NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 333 Crazy Free Market

After the draft, the free market soon opened.

The Hornets' Miles immediately started to act after Presti's instruction!All the previous doubts about Presti have long since dissipated!He didn't expect that Presti really did it, and won the O'Brien trophy in just two years!I also got the championship ring when I just entered the league, it's too dreamy!

Miles has been communicating with the general managers of various teams these days, and finally the Hornets and the Pistons reached a deal to trade Mbah a Moute and the second-round pick in the second year to the Pistons, and get Middleton from the Pistons!

When Presti heard the news, he was both surprised and delighted. He didn't expect Miles to do it!In fact, Presti thought too complicated!Mbah a Moute peak guard swingman, excellent defense, three-pointers are passable!The Pistons need such a player, and it also comes with a second-round pick.

And Middleton doesn't look like a player with potential. The reason is that the draft prospect is really bad!Although it was wanted by the Hornets, to be honest, Presti's excellent players in the second round over the years are Mbah a Moute and Jordan. Jordan had at least a good prospect at the beginning, and Middleton was not optimistic from the beginning.

Quickly, the Hornets signed Middleton with a three-year minimum salary contract, but when signing the contract, Presti gave Middleton a promise that he would definitely make him a top player in the league, and the contract for the next year would satisfy him!
Middleton was instantly moved inside. It was a great surprise that a second-round pick like him was promised by the best coach in the league. To be honest, many second-round players were no longer in the NBA in less than a year! .

Miles made another deal and that was to sign Ray Allen!Of course, this made many Celtics fans a little dissatisfied, but it was far less serious than in the previous life, because Ray Allen joined the Western team instead of the Eastern team. They didn’t know if the Celtics could break through from the Eastern Conference. How could they hate Ray Allen so much for joining the Western team?
Of course, in the end, Okafor still did not trade out, and no one was willing to accept it. Although he played well last season, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Okafor had a hidden injury. If he was reimbursed after a few hits, how would he play?
When Okafor was traded out in the previous life, he had to exchange for Mr. Lewis, a billionaire. Now the Hornets don't want to produce players, they can only produce draft picks, or the second round, who wants it?
So far, the Hornets lineup has confirmed 15 people, and there is no way to sign any more.

Center: Whiteside, Anthony Davis, Okafor.

Power forwards: David West, Draymond, Jason Smith.

Small forwards: Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Khris Middleton.

Shooting guards: Bradley, Thompson, Ray Allen, Belinelli.

Point guard: Stephen Curry, Livingston.

In the end, the Hornets retained the FMVP of the Finals with a value of 4 million in 4400 years. This contract extension caused a big wave of exaggeration.

And Curry himself said with a smile: "I know my level. Presti played very well when he was in the Thunder. At least I am satisfied. But coach Presti left, and I was abolished! Now I return to Presti's team again and play well, so I can only play my value here! In other players, I have no confidence!"

In July, Presti told these rookies to train hard this holiday and strive to win the summer league championship. After all, Presti's team has won many times!Although Presti is not leading the team this time, this tradition must still be maintained! "

The Hornets' lineup has been formed, and other teams that want to rush to the championship are trying their best to strengthen the lineup, especially the Thunder and Heat, the two teams closest to the championship!
Of course, the Spurs are not too far behind. Now the Spurs' GDP is still promising, and they want to take the last chance to win the O'Brien trophy again!They did it in the previous life, but now Presti can only say sorry!
Although the Spurs want to fish in the market, unfortunately, there are not many. Excellent veterans have to join the Hornets to win the championship with a big thigh! , while the young one wants to stay in the bad team to collect statistics and strive for a big contract!

The Spurs only signed Patty Mills. What can I say about this player? Patty Mills has excellent vision and superb passing skills. He is extremely fast, has strong breakthrough and outside scoring abilities, and has a certain defensive ability. In his previous life, he also won the championship with the Spurs!It's a good puzzle.

