() A lot of big-name stars are locked up in Las Vegas and don’t care about the world. The NBA is also in the offseason. But the pace related to the NBA cannot stop because of this. A lot of big-name stars are training in Las Vegas.
Not long after Sri Lanka, a series of transactions and contract renewal news followed one after another.
First, the news came out that the Pistons successfully renewed Billups' contract, and then the Magic took away Sharad Lewis from the SuperSonics with a billion-dollar contract and also sent a future second-round draft pick. Then the Suns
Not to be outdone, the team signed Grant Hill, a veteran with frequent injuries, to strengthen the team's bench, and then used James Jones and a draft pick to trade Spanish Rudy Fernandez from the Trail Blazers.
, then the Trail Blazers bought out Francis' contract, and soon after, news came out that Francis was recalled by the Rockets.
After recklessly acquiring Sharad Lewis, Dwight Howard, who was already in training camp, made a call to the Magic management. The next day, the Magic announced that they had successfully renewed the contract of the team's core player.
Warcraft's Dwight Howard. It seems that Lewis should be able to calm the restless Warcraft for a while.
Next came a lot of unnecessary contract extensions and layoffs, basically all role players... This seemed to be brewing, brewing for the coming earthquake.
On July 30, the Houston Rockets, who had done almost nothing during the summer except to recall Francis, took the lead in setting off this earthquake. Rockets general manager Morey used a shabby and frowning price, Bobby Jackson + next year's first round
Draft picks + current rookie Donta Green reached a deal with the Kings. Brought Artest from the Kings!
Who is Artest?
The guy who broke Jordan's ribs in rookie camp!
The guy who beat up fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills!
That guy who never makes people worry and is almost the spokesman for violence on the court!
But this guy is also one of the best defensive small forwards in the league. His arrival immediately raised the Rockets' perimeter defense capabilities to a higher level!
The arrival of Artest made Rockets fans and most Chinese fans cheer loudly. It is time for the Rockets to rise. With Artest, the Rockets have already stepped from the playoff level team with one foot.
has become a championship-level team. With Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Artest, the Rockets have formed their own Big Three lineup. More importantly, with Artest,
The Rockets paid almost nothing, and their bench didn't suffer as a result.
Most of the media and sports commentators also hold positive opinions. At this time, they all believe that the Rockets' strength will be significantly enhanced after acquiring Artest.
Just when the management of many teams were shocked and worried by the sudden rise of the Rockets, an even heavier bomb dropped without everyone being prepared!
On July 31st, the day after the Rockets announced the signing of Artest, the Timberwolves and the Celtics officially announced that they had reached a deal. The Boston Celtics traded Ryan Gomez and Al Jefferson.
, Gerald Green, Rat Reeve, Tel Fehr and the 2009 first-round pick as well as a small amount of cash, five players + draft picks + cash, officially signed the All-Star from the Minnesota Timberwolves
Power forward Kevin Garnett.
Another Big Three!
After the Rockets formed their own Big Three team, the Celtics used their actual actions to tell Houstonians that your petty little fights are not going to be on the stage at all, and you need to add a little one in front of your Big Three. This...
…are the real Big Three!
Except for the management of the Celtics and Timberwolves, all other members of the management were shocked by the news.
According to Adrian's memory, this summer's big deal should have ended here, and all that followed were small fights. But soon, history, which had gone off the track, slapped Adrian hard in the face.
, telling you that there is no way to predict the future!
The Mavericks exchanged half of the team for Kidd. Following these two big trades, even more amazing power broke out!
On August 5th, after the league had just digested two heavyweight transfers and was thinking about how to deal with the sudden rise of the Rockets and Celtics, the Dallas Mavericks immediately rushed out and used a very Mark Cuban-like method to destroy the league.
His eyes were drawn to Dallas.
The Dallas Mavericks announced on their official website that they had reached a deal with the New Jersey Nets. The Mavericks sent Devin Harris, Desangana Diop, Trendon Hassell, Maurice Angle and
Keith Van Horn, two first-round draft picks and $3 million were traded for Jason Kidd, Malik Allen and Antoine Wright.
This transaction is exactly the same as in history. The only thing wrong is the time. Adrian clearly remembers that this transaction was supposed to happen in February next year, but now, it has happened in advance. Adrian has obviously messed up history.
