NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 1182 Different changes, absolute confidence

Latest website: On the first day after the free market opened, big deals followed one after another, which was dizzying.

July has passed in a flash, and on August 1st, they thought the situation last month would be better, but they didn't expect that August had just begun, and two consecutive big news made them unable to sit still.

Many fans already feel that their hearts can't bear it!

Kyrie Irving, the core of the Cavaliers' backcourt, submitted a trade request to the management and was resolute. The Cavaliers management has to put it on the shelf and explore its value in the trading market.

It is reported that the Xia family teams that Irving wants to go to are the Lakers, Celtics, Bucks, Heat, and Nets.

Immediately afterwards, DeMarcus Cousins, the Cavaliers' starting center last season, also submitted a trade request to the management. The next teams he wants to go to include the Lakers, Celtics, Knicks, and Clippers. , Bucks, Nets, etc.

The biggest concern for the management of each team has emerged. The players who have appeared on the free market before are basically in the contract year or already free agents, but the likes of Irving and Cousins ​​have about two years left on their contracts. This is the first time that I have asked management for a deal.

After this wave of operations by Irving and Cousins, it is estimated that many people will rush to follow suit.

This time, the entire alliance will become a mess.

But the happiest people at this time are the Lakers fans.

Because the next teams designated by Irving and Cousins ​​both include the Lakers.

"Come on, come on, come to the bowl, Irving + Kobe + Sister-in-law + Cousins, add someone at the 3rd position who can shoot three-pointers and provide some defense. This lineup is enough to bring the Purple and Gold Army back to its peak. Got it!"

"I declare—the Lakers championship!"

"Erwin, please use your magic quickly to get them all to Angel City!"

…

After August 1, the number of Lakers fans queuing up at the hospital obviously increased.

The two All-Stars Irving and Cousins ​​suddenly publicly "expressed their love" for the Lakers, which ignited a storm of public opinion.

However, their situations are similar, and it is difficult to get results in a short period of time, which is destined to put fans in the hospital.

Just as the fans were waiting for the final result, the Mosaic team's strong signings immediately attracted the attention of the entire league.

After continuous pursuit and negotiation, the Mosaic team management reached a signing agreement with Gordon Hayward, who gave up the player option for the 2017-18 season in his contract this summer and chose to become a completely free agent.

It is reported that the contract lasts for 4 years and is worth 128 million yuan.

The Houston Mosaic team formed the Big Three lineup of Harden + Hayward + Anthony!

This news shocked the alliance.

Although Harden has fallen in the Western Conference semifinals year after year and has been criticized by many people, the current number one shooting guard and the best team are real.

After Anthony arrived at the Mosaic team, he chose to transition to off-the-ball, which was questioned by fans at first, but later he proved himself, and after the transition, he is still one of the top five small forwards in the league.

Now there is another versatile wing Gordon Hayward, who averaged 21.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1 steal last season. The Mosaic team has strengthened to a purely epic level!

Especially the Space City fans were almost climaxing on the spot!

Orsi called Wang Zelin immediately, informed him of the deal, and expressed his view: The Mosaic team is likely to become another strong resistance for the Trail Blazers on their way to the championship next season.

Wang Zelin was also very surprised after hearing the news.

Compared with the fact that the Mosaic team formed the Big Three combination of Harden + Hayward + Anthony, what really surprised him was when the Mosaic team actually changed its past tradition of being picky and so-so and was willing to pay the luxury tax?

You know, Harden just recently reached a 6-year, 228 million yuan early contract extension with the Mosaics. Anthony's 5-year, 129 million yuan maximum salary extension with the Knicks in 2014 still has one season left.

Now Hayward is being offered a four-year contract worth over RMB 100 million, which means the Mosaic team will have to pay luxury tax next season!

For other teams, if they want to win the championship, they must pay the luxury tax. This is basically an acceptable thing.

But when it comes to the Mosaic team, this is a bit abnormal...

It seems that this team has not paid the shooter tax a few times in its history, right? It is rare to make an exception this time?

In fact, what Wang Zelin doesn't know is that with the riots in the free market this summer, Harden's heart has been ready to move. After all, he and someone also have a championship heart, but here in the West, there are Trail Blazers and Warriors. With two big mountains, even with Anthony by his side, it would be difficult for him to realize his championship dream.

Therefore, Harden also came up with the idea of ​​leaving the Mosaic team during this trip.

Knowing this news, the Mosaic team owner and management were shocked.

