Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 931 [Crazy East, abnormal lineup]

In the draft, the Knicks and Mavericks immediately completed a big deal involving six players.

The Knicks sent Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton to the Mavericks for Jose Calderon, Samuel Dalembert, rookie point guard Sean Larkin, and backup guards Wayne Ellington. In addition, the Mavericks also gave away the 34th and 51st picks in this year's draft.

Chandler has one year left in his current contract, and his annual salary next season will be as high as $14.6 million. The Mavericks signed him to produce results. Calderon's defense is too bad and must be sent away.

The Mavericks did not renew Bogut's contract. With Chandler, the inside line will not be too bad.

Bogut wants a big contract, but he has serious injury risks. He may be injured if he plays for more than 20 minutes. Cuban is generous to Nowitzki, but he has no good impression of the Australian No. 1 pick, especially last season when the team did not make the playoffs.

"Zen Master"'s intention to send away Chandler and Felton was very clear, and he began to rebuild the Knicks. Calderon can add a three-point shooting point, and Dalembert's guaranteed annual salary next season is only $1.8 million, which can be easily bought out, which increases the flexibility for the Knicks to free up salary space.

Jackson hopes this deal will increase Carmelo Anthony's confidence in staying in New York.

The Nets were poached, and the Warriors signed backup point guard Livingston for 16 million in three years to find a backup for Lowry. Last season, they suffered the loss of not having a qualified substitute at No. 1.

The Hornets will sign Pacers shooting guard Lance Stephenson to a three-year, $27 million contract.

The Pacers did not retain anyone. Bird believed that Stephenson had character problems and too much uncertainty, so he signed swingman C.J. Miles for 18 million in four years.

In the free market, the Cavaliers became the most watched team. Everyone thought their manager was crazy and actually put Cousins ​​on the shelf.

Although Cousins ​​​​is often confused, he had 22.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks last season, making him the league's best center.

As a result, the Cavaliers and the Heat reached a deal, using Cousins ​​+ two second-round picks in a sign-and-trade to trade the Heat's Chris Bosh.

Bosh has been with the Heat for four years and has received no honors except being selected for the All-Star Game. His statistics are stable at about 20+8.

The two have similar statistics. Cousins ​​looks tougher and is young and has potential. Even though Bosh is experienced, it still makes people confused. Bosh is simply not suitable to be the core.

Cousins ​​is a big boy, straightforward, not bad, but has a bad temper. This is understandable, but if a person always maintains this kind of inertial thinking, it will inevitably make people stay away. If you eat in the same stove, then facing such a dark-faced god every day, it is really difficult to have a good mood.

James felt that this kid was difficult to communicate with, had too many problems, and was not a good second-in-command, so he decided to trade him out. In this way, no one will say that Cousins ​​is more suitable to be the team boss than James because of his good statistics.

People were laughing at Cavaliers manager David Griffin. The Cavaliers officially announced the signing of James. Everyone was dumbfounded. The exchange for Bosh became a good deal.

His contract lasts for two years, with a total value of approximately US$42.1 million, of which the second year is a player option, which means that he can choose to become a free agent in the summer of 2015.

The Cavaliers are happy that James chose to return, and David Griffin expressed his views.

"There is no greater joy for our team than to welcome James back. James told us yesterday that he will not go anywhere but the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are where he always wanted to end his career."

With the addition of James, plus Oladipo, Brad Beal, Tristan Thompson, Bosh and others, the Cavaliers have become one of the most powerful contenders for the championship in the new season.

Wiggins, the top pick, is not very happy. Is he going to compete with James for the starting position?

He will definitely not be able to compete with James. If he is not traded out of the team, he may have to be a substitute in the new season. Not having enough ball rights will affect his future development.

During the draft, experts said that Wiggins had both James' ball-handling skills and Durant's shooting skills. He was known as the most talented outside player since James and Wang Jun in 2003. Once he entered the league and came off the bench, it was not good for him. Small blow.

The media also exclaimed, how extravagant is this team’s lineup?

Several veterans immediately joined the Cavaliers in the free market. Shawn Marion, James Jones, and Mike Miller joined successively, hoping to win a championship at the end of their careers.

Not to be outdone, the Nets took action.

They changed coaches first. "Little General" Johnson did not get a contract extension, and Tom Thibodeau signed a three-year contract. Thibodeau's record in the Bulls is average, and the most impressive thing is defense. This is what the Nets lack the most.

Then, the most incredible signing happened! The Nets signed Dwyane Wade for $8 million a year!

After Bogut was traded and Bosh was sent away, Wade was willing to cut his salary. As long as the Heat offered a new four-year contract worth 50 million to 55 million U.S. dollars, he would stay with the team to help the team make room for new players. A better helper.

However, the Heat are not willing to sign a long-term contract with Wade and only want to give him a two-year and 30 million contract. Prior to this, the Heat signed free agent Luol Deng for $20 million over two years.

No one ever doubted Wade might leave the Heat. The 32-year-old has played in Miami for 11 seasons. The sacrifices he has made for the team are also huge, but the sacrifices cannot be exchanged for a long-term contract, and the Heat do not give him a chance to be loyal at all.

Wade is not a fool. When his contract expires in 2016, what contract will the Heat give him when he is 34? Can he and Cousins ​​​​attract other stars to join?

The Heat have no ambition to win the championship at all. They are all salary cuts and short-term contracts. Wade can't find a reason to stay.

Why doesn't he just join a strong team and win the championship? I don’t know what will happen in another two years.

There are at least two choices before Wade, one is the Cavaliers and the other is the Nets.

After Bosh joined the Cavaliers, Wade made up his mind to join the Nets.

Wade has a very good relationship with James, but since the Cavaliers are not sending out Oladipo, Wiggins, and Bill, and there is no shortage of offensive points on the outside, he has no interest in joining in the fun. The media has long analyzed that he and James overlap. If they lose, they will lose their talent.

The Nets' signings are not over yet. Pierce chose to renew his contract with the Nets for one year with a veteran's minimum salary, aiming for a championship.

They made a three-way deal with the Grizzlies and Lakers.

Garnett, who had one year left on his contract, was sent to the Grizzlies, Kevin Love joined the Lakers, and the Nets signed and traded for Pau Gasol. Three star power forwards swapped clubs.

Gasol signed a three-year contract worth US$22 million with the Nets. The Lakers had previously offered two extensions of US$23 million for two years and US$29 million for three years. Gasol rejected both.

Gasol has had enough of D'Antoni. He actually let him play on the bench last season. It's simply sick.

"Money is obviously not a priority." Gasol said: "I rejected a larger contract. My goal is first to find a championship-level team. I hope that I will also have a position to give to the team." To help, now that I have such an opportunity, the next thing I have to do is work hard and do the best I can do.”

After this transaction, the Nets lineup has become abnormal.
