The Olympics have cleared and basketball fans around the world have turned their attention back to the NBA league, which has shaken the league by swapping owners for Phil Jackson and D'Antoni before the Olympics, and the shaking that will continue to play out from time to time in the days that followed, makes people feel overwhelmed.

Player transfers are always the highlight of the NBA offseason, and those who are still on vacation as stars don't know when they will be notified by their agents to change owners, of course, this is also a helpless thing, although it is those players who play on the court, and it is these players who accept the cheers and admiration of the fans, but in the end, the NBA is just a game for the rich, and these players are at best just chips in their hands.

Last season's championship team has been in the news since the NBA entered the offseason, although the biggest contributor to last season's championship was Keller, but the outstanding performance of many young talents in the Knicks team is also an important part of the Knicks' championship, when the transfer curtain opens, these young talents are naturally sought after by many teams eager to improve their strength.

At this time, it was not yet in the league's prescribed transfer period, but the private actions of the teams had already begun, and when Keller hurried back to New York after the Olympics, he found that every one of his teammates had become the object of pursuit.

The only one who has no scandal is Keller, because everyone knows that Keller can't dig it at all, not to mention that he will reach a terrifying annual salary of $24 million next season, which is the good environment that the Knicks have created for him, which Keller can not easily give up.

Keller can't dig it, other players are different, after winning the championship, what will the players chase next, naturally money and status, no one will really be willing to be a brother behind others, and no one is not eager to really have a team of their own, and this has become the biggest reliance for many teams to poach.

Thomas feels like his hair is going to fall out during this time, and the team finally won the championship, if the lineup can be stable, it is not impossible for this Knicks team to dominate an era.

After all, the core of this team, the oldest Blake, is only 8 years old, and Keller is not very old, only 7 years old, and their peak can be maintained for at least five to seven years.

It can be said that as long as this team is generally not broken, there will definitely be no one in this league who is their opponent today, but if

"Keller, take a look"

The day after Keller returned to New York, he didn't even have time to lose jet lag, so he met Thomas, who handed Keller a piece of information as soon as he came up, and looked very tired affectionately.

Keller took the information, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, although the actions of those teams have not been officially opened because the transfer period has not been officially opened, and they have not yet been put on the surface, but in private, they have already begun to act, and their goals actually include almost the entire Knicks lineup.

"Andrew Bynum, LaMarcus Aldridge, Steve Blake, Chris Anderson, Kay Martin, Trevor Ariza, Danny Granger, Nate Robinson, Jason Capono, Dwight Howard, Chris Anderson"

Keller read the names that he had been seduced by other teams one by one, and the expression on his face became colder and colder, if he was really poached by the opponent, I am afraid that the Knicks would only be left with an empty shell.

"They really look down on us, it looks like they won the championship last season and their eyes were red, do they think that as long as they can get the Knicks, their team can win the championship?"

"Keller is not the time to get angry, it's all about how we should deal with it, it's okay to be seen by those teams as other people, but Andrew, Danny, Nate and Trevor are going to be free agents this summer, and if a team offers them a high salary, it's hard to guarantee that they won't be tempted. ”

Keller's heart is also trembling, free agent, these four people are the main force of the team as Granger, the third scorer, Bynum is also an important substitute for the team, and is the young man that the team focuses on cultivating, Ariza's performance in the playoffs last season has also matured, and the importance of the team is self-evident, and Nate Robinson, this tall player often performs amazing moves that are difficult for the team to give up.

"Haven't we been negotiating with them for a contract extension?" Keller looked at Thomas with some annoyance, obviously thinking that the general manager of this team was a little unqualified, and he didn't talk about contract renewal last season, and now in this situation, they are the ones who are passive.

Thomas smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I contacted their agent, but they didn't give a direct response, I think they also wanted to sell at the time, and now they are even less anxious, I think they now know that they have become a hot commodity in the free agent market, and at this time they naturally have to wait to see who can give the best treatment"

Listening to Thomas's words, Keller was also helpless, he had been avoiding a problem before, thinking that as long as he could play happily, the players would definitely pay more attention to feelings and would not easily change teams, but now it seems that he is too naïve, the world is realistic, no one will give up their own interests, if they do not win the championship, these players can still be sincerely united, and work together for a goal, now that the championship has arrived, the next thing people have to consider is naturally money and status。

"It looks like we're going to have a smooth road to defending our title"

Thomas smiled wryly and comforted Keller: "Keller's things are not as bad as you think, after all, they haven't said anything yet, and most of them still have contracts with the team, if we can't let go, they can't do anything"

"People can't stay, what's the use of going with them, Isaiah, I will have a good talk with them, and when the time comes, whoever can stay and who wants to leave, it depends on the will of God."

Thomas looked at Keller's appearance, the big stone that had been hanging in his heart for so long was also considered to have fallen to the ground, he had been worried about what Keller would do, but now it seemed that he did not have to worry.

"Keller, if I mean if, if all of these people really choose to leave, the Knicks will really be dismembered by those damn guys."

"As they get better, I will keep the people I want, those who are leaving, even if they regret it, I will not keep them, that's fine, all I want to build is the most united and fierce team in the league, eliminate those who have floating minds, and the rest is the players I want"

"You mean the big waves?"

"That's right," Keller nodded, "Let's see who can stay with us and start the great Knicks dynasty now."

Thomas nodded, he felt that Keller made a lot of sense, although in doing so, the Knicks are really likely to face the danger of being dismembered, but what is the use of those who are not strong-willed even if they stay, since it has been established to build a team with Keller as the core, then the players who stay must be players who are wholeheartedly around Keller, serve Keller, and use Keller's will as the transfer.

Keller picked up the document and circled the names with a pen, and Anderson, Martin, and Howard, three of his absolute loyalists, were placed in the first column.

Martin and Anderson shouldn't be a big problem, these two are all good brothers who followed him when he was with the Philadelphia 76ers, and their salaries on the team are not top-notch, but they are also a prolific contract, and other players can only use the main position to tempt other players, but Keller believes that that little chip will not impress them.

But for Howard, Keller is not so sure, in the original history, Howard successfully squeezed out Francis to become the boss of the Orlando Magic in his second season in the NBA, but because of Keller's appearance, history has changed a lot, and the former boss of Warcraft can now only be a disciple by Keller's side.

It is inevitable that those teams that play Warcraft will not use the position of core and leader to seduce Howard, and if Howard is really moved and wants to leave, what can Keller do, but once Warcraft leaves, who can support the backbone of the Knicks' inner line?

Who's next? Keller's pen stayed in the air, to be honest, he really wanted to keep every player, these players had been with him for a short year, and the long time had been three years, and Keller was really reluctant to let these people go.

But what can be done, winning the championship last season, coupled with the fact that the team is about to become a free agent when many contracts are about to expire, those teams who are eager to improve their strength naturally regard the Knicks as their star supermarket, and if they don't come to rob at this time, when will they wait

Just when Keller hesitated, Thomas's mobile phone suddenly rang, and after answering the phone, Thomas's face changed without saying a few words, and after hanging up the phone, Thomas looked at Keller helplessly.

"Keller, we're going to lose Andrew"
