Of course, some people were eager to protect their master and found an excuse - James was also traded!
The Big Three of the Green Army were traded. They cannot decide their own destiny, and neither can the Big Three of the Heat!
This is complete nonsense!
This statement can only fool ignorant children!
It is true that James and Bosh were both traded to the Heat, but the Cavaliers and Raptors were forced!
Forced by James and Bosh!
James and Bosh are not forced!
Especially James!
After James announced in public that he was joining the Heat, what else could the Cavaliers do?
Nothing can be done!
It's going to rain and your mother wants to get married. What can you do?
When James announced that he was joining the Heat, all the Cavaliers could do was wait!
If James doesn't care about money and leaves, the Cavaliers will get nothing.
The team's salary space explodes, a bunch of role players surround James, and that's it!
If James wants more money, if the Heat want to form the Big Three and want more salary space, then the Cavaliers need to cooperate, and then the Cavaliers will get some rewards.
Why don't the Heat just sign James?
Because if the Heat want to form a Big Three, they themselves do not have enough salary space.
Furthermore, by trading with the Cavaliers, James can continue to enjoy the "Bird Clause" and get more money and better protection!
The Bird Clause refers to an exception clause that allows you to re-sign for a maximum amount that exceeds the salary cap.
Through the Bird clause, the team can renew the contract of the free agent of the team without the salary limit, but the free agent who renews must have played for the team for more than three years.
Such a free agent's salary can be increased by 10.5% per season, while signing with other teams can only increase it by 8%. In addition, the maximum number of years of the contract can also be increased from the normal 5 years to 6 years.
The Bird clause is set up to protect the interests of the parent team!
This is how the Cavaliers traded James to the Heat.
That's not the result the knight wants at all!
That was forced!
If they had the option to keep James, the Cavaliers would definitely not trade him!
Everything about the Cavaliers revolves around James, and everything about the team is tailor-made for James. What will happen if James leaves?
If the windows of a house are broken, they can be repaired, and if the door is broken, they can be replaced. But if the middle pillar has collapsed, what is the use of the others if they are still there?
What can a car do without an engine?
With James gone, the Cavaliers can only choose to rebuild.
And rebuilding is not the best option for every team.
But James has decided to leave, and it is no longer possible to keep him. At this time, signing first and then trading with the Cavaliers is the best option.
A dead fish or a dead net?
Would you rather get nothing than go to the Heat and get a maximum salary in comfort?
That's what kids do!
How could an adult do this?
Especially a mature team!
The team owner can ignore it, but there are still many people below!
Isn’t that a fool to throw away a lot of money just to breathe a sigh of relief?
No one except keyboard warriors would really do that!
Even a keyboard warrior wouldn't do that if it happened to him.
So the Cavaliers agreed to the Heat's sign-and-trade proposal.
So the Cavaliers first signed a six-year, $110 million contract extension with James, of which the last two years were player options.
The Cavaliers later traded him to the Heat, who sent the Cavaliers two second-round picks, two first-round picks and a 14.5 million trade exception. The Cavaliers also had the right to exchange first-round picks with the Heat in 2012.
Although James was nominally traded to the Heat by the Cavaliers, this does not mean that James is the same as Garnett and Ray Allen!
James is just doing it for his own benefit, so that the Heat can have space to sign him!
The knight is forced!
The knight had no choice but to do this!
Bosh does the same thing.
The Raptors first signed a six-year, $120 million contract with Bosh, and then made a deal with the Heat, sending Bosh to the Heat. The Heat sent two draft picks, plus a deal worth $16 million.
special case.
One of these two first-round picks is the Heat's 2011 first-round pick, and the other is the 2011 first-round pick that once belonged to the Raptors.
Whether it is Bosh, the Heat, or even the Raptors, sign-and-trade is a win-win situation, because Bosh received a salary that satisfied him, and the Raptors did not lose Bosh in vain and got the draft pick.
and trade exceptions, leaving the Heat with room to sign other free agents.
In short, although James and Bosh were traded to the Heat, they are completely different from Garnett and Ray Allen!
Both of their home teams were forced to do so!
James and Bosh have absolute dominance!
The initiative in forming the Green Army's Big Three rests with the team, while the players have the initiative in forming the Heat's Big Three!
Although Garnett's personal wishes are also important, they are only a secondary factor.
Although Heat President Pat Riley's strategizing is also important, the personal wishes of James and Bosh are the most important, or the only thing that matters!
When a team brings three stars together to play together, even if they are the Big Three, it is not a team-up!
A few leading stars voluntarily form a team, and that's how the Big Three form a team!
Although they are all three giants, they are completely different in nature!
Of course, some people are eager to protect the master and defend James from another angle: Although James is gone, he left a lot of things for the Cavaliers and made a huge contribution to the development of the Cavaliers! James did this on purpose.
I still care about knights!
This statement is also bastard logic!
Indeed, James' choice to sign first and then trade left a lot of wealth to the Cavaliers, and this wealth also helped the Cavaliers.
Deng Fang remembers clearly that James left the Cavaliers in a sign-and-trade. After the Cavaliers got a lot of draft picks and trade exceptions, they immediately made a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers.
In this deal, the Clippers received Mo Williams, Jamario Moon and a 14.5 million trade exception.
The Cavaliers received Baron Davis and the Clippers' 2011 unprotected first-round pick, which ended up being the No. 1 pick with a 2.8% probability.
That year, the Cavaliers used the No. 1 pick to sign Irving, and with a young leg, the Cavaliers began to have the capital to welcome back James.
Although the Heat gave the Cavaliers a lot of draft picks, because the Heat formed the Big Three and are powerful, the Heat's draft picks must be ranked low, which is not of great value to a rebuilding team.
The 2.8% probability of the No. 1 pick is entirely due to the Cavaliers' own luck!
