Chapter 459 [Crazy Deal]
Draft days are always full of trades, and with all eyes on the 2010 free market, there are plenty of big names with restrictions and complete freedoms, and it's destined to be a crazy summer.
The Thunder used the No. 18 pick to select point guard Eric from Kentucky? Bledsoe then sent him to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for a future first-round pick. They got the No. 18 pick in yesterday's trade with the Heat, and used the space to eat the three-point king Daquin? Cook, then traded the No. 32 pick for the No. 18 pick in the Heat's hand.
The Clippers already have Byron at the point guard position? Davis and Steve? Blake, they added another rookie point guard, probably looking to trade. It was previously revealed that the Clippers had approached the Pacers with the intention of sending Davis to Indiana. As for Blake, whose current contract expires, the Clippers may choose not to renew his contract due to Bledsoe's arrival.
The Timberwolves used the No. 23 pick to select senior interior Trevor? Booker then sent him and the No. 56 pick to the Washington Wizards in exchange for the No. 30 and No. 35 picks. Then they used the No. 30 pick to select "Training Camp Miracle" Lazar? Hayward, the No. 35 pick, the 208CM tall guard Nemanya? Billica.
Booker is a very impactful interior player who lost Antoine last season? Jamison and Brandon? After Haywood, the Wizards need to strengthen on the inside. For the Timberwolves, after selecting point guards in a row last year, this year's consecutive selection of swingmen has become the biggest topic of the draft. BILLICA IS A VERY TALENTED SWINGMAN IN THE BACKCOURT, AND DESPITE REACHING 208CM TALL, HE IS A VERY GOOD PLAYMAKER, AND THE TEMPLATE IS TKEGLU.
One bright spot was Hayward from Marquette University, a high-impact swingman who was thought to be unsuccessful before pre-selection camp, but who rocketed up the ranks thanks to his impressive performances in the camp. He can play power forward in college, and he will also bring plenty of toughness to the Timberwolves.
The Grizzlies used the No. 25 pick in the first round to select Dominic, a swingman from South Florida? Jones, who then sent it to the Dallas Mavericks, who paid 3 million in cash. At the time of Jones' selection, there were a number of experts who questioned the Grizzlies' choice, and they had already selected Xavier in the same position? Henry, if they're going to keep Rudy? Gay's words, then picking Jones again would make the front line look crowded.
Maverick boss Mark? Cuban revealed before draft night that he would spend money on a first-round pick, when the second-round pick had been sold to $2 million, compared to a $3 million first-round pick, and Jones was an instant player. Previously ESPN expert David? Thorpe has said that Jones is the top five rookie in this year's rookie, and another expert, Ryan ? Rassilo thinks Jones is a Karl? Landry, like an underrated gem. After a successful first-round dig at the end of last year's first round, Jones may have been another brilliant move.
The Mavericks also used the second-round pick to select center Solomon? Arabi then sent him to the Raptors in exchange for a 2013 second-round pick and some cash compensation. Raptors got Ed in an accident? After Davis, continue for Chris? Bosh's possible departure replenishes the inside potential. Center Arabi was previously considered to have first-round potential and is a good center seedling, which is a good reinforcement for the Raptors who lack a center.
There were no big deals on draft night. As soon as the free market opened, the coalition became lively.
The first is Yi Jianlian. On June 30, the Wizards completed a trade with the Nets, acquiring Chinese player Yi Jianlian and some cash, and adding Quentin? Rose sent to the Nets.
The deal that followed was a shocking and incredible! Mitchell? Butler and Zhou Xuan analyzed possible deals without any trouble, but they did not predict a few.
LeBron? James and Chris? Bosh actually defected to Miami and teamed up with Wade to form the Super Triumvirate. Unlike the three old Celtic guys, these three are in the prime of life. Everyone knew that James and Bosh deigned Miami's ultimate goal was a championship ring, but it was a surprise.
Watching the finals, Zhou Xuan felt that James had a psychological problem, but he still underestimated the thickness of this guy's skin. The Heat have always been Wade's team, so what is it when he goes here? The biggest brand in history, or the magpie's nest dove?
James can be said to be frustrated with the Cavaliers because of "Friends and Mother's Gate", but the fans are still scolding. David Stern was also disappointed, he made it clear that he wanted James to stay with the Cavaliers, and he actually ran away.
Talk about the comparison between the "emperor" and Jordan is also getting hotter. Jordan also commented on the events of the luxury triumvirate on NBC's television broadcast, and alluded to the "emperor's" thigh-hugging behavior. "It's not an afterthought, but all I can say is that I never said to Larry [Bird] or to Magic, 'Hey, let's get together and play on the same team.'" Obviously, Jordan used his own personal experience to compare with James, satirizing the "emperor" who blindly moved closer to the superstar pile.
