For the Warriors in the new season, the Mavericks are an opponent that must be defeated!
If you want to break out of the Western Conference, the Mavericks will definitely be a stumbling block!
Unless the Mavericks are defeated, they won't even be able to push the door open to the finals!
The Heat also have to face it!
Those are the Big Three!
The Big Three at their peak!
If nothing else, the Heat will definitely reach the finals in the Eastern Conference!
If the Warriors reach the Finals, they will definitely face the Heat.
It will be difficult to deal with these two teams with the Warriors' current lineup.
Therefore, Deng Fang must do everything possible to strengthen it.
The first way to strengthen is through the draft.
As for free agent transactions, that will have to wait until after July 1, after the free agent market opens.
Of course, if the Warriors want to strengthen, other teams will not be willing to lag behind.
This year’s offseason is the most exciting offseason ever!
The first thing to bear the brunt is where James is going.
James is the biggest free agent this summer, and his whereabouts have touched the hearts of many fans and general managers.
It can be said that James' choice determines the fate of a large number of players.
With James' whereabouts uncertain, many teams will not sign other players.
Teams that hope to acquire James will not trade signed players in advance.
What if James comes to our team!
Once there is no salary space, there will be trouble!
What if the player signed doesn't meet James's wishes?
Let’s wait until James comes!
James is not easy to take care of!
This is a fact known to everyone.
Of course, the Cavaliers were not willing to let James leave just like that, and they tried every means to keep James.
First of all, the day after the finals, Cavaliers coach Mike Brown was fired!
The emperor has spoken, our coach is not good enough, this is one of the main reasons why the team lost!
Since the emperor has spoken, it must be obeyed!
Who is James' favorite coach?
There is no doubt that that person is Deng Fang!
For this reason, the Cavaliers contacted Deng Fang immediately and wanted Deng Fang to come to the Cavaliers as the head coach.
But Deng Fang decisively rejected the Cavaliers' invitation.
I'm having a good time with the Warriors, why should I go to your little place?
Just James?
He is about to leave, what should I do?
In order to show their sincerity, the Cavaliers offered Deng Fang an astonishing price: an annual salary of 20 million yuan!
Twice as tall as Zen Master Jackson!
A rookie head coach!
20 million a year!
In order to get Deng Fang, the Cavaliers also fought hard!
Of course, the Cavaliers are not stupid either.
No matter how high the head coach's salary is, it will not be included in the team's salary space.
If Deng Fang can be brought here, James will most likely stay on the team.
As long as James stays on the team, it doesn't hurt to give Deng Fang more points.
The Cavaliers felt that the price they offered was high enough, but Deng Fang didn't pay attention at all.
What is 20 million a year?
Just by winning games, I earned an annual salary of 17.55 million this year!
Your 20 million is not much more!
What's more, I also got 10% of the shares!
These 10% shares are worth at least 50 million!
Will you sign a contract like this with me if you go to the Cavaliers?
Even if you agree to sign such a contract with me, it won't work, because Cleveland can't compare with the Bay Area, and the Cavaliers' development prospects are far inferior to the Warriors.
My goal is not just that annual salary!
Of course Deng Fang would not tell the Cavaliers about these things, he just decisively rejected the Cavaliers.
The tough stuff is not sweet, and Deng Fang was unwilling, so the Cavaliers had no choice but to give up.
If Deng Fang can't come, James is more likely to leave the team!
Within two days, the Cavaliers fired general manager Danny Ferry and replaced him with Chris Grant.
In fact, the difference between the two people is not big, one is only half a catty, and the other is only eight taels.
But the Cavaliers boss had no choice but to do this.
Since he wants to leave, he must be dissatisfied with the team.
There is not much room for adjustments to the team's lineup, and the only ones who can make adjustments are the head coach and general manager.
If the coach James doesn't like is fired, and he's still not satisfied, then he has no choice but to fire the general manager!
Will the new general manager satisfy James?
have no idea.
But the current general manager definitely cannot satisfy James.
Then you have to change it!
It's that simple.
But after changing the general manager, James still didn't say anything.
Stay in the team?
possible.
Leave?
Equally possible.
There is nothing the Cavaliers boss can do about James' ambiguous attitude.
The Cavaliers owner knew something was wrong.
If James wanted to stay on the team, he would definitely not have this attitude.
But if someone is determined to leave, what can you do?
Can only wait!
In addition to James, there are also many big-name players entering the free market this offseason.
Dwyane Wade!
Chris Bosh!
Dirk Nowitzki!
Amare Stoudemire!
Paul Pierce!
Joe Johnson!
Carlos Boozer!
Ray Allen!
David Lee!
Luis Scola and Rudy Gay!
These players are almost all the bosses or absolute main players of their respective teams.
In addition, there are Tyson Chandler, Corey Maggette, Samuel Dalembert, Courtney Lee, Trevor Ariza, Hedo Turkog
Lu and others are also free agents.
It's just that these people are less famous and don't receive much attention.
With so many free agents entering the market, this offseason is sure to be exciting.
In fact, not only did the players change a lot this offseason, but the coaches also changed a lot.
In the summer of 2010, 8 head coaches across the league were fired, almost one-third!
This is a huge turmoil!
The profession of an NBA head coach is very demanding and risky.
Who will be the scapegoat if the team's performance is not good?
The first one to bear the brunt is the head coach!
NBA stars are scarce and cannot be replaced casually.
You can still play the game without a coach, but you can’t play without the players!
So the best thing to change is the head coach.
Once the performance is not good, the head coach will be the first to be fired.
There are not many head coaches like Popovich and Jackson who don't worry about their positions.
Head coaches like Popovich and Jackson have been in the NBA for many years, have a lot of honors in their hands, and have proven their strength.
It is precisely for this reason that the annual salaries of these two people are very high.
Most head coaches can't compare with these two people.
Of course, Deng Fang is an exception!
Although he has only been the head coach for one year, Deng Fang is now more popular than Jackson and Popovich!
In the first year of leading the team, the record ranked first!
Won the championship in the first year!
There were countless wild words during the season, which attracted a lot of attention, brought huge traffic to the Warriors, made the Warriors ball market popular, and made the Warriors owner a lot of money!
Who doesn’t like this kind of God of Wealth?
Many teams are coveting Deng Fang, a young guy, and want to bring him over.
But after knowing the price offered by the Cavaliers, everyone gave up this idea.
Deng Fang’s asking price is too high!
20 million a year is not enough!
How much money does the Warriors owner have to pay Deng Fang?
