"Bradley?"

Lin Ying was still surprised when he heard this name.

Because Bradley just had his best season with the Celtics.

He averaged a career-high 14.9 points per game, shot over 40% from three-point range, and averaged 1.3 steals per game.

He is the top 3D, and in addition to 3D, he also has certain breakthrough and mid-range shooting abilities, and his scoring ability is above the standard.

Of course, the most important thing is his defense. He was selected to the second team defensively in the 2012-2013 season.

In terms of pure defensive ability, Bradley is not much worse than Butler.

It's an unexpected surprise to be able to switch to him...

"He will first sign a four-year, 32 million contract with the Celtics. In order to match the contract, they will add Terry. We will find a third-party team to acquire Terry."

Terry has one year left on his contract with the Celtics, and his $5 million contract expires.

Walken Dean did not hide anything from Lin Ying and directly told all the details of the transaction that had not yet been officially announced.

This is indeed a good deal. Butler's maximum starting salary is about US$16 million.

For Bradley, the average salary in this contract is only US$8 million.

This can be regarded as retaining the strength of the backcourt to the greatest extent within the affordable luxury tax range.

Moreover, Bradley is a combo guard. If he is traded, the Nets can let Livingston go.

In this backcourt, Deron, JR, and Bradley will share most of the playing time.

"I'm confident that next summer I can bring a stronger competitiveness to the team than in the past two seasons, but next season, I will do my best, but the team will rely on you more than ever."

Walken Dean still spoke to Lin Ying what was in his heart.

"Mark, you've had enough vaccinations."

Lin Ying replied with a smile.

Difficulties mean opportunities. If he really has the chance to do it, he will be comparable to Nowitzki in 2011 in history.

Walken Dean said nothing more, but Lin Ying's words made him feel reassured.

Before the final whistle, the outcome of the game is always full of unknowns.

Before the end of next season, who says that the Nets will have no chance?

…

On the fourth day of the free market, two big transactions broke out in succession.

First, the Nets, Celtics and Rockets reached a three-way deal.

The specific plan of the transaction is:

The Nets reached a five-year, $80 million contract with Butler, then sent him to the Celtics in exchange for Bradley and a trade exception worth $5 million from the Rockets;

The Celtics signed Bradley to a four-year, 32 million contract, and then sent him and Terry, a future second-round pick, to get Jimmy Butler;

The Rockets acquired Terry and a future second-rounder in a trade exception worth $5 million.

This deal is very exciting for fans, because after such a deal is completed, the Celtics' competitiveness will be greatly improved. Such an operation by the Nets is very dangerous.

But another deal was even more exciting.

The Knicks and Heat reached a deal.

The Knicks reached a three-year, $66 million contract with Wade, with the third year as a player option, and then sent him and a future first-rounder to the Heat for Carmelo Anthony.

At this moment, the fans' expressions changed from excited to fucked up.

"Are the Heat a trump card for the Knicks? They just sent Anthony away like that? Are they worth just one Wade?"

"I seriously doubt that Riley still controls the Heat management! This is even more exaggerated than robbing Gasol back then!"

"James, Wade, Bosh, how are the others going to play?"

"This sounds very familiar. How do other teams play 2.0?" A comment from "Lin Ying Luxury 3.0 Reset Version No. 1 Fan".

"Anthony is just a big data collector. Have you forgotten so quickly that he even skipped the playoffs to win the scoring title last season?"

"I think it's better to be honest. When McGrady won the scoring title, he didn't even make the playoffs. Isn't that what you were saying? As a result, he became very strong when he joined the Rockets and Yao Ming."

"I also agree, and LeBron and Melo have proved that they can cooperate with each other in the US team. I am looking forward to the new season of the Knicks."

"And don't forget that LeBron and Bosh are still free agents and can renew their contracts. Bogut's contract has expired. The Knicks have a lot of room for reinforcement."

"If nothing else happens, the Knicks' lineup next season will be unprecedented, while the Nets' strength is weakening. It's time for the Knicks to win another championship trophy!"

"Didn't you say that LeBron and the Cavaliers are very close?"

"That was before. Now that Anthony is here, LeBron has no reason to leave, and the same goes for Bosh. They will definitely stay and continue fighting!"

…

Fans are discussing, and the Knicks' reinforcement plan is also in progress.

They are in contact with Pau Gasol and Luol Deng. If nothing else happens, at least one of these two people will join the Knicks.

This will be another crazy lineup.

…

"Isn't there any progress with the Cavaliers?"

James asked Paul.

Paul shook his head.

The Cavaliers can't openly sell Harden because they're not sure James will eventually come.

If James stays with the Knicks in the end, the Cavaliers will not only get nothing out of a bamboo basket, but also inflict a blow on themselves.

At the very least, Harden's trust in management will be at its lowest point.

One thing to know is that the Cavaliers and Knicks are rivals themselves.

The James camp and the Cavaliers are negotiating, but the Cavaliers are not entirely sure that James really wants to come, but is just part of Riley's plan.

So this transaction is not only an operational war, but also a psychological war.

The transaction progress is slow, which is expected.

James didn't speak, but his thoughts were indeed wavering now.

For example, right now, the Cavaliers were making slow progress, and the voice left in his mind took over.

The loss last season really stung him, and he was not willing to leave New York just like that.

And New York's business value, Ballmer, these are the reasons for him to stay.

Paul didn't continue talking because James was not in a hurry to make a decision.

The initiative now lies with James.

Just then, Paul's cell phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was David Griffin from the Cavaliers.

Paul knew that James was upset and went outside to answer the phone.

After a while, Paul returned to the room with a smile.

"The Cavaliers have a trade target."

…

After trading Butler, the Nets are also making follow-up operations.

Yi Jianlian definitely couldn't stay. He finally signed a four-year, 32 million contract with the Wizards.

Granger also left for the Heat, with a two-year, 10 million contract, which was his reward last season.

After letting Granger go, the Nets finally matched Crowder's two-year, $9 million contract offer.

Crowder will play a more important role in the second half of the season.

Moreover, Warken Dean also renewed Barbosa's contract with a minimum salary contract.

The current Nets lineup:

Point Guard: Deron, Barbosa, Dinwiddie

Shooting Guard: Bradley, JR

Small forward: Joe Johnson, Covington

Daqian: Lin Ying, Claude

Center: Chandler, Chris Anderson, Jokic

This lineup is still competitive.

Not to mention anything else, the salary of this lineup has reached 95 million.
