hall of fame small forward

Chapter 271
All four of the Rockets traded were on vacation. Calderon and Gasol Jr. returned to Spain as a team, Randolph went to Las Vegas, and David Lee brought his own team. The girlfriend of the supermodel went to Hawaii to enjoy the sea and the beach. Now they don’t pay much attention to the NBA news. They didn’t even know that they were traded. They only found out after a call from their agent. They won’t have to play in Houston next season. Instead, I can pack my bags and go wandering in miserable and desolate New Orleans.

Among them, Randolph's situation may be even worse. Since the contract of the Grizzlies expires this year, they are now free agents. Morey did not tell Randolph that he will be traded. If the team renews his contract, his strategy of signing first and then changing will also be declared bankrupt.

So Morey signed a four-year 4 million contract with the Grizzlies without saying a word, and the average of 6200 million a year almost didn't make Randolph happy, and then the contract amount was given to such Big, purely to match Paul and Tyson Chandler's salary, turned around and sent the rotten tofu full of joy to New Orleans, Randolph really spit out a mouthful of old blood.

ESPN gave the Rockets an A-level rating for this deal. The value of a superstar player cannot be measured by ordinary players, but New Orleans generally does not suffer. Forwards, potential rookie centers and veteran point guards were all packaged together, and the picks in the first three rounds of this year are even more helpful for the Hornets. If they have a good vision, they can rely on this to pick another cheap one. When the superstar came back, you must know that they selected Chris Paul with the fourth overall pick, and the Totoro in front was also a rookie with the seventh overall pick.

Of course, the Hornets’ trading motives are incomprehensible to others. Generally speaking, the teams that can trade are nothing more than two goals, either to strengthen themselves to hit the championship, or to accumulate draft picks while absorbing junk contracts. It is used to free up salary space and accumulate potential rookies, and wait until a certain year to sign a few All-Stars to make a big move, but this deal for the New Orleans is different. Rotten tofu David Lee West Calderon's Hornets may still be able to enter the playoffs, but they seem to be too weak to hit the championship, because they released the face of their team, the head star Paul .

Many people may not have imagined that it is not these players or draft picks that can impress Sinn in this transaction, but the 300 million US dollars as an extra that seems to make up for the transaction amount of both parties. The final weight of such a transaction!
"I don't know, I don't know anything, I'm on vacation, I just got the news, I'm very depressed now, I don't know why I was traded, my effectiveness in the Rockets is obvious to all."

After receiving the news, David Lee immediately rushed back from Hawaii with his beautiful model, but faced with a group of reporters who came after hearing the news, David Lee seemed very depressed.

As a player, he still wants to continue to fight for the championship in the contract year with the Rockets. At that time, with several championships in hand, he can choose to continue to sign with the Rockets, or he can join other teams at a high price. At that time, he will have the opportunity to negotiate salary. Capital.

But now all my good plans have been completely messed up by Morey's abacus before they can be implemented. Do you think David Lee can't be angry?

"As a veteran in the league, I'm used to trading. After all, this is a business league. I understand that everyone comes together to play for the same goal. When you accomplish the goal, there is no emotion at all. "

Randolph is more helpless to see through the facts. In fact, Rotten Tofu has not played for a long time, but he does not know how many teams he has moved to. The Grizzlies seem to be like a vagrant. Change a few more teams, maybe he has a chance to break the team changing record of a player in NBA history.

"I don't know, I'm just a player who just passed his rookie year, and I can only follow the team's arrangements."

However, compared to Sang Xin of the above two products, Gasol and Calderon are obviously very open. As a capable rookie, Gasol certainly thinks of a team that can focus on training himself. Playing, especially after winning the championship in the first year, this idea is even stronger.

The Rockets have nothing to play, the main center will always be Yao Ming, and the core of the team will always be Totoro. He may be able to relax in the Rockets, but he will never become a talent. The aspiring Gasol does not want this.

And Calderon is purely playing for a long time. After his championship heart disease, the Spanish veteran really has no desires and desires, holding the idea that he can play for a few years, and play for a few years It is king to earn a few million dollars in health basketball.

The Rockets' four trade team members all returned to Houston after getting the news. They couldn't control the trade, but the trade could control them. They had to deal with their real estate in Houston and other things, and then they went to New Orleans, a small place to give Find a place for yourself.

"The Rockets, I'm really looking forward to it, although I think the Hornets are really good, whether it's from the management, teammates or fans, but I think the basketball atmosphere in Houston is also good, especially when they are still defending champions, and Two top-20 stars in the league, and I'm not against being part of their team."

On the other hand, the two people on the Hornets side didn't have any disgusting emotions. After hearing the news, Chandler was as happy as a 260 kg child. He finally had the opportunity to touch the championship trophy!
"Before the trade news came, cat and Yao called me."

As one of the biggest names in this transaction, Chris Paul's thoughts were exposed by more interviews with reporters.

"This surprised me, because they are the championship, and we are about to join the past, logically speaking, we should take the initiative to contact them."

"But these two Chinese people are so hospitable. They made me and Tyson feel respected. I have never been to Houston, and I have never worked with any Rockets player before, but I think this It won't be difficult, and Tyson and I will fit into the Rockets system."

