  Chapter 1067 Chapter 1067. The two fat guys who left the west

  The Trail Blazers won the championship again, and the darkest age is coming again!

  G4 of the Finals between the Trail Blazers and the Raptors has just ended. In the first second, the news that the Trail Blazers swept the championship was sent out immediately.

   When it was 3 to 0, the major media had already written the news.

  Anyone can see that Milicic has become a soft-footed shrimp facing the Trail Blazers.

Regardless of how well he played in the Eastern Conference, how coquettish he was in the face of Big Z, Ben Wallace, Jamison, Josh Smith, Yao Ming, Millsap... just because of this trip to the finals, Milicic's reputation also plummeted.

  After the game, the news trend was two-praise every star of the Trail Blazers; step on Milicic.

   Stepping on Milicic is tantamount to praising Artest, and Artest has been touted again.

   Artest led the team to the finals as soon as he came to the Raptors.

  Regarding the term 'the best active player', domestic media and European media immediately published related news.

   There is no doubt that Liu Xiu has surpassed O'Neal in the number of championships and FMVPs.

  The American media also gave such an evaluation in the end, but they were slow, twitchy, and used words like 'no comparison'.

  As the American basketball league, a foreigner has not only become the strongest player in the active game, but even in terms of honor, in just a few years, he has surpassed those veteran superstars who have played for more than ten years.

In the modern basketball era, there have been two similar players, one nicknamed Magician, who won 5 championships in 12 years, and was only 32 years old when he retired. He just played a season with an average of 19.7 points, 7 rebounds and 12.5 assists per game. In the finals, for a point guard with delicate skills and a huge body, the peak period of relying on technology may have just begun.

Another nickname is the God of Basketball. Not counting the second-year season reimbursement, he only played a few games, and when he was 31 years old, he came back and played a dozen games. In the season, he won 6 championships.

  Compared to players with long careers such as O'Neal, Malone, Stockton, Payton, etc., these two are even more legendary.

   Now, there is another such player!

   And he is even more exaggerated than these two!

  When Liu Xiu did not completely surpass all active players, the American media seldom mentioned this matter.

   Really surpassed, they still don't want to accept this fact, even if they usually surround Liu Xiu all day long, relying on Liu Xiu for food.

  However, no matter how unwilling they are to accept this kind of thing, they can only accept it, and they will eventually get used to it...

  After winning the championship, Paul Allen frantically threw coins, allowing the team to have a good time for a few days.

   Just because Liu Xiu said, "The roses are blooming again", he spent money to put roses on the main road in downtown Portland.

   A posture that will not give up until the money earned in this year's playoffs is spent.

   Money is spent on the people of his own team, Liu Xiu is not a pain in the ass... But John Nash is in pain, covering the main road in downtown Portland with roses. Is this a way people came up with to celebrate?

   When the hustle and bustle finally dissipated, after the championship parade, the tourists left, the media left, the Rose Garden Arena and Willamette Garden Training Hall became more deserted than usual.

  On June 25th, when Liu Xiu came to the Willamedy Garden training hall, she was a little bit embarrassed. Except for the rookies who came to the trial training and the reporters who came to watch the draft trial training, there were not many people watching.

  There is contrast, there is contrast, and there is exclamation.

   But the sigh is the sigh, he thinks this is good, he likes to be lively, but it will be annoying if it is always lively, it is noisy for a while, it is time to take a break and enjoy the holiday.

  Liu Xiu entered the training ground where she was undergoing trial training, causing bursts of cheers and screams.

  He looked around, saw a lot of impressive faces, waved to everyone, said nothing, and went straight to the coach's office.

  After he entered, the coaching staff directly handed him a stack of screened trial materials.

   The day after tomorrow is the draft, and today is their last trial training for the Trail Blazers.

  In fact, everything that can be tested has already been tested. The advantage of having two arenas is that they can conduct the most complete trial training just like non-playoff teams.

A 30th pick in the first round, a 30th pick in the second round, and two draft picks. The coaching staff screened out such a large number of names and dumped the blame on Liu Xiu, asking Liu Xiu to come up with an idea who to choose, which made Liu Xiu Xiu is also a pain in the ass.

  Looking at those names...he exclaimed that it really deserves to be in 2009!

