NBA’s aging star system

Chapter 509: Offseason personnel changes! The new season begins! (page 12)

In terms of personal honors this season, Su Tian not only topped the scoring list, assists list, and steals list, but also won a first defense, and ranked first in the regular season mvp list in the high game. But in the end, can he win this season? The regular season MVP is still unknown.

On the NBA regular season mvp list this season, in addition to Su Tian, ​​the main contenders include Antetokounmpo, Jokic, and Embiid.

Except for Su Tian, ​​the other three are all big men, and Su Tian is the only small man.

In fact, Su Tian is still very confident in himself. Whether it is a comparison of hard power or team performance, Su Tian is higher than others, but he cannot stand up to the league causing trouble, and Su Tian has already expected this, so I didn’t even attend the awards show.

At the final awards night, the regular season MVP was also given to Nikola Jokic.

Jokic was very happy to get this MVP, but he also looked a little embarrassed when he took the stage.

However, Su Tian no longer paid attention to all this, but started his trip to China on time as scheduled.

Just as Su Tian was carrying out his trip to China normally, the Lakers' post-game work also started normally, and Pelinka also entered work mode in time.

The Lakers have a lot of work to do this season, and there are some players that the team cannot keep, such as Boucher, Brunson and others.

When the trade market opens, the only ones left on the team will be the three giants and some players on rookie contracts. Even the three giants may not be able to keep them.

Pelinka looked at the team's lineup and was in a daze. The teams that have come to ask for prices recently are not good. Many of the prices are very suitable, but Pelinka has to pick the most suitable one. Although it will lose some talents, But at least I can add some.

Su Tian was also carrying out his business activities step by step. George also took a boat to the sea again and started his own sea fishing. Nongmei returned home and played games, just like an Internet-addicted teenager.

The Big Three all have bright futures.

In fact, the Lakers' actions are relatively quiet, because the Lakers have only one theme, which is selling people, while other teams have more than just this goal in the offseason.

It is worth mentioning that Su Tian did not participate in the 2022 draft. Although Pelinka invited Su Tian as usual, Su Tian still did not participate. Mainly because there is no point in participating because Su Tianda didn't know any of these players and had no impression of them, so there was no chance of picking them up.

Su Tian could only place his hope on his badge "Juyi Hall".

Time came to July unknowingly, and the free trading market opened.

The first ones to be completed were some contract extensions, and these were basically negotiated.

Jokic reached a five-year, $5 million super-max contract extension with the Nuggets.

Devin Booker reached a four-year, $4 million supermax contract extension with the Suns.

Bill signed a five-year, $5 million max contract with the Wizards.

Oladipo re-signed with the Heat on a one-year, $1 million contract.

Batum renewed his contract with the Clippers on a two-year, $2 million contract.

Portis will sign a four-year, $4 million contract extension with the Bucks.

Jewon Carter signed a 2-year contract extension with the Bucks.

Matthews stays with the Bucks on a one-year contract.

Anfernee Simons signs a four-year, $4 million contract extension with the Trail Blazers.

Bamba signed a two-year, $2 million contract extension with the Magic.

And when contract renewals are flying everywhere, the Nets are the first to break out the first big news of the offseason. The Big Three are going to part ways!

This season, the Big Three of the Nets have been constantly affected by injuries, resulting in their failure to show their full form in the playoffs. The Big Three lost to the Celtics.

At this point, the Big Three of the Nets have completely declared failure, and the three of them have begun to look for another way out.

The first person to break the news was Durant. It is reported that he is currently in contact with the Suns and Heat respectively, but experts predict that he has a greater chance of going to the Suns.

Harden is also looking for a way out. Although Su Tian thought about recruiting Harden when he learned the news, Harden himself didn't think he was that down and still wanted to take on the responsibility of a team. offensive duties.

As for Irving, he is in contact with the Mavericks, and the two parties may reach an agreement.

Just when everyone was discussing the disintegration of the Nets' Big Three, some news broke out from the Lakers, to be precise, news about former Lakers players.

Jalen Brunson will join the Knicks for $4 million over four years.

Boucher signed with the Raptors for $3 million in three years.

Otto Porter reached an agreement with the Toronto Raptors on a two-year contract worth $2 million over two years, with a player option in the second year.

Bjelica announced that he would leave the NBA to play in the Turkish League.

Gary Payton II reached a three-year, $3 million contract with the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Pelicans signed Jose Alvarado to a three-year, $3 million contract.

The Lakers left the Lakers at the same time, and Pelinka was powerless to keep him.

Fortunately, Dort, Johnson, and Brando are still on rookie contracts and can stay for one year.

Griffin and Cousins ​​chose to stay in Los Angeles. Although their abilities have greatly degraded, they can only be used as ordinary substitutes.

After the Lakers players left one after another, there are currently only 8 players remaining in the Lakers team.

Dort, Su Tian, ​​George, Johnson, Big Eyebrow, Brando, Griffin, Cousins.

Pelinka was selective in the free market and signed Derrick Rose with a veteran's minimum salary to supplement the team's defense line.

In fact, Pelinka has also thought about whether to try to trade George to free up salary space and then sign these better young players.

However, after considering Su Tian's personal call to keep George last season, Pelinka still gave up his thoughts. You must know that Su Tian is still in his prime and has not yet reached the age of 30. It is the Lakers who are desperately trying to retain George. The team's cornerstone must be left behind, and Su Tian must not be dissatisfied with himself.

The young Su Tian has already won four consecutive championships. Who knows what crazy honors Su Tian will have in the end.

Even Pelinka knew that even if Jenny fired her, Su Tian would not be dissatisfied.

Just when Pelinka felt that it was difficult to continue his work, some veterans began to actively contact Pelinka, and most of them expressed their willingness to accept the veteran's basic salary and the role of substitute.

This includes some very well-known players, including Carmelo Anthony, Aldridge, Rajon Rondo, Lou Williams, etc.

This undoubtedly boosted Pelinka's spirit. Although these players are old, weak, sick and disabled, it at least allows Pelinka to carry out his work normally.

Time passed little by little, and Su Tian's trip to China was coming to an end, and he was preparing to return to Los Angeles.

Before leaving, Su Tian returned home and enjoyed a hard-earned one-week vacation. After the vacation, he took a plane to Los Angeles.
