Since the '11-12 season is a shrinking season, the trade market for next season is open long before the draft begins.

It's also destined to be a summer full of big deals of all kinds.

A week before the draft, there was a trade between the Wizards and the Magic, with the Hornets sending Okafor and Ariza to Washington, and the Wizards sending "Mr. Billion" Rashad Lewis and the upcoming 46th round pick of the draft.

The Wizards didn't regret sending Nick Young away, and from the moment they decided to rebuild, they were ready to build around the wall.

As for the Magic, they are also going into a rebuilding period, as Dwight Howard has only one year left on his contract, and no one knows when he will leave, perhaps even this summer.

The other trade that was made ahead of the draft was between the Pistons and the Bobcats, with the Pistons packing Ben Gordon and a future protected first-round pick to get Bobcats small forward Corey Margetty.

Gordon's performance with the Pistons was unsatisfactory, and it was difficult to return to the 20+ points per game performance of the year, and Margeti is old, and he is also not the all-powerful muscle-touching man of his youth.

The Bobcats are looking for a reliable sixth man, while the Pistons, who have both Monroe and Drummond, need to rebuild the team with a new core on the inside.

After the draft, the trading market is still in turmoil.

The first to be affected is the Los Angeles Clippers, and Nell O'Hill has not yet settled the contract extension of Redick and Nick Young, and there is news from Dallas that they want to trade Odom, and if the chips are not enough, the Mavericks will be responsible for contacting other teams for multiple trades.

"What are you kidding? Lamar has basically been hollowed out by Khloe Kardashian, right? Are we going to put a 10 million annual salary on the bench?" Ruan Erniu immediately gave a negative opinion.

Lamar Odom is a dead face and bent on returning to Los Angeles, where he is in the spotlight, but judging by his current competitive form, it really doesn't look like a proper championship puzzle.

As for the Clippers, Paul is noncommittal, but Odom's tens of millions of annual salary is indeed a problem, even if the Clippers want to trade Redick or Nick Young in a sign-and-trade manner, I am afraid that they will not be able to match the salary.

O'Hill hesitated and ultimately didn't make the deal.

Sterling didn't give a dead order to control the luxury tax line, but there are some things that have become natural for Clippers management.

The big trade wasn't destined to stop this summer, just after the Clippers and Mavericks shelved the Odom trade, and then in early July, the Nets and Hawks broke out again with big trades.

The Nets traded their second dynasty leader, Joe Johnson, from the Hawks for five-for-one, and the Nets paid Anthony Morrow, Jordan Farmar, Jordan Williams, Tyshawn Stevenson, John Petro and draft picks.

The Eagles re-appointed their general manager in June, with Danny Ferry as the new general manager.

It is conceivable that Tony Ressler is ready to carry out a complete rebuild of this dynasty team.

The Nets, who moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn, are also about to usher in a new era, and the team's new owner, Mikhail Prokhorov, is just getting started.

In the next season, the woolly bear tycoon will use his actual actions to prove how the real local tyrant spends a lot of money.

Also in early July, another heavyweight deal followed, this time with the Lakers and Suns on the heels.

In the same sign-and-trade deal, the Lakers got Nash, while the Suns got two first-round picks (2013 and 2015), two second-round picks (2013 and 2014), a trade exception worth $8.9 million, and $3 million in cash.

The Lakers, who failed to get Paul last year, have snatched two MVPs Steve Nash this year, but Nash is in his forties at this time, and it is doubtful how much form Nash will have left.

According to the news obtained by ESPN, Nash's new contract is 3 years and 25 million US dollars, and for the championship, the old Nash also feels that his annual salary has dropped from tens of millions to the middle class, and he wants to complete the last regret of his career with the Lakers.

Trading this kind of thing is often a chain reaction, and the solar let Nash go, and that's because they have found a replacement - Goran Dragic.

At this time, the claw machine is already a complete free body, and without Kraft Nguyen and Yu Yusen, it is also meaningless to continue to stay in the Eagles.

Of course, money is also an important choice point, Phoenix offered him a three-year contract of 22.5 million meters, and the Eagles did not choose to match in the end.

The ripple effect is not only with the Lakers, Suns and Hawks, but also with the Rockets, Raptors and Knicks.

The Rockets first sent the "Little Steel Cannon" to the Raptors and then intercepted Jeremy Lin from the Knicks with a poison contract, and the Knicks and Hawks made the same choice in the final minute and did not match the contract.