DeMarre Carroll, DeJuan Blair, Tony Douglas, Taj Gibson, Dante Cunningham, Sam Young, Jonas Jerebko, Judy Meeks… And new NCAA Basketball Tournament Final Four MOP Wayne Ellington...

  The Trail Blazers only had a mere 30th pick in the first round, yet they have attracted so many talented forwards and defenders for trial training!

   And these, most of them have the opportunity to choose at will!

  Because there are still a lot of talents with higher draft expectations.

Griffin, Thabeet, Harden, Evans, Rubio, Jonny Flynn, Curry, Jordan Hill, DeRozan, Jennings, Terrence Williams, Hansbu Rue, Jeff Teague…

  Those top talents don’t have to think about it, and there is still a lot of water.

  Think about what is in front of you first.

   There are three directions for reinforcements, center, striker, and backup point guard. Shooting guards include Ray Allen, Korver, and Novak. They are the most stable, so don't worry.

  But the center... In the 2009 class, he had an impression of the center, Thabeet and Blair. The latter was not bad.

   Don't think too much about the center position, Birdman and Gasol are both very useful.

  Then focus on the front line and point guard line. If the 30th pick in the second round, you can only gamble on luck. Whoever falls into the list of names given by the coaching staff at that time is the right candidate. Don't worry about whether it is suitable or not.

  Liu Xiu took a pen and wrote down her opinions.

  Forward line, point guard line, and then divided into combat power and potential.

  Simple classification, just choose according to your needs.

   Two days passed, and on the 27th, the NBA ushered in a new draft.

  Liu Xiu’s family has arrived in Los Angeles this morning. There is nothing to do this summer. It’s a good time to improve. During the offseason, stars like to come to Los Angeles to play. It’s also convenient for him to find someone to train with.

  He has used 6 talent fragments to replace 'Maimang' with 'Late Bloom'.

  Now'Maimang' can only be used when playing against the Spurs, but it won't be wasted. That facial paralysis will have to be dealt with for several years.

  "Talent: a late bloomer, the host has successfully extended the growth period, and will have more time to reach the upper limit of the basic skills and technical talents.

  Bonus effect: Healing value can be consumed to buy a talent limit breakthrough card, breaking through the good level, 10,000 healing value; breaking through the excellent level, 50,000 healing value; breaking through the first-class level, 100,000 healing value; breaking through the top level, 200,000 healing value. "

   Just one word, expensive!

   In the future, we will have to reduce the lottery draw and save healing points to buy talent limit breakthrough cards.

Fortunately, in terms of physical fitness, except that the explosive power is still at 89, every other aspect is at least at the top level. Don’t be so entangled. It is already difficult to improve the physical fitness. If you have the opportunity to complete the task and get the attribute card, you can improve it. The healing value is mainly used Break through the upper limit of basic skills and technology!

  Currently, in terms of basic shooting skills, the mid-range shot has reached 94, which is the top limit. If you want to break through the top, you will get 200,000 healing points.

  Winning the championship + FMVP, he got the highest healing value reward of 100,000. He currently holds 347,721 healing points and can break through immediately.

   But he is not in a hurry. His main goal this summer is to increase the three-pointer.

   Not to mention how long the extended growth period will be extended. The primary goal of the extended growth period is not to 'break through the upper limit', but to 'extend' the time for rapid progress.

  In the past year, he has clearly felt that his progress has slowed down. Some of it is not that his talent has reached the upper limit of the slowdown, but that his age has reached the solidified muscle memory, and his progress has naturally slowed down.

  This is similar to the fact that you can't make progress when you are in your 30s?

   Of course not, the difference is the input-output ratio.

It is better to devote the limited growth period to the top-notch CIC. It is better to invest in faster progress such as three-pointers and drop shots...Of course, the premise for him to make such a decision is that the CIC has reached 94. level.

  Even if you count the "featured" players, there are probably only one in the entire NBA who is better than him in the mid-range shot.

   At 8 o'clock in the evening, the draft began.

  The Clippers, holding the No. 1 pick, took Griffin away without any suspense, leaving no possibility for the lucky Thunder.

   Prioritize the inside line, and the Kings, holding the second pick, selected Thabeet.

   Liu Xiu felt that Thabeet was miserable. Going to the Kings was no different from going to the Grizzlies!

