NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 300 301. Free Market (1 words ask for a monthly pass!)

April 7

Liu Rui chose the earliest flight and flew directly to Sun City Phoenix.

And before, Liu Rui had asked Smith to investigate a series of detailed methods such as phone number and home address.

After all, it is very convenient within the alliance to investigate these things.

There is no need for Smith to use his contacts at all.

According to this address, Liu Rui chose to take a taxi directly.

Sitting in the taxi, Liu Rui looked out the window, unknowingly, it has been almost a year since he came here.

This year still looks very dreamy to Liu Rui, like a dream, but Liu Rui hopes that this dream can last a little longer...

After paying the money, Liu Rui got out of the car and came to the door of a residence.

He picked up his phone, chose a number, and dialed it.

beep-beep-beep

"Hello, who are you?"

"Haha, hello, let me introduce myself first, I am the head coach of the Bobcats, and my name is Liu Rui."

"Huh?! Coach Liu Rui?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was also obviously a little surprised. After all, the name Liu Rui is really unknown in today's NBA.

After all, this name now represents the inspirational allusion that young people can be coaches, and grass roots can counterattack.

"Haha, it's me, and I'm at your door right now. If it's convenient, don't you plan to open the door and buy me a drink?"

Liu Rui said to the other end of the phone with a smile.

"What?! You're right in front of my house? Oh my god, wait a minute, I'll come and open the door for you right away."

Afterwards, Liu Rui heard hurried footsteps coming from the other end of the phone, obviously planning to come over and open the door for Liu Rui.

Not long after, Liu Rui saw a black player walking out of the room in his pajamas.

Presumably, Liu Rui must have just woken up when he called him.

"Coach Liu Rui is far away. You didn't tell me before you came, which made you stand at the gate for so long."

"Haha, I just arrived. Besides, if I'm waiting for you, even if I stand a little longer, I won't suggest it at all."

It doesn't cost money to say nice words, and everyone likes to hear such words. For Liu Rui, who has seen too many jokes in later generations, it is easy to come by.

At this time, it was none other than Joe Johnson who made Liu Rui come to visit in person, who played for the Phoenix Suns last season! !

In later generations, the man known as the Eagle King, modern Jordan and singles king!
"Haha, the media say that you, Coach Liu Rui, are humorous and funny. Looking at it this way, it's true. Please come in, please come in."

Hearing Liu Rui's words, Qiao Johnson also smiled.

Obviously, Liu Rui does not have the burden of a coach, and in the conversation, Joe Johnson also felt more casual.

Followed Joe Johnson into the house, and Liu Rui chose to come to him precisely because this season was Joe Johnson's contract year.

As for why not renew the contract with the Suns, because Joe Johnson has relatively big ambitions.

He has always wanted to be the boss of a team, but in the Suns, he can only be inferior to Nash, Stoudemire and Marion.

This is obviously unacceptable for a player with strength and ambition.

Therefore, as early as last season, Joe Johnson had already reported to the management, saying that he would definitely leave the team next season.

After a long period of dissuasion by the Suns management, they found that Joe Johnson also wanted to leave the team wholeheartedly, and there was nothing he could do.

But the Suns once achieved the league's first record this season. In people's eyes at the time, they were definitely the team with the highest chance of hitting the championship.

So even if it is a contract year, it is impossible for the Suns management to choose to trade Joe Johnson.

After all, this is the team that won the championship. Even if the management loves money, it is impossible to make fun of the championship.

After all, the operation of a season is for the final championship.

However, with the failure of the Suns in the playoffs, watching Johnson's contract expire and finally let go for nothing, the Suns management was very reluctant.

And because of signing with the Suns, Joe Johnson can sign a five-year maximum salary contract and sign with other teams, and can only sign a four-year contract at most.

So at this point, the Suns management will find Johnson to have a conversation during the offseason, which is the so-called sign first and then change.

In this way, Joe Johnson can get a five-year maximum salary contract, and the Suns can use Joe Johnson, who is about to expire, to exchange for new blood for the Suns.

