Chapter 400 [Stable profit without loss, the lineup is determined]
At the end of August, the Nets made a ridiculous deal.|
Thorne tried his best to convince Sharif Abdu Rahim to join and find a powerful inside player.
Raheem is the 1993 Golden Generation Tanhua. He has stayed in three teams, namely the Vancouver Grizzlies, the Atlanta Hawks and the Portland Trail Blazers. He was selected as an All-Star. His career average technical statistics are 19.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, which is very dazzling.
However, in the past two seasons, his data has shown a downward trend, and the Trail Blazers seem to have lost their star aura.
Because the physical examination report said that Rahim had an injury to his right knee, the Nets dragged the signing ceremony that should have been announced early.
After several days of careful consideration, the Nets boss decided not to take risks anymore. In fact, Bruce has never been a person willing to take risks. Even if Raheem only needs 38 million in 6 years, he thinks it is too expensive.
With his stingy personality, how could the Nets get a strong inside line? Costic, who earns an annual salary of one million, plays as a starting player and spends four years, which is more in line with Bruce's values.
Rahim looks forward to joining a team with championship strength, and a physical examination report will ruin both sides' plans.
The abandoned Rahim joined the King to fill Weber's vacancy. The King's boss had no worries and was willing to spend money to achieve results.
The Nets eventually only introduced 76ers' power forward, veteran Mark Jackson.
This is a scattered inside player, and he is already at the age of retirement. He is not as good as the "White Mamba" poached by the Celtics. After leaving Wang Jun, the Nets' inside player strength also declined, and no one is optimistic about them anymore.
Nets boss Bruce breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to pay the luxury tax.
Back in New York, Wang Jun invited former teammates of the Nets to have a big meal together.
Carter and Kidd both regretted losing his good partner, but they also supported him to leave.
Everyone wants to go to a higher place, and no one has the right to stop it.
Jefferson hopes that Wang Jun will leave so that he can start firmly in the Nets and get more opportunities to perform, otherwise he will never become an All-Star.
Let’s talk about the online team’s deals. Everyone feels that there is no hope of winning the championship next season because Korver is leaving too.
The 76ers offered Korver a 5-year premium contract of 22 million yuan. The net team can choose to match, but it seems that they will not match. Because the boss thinks Korver is not worth such a big contract.
In order to get a stable pitcher, the 76ers were willing to go out and were very gambled.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Throughout the history of NBA, you can always find some teams. Betting success or failure on a free agent and signing the right player can send a team that is struggling to the playoffs or even the finals. If you accidentally get the wrong player, you can also cause a team to be seriously injured for a long time.
The Knicks' bet is even more powerful than the 76ers. They have a group of second-rate free agents on the Internet, hoping to achieve results with these people.
The Knicks chose to make a big deal with the Bulls.
After Wang Jun arrived, the Bulls' offensive center will be completely moved to the outside line, and Eddie Curry is no longer needed. The Knicks urgently need strong inside players. Curry underwent a heart test in the summer, and the results showed that there was no serious injury. You can continue playing.
Therefore, the Knicks decided to bet that Curry could become a super insider, ignored his obesity, reached an agreement with the Bulls, signed first and then exchanged. They actually offered Curry, who was 16+5, a 6-year, 56 million contract.
The high salary and the long term surprised Bulls President Paxson. If it were him, he would not dare to sign such a contract.
The Bulls sent Eddie Curry and Antonio Davis to exchange for high-paying and low-power three-point forward Tim Thomas from the New York Knicks, shooting guard Jermaine Jackson, first-round rookie David Lee, and the first-round draft pick in 2006, and the first-round pick in 2007. As well as the second-round draft pick in 2007 and 2009.
Both first-round draft picks are unprotected, which is why the Bulls are willing to take Thomas' two-year bad contract.
The Knicks general manager, "Assassin" Isaiah Thomas, is full of confidence in the team's future and believes that the transaction is stable and will not lose money.
The Knicks lineup does look very strong. Marbury and Crawford are in the backcourt and have a lot of attack power.
The small forward is a three-pointer Quentin Richardson, who is dug from the Suns, and can guarantee three-point firepower.
Curry partnered with rookie Channing Fry at the 8th pick, or Svetney at the 9th pick in 2003.
The role players also include blue-collar inside player Jerome James, Antonio Davis, Ariza from the outside, and 21 rookies Nate Robinson.
With such a strong starter and such a high-paying substitute, how could the Knicks not make it to the playoffs? The Assassin thinks that even without a coach, they are all strong teams. What's more, the Knicks signed the famous coach Larry Brown for 50 million in 5 years and 50 million.
The Bulls were not so happy. Paxson wanted Sweetney, the short insider who could be a meat shield, but Thomas firmly disagreed.
Thomas showed his cool and cool side and replied toughly to Paxson. "If you want to be an inside player, you can give David Lee at most. If you don't want to change it, the deal will be cancelled."
If the training camp is dragged to start, it will make the Knicks anxious, and the Bulls may get what they want. However, after Wang Jun arrived, the Bulls were eager to achieve results in the new season and were eager to spare their salary space.
David Lee has a bad defense in college and a poor record. He only played soy sauce twice in the championship and was eliminated in the first round, but he is a mid-range shot inside player with strong offense and weak defense.
Considering the team lacked an inside scorer, Paxson no longer delayed and agreed to the deal with it cruelly, reluctantly replacing David Lee.
Then, the Bulls renewed their contract with blue-collar insider Tyson Chandler for 75 million in six years, and the contract was very sincere.
They also signed a two-year contract with Kings Lithuanian free agent Dalius Sangela, 2.2 million in the first year and the next year's player option.
On the surface, this makes the players more free, making the management look very humane and generous. In fact, the increase in the salary of players, and jumping out of the contract may not be a bad thing for the team.
For example, Wang Jun's fifth year is also a player option, so he can choose to jump out and become a restricted libero, but the contract amount of 17.8 million in the last year is extremely high. If his work is not good, the Bulls will definitely want him to jump out.
Of course, this is much better than the team options. Team options mean that there is no guarantee. If players don’t play well, they will be cut in advance without any buyout fees.
At this point, the Bulls' lineup for the new season has been basically confirmed, and the Fringeman will choose one or two when playing preseason.
Center: Tyson Chandler, Marik Allen, David Lee.
Power forward: Tim Thomas, Osai Laharington, Dalius Sangela.
Small forwards: Lorden, Nosioni, Piakowski.
Scoring guard: Wang Jun.
Point guards: Generopago, Cocksinridge, Chris Duhon.
Wang Jun is the only one in the second position. Jackson, who was exchanged for the Knicks, was cut off. Adrian Griffin was poached by the Mavericks, and the Bulls had to help Wang Jun find a substitute.
If you don't have a substitute, it's not impossible to play, just make Hinrich a cameo appearance.
Chapter completed!
