I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 357: The harassing NBA free market!

In the summer of 2005, because the Bobcats ran out of all 15 contracts very early, and the team had no plans to lay off staff, they completed the summer operations early.

After finishing the summer operation, the Bobcats entered into the state of watching the sea when the wind was surging.

Chen Xiao began to find a place to live in Charlotte, and Michael Jordan started the summer league journey with these rookies of the Bobcats this year.

As the greatest player in NBA history, the chosen son of NBA general manager position, the head coach of the Bobcats, Michael Jordan, is basically in a state of empty lanes.

A ‘Michael Jordan’s whirlwind’ blew up in the NBA Summer League for a while.

Jordan brought his assistants Dale Curry and Stephen Cole to the summer league side without mentioning it.

Just talk about Chen Xiao's side.

Because Chen Xiao is going to stay in Charlotte for a long time this time, and will bring her son here soon, so, it's really not just to find a place to live in Charlotte.

There is no need to invest or anything. The key is to live comfortably. Fortunately, compared to New York, Charlotte’s housing prices are really the difference between drizzle and the sea. Chen Xiao’s current income can be casually in the real estate market here. Kill indiscriminately.

While Chen Xiao was looking for another home in the United States for himself, the 2005 NBA summer free market was constantly advancing.

On July 21, the Minnesota Timberwolves announced a peaceful breakup with the team's head coach Sanders, and the Timberwolves head coach Sanders was invited by the Pistons to become the head coach the next day after breaking up with the Timberwolves peacefully.

Sanders is very dissatisfied with the team's trade in Kassel and the abandonment of Sprewell.

These two are the key to the Timberwolves reaching the finals in 2004.

Although the performance of the two in the finals is average, if the Timberwolves do not have these two, they would basically not be competitive even in the West.

But really, Sanders is still too harsh on the Timberwolves.

Sprewell did not give up on the initiative of the Timberwolves.

As a person from New York, Sprewell had no sense of belonging to Minnesota.

It is really not easy for you to make Shanghainese feel belonging to Hegang. Without money, why should they stay in Hegang?

The Timberwolves simply couldn't give the huge salary Sprewell expected.

How could the Timberwolves commit the salary lockup a few years ago?

The Timberwolves felt that their contract to Sprewell was sincere, but this sincerity was not enough to make Sprewell condescend, so separation is really inevitable.

The alien Russell is indeed a Timberwolves problem.

Russell suffered a lot of injuries last season. Although the strength is good, the contract is still too big. The Timberwolves want to clear all these big contracts.

In this case, the Timberwolves used Russellga a first-round draft pick from the Clippers in exchange for backup shooting guard Caron Butler, who was not reused in the Clippers.

Speaking of Caron Butler, this rookie in the same class as Chen Xiao and Yao Ming Wade is really miserable.

In history, Butler was selected by the Heat with the tenth overall pick, and then the Heat, who was short of major players, was immediately reused. In his rookie season, he averaged 15 points per game. This is really good, not to mention it. Brush, this data is played by rookies, what can you blame?

But because of Chen Xiao and Wade's butterfly effect, the Heat certainly look down on Butler.

In the end, Butler was acquired by the Clippers with a draft pick.

The Heat in history is definitely not as good as the Clippers in 2002, but in terms of hiring, the Heat have Pat Riley, and Pat Riley is really not black in terms of hiring. You have the strength and potential, for sure. Will use you.

But in the Clippers, the Clippers these days have been really chaotic.

And because they want to catch up with the Lakers, the Clippers are still typical of arrogance these years, and the average rookies really don't use it.

In the end, Butler has not been able to soar in the heat like history.

Of course, there is no sinking.

After all, the strength is there. The Clippers averaged 10.2 points per game in 29 minutes per game last season. This data is actually okay.

After all, it's the old cat Mobley's substitute, it's really good to be able to play this data as a substitute.

The potential is still recognized, so the Timberwolves will need a first-round pick and an All-Star like Cassel to be able to trade for the Clippers, who was the Western Conference All-Star last season.

It's hard to say who lost and who earned the trade between Cassell and Butler. The Clippers got their much-needed perimeter leader All-Star, and the Timberwolves also got a good future.

But for Sanders, the Timberwolves coach who has tasted the finals, he does not want to accompany the Timberwolves to rebuild. He is not Garnett. He does not have the spirit of the Wolf King waiting to rise again.

On July 28, after Sanders, the head coach of the Finals, went to the Pistons, another head coach change occurred in the NBA.

