Legend of Tomorrow

Yao Ming became the first foreign No. 1 pick in NBA history, but it did not attract much attention. News in China and abroad only mentioned it casually.

You may not believe it when you say it, but it is a fact, because this is during the 2002 World Cup, no one can steal the spotlight from the Koreans, and the whole world is discussing how shameless they can be.

When two British football hooligans Jason Statham and his buddy Vinnie Jones had dinner with Guo Xu, they did nothing but talk about football and scold South Korea.

Before turning into an actor in 1999, Vinnie Jones was a talented football player. He once pinched Gascoigne's penis and set a record for the fastest yellow card in the first 3 seconds of a professional football game. After watching this World Cup, he said that he can still break records. As long as he plays, he can kill Ahn Jung-hwan in one second...

Guo Xu made a long-distance call to congratulate Yao Ming, and then continued to enjoy his vacation.

He will not go to China this year, and Nike has no China trip arrangements. Everyone knows that this is not a good time for publicity.

Staying in Los Angeles, Guo Xu eats, drinks and has fun every day, waiting for news about his agent Happy's negotiations with other teams.

He really hadn't thought about where to start this time. Thinking too much about this issue in advance would only give him a headache.

Because the NBA doesn't mean he can go to whichever team he wants. First, it depends on whether the team wants him. Second, it depends on the contract size and sincerity. Finally, it depends on whether the team has a future and whether it is suitable for him.

Guo Xu told the media that he would not join a Western Conference team, not only as a promise to his friends, but also because none of the promising teams in the Western Conference had salary space, and it was impossible to poach him with a high salary.

There is no need to consider teams such as the Trail Blazers, Timberwolves, Kings, Mavericks, Jazz, Suns, Grizzlies, etc. The total salary is higher than that of the Lakers. If you want to strengthen, you can only trade, and you cannot sign big names in the free market.

The Jazz management likes Guo Xu very much, and head coach Jerry Sloan has said more than once that Guo Xu is best suited to play pick-and-roll, but they have no space and their total salary is 52 million.

The salaries of two veterans, Malone and Stockton, have reached 27 million. The league's famous anti-Australia machine, Oster terminator, Big White Bear Ostertag, averaged 3 points and 4 points per game. The rebounder has an annual salary of 8 million.

The Suns are relatively promising in the future, but now their total salary exceeds 55 million, and there are three players with annual salaries of tens of millions, namely Penny Hardaway, Gugliotta, and Marbury.

The Suns created two glass men who earned one-third of the team's salary on the sidelines.

A magical model in which a lone wolf leads a group of low- and basic-salary role players to win through hard work.

The Grizzlies look very promising on the surface. If you check the information, you will find that their total salary is 61 million, which is higher than the Lakers.

They have a lot of middle-class players with an annual salary of about 5 million. White and Knight acquired from the Hawks are both priced at the same price. White Chocolate Jason Williams is 5.5 million, and Glass Man Michael Dickson is 5.5 million.

The Grizzlies' highest-paid player is Bryant Levis. This name is not made up, it is a combination of Kobe and Keanu. As a reborn person, Guo Xu doesn't even know what this guy does, but his annual salary is 13 million.

He is a center who retired in 2001. In 1998, when the Grizzlies were in trouble, he scored 16.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists. Then he signed a big contract with a higher salary than Kobe. No one knows why. .

A team with sufficient salary space is the SuperSonics. Last season's total salary was 45 million. With a few adjustments, it can be below the salary cap. However, the SuperSonics' star player is point guard Gary Payton, and it is impossible to recruit another star point guard. . Moreover, Guo Xu is not interested in joining. The Sonics have no future until Wen Baker is dealt with.

Originally, the SuperSonics could send Vin Baker away in the summer, but the management was so annoyed with this alcoholic that they traded him with the Celtics and exchanged him for point guard Kenny Anderson, who was in a sharp decline in form. He couldn't tolerate the overlapping position with Payton. Well, at least this person is not drunk and can hold his neck straight when talking to others.

However, now that Kenny Anderson has been sent to the Pacers by the Green Army, the Pacers have O'Neal Jr. on the inside, and they can't stand a declining player like Wen Baker, so they can only lose their hands.

Among the strong teams in the playoffs, the Spurs have the best salary control, only 45.86 million. The point guard is not strong. Parker and Daniels share playing time. If the Spurs management is cruel to send away a few people, it is Someone who can offer Guo Xu a high salary.

But Guo Xu can't go if he doesn't want to. If he goes, he will be touched bald by Duncan...

The Spurs are undoubtedly a favorite team to win the championship. As long as Guo Xu joins, he may even win consecutive championships. He will break the fate of the Spurs in his previous life and establish a long-lasting dynasty. But Duncan really can't stand this bear problem. Is it something a normal person should do if he likes to touch people's heads?

If Guo Xu were a referee, even if Duncan didn't laugh when he saw this kind of thing, he would call a technical foul!

The Clippers have the lowest salary in the league this season, only $33.84 million. It is so low that one wonders whether they still want to play in the NBA? Relying on such a low-salary lineup, the Clippers defeated the Lakers last season, which shows how amazing their potential is.

However, the Clippers are about to break up. Their boss, Donald Sterling, is the stingiest boss. He only likes to hire new people and will not keep anyone who wants a high salary.

Some news commented that Sterling is the worst owner in the history of American sports, and his team is the most embarrassing team in NBA history. He is fully responsible for this. In the past 30 years, the Clippers have made the playoffs twice, and this is thanks to their presence in a big city.

Unless a reborn soul pierces Sterling, even if Guo Xu gets the maximum salary and becomes the boss of the Clippers, it will be difficult for the Clippers management to dig out good players as his partners. You know, the current manager of the Clippers is the famous Elgin Baylor.

Baylor is even more failed as a manager than he was as a player. It is no exaggeration to say that if he were not a blind and brainless manager, the Clippers would have been able to put together an All-Star team just by relying on the draft. And he selected a bunch of high-ranking parallel imports, and the most successful one turned out to be Odom.

This year, Baylor decisively selected Wilcox before Stoudemire. Both of them were insiders. Stoudemire's evaluation before the draft was higher, but Baylor can firmly believe in Wilcox. Even more powerful, how to break it?

As for the Clippers' exchange for Brand, it was not a deal initiated by Baylor. The Bulls worked hard to send the useless Brand to the Clippers. After the management meeting and the insistence of others, Baylor reluctantly sent away the blue-collar spring man Chandler. Fans didn't know how many times he woke up crying afterwards.

The Clippers are a cursed team, especially Guo Xu, who wears jersey No. 58 and cannot join at any time, otherwise he will not be able to enter the Western Conference Finals in the future.

The Warriors and Nuggets at the bottom have a bunch of bad contracts, their cities are average, and Guo Xu doesn't like them.

There is only one team in the Western Conference that Guo Xu is very interested in, and that is the Houston Rockets.

Houston is the largest city in Texas, the fourth largest city in the United States, and the largest economic center on the Gulf Coast. Except for the poor reputation of owner Alexander, it is very suitable for the long-term development of players.

Unfortunately, the Rockets already have Steve Francis, a super-qualified point guard. Manager Dawson is unlikely to give away Francis, who has good statistics, in the summer to poach Guo Xu with a high salary.

Therefore, Guo Xu has long been sure that he can only go to the east. It will not be easy for him to choose a new club in the summer.
