Stephen Cory and Paul Gasol joined the Pelicans, and the defending champion lineup was suddenly supported, but the team still had serious shortages. Al Jefferson, Henson, Gasol, Thornton, Li Feng, Corey, the Pelicans only have 6 players, the team's salary space was also compressed, there was also a middle class and an injury special case, and the biennium terms, and other players could only use basic salary signs, which means that at least 6 players on the Pelicans' 15-man roster will get basic salary next season, and Liu Qiyu's task is still very heavy.

With Paul Gasol joining, the Pelicans' next focus is on the outside. For players who may sign in the middle class terms, the forward guards include Lorden, Paul Pierce, CJ Myers, Marvin Williams, Evan Turner, Vince Carter, Nick Young, Isaiah Thomas, PJ Tucker and others.

Among them, the first goal of Louldeng's Pelicans C project is of course also the most difficult task to complete.

It is well known that most of his money is not enjoyed by himself, so even if the Pelicans can win the championship, he may not be able to accept the Pelicans' middle-class offer. It is impossible to introduce Lould to strengthen the outside line.

However, Louldon is also the goal that the Pelicans are most eager to get.

Louldon is the strongest player the Pelicans may get. He is not only versatile, but also has a calm personality and a good overall view. In the 13-14 season, Louldon played a total of 40 regular season games for the Cavaliers. Deng, 29, has played in the league for 9 years. He has played a total of 677 regular season games for the Bulls and the Cavaliers, including 631 starts.

Although he can't become Grant Hill, Lolden, like Andre Iguodala, is a player that any coach likes. His comprehensive skills allow him to enrich the Pelicans' tactics and allow the Pelicans, who are seriously short of people, to have more combat effectiveness.

However, introducing LoreDeng is just the Pelicans' subjective wish. They also have a strong enemy, that is, the Miami Heat. Because of LeBron James' attitude, the Heat did not have substantial contact with LoreDeng, but the vague offer is more than ten million. If compared with the contract, the Pelicans are not competitive, because the Charlotte Bobcats still have an outrageous 40 million salary space after introducing Arenas, Michael Jordan also gave a quotation of more than ten million. At the same time, the Bobcats have already quoted the Jazz free agent Gordon Hayward for maximum salary.

Of course, Lorden was like a goddess in Silk's eyes at this time. Even if he couldn't marry, there was a small family jade that could live. This small family jade was the "truth" Paul Pierce.

If Mr. Truth is 3 years younger, then the Pelicans would not have any "fantasy" at all. Now the PP is 36 years old and was injured last year. The Pelicans may not need to be completely middle-class to win the PP.

Although Paul Pierce is about to retire, his strong body and "down-to-earth" floor-flowing style made him send Marvin Williams and Nick Young to become the Pelicans' second target.

Although it is the second target, the PP is still very popular, and the Spurs Wizards and other teams are also competing for Pierce. The Pelicans may not necessarily attract the opponent to join.

For this reason, the Pelicans still have a third goal, that is Evan Turner.

Evan Turner is one of the several potential new stars that the Philadelphia 76ers have destroyed in recent years, as the second-tier pick. He couldn't even play the starter in the first two seasons, but the third season improved a bit, and in the fourth season, he encountered "blow-up fake" Mikaway and grabbed the core position. In fact, in the first two months of last season, he played at the All-Star level. Who knew that the 76ers who were brain-drawn were afraid of affecting Mikaway and traded Turner to the Pacers. The Pacers had George and Stephenson. Turner played as a substitute and fell into the abyss all at once.

Last season, Turner played the shadow of Brandon Roy. His style was calm and he had a great demeanor. If it weren't for the Pelicans now, Cory, Li Feng and others, Ross' injury would not have been completely destroyed. The Pelicans would have listed him as the first target. After all, it is difficult for the Pelicans to get a good draft pick again. The team cannot be all the same age. The team should store some young players as reserve forces, especially Liu Qiyu "accidentally" got Oladipo away. If Lorden and Pierce are difficult to get, the Pelicans would sign this young man without hesitation.