  The Kings will not train newcomers.

  But if you go to the Kings, you can at least get playing time. In the original time and space, the Grizzlies had Gasol Jr., and Oden here, and Thabeet would not have a chance.

   Arriving at Tanhuaxiu, Liu Xiu became curious.

  The logo man joined the Timberwolves, and immediately found the crux of the Timberwolves' start collapse. He changed back to Blake and saved the Timberwolves.

   After that, the logo man officially became the talker behind the Timberwolves. Trades and drafts have become his talk, and his salary is higher than that of the general manager and the head coach.

  The logo man is optimistic about Curry. This is what Liu Xiu knows. In the original time and space, Curry wanted to join the Knicks. The logo man and old Nelson combined and forcibly snatched him back.

   So here, will the logo man holding the No. 3 lottery choose Curry?

  But Curry has no ability to control the field. What Roy, Luol Deng, and Gasol need is a leader who controls the rhythm, not a scoring point guard.

  The Timberwolves may also choose a tough insider. In addition to Griffin and Thabeet, the rookie who predicts the lottery area also has Jordan Hill.

  Jordan + Hill, just looking at the name makes people feel very talented.

  3 minutes passed quickly, and David Stern re-entered the court and read the name of the player selected by the Timberwolves—"... Tyreke Evans!"

Rose's junior, just finished his freshman season, broke the Memphis University rookie scoring record held by Rose, set a single-season steal record in team history held by Rose, 9 NCAA Rookie of the Week, set a new record for Adam -The historical record set by Morrison in his freshman season. After the freshman season, he lost to Griffin by 6 votes and ranked second in the Wooden Award.

  The logo man did not force Curry, but chose the stable point guard that Roy needs!

   But as far as the head coach of the Timberwolves, Kurt Rambis, is he capable of coaching this group of players?

   But it has nothing to do with him.

   Harden was selected by the Thunder with the 4th pick, and Liu Xiu mourned for the future king.

  The Thunder management can do it, but it’s just the draft...

   Hey, wait!

He suddenly remembered one thing. Last season seemed to be the "first season in team history" of the Thunder. They did not recognize the record of the Supersonics. They "disbanded the team" instead of changing their name and moving, otherwise they would not be able to do without Seattle. , written in the contract.

  But in the information submitted by the Thunder to the league, it is written that there is 1 championship.

  People who don’t know may think that the Thunder team is the championship in the season just ended when they see the Thunder team information!

  Convex

  David Stern came to the stage again, brought the Grizzlies draft envelope, and read the Grizzlies' pick—“…Steph Curry!”

Liu Xiu was neither surprised nor surprised when the Timberwolves chose Evans. With Roy, a stable point guard is the best choice. There are many talented point guards in the lottery this year, but the one who can be called stable is Egypt. Vince and Rubio.

It is rumored that Rubio's contract with La Liga still has two seasons left, and the liquidated damages are sky-high. It is equivalent to an annual salary of seven or eight million dollars in Minneapolis.

  Then the logo man only needs to be steady and rush to achieve results immediately, so he must choose Evans.

  But when the Grizzlies chose Curry, Liu Xiu was shocked!

   But after the shock, he suddenly remembered that the man with the logo didn't go to the Warriors, and the mad scientist might not be interested in Curry at all. It is probably not as attractive to him as Jennings, who has a similar style of play to Ellis.

   And the Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace is the disciple of the logo man.

  In the original time and space, the Grizzlies would definitely not want to use the second pick to pick Curry, but Thabeet is a big center! He averaged 10 points, 8 rebounds and 4.2 blocks per game for three years in college, and was the best defensive player in the Big East for two consecutive years. He looked like Mutombo.

   But here is the 5th overall pick. Chris Wallace chooses Curry, which is more reasonable than the Warriors choose Curry.

However, Curry, Conley, Mayo...Thanks to the Grizzlies sending Lowry to the Rockets, not to mention adding trouble to the Mavericks' first round, it also avoided the four talented point guards playing mahjong after Curry was selected. embarrassing situation.

   Steady Conley, Mayo whose reputation is higher than talent and strength, and rookie Mayo. From 2007 to 2009, the Grizzlies selected three point guards in a row. Liu Xiu felt interesting.

   But Curry was forced to smile when he came on stage, Memphis... he doesn't like big **** like Harden.