Some options are proactive, while others are forced to do so.

The Los Angeles Clippers, who won the championship last season, had to speed up their pace of reinforcements in mid-July because they missed out on Nick Young in free agency first.

The Lakers, who had just acquired Nash, did not hesitate to throw out a one-year top-of-the-line contract of 8 million meters.

Yang Shaoxia thought about it for a while and felt that he was also playing in Los Angeles, and it didn't matter if he changed teams, so he happily went to the Lakers to report.

The panicked O'Hill hurriedly called Erniu and Sanpao, and Sanpao directly offered to go to Nick Young's house together to block the door and force the team's sixth man to stay with the Clippers.

But after thinking about it, Erniu still stopped Paul's idea, and Manniu said: "This is a business alliance, everyone has the freedom to pursue their own value, and we can't stop Nick from pursuing his own interests." ”

Nick Young didn't keep much to the Clippers' expectations, and Yi Jianlian's switch to the Rockets was already expected by management.

When the Houstoners, who have plenty of salary space, offer a three-year, $24 million contract, the Clippers knew they couldn't keep Yi, the champion.

The departure of Yang Shaoxia and Allen made the Clippers have to make the fastest decision, and they completed the first contract extension of the new season, and they renewed JJ Redick with a five-year contract of 33 million to ensure the firepower output on the second position.

With the development of the NBA in the next few years, when tens of millions of big contracts are flying all over the sky, the Clippers have become extremely valuable to win Redick's contract at this time.

The Clippers' reinforcements are far from over, if Nick Young and Yi Jianlian were poached by other teams, then Kenyon Martin, Reggie Evans and Solomon Jones are undoubtedly the guys that the Clippers were ready to give up.

Ruan Erniu showed his network power at this time, he found his old teammate Chris Anderson, just a phone call, Chris Anderson, who was cleared out of the team by the Hawks, packed his bags and came to Los Angeles, and the Clippers got him with a two-year base salary contract of 2 million meters.

That's how embarrassing a blue-collar player is, even though the Birdman is a player who has proven himself in the playoffs, but regardless of his age or offensive talent, it makes him uncompetitive in free agency.

In fact, before coming to the Clippers, the Heat had proposed to give the Birdman a contract with a base salary of 700,000 meters a year, and the Birdman, who was about to be wanted, almost agreed.

Erniu's connections are not enough, and his next choice to sign is also an old acquaintance of the Hawks - Matt Barnes.

He didn't have a happy time with the Lakers last season, so he eventually decided to switch to the Clippers and look for a chance to continue to challenge for a championship.

Ba Ye, who was clearly here to hug his thighs, also did not shout the mountain price, and the one-year contract of 1.2 million meters got this defensive titan.

The two bulls have connections, and so does Paul, who first tried to persuade Billups, who won the championship last season, to stay, while also recruiting free agency veteran Grant Hill to bolster the team's locker room culture.

Leonard, Thomas, Malcolm Lee are only sophomores, and Draymond Green is a rookie, and they all need experience from veterans.

The Los Angeles Clippers, who are gradually completing their roster, suffered happy troubles in the next moment, and they have two quality options at the same time in the sixth man position of Nick Young.

Nguyen Er Niu brought up his direct from the Hawks - Jamal Crawford, but Paul came up with a surprising name - Ray Allen.

For the reinforcement of this sixth person, Erniu, Sanpao and O'Hill also made a special appointment to meet together.

"What, are you sure the Green Army is ready to give up on Ray?" said Erniu, a little surprised.

In fact, Erniu really didn't pay enough attention to Green Kai last season, and at the end of the 11-12 season, Ray Allen has been slowly reduced to the team's substitute from the main player who can't be beaten by Ray, and he is replaced by Avery Bradley.

The arrogant Allen has been involved in trade rumours since last season, and when it comes to contract year, the shrewd Danny Ainge will not offer any decent contract to the aged Ray Allen.

This is bound to be a disappointment for one of the former Big Three, after all, Pierce and Garnett are both big contracts.

As for the contradictions between the Green Army players that have been hyped by the media in the future, especially the various feuds between Rondo and Ray Allen, they more or less have the flavor of adding fuel and vinegar.

In fact, even Rondo, one of the protagonists of that incident, after the turmoil gradually subsided, also stood up and admitted that in fact, the contradiction between him and Ray Allen was not as deep as the media said, Ray Allen was just a consistent misfit, and as for the problem of the main position, it was caused by the decline of Ray Allen's own level.

