No matter how famous Kidd is when he is a player, he is always a "bringing seed" as a coach after retirement. If he doesn't come up, he will sign a big contract.

Petri gave Kidd a 3+1 contract, and the last year was the team option, with a total amount of $10.5 million.

Kidd was very satisfied. His treatment was something that many coaches would never dare to imagine for their entire lives. It was so smooth.

For example, "Gorilla" Ewing has been an assistant coach for many years and often makes statements that he wants to be the head coach. However, many years have passed, no matter how he kneels down, he still cannot get a head coach seat.

McHale has been a manager for many years. As a legendary superstar, he has only earned more than one million yuan as the head coach.

Look at Tyron Lu, who is in the Zen Master Department for many years, still can only be an assistant teacher. How many years have Bryan Shaw struggled to calculate, and he has not yet proved himself in the Nuggets.

Kidd just arrived at the Kings and won the championship with his thighs. After retiring, he turned around and became the team's head coach, which would make countless retired players envious.

Kidd had a good bet, which was to win over Wang Jun and establish good relationships. Wang Jun liked to work with acquaintances and could waste a lot of brain cells. Kidd was not afraid of wasting brain cells. What he wanted now was not money, but power.

On July 21, an amazing deal appeared in the league.

The Thunder reached an agreement with the Spurs to send Lamarcus Aldridge to the Spurs in exchange for Gary Neil, Nando DeColo, and Aaron Baynes, two unprotected first-round picks and one second-round pick.

The Thunder wanted Neal to lead the second team to attack and add a three-point shooting point, which was a good combat power. Second-year rookie De Krolo can strengthen the No. 1 position. Baynes entered the NBA in a non-draft pick, with a height of 208cm and a 118kg meat shield-shaped inside line, and has a good body shape.

The biggest feature of these three is that they are "cheap", which allows the Thunder to avoid luxury taxes. For this reason, they do not want Spurs' high-paid players to trade chips, even if they have the strength.

The Rockets are also chasing Ade. Morey is willing to send the starting center Asik who scored 10.1 points and 11.7 rebounds last season, and the Thunder manager happily refused.

The annual salary of Asik was only 5 million in the first two years, but it would become 15 million in the third year. This is an authentic poison contract, so Thunder is unwilling to be a sucker.

Therefore, the Rockets' maximum salary signing Howard looks beautiful, but it will actually make Asik turn from a baby into a waste and can only be a substitute for "Warcraft". Instead of chasing Howard, the Rockets would have been better off grabbing Millsap in the free market, or trade directly to Aldridge for the actual situation.

In this way, the new players and Asik complement each other, not overlap. Unfortunately, Morey is a good person to analyze data and settle accounts. He doesn't understand basketball.

Now, other teams can start prices and wait for the Rockets to sell Asik at a low price.

Asik is very capable, snatching 11.7 rebounds in 30 minutes of playing time. Just looking at the efficiency of controlling rebounds, the league can rank in the top ten. If such a person averages only 20 minutes per game and is a substitute, it is a huge waste.

Split and the Spurs have always been very tangled in the renewal of contract, hoping to get a tens of millions of annual salary. After introducing Ade, the Spurs immediately gave up on the Brazilian center and went wherever they like.

The role players are really high for tens of millions, and Split does not have the potential bonus of age. More performances on the court require Ginobili and Parker to drive them, and the premium is very suspicious.

The two teams may be insider trading. The Thunder "assisted" the already powerful Spurs in the West, which makes people unable to understand. The two teams are direct competitors.

Stern did not comment on the deal, and the bosses of other teams did not come out to clamor. The other 29 teams did not want to see the Kings continue to win the championship.

The Spurs will start next season with Duncan, Adr, Leonard, Green, Parker, and substitutes, Ginobili, Dior and Belinelli, and lead the offense, and it seems that they can compete with the Kings.

Split waited for a week and joined the Bulls for 36 million in four years. The Bulls did not have a meat shield center, which is a good choice and is considered a big name in the free market.

On July 22, the Magic sent out second-tier rookie Nellens Noel, and replaced 76ers star point guard Ju Holliday.

The 76ers traded as soon as they developed a good point guard. Noel Magic, who was originally the most popular No. 1 pick, didn't want it anymore, which made people a little confused.

The truth is that the managers of both teams are not good things. The Magic found that Noel was likely to miss his entire rookie season due to slow recovery from his knee injury. The 76ers concealed Holliday's leg injury, which is the change of the patient.

At the end of July, another big news broke out, not a transaction, but a retirement.

Yao Ming personally announced the end of his sports career at the press conference at the Kerry Hotel in Pudong, Shanghai.

Ten days ago, a reporter revealed that Yao Ming decided to retire. In ten days, people who care about Yao Ming had all kinds of speculations and thoughts.

When Yao Ming stood in front of everyone, all the questions had a clear answer with his words: "I want to announce a personal decision today. As a basketball player, I will end my athletic career and officially retire."

Without being beaten by the Clippers or holding their legs to compete for the championship, Yao Ming made his own choice.

He was injured many times, physically and mentally exhausted. He could last for a few years if he could hold on, but the injury took away the possibility of him reaching the top again. Yao Ming was reluctant but said himself: "It's time to close a door and open a new door."

In any case, as a super center who has been selected for many All-Stars, he has left his own footprints in the NBA.

Many fans who want to see Wang Jun and Yao Ming join forces feel very regretful. They are waiting for Yao Ming to join the King after being beaten.

The fans think too simply, and later joining requires the team to "bidge", and the King may not be able to win the bid.

Long before the press conference began, the entire scene was filled with a sad atmosphere. Many female reporters who had followed Yao Ming for many years had their eyes red. Even Yao Ming, who was like a man, was a little excited during the press conference. Yao Ming at the press conference seemed very solemn. After walking off the stage, he still revealed unconcealed sadness.

A photographer caught him accidentally, Yao Ming wiped his eyes with a tissue after he stepped off the stage. Although he didn't see Yao Ming crying, what is certain is that something was already flashing in Yao Ming's eyes.

Wang Jun did not return to China, so he called Yao Ming to wish him a smooth success as the boss of the Shanghai team.

Yao Ming staged a classic emoticon package on the other end of the phone. Since taking over the Shanghai team, he has lost tens of millions and has been reported by the news, which is a bit embarrassing.

Wang Jun rarely reads domestic news and does not know that most of the CBA teams lose money.

What else can you say when Guangdong is losing money? The most you really make money is 100 or 20 million a year, and maybe you will accompany you next year. The money you earn is worth billions, and most of them are just a hair, such as Sun Guangxin.

Why do you still have to do it if you can’t make money? Like basketball can be considered a reason, and the most important thing is the advertising effect.

The boss does not rely on the team to make money. Don’t afford to lose money. It is the most important thing to ask for money from the main business and to open up ZF and bank connections. Yao Ming has connections, but his business value does not decrease, so he can make money in other aspects.

It is difficult for Wang Jun to develop his business acumen in this life, but he has made a lot of money with his friends. In the Chinese sports world, his status as the number one "money printing machine" is unshakable.