However, it is also due to the great limitations of signing first and then changing, because most teams like to sign players directly during the offseason.

If you sign first and then change, the team will have to lose some immediate combat power or draft picks, which is actually not worthwhile.

So this approach also led to a greatly reduced number of teams for Joe Johnson to choose from.

Otherwise, if it is a direct contract, at least more than half of the teams in the entire league want to get Johnson.

And Johnson chose to leave the Suns since he wanted to be the boss of the team.

So if you go to a playoff-level team, it is difficult for any team to meet his requirements.

After all, the teams that can enter the playoffs all have their own stars, so generally in this case, they will choose a weaker team.

This kind of signing first and then changing will inevitably involve young people with potential, or immediate combat power plus draft picks.

But no matter what it is, these two things are regarded as treasures for the fishy team.

Therefore, this is more like a gamble, and many teams have begun to retreat.

The team that wants to trade with the Suns, Joe Johnson doesn't want to go, and the team that Joe Johnson wants to go to, doesn't want to make this deal with the Suns.

So this also led to the fact that in the previous life, the transaction was delayed until August 8th before it was barely completed.

At that time, it was the underdog Eagles who chose to trade with the Suns.

At the time, the Suns traded free agent Joe Johnson to the Hawks in a sign-and-trade for Boris Diaw and two future first-round picks.

The reason the deal dragged on until then was that the draft picks hadn't been negotiated.

At the time, Dior was like an accessory. After all, in that season, Dior averaged only four points and two rebounds per game.

It was also when he was traded to the Suns that Diaw played his peak season. Of course, these are all things to come.

At this stage, Liu Rui is very clear that the Suns and Joe Johnson have not reached an agreement.

Although Joe Johnson is more excited about being able to get the maximum salary, if he can't be sent to a team he likes.

No matter how much money there is, it is meaningless, and it is no different from staying in the sun.

Therefore, it can be said that Liu Rui used God's perspective to make a time difference in advance and found Joe Johnson.

"Really, you are very good in the league now. It is really incredible to lead the Bobcats to the playoffs last year."

After entering the room, Johnson took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and handed one to Liu Rui.

"Haha, indeed, the team's current potential is not bad, but unfortunately, it lacks a real head star and a real scorer. This has always been the shortcoming of the Bobcats."

Staring at Qiao Johnson in front of him, Liu Rui said with a smile.

Hearing Liu Rui's words, Qiao Johnson was obviously stunned for a moment, but then a smile appeared on his face.

"Johnson, we don't speak secretly. I know that there must have been other teams looking for you before I came, so in fact, you should have guessed the purpose of my visit just now."

"I will tell you about the current situation of the team, and I hope you can make a rational choice."

Seeing the smile on Qiao Johnson in front of him, Liu Rui also knew that he obviously understood what he said.

After all, before me, there must have been other team managements who had called Johnson.

The head coach of a team found a free agent during the offseason. I am afraid that he can figure out what it is for even if he thinks with his toes.

However, speaking on the phone or in person, there is actually no difference. The final difference lies in the reasons each team can give.

"Well, all ears."

Qiao Johnson smiled, looked at Liu Rui in front of him, and felt that this was really an interesting person.

"The Bobcats currently need potential and strength. At least I can assure you that the Bobcats can actually make it to the playoffs this season, so there will be absolutely no problems next season."

"However, the Lynx team still has a big shortcoming, that is, the team lacks a real star player, that is, a scorer at critical moments."

"Although Wallace was selected as an All-Star last year, and he is a disciple trained by me, I have to admit that he is really only suitable for being a second-in-command."

"Compared to his contribution on the offensive end, his contribution on the defensive end of the court is the reason why he can be selected as an All-Star."

"And you are currently a free agent. What the Bobcats lack, you happen to be able to give. So next, we only need to talk about the conditions that the team can offer you. As for the ball, you don't have to worry about it."