That is the NBA coach, Larry Brown, who played the worst performance in history with the Dream Six team in the 2004 Olympics, is back again.

To be honest, when the Dream Six team lost so badly in 2004, Larry Brown was really considered a professional career and his basketball career had been cut off.

To be honest, Larry Brown's performance in 2004, the NBA was boxed by Rasheed, and the Olympics was violently beaten by the world's strong teams. At the time, it seemed that he was really not suitable for the head coach of the NBA.

But one year later, when things began to fade away in 2004, Larry Brown relied on his super connections to return to the NBA stage again and was invited by the New York Knicks to become the team’s leader. coach.

To be honest, there are not many teams in the entire NBA that use Larry Brown with ‘greatness’, and the New York Knicks are definitely one of them.

After all, the Knicks in recent years are really weird!

However, it is not incomprehensible for the New York Knicks to invite Larry Brown over.

After all, there is really nothing more appropriate than Larry Brown to govern the army and change the Knicks' stigma.

Of course, that is the pinnacle of Larry Brown, now Larry Brown, is there still prestige to rule the army?

This is going to be a question mark.

But for the New York management, anyway, a dead horse becomes a living doctor.

The money has been spent so much, the salary is more than twice that of the annual championship, but he can't even make the playoffs, and the money is not even loud. Who can stand this?

In this way, Larry Brown was resurrected by the Knicks with great fanfare.

After the Knicks returned to Larry Brown, Chen Xiao, who was looking for a house, was asked what he thought of this.

Chen Xiao just said lightly: "I think many people will look forward to the game against the Knicks next season."

Well, the return of Larry Brown definitely made Meng Liu's group of stars who were pitted by Larry Brown found a goal.

The New York Knicks game will be lively next season.

At the very least, Xiao Tiantian, Xiaotai and others will definitely not let the Knicks go.

Take a moment of silence.

Larry among the people and Bogut among the beasts, both of them will be tested next season.

August 2, 2005, this day, for the NBA, is definitely a day that can be recorded in history.

On this day, five teams including the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and Boston Celtics completed a huge deal involving 13 people.

The Miami Heat sent the team's star small forward Odom, and won star point guard White Chocolate from the Lakers and small forward Antoine Walker from the Celtics.

On the Lakers side, Odom got the Heat.

The Celtics and other teams are either getting draft picks or getting some expiring contracts or young players.

And the most irritating in this deal is Danny Angie.

In the second half of last season, in order to cope with Pierce's emotions, he traded Walker back, and now he trades Walker away. This is simply inserted and inserted in Pierce's heart.

As the general manager of a team, Danny Ainge is no one who doesn't care about the team's idea of ​​being a player.

It should be said that in Danny Anji's mind, Pierce may be as light as a feather.

Almost on the same day, after the Lakers acquired Odom, they immediately announced a peaceful breakup with the team's coach Byron Scott and issued a statement thanking Byron Scott for his contribution to the Lakers.

At the same time, the Lakers announced the return of the team's former head coach, Phil Jackson.

Phil Jackson enters the palace for the second time at the Los Angeles Lakers!

For a while, the entire NBA was shocked by this news.

In Los Angeles, as the current star power forward of the Los Angeles Lakers, Boozer's face is really resentful.

Boss Kee is gone, Pug is gone, and now even Coach Scott is gone.

He is the only one left in the Lakers' Nets department.

It should be said that the current Lakers don't have any Nets at all.

Boozer felt that his future was a bit worrying.

Because he can feel that he is definitely not the power forward Phil Jackson likes.

In fact, Boozer's guess is really accurate.

Byron Scott, who resigned from the "Peace" of the Lakers, announced that he had joined the New Orleans Hornets two hours after Phil Jackson took over the Lakers.

To be honest, as the champion coach Byron Scott is also at the level of casual killing in the NBA.

After becoming the head coach of the Hornets, the Hornets initiated a trade application to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Hornets used the team’s boss last season to compete with one of the culprits of the civil unrest, Byron Davis, and the team’s backup power forward David Weiss. Specially traded for the Lakers' All-Star power forward Boozer for chips.

Byron Davis averaged 18.9 points and 7 assists per game last season. David West averaged 6 points and 4 rebounds per game. Boozer averaged 20.1 points and 11.7 rebounds per game. The point is that Carlos Boozer is Two-time NBA All-Star, championship, the league's popular power forward, and a direct line of Byron Scott.

