Chapter 101 The Opening of the Free Market in 09

The news about Lin Ri helped NBA fans who had no news during this period to spend the last two or three days in June, and then the annual free market officially opened!

This is the day when every team officially begins to strengthen for next season.

Whether it is the Lakers, which won the championship last season, or the Suns, who are the last in the league this season, they will start planning for the team's lineup reinforcement from today.

This is an invisible battle.

The comparison is the ability between the speakers of the 30 teams.

Most of the classic transactions in the NBA were also born during the off-season.

However, this summer is not so lively compared to previous years. Most of the general managers of the fans have set their sights on next summer...

At this time next year, the contracts of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh of the "03 generation" will all expire. In addition to these three super giants who have just entered their peak period, there are also stars like Ray Allen who are still All-Star players who have begun to decline from their peaks and will also become free agents...

In the summer of 2010, there are destined to be many "big fish".

If two "big fish" can be reaped from it, there is no doubt that it will have no problem becoming a championship-level team.

This is also the current thinking of many team leaders.

No way, let's see how the Celtics and the Lakers made their fortunes?
One abducted Kevin Garnett from the Timberwolves and Ray Allen from the Supersonics. They formed the "Big Three" in one season and swept all the way to win the 08 NBA championship;
There is another one who got Pau Gasol from the Grizzlies, and after a little running-in, he won the championship trophy with almost no obstacles this year.

This is a feasible path... If he has two lines, why can't we?
The thinking of many team general managers has changed with the Celtics and Lakers winning the championship in the past two years.

What has also changed is not just the general managers of the team, but also the stars of the league. They are also constantly pushing their own teams and demanding reinforcements.

Their idea is very simple, since Kobe has Pau Gasol and Boston has formed the "Big Three", why can't I have a good Anda?

This is the change brought about by a subtle "wind" in the past two years.

However, even if most teams look forward to 2010, it is impossible for the 30 teams in the league to add up to three or four hundred players without major changes during the off-season.

Therefore, this year's off-season still became lively from the moment the "door" opened.

The first deal that was completed was a big deal that had already been blown out:
The Magic sent Alston, Tony Barty and Courtney Lee to the Nets for Leon Anderson and Vince Carter;
The Nets sent Chris Humphries, Ryan Anderson and Carter, plus two first-round picks, got Alston and Tony Barty from the Magic, and got Amare Stoudemire and a second-round pick from the Suns;

The Suns sent Amare Stoudemire and a second-round pick, got Chris Humphries and two first-round picks from the Nets, and then got Courtney Lee from the Magic.

When the deal broke out, it caused a lot of shock.

Most of the shock was because the Magic...

They sent away so many role players, which is equivalent to dismantling one-third of the main lineup. They did this in the third week after entering the finals. This is something that many people, including Magic fans, cannot understand.

What is this doing?

And why don't you do it for others, for Vince Carter, who has passed his peak period and is obviously starting to decline?

are you insane?
The Magic fans couldn't figure it out, but what made them collapse even more happened half an hour later. The Raptors officially announced that they had signed Hedo Turkoglu for 5 years and 5300 million.

Magic fans: Well... I believe there must be two guys with the same name in this league. This guy is definitely not our offensive core "Turkey Jordan". Well, I believe... Our management will not be so stupid!
No, what are you guys doing?
Demolish the house just after entering the finals?

Did any of you do this?

The Magic fans who were quite happy after the end of this season shut themselves up collectively within half a day after the free market opened.

They never thought that this offseason would open in such a way.

Like them, Suns fans complained.

Although they knew that it was possible for Amare Stoudemire to leave, they were also very familiar with Stoudemire's character. As far as his temper was concerned, if such a video spread, he would definitely be ashamed to stay in the Suns. And the bargaining chips that Steve Kerr exchanged for Stoudemire were quite satisfactory in the eyes of the Suns fans. After all, it was not bad to be able to trade these chips in such a short period of time.

But the question is... What the hell did you choose Stephen Curry with the No. 6 pick in the first round this year?

This guy has such a thin frame and a hidden ankle injury in college. Are you sure this guy is worth gambling with the No. 6 pick in the first round?

Yes, from the perspective of Suns fans, there is nothing wrong with this deal. The problem lies in Steve Kerr's follow-up operations. It is not a wise choice to bet on Stephen Curry with the No. 6 pick in the first round.