Perhaps it is because of the existence of Adrian, who helped the Lakers so much, that made Mark Cuban even more believe that a good point guard will be extremely important to his team, and he realized how he gave up Nash in the first place.
error, so this is all ahead of schedule.
This is bound to be a lose-lose deal, because the Dallas Mavericks, which emphasizes misplaced offense and positional offense, do not need Jason Kidd at all. In fact, in the season when Jason Kidd was just traded to the Mavericks, Kidd
The performance of the Cowboys is indeed very different. The Mavericks and Kidd are completely incompatible.
But now, things are a little different.
If Kidd is given a season to adapt to the Mavericks' tactics, who knows what the Dallas Mavericks will look like at the end of this season? Maybe Kidd can complete a seamless connection with the Mavericks, just like Kidd is taking over
As shown in the following seasons.
"Arms race period!" New York Times columnist McCain Hughes first proposed this term. He believed that this series of transactions represented that the NBA has changed from a core to a helper to a large number of useful role players.
The era of championships is over, and the next era will be an era where superstars gather together. After feeling that there is no hope of competing for the championship alone, each powerful superstar will collectively choose to form a team to increase the chance of winning the championship!
"The NBA will enter the era of monopoly. Several teams with three or even four superstars will win the championship and the finals! The Celtics, Rockets and Mavericks are just the beginning. We will see more next
Superstars come together for a championship." McCain-Hughes wrote in his column.
A series of blockbuster transactions have had a great impact on the preparations of the US national team. It is difficult for everyone to focus on the training ground. When they get along in private, they always discuss various transactions.
If so, Brandon Roy is the only one who doesn't need to get involved in this topic, because the Trail Blazers have Oden. This makes Roy the envy of others. Everyone knows that if there is a super center in his
If you are around me, how relaxing it would be to play like that, especially since this super center is famously humble and doesn't care about his position as the boss.
As for others, except for the team's playoff prospects and those who are in the championship, the stars who are aspiring to the championship have to think in detail about what these three waves of shocking transactions mean to themselves, the team, and the entire league.
Huge impact. As a result, they will inevitably have to suffer all kinds of troubles.
Kobe Bryant is naturally one of them!
Adrian stood outside the door. Even though the soundproofing effect of the room was quite good, he could still hear Kobe's voice yelling at the phone in the room. This call should have been made by Kobe to his agent. If
If nothing else, Kobe is asking his agent to put further pressure on the Lakers management and force the Lakers to give him an explanation.
After standing outside the door for a while, Adrian turned around and chose to leave. He didn't want to be the target of Kobe's anger. The consecutive blockbuster transactions really made Kobe anxious. It would be fine if there were only the Celtics and Rockets.
, Kobe may still be able to maintain a certain amount of patience. But the news that the Mavericks acquired Kidd in the trade made Kobe feel as if he was sitting on the crater. When the hope of competing for the championship seemed to be getting more and more slim, even if he tied
He was as smart and calm as Kobe, but he was probably on the verge of going berserk at this moment.
"Perhaps the Gasol trade will also appear in advance." Adrian speculated slightly worriedly. If Gasol really comes to the Lakers this summer, then he...should seriously consider it.
own future?
Adrian was startled by his sudden thoughts. He shook his head and tried to expel this thought to comfort himself: "It would be a good thing if Gasol comes. Gasol and Gasol are here."
Kobe, plus myself, maybe we can win the championship this year."
Adrian himself doesn't know how effective his self-comfort will be. To be fair, is he a person who is willing to give up the ball and do the dirty work for the sake of the championship?
Adrian cannot give an answer to this question yet.
"In this situation, we can only take one step at a time. Maybe Kobe pushed too hard and the deal eventually went south?" Adrian speculated as he walked out of the hotel. He suddenly wanted to go to the casino to play a few games.
Slot machine to relax. Amidst the increasingly urgent sounds of transactions, Adrian's heart began to become confused. (To be continued. You are welcome to come to Qidian.com (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is
My biggest motivation...m...reading.ps: ps. Should I write about the Wenchuan earthquake? It is very important for the plot, but...it is a light-hearted novel and it has to be experienced again. It is a bit difficult to be decisive.