Byron Davis is good, and the current trade value is not great. David West is used to balance the position of the Lakers. The Lakers have left the main power forward. You have to send a backup power forward in the past to prevent them from playing in the game. No one is available at the forward position.

Therefore, the subjects of this transaction are Byron Scott and Boozer. To be honest, if the Lakers hadn't traded for white chocolate now, they would really not be interested in Byron Scott's bargaining chip.

In fact, in history, Byron Davis was sent to the Warriors, it was simply the price of cabbage, and the X5 chip was not as good as the current Boozer.

However, in the end this deal was reached, and the New Orleans Hornets also accepted some of the junk contracts from the Lakers in this deal.

Of course, if these junk contracts are not accepted, the transaction will not match.

So, the key is that Phil Jackson really doesn't like a power forward like Boozer.

After all, in the 2003 Finals, Phil Jackson was the one who grabbed Boozer's defense, and he didn't want his team to be caught in the same way.

In this way, the Los Angeles Lakers began a new era on August 2nd.

Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Byron Davis, David West...and Phil Jackson.

At the same time, on August 2nd, the Grizzlies and the King completed a deal. The King sent Bobby Jackson and Ostertag to the Grizzlies in exchange for Bunch Wells.

At the same time, on this day, the Minnesota Timberwolves, who had cleared their contract, announced the signing of the Wizards' free agent Larry Hughes.

In history, Larry Hughes went to the Cavaliers, but now the Cavaliers obviously have no interest in Larry Hughes.

After leaving the Wizards to join the Timberwolves, Larry Hughes was asked in an interview why he wanted to go to the Timberwolves. Larry Hughes said: "This is not a question of money. It is a question of my personal future. I was in last season. The Wizards played very well. I averaged more than 22 points per game, but I don’t think it’s all I have. I think I can be better. I want to tell the world that I am not only good at attacking, but also good at defending. , I need someone to guide me on the offensive and defensive road further, Kwame told me that Kevin is such a person, I came to Timberwolves because of Kevin!"

It is worth mentioning that Larry Hughes was the steal leader last season.

In history, last season, Larry Hughes was a defender and steals leader. He averaged 22 points per game. He said that offense and defense are all right.

Because of Chen Xiao's reasons, coupled with Arenas going to the Spurs, these butterfly effects made him not get the honor he deserved last season.

Now he has a firm foothold in the NBA and has become a star. Money is no shortage for him. He wants to get higher recognition.

And Kwame Brown told him that Garnett could make him stronger.

Therefore, he really didn't come to the Timberwolves for money. For him, it was a salary cut.

At the same time, on this day, facing the pursuit of the entire NBA, the Cavaliers star power forward and championship player, Raheem announced his retirement.

Although Raheem is not as popular as other star players after his contract expires, there are also many teams interested in him, such as the Kings, Mavericks, Spurs and so on.

The contract price is not high, the strength is strong, the role is strong, the character is good, and the professional, such a player is really the kind of perfect role player.

But Raheem, who has completed all the goals of his career, has fallen into confusion.

Because he has planned the next step in his career.

After Raheem announced his retirement, he immediately announced that he would serve as the vice president of the NBA Development League.

After Rahim announced his retirement, Chen Xiao also called to congratulate him.

"Raheem is a great player, he is a Hall of Fame player, he is a great champion."

This is Chen Xiao's evaluation of Raheem in an interview.

Chen Xiao knew that even if Raheem had a Cavaliers championship in his career, it would be impossible to enter the Hall of Fame. He is a typical NBA honor not worthy of strength.

The NBA's free market slowly fell into calm after a crazy August 2nd.

It wasn't until August 31 that the NBA's free market had heavy news once again.

The Heat announced an early renewal with Dwyane Wade and Yao Ming.

The Bobcats also announced that they have reached a 3+2 maximum salary of 5 years and 75 million renewal contract with Chen Xiao~www.NovelMTL.com~ Regardless of Chen Xiao, Wade or Yao Ming, they will be contracted next season. Period, this is an early renewal.

Renew the contract in advance, this is to stabilize the military spirit and sprint with all strength!

When the NBA free market comes to an end, it is also the time for teams and players to set their goals.

Chen, next season, we will definitely win the championship!

When Wade saw Chen Xiao renewing his contract with Bobcats, he wanted to walk all the way to the dark, and his hands were fiercely clenched into fists.

He felt that now is a good opportunity for him to catch up with Chen!

I want to walk side by side with Chen!