The Timberwolves and the Rockets also had a deal. The Timberwolves have agreed to use the No. 18 pick in exchange for the Rockets' small forward Budinger.At the same time, the Rockets also gave the Timberwolves the signing rights of Israeli player Ilyahu (2006 rookie, 44th pick).

While the Clippers sent a special case of the transaction, they also sent the second-round rookie of the draft, power forward Furkan Admir from Turkey to the Rockets, and the Houstonians sent part of the cash to the Mavericks.

Of course, the Rockets deal is not over yet, the Rockets and the Raptors have reached an agreement on the deal for point guard Kyle Lowry.It is reported that the Rockets sent the "Small Steel Cannon" and got forward Gary Forbes from the Raptors, as well as at least one future draft pick.

Presti knew with open eyes that Lowry became an All-Star in the end, and the assets that the Rockets exchanged for were completely pitfalls. Gary Forbes quickly disappeared from the NBA, and the pick was only a second-round pick!Although Lowry is called the trash brother in the east, he is also an All-Star no matter how trash he is, and he made great contributions to the later Raptors.

Free agent Marcus Camby joined the Knicks in a sign-and-trade. The new contract is $3 million for three years. The Rockets got three players, two second-round picks and some cash in the deal.

The three players acquired by the Rockets are guard Tony Douglas, forward Josh Harrison, and center Jerome Jordan. The two second-round picks are from 2014 and 2015 respectively. Of course, the transaction amount is unknown.

In the deal just completed between the Rockets and the Kings, the Sacramento Kings traded power forward Thomas Robinson, small forward Francisco Garcia, small forward Tyler Honeycutt and a future second-round pick to the Houston Rockets.
The bargaining chips sent by the Rockets are Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldridge and Tony Douglas, as well as some cash.In a separate trade, the Rockets traded Marcus Morris to the Phoenix Suns for a future second-round pick

Although the Rockets are very active in this market, if the Rockets want to take off this season, of course it depends on whether the deal with the Thunder can be completed.

Presti knew James Harden and the Thunder's current GM would be coming to talk to him about it soon!Presti has decided to keep Harden in the Thunder!Because it is better to face one than to face two powerful enemies,
And Harden is definitely not as good as the Rockets in the Thunder. We all know the reason. Even if he is a super sixth man, how much possession can he have?Without the ball, Harden's threat will be greatly reduced, playing without the ball?Is that still the Harden who killed the Quartet in the previous life?

The Atlanta Hawks and the Brooklyn Nets have reached a deal. Joe Johnson will become a member of the Nets in exchange for five players.In addition, the Nets also sent a first-round pick from the Rockets to the Hawks, which is lottery protected.Stevenson of the five is a free agent, so he took a sign-and-trade approach in this deal.

Among the five players acquired by the Eagles, except for Stevenson who was signed first and then traded, the contracts of Morrow, Farmar and Petrol are all around $400 million, and Jordan Williams is worth more than $70, and the contracts of these players will all expire next summer.

In addition to Johnson's deal, the Eagles also reached a deal with the Jazz, sending forward swingman Marvin Williams to the Jazz in exchange for guard Devin Harris.Williams' two-year, $2 million deal was swapped for Harris' one-year, $1580 million deal.

The Hawks hired new general manager Danny Ferry at the end of June this year.Ferry was the general manager of the Cavaliers from 2005 to 2010 and built a decent team around James.Now coming to the Eagles to make continuous transactions, needless to say, it is definitely going to be bad!

And the bad effect is really good. In the previous life, the Eagles once won the first place in the Eastern Conference. Of course, in the playoffs, they will inevitably be defeated by the Big Three of James, Irving, and Love!
The Lakers are going to make a radical change, and Presti knows that soon they will make the most shocking trade in this free market!Of course, the result must be a word "miserable", this transaction basically overdrawn the Lakers!The Lakers have not turned around for several years. In fact, their approach is also understandable. After all, they want to take advantage of Kobe's last peak period and fight hard to win a championship!
But the problem is that what they get in exchange is the tail of the peak's tail!In the end, Kobe ruptured his Achilles tendon!And this reason is also one of the reasons why even if the magician took office, he was still tied up!