Glancing at Qiao Johnson in front of him, Liu Rui thought for a while, then continued to say:
"First of all, I can assure you that after you come to the Bobcats, you will definitely be a well-deserved star. While I will give you unlimited shooting rights, you will also become the team's first choice on the offensive end."

"You don't have to have the slightest doubt about this, because I am the head coach of the team, and, at present, I still have more say in the team."

"This point can fully satisfy your desire to be the boss of the team, and after you come to the team, you don't have to worry about running in with the players."

"The current young Bobcats players are all trained by me, so I have the absolute right to speak. If you change to a new team, at least you don't have to worry about those bullshit things."

"The second is of course the contract issue. I don't know what the Suns told you, but what I want to say is, indeed, you can sign a five-year maximum salary by signing with the Suns."

"But you should be very clear that when you get this money, it will also limit your way out. Whether this is in line with your original intention, I think you need to think about it."

"Also, I can offer you a four-year contract. In four years, the money you can get will be about 1000 million less than your maximum salary."

"But I will add incentive clauses in the contract, you know, these things are not included in the salary."

"For example, if you average more than 20 points per game, I will give you an incentive bonus of 200 million yuan. If you are selected as an All-Star, you will be given another 200 million yuan. At the end of the season, you will be given another 200 million yuan if you are selected to the best team. In fact, the money you get is not much less."

"You may think that as a team coach, I am talking to you, but I can tell you responsibly that I can make decisions about these things."

"Because relative to the money, the Bobcats' goal is still very lofty. Believe it or not, our ultimate goal is the championship."

Having said so much, Liu Rui also felt a little thirsty, took a sip of the drink in front of him, and waited patiently for Joe Johnson's answer.

"To be honest, what you said sounds very tempting, at least it is the same as my ideal state."

"But if I can go to a team that I like, I can actually get all the things you said above."

"However, regarding what you said just now, I admit that I am indeed a little moved, but, you know, I still want to hear the offers from other teams."

For Joe Johnson's answer, Liu Rui obviously had expected it a long time ago. After all, this is a star player, not the veteran or rookie that Liu Rui targeted before.

Answering more quotes, this is definitely the most truthful answer.

However, seeing that the duck was about to be obtained, Liu Rui didn't want any changes.

After thinking for a while, Liu Rui decided to use his trump card.

"Okay, what you said makes sense, but there is one more thing I can offer you. I can guarantee that, except for the Bobcats, no other team in the league can give you such a thing."

"I will also add a "transaction veto right" to you in the contract!"

Drinking a drink, Liu Rui leaned on the sofa with a smile. Sure enough, the feeling of zooming in was really cool.

"what?!"

Hearing Liu Rui's words, Qiao Johnson was obviously very shocked.

Because in history, there are only a handful of people who can get the right to veto transactions.

And there is no doubt that everyone is a super giant who can leave a name in history.

The deal veto right is also known as the "untradeable clause".

This type of clause is only applicable to two situations. The first one is that the player has given special instructions when signing with the team.

The second type is an unrestricted free agent who has played in the NBA for more than 8 years and has played for the same team for more than 4 years.

However, the first situation is very difficult. Only a very small number of players can get the team to agree to sign the "overlord" clause when they sign with the team.

In the history of the NBA, not even Michael Jordan has the right to veto transactions.

At present, in the history of the NBA, there is only one player with the right to veto transactions, and that is Kobe Bryant, who just signed a new contract last season.

Moreover, this is currently the only transaction veto right in the entire league.

Bryant became an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2004, just finishing his eighth season.

In this case, the Lakers finally signed a 7-year super contract of 1 million U.S. dollars with Kobe including the right to veto the transaction.

And 8 years, just gave Kobe the opportunity to add the "overlord clause", so the first overlord contract in NBA history came into being.

As for Garnett, Duncan, James, Nowitzki, Anthony and others who also had this clause later, none of them have this honor yet.

As of now, in the entire history of the NBA, in 04, Kobe was the first player to truly have the right to veto a transaction, and it is also the only one so far.

The conditions that Liu Rui offered to Joe Johnson were obviously even rarer than Kobe's.