Jeff Van Gundy also likes Turner's character. As long as the Pelicans give him a chance, he is not as worried that Turner will not be able to play.

...

The Pelicans' introduction work is underway, and the same is true for other teams.

On July 5, NBA free agent Spencer Hawys joined the Clippers with a salary of $23 million for 4 years and formed a luxury inside group with Jordan Jr. and Griffin. The last year of the contract is a player option and contains a 15% trading margin.

Hawys has made it clear before that he hopes to join a competitive team. Hawys missed the playoffs in five of his seven seasons after entering the NBA. He is tired of losing. The Clippers' inside line already has Griffin, who ranked third in the MVP ranking last season and rebounding champion DeAndrew Jordan, who is now joining Hawys, which makes the Clippers' inside line more luxurious. With Coach Rivers and point guard Paul, the Clippers in the new season will be a strong contender for the championship.

The Clippers' current salary exceeds the salary cap, so the signing of Hawys is a middle-class special case for non-luxury tax teams.,,, signed for a maximum of 4 years, with a total of 22.65 million US dollars, which is about 23 million US dollars.

According to regulations, since the Clippers use the full non-luxury tax middle class special case, the new season will trigger a hard salary cap, that is, the team's salary cannot exceed the rich line at any moment (the luxury tax line plus $4 million). This year's luxury tax line will not be announced until July 10. Previous internal news said it would reach $77 million, which means that the rich line is likely to be $81 million.

The NBA is currently in the July freezing period, so the signing will need to wait until the 10th local time to officially complete. There is a player option in Hawys' contract, and he can break out of the contract in the summer of 2017 and become a free agent in advance. The contract also has a 15% trading margin, which means that if traded, Hawys' salary will increase slightly.

Hawys is 26 years old, 2.14 meters tall, and serves as center on the court. Hawys is the No. 10 rookie in 2007. He played for the Kings in the first three seasons of his career, his style is similar to Brad Miller, and he has strong shooting ability and support ability. In 2010, Hawys was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers and was traded to the Cavaliers in the mid-2013-14 season.

In the past season, Hawys played 80 games with the 76ers and the Cavaliers, and was traded to 27 games after the Cavaliers. He is one of the best players in the league in shooting.

Now the league likes to hoard inside players. The Bulls have Okafor and Howard and compete with the Pelicans for Gasol, the Warriors have Chandler and S., and the Clippers have successfully won Hawys.

If it weren't for Paul Gasol, or if the Pelicans need more strengthening on the outside than the inside, the Pelicans would have pursued a comprehensive big man like Hawys. Unfortunately, the Pelicans can only focus on the outside now.

On July 6, a report from the Dallas Morning News said that well-informed sources revealed that the Mavericks reached an agreement with point guard Devin Harris, and the two sides will renew their contract for three years. According to a tip obtained by espn Dallas reporter Tim McMahon, the total value of Harris' new contract will exceed $9 million. It is not yet certain. Whether the new contract will include player or team options after the second year of the new contract ends.

In a deal with the Knicks at the end of last month, the Mavericks sent Jose Calderon to New York. So after the free agent market opened on July 1 local time, staying Harris became the Mavericks' top target. The new contract received was about $3 million annually. This is very close to the agreement he initially reached with the Mavericks last summer.

A year ago, the Mavericks and Harris reached a three-year contract worth $9 million. But then, Harris' toe needed surgery. So the Mavericks recovered the offer. After signing Monta Ellis and Samuel Dalemport, Harris signed a one-year contract worth $1.3 million for veterans.

Harris, 31, missed the first half of last season due to injury. He played 40 regular season games for the Mavericks in the 13-14 season. In the first round of the playoffs with the Spurs, Harris' performance is worthy of recognition.

As the fifth pick in the first round in 2004, Harris has been in the league for 10 years. So far in his career, Harris has played 641 regular season games with the Mavericks, Nets, Jazz and Hawks, including 442 starts.

Before this, the Mavericks reached a contract renewal agreement with Dirk Nowitzki, and the two sides will sign a three-year contract worth $30 million. In addition, the Mavericks are also actively recruiting Cameron Anthony, and are also revealed to be pursuing LeBron James. However, judging from the current news, the possibility of Anthony and James coming to Dallas is slim.

