Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 818 Crazy free agent market

The withdrawal of the Mavericks affected Jiang Mingliang's original plan, but the team left Carter at the back line. In the case of JR Smith, it is not a bad thing for Dinwiddie to stay on the team. After all, with a height of 198, he does not have too much pressure to take the second position.

The focus of the team is still on Durant.

Harden posted a photo with Durant on social media. Durant praised Harden's ins. At one point, it was rumored that Durant would join the 76ers. However, when he turned his head, the media re-reported that Durant Te returned to Los Angeles to start negotiations with the Clippers.

The eyes of NBA fans all over the world are focused on Durant. James made a big news quietly at this time. He posted his decision on social media: "I'm going home!"

"Before nobody cared where I played, I was a kid from Northeast Ohio. This is where I walked out, this is where I ran, this is where I cried, this is where I bleed , it will always have a special place in my heart. My connection to Northeast Ohio State is bigger than basketball, and I didn’t realize that six years ago, and I do now.”

"I always thought I was going to come back to Cleveland to finish my career, I just didn't know when. After the season, I didn't even think about being a free agent. But I had three kids, so I Starting to think about what it would be like to have my family live in my hometown? I look at other teams, but I’m not leaving Philly for anywhere but Cleveland. The more time I get, the more I It just feels more and more true."

"I've met Gilbert, face to face, man to man, we've talked. Everyone makes mistakes, I've made mistakes too, so I have no reason to hold a grudge."

"When I left Cleveland, I was on a mission. I was chasing a championship, and now I have two championship rings."

In an instant, the news of James' "going home" detonated the entire social platform, and Cavaliers owner Gilbert also responded on social media, "Welcome back, James. I feel for the fans and people of Cleveland and Ohio Happy, no one deserves a championship more than them."

At this moment, the Cavaliers have formally formed a combination of James + Kyrie Irving + Andrew Wiggins + Anthony Bennett. Throughout the history of the NBA, only the Lakers have had the "four champions combination" twice. . Of course, considering Bennett's attributes of parallel imports, if this incident happened to other people, it might not be made a big deal at all, but James, he is really different. Any record related to him can bring traffic.

After getting James, how big a threat is the Cavaliers to the Nets? First of all, they have James who has fought against the Nets for the longest time in the league. Secondly, Irving is a star point guard who can exchange with Curry at certain times, and TT is the league's best insider who is good at big defense and small defense. At the same time, the Cavaliers also have a good bench lineup. Redick is one of the top shooters in the league. With James, he may be able to perform better. Although Crawford lives up to the courage of the super sixth man back then, his shooting ability Also very strong.

On the contrary, Wiggins and Jordan Jr. don't seem to adapt to James' system in terms of play. The former's shooting is unstable, while the latter occupies the restricted area, and there is no way to open up space for James. On the second day after James returned to the Cavaliers, there were rumors about the Cavaliers' affair with Griffin and Bill.

"OK, OK, good." Just when everyone was surprised by James' choice, Jiang Mingliang also learned some news through some of his relationships, and then called Ruling Thomas to start a relationship with Joe Johnson Contract negotiation.

"Don't we have to wait for news from KD?" Thomas wondered. There is no news that Durant has made a decision not to come to the Nets.

"Durant will stay with the Clippers. Ballmer has done a lot of actions outside the rules, and Durant can get more money than in the contract." As a big touch in the financial market, Ballmer recently Some actions of Jiang Mingliang were noticed by Jiang Mingliang. Some actions seemed incomprehensible, but some things can be understood after thinking about it in depth. This is why Jiang Mingliang began to operate other signing matters.

As the boss, it's not surprising that Jiang Mingliang got the news faster than Thomas. Thomas felt a little regretful, but soon contacted Joe Johnson to discuss the contract in detail.

24 million in 2 years, a fully guaranteed contract, the veteran who is about to turn 35 announced that he has joined the "Veteran's Grave" Nets and will fight for the championship next season.

For the Nets, this is a very safe signing. First, the team still has the salary space to sign Durant. If Jiang Mingliang is wrong in the financial market and Ballmer and Durant and their relatives do not have a py deal, at least the Nets still have salary space to eat. Durant. As for the defects caused by building the lineup in this way, I will slowly make up for it in the later stage.

