NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 397
The first-round players behind LaVine basically don't have any big names, but there are still a few good players, such as Nurkic with the 16th pick, and Gary Harris with the 19th pick, but their ability is at best a championship puzzle, and they cannot be used as core training at all.

When the No.30 pick was the Pelicans' pick, Nikola Jokic was decisively chosen!It can be said that the two best players in this draft are Embiid and Jokic!
Nikola Jokic is a typical representative of the new generation of insiders. On the offensive end, he has excellent low-post offensive ability and long-range shooting. He can also play the offensive axis. He can be cultivated as the core of a team. However, he also has his own shortcomings, that is, his defense is average, especially when defending pick-and-rolls. However, this is not a problem for the Pelicans, because the Pelicans have too many players who can wipe his ass!

But now Jokic still has an appointment with a European club. He will not be able to land in the NBA until the 15-16 season, but the problem is not big. The Pelicans center has Gobert, and Davis is completely enough!
After the draft, the trading of each team began!

The Mavericks reached a deal with the Knicks. The Knicks sent Calderon, Dalembert, Larkin, Ellington, 34th and 51st picks, while the Mavericks got Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton.

The trade of these two teams did not cause any waves. Everyone knows that neither the Mavericks nor the Knicks can make a difference in the playoffs.

The Magic and the Nuggets reached a deal. The Magic got Evan Fournier, the No. 56 pick, and a special case of the transaction, while the Nuggets got Aaron Afflalo. Then the Nuggets reached a deal with the Bulls.Since the Nuggets failed to enter the playoffs last time, they have been trying to find a way to return to the playoffs. However, this is almost impossible. Even in his previous life, he only re-entered the playoffs in the 16-19 season.

However, the Nuggets won Nurkic and it was not for nothing. Nurkic’s development in his previous life was much better than McDermott’s.

In the previous life, Nurkic failed in the competition with Jokic and was sent to the Trail Blazers. Now that Jokic is gone, maybe the prospects will be even better.

The Rockets and the Timberwolves also reached a deal. The Rockets got Alessandro Gentil, and the Timberwolves got cash.The Rockets have undoubtedly failed this season. Obviously, they want to take advantage of Warcraft's presence to continue to strengthen and achieve better results next season.

The Lakers and the Wizards reached a deal. The Lakers got this year's rookie Jordan Clarkson, and the Wizards got cash. In fact, Jordan Clarkson's level is still good. It's okay to be the sixth man of a weak team. The best season in the previous life can also hand over 17 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists!In fact, the low-ranking picks that the Lakers saw were all okay, but the Lakers' management just didn't like it. In the previous life, Clarkson was traded, Nance Jr. was traded, and Randall didn't stay... It was also a variety of magical operations.

The Heat and the Hornets also reached a deal. The Heat got Shabazz Napier, and the Wizards got the 26th overall pick in the first round + the 55th overall pick in the second round + 1 future draft pick.

How high-spirited the Heat were when they formed the Big Three, but the failure of the finals for several years made them a little disheartened, and after losing the finals, James' whereabouts were confusing.

The Nets and the Timberwolves made a deal. The Nets got the 44th pick in the second round (Markelle Brown), and the Timberwolves got part of the cash. Then the Nets reached a deal with the Bucks. The Nets got: 2015 and 2019 second-round picks, and the Bucks got: Coach Kidd

This season's Nets can be said to have lost a complete defeat, and the boss is even more disheartened. Everything he does now is just to stop the loss!
The Jazz and the Grizzlies reached a deal. The Grizzlies got the 35th pick in the second round (Takes), while the Jazz got the 2015 second-round pick.

The 76ers and the Spurs reached a deal, the 76ers got: the 58th pick in the second round (Jordan McRae), the Spurs got: the 54th pick in the second round (Nemania Dangubic)

The Raptors and the Eagles reached a deal, the Eagles get: John Salmons, the Raptors get: Lou Williams and Brazilian rookie Lucas Nogueira.

After the opening of the free market on July 7, despite the pressure of the Pelicans, the free market is still very active. Various teams have announced signing news one after another. The Cavaliers and the head star Kelly Irving signed a contract extension of about 1 years and 5 million US dollars.

The Magic officially announced that they have waived Jamal Nelson.Prior to this, the Magic also waived second-year guard Doron Lamb and reached an agreement with Ben Gordon. The two sides will sign a two-year contract worth $2 million.

The Magic reached an agreement with Channing Frye, a completely free agent, and the two sides will sign a 4-year contract with a total value of 3200 million US dollars

The Pacers have reached an agreement with completely free agent CJ-Myers, and the two parties will sign a four-year contract with a total value of 4 million US dollars.

The Spurs and defender Patty Mills reached an agreement on contract renewal. The two parties will sign a new three-year contract. The Spurs' Western Conference finals hero Boris Diaw agreed to a three-year $3 million new contract provided by the team. The Frenchman will continue to play in San Antonio in the new season.

Although the Spurs did not win the championship this season, in this era with teams like the Pelicans, entering the Western Conference Finals is already the greatest success.

Free agent "Small Steel Cannon" Kyle Lowry did not renew his contract with the Kings, but reached a contract extension agreement with the Raptors. The new contract lasts for 4 years and the total salary reaches 4800 million US dollars

The Thunder reached an agreement with Sebastian Telfair, a completely free agent. Telfair will sign a one-year contract with the Thunder with a veteran's basic salary contract. It is obviously unacceptable for the Thunder not to enter the Western Conference Finals this season.