Just because one of the guy's templates was Steve Nash?
But this guy and scouts say his template is like Mohammad Raouf!

Well, there are scouts who say that Stephen Curry's template is like your Steve Kerr!
Ok?
Oh ~
understood!

Dare to choose him because he looks like you?
Like the fans of the Suns, the local media in Phoenix also looked down on Stephen Curry:
"Just as there is no next big bird or magician in this league, the next Steve Nash will not appear so easily!"

"The two stupidest trades I have seen in a year, one is to trade Marion to Shaquille O'Neal, and the other is to use the No. 6 pick in the first round to select Stephen Curry!"

"Steve Kerr has done a good job this year. I mean let the team get the No. [-] pick and then select the Sun. As for the other things, well... it doesn't matter."

The only ones who are happy about this big deal may be the fans in New Jersey. After sending Vince Carter away and welcoming Amare Stoudemire, the Nets' core lineup instantly became Devon Harris plus Amare Stoudemire and Brook Lopez.

In addition, they also got the main players such as Alstom and Tony Batty... There shouldn't be a big problem entering the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, right?
New Jersey native, optimistic by nature!
Of course, after Billy King traded Jason Kidd to the Mavericks for Devin Harris, New Jersey fans were not optimistic.

After all, the entire league knows why the Mavericks gave up on Devon Harris, but Billikin still thinks this guy can be saved.

Not to mention, he was also an All-Star last year.

But the problem is... Entering the All-Star as the core of the third-to-last team in the Eastern Conference is not an honorable thing.

On the contrary, it proves that there are really no guards in the Eastern Conference during this period.

In short, it's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, so let him go!
Moreover, I heard that Amare's dunk is very explosive, um, good luck!
Immediately afterwards, the trade that broke out came from the Spurs, which had not seen much movement for many years. Popovich traded All-Star small forward Richard Jefferson from the Bucks. Jefferson's contract has two years left, and the total price is as high as 2 million.

It is worth mentioning that Tim Duncan's annual salary next year is about 1886 million, and Jefferson's annual salary next year is only about 3-4 million lower than Duncan's.

Look, this is the current atmosphere in this league. The success of the Celtics and the Lakers has made Popovich, who has always searched and searched and only knows "Taobao", couldn't help but "boldly" fight.

After these two transactions that can affect the team's chemical reaction came out, the NBA free market calmed down a little.One after another, some news that most fans are not surprised by broke out.

就比如太阳队2年2200万续约史蒂夫纳什，再比如湖人队用1份4年3300万的合同续约了奥多姆……

These contract extensions were all expected by most people, so even if they happened, they didn't cause any big discussions.

However, this is the first day of the free market, and there are still many deals under negotiation that have not yet been revealed!
For these general managers, they have at least two and a half months to be more patient with each other, in order to finally reach a result that both parties can be satisfied with.

Of course, there are also some transactions that have just started.

Steve Kerr, who was sitting in the general manager's office at the moment, accidentally received a call from Cavaliers general manager Griffin.

"Man, if I want to get the sun, what kind of chips do you think I need to put up?"

"Well... let's exchange it with LeBron James, I might think about it!"

"Hahahaha!"

The two first exchanged a few jokes.

Steve Kerr certainly can not sell the sun, this is something everyone knows.

Just like everyone knows that the Cavaliers will not sell LeBron James.

However, to be honest, even if the Cavaliers are really willing to exchange LeBron James for the sun, Steve Kerr may not be willing to do so. This year's playoffs, the Cavaliers fell to the Eastern Conference finals, and "Warcraft" Howard became famous in the first battle.

After all, no one dared to say who could replace LeBron James before this year...

But this summer, many experts in the arena have believed that "Dwight Howard is a man who can replace LeBron James alone."

Although this statement is unlikely to become a reality.

But at least.In the eyes of many experts, the value of LeBron James is already measurable by price!
In addition, this guy has been unwilling to renew his contract with the Cavaliers, and the contract will expire next year.

Steve Kerr traded the sun for him, that's something you only do when you're full!

It's completely unnecessary!

Of course, this is a joke, something to say and listen to.

Immediately afterwards, Griffin stated the real purpose of his call: "Man, I want Shaq O'Neal, let's discuss the feasibility of this matter!"

　Thanks to Fan Zhen for the 100 coins.
