The door to the free market is about to open, and all kinds of rumors are constantly flying out.

For example, the 76ers have lost patience with Bynum and there is a high probability that they will not renew his contract and the latter will join the free agent market.

Iguodala failed to reach an early contract extension with the 76ers last season, and leaving the team is highly likely.

So you can understand that the 76ers are going to tear down and rebuild, and directly open a supermarket.

At the same time, Josh Smith was also having trouble with his parent team.

This new generation of Eagle King after Joe Johnson seems to be leaving Atlanta.

This year's free market looks to be very lively.

…

On July 1, the NBA free market officially opens.

Miami.

JR Smith and Anthony were enjoying the wind on the beach, watching the girls walking back and forth in the distance.

There is no shortage of women for the two of them, but domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, and they are looking at them with admiration at the moment.

For some women, it is more interesting to be a scenery than to have them.

As he watched, Smith's cell phone rang.

Smith had previously announced that he was opting out of his contract and was preparing to renew a lucrative contract with the Heat.

So now his cell phone is always on and the volume is turned up loud, just waiting for his agent to call him.

His heart skipped a beat when he heard the noise.

I picked it up and saw that it was indeed the agent calling.

His agent and Anthony are both the same person, the famous Leon Rose.

"Leon?"

Because of the loud volume, Anthony even looked away.

Smith nodded happily and picked up.

He picked it up with a smile, but soon frowned.

The reason is simple: the negotiations between Rose and the Heat did not go smoothly.

In fact, Ross had been working hard before and thought things would go smoothly.

After all, Smith performed well last season, averaging a career-high 17 points per game.

With this data and his age, an annual salary of tens of millions is not a dream.

But judging from the current negotiations, the Heat only want to give him a three-year contract extension of about 17 million.

The average annual salary is less than 6 million, which is somewhat insulting.

However, it is obvious that it is difficult for a player like Smith, who has "thorny" attributes and is not very good at defense, to earn an annual salary of tens of millions.

Just look at the contracts of Jamal Crawford and Lou Williams.

"Not going well?"

Seeing Smith's sad face as he hung up the phone, Anthony asked.

Smith nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll go talk to Michael (McCullough) and the problem will be solved soon."

Anthony said calmly.

Smith is his little brother.

Smith immediately became happy when he heard this.

With boss Anthony taking action, the problem will be solved soon.

…

On the first day of the free market, all the rumors that had been made before came true one after another.

Josh Smith, Iguodala, and Bynum have all entered the free agent market one after another.

This time, the Cavaliers were the happiest.

Because they need to strengthen their interior and forward lines.

As long as one of these people is willing to go, the Cavaliers will be very strong next season.

However, since the entrance hall needs to be replaced, the results will naturally not come out so quickly.

On the contrary, there are continuous reports from the Lakers.

The first is that they renewed a five-year contract with Paul with a maximum salary of 107 million, of which the fourth year is a player option.

Because there is basically no suspense about this, there were very few rumors before.

In addition, they also officially decided on Phil Jackson's successor.

It's not Brian Shaw as was widely rumored before, but Mike D'Antoni.

There is actually a lot to say about Phil Jackson's retirement. As Jeanie Buss's boyfriend, he is not simply tired and wants to rest.

D'Antoni is a head coach candidate that Jim Buss strongly supports.

This change shows that within the Bass Group, Jim has the upper hand at this time.

This is also understandable. The Lakers formed a super team but were unable to win the championship. It was expected that Jeanie Buss would lose ground.

The first day of free agency was the Lakers, and on the second day, it was the Knicks.

They reached a two-year, 6 million mid-level contract with Mo Williams, with the second year being a player option.

This is a very good addition to the Knicks.

In addition, they also signed veterans Stephen Jackson and Jason Collins respectively with minimum salaries to replace McGrady and Fisher who left the team.

The Knicks' main lineup will not change much next season, but the bench lineup will become stronger again.

After Riley became the head coach, the Knicks' operation speed accelerated.

The Knicks were signing people continuously, and at the same time in Brooklyn on the other side of the river, Karl was also undergoing trial training.

Karl also specially called Lin Ying.

In order to make the trial training more targeted, Karl even brought people from the team's summer league to the trial training first, not only for 1-on-1 and half-time, but also for the whole game.

The 1V1 and 3V3 trials are over, and both Barbosa and Livingston are in excellent form.

Both of them have made sufficient preparations for today's trial training.

Finally, there is the whole audience.

It was at this time that Lin Ying saw a particularly familiar figure on the team's summer league team.

Robert Covington!

"Why is he here with us?"

Lin Ying turned to Walken Dean and asked.

"who?"

Walken Dean didn't react for a moment.

Lin Ying said Covington's name, but Dean Walken still shook his head.

The answer wasn't known until McMillan was called over, who would take the team to the summer league.

"He is an undrafted player. He has good physical condition, but his offense and defense are relatively poor."

McMillan explained that this was also the draft report he got.

Lin Ying nodded.

He doesn't even remember when Covington entered the NBA, let alone whether he was undrafted.

But this made him see that it was a bit lucky.

Covington, nicknamed General Co, is the pinnacle of 3D!

The scarcity of 3D players in this league is very high. Contracts may not be worth tens of millions, but they will be snapped up as soon as they enter the free market.

This is also the benefit of Tianyan. There are too many players in this league who are in good shape, but most of them cannot be trained.

Take the Thunder's McGee as an example. His defense is very good, but his offense remains the same after a season.

"I feel more uncomfortable watching him shoot than I do when I am constipated."

During training, Durant often complained to him about McGeegin's twisted shots.

After MacMillan left, Lin Ying turned around and communicated with Walken Dean for a while.

He didn't want to interfere with the management, but if someone like this came to him, he wouldn't be able to do it without using his own eyes.

It's like when you go out and see 100 yuan dropped on the ground, would you walk over without paying attention?

What's more, Covington costs more than 100 yuan.

And the Nets may not be able to keep Butler next season. If Covington can be trained, he will be a very good substitute.

After the whole trial, Barbosa and Livingston still performed very well.