"In the end their ambitions really matched me. My friends know me. I'm a very competitive player. I hate losing. I can't tolerate losing. The Rockets are a proven team. team, but they didn't let up, Totoro told me on the phone that they need my strength to hit the championship again, I am really honored to be a member of their team, I can't wait to play with them gone."

Queen Bee said very happily that maybe he will soon get rid of this title. From the core of a team to the second or even third leader of other teams, it was originally an unbearable thing for superstar players.

But Paul may be a little different. He is at the peak now, but the Hornets have made him see no hope of any championship. After the hurricane, New Orleans is declining day by day. What I want most is to escape the wasp's wrecked ship that is about to sink, and just take a good ship first.

After the dust settled on this deal, the nba league is desperate, and other teams are also desperate, because the season seems to have ended before it even started. The salary space can't work, and the bad team has gathered a lot of junk contracts waiting for the big fish in the free market in 2010. Now they can't do anything, they can only sit and watch the Rockets themselves dominate.

But Totoro made such a fuss, the nba in the parallel world he knew has been completely disrupted, maybe after 2010 James will not go to the Heat and Wade Bosh and they will form the Big Three, maybe the Thunder will not be born, maybe it is not hurt Whether the small Big Three of the Trail Blazers who are healthy can rise again, or Kobe will never have a championship in his life, all this has become uncertain.

Maybe they saw the Rockets making moves, and other teams that seemed unable to work also forcibly strengthened. They let the market in 2010 ignore it, and insisted on playing a big game with the Rockets this year. Among them is the Lakers. , Spurs, and the Magic just defeated by the Rockets.

The general manager of the Lakers Kupchak skillfully signed the former bearded guard Baron Davis, who led the Warriors' Black Eight miracle and just expired this year. This guard has strong offensive power and accurate shooting. Strong physical fitness and excellent defensive confrontation, 30 years old this year is not too old for a point guard.

This year the Warriors already have an equally powerful guard Monta Ellis, and they are also preparing to select one of Curry and Harden in the draft to strengthen their point guard three-point firepower again, so that they Baron Davis will not be given too much of a contract. The All-Star guard was snatched back by the Lakers in a half-robbed way.

Because the Spurs persuaded Bowen and Horry to retire, they vacated part of their salary space in the free market to sign Jamison, the power forward who tested the water among the original Wizards Three Musketeers, and used Marcus Williams and McDyess In exchange for Richard Jefferson from the Nets, Jamison will partner with Duncan as the insider of the team in the new season. Everyone knows Popovich's ability. I have long believed that old players who have passed their peak age can shine in the hands of Popovich. The name of the Spurs Nursing Home is completely confirmed. Their set of Duncan + Jamison + Richard Jefferson + Rodgers Mason + Tony Parker looks old and young, without any competitiveness, but they have a head coach Popovich who is the best at maintaining players and developing talents in the world, and that is enough.

The Magic did not trade Kottgrew this year, but traded Gortat + Pietrus + this year's first-round pick from the Nets in exchange for Vince Carter, who is still at his peak. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Nets assembled Kidd Carter and Richardson to form a three-carriage plan to hit the championship, and they declared bankruptcy. What they have to do now is to get rid of all the salary burdens in the team and plan for the future. For example, in 2010, the pilgrimage meeting for lobbying the little emperor.
There are still some small troubles, small seams and small repairs. Generally speaking, the form of several teams this year is already very clear. Those who are interested in continuing to fight for the championship and want to completely rebuild with an eye to the future. The Warring States Period at the beginning suddenly became very different. It was a group of people who wanted to win the championship, and it was a group of people who wanted to win the lottery championship.

The time soon came to June of 09. On the 6th of this month, this year's general election will be held in the theater of the NBA. To join in the fun, Totoro flew from Houston to New York, and opened a training camp here. Most rookies show themselves here every day, hoping to gain the attention of scouts at the last moment and make their draft picks a little higher.

Today's training camp is still in full swing, and Totoro has also walked into the training camp. Originally, this training camp is reserved for idlers, unless rookies participating in the draft, scouts or journalists can enter. All other ordinary people were turned away.

But seeing that Totoro came in person, how dare the security guards at these gates stop?More than half of them are still Totoro's basketball fans, and they readily let them go after asking for autographs.

"Hey, Stephen, here, here, I have a chance here!"

"Look at Blake, don't let him run, or we can't stop their dunk!"

"Oh, this guy is going to touch porcelain, damn it, the beard in front of him is too piercing, isn't it a foul to have such a long beard?"

A group of rookies are playing a training game, and the team wearing red is Thabeet + Griffin + Evans + Harden + Flynn. Among them are Thabeet, Griffin, Evans and Harden has the strength to become the No. 10 pick, while the other side wears the lottery consisting of Jordan Hill + Terrence Williams + DeMar DeRozan + Stephen Curry + Brandon Jennings Group, they are generally expected to have top [-] abilities, but it is still a bit difficult to hit the top three.

The two sides fought extremely fiercely. Although the red shirts were stronger, they mostly played alone and rarely cooperated, while the blue shirts had a lot of cooperation. The two sides played very fiercely and were inseparable. So much so that he didn't notice that there was an extra person standing on the side of the court for a while.

Curry once missed a three-pointer. Although the Redshirts had an obvious advantage inside, Jordan Hill, who loves to fight and fight hard, made a leap. In the hands of Totoro.