The Kings have reached an agreement with guard Darren Collison.Collison left the Clippers and will sign a three-year, fully guaranteed contract worth $3 million with the Kings. This operation directly blinded Presti's eyes. Instead of keeping Lowry, he signed Collison. The key is that Presti persuaded his cheap father-in-law, but he still did it.

Then the king reached a deal with the sun, the king got: $720 million transaction exception, the sun got: Isaiah Thomas

The Eagles have reached an agreement with completely free agent Thabo Sefolosha, and the two parties will sign a three-year contract with a total value of 3 million.

NBA free agent Chris Kaman joined the Portland Trail Blazers with a salary of $2 million over two years.

Former Lakers point guard Jordan Farmar reached an agreement with the Clippers. The Clippers used a two-year exception to recruit Farmar, with a total contract value of approximately $420 million

The Clippers reached the semifinals this season, giving them hope of entering the Western Conference Finals, and most importantly, the Lakers in their same city have begun to decline, so they must take this opportunity to earn their reputation!
The Mavericks have reached an agreement with point guard Devin Harris on a three-year contract extension.According to ESPN's tipster, the total value of Harris' new contract will exceed $3 million.

The Heat reached an agreement with Josh McRoberts, a completely free agent. The big former will sign a four-year contract worth $4 million with the Heat. Although James' whereabouts are unknown, the Heat are still doing everything they can to keep James.

The Bucks today officially signed a rookie contract with Jabari Parker, the No. 4 pick in the new division. The contract lasts for 2230 years, with a total value of 1010 million US dollars, of which the first two years are fully guaranteed, with a total salary of [-] million US dollars.

Then on July 7, the Cavaliers, the Nets, and the Celtics reached a deal. The Cavaliers got: 10 future second-round pick, a special case of the transaction, the Nets got: Jack, Karashoff, and the Celtics got: Thornton, Zeller, and a future first-round pick.

Free agent Steve Blake reached an agreement with the Trail Blazers for a two-year contract worth $2 million. Although the Trail Blazers entered the playoffs this season, it is difficult to accept the first round. Therefore, the Trail Blazers are also strengthening this season.

The Suns and small forward PJ-Tucker reached a contract extension. The new contract will last for 3 years, with a total salary of 1650 million US dollars, fully guaranteed.

The Grizzlies have reached an agreement with Benno Udrih to extend his contract.It is reported that the Grizzlies will use the biennial exception to sign Udri for 2 years.

Jordan Hill's agent informed that his client has reached an agreement with the Lakers, and the two sides will sign a 2-year contract with a total value of 1800 million US dollars.

Of course, these transactions are difficult to arouse people's interest. This summer, people are most concerned about the whereabouts of James. People want to know where James will go after consecutive failures in the finals?
Finally this day has come. On July 7, James announced the heavy news of returning to the Cavaliers, and the fans were immediately blown away!

Of course, the Cavaliers fans celebrated wildly and kept showing off on the Internet, while the fans of the Heat complained crazily. In fact, the popularity of James returning to the Cavaliers is far less than that of his previous life, because James had nothing in the Heat, and he didn't want to hold two championships like in his previous life!

After the Cavaliers got James, they started to make crazy deals and keep strengthening!

All-free agent Mike Miller has reached an agreement with the Cavaliers. The two sides will sign a two-year contract worth $2 million.

Completely free agent James Jones reached an agreement with the Cavaliers, and the two sides will sign a one-year veteran contract worth approximately $1 million.

Cavaliers get: John Lucas, Eric Murphy and Malcolm Thomas; Jazz get: Carrick Felix, 2015 second-round pick, $100 million.
The Cavaliers signed Kierke to a multi-year deal.

The Cavaliers reached a deal with the Celtics, the Cavaliers got Bogans, the Celtics got Murphy, Lucas, Thomas, Powell, two second-round picks in 2016 and 2017, and then the Cavaliers used Bogans, a future second-round pick and the 76ers traded to get a $530 million transaction exception, a second-round pick.

Then there was another blockbuster deal for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers, the Timberwolves, and the 76ers reached a deal. The Cavaliers got Love, and the Timberwolves got Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett, Thaddeus Young.

At this point, the construction of the Knights is completed, and the Big Three are officially established!

People have been discussing where the Cavaliers' Big Three can go. Some people say the Eastern Conference Finals, some people say the Finals, but without exception, they all think that the Cavaliers can't overcome the mountain of the Pelicans. The reason is simple. Can Love and Irving compare to Bosh and Wade?

In an interview, Presti talked about the Big Three of the Cavaliers and said with a smile: "The talents of James, Irving, and Love are beyond doubt. I am very happy that they come to challenge us in the finals!"

Then another signing made people's topic full again. Just after James chose to return to the Cavaliers, after the fans of the Heat were angry, Bosh and the Heat reached a five-year contract extension with a maximum salary of 1.18 million US dollars!

If the fans of the Heat knew that Bosh was found to have a blood clot soon, and his career was reimbursed, he didn't know how he would feel.

The tyrants from all sides are frantically reinforcing, and Presti is also observing. Although there are many people who want to hug their legs, he still has to select the best.
