There's even thunder!

The youth team of the Thunder has risen, becoming the first team in history to reach the finals.

Now, the four kings of the west are alive together, it is simply a life and death battle.

This also includes the Grizzlies, who reached the Western Conference Finals last season, and the Spurs, who ranked first in the regular season last season.

This west is not purgatory, it is hell!

And one wave after another, just when everyone thought the free market should be quiet, it started again in the east!

With Paul's and this success story, Howard also started to make trouble.

He will not exercise his player option next year, he has to leave the team!

In today’s environment, not to mention the Big Three, you actually need dual cores!

But the Magic's current space has been completely locked up, and the players are all high-paid and low-energy, so it is impossible to build a dual-core team!

So, trade me!

Magic: We never use centers, we are just a production base for centers!

What is the domino effect?

Soon, the Nets, Rockets and Heat became the three most likely places for Howard to go.

Among them, the Nets are the most likely to reach a deal because their bargaining chips are ready.

Brook Lopez, a 20+10 star, and Gerald Wallace, a powerful striker, can equalize their contracts.

By the way, the Nets also have the salary space to absorb Turkoglu's contract.

It couldn't be more perfect.

As for the Rockets, it is more in line with Howard's character. Texas cities have low taxes and have salary space, so he went to change mountains and start from scratch.

Needless to say, the Heat have Anthony!

This actually has to start with the 2008 Olympics. This group of people worked together to revive the American Dream Team, so they have a close relationship with each other.

These are some of the key factors why the 2003 generation gathered together and why Kobe chose to team up with Paul.

Nothing happens without reason, but with traces to follow.

However, the Heat are also the most difficult to operate.

Because whether the Heat has salary space is secondary, after all, there is an amnesty clause available.

But the key now is that they have no trading chips.

Although Anthony finally chose to come back and renew his contract with the Heat, there really isn't much the Heat have that has trade value other than draft picks.

The most valuable Clippers draft pick was also sent to the Nuggets.

So the current situation is that the Nets lead the battle for Howard.

And as the free market gradually comes to an end, the probability of the Nets acquiring Howard is getting higher and higher.

However, at this time, big differences emerged within the Nets management.

The final result of the disagreement was that they suspended the deal with the Magic and instead made a new offer to the Suns.

They are preparing to use Ross-Lin Ying terms to bid for Lin Ying!

A "super maximum salary" contract with a starting salary of 17.4 million and a four-year salary of 74 million. This is the largest contract Lin Ying can get besides the Suns.

This is to bet the future on Lin Ying!

This wave of operations caused a lot of heated discussion in the league.

In fact, Sarver's original thoughts were also the thoughts of most teams.

Lin Ying has FMVP bonus and averaged 21.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists last season. There is no doubt about getting the maximum salary.

However, there is indeed a question mark regarding this "super maximum salary" for this data.

Especially when the Suns failed to defend their title last season, his impression score dropped a lot.

If nothing else, at least it's much worse than Rose and Durant.

So the Nets are the only team to do this.

Several other teams that had made maximum salary offers to Lin Ying before did not follow up.

This time, the Suns are really in trouble!

They only have two options now.

Either let Lin Ying go, or be prepared to pay a huge luxury tax.

This decision can only be made by Savoir.

Savor also made a decision quickly.

That decision led to Kerr ultimately choosing to resign from the Suns.

"I'm not very good at doing this kind of thing. I wouldn't send the best player on the team away."

Cole's words were quite straightforward when he resigned.

He likes Xiao Si and also likes Lin Ying.

Now if he is asked to send Lin Ying out like this, he can't do it.

In fact, it is mainly because Cole does not lack this job.

If he resigns, ESPN has already prepared a position waiting for him.

But the NBA will still move on without anyone.

After Kerr resigned, Kerr's former assistant Lance Blanks officially took over as the team's general manager.

The first thing he did after taking office was to start a trade with the Nets.

Although it is a free agent offer, because it is restricted, it is actually very close to a normal transaction.

Of course, there must be differences.

At this time, it depends on how both parties manage their psychology.

This will test the general manager's ability, so the pressure on Blanks' shoulders will not be small.

…

Lin Ying learned the news after training that day.

The call came from Cole.

Cole is apologizing to Lin Ying.

It sounds like if he hadn't insisted on trading for Oden last season, it wouldn't be so difficult for the Suns this summer.

In addition to not wanting to trade Lin Ying, a large part of the reason for his resignation was this.

Lin Ying was lost for a while.

Because he has thought about it a lot, but there is really no option to leave the sun.

This can be seen from the fact that he was still thinking about coming back for revenge in the new season.

But the current rules are like this. Under the new collective bargaining agreement, it will become extremely difficult for a super team to maintain.

It cannot be said that Sarver is not willing to spend money. After all, he is not Ballmer, not to mention that Ballmer can't do it.

So now that he knew he was leaving the team, he still felt a little regretful.

At the end, he smiled bitterly unconsciously.

Who can blame this?

Is it Cole's fault? Or is it Duffy's? Or is it the league's changed rules?

Things are impermanent!

There is no point in regretting. Thinking on the bright side, going to the Nets is also a good choice?

At least there was a Russian boss there who was willing to spend money;

There is also Deron, his old rival, but he worked well as a partner with him in the All-Star Game;

Didn't Deron publicly declare before that he wanted to play with him in the Suns?

Now it's fine, we are playing together, but not in the Suns;

Oh, and Jimmy Butler, the little boy he trained with during the summer;

There is also Yi Jianlian. The Nets’ focus is definitely not on that now. I don’t know if he will renew his contract after he passed;

Even if you take a closer look, the Nets will have to move to Brooklyn, New York in a few years.

James won the first championship of his career and was praised by fans as surpassing Jordan.

Now he will go to New York and have a direct confrontation?