Because Kobe played for the team for eight years, which is the transaction veto power generated by the second point.

And Liu Rui directly signed the contract with the right to veto the transaction, which is the first point.

Even if Liu Rui is reborn, looking at the entire history of the NBA, there are only three people who can use the first point of veto to sign and trade with the team.

Respectively, Garnett renewed his contract with the Celtics in 12, and the right to veto transactions was added to the contract.

And the contract signed by Anthony and the Knicks in 14 with the right to veto transactions.

The last one is the contract that James signed with the Cavaliers in [-].

The rest of Duncan, Nowitzki, and Wade all signed with the team through the second point, and thus added the right to veto the transaction.

That's why Joe Johnson was so shocked when Liu Rui said this condition.

If this thing really comes true, it is no exaggeration to say that Joe Johnson will become the second person in history!

The reason why Liu Rui made this condition is precisely because Joe Johnson is not a cancer player, he is really capable of leading the team to win.

And since Liu Rui traded him here, he never thought of trading him out.

After all, Liu Rui is very clear that Joe Johnson has not had any serious injuries, and he will only play better and better in the past few years, thus entering the All-Star.

And for Liu Rui's two lives, even if he can't trade players, if Liu Rui really wants to punish him, there are still too many ways in the team.

However, this right is definitely the most supreme power for players. Throughout history, those who can have the right to veto transactions are undoubtedly Hall of Fame players.

None of them are superstars! !

So for the ultimate move I gave, it is definitely lethal enough for the players.

At the very least, Liu Rui is very confident that in this alliance, apart from himself, no one else will give Joe Johnson the right to veto a deal.

Because no one except himself will know what Joe Johnson will be and how he will play in the next four years.

No one knows Joe Johnson's future achievements and statistics.

This is your biggest advantage! !
"This... this... this..., what you said is true, Coach Liu Rui?! Are you sure you're not kidding me."

Hearing Liu Rui's words, Qiao Johnson felt very shocked, and after realizing it, he became very excited.

After all, leaving the Suns and choosing to go to a weak team, Joe Johnson just wanted to prove himself.

If he is purely for making money, then he can stay in the Suns, so that while he is making money, he has strong teammates around him to help.

However, for Joe Johnson, he obviously wants to prove himself more.

That's why he decided that he wanted to join a weak team and become a star himself, so as to justify his name.

And what Liu Rui said just now was not only exactly what he thought, but most importantly, Liu Rui actually said in the end that he would give himself the right to veto the deal! ! !
As an ambitious player, Joe Johnson understands what the trade veto means, which means that this player will leave his name in history in the future.

It means that this will become the second player in the entire NBA history to have this right after Kobe! !

For Joe Johnson, who is bent on chasing fame and fortune, this can no longer be said to be a direct hit, it can be said to be an instant climax! !

"Haha, don't be nervous. I, Liu Rui, don't have many advantages, but I've always kept my promises."

"Including what I promised you before, after I come, I will give you unlimited shots, and the team will use you as the first offensive choice."

"The contract will still include incentive clauses for you, and in the end, I will give you the right to veto the transaction!!"

"Today, I didn't choose to contact you by phone, but came here in person. In fact, I just want your affirmative answer."

"You should know that if you can't get an affirmative answer, for a team, it will miss a lot of players during the offseason."

"So now that my sincerity has been expressed, should you also tell me your answer?"

Staring at Qiao Johnson in front of him, at least Liu Rui is already confident.

Relying on his God's perspective, he already had an absolute advantage, and coupled with his final killer move, Joe Johnson had no reason to refuse at all.

At the very least, the conditions offered by the Suns seemed too petty in comparison.

"Hmm... Although I really want to be more reserved, I really can't find a reason to refuse so far, haha."

Obviously, the conditions offered by Liu Rui have already greatly exceeded Joe Johnson's expectations.

It can be said that apart from the fact that you will get a few million dollars less than staying in the sun, the rest of the conditions are not comparable to the sun.

