Chapter 282 [Falling apart]

Wang Jun thinks it doesn't matter if he changes his boss. He is not familiar with the boss and can't have any good feelings. As long as he gives money, it doesn't matter who is the boss. ◆◆

One day later, Wang Jun could not remain calm.

As the saying goes, a new official takes three points of fire, and the new boss of the Nets team is particularly fierce.

The Nets reached a sign-on and then exchange agreement with the Denver Nuggets, sending Kenyon Martin, who won the Finals MVP, to Denver in exchange for three future round draft picks.

The three draft picks include the Nuggets' own round pick, and the one round pick they received from the Los Angeles Clippers and the Philadelphia Sixers in previous trades.

After the deal was announced, in order to calm Kidd and the fans' emotions, President Thorne made a statement.

"He is an excellent young player and we wish him success in the near future. This is an extremely difficult decision in the team's history. The biggest problem is the contract. From the first year's salary to the signing fee, it may affect our signing of strong free agents. Our current lineup has performed very well in the past few seasons, and our goal is still to win the championship.▲.ww.▼"

After Martin won the MVP in the finals, he wanted a maximum salary, which was at least a seven-year contract worth over $90,000. Denver did not need any adjustments to meet Martin's requirements, and the Nets were reluctant to let it go.

The management of the Nets always feels that Martin is overrated because of Kidd's cooperation, which is not worth that high contract.

But after letting Martin go, it is very difficult to find an inside line that is suitable for the team system and can attack and defend well. There is no suitable replacement in the free market.

The Nets actually received three future draft picks, and they are still protected.

This is to save money, God knows what roles he can choose.

After getting Martin, the Nuggets formed one of the most powerful inside combinations in the league. Martin will be in the power forward position, while the small forward and center position are Anthony and Camby respectively. In addition, the Nuggets may also allow Nene Camby to serve as a substitute in the center position.

The Nuggets have become a popular team from the bottom of the West.▲▲▼◆

The Nets' more crazy deal is at the back. Only two days later, Thorne exchanged shooting guard Kittles to the Clippers for a future second-round draft pick.

The Clippers originally wanted to poach Kobe with a high salary, but the Lakers kept Kobe and traded O'Neal. The Clippers had to choose other targets. A draft pick was profitable when they changed to Kittles.

Coach Dunleavy was so happy that he couldn't stop. The Clippers immediately announced that they would give up defender Quentin Richardson and were preparing to have a big fight in the new season.

The fans of the Nets were furious, and countless people were posting online to scold the new boss Bruce Ratner for being inhumane.

"The hero of winning the championship, Kitels, who dedicated his seven years of youth to the Nets, changed to a second round draft pick! Is the boss crazy or a brainless person?"

"Kidd should consider leaving the Nets. The lineup was not very good, but now it's worse. What's the future?"

“Is this a miracle to prepare to create a defending champion who misses the playoffs?”

"I'm curious about who will leave the team next. If Jefferson is traded, it will be completely helpless. ▼.ww.▲"

After sending away the two main players, the Nets signed a contract with free agents Jacque Vaughn and Rodney Buford.

Vaughan is 185cm tall and weighs 86 kilograms. Last season, he was the Hawks' substitute point guard, averaging 3.8 points and 2.7 assists per game. His shooting is extremely bad and he can only break through. His characteristics are that he is relatively strong and can play some roles in defense.

Buford was a marginal player of the Kings last season, with a height of 196cm, weighing 86 kilograms, and averaging 1.9 points or 7 rebounds per game. He didn't know what he wanted to do when he introduced this guy, his data was very poor, and he was not good at shooting.

Thorne was interviewed and said that the signing of the two was to fill the vacancy after Kittels and Martin left.

The fans are crazy.

Can this be filled with a claw?

This is like Athena Chu quit "A Chinese Odyssey", and the director said it's okay. ■ Let's find Sister Furong to replace him. Can the audience not worry about the Bull Demon King who wants to marry Zixia?

Then, the Nets refused to provide a contract to Rodney Rodgers, one of the important rotation players who won the championship. Rodney freely signed the Hornets.

The important three-pointer at the No. 4 position was let go in vain. Rodney's request was not good. He was willing to stay for 30,000 yuan.

Rucios Harris performed poorly in the playoffs, and the Nets traded him with the Cavaliers in exchange for 2o3cm power forward Eric Williams.

This was finally useful, but Eric and Martin were far behind.

Under the operation of the brain-dead management, the defending champion team fell apart in just one week, and the only ones that were very useful in the team were Jefferson, Wang Jun and Kidd.

Not long ago, Wang Jun was immersed in the joy of winning the championship, thinking that there was great hope for defending the title next season, but suddenly fell into boundless darkness.

He completely understood why people say that NBA is a commercial league, and players are like commodities. What kind of people the team uses and what lineup they form are all within the boss's thoughts.

The players feel insecure and don’t know when they will change teams, even if they don’t like the places they are going to.

Wang Jun called his teammates to say goodbye. Rodney, Martin, and Kittles all wished him to fight well, strive to become a star, and become an opponent in the future.

Martin joked, “Can your Mustang give me a gift?”

"Can you change someone else?"

"Haha, I'm just talking and playing, that's your love token. I'm richer than you and I don't need anything." Martin was in a good mood. With a ring, he was traded to a strong team and received a high salary. It was so perfect.

"Next time I meet you, if I misplace you, don't dunk on my head. I warn you, I'm a little move in the team, and you can dunk me, I'm not polite to be an opponent." Wang Jun smiled.

"You dare to threaten me, and then I will kill you." Martin laughed.

Three days later, another unfavorable news came out.

Kidd underwent knee repair surgery and definitely couldn't participate in the new season training camp.

Kidd's knee has been hurting, and the conservative treatment has not worked. He decided to have surgery after winning the championship and couldn't bear the pain to play. He would not return to the field until December this year at the earliest.

At this time, the fans understood why Kidd performed poorly in the playoffs and the Nets did not have many fast breaks, so the fans who scolded him began to change their senses.

As a result, the strength of the Nets has declined again, and it is difficult to defend the title in the new season.

Bruce keeps refreshing the lower limit of stinginess and does not grab the big names in the free market. The next signing is to introduce Serbian center Nenad Kostic, a four-year rookie contract worth $490,000, expires in the summer of 2oo8.

This 213cm big man, the 24th place in the first round of 2O2, was selected by the Nets. He is only logged in to the NBA now, and no one knows how good he is.

After signing for four years, it seems that I will be planning to use this person for a long time and will not sign a player.

At this point, the Nets fans were completely depressed.

Other teams competing for the championship are increasing their strength, but the Nets are pushing to rebuild. Except for Jordan's retired Bulls, they have never seen the defending champion take this path.
