Healing Basketball

Chapter 268 268. Eastern Shuffling
The Mavericks have completed another star collection.

Last year, Anthony Walker and Jamison were acquired at almost no cost. Although they collapsed for half a season, now, these two have become Ratliff, Jason Terry, and Stackhouse.

No one expected that the Mavericks, which had no first-round picks this year, would eventually become the most popular team in the draft.

There was such an explosive deal at the end of the first round, and no one paid attention to it in the second round.

TV commentators have been discussing the Mavericks trade.

On the imperial platform, they were discussing the trade of the Trail Blazers and Sebastian Telfair, who was selected by the Rockets with the [-]th overall pick in the first round.

After the draft, Liu Xiu learned from John Nash that the team is still trying to accumulate chips in order to get O'Neal.

I can understand, O'Neill, that's right!
This time the dog licking must be appropriate and firm. If Fatty +1, then they will become champions in place.

However, unlike the desperate licking during the period from the end of the season to the draft, now they are starting to make repairs and adjustments to the lineup.

Another two days have passed, June is over, July 6st, a new month is coming, today's training team is on holiday, and the training session of basketball basics, basic skills and other aspects is over. After a day of rest, we will enter a new stage— - Team training.

At the same time, for the NBA, the free market has already opened.

It has been more than ten days since the end of the season. It is no secret that the Lakers are discussing with the teams to trade O'Neal. After the free market opened, O'Neal's agent announced that they have obtained permission to negotiate an early contract renewal with the potential next house. matter.

As we all know, the reason for the deterioration of the relationship between O'Neal and the Lakers is not the conflict with Kobe, but the fact that O'Neal yelled at Jerry Buss for [-] million.

Immediately after the opening of the free market, the Mavericks formally made an offer to the Lakers, using Nowitzki and two future first-round picks as bargaining chips to offer O'Neal, and were willing to renew the contract with O'Neal for five years in advance.

At this time, people knew why the Mavericks wanted Jason Terry and Stackhouse back. It turned out that it was for the outside helpers introduced by O'Neal!
02-03赛季年仅25岁就打出过场均25分9.9板3助攻1.4抢断1盖帽的诺维斯基，与科比算是高度契合的球员了。

But the Lakers chose to refuse.

After the trade offer was exposed, the Lakers admitted the authenticity of the offer.

Nowitzki, who was used as a bargaining chip, said in an interview: "I think Mark made the right choice, and I would do the same. I don't resent him because of it, and I won't lose my temper because of it. , Being traded is an inevitable thing for a professional player to encounter."

……

Nowitzki + two draft picks, the Lakers rejected both.

At this time, speculation similar to Paul Allen's fire.

ESPN broke the news that the only Western stars the Lakers want may be Duncan, Garnett, and Yao Ming.

The Lakers will not accept any other offer.

In short, when the Lakers rejected the Mavericks' trade offer, the enthusiasm of the Western teams chasing O'Neal began to cool down.

I will still fight for it, just like the Trail Blazers, that's O'Neal!

If anyone is really the Magic, they will run to post a news referendum to vote whether the 24-year-old O'Neal is worth [-] million?

The 32-year-old O'Neal also has a bunch of teams lined up to give [-] million.

With the opening of the free market, there are more and more substantive operations.

The Cavaliers waived Boozer's team option.

Boozer was selected by the Cavaliers in the second round of 2002 and signed a 2+1 final year team option contract.

Giving up the team option is equivalent to the Cavaliers giving up Boozer's home team matching rights and ending the contract.

According to sources, the prerequisite for the Cavaliers to give up Boozer's $69 contract in the last year is Boozer's promise to reach a six-year, $6 million contract extension with the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers gave up the team option, which Boozer took the initiative to fight for.

This wave of operations made many second-round picks who signed a three-year contract call the experts directly, wanting to see if they have any room for manipulation.

There is also a relatively high topic-the negotiation between the Rockets and the Magic failed. The Magic gave up the deal with the Rockets and sent Drew Gooden, the No. 02 pick in the 4 session, to the Cavaliers.

In order to get Drew Gooden in the trade, the Cavaliers actually only sent two future second-round picks, plus Andrew De Klerk's $04 million contract for the 05-250 season.

With this bargaining chip, the Rockets can still fail to negotiate. People can't help but wonder how amazing the Rockets' offer is...

Anyway, Yao Ming called the team at the first time, but after a few perfunctory words, he didn't continue.

O'Neill's trade was not followed up day by day, and other trades became more and more lively.

On July 7th, the well-known NBA columnist Wojin Navorski broke the news that Kenyon Martin will leave the Nets, and the Eastern Conference will be reshuffled!

It's just that if Kenyon Martin leaves the team, it's far less exaggerated than the "reshuffle of forces".

This revelation successfully attracted people's attention.

Tonight, the big deal is coming!