As for the comparison between this little money and the right to veto the transaction.

Ha ha.

Only then did he find out that the Suns are really dunking. I'm glad I didn't choose to renew my contract with the Suns, hehe...

"Haha, happy, once the free market starts in August, I will let the team sign you directly."

"And I'm very confident. The condition I gave can be said to be at a historical level. I believe that you should not turn back."

"Then I look forward to joining forces with you next season, then we will see you in August."

Looking at Qiao Johnson with a smile, Liu Rui felt that this matter was definitely close to each other.

After all, this condition, looking at the entire league, no!Throughout history, apart from Liu Rui, no one else dared to open it!

"Haha, maybe I don't have any merits as a person, but I always keep my word. As long as you investigate carefully, you should find out what kind of person I am."

"Don't worry, even if there is a team looking for me in the future, I will refuse to communicate, because I really don't think there is any good offer to accept."

"And to be honest, even if there is no condition you said last, I will seriously consider it. After all, the Bobcats are all young players. This is my dream team."

"And the condition you threw out at the end is simply heart-pounding. I have to say, I admire you for being a courageous person."

"I can only say that I won't let you down. What I can give back to you is on the field. Let's see you next season, the courageous coach Liu Rui!"

He clapped his hands hard with Liu Rui, and the two looked at each other and smiled...

...............

April 7

After completing the biggest task of the offseason, Liu Rui also relaxed.

In the past few days, I just stayed at home and played games by myself all day, and then I ate and drank like crazy, living like a fairy.

I don’t envy mandarin ducks, I don’t envy immortals, I just envy a house, draw a circle, write food and play in the middle of the circle, and be happy every day from now on

And today is the day when the summer league officially starts.

Liu Rui also asked Montgomery to take Cole and others, as well as the rookies in the team, and let them pick a few players who could play without the ball, and play casually.

After all, Liu Rui really has a lot of confidence in his vision for the draft.

And after being busy with the coaching staff, the draft and the big fish in the free market this season, Liu Rui finally ushered in his free time.

At present, we only need to wait until the free market opens in August and the team officially completes the contract with Joe Johnson. Then, Liu Rui only needs to make some more moves in the free market, and then this season will completely complete the task.

As for the master Lu Wei said before, Liu Rui was not in a hurry.

Because Liu Rui knew very well that he was currently in a state where no one cared about him. It would be too cheap for him to go to him so early.

Let him panic for a while, and then show up by himself, I'm afraid it should be better.

And after this year's rookie players joined the team, Liu Rui also took time to visit the arena.

A chat with the three draft picks this year.

That is to encourage them to perform well in the summer league, although Liu Rui doesn't watch it at all...

During this period, many things happened in the league. First of all, Bickerstaff, the former assistant coach of the Bobcats Liu Rui, officially served as the head coach of the Warriors.

Then last season, the head coach of the Pistons, Larry Brown, directly entered the giants of the New York Knicks after get out of class, and will serve as the head coach of the new season.

The Pistons hired former Timberwolves coach Saunders as the team's new head coach.

It is worth mentioning that when Montgomery, the former head coach of the Warriors, announced that he would become the chief assistant coach next to Liu Rui, there was also a heated discussion in this league.

Although Montgomery is not a very successful head coach in the league, as the godfather of NCAa basketball, he was able to let go of his figure and serve as an assistant coach next to Liu Rui, which is obviously not a small news.

Moreover, it is precisely because of this that Liu Rui's name was once again exposed to the eyes of the fans.

Many people began to discuss what kind of magical power Liu Rui possessed.

It can make an NCAA veteran voluntarily put down his body and work as an assistant coach by his side.

And those who are interested have also discovered that the coaching staff of the Bobcats has also completed a major change this season, so many people have also expressed concern about the Bobcats' style of play.

I don't know what kind of changes the new coaching staff will have compared to last season.

And the fans are also very curious about what kind of reinforcements the Bobcats, which have salary space, will carry out during the offseason.