In the previous life, the magician had the opportunity to get the combination of George + Leonard + James, but he didn't dare to overdraft the deal, so in the end, James led a group of young people to support him!

Of course, this deal didn't make Presti wait too long. The deal happened quickly. The Lakers got Nash, and the Suns got two first-round picks (2013 and 2015), two second-round picks (2013 and 2014), a trade exception worth $890 million, and $300 million in cash.

This was the first transaction of the Lakers tragedy, and the second transaction followed, much earlier than in the previous life, perhaps because of the butterfly effect. The Hornets’ strong pressure on the Western Conference teams that want to win the championship is somewhat unable to hold their heads up. They must quickly strengthen their strengths.

The Lakers passed the four-party deal proposed by the Magic, and Howard officially joined the Lakers!

Lakers Receive: Howard Earl Clark, Chris Duhon, Send: Bynum, McRoberts, Ainga, 2015 second-round and 2017 first-round picks (both protected)

Magic get: Afflalo Harrington Harkris Vucevic Mike Roberts Ienga 2013 second-round pick (from Nuggets) 2014 first-round pick (from Nuggets) 2015 protected first-round pick (from 76ers) 2015 second-round protected pick (from Lakers) 2017 protected first-round pick (from Lakers) Send: Howard Du Hong Clarke Richardson

76ers get: Bynum Richardson sends: Andre Iguodala Harkris Vucevic 2015 first-round protected pick

Nuggets get: Andre Iguodala Send: Afflalo Harrington 2013 second-round pick 2014 first-round pick

The news is that Howard will not renew his contract with the Lakers immediately, and is likely to become a completely free agent at the end of next season.In addition, the Lakers power forward Gasol, who had been considered to be traded before, was not traded in the end and stayed with the Lakers.And Presti also knew that Howard did not stay with the Lakers in the end!Therefore, it is called "Happy Beast" by many fans of the Lakers!

This news directly set off a shock in the entire league, and people shouted: "The Lakers have risen, the Lakers are the championship! Next season's NBA finale!"

The Lakers' center was replaced by Howard!This man with consecutive DOPY, blocked shots, and rebounds, the guard was replaced by Nash, this two-time MVP, do other teams still have a chance?

Joining Los Angeles this time will form the strongest Big Four in history with Kobe, Nash, and Gasol. Their combat power will be immeasurable, and their chances of winning the championship will greatly increase. Next time they will surpass the Hornets and the Heat to become the biggest championship contender.

In addition, the Lakers have also made minor repairs. The Lakers have renewed their contract with Devin Ebanks. In addition, the Lakers also signed former Philadelphia 76ers guard Jody Meeks.At this point, the Lakers' reinforcements are over, and they will hit the championship next season!
The Bulls have also made reinforcements. They are also strong opponents of the Eastern Heat. Free agent Hinrich has reached an agreement in principle with the Bulls. The two parties will formally sign the contract on July 7, local time.It is reported that Hinrich's contract is likely to be a two-year contract with a total value of about 11 million US dollars. Rose tore the ligament of his left knee in the first game of the playoffs last season. It is very important for the Bulls to sign Hinrich.

After the Suns left Nash, the power forward Luis Scola, who will enter the reconstruction of the Rockets amnesty, has been successfully bid by the Suns.
Although the Celtics have left Ray Allen, they are still not reinforcing. They reached an agreement with free agent Jeff Green. The contract is about 4 years and 3600 million. In addition, the Boston Celtics have signed with forward Rob Kurz.

After that, there are still more other teams, but everyone knows that no matter how strong the remaining players are, they will not be able to compete with the Lakers, Spurs, Hornets, Thunder, Heat, Bulls, and Celtics!
