Starting with 2006

Chapter 462 Where did Artesto go?
Rod Higgins, as the general manager of the young rookie Bobcats, now feels a lot of pressure, because now every offseason in the league, some teams will undergo changes. Their opponents are strengthening and aiming to compete for the championship. And the original weak team wants to change their own destiny through the draft, and only the offseason is a wonderful flower.

The Bobcats hardly made any moves during the offseason. They just watched Danny Angie and Kupchak continue to make moves in the free market. Even the Spurs, who have always been stable, are eager to try in the free market. It is necessary to use the draft to change the trend of the Spurs' core aging.

The Celtics, who failed in the finals last season, have one and only one goal this season. Their Big Three have been formed for two years, but it is a pity that they have not won the championship in the past two years. It is always a little bit short, but this is what caused them to be far behind the championship, and the purpose of Danny Ainge's continuous rumors during the offseason is very obvious. Start the new season and win the championship!
If the three All-Star players have not won a championship for three years together, then it means that there must be something wrong with their team, and this problem is also very big. It is so big that he needs to reconsider whether to dismantle the three. combinations.

So this year Angie is also very busy, their draft pick is very low, there is no trade value, and this year is not a big draft year, so Angie has no plan to check for leaks, all he wants is to see if he can seduce a An all-star player is added to the Celtics lineup, and they need this player!
Although Angie's wish is very good, in fact it is difficult for them to achieve this goal, because this offseason can be called the insiders of the big fish are Jr. O'Neal and Brand, although their insiders include Garnett and Parsons, but if there is an all-star insider, their strength will be greatly increased, and Garnett will play more easily.

But it is a pity that both Brand and O'Neal rejected Angie's invitation. The big contract they wanted, the Green Army simply did not have this salary space for them, so O'Neal chose to go to the Raptors. Weiss teamed up with the Nuggets' best defensive player Marcus Camby in the Clippers, so although Angie stirred up the situation in the free market, he has actually not gained much.

Coincidentally, after these players ended the mystery of their whereabouts, almost all teams that aspired to the championship unanimously set their sights on that seemingly insignificant role player, who is also the most famous thorn in the league. , Ron Artesto's body.

Although Artesto's violent temper and uncontrollable speech made him the most hated player of all teams in the league, there is no doubt that Artesto's ability is there, his defensive ability and good scoring ability It is enough to make him a jigsaw puzzle for an excellent championship team, so don't say that Angie is eyeing Artest, who has not heard from him for a long time. Similarly, their old opponent, Lakers general manager Kupchak is also eyeing Artesto.

I even heard that the Rockets have been trying to get in touch with Artesto, but until now no one can contact the bastard Artesto, he seems to have disappeared from this world, but everyone It is very clear that Artest has not disappeared, he just hid somewhere like a proud child after becoming a hot figure, he is watching this farce happily!
Of course he is happy, but many people are also very anxious. Anyone with a discerning eye can see how terrible the upcoming season will be. At that time, the competition in the entire league will be extremely fierce, so many teams can't wait. Reinforcement, and only those teams that intend to rebuild will watch the competition of several powerful players.

Of course, they will not be idle. After all, determining a future rebuilding core player is what they should do now, just like the Bulls used the No. [-] pick to select Rose Derrick Rose, a talented point guard from the University of Memphis. It is almost a point guard with all the advantages that the Bulls management can think of. After the construction of the Bulls' system framework has been completed, although many people in the outside world are not optimistic about whether the point guard, who is a bit thin and thin, can gain a foothold in the NBA, but the Bulls management The top management firmly believes that this guy Rose will bring huge changes to the Bulls, the most brilliant team in the NBA!
They think that they will become the biggest contender for the Eastern Conference championship in the new season, but others don't think so. When the general manager of the Bulls stated their goals for next season in the media, there is no doubt that all they got was ridicule, ESPN even more It is merciless to say that the Bulls have only one goal in the new season, and that is to enter the playoffs.

Although other media reports are not as direct as ESPN, they are also not optimistic about the Bulls. At present, the Bulls do not have the strength to become the spoiler. Maybe they will bring some surprises to the world, but that’s all. That's all!
The Heat, which has the No. [-] high school student in the United States, Michael Beasley, is also considered to be a prelude to recovery. The combination of Wade and Beasley is full of reverie, and Pat Riley's follow-up The operation is full of expectations, maybe the Heat will rise again in the not-too-distant future!

The Eastern Conference also has the mighty Celtics. They are still the most powerful contenders for the Eastern Conference championship in the new season. Although the Big Three lost the Finals last season, their overall strength is not inferior to the Lakers, but their With a little bit of luck, their best player didn't have the same crunch-time relentlessness that Kobe Bryant did.

Maybe this is fate!

Similarly, many people are bullish on the Bobcats. Many people will think that they can become one of the best teams in the East under the leadership of the further mature Gao Tian and the talents. The torture of last season has put pressure on this newly formed team. It was too big, and they ended up hastily ending with the complete breakdown of their young players.

But until now everyone still thinks that the Bobcats are the most talented team in the league. They have the most talented youngsters in the league. Maybe in two years, maybe in a year, they will become the overlord of the league!
Of course, the only worry is that their team is still too young. You must know that the results of last season were only achieved by the sudden recovery of Hill and Webb, two old guys who are about to quit the league. Hill and Webber still have much strength from last season, but no matter what, the Bobcats are still one of the best teams in the East!
