This actually put Karl in a difficult position.

After finally communicating with Walken Dean for a while, he gave a message:

I want them all!

No one thinks they have too much money!

As for whether they can all be signed, that is a matter for Dean Warken.

Warken Dean is also a bit difficult.

He still has to contact JR Smith!

Speaking of JR, the Heat's offer is too low, so the Nets have no chance at all.

…

The third day of free agency.

The protagonist of the first day is the Lakers, and the protagonist of the second day is the Knicks.

On the third day, the Warriors and Cavaliers began to appear together.

And both sides are very lively.

After sending Ellis away last season, the Warriors strengthened the backcourt combination of Curry and Thompson, but the forward and interior strength are not enough.

But they now have space, so they quickly signed Iguodala with a four-year, $48 million contract.

This price was unexpected by the outside world, but Iguodala's personal wishes played a big role in it.

Lin Ying is not surprised by this signing, because playing basketball is just Iguodala's side job!

And in addition, the Warriors also signed Zaza Pachulia with a three-year, 15 million full mid-level contract.

At the same time, they also used the Bird clause to renew Jarrett Jack with a five-year, $30 million contract (the last year is partially guaranteed).

The Warriors are preparing for a big fight next season.

The Cavaliers also made a lot of noise.

In the past few days, they have been fiercely chasing Iguodala, and even offered a four-year, 70 million contract.

But Iguodala's choice vividly illustrates the reality of "no birds come to this rotten place in Cleveland."

So they turned their guns and set their sights on Josh Smith.

In the end, they won Smith with a four-year, 60 million contract.

This contract is larger than the contract Smith received in history. In history, Smith went to the Pistons for 54 million in four years.

Detroit is not a good place either, the kind of industrial city that will go bankrupt in the future.

So it can be seen from this that everyone pursues different things, and what Smith values ​​more is salary.

And after signing Smith, the Cavaliers made another very delicate operation.

They did not pursue Bynum as they did in history, but used two second-round picks to pack role players and traded Spencer Hawes from the "76ers Supermarket".

Hawes signed with the 76ers last year on a two-year, $13.1 million contract, which expires next summer.

It is reported that the deal was facilitated by Kidd.

As a guard, even though Kidd has just arrived in Cleveland, he actually knows what Irving and Harden need.

space.

Hawes is 2.16 meters tall. Although his defense is relatively poor, he is excellent in passing and controlling. The most important thing is that he has a stable outside three-pointer.

This kind of player is a space insider born for the Cavaliers' double guns.

Moreover, the Cavaliers already have Tristan Thompson and Josh Smith on defense. This offensive and defensive combination can completely complement each other.

The Cavaliers are rapidly completing their rebuild.

Lin Ying also kept scanning the news this day.

After watching the Cavaliers' operation, he knew that there would be a strong rival in the Eastern Conference next season.

Historically, Josh Smith went to the Pistons and was waived after one year because he was not very good at three-point shooting. In addition, the Pistons had Drummond and Monroe. At that time, the head coach of the Pistons was Stan Van Gundy, so there was no space at all.

Can't fight at all.

But the Cavaliers traded for Hawes, and Irving and Harden both have shooting range on the outside, so the space is completely different.

This can be seen by referring to Smith's history of playing with the Rockets and Harden.

But, if this happens, James' way "home" will be blocked!

He was suddenly curious, if the Knicks failed again this year, what would happen next season when the contracts of the three brothers expired?

The fourth day of free agency.

The Nets finally started to take action.

Warken Dean successively reached a minimum salary contract with Livingston and Barbosa.

Warken Dean has his own ideas here.

Because JR has been negotiating with the Heat, he was not in a hurry to contact him.

So Livingston and Barbosa saw plenty of opportunities for themselves.

Walken Dean now has a guarantee.

As for how to allocate playing time if JR is taken down later, and whether the players will be emotional, it is not something he will consider.

Karl wanted them all, so he brought them all.

So does this count as cheating Barbosa and Livingston?

Business is just business, and Walken Dean can't possibly think so much about role players.

And he is not worried about problems within the team. With Lin Ying here, these people can keep them under control.

After signing the two, Walken Dean quickly contacted JR's agent Ross.

He gave Rose two options. One was to join the Nets directly with a three-year, 9 million full mini-middle-level contract.

This is also the largest contract the Nets can offer if they exceed the cap.

Another option is to convince the Heat and Nets to sign first and then trade.

JR can continue to sign the three-year, 1,700 contract, and the Nets can sign and s

…

In Miami, JR and Ross were sitting across from each other in the living room.

Ross turned off the speakerphone and looked at his target, JR.

JR is struggling right now.

Anthony said that he would help him talk to the management, but nothing happened.

It's not that Anthony didn't do it, Anthony and James are both very loyal people.

But the Heat management didn't agree to Anthony.

The Heat are a team with aspirations, and Anthony has not played well in the Heat in the past two years.

If Howard's departure hadn't disrupted their plans, they might have put Anthony on the shelf.

So they refused to let go of the price when it came to JR's contract renewal.

In fact, the main reason why the Heat management did this was that JR could not get a bigger contract in the market.

With this stalemate until the end, J.R. Smith could only give in as he did during the offseason.

So it can be said that Walken Dean's call came at the right time.

This gave JR another option.

But he didn't want to leave Anthony. He wanted to continue playing with his brother Anthony more than Karl.

"From a career perspective, I suggest you go to Brooklyn, where you have greater exposure and opportunities."

Although Rose is also Anthony's agent, as a big-name agent, he is still very professional.

Same contract, different stage, this is actually a good choice.

…

Las Vegas, summer league.

The Nets are about to face the Magic.

The head coach of the Nets is McMillan, but Karl is also here today.

Before the roster was finalized, Carr's son Coby Carr also joined the team.

Karl came to watch his son play and observe the new players on the team.

Before the game even started, he received a call from Walken Dean.