Then players such as PJ Tucker, Josh McRoberts, Boris Dior also had results.

But none of this was enough to shock the league, and until July 12, LeBron James told Sports Illustrated that he would return to the Cavaliers. Then, James confirmed the news through his personal social network. Yes, the emperor is back home!

In the 1415 season, James will re-dress the Cavaliers jersey, which means that the three giants that the Heat have formed for four years have been disintegrated.

As the No. 1 pick in 2003, James made the decision to go to Miami in the summer of 2010 after playing for seven years with the Cavaliers. At that time, he became the target of criticism by Cleveland media and fans. After playing for four years with the Heat, James had been swept and abused as a dog in the playoffs. Li Feng is now in the Western Conference Pelicans and is still the lifelong mortal enemy of the Heat and LeBron James.

James is a 4-time regular season MVP. He announced half a month ago that he would jump out of the contract worth $42.7 million in the remaining two years and become a complete free agent.

At that time, the outside world agreed that the three giants, including him, would choose to cut their salaries, so that they could help the Heat introduce strong players. However, sources revealed that James was not satisfied with the signings of Heat President Pat Riley this summer. They met in Las Vegas on Wednesday local time, but James did not make any promises at the time.

James returned to Miami by private jet from Casino with Wade a day ago. LBJ's plan is to fly to Brazil this weekend to watch the World Cup finals, before he finally made the final decision. The Cavaliers completed a tripartite deal with the Nets and the Celtics earlier this week, freeing up enough cap space to provide James with the maximum salary contract. After returning to Cleveland, James will join hands with 2011 No. 1 pick Kyrie Irving, this year's No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins and last year's No. 1 pick Anthony Bennett.

James, 29, played a total of 77 regular season games for the Heat in 13-14. So far in his career, James has played a total of 842 regular season games for the Cavaliers and the Heat, of which 841 starts.

James was the best rookie of 2004, won the All-Star MVP and the Finals MVP twice, and was selected into the League's Best Team 1 8 times and 10 times.

Just after LeBron and James chose to return to the Cavaliers, the fans of the Heat still had at least some comfort after being angry. This news was a very big blow to the Rockets. They had been planning for a long time to sign Bosh with a maximum salary. However, this time the superstar competition for the Houstonians was just a waste of time.

The "Emperor" had been enduring and unwilling to reveal his intentions before, which also led many teams to be very passive in operation. When he officially announced his return to Cleveland in the early morning of this day, he also forced the Heat into a desperate situation. Without James, the Heat may directly mean that the quality of winning the championship dropped by 10%, not to mention for Bosh. This is also the best excuse he can choose to leave the Heat and join other teams - after all, he has always been devoted to the championship. But in the end, Bosh chose to be loyal and left his last peak in the city of Miami.

In fact, if Bosh wants both money and championship, he can discuss with the Heat to send it to the team he hopes for by signing first and then changing. This is also a way to compensate his old club while ensuring his income. It is just that it is elusive to James' indecisiveness. Even though Bosh was always in the accused part of the Big Three, he still chose to stay with the Heat.

Bosh averaged 32 minutes per game in the 2013-14 season, with a lowest free throw rate of 82%. It is worth mentioning that Bosh averaged points, rebounds, shots and free throws per game in the past season were the lowest points in his NBA career. If we look at personal data alone, Bosh doesn't seem to be worth such a high contract, especially when he was fighting against the top inside line. However, he endured humiliation and helped James and Wade. This kind of selfless spirit of making such a great sacrifice for the team is hard to come by.

In the United States, which blindly worships personal heroism, players like Bosh are very suitable for playing in a team of super giants, which is also the basis for the integration of top superstars. Perhaps the Rockets will chase Bosh so crazily, that is, they are interested in such traits. However, when the Heat loses James, they can only start the second step of the plan. This is probably also the new core established by the Heat after they lose James. They hope to fully ensure that the team will not fall immediately.