The biggest advantage of Joe Johnson, a veteran player, is his versatility. He was able to hold up the situation as the main attacker during the Celtics period. It is no problem to play a support for Thomas Jr. When he comes to the Nets, he can play as a starter under the right circumstances. It is also suitable to play without the ball in addition to being slower, and it is not a problem to play the role of the sixth man well by using your personal ability as a substitute. The worst result of this signing is that the two parties are not suitable, and there will be no garbage contract.

The reason why Joe Johnson chose the Nets is also very simple. So far, the contract offered by the Nets is one of the largest. value.

Joe Johnson, a player, has always had a clear purpose, and everything depends on money. When the money is in place, everything is easy to talk about.

Joe Johnson's signing with the Nets basically deprived JR Smith of the possibility of staying with the team. However, as an important firepower for the Nets in the finals and a hero for winning the championship, JR has no worries about chasing buyers at all. Among them, the development of rich salary space The Boston Celtics and next season's Eastern Conference Finals contender Bucks are the most enthusiastic.

For the Bucks, Antetokounmpo's attributes are defensive. On the offensive end, the team really needs JR's firepower to open the situation. Compared with Middleton, he is better at shooting, and there are almost no skill packages such as breakthroughs. As a former super sixth man, Jr has a lot of comprehensive offensive methods and is suitable as a supplement for the Bucks.

Another core member of the team, Paul, also caused this signing. He believes that this is a transcendence of the ebb and flow of the Nets. The Bucks are stronger, the Nets have lost a very suitable main player, and the lineup has also weakened to a certain extent. Paul personally called jr, with emotion and reason, and finally moved the other party, and successfully persuaded jr to join the Bucks with a three-year contract of 51 million.

With an annual salary of 17 million, this is the largest contract Jr has received in his career. To be able to get such a contract, on the one hand, of course, I have to thank the current environment. After all, most players’ salaries have benefited from the salary space, which has increased by 50%. On the other hand, I have to thank the Nets for their magic last season. Performance. 74 wins + championship, this definitely helped jr increase his contract amount.

In fact, if it wasn't for jr's poor reputation before, it wasn't until the Nets were revived, and many teams didn't have confidence in his professional ethics, he could have gotten a bigger contract and hit 2000. Everything is not a problem.

Jr Smith's 3-year 51 million contract is really conscientious enough this summer. In contrast, Jordan's 5-year 124 million US dollar contract for last season's team hero Batum shocked everyone in the league. Although he has the reputation of Pippen in France, Batum is just a second-tier small forward in the league. He has never been in the top five at the same position. For a player who is more practical, he won a huge contract of 124 million U.S. dollars for five years, but it is not practical at all.

Joe's boss really has a big problem in management. Such a huge bad contract is destructive to the competitiveness of the team.

The Trail Blazers failed in the jr competition, and then signed with Turner with a 4-year 70 million contract to strengthen the team's strength on the wing position, hoping to help the team boss Lillard. From the perspective of playing style, Turner can hold the ball, play back, and has the ability to organize passes. He can match Lillard, but in terms of actual effect, it is not very optimistic.

And the bigger news is yet to come. The Grizzlies officially announced that the team's main point guard Mike Conley renewed his contract with the team with a five-year 153 million contract, which completely detonated the free agent market this summer. This is also the first huge contract in NBA history to break through 150 million US dollars.

Relatively speaking, it is understandable for the Grizzlies to offer Conley a huge contract extension. Firstly, Conley’s last contract amount was low, and 45 million in five years is relatively cheap compared to his role in the team, which is a bit of compensation. He has made great achievements for the team, and he is among the best in the team history assists list and steals list. When the five-year contract is fulfilled, he will basically take over the honor of the team history scoring leader, although this is a pile of years of service. Yes, but it is definitely a real honor in the history of the Grizzlies.

The outside world has mixed opinions on the huge contract given to Conley by the Grizzlies. They think that the Grizzlies have lost too much blood. In his position, he will also choose to renew his contract with Conley.

The 29-year-old Conley is a player with excellent professional ethics. He has no habit of drinking, taking drugs, or going to nightclubs. He also controls his diet in life. Such players can generally maintain their career status for a long time. If he renews his contract, the team doesn't need to worry about being in this position for the next five years. More importantly, buying bones with a lot of money is also of great benefit to uniting the cohesion of the rest of the team.

Rather than squandering money on other people this summer, it is better to give enough respect to the core of the team and the legends of the team.