Whether it's not enough money, respect for the players, or the team's vision, no matter what the point of view, there is no need for Ray Allen to stay.

Because Erniu single-handedly blocked the road to the triumvirate to win the championship, Ray Allen still does not have a ring on him, and Ray Allen, who is at the end of his career, naturally wants to join a team with the strength to win the championship.

So there are only two options in front of him: the Los Angeles Clippers or the Miami Heat.

'I think Ray is a better fit for our system and Crawford is good, but he's the kind of player who needs to have the ball in his hands, but don't forget, we've got Isaiah [Thomas] and he also needs to have the ball in his hands to be powerful, and in that regard, Ray is clearly better off the ball than Crawford. Paul gave his reasons.

I have to say that Paul's reasons are quite sufficient, and even Erniu has to reweigh the pros and cons.

After some thought, Erniu asked, "What about Lei's contract, and how much do we need to give to be appropriate?"

"At the end of the day, what Ray needs is respect, and I dare say that as long as we promise not to trade him during the contract, we can take him down with a small middle class." ”

Erniu smiled: "It seems that you and Lei have almost communicated, okay, I have no problem." The rest is up to Nell. ”

In less than a day, the Clippers announced on their official website that they had officially signed free agent Ray Allen, according to later media disclosures, Ray Allen's contract was only 3 years and 9.5 million meters, of which the third year was a player option.

Nguyen Erniu later called Crawford to apologize, and Crawford expressed his understanding, and then the Heat extended an olive branch to him, taking the former best sixth man on a one-year contract of 5 million meters.

On the other hand, after losing the championship for two consecutive years, the Heat finally took down Spostela and was succeeded by none other than Mike Woodson, who had just been fired by the Hawks.

As the only owner of a two-time COY in the league, and also a meritorious coach who single-handedly excavated Ruan Erniu, the intention of the Heat's move is already very obvious, they are going for the Clippers.

The story of July trading is pretty much the same, but the biggest deal of the summer came in August:

It's a four-team deal, and here's how:

Lakers get: Howard, Earl Clark, Chris Dujon.

Sent out: Bynum, McRoberts, Ayngar, 2015 second-round picks and 2017 first-round picks (all protected)

Magic gets: Afflalo, Harrington, Harkris, Vucevic, McRoberts, Aiinga, 2013 second-round pick (from the Nuggets), 2014 first-round pick (from the Nuggets), 2015 first-round protected pick (from the 76ers), 2015 second-round protected pick (from the Lakers), 2017 protected first-round pick (from the Lakers).

Sent out: Howard, Duhon, Clark, Richardson.

The 76ers get: Bynum, Richardson.?

Sent out: Iguodala, Hakris, Vucevic and a protected 2015 first-round pick.

Nuggets get: Iguodala.

Sent out: Afflaro, Harrington, 2013 second-round pick, 2014 first-round pick.

The Lakers finally made big news this summer, because they have a luxurious new F4 composed of Kobe, Howard, Gasol, and Nash, and it is not enough to say that the Lakers are the Big Three, but counting the top middle-class Nick Young, the Lakers' luxury tax is about to explode.

It's a crazy gamble by Jim Bass, and only God knows if he can win the championship or not.

There were also a lot of trades in the league later, but what caught Erniu's attention the most was undoubtedly the six-man deal between the Thunder and the Rockets.

The Rockets sent Kevin Martin, rookie Lamb and three future draft picks to James Harden, Kerr Aldridge, Lazar Harward and Daequine Cook.

When Erniu learned the news, he was greatly relieved, because the Thunder could not pose a substantial threat to the Clippers in the next few years.

The above trade came before the start of the 12-13 season, which can be described as the last big trade before the start of the new season.

Of course, it can't be forgotten that the Grizzlies then traded Rudy Gay to the Raptors in a three-way trade and got Prince from the Pistons.

However, from the perspective of Erniu, the Thunder's trade for Harden is the biggest good news for the Clippers.

The new season is about to begin, and the Clippers' lineup is basically decided:

C DeAndrew Jordan, Chris Anderson, Hassan Whiteside

PF Nguyen Er Niu, Draymond Green

SF Kawhi Leonard, Sean Battier, Matt Barnes, Grant Hill

SG JJ Redick, Ray Allen, Malcolm Lee

PG Chris Paul, Isaiah Thomas, Chauncey Billups
