Legend of Tomorrow

The Timberwolves, Raptors and Hawks made a three-way trade.

The Timberwolves received Marvin Williams, Austin Daye, Willie Green, and a second-round pick. The Raptors acquired Rudy Gay and John Jenkins. The Hawks received point guard Jose Calderon.

The Raptors sent Calderon because they selected promising rookie Damian Lillard this year. Kyle Lowry is probably leaving the team soon. Calderon is a heavy point guard who is 191cm tall and can serve as a shooting guard. Lowry and Lillard completely overlap.

Next, an even more terrifying big deal appeared, involving the Nets, Magic, Nuggets, and 76ers.

The Nets sent away All-Star big man David Lee, double-double big man Humphries, a 2017 first-round pick, a 2015 second-round pick, and acquired Warcraft Howard to form the Big Four.

Some media claim that the Nets' lineup is among the deepest in NBA history. Even if they win 78 times, the Suns have not managed to field four All-Stars.

The Nets are very happy. Last season, the Nets relied on the trident of Pierce, David Lee, and Deron Williams to reach the second round of the Eastern Conference. Now with the addition of Kobe and Howard, the depth of the lineup is completely overwhelming. Knicks.

Although David Lee is gone, four people with the ability to average 20+ points per game come together. What kind of terrifying offensive power is this? Can any team withstand the Nets' offense next season? And the Nets' defense should also be very strong. Howard and Kobe are both regulars on the best defensive team.

Kobe seems to be destined for the F4 lineup. He has to form F4 at least twice in his life. This is his luck and that of his teammates...

David Lee joined the Philadelphia 76ers, and his partnership with DeAndre Jordan, Thaddeus Young and others seems to be quite promising. The 76ers also acquired guard Benno Udrih from the Magic. The 76ers sent their core Andre Iguodala to the Nuggets.

The Magic received Carmelo Anthony, Nikola Vucevic, rookie swingman Maurice Harkless, McRoberts, and two protected first-round picks (76ers) in the trade. 2015, Nets 2016), a Nets second-round pick.

Anthony didn't want to stay in the Nuggets at all and fell out with the management. The Knicks' lineup last season was already complete. What they needed most was to strengthen the No. 1 position to challenge the Suns. They did not consider introducing Anthony.

The Nuggets management was not polite to Anthony. He has never led the team past the first round of the playoffs in recent years, and he is not considered a qualified core at all. If the team didn't have better team building options, they would have sent Anthony away long ago. Whether Anthony wants it or not,

The Nuggets threw him to the Magic, whose lineup looked bad at first glance.

The Nuggets have no requirements for record next season and can play whatever they want.

Anthony was furious but had no choice but to leave the Magic of World of Warcraft and become the bare-bones commander. He would consider joining a strong team after his contract expires, or wait for the management to trade for a capable partner.

In addition to Howard, the Nets will also receive Chris Duhon and Earl Clark from the Magic. Deron also has a point guard backup, and the Nets have become the biggest winner in the summer free market.

Seeing how strong the Nets lineup is, capable free agents have also cut their salaries to join the team, hoping to form a team to compete for the championship.

Veteran forward Antoine Jamison, who scored 16+6 with the Magic last season, joined with a minimum salary.

The Wizards signed 26-year-old big man Andre Blache with a minimum salary. His choice was surprising. In his peak season of 2010-11, he averaged 16.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

The addition of rebound maniac Reggie Evans further strengthened the Nets' inside line. They also signed undrafted NBA forward Mirza Telitovic to serve as Pierce's substitute.

The owner of the Nets doesn't care about the lineup, he just wants to recruit stars to build a wealthy team, and he has fulfilled his previous promise to the fans.

At the press conference to join, Kobe showed off his No. 24 jersey and expressed his thoughts.

I'm very happy to be a member of the Nets, and Dwight must think so too. Kobe looked forward to the new season with confidence, This past season, the Nets achieved a good record in the regular season. I estimate that next year we will You can achieve 80 wins and 2 losses!”

Kobe's words made headlines in sports news. He did not hide his ambition at all. Not only did he want to end the Suns' consecutive championships, but he also wanted to break the best regular season record.

Hardcore Kermits are high C, Black Mamba is so domineering, Guo Xu can defeat him, but he will never be able to conquer him. Although Kobe never won a championship again after 2002 because his teammates were so bad, Comey firmly believes that his idol's personal abilities are no worse than Guo Xu's, he just lacks a little luck.

Discussions started online. Many Nets fans believe that the Nets will defeat the Suns to win the championship next season because the Suns' lineup has become weaker. Guo Mi dismissed such remarks and said that with Guo Xu around, everything was just a cloud.

The reason why these people are not optimistic about the Suns is that on July 15, Suns star center Marc Gasol was poached by the Grizzlies. The contract is 60 million for four years, with an average annual salary of 15 million.

Suns owner Brian Colangelo did not match the contract. He believed that this contract was at a premium and was far less cost-effective than renewing Gortat in the mid-level. He would leave salary space to renew Ibaka next year.

The Suns have given priority to renewing Gortat's contract and are planning to make him the starter next season, with Whiteside on the bench.

Bryan is a person who is very good at calculations. Gasol defends the penalty area well and can make mid-range shots and coordinate attacks, but he is not without weaknesses. Slow in movement and without explosive power, his ability to control rebounds is poor.

Guo Xu did not say that Gasol must be kept, that is, he is confident that he can defend the title without him.

Guo Xu has been preparing for the Olympics in Los Angeles. Audrey Jones came to interview him and asked him to talk about Gasol's feelings about leaving the team.

Guo Xu said: We have talked about leaving the team, and I support his decision. His performance deserves a high salary, and he can take on more tasks in a team. I hope he performs better in the future.

Audrey asked: Didn't you persuade him to stay in the team?

The family moved to Memphis in 2001. It was his second hometown. He wanted to play for the Grizzlies. Why should I insist on persuading him to stay?

The Grizzlies assembled the Spanish national team's inside lineup, Gasol plus Gasol. However, this also means that the Grizzlies cannot win the championship, but the two star insiders can attract fans. The advantages and disadvantages of both of them are obvious. Gasol's speed is also at a disadvantage when playing power forward. His advantages are offense and defense of the penalty area.

Audrey asked: The Nets have made several big trades to form the Big Four. Many people think that their overall strength is stronger than the Suns. Do you think they can threaten the Suns to defend their title?

Guo Xu smiled and said: I will answer this question when they reach the finals and qualify for the challenge, because I have already won ten championships, and I have 40 wins and one loss in the finals. It will look awkward to flatter those who have not won the championship. Hypocrisy. If they reach the finals, I really hope they can get a second loss in the finals next year. This is the legacy I look forward to.

This passage will probably remain in NBA history forever. There can be no one more arrogant than him.

Audrey asked: Kobe has championship experience. He said that the Nets can achieve 80 wins and 2 losses in the new season. What do you think?

A very reasonable wish. After all, the Nets have to play the Suns twice in the regular season, and losing two games is inevitable. The Nets can strive for a complete victory against other teams.

The cameraman was laughing so hard that he could hardly hold the camera steady. This was a clear sign that he didn't take the Nets seriously.
