During the offseason, players are wandering around and team managers are very busy.

After the team won two consecutive championships, Bulls general manager Krause was very dissatisfied with Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan's desire to interfere in management affairs, and wanted to solve the aging problem of the team. He made a beautiful suggestion: use Scottie Pippen trades Tracy McGrady.

Then he was denied by Jordan, who wanted to maintain the status quo of the team. Jordan would not hesitate to make a fuss with the management over this. If Pippen and Phil Jackson left, he would retire immediately.

Only by threatening retirement can the management be restrained.

The Bulls' biggest problem is their aging. If Jordan is here, the team will remain competitive, but the players are one year older and injuries are frequent, which is difficult to deal with. What next season will be like, no one knows.

Jordan has semi-publicly announced that he will retire for the second time after next season.

The 1997-98 season will be Jordan's last season. Voices have long been heard, and all fans are willing to watch Jordan's retirement season.

The Bulls have kept their lineup stable while other teams continue to make adjustments.

The team that has changed the most has even changed its name. Next season, the Washington Bullets will be renamed the Washington Wizards.

The Philadelphia 76ers are preparing to trade Jerry Stackhouse and truly make the team Iverson's team. The No. 1996 pick in has already paid off. Even if he failed to win the Rookie of the Year, his strength is unquestionable. .

Stackhouse may go to the Pistons to partner with "Jordan's successor" Grant Hill, but the trade negotiations are quite obscure and it is not yet done so soon.

The Timberwolves are even more outrageous. They started negotiations before Kevin Garnett's rookie contract ended. Then he was inexplicably presented with a six-year, 6 million-dollar contract.

Countless players who have produced statistics are confused. How the hell can this be done like this? Garnett had only played for a few years, and he immediately received a sky-high salary, which made people jealous. Marbury, who was on the same team, was completely confused. He also knew that he could not get better treatment in the Timberwolves, and the thoughts of leaving began to grow.

Garnett received a super-large contract under the operation of agent Fleischer, and is also considered to be one of the triggers of the 1998 closure incident. The bosses feel violated by the players, and the players' salaries account for more than 51% of the team, so they need to restart labor negotiations.

At the same time, Garnett's annual salary of up to 2100 million has squeezed too much salary space for the Timberwolves. The current total salary of NBA teams is almost 3000 million US dollars. Garnett alone accounts for two-thirds. How much salary space is left for reinforcement?

If you choose a high annual salary and squeeze enough salary space from the team, don't complain about the team's performance or the lack of reinforcements.

Of course, Jordan's annual salary is US$3000 million...equivalent to the entire salary of the team. He is a special player and the biggest signature player in the NBA. Pippen, the second oldest, had a pitiful annual salary of US$278 million. When he won the championship with Jordan for the first time, he ignored Jordan's advice and signed a seven-year, US$7 million contract to bind himself.

Dan Fagan saw Fleischer making a lot of money in the same company, and his mind moved quickly. Carter's contract has not expired yet, so it is difficult to deal with it. Next season, Joe Smith's contract will be in the contract year, which can be operated.

"Take your time with player contracts, I have to suppress my thoughts." Fagan reminded himself, "The most important thing is to help Vince find a suitable car endorsement."

In Seattle, also in the northwest of the United States in the Western Conference, the SuperSonics also had internal strife.

"Rain Man" Kemp is unhappy... very unhappy.

The team actually gave Jim McElweney, who had only played for two years and averaged 2.1 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game, a five-year, $5 million contract. It's not that the Sonics don't have money, but they appear to be too rich.

1886年续约的主力阵容，薪金都不低，加里-佩顿是7年8750万美元的大合同，平均年薪1250万；给萨姆-帕金斯2年600万美元合同；给赫西-霍金斯5年1800万美元的合同，平均一年360万。

What contract was given to Kemp? It was 9 million in the previous nine years, with an average of 4420 million per season in the first eight years and 8 million in the last year. As everyone knows, when the SuperSonics reached the Finals in 370, Kemp averaged 1460 points, 1996 rebounds, 23.3 blocks, and 10 steals per game, and played six fierce games with the Bulls, which was quite exciting.

After renewing the previous contract, the Sonics simply did not have the salary space to renew Kemp.

He has already said that he will not return to the SuperSonics at the beginning of the new season.

"They used my money to renew someone else's contract. I still have so many children to raise." Kemp was unhappy and short of money. The media estimates that Kemp may have more than 10 illegitimate children, which would cost a lot of money a month to pay for them.

Then he sold his villa in Seattle and pretended to leave the Sonics. On the one hand, the SuperSonics stated that they would retain Rainman Kemp, and on the other hand, they were quietly looking for trading partners.

They need an insider of the same level, but this is difficult. Kemp's physical fitness and explosive style of play are not comparable to ordinary people.

The Nets were very excited and started to establish a relationship with the Sonics, but unfortunately they couldn't come up with any decent chips. Even if they want a three-way trade, the Nets can't come up with decent chips. When people start talking about Vince Carter, John Nash directly scolds him.

Rasheed Wallace also has trade value, but the Sonics don't like it. They hope to trade for an All-Star player. This is the bottom line that the Sonics can accept. Finding a cheap and easy-to-use player is their goal.

Things are not that simple. Kemp's transfer will become a soap opera that will drag on until the beginning of the season and still torture several teams, and the lineup has never been able to be structured. In parallel time and space, Kemp went to the Cleveland Cavaliers next season and led the Cavaliers to the playoffs. He performed well, averaging 18 points and 9.3 rebounds per game.

Carter is still training, and he is opposed to the team trading Rasheed for Shawn Kemp. Compared to Kemp, Rasheed is more suitable for the current Nets. Rasheed can open up space for Carter, and he also has a beautiful mid-range shot. Kemp has a strong style of play and cannot shoot from mid-to-long distances. Carter and Kemp partnered and thought they could not achieve a better record.

After Rasheed Wallace went on vacation, he also practiced shooting, especially straight-arm shooting and shooting after pick-and-rolls. He practiced more than 500 shots every day. His body muscles became stronger and stronger. He wanted to carry Mourning and Muto. Mbo fought.

"Vince, I will become stronger next season. Hehe, I am more confident in shooting mid-range and long-range shots now." Rashid called Carter, mainly to show off his progress and can't wait for the start of the new season. "What about this guy Ben Wallace? Can you let me rest a few more minutes next season?"

"Don't worry, you will like this guy." Carter was very confident.

He has confidence in Rashid. The Roaring God just likes to roar. He is usually a kind person and even attends concerts! Carter also has confidence in Big Ben. Even though his strength is not good now, his attitude is absolutely awesome.

In parallel time and space, the two Wallaces have a tacit understanding like two sides of a coin. The same is true in this time and space. After the two meet, they will attract each other, discharge each other, and explode with each other.

Kendall Gill was the first to join Carter in Las Vegas, "I can't wait. Vince, I plan to polish my defensive skills. This month, I will prevent you from crying."

Whether you are going out for fun or resting at home, it is better to go to Las Vegas to combine work and rest. After training, you can try your luck at Caesars Palace and you will be more energetic.