The Nets and Kenyon Martin reached a 7-year 9200 million dollar maximum salary extension and sent him, plus Corey Kittles, got McGrady and Juwan Howard of the Magic.

The Nuggets sent three future first-round picks, used space to eat Kenyon Martin, and created a special case of a $945 million trade for the Nets.

The Magic sent McGrady and Juwan Howard, and got three first-round picks from the Nuggets, Corey Kittles from the Nets, and a special case of a $945 million transaction.

……

Kidd teamed up with McGrady!

Liu Xiu was dumbfounded when he heard the news.

What about the Yao Mai combination?
Although this combination is really not good, it is part of youth anyway.

After the free market opened, Liu Xiu heard Yao Ming sigh every day and saw Yao Ming's bitter face.

And this guy doesn't do this when there are many people, only when he is alone with his warden.

Originally, I was thinking that after the Rockets got Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming would become a female Zhao Riyue.

Good guy, McGrady is not going to the Rockets anymore!
Originally, Yao Ming’s children’s shoes didn’t get Gudeng Master as a teammate, and they still had Juwan Howard, but he didn’t have defense, he couldn’t say he was stable in mid-range shots, and he couldn’t protect rebounds well...but his reputation was good, and he could give Yao Ming a comfort.

Now there is nothing.

But when you think about it, the Rockets originally gave Francis and Mobley two guards that Yao Ming couldn't even touch in the playoffs. Looking at the Nets, the three first-round brows didn't even bat an eye... no Any fool will choose the chips of the Nets.

Suddenly, Liu Xiu healed himself.

The summer of 2004 can be regarded as an extremely lively summer in the entire history of the NBA.

But this summer has nothing to do with their Trail Blazers.

Dale Davis, Raheem, and Little Flying Squirrel, the salaries of these three brothers, more than 3500 million dollars, will not expire until next summer.

These three people really can't afford to change to other teams. It is estimated that the Mavericks are reluctant to use them. It is possible for the Knicks, but the people who can be replaced by the Knicks are definitely not as good as these three brothers.

Life is really impermanent...

Just now he was still mourning for Yao Ming's children's shoes, but now he finds himself quite helpless.

Ever since, the warden put his attention on the Cavaliers after training, waiting to see the Cavaliers' good show.

When I see others suffering, I feel that I am not so miserable.

Liu Xiu didn't have to wait long. On July 7, the clarification period for NBA signings came.

According to the regulations, after the opening of the free market, free market signings did not start, but the official signing was only on July 7th, and the previous signings could only be verbal.

After the signing window opened, the alliance passed several signings, which were announced on the official website as soon as possible.

A signing attracted everyone's attention-the Jazz signed Boozer naked with a 5+1 final-year player option totaling a non-bird maximum salary of $6 million for 6800 years.

……

The Cavaliers management scolded the street.

The Cavaliers have just robbed the Magic. The Magic don't want Master Lantern, and Master Lantern doesn't want to stay with the Magic.

Then the Cavaliers were tricked.

According to the team reporter of Dream Six, James and Boozer stopped talking to each other after this.

ESPN broke the news that Boozer did not inform the Cavaliers that the Jazz offered a maximum salary, otherwise the Cavaliers would be willing to renew Boozer with a maximum salary, and the Cavaliers also have salary space.

In other words, Boozer simply does not want to stay in Cleveland.

Can live in Salt Lake City, who wants to stay in Cleveland...  

Seeing this news, not only Liu Xiu was in a good mood, Yao Ming, who had started his second depressed offseason, felt much better after seeing this news.

Human nature always shines brightly.

After experiencing the offseason personally, Liu Xiucai knew how miserable Yao Ming was.

I can't see what the Rockets are strengthening during the offseason. It feels like everything is to continue to maintain the space to introduce a maximum-salary player next year.

Every time a big deal or a big contract is signed, it means that a monkey who has been played with has gone down the mountain.

In the beginning, nearly half of the teams kept trading chips and space for O'Neal, but now there are fewer and fewer.

Some media even speculated whether the Lakers have persuaded the OK combination to let the two continue to cooperate, because the Lakers have no news for several days!

Just when there are more and more rumors like this, hey, here comes the trader!

On July 7, the Heat officially announced that they had reached a deal with the Lakers!

The Heat sent Lamar Odom, Brian Grant, Caron Butler, Wang Zhizhi, the first-round pick in 2006, and agreed to O'Neal's five-year $5 million renewal contract until 1. Traded for O'Neal!
Although I knew this was the case, as a 58-win team, the Lakers could not send O'Neal to their prison team, but the warden was still a little bit disappointed when he learned that O'Neal traveled east to the Heat, and he directly became the favorite to win the championship. They never gave up, even if there was only a slight possibility... Huh?etc!Why did I seem to see Brother Big Zhi's name?
