The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 99 [Crazy Team Building]

Everyone was surprised that DeAndre Jordan fell to the second round, only Ye Feng didn't take it seriously, it was all in his expectation.

Jordan fell to the second round because he was knocked out by Love in the NCAA round of 16.He can only defend but can't shoot. By 2012, he still hadn't been able to practice mid-range shots. The only ways to score were basket shots and dunks, and his free throw percentage was less than [-]%, which was outrageously low.God knows how many years it will take for Jordan to develop a mid-range shot.In contrast, McGee is much better, he still has a certain shooting ability, maybe Thibodeau and Mutombo can train him to be a good player.

Ye Feng told Ariel privately that he would find a way to get Jordan to brush up his statistics in the summer league, and then he would trade him out when it was over.

Ariel asked him if he wanted to find a way to trade Ryan Anderson, the 21st overall pick of the Nets.Ye Feng said no, he thought about it afterwards, there really is no one better than McGee at the 18th pick, Thibodeau was right, McGee has great potential.Anderson will serve as a substitute for Yi Jianlian in the Nets next season, but he did not perform well in his first year when he transferred to the Magic. It will not be too late to trade him after his price drops two years later.

The Clippers started the signings of the free market. The departure of Brand, Maggette and Jamison can free up more than 4000 million salary space.When people speculated that the Clippers would have a big deal, the uniform team made a move.

Between the "two big fish" Josh Smith and Iguodala, the Clippers chose to quote Smith.Smith has a tough playing style, super quality and great potential for development.He was suppressed by Joe Johnson, and he was only the No. 76 man of the Eagles. At the end of his rookie season, he wanted to ask for a long-term contract with an annual salary of tens of millions.Iguodala is also a quality superman, but he is now the core of the [-]ers. He is very comfortable in Philadelphia and there is really no reason to leave.Moreover, Iguodala can only play one defense and one can play a good level, but Smith can send a shocking cap when assisting defense, the latter is more suitable for the Clippers.

Smith is still a restricted player.If a team wants to turn its player into a restricted player, it must give the player a contract (just giving is not signing) before June 6. If the player is not a rookie contract, the contract amount is 30 last season. % or minimum wage plus 125.This is a one-year contract that is not subject to salary constraints.
When a team wants to sign a restricted player, the original team has 15 days to consider whether to keep him on the same contract.Such a contract must be longer than 3 seasons.And the contract cannot include some other form of compensation.
Originally, the Clippers planned to offer Smith 7 million for five years after checking the market conditions at the end of July.Ye Feng's past life memory played a role, the Grizzlies offered Smith a five-year, $5 million contract, and the Hawks also chose to follow up.So if you want to sign Smith, you must increase the contract amount, and you must make an offer now. In late July, the Eagles' small forward Childress will be tempted to go to Europe by a three-year contract worth 5700 million yuan. The Eagles who lost Childress will desperately try to keep Smith, and then there will be no chance.

在艾莉儿的一再坚持下，制服组终于决定为史密斯开出了5年6200万的高薪。杰拉德.华莱士续约山猫6年才5700万。去年76人挽留伊戈达拉时开出的是5年5700万，快船队表现出了最大的诚意。

The Eagles gave up follow-up, and now there are many options in the transfer market, they don't think Smith is worth so much money.Without Smith's defense, the Hawks don't know what they can do next season.

Although they paid a few million more, the Clippers thought it was worth it.Smith's defensive ability is strong, and he plays with passion. The slam dunk combination formed by him and Ye Feng is exciting just thinking about it. Both of them are good at dunks, and they can also send big blocks on the defensive end. Become the league's most entertaining team.

Because of Smith's joining, the Clippers have received more media attention!

On July 7, Kevin Love got a 7+3 standard lottery contract, and the amount was strictly in accordance with the requirements of the league, 1 million for four years.McGee got a four-year guarantee contract of 1300 million yuan, and the third year is a team option.Jordan and Chalmers have not yet been signed, and the uniform team will have to wait until the summer league is over before making a decision.

On July 7, the Clippers signed Barnes for 8 years and 2 million. Barnes joined the Clippers with a basic salary, which surprised all the teams chasing him.

The Clippers offered restricted player Jose Barea a four-year, $1200 million offer to the Dallas Mavericks.

Experts agree that this is a super junk contract.The Puerto Rican point guard averaged only 4.3 points and 1.3 assists per game last season.Playing for about 10 minutes, he is an out-and-out marginal man.Faced with such an offer, the Mavericks certainly couldn't follow up, and the Clippers succeeded in poaching corners.

The introduction of Barea was of course Ye Feng's proposal, which was opposed by many people, but it was enough to have Ariel's support.At this time, no one is optimistic about Barea, Ye Feng knows how powerful this little man is, he will definitely become a bench bandit for the Clippers.

At the same time, the Clippers offered the Heat 4cm tall backup small forward Dorell Wright for 1300 million in four years.Now Wright is just a role player with mediocre offense and defense. The biggest advantage is his height and long arms. Wearing a Rockets jersey, he can cosplay McGrady...Ye Feng knew that this guy could practice three-point stunts, and later in the All-Star Game Become the three-point king.The Heat believed that Wright was not worth 206 million annual salary, so they gave up following up, and the Clippers poached another person.