  The Bucks selected Ricky Rubio with the sixth overall pick.

   The Warriors selected Jennings with the 7th overall pick.

  Liu Xiu did not expect to make a random guess, but in terms of style of play, it is indeed the type that Nelson likes to choose.

  From the 3rd overall pick to the 7th overall pick, five consecutive point guards were selected at high positions, and the 8th overall pick is finally not a point guard.

   The Nets selected graduate Terrence Williams with the 8th overall pick, and the Pacers selected North Carolina genius Tyler Hansbrough with the 9th overall pick.

  The 10th pick, the Bobcats' pick, the top five pick protection, was traded out before, went round and round to the Hornets, chose Darren Collison, a little upset.

   With the 11th overall pick, Liu Xiu’s younger brother, Jonny Flynn, was selected by the Timberwolves.

   This point guard Liu Xiu knew that when he invited college coach Boyheim to watch the final game of the regular season, the other party introduced him to be a master of chaos.

  The Timberwolves bench is indeed short of a chaotic player. The "sixth man chaotic point guard" started by Little Flying Squirrel has swept the league.

   With the 12th pick, the 76ers chose Zhu Holiday, and with the 13th pick, the Suns chose 'Odom Jr.' Earl Clark.

   With the 14th pick, the Timberwolves selected Jordan Hill, who almost fell out of the lottery.

  The tall man with a seemingly talented name cried in the little green room.

  Some media gave him the highest predicted pick as a No. 3 pick, who was selected by the Timberwolves.

  The Timberwolves did pick him, but it was the last pick in the lottery.

   At the 15th pick, another sad person stepped onto the stage, and the Jazz selected DeMar DeRozan.

  Liu Xiu feels that Xiaopao's life in this time and space is really good!

   Made the playoffs and got reduced to a talented shooting guard projected to be a top-10 pick.

  The most elite group of players has almost been selected, but there are really many talented point guards this year, and the Nuggets will select Lawson, and the Eagles will select Jeff Teague...

Even Wayne Ellington was selected by the Timberwolves with the 28th overall pick. The Spurs' first-round pick was sent to the Timberwolves. They changed 3 second rounds. A Timberwolves picked 11th in the second round this year One is the second round pick of the Timberwolves next year, and the other is the second round pick of the Kings next year.

  Liu Xiu didn't notice it before, but now he finds out that the Spurs have no control over big deals, and micromanagement is really amazing.

  He analyzed it from the perspective of the Timberwolves-logo man strengthened the protection of the point guard position when the core lineup has been determined. With the steady Evans, he chose the chaotic Flynn.

  The last guarantee is Wayne Ellington, an older rookie who is quite charismatic in the North Carolina team although he is not well-known.

  The Spurs judged the idea of ​​the logo man, came up with such an operation, and made a lot of money.

  Why didn't John Nash think of making such a deal in the past?

   Forget it, John Nash did not make mistakes anyway, he was obedient.

   With the 29th pick, the Lakers selected Tony Douglas and then sent him to the Knicks in exchange for the 211-centimeter inside player Jared Jeffries.

   At the 30th pick, Liu Xiu was shocked. Which one would their prison team choose?

  Three minutes later, David Stern gave the answer—"...Dante Cunningham from Villanova University."

A senior graduate with three-point ability and good defensive ability. During the trial training, he has enough speed to defend against three and enough strength to defend against four. It is very rare. With a body size of 203 cm and 100 kg, he can switch to position 2 or 5 when necessary No. bit.

  This candidate is the favorite of the big dog.

  After he helped the coaching staff classify the group of candidates for the draft last time, after discussing with the coaching staff and the management, it was finally determined that immediate combat power was required.

  Then Cunningham, Blair, Jerebko, Beaubois and others are the most preferred.

In fact, the best performer in the trial training was Marcus Thornton, the cousin of Al Thornton who is currently playing for the Clippers. I have squatted in the game, so I didn't choose.

  After choosing Cunningham, Liu Xiu had no interest. She went to play two turrets, and when she returned to the living room to watch TV, it was already the end.

When Patrick Mills was selected by the Spurs with the draft rights of the Timberwolves and Danny Green was selected by the Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers sold the 30th pick in the second round to the Heat for $300,000 knife.