When Harden was acquired through a trade with the Thunder, his original intention was to create a backcourt core with an All-Star ceiling. Who would have thought that he would enter and accidentally hit the big prize? Harden has now become the strongest shooting guard in active service, ranking among the top ten in the league. Super huge!

Whether you want to make a breakthrough in the playoffs or consider it from the perspective of selling tickets, the influence of a super giant on a team is inestimable.

Therefore, in order to retain Harden, under the persuasion of the Mosaic team management, the Mosaic team owner promised: As long as Harden renews his contract with the Mosaic team, he guarantees to pay for an All-Star player in this year's trading market. Strengthen the Mosaic team's championship potential next season.

With the commitment from the team owner and management, and Harden's life in Houston has been pretty good in recent years, especially Houston's nightclubs, which are famous throughout the United States...

Ahem, under the dual temptation of a super maximum salary and promised reinforcements, Harden agreed to renew his contract with the Mosaic team.

And then there is this shocking deal!

Historically, Hayward chose to go to the Celtics in the 2017-18 season. Unexpectedly, in the away match in the opening game of the new season, Hayward, who scored 2 points and 1 rebound in 5 minutes, retired due to injury. Later he was diagnosed with ankle dislocation + tibia fracture.

Then...it was canceled for the season!

Hayward, who has just reached his peak at the age of 27 and had a great future, completely changed his entire career because of this season reimbursement.

Now that he has been traded to the Mosaic team, I don't know what kind of sparks he will create with Harden and Anthony next season.

While chatting with Orsi, Wang Zelin mentioned to him a player that not many people care about now:

Fred VanVleet!

This is a very magical player. He was nicknamed Fan Jordan by the majority of fans in the original time and space, and he played a huge role in the Raptors' future championship.

But if you don’t know this person well, you probably won’t know that he was actually the undrafted pick in the 2016 draft last season, but was not selected by the team. Fortunately, he was appreciated by Bolenas, and the Raptors finally signed him. He signed a two-year basic salary contract worth 1.45 million yuan, of which the 2016-17 season is partially guaranteed and the 2017-18 season is unguaranteed.

Don't look at this guy's mediocre performance now, but when his identity changes to that of a father, he will immediately transform from an unknown person into the Fan Jordan who can turn the tide!

VanVleet is still in the wretched stage of development. If the Trail Blazers intercept him, he will be a very good choice to play the No. 1 position in the rotation next season.

The reason why I suddenly thought of Van Fleet was mainly because Olshey said something to Wang Zelin on the phone just now.

Since Batum was poached by the Hornets, many teams have been swinging shovels wildly, hoping to continue to dig deeper into the Trail Blazers' existing dynasty team.

In addition to Wang Zelin, who is not for sale, many team managements send people to contact the four main players Lillard, Jokic, Aldridge, and Barton every day, including Beverley and Connie in the rotation. Te Li, Yi Jianlian, Harrell, Zubac and others have also won the favor of countless teams.

There is no way, the current lineup of the Trail Blazers, from the main players to the players, is too good. Even the youngest Harrell and Zubac have gone through the baptism of championship experience and proved themselves on the high-level stage. How could other teams not love it?

According to the news Orsi received, the main players are very determined to stay with the Trail Blazers, but many people in the rotation are already ready to move.

For example, Beverley and Connet Lee both signed contracts with the team in the summer of 2015 and expired in 2018.

Again, the NBA is a business league after all!

Role players are not like superstars like Wang Zelin who pursue historical status.

The new season is their contract year, and under the temptation of money from the outside world, they are starting to make moves.

The Blazers now have to prepare for a rainy day, so Wang Zelin thought of this amazing man Van Fleet.

"Fred VanVleet? Okay, I understand. I'll go negotiate with the Raptors right now."

On the other end of the phone, after Orsi heard the name, he racked his brains crazily but still couldn't find any information. However, out of his absolute confidence in Wang Zelin, he immediately nodded and agreed to the deal and was ready to discuss it with the Raptors. .

After hanging up the phone, Wang Zelin's emotions were indescribably complicated.

I didn't expect that the NBA would undergo such a big change because of the arrival of my little butterfly. I don't know whether this change is good or bad.

However, he was only confused for 2.5 seconds before firming up his mind.

In his previous life, team-building was prevalent in the league, and the clustering of super teams everywhere was obviously not conducive to the development of the NBA. He believed that his choice was right.