The Clippers also tried out undrafted rookie Anthony Morrow under Ye Feng's suggestion.Morrow is a player who is suitable for fast breaks, and his three-pointers are extremely accurate, but his body is thin and his defense is too bad, so he was not selected by the team.In Ye Feng's memory, Morrow exploded with energy immediately after joining the Warriors.In the first season, he averaged 22.6 minutes per game, scored 10.1 points, 3 rebounds and 1.2 assists, and made 46.7% of his three-pointers in a single season, becoming the first rookie player to lead the league in this data.

Thibodeau was not idle either. He met with Tony Allen, who was recovering from his injury, and invited him to join.Tony Allen considered for three days, even though he didn't like Ye Feng, he still joined the Clippers.The Clippers offered him 1100 million for three years, much higher than the renewal price quoted by the Celtics.He won't get a higher contract than this for other teams.

On July 7, Love, McGee, Jordan, Chalmers and Morrow represented the Clippers in the Summer League in Las Vegas.

On July 7, the Clippers held a press conference. Barea, Smith, Barnes, Allen, and Wright appeared in Los Angeles together, showing off the new jersey.

Other teams have also strengthened the team.

The Bucks exchanged Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons for Nets All-Star forward Richard Jefferson.

The Nets officially signed with first-round picks Brook Lopez and Ryan Anderson.

The Hornets renewed their contract with 4 million in 6800 years. Chris Paul, the head star of the team.

The Bobcats and Okafor reached an agreement on a contract extension, the final contract is about $7200 million over six years.

The Pacers traded with the Raptors. The Pacers sent away Jermaine O’Neal and rookie Nathan Jawai in exchange for TJ Ford, Rahu Nesterovic, Marceo Baston and Roy Hibbert.

These are small transactions.The next few deals have the potential to change the landscape of the league.

The Clippers sent Kaman in the middle of last season, which caused some butterfly effects.Arenas and Jamison have fought together for several seasons, and they have a very close friendship. In order for the Wizards to sign Jamison back, he took the initiative to cut his salary and renew his contract. The 6-year 9000 million, the peerless garbage contract that Ye Feng knew did not appear. .Jamison also voluntarily cut his salary, returning to the Wizards with 5 million in 4700 years, and the fifth year with the highest salary is that the team option is not guaranteed.By the time he was close to 38, Jamison was willing to spend the rest of his life with the Wizards.With the addition of Kaman and two-time All-Star small forward Butler, the Wizards have assembled a strong starting lineup, which will have the capital to compete with the Cavaliers and Celtics next season.Of course, this is under the premise that Arenas is not injured.

The Wizards made big signings, and the 76ers were not to be outdone.They offered Elton Brand a five-year, 5 million contract. If Brand is not injured, it should be worth the price.But the Clippers are unwilling to take risks. They have long decided to give up Brand and will not follow up on the offer.

The 76ers and Iguodala's contract renewal negotiations have also made substantial progress.In the past four seasons, Iguodala has made great progress in each season and has gradually become the core of the team.Iguodala played full-time last season, averaging 19.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 2.1 steals per game, and led the 76ers to fight in the playoffs. , and finally failed.

Although the contract renewal negotiations between the two sides are relatively slow, the joining of Elton Brand makes Iguodala more hopeful to stay in Philadelphia.With guard Andre Miller, center Samuel Dalembert and young players Thaddeus Young and Louis Williams, the 76ers are also expected to change the pattern of the Eastern Conference in the new season.

But the craziest in the trading market is the Golden State Warriors.

They first renewed the contract of the team's main center Andris Biedrins for 6 years and 5400 million US dollars.Blue-collar contract renewals are such a big contract, and signing potential players will not be stingy. Guard Ellis received a six-year high-salary renewal of 6 million US dollars.
The Warriors also offered Clippers small forward Corey Maggette for 5 years and 5000 million.Poach the Lakers, offer Ronnie Turiaf for 4 million in 1600 years.
Although the Clippers have plenty of salary space now, they will not choose to follow up. Now they have Ye Feng at the small forward position. Maggette has been asking for a big contract last season and fell out with the management.The Lakers will not spend a lot of money to keep Turiaf, who didn't have many chances to play last season.

Coupled with Baron Davis choosing to stay with the team, the Warriors will have to pay a lot of luxury tax next season, and their lineup has become very scary.

The Celtics' championship has made many teams see the benefits of star teaming. Their success this season can also be said to be a bad start.

Ye Feng remembered that by 2012, many basketball experts expressed dissatisfaction with the NBA.They think the NBA is getting worse and worse.In the past, the competition in the league was very fierce, the stars were scattered, and fans from all over the world could have fun watching the game, but later, there were less than 10 teams in the league that were worthy of attention, and all the stars gathered in these teams.

In contrast, the only big-name player introduced by the Clippers is Josh Smith.The team is too weak and has a bad reputation. Even if they want to introduce big-name players, no one is willing to come.
