Chapter 983 [If you can't beat it, just be a younger brother]

The King renewed Whiteside for 4 years and 98 million yuan, and "White Bian" won a high salary for himself with his actions. In the future, Gobert's rookie contract expires and 80% will be given up.

The same day, as the Mavericks signed a maximum salary of 94 million yuan with Harrison Barnes for four years. Cuban will definitely cry in the future. This is absolutely high salary and low ability. Barnes is just a role player.

With Lowry and Thompson attracting defense, Barnes can only score 117 points, 5 rebounds and 18 assists in the regular season. In order to poach him, the Mavericks did not renew Jeremy Lin's contract. They only look at their offensive ability. Barnes may not be better than Jeremy Lin.

In the playoffs, Barnes's data dropped to 9 points and 47 rebounds, played 31 minutes, and hit a 38% shooting percentage, which was simply too bad. He only scored 2 million 10 years ago.

The Mavericks will definitely not be competitive next season. Nowitzki's scoring efficiency is still there, and the defensive end is also a loophole.

The Pelicans renewed their contract with James Harden for 11.8 billion yuan in four years, with weak offense and defense.

Wade signed with the Bulls for 47.5 million in two years. Next season, the Bulls will be partnered with Rondo and Wade, and they can't shoot three-pointers, so they're drunk when they think about it.

The Trail Blazers renewed McClum early in 4 years and 10.6 billion yuan. Joe Johnson was called the worst contract, but now no matter what kind of cat and dog, it is a gentleman of 20 million.

McClum can only score points, and the defensive end of 191cm tall at No. 2 is a tragedy, and he is easily eaten by a strong defender.

James renewed his contract with the Cavaliers for 100 million yuan in three years. The contract in the previous two years allowed him to maximize his interests, but he was also labeled as a high salary and low energy.

Compared with Wang Jun and Curry, anyone who signs a big contract has high salaries and low salaries.

The Cavaliers' most cost-effective signing contract was to dig up JR Smith for 5 million a year. The "Nervous Knife" also came to win the championship with her legs. She signed a high-paying and long-term contract with the Knicks, which was very bad. After the transaction reached the Nuggets, she also failed to make a comeback.

His advantage is his excitement. He had a 40% three-point shooting percentage last season and averaged 66 shots per game to score 26.

JR Smith is very unlucky. He was called a high salary and low energy in New York. He was said to be a cancer in the Nuggets. Now the league's general salary is paid, and he gets a basic salary at the age of 31.

Smith thought about joining the King, but the King was not interested in his sloppy skills. He prefers people who are willing to defend and run according to the coach's arrangements.

The Kings' Covington was poached and signed with the Bucks for 52 million in four years. Skyles is optimistic about his three-point shooting ability. Covington doesn't play much in the playoffs, so he's a premium.

With the same annual salary, he is at least better than the Pelicans signing Hill. The Bucks are not in a good position and if they want to poach people, they can only get a high salary.

Both veterans, Stadamier and West, announced their retirement, and the Kings have vacated several positions.

Their first signed to Richard Jefferson, who averaged 55 points and 17 rebounds in the Cavaliers' regular season, shot 458% from the field and 382% from three-pointers. He performed relatively stablely, was able to play a guest role as a power forward, and started many games in the playoffs.

The second sign was still a swingman, giving Matt Barnes a basic salary.

Barnes is also 36 years old and has been teammates with Wang Jun at the Bulls. He wants to taste the taste of a championship again at the end of his career.

Last season, with the Grizzlies, he averaged 10 points, 55 rebounds and 21 assists per game. His scoring methods were mainly to catch and shoot outside the field, not take up the ball rights, and his rebounding efficiency was very high.

Barnes has changed several teams and has not faded out of the media's sight. He is a famous problematic player.

At the beginning of last season, the grudge between Barnes and Knicks coach Fisher made headlines.

Fisher appeared at his home in Barnes's wife Gloria in Los Angeles. It is reported that Fisher and Gloria have been dating for several months. Last March, Lao Yu and his wife who had been with him for ten years officially divorced. After settling in New York, this "good man" no longer had his wife and daughter.

When Matt Barnes learned that Fisher was at Gloria's home, he immediately drove 95 miles to Los Angeles and was about to pk with Fisher. In the end, he did not start a fight, but the police were attracted.

Fisher's reputation was completely bad. He didn't do a good job in the Knicks, so he and "Zen Master" Jackson went to New York to form a group to cheat money.

Ismail Smith renewed the contract with the Kings for 18 million in three years. After Brooks left, Curry must have a substitute, and the contract is not big.

On July 16, Durant finally announced his decision.

After the Thunder were eliminated last season, many people speculated that Durant was leaving and where he was going.

Experts believe that the Celtics, Lakers, Wizards, Rockets, Warriors may stay in the Thunder. In the end, Durant announced that he had joined the Kings.

Durant wore the uniform of the Western Conference rival Kings, which was unacceptable to Thunder fans. He signed a two-year contract with the Kings with a total value of $54.3 million, of which the second year was the player option.

Whether Durant is maximizing his interests next year for the 10-year veteran clause, or saving the country on the Thunder Curve after winning the championship, everyone was shocked.

Wang Jun, Durant and Curry form the super three giants. If Whiteside, who was selected as the All-Star, is the Big Four.

The Lakers have been working hard to convince Durant to join the Purple and Gold Army, and the recruitment has been declared a failure. Durant's decision will affect the Lakers' reconstruction work to a certain extent.

Hapostero, a senior contributor at espn, believes that Durant's joining the Kings is a correct decision, and there is no need to pay attention to those rumors. Look at James' previous departure from the Cavaliers to the Kings, isn't it just to win the championship? Durant's decision is now like this, in order to win the championship.

Barkley was very disapproving of Durant's move to join the King.

"I was disappointed, just like seeing LeBron go to the Kings." Barkley said: "Kevin is an excellent player and a good boy; from a competitive perspective, I was disappointed because he weakened the strength of a team and turned to join an outstanding team. From a mentality, they can't be his younger brother just because they can't beat Wang Jun!"

There are some great players in NBA history who have never won the championship, and Barkley is one of them. He believes that without the championship ring will not affect the player's historical status!

"Someone always says, 'Hey man, you didn't win a championship, you're a waste." Barkley smiled and said, "I don't think I'm a waste. I'm sure Patrick Ewing, Carl Malone and John Stockton, we all think we're great. We can actually win a championship by joining forces, but only the new generation of players will have the pressure to win because everyone wants to win."

Durant's decision has attracted countless criticism, time waits for no one, and he has to make such a bad decision for money.

Wang Jun welcomes Durant to join. The Kings' lineup is obviously stronger than last season. A series of transactions have been completed, and the Kings' total salary next season is 97.45 million.

After passing the salary cap, there is no need to pay luxury taxes. The 14-person lineup is as follows.

Center: Whiteside, Gobert, Sabonis.

Power forwards: Patterson, Amino, Jefferson.

Small forwards: Carol, Durant, Carter.

Scoring guards: Wang Jun, Barnes, Wilcox.

Point guard: Curry, Ismail Smith.

During the preseason, the Kings can also inspect the players and sign individuals to strengthen the No. 1 or No. 4 position. Even if they don’t sign, there is nothing to stop the Kings from winning three consecutive championships.