   If there is nothing to miss, just sell it for some money, otherwise John Nash is worried that he will be randomly selected by the boss again.

   Not afraid of being angry with the big dog, he just scolded a few words. He had already selected the Cunningham he wanted, which satisfied his draft desire.

  In the end, the Heat selected Robert Dozier with the 30th pick in the second round, and the 2009 draft ended.

   2007, 2008, 2009, these three geniuses are all here!

  In Liu Xiu's impression, in the next ten years or so in the NBA, this group of people will stir up the league.

   This generation of players will be as good as the Pan-96 generation.

   There is Pan 96 in the front and Pan 09 in the back. He suddenly felt that Lao Zhan in the original time and space was really difficult.

  03 generation is not old yet! Pan 09 generation has come!

   But he is very excited personally, the Pan-96 generation, he has suppressed, and the next Pan-09 generation, he is ready to meet the challenge!

  …

  After the draft, Liu Xiu began to prepare for the next business activities. The endorsement fee of tens of millions of dollars a year is not for nothing. If you get a lot, you will have a lot of work.

   But if you get more money from the hook, you can further reduce some work with less money and more work. In general, you have more rest time.

   On June 30, the NBA officially held a regular meeting of the bosses and passed a very important new regulation-the revised version of the maximum salary for designated veterans.

The old version of the maximum salary clause for the designated veteran: a player who has played for 7 years and has the bird rights, the parent team renews the contract, the starting salary of the new contract can reach 30%, and the starting salary of the new contract can reach 35% when the player reaches 11 years %.

  Restrictions: 1. A team has one and only one quota. When the team has a player who has been traded back with a designated veteran contract, the next contract cannot be signed.

  2. Signing first and then changing, and free agent joining, cannot trigger the designated veteran clause.

  An example is that Ray Allen joined the Trail Blazers. He was less than 11 years old at the time, and his starting salary was at the level of 25% of the salary cap.

  In the original time and space, the Heat were 361, and the three had long-term starting salaries. Only Bosh was 25% of the salary cap, and the other two were below 25% of the salary cap.

   When the four of them changed teams, they had all reached 7 years of age, and both James and Bosh were signed.

  In the revised version, free agents are still not allowed, but it is okay to sign first and then change, as long as there is no designated veteran contract in the team.

Moreover, when a team's salary is below the salary cap, if the team has a designated veteran maximum salary player who is not signed by himself after being traded, he can also sign a designated veteran maximum salary for his team's player who has bird rights and meets the ball age. salary contract.

When Liu Xiu saw this new regulation, it was very different from the new regulations of the Joke Era in his impression. The Joke Era raised the 7-year maximum salary to 35% of the salary cap. It can only be used by changing teams.

   Now this is a bit different, probably it will be changed by a joke in the future.

  The purpose seems to be the same. The league is balancing the strength of each team, aiming to help weak teams get stars and successfully renew stars.

   There is a certain possibility that teams with many stars can lose stars...

   In this year when the $20 million salary is the highest salary, this rule still works.

But in a few years, after the signing of the new broadcast contract takes effect, Conley’s five-year 150 million contract will become a super-value contract. If the contract reaches that level, the difference is 5% or 10%. There will really be a lot People are willing to 'sacrifice'.

   While slandering the new regulations of ‘short lifespan’, Liu Xiu received a call from the butcher, and after chatting for a few words, he scolded the street...

   It was night, and the warden, the butcher, and the outlaws gathered in a tavern on the banks of the Willamette River.

  It was here that the seven members of Rose Bay had their first dinner date.

  Now there are only three brothers left... No, there will be two brothers soon...

   Butcher decided to leave the team!

   Originally, Randolph still hesitated. If the salary was similar, he might be willing to accept staying in the team.

   But after the new rules came out, he decided to regain his dream of becoming the boss...in fact, to get more money.

At first, Liu Xiu wanted to persuade him, but after chatting with his family and Bill Duffy, he remembered that in the middle of last season, Randolph complained after he was injured that he didn't like the new style of play, but he was injured. The picture of him continuing to work hard for the contract year after recovery... People want money first when they play basketball!

   Moreover, Randolph has won 4 championships, and his desire for money must be deeper.