Relying on the performance of rookies, the Bobcats have successfully made a difference in the playoffs, so more and more people are looking forward to the performance of the Bobcats in the new season.

But for Chinese fans, the happiest thing is, of course, that according to inside sources, the Bobcats will offer Wang Zhizhi a contract in the new season.

Although the specific number of years and salary have not been disclosed, at least it means that he can generally continue to compete on the NBA stage.

"Uncle Liu Rui, when will sister Ivan Ka come to play with us? I'm so bored. We haven't gone out for a long time."

Seeing Liu Rui lying on the sofa playing games, the little girl Limiya ran over and said coquettishly to Liu Rui.

"Sister Ivan Ka is very busy, we can't delay her work, do you know, and you have finished your homework, and you still have to go out to play, should I tell your mother."

"Ah! You are a big villain! Limia doesn't play with you anymore, you actually want to sue, Diudiu!!"

"Limia doesn't sue the teacher at school, but you actually want to tell mom, huh, Uncle Liu Rui, you are bad!!"

Looking at Limia who was so teased and sulking, Liu Rui also felt amused.

So Liu Rui cherishes the present period very much. After all, Liu Rui knows that it will not be long before he will re-enter the new season.

With the great changes in the lineup in the new season, the team is bound to start a new run-in.

So when Liu Rui arrives, I'm afraid he will be in a hurry.

The only thing that makes Liu Rui feel gratified is that the coaching staff of the Bobcats this season can be said to be relatively strong.

When the time is right, Liu Rui can finally be lazy...

By the way, I don't know when that Tyronn Lue will retire...

...............

April 8

The days of staying at home as an otaku go by too fast
During this period, Liu Rui ate and drank every day, and when Ivan Ka was free, the two took Limia out to play.

In a blink of an eye, it was August. As soon as August entered, the entire alliance could be said to be a group of demons dancing wildly.

The free market has opened, and all the teams are like crazy, all kinds of news are flying all over the sky, and if you don't pay attention, you may miss a certain big news.

But on this day, no matter how big the star signed, they were completely suppressed by the Bobcats.

After 24 o'clock in the morning, the Bobcats officially announced directly on their official website that they signed a 4-year 5500 million contract with free agent Joe Johnson.

If it is just this contract, although it can be called a big deal, it is not so surprising.

After all, in this offseason, there are simply too many contracts bigger than this, but what really shocks people is.

In this contract, the Bobcats actually gave Joe Johnson the right to veto the transaction! !

At this point, the second transaction veto in NBA history was officially born.

And the two veto rights are still so close. After all, Kobe just signed a contract with veto rights last season, and Joe Johnson signed another one this season.

Once the details of this contract were announced, it also caused an uproar in the entire league.

Even many retired stars feel incredible, saying that the Bobcats are still too young.

The newly established team doesn't know what the trade veto means, and thinks that the Bobcats will definitely regret this choice in a few years.

For the evaluation of the outside world, Liu Rui did not accept it.

After all, those retired stars have nothing to do every day, and they are useless except for beeping.

The original Suns were still very surprised, because during the offseason, they had a good conversation with Joe Johnson before, but when they called Johnson again, Johnson simply refused to answer.

After finding Johnson's residence, he found that there was no one there.

The Suns management managed to find out some news. According to neighbors, Johnson went on a trip in early July.

This made the management of the Suns feel very anxious. What's the situation? !

Traveling at this time, is this deliberately hiding from us? !
It wasn't until this time that the Bobcats announced the contract that the Suns realized it.

Although it is very dissatisfied, it is obvious that no one would have thought that the Bobcats would offer the right to veto the transaction. After all, this courage is very great.

However, although the Lynx team has brought a lot of shock to everyone, the trade reinforcements of each team have not stopped at all.

After all, what the Bobcats want to do is their own business, but it is really their own business to strengthen the team! !
From the beginning of August, in the next few days, each team can be said to have successively burst out transactions and signings.

The phone calls of the general manager of each team can be said to be basically busy.

The phone bill for this period of time has made the communication company a lot of money.