The news about James and Bosh is enough to attract the league's attention, but the Pelicans are not paying attention to this, but James left the Heat, who increased their pursuit of Lol Deng. The Pelicans' middle class is still not attractive enough. After all, Lol Deng is only 29 years old, not the 36-year-old Grand Gasol.

On the 13th, Adrian Wonarovsky, a famous reporter from Yahoo Sports, reported on Twitter that well-informed sources revealed that full free agent Lol Deng reached an agreement with the Heat, and the two sides will sign a four-year contract worth $42 million. In the summer of 2017, Deng had the player option.

LeBron James announced his return to the Cavaliers a few days ago, which led to the official collapse of the Heat's Big Three, which had been formed for four years. After that, on Saturday local time, Riley communicated with Dun's agent Ron Shad. There was news that Shad refused Riley's offer of $42 million in four years, because Dun hopes that the annual salary of the new contract can reach $140,015 million.

Unexpectedly, Deng changed his mind on Saturday morning local time, so the two sides reached a signing agreement. This reminds people of last week when Deng met with Riley and Heat coach Eric Spoelstra in Chicago. According to sources, Riley was very "charming" at the time, and the meeting was very similar to the recruitment method of college.

Interestingly, Deng agreed to an annual salary of about $10 million, which surprised many reporters. The Bulls accompanied the team reporter KC Johnson said on Twitter, "Deng agreed to go to Miami for 4 years and 42 million. But just last season, Deng refused the three-year contract extension offered by the Bulls with a total value of $30 million..." It was precisely because of the rejection of this contract extension. The Bulls traded Lol Deng to the Cavaliers.

After Deng agreed to join, Riley's main job will be to discuss a new contract with Dwayne Wade, Udunis Haslem and "Birdman" Anderson. It is reported that these three veterans are inclined to continue playing for the Heat. Espn commentator Bill Walton said, "Deng has become James' stand-in. Next season, the Heat will form Wade, Bosh and Deng's new three. I believe Riley's team can win 50 wins in the regular season in the 1415 season."

In the 13-14 season, Loul Deng played 40 regular season games for the Cavaliers. Deng, 29, has played in the league for 9 years. He played 677 regular season games for the Bulls and the Cavaliers, including 631 starts...

The Pelicans are still mentally prepared for Lol Dun to join the Heat, especially when LeBron and James arrive at the Cavaliers. The Pelicans are ready to sign Paul Pierce at any time. When Lol Dun has a result, the Pelicans decisively signed Mr. Truth.

On the afternoon of the 13th, the Pelicans lost the battle against the Heat's Lol Deng, but they laughed to the end in the battle against the Wizards.

Pierce became a free agent this summer. Although he is 36 years old, judging from the previous situation, he is still in good shape.

During the 13-14 season, during the Nets,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and many other teams, including the Wizards, Trail Blazers, Bulls, Rockets, Lakers, etc., they were interested in introducing Pierce.

According to sources, Pierce has reached a franchise agreement with the Pelicans, and the two sides will sign a two-year contract worth about $10 million.

According to sources, there is a player option in this contract, which also means Pierce can choose to become a free agent next summer.

For the Pelicans, after losing Arenas and Caron Butler, Pierce's arrival obviously could fill the gap left by the two people's departure. Arenas went to the Bobcats, and Caron Butler returned to the Wizards.

Not only that, the contract signed by Pierce with the Pelicans contains great flexibility. To a certain extent, this will not affect the Pelicans' future recruitment plan.

Previously, there were sources saying that Pierce hopes to get a contract with an annual salary of about $9 million to $10 million. Judging from the above situation, Pierce chose to join the Pelicans and is likely to make concessions in terms of contract salary.

It is worth mentioning that in the eyes of many industry insiders, Pierce is likely to choose to join the Clippers this summer. After all, the team's coach Rivers has had a good cooperation with Pierce.

In an interview with the media, Pierce said that he did have communication with Rivers. However, Pierce finally chose to join the Pelicans. In Pierce's opinion, he hopes to be able to compete in the league for at least one to two years.

From the current perspective, Pierce's arrival is not only able to fill the vacancy left by Arenas and Caron Butler, but also his rich game experience will also be of great help to the young Pelicans. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