  So, when the three of them got together, after Randolph explained the matter in detail, Liu Xiu didn't persuade him, but asked him where he wanted to go, and helped him refer.

  Compared to Liu Xiu, outlaws are more accepting of teammates, even if they are butchers... Anyway, the warden is still there!

  By noon the next day, the league announced a new salary cap—$63.72 million.

  Economic and financial crisis, the income of the NBA is still rising!

  Liu Xiu felt that it was because of him and Yao Ming...he was confident in making such a judgment, because the net profit of their Prison team had almost caught up with the Knicks.

  John Nash kindly plugged the boss in the curtain call and the playoffs crazy ticket giving operation, otherwise it is really possible to win the Knicks.

This salary cap, 30% of the starting salary is 19.116 million US dollars, the total salary of the 6-year contract will exceed 140 million US dollars, surpassing Kobe’s 7-year 136 million largest contract in NBA history... He put himself in his place and thought it would be Lando Husband, can't refuse such a big contract.

  Even if the starting salary is 30% of the salary cap of 60 million dollars last season, the total salary in 6 years is more than 130 million dollars.

  However, Liu Xiu thinks that the most important thing is to change the team's style of play!

  He ignored it before, Randolph can play fast, but may not like to play fast.

  Maybe it was because of his teammate friendship, he was used to sacrifice, or maybe it was because he had to perform well no matter what in the contract year to get a big contract, and Randolph didn't refuse...

  In the afternoon, Liu Xiu received a call from the team. Randolph and Bill Duffy had notified the management that they would test the free market.

Liu Xiu has already got a super contract with 35% of the starting salary of the salary cap. Unless Liu Xiu is sent away, he will not be able to sign such a contract. The starting salary of 25% of the salary cap is more than 300% different from the starting salary of 30% of the salary cap. Ten thousand.

  However, if Randolph wants to get a big contract of more than 140 million US dollars in 6 years, the prerequisite is to sign and replace, so their prison team can still get some returns.

  As expected by Liu Xiu, for the No. 1 inside player of the four championships, Gou Dahu asked the management to meet Randolph's requirements as much as possible, so that he can go to the team he wants to go to.

  Sometimes, he really hopes that the big dog will not be so generous.

   After the news spread that Randolph was testing the waters of the free market to seek a big contract, it directly detonated the free market!

  The price tag of 145 million U.S. dollars in 6 years is surprisingly expensive, but there are still many teams flocking to it.

   At the pinnacle, 4 championships in 5 years, a core insider, a skilled power forward with enough possessions to easily average 20+10 per game, so tempting.

  Liu Xiu chatted with the team about the direction of the desired return.

  Quality role players in their prime, seasoned veterans who fit their team, plus draft picks.

   It is naturally best to be able to replace the striker star alone.

  After that, he didn't care about this matter, sad, let's work!

  Work makes people forget their troubles.

  Liu Xiu left Los Angeles and went to Europe to do promotional activities.

  In addition to him, many people in the Trail Blazers also feel sad. Randolph has been in this team for 8 years, the longest among the current Trail Blazers players.

  If Randolph ran away without winning the championship, he would be cast aside by his old teammates.

   But he left after 5 years and 4 championships, and his teammates were more sad.

   And nobody sees anything wrong with Randolph chasing big contracts...

   But not everyone is sad.

  The little sister-in-law got up immediately after hearing the news!

lose weight!

  He wants to lose weight!

  …

  Randolph detonated the free market, and public opinion was flying everywhere, which may have stimulated some people's nerves.

  July 3rd, the third day of the free market, a confusing deal happened...

  The Suns and the Cavaliers reached a deal, sending O'Neal, and getting Ben Wallace, Pavnovich, a future second-round pick from the Cavaliers, and $2 million in cash.

  The Cavaliers formed the Shark King combination and became a new focus.

  O'Neal played the No. 1 center in the Western Conference before the All-Star weekend last season, beating Kwame Brown, Bynum and others to become the All-Star starter.

  If O'Neal can continue the performance of last season in the new season, why can't the Cavaliers break through the Eastern Conference?

The other team that was traded, the Suns, did not receive particularly bad reviews. Ben Wallace is fast, defensive, and able to run and play. Now that he has decided to play and run again, it is right not to keep O’Neal. of.

  But that night, the evaluation of the Suns was pulled down to the extreme.