April 8

The Cavaliers took the lead in revealing strong reinforcements.

Last season, the Cavaliers finally only ranked ninth in the East, and the eighth Nets in the East were only one win away.

This allows the Cavaliers' management to aim for the playoffs this season, and since James has been determined to be the core of the team, it is also for the Cavaliers' management to strengthen at all costs.

The Cavaliers officially announced:

The Cavaliers signed with the Wizards' free agent Larry Hughes, signed with the Raptors' free agent Marshall, and completed the extension with the team's free agent Ilgauskas.

After this set, it also instantly upgraded the Cavaliers' lineup.

After all, whether it is Larry Hughes or Marshall, both of them averaged double figures last season.

The Wizards completed a deal with the Lakers, using Kwame Brown and guard Profit for Caron Butler plus Atkins.

At this point, the Wizards' outside three Musketeers are also fully formed.

Seeing this, Liu Rui knew that the Wizards might become a big threat to the Bobcats next season.

The Heat even broke out and signed a five-year, [-] million contract with Shaquille O'Neal.

This signing also attracted complaints from many people. Some people think that the big shark is old, and this signing may eventually become a garbage contract.

Some people also think that O'Neal can rule the penalty area with his body alone. This signing can be said to be a steady profit without losing money. At the very least, it can help the Heat continue to become the championship team.

Liu Rui didn't pay too much attention to these messes, because at this time, the Bobcats' free agents who expired this season have already begun to sign.

Seeing that his former players have found their next home, Liu Rui is also happy for them in his heart.

The first is Damon Stoudemire, who signed with the Grizzlies as a free agent. The specific details of the contract have not been announced.

But no matter what, Little Flying Squirrel got his wish and found his next home.

And House joined the Bobcats' old rival Celtics.

It is precisely because of House's cold sword outside the three-point line in last year's playoffs that the Celtics broke out in a cold sweat.

For a small contract to be able to sign House, the Celtics also directly chose to make a decisive shot.

Veteran Steve Smith, currently there is no news.

If there is no accident, I am afraid that he will also face retirement.

Eli the Beast signed with the Warriors as a free agent.

In this regard, Liu Rui also finds it quite interesting. After all, the Warriors can be regarded as another home for Bobcats players.

As for the signing of CBA legend Sampson, Liu Rui never expected it.

Sampson signed a two-year contract with the Rockets as a free agent, but the specific amount has not been announced, but it should not be too high.

And Liu Rui, at this time, is concerned about the Rockets' dynamics.

In his previous life, during this year's offseason, Yao Ming chose to renew his contract with the Rockets in advance, and the contract will be around 8000 million for five years.

However, in this life, there has been no news of this contract for a long time.

Presumably, Yao Ming should have had some estrangement with the Rockets at this time.

Although Liu Rui is not sure whether this contract will happen this year, but of course Liu Rui hopes that it will not happen.

Although Yao Ming has potential injuries, once Yao Ming enters the market as a free agent.

In today's era, it can be said that there is no need to worry about getting a big contract.

So for the news about Yao Ming, Liu Rui has been waiting and watching...

…………

April 8

In the past few days, there have been many deals and contract renewals from the league, but Liu Rui didn't pay attention to them.

Liu Rui kept some famous transfers in his mind, and naturally Liu Rui didn't bother to look at the transfers that were not famous.

Now, the Bobcats' lineup for next season is basically determined:

Defenders: Joe Johnson, Martin, Mo Williams, Lou Williams.

Forwards: Gerald Wallace, Danny Granger, Ariza, Kareem.

Insiders: Okafor, David Lee, Al Jefferson, Wang Zhizhi, Buffalo White, Zaza Pachulia.

Of the 15-man roster for the season, only one is missing now! !

So today, Liu Rui got up as usual, drank a glass of milk, and got himself two portions of bread.

Then I looked at the date, and felt that the time was about the same. It was time to complete my last puzzle of this season...

　2 words!This is already the limit of the old cat, with a daily change of [-], I am really too tired, I feel that my body is no longer mine...