Wang Zelin doesn't like the Big Three, and it's not just because he doesn't like to work together. He is more worried about the future of the alliance.

The Big Three need to get along, whether it is the Big Three of the Celtics in 2007, the Big Three of the Heat in 2010, or the Big Three of the Cavaliers and the Big Three of the Lakers that are about to fall apart, or the newly formed Big Three of the Thunder and the Big Three of Mosaic. Problems will occur during the running-in process.

Crazy accumulation of stars usually results in 1+1+1 less than 3!

Because everyone is a super player, someone must sacrifice the ball and status. After the sacrifice, you will lose not only personal data, but also real economic benefits, that is, Daole!

The NBA is a business league, and it is natural for players to earn money by playing and will always be ranked first. It doesn't matter, they can't lose their money.

So no matter how gimmick the team-up is, in the end they will end up with the egg shells blown by the wind.

To put it more bluntly, this kind of behavior is to quench thirst and seek quick success!

Of course, Wang Zelin does not object because the Trail Blazers are already strong enough. With him in charge, Lillard will definitely stay. As long as he can get one of Aldridge and Jokic, he will still have the confidence to lead the Trail Blazers. Successfully defended the title.

If both of them can stay, that would be best.

If the team can maintain dominance for a long time, he will naturally not stop it.

At the same time, the most important thing is that he has absolute confidence in his own strength.

After all, without Jordan, Pippen may not necessarily grow into the Pippen that people remember, but without Pippen, Jordan is still the omnipotent **** of basketball.

No matter what changes are taking place in the NBA, he firmly believes that he will be the one who laughs in the end!

In addition, there is another saying - if you want to destroy a person, let him expand first!

At present, the NBA's team-building trend has experienced unprecedented expansion. In just one month, multiple Big Three super teams have been formed.

When this clumping phenomenon expands to a certain point, the bubble will burst one day!

Wang Zelin believes that this day will not come too far away.

And he also thought that next season he would lead the Blazers to defeat these super teams one by one and finally win the championship again, and he couldn't help but tremble all over his body...

This is a sign that his body is extremely excited!

Whether they are veteran superstars, contemporary stars, or future superstar embryos, he will suppress them all next season. He wants everyone to become the backdrop for his fifth championship and become his road to surpassing Jordan. stepping stone.

August 3rd.

There are two more big news coming from the free market.

The Bucks were willing to send Middleton, the team's second-best player, in order to compete for Irving, which allowed the Cavaliers and Bucks to move forward quickly.

Middleton is a top wing trained by the Bucks. Although he is only a second-round pick, his scoring average has exceeded double digits since his second year as a rookie. In the 2015-16 season, he was able to average 18.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.2 rebounds per game. An all-around performance with assists and 1.7 steals.

Although his scoring data declined last season due to injuries as he only played 29 games, several other data remain the same, and his offensive efficiency has improved.

Such an active top wing is full of temptation for the Cavaliers.

And most importantly, Middleton's defense is top-notch, and his current five-year, $70 million contract is only in the third year. This deal is a bargain.

Since James, Irving, and Cousins ​​have successively announced that they are leaving Cleveland, even if the fans in this city are loving, no matter how angry they are, they have to face a cruel fact, that is-the Cavaliers must face the problem of reconstruction next season. Got it!

At this time, being able to get a player like Middleton who is both offensive and defensive and extremely cost-effective will give the Cavaliers ample salary space, which will help them find a real team core in the future.

It's just that Irving himself has some regrets about this, because he is a loyal fan of Kobe. It can be said that he grew up watching Kobe play, and naturally looks forward to one day being able to go to Angel City to play with his idol. UU read books www.uukanshu.com

However, the Bucks are also a good target. The Bucks' star Antetokounmpo showed his potential as a superstar last season, and his style of play complements that of Irving. Being able to play with such a strong teammate makes Irving very happy. happy.

Another news is about Cousins' ownership.

The Cavaliers finally chose to reach a deal with the Lakers. The trading chip for the Lakers' comeback was the first-round draft picks in the next three years. Together with some good role players such as Nick Young and Lu Wei, Cousins ​​​​succeeded in getting the City of Angels!

Emmm, this two-party deal is full of Lakers tradition.

I don’t know if the City of Angels really has some mysterious temptation for the center superstar. With the arrival of Cousins, this is no longer the first time in history that he first grew up in other teams and was finally traded to the Lakers. The center is a superstar.

Lakers fans are very happy about the conclusion of this deal, because the smell is really too strong.