  The Suns waived Ben Wallace…

  Liu Xiu, who was having dinner with his second apprentice in Barcelona, ​​had question marks in his head when he heard about the Suns' operation.

  Ben Wallace still has a salary of more than 31 million US dollars for two years.

  Since it is going to be cut, why not cut O'Neal directly? O'Neal's contract year next season will be worth $20 million.

  Liu Xiu asked Bill Duffy, and the answer he got was that Steve Kerr might be trying to protect O'Neal's face.

   This really made him not know how to complain.

   To put it simply, Cole didn't want to offend O'Neal, and used the Suns owner's money to maintain his relationship with O'Neal.

  When the team owner opens a bank?

  Liu Xiu checked on the Internet, the boss of the Suns with racism and misogyny is indeed the owner of the bank...

  How can he say this, he is very good.

   Randolph detonated the free market, and the Sharks went east again. In the end, the focus of people's attention turned out to be that the Suns waived Ben Wallace and spent more than 10 million yuan... He really didn't expect this direction.

  In the next few days, the hot news is that Ben Wallace returned to the Pistons with a basic salary, and Iverson returned to the 76ers with a two-year middle class after the collapse of the Nuggets.

  After Liu Xiu finished her European tour, she returned to China, and after a few promotional activities, she ended her three-week commercial activities in late July.

  A lot of things have happened to the team recently. Donyell Marshall did not renew his contract. After getting the ring with his thigh in his hands, he chose to retire and found a job as a trainer at his alma mater.

  Hill used the early bird right to renew his contract for 3 years for 8.1 million dollars, as if he wanted to spend his life in Portland.

  But Michael Pietrus rejected the 3-year 15.9 million dollar contract and accepted the Magic team's offer of 15 million dollars in 3 years.

   When it was decided to leave, Pietrus called Liu Xiu, who was in the same class, and explained that he wanted to get more playing time. The year of winning the championship was very happy, and Liu Xiu also sent blessings.

  Bird jumped out of the contract after the draft, but successfully completed the contract extension. The starting salary was 4 million US dollars, and the total of 8.5 million US dollars in two years was a lot higher than the original salary.

  Mark Jackson left the team, no longer continued to serve as the team's trainee coach, and became the new coach of the Timberwolves.

   Liu Xiu was wondering if the head coach of the Timberwolves could handle their group of geniuses, but the guy with the logo turned his attention to them!

   It is said that the goal of the man with the logo was not Mark Jackson, but Shuai.

   But the Timberwolves had less money and more work, and the coach directly refused. He stayed in the Trail Blazers to get a head coach salary and work as an assistant coach.

  Mark Jackson, who was used as a spare tire, went...

  However, Liu Xiu remembers that the logo man only took a fancy to Mark Jackson's tactical theory, mainly for the creation of a new era defensive system.

   Moreover, Mark Jackson is also a person with a strong desire to control. When he has no conditions, he will pretend to be a grandson. When he has the right to speak, he will start to fight for power with the logo man.

   The departure of free agents and the change of the coaching staff are almost done. Liu Xiu didn't expect that the Randolph deal he thought would be completed the fastest, but procrastinated.

   I heard that it was Randolph who fell into a difficult choice.

  If only one or two teams give him $145 million, he can just pick a team he likes more.

   But there are as many as nine teams that are eager to get him, some of them have space, and some of them start trading to make room as long as he nods.

   This made the butcher fat and tangled, he couldn't even eat, and lost more than half a catty in a month.

   I struggled to the end, and even came up with the idea of ​​returning to the prison team and continuing to play without changing teams...

   Liu Xiu didn’t put pressure on Randolph. After receiving relatives for a few days with his family in the BJ’s old home at the end of July, on August 1, he left his hometown for Los Angeles with his family who had returned to China for a month’s vacation.

   Next, start training!

  At noon on August 2, US time, not long after he arrived at his home in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, he received an email from the team and a call from Randolph.

  The deal is done! Butcher's next stop—Atlanta!

  The Eagles sent Mike Bibby, Maurice Evans, two first-round unprotected picks in 2010 and 2012, and got Zach Randolph from the Trail Blazers.

   Randolph, who just turned 28 in mid-July, started with a salary of $19.11 million and joined the Eagles for a total of $145 million in six years!
