if they were not money.

For the Thunder, 6 million is enough to determine the stay or stay of a player.

Speaking of which, elementary school students in history are also lucky.

In the original history, due to serious injuries, he only signed a child labor contract extension with the Warriors in 12 years, and only 44 million yuan in four years.

This contract is also an opportunity for Durant to join the Warriors in the future. Because Curry's contract is small, the Warriors can build the Galaxy battleship.

In this history, the second contract for primary school students was directly the maximum salary of 25%. Sure enough, if you follow Brother Wei, the future will be great.

Back to the point, Harden was stunned when he learned that he had only one hour to think about it.

The bearded man had never seen this world at that time. 52 million, this is simply astronomical.

An hour later, when Hu Zideng called back and told Thunder that he wanted to think carefully, Thunder told him directly: "We love you, but we have traded you to Houston."

I really only give an hour to consider the time, and the detonator is ruthless this time.

Even if I was killed by the detonator, my decisiveness this time was likely to destroy a dynasty.

You guys look handsome when you trade Harden, but they look really embarrassed when they start to accumulate draft picks a few years later.

At that time, the bearded man cried with a "wow". He thought he could always play the sixth man in the Thunder, win the championship with his brothers, and retire his jersey in a nightclub in Oxford.

Now, everything is gone!

And, the most important thing is, after leaving Oxford... where can I find such a temperamental social elder brother like Durant!

Brother, I really don’t want to leave!

This transaction is considered an earthquake-magnitude transaction.

Although Harden is not yet a super giant, his status is not as high as that.

But because the Thunder are the Western Conference strong team that are highly anticipated, and the deal is very sudden, the shocking effect of the transaction has been magnified several times.

The whole world was shocked, only Wayne, who had been spoiled, had no response.

It's really painful to be spoiled in advance...
