NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 152
In the summer, not every team owner is as laid-back as Russell.

They need to try various deals, and at the same time worry about getting lost.

It is also very troublesome to renew the contract of players. Players like Russell have to undergo surgery and directly give the maximum salary in advance. Other teams will definitely not happen.

They count every penny and have been negotiating with players all summer.

As the league's rookie plus poor, the Bobcats are also troubled by Gerald - Wallace's contract extension.

They are completely reluctant to spend money. Of course, except for Okafor, their players are "garbage" that other players don't want. Gerald Wallace can be regarded as the treasure among the waste.

Of course, they don't think this baby is worth much, and other teams in the league don't think it's difficult to score points in this weak chicken team, the skills are relatively rough, and the young striker who is only a little defensive has much promise.

The Bobcats don't want to give 500 million a year, so Gerald Wallace and the players have been negotiating.

He's not asking too much, but as one of the few prospects on the team, he certainly wants a little more dollars.

Russell has been letting the fat man pay attention to this place. In fact, he doesn't want to poach the Bobcats. After all, they are also very pitiful, but sometimes they are cheap enough and big enough to give it a try.

In fact, Russell's previous thinking was relatively traditional, and he wanted to get Mourning, who was given up by the Nets.

Historically, Mourning helped the Heat win the championship next season. The Kidney Fighter is no longer an All-Star insider at his peak, but the defense is still very strong, and it is worth shooting.

It's a pity that Mourning only wants to return to the Heat, so Russell made people focus on Gerald Wallace. This buddy is a good material for the death five, and it should be very good to partner with Marion inside.

There is no one in the league as bold as Russell, but if it can be won cheaply, Gerald Wallace will have no problem playing the dead five.

Russell remembers that the future "Elvis Presley" in history finally reached a three-year contract of 3 million with the Bobcats, which is a little more than 1600 million a year.

Russell is very generous, 4 million in 2400 years, 600 million a year, isn't it good?

If the Bobcats have the courage to directly match, Russell can give up to pursue other players, Gerald - Wallace is not the only choice for the sun.

However, the Bobcats hesitated, and they hoped to train several rookies they selected.

Gerald Wallace is still a bit rough, not because no one, they won't give 500 million a year.

They were very upset about the Suns raising prices, but what should others do if they have money? In the end, the Bobcats chose to give up. North Carolina's four young players, Raymond Felton and Sean May, have already won the second place, isn't it good? what money.

So the Suns signed Gerald Wallace.

Although there is no starting commitment, Gerald Wallace is still very happy to come to Phoenix for the dollar and the name of the defending champion.

The external reaction to this batch of signings was a little flat. Gerald Wallace didn't say whether it was worth the price. The key is that his characteristics are a bit weak in the Suns system, and he can't open up space for the inside line at all.

However, news of Stoudemire's surgery came as the teams' training camps were about to begin.

This is the real big news. The Suns are strong and strong, and the main lineup to win the championship cannot be poached at all. The possibility of defending the title in the new season is really not small.

But Stoudemire's surgery, not to mention the recovery, will definitely take a few months of rest. The Suns' season is over.

The Suns also renewed Stoudemire's contract with the maximum salary in advance. If this buddy can't recover, the Suns are not at a loss, and the future is involved.

Then the Sun issued an official statement, saying that Stoudemire had already discussed the surgery with the team, but the team was still willing to give him a maximum salary.

If it is true, the Suns management is really a good person, and they will definitely not treat the hero who won the championship badly.

It's just that the Suns already knew that Stoudemire was going to have surgery to rest, and there was a problem with their summer operations.

What's the matter with changing the inside line and choosing an outside line that has never been played in the NCAA.

Although they changed back again, Battelle and the others didn't renew their contract. The Suns still lack insiders.

There is also a short story on Battelle's side, which is about the eagle's side.

When the Suns were in full swing last season, Nash was envious. He felt that although he might not be able to be as exaggerated as Russell, he could still play a bit of the sun's demeanor, and he felt that his offense was stronger than Russell.

However, although the Eagles coach Woodson played more traditionally, the two had a little conflict.

For the conflict between players and coaches, the Eagles managers of course choose to support the players. After all, Nash is an All-Star player signed with great difficulty, and this money can fire many coaches.

So Woodson still made some compromises. Facts have proved that if the speed is increased, Nash can really lead the team to play well, but the Hawks players are not so strong and the defense is not so good.

After the Suns won the championship, many teams in the league began to study their style of play, and the Eagles became more determined.

They were also trying to recruit players in the summer. Raja Bell had a relationship with Nash and was dug by the Eagles.

As for the Suns' several role players whose contracts have ended, the Eagles have also won one, and that is Battelle.

A center who can shoot three-pointers, Nash thinks it is very good, and Battelle can be regarded as a meat shield, and the Eagles took it down in three years as a small middle class.

The role players of the championship team really don't have to worry about finding a job, and House has also re-employed.

The Eagles are not getting much attention now, but with Chinese players, there will definitely be more fans.

Now the outside world is more concerned about the inside of the Suns, and the media and fans are still giving various ideas.

But Russell thinks that the inside line is almost enough, and Varejao can be cultivated as a flexible tank. Anyway, he has already discussed with D'Antoni about the small lineup, and D'Antoni also thinks it is very good.

It's just that there are no Chinese players in the new season, and Russell still hopes to catch the heat.

His popularity is not stable enough. If there is no Stoudemire defending the title in the new season, he is still not sure. He will do what can be done to improve his popularity. It is not shameful.

Traffic is dollars, you can earn a little more, why not do it.

Therefore, Russell took aim at Wang Zhizhi, who was abandoned by the Heat.

It can also make three-pointers from the outside, but its wingspan is good enough and its feet are more flexible. It should be able to play a greater role than Battelle.

It's just that Wang Zhizhi is still in trouble, so Russell still needs to have a good talk with him.

Russell also has friends in the Chinese media circle. He knew that Wang Zhizhi had not reached an agreement with the officials of the Chinese Basketball Association, and he would not be able to get along in the league. He planned to be a peacemaker.

In fact, it is roughly for the sake of face, for the sake of breath, no big deal.

Russell can let him continue in the league, and it's not difficult to get the other party's approval to help with some things.
