24, Jeremy Lin

The first thing the Heat signed was Mac Miller.

Miller is 30 years old and has played in the league for 10 seasons. He started his career with the Magic and was once a good friend of Tracy McGrady.

After leaving the Magic, Mac Miller played for the Grizzlies and Timberwolves. Last season, Miller played for the Wizards. He played in a total of 54 games for the Wizards, averaging 10.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, shooting 50.1% from the field, and three-pointers.

The shooting percentage was 48% and the free throw percentage was 82.4%.

Mac Miller not only shoots accurately, but also passes the ball very well. He is very low-key and is a rare excellent team player.

This is the player the Heat need most right now.

In order to bring in Miller and retain Haslem, LeBron, Wade and Bosh publicly expressed their willingness to reduce their salaries.

According to the existing labor agreement, James, Bosh and Wade have bird rights, and they can get a maximum contract of 126 million for six years.

But in the end, James and Bosh signed a six-year, 110 million contract, and Wade finally signed a 107 million contract.

James and Bosh's total salary reduction over six years was both 16 million, while Wade's was 19 million.

Of course, James and Bosh both have player options after four years. Whether they can play with the Heat for six years is a question.

After the contracts of the Big Three were finalized, the Heat completed the signing of free agent Mac Miller. The contract was worth US$25 million to US$30 million over five years.

This price is a bit of a loss for MacMiller.

But in order to win the championship, everyone has to sacrifice something, which is understandable.

Similarly, Haslem also cut his salary significantly, from 34 million in five years to 20 million in five years.

Haslem's five-year, $34 million contract was offered by the Mavericks and Nuggets, but he chose to stay with the Heat.

This is a veteran who has a greater role in the locker room.

Both of these players are very good, and Deng Fang wanted them too, but he couldn't get them.

The Heat will definitely make the playoffs next season, and their player Deng Fang cannot be moved.

In addition, Ilgauskas also followed James to the Heat.

Ilgauskas is the Cavaliers’ oldest player!

Since entering the league in 1996, Ilgauskas has spent his entire 12-year career with the Cavaliers. He has accompanied the Cavaliers through the darkest period of the 21st century and also ushered in the period when James led the team.

The glory of reaching the finals.

Ilgauskas underwent scaphoid reconstruction surgery in Cleveland that nearly ruined his career. He was also selected to the All-Star team twice here. To this day, Ilgauskas still maintains a series of Cavaliers team history.

He ranks first in team history in terms of records, total rebounds, and total blocks. He also plays more games than former Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry. He is second only to LeBron James in terms of playing time and personal scoring.

Therefore, compared with James, who only joined the Cavaliers in 2003, Ilgauskas is more of a symbol of this team.

Last season, Big Z was used by the Cavaliers to trade Jamison and then sign him back with a minimum salary. At that time, many people thought that he was heartbroken and would not return to Cleveland, but in order for the Cavaliers to make it in the playoffs,

Even further, he still accepted the team's minimum salary contract.

This summer, Big Z's contract expired again, and James also chose to join the Heat. After many considerations, Big Z chose to follow James and join the Heat.

Big Z is a good rebounder and has a reliable mid-range shot. His problem is that he is too old and too slow.

Under normal circumstances, Big Z won't play too much time. He is just an inside backup tire that the Heat are looking for.

Of course, it is probably also a face given to James by the Heat.

Big Z signed a veteran's basic salary, and the contract period was 2.4 million for 2 years.

Deng Fang was not interested in Big Z.

In addition to the Heat, the Jazz also made a big deal with the Timberwolves.

The Jazz acquired big man Al Jefferson and sent Koufos, two future first-round picks and a trade exception.

Jefferson is a traditional center who is used to playing in isolation and is a strong offensive and defensive player.

In the summer of 2007, Jefferson was sent to the Timberwolves from the Celtics as part of the Kevin Garnett trade, and has since become the Timberwolves' star player.

Before being injured in 2009, Jefferson averaged 23.1 points and 11 rebounds per game.

Such data is still very eye-catching.

In 2010, most teams in the league valued interior players very highly.

The Jazz just lost power forward Carlos Boozer two days ago, and the arrival of Jefferson can just fill the vacancy inside.

Deng Fang was also not interested in Jefferson.

The offense is strong and the defense is weak, there are no three-pointers, it requires a lot of ball rights, and the speed is slow. Even if it is traded, James will be pulled out for military training against the Heat!

Even if Love is traded, he can only be put on the bench against the Heat.

In fact, Warriors general manager Tim also proposed several trades.

After all, he is the general manager, and this is what he does. You can’t ask Deng Fang everything!

Whether you listen or not, you have to at least find some sense of presence!

One of the most important trades was the trade of David Lee from the Knicks.

Before James decided to join the Heat, the Knicks signed the "little bully" Stoudemire with a maximum salary contract in order to attract the little emperor.

Although James is not here, they no longer need a big man like David Lee with an annual salary of more than 10 million US dollars at the 4th position.

If the Knicks don't want it, it doesn't mean that there is no market for David Lee!

Like Jefferson, David Lee is also a big man who is strong offensively and defensively weak.

There are still many teams that like this type of player on the market.

One of them is Warriors general manager Tim.

Deng Fangke ignored Tim's thoughts and directly vetoed the deal.

David Lee's statistics are good, but a lot of them were produced on weak teams.

Deng Fang doesn’t like the inside player who is strong offensively and weak defensively.

Lopez's offensive end is not worse than David Lee and Jefferson. Although he is slow on the defensive end, he can defend alone in the low post!

So the Warriors don’t need David Lee!

The first player Deng Fang took a fancy to was Lowry!

Lowry is a very good player, but no one has discovered him yet.

Lowry was born in 1986. He is 24 years old, 1.83 meters tall and plays the role of point guard.

In the summer of 2006, the Grizzlies selected Lowry from Villanova University with the 24th overall pick in the first round.

Lowry's career started like most players - starting off the bench.

As a substitute for Damon Stoudemire and Chucky Atkins, Lowry scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 steals in the ninth game of his career against the Magic.

Eye-catching data.

However, Lowry was very unlucky. In the 10th game, he suffered a broken wrist and was sidelined for the season.

After finally recovering his health, in the second season, the Grizzlies used the No. 4 pick in the summer to select point guard Mike Conley.

Conley is very strong, and he is the No. 4 pick, the chosen one, so Lowry has no choice but to make way for him.