Barkley also commented on James's approach, believing that the decision of the "Emperor" is very likely to bring him down and change his legendary basketball career. "This incident obviously would have taken him out of the discussion of comparing him to Jordan, but he could have won as many championships as he could," Barkley said. If he stays in Cleveland and can win the championship, then it will undoubtedly be an honor. As long as he stays with the Cavaliers and wins the championship, then he will build his legendary career and be the unparalleled figure in the world of Cavaliers. But no matter how many championships he can win in Miami, it's clear that it's still Wade's team. ”
Jordan won the championship after seven years of itching after joining the Bulls, and James also played for the Cavaliers for seven seasons, but still failed to lead his team to the top. In the booming super free agent market in 2010, he made contact with teams such as the Cavaliers, Bulls, Clippers, Heat, Knicks and Nets, and finally chose to settle in Miami and form a luxury vehicle for the Super Three.
The Knicks have the best resources, but James thinks the Knicks are rebuilding and don't have players who can support him. Walsh mentioned Zhou Xuan, James dismissed it, saying that Zhou Xuan may not be able to play at the level before when he is injured, and he wants to control the ball, and he doesn't need a point guard like Zhou Xuan.
Enough stealth in the finals, James was bullish again in the summer.
Joe Johnson signed a sky-high contract extension with the Hawks. Joe Johnson was never a qualified team boss, or even Josh? Smith is a leader more than he is. The playoffs are where the value of a player is truly revealed, and players such as Fisher and Artest may not have performed well in the regular season, but the value in the playoffs is reflected. 6 years 1. The price of 2.4 billion shows the brainlessness of the Eagles management!
Rudy? Gay's five-year, 82 million contract extension with the Grizzlies is also exaggerated enough, and he has a contract with Durant. Gay averaged 19 per game last season. 6 points 5. 9 rebounds 1. The figure of 9 assists is not bad, but 32. The 7% three-point shooting rate is even the 33 of Ariza. 4% is not comparable, and the average is 1 per game. The nine assists also illustrate just how bad Guy's passing is. He's actually a Margeti-caliber guy, and it's outrageous for such a big contract.
Amare? Stoudeyer joined the Knicks with a maximum salary of 100 million in 5 years. Originally, the Knicks hoped to use Smalls to attract James, but James chose the Heat. Stadameyer has a strong attack, but the price is too high. Zhou Xuan didn't expect Stoudamire to sign such a big contract, so there would be pressure to sign someone else.
Durant renews his contract with the Thunder for 5 years and 8500. This signing made the Grizzlies and Hawks very depressed! He is the new scoring champion and is favored by many people to win the MVP of the regular season next season, which can be described as a promising future! And the Thunder's youth storm in the league last season has made the league full of hope for this youth team, who only lack experience.
Boozer joined the Bulls for 80 million in 5 years. As the most famous anti-bone man in the league, there seems to be no word "loyalty" in Boozer's dictionary, and there is a motto of "everything looks at money"! But ridicule is ridicule, and I have to admit that Boozer's strength is really good, averaging 19 per game. 5 points 11. The 2 rebounds show that he is capable of deserving the contract.
Keller? Korver $15 million for 3 years, Ronnie? Brewer is $12.5 million for three years, and the Bulls seem to have a Jazz complex, bringing in three Jazz veterans to assist Rose in one go.
David Lee signed a 6-year 80 million contract extension with the Warriors, and he is indeed a very powerful power forward, averaging 20 per game. 2 points 11. The 7 rebounds stat is enough to illustrate this, and he and Randolph form a twin tower, but there will be pressure to re-sign Randolph with the Warriors next year. And both of them are not good at defense and have similar styles.
In the big deal, what made Chinese fans happy was that Yao Ming joined the Dallas Mavericks for 70 million in 5 years. The Cavaliers were ready to start a rebuild after losing James, opting to sign first and then trade. Will the Cavaliers put Yao Ming and another inside liner, Leon? Bowie sent to the Mavericks in exchange for Dampier, Matt? Carol and Nahoola.
The Cavaliers didn't make this trade to bolster their strength, but to clear up salary space, as Dampier cut Dampier after the deal was completed because Dampier's $13 million contract for next season was non-guaranteed.
Yao Ming's contract is not too big, and it is the same as the Trail Blazers' contract extension Aldridge. Considering Yao Ming's multiple injuries, no team offered him a maximum salary. Maverick excellent facilities, generous owner, great choice.
The Mavericks were out of the first round because the interior was too poor. Nowitzki hinted that he might jump out of the contract, and in order to appease the Nuo Tianwang, the Mavericks must bring in big-name players this summer, and Yao Ming has long been a person that Cuban admires, as long as Yao Ming is willing to jump out of the contract, Cuban is willing to gamble for the giants.
Yao Ming has reached his prime, and he has been plagued by injuries in recent years, and he feels somewhat cold about the operation of the Rockets. Alexander has always controlled the total salary of the Rockets under the luxury tax, so that Yao Ming has no effective helper by his side, and he can only fight tiredly, increasing the probability of injury.
The advantage of the Mavericks is that their owners dare to spend money, and in recent seasons, the Mavericks have been the league's biggest luxury tax payers, and their results are far higher than the Rockets.
Cuban is optimistic about Yao's future, citing the example of Ilgoskas as an example to encourage Yao, who was also battered by injuries between 1999 and 2002 but has been able to stay healthy for the last eight seasons.
The Mavericks are composed of Yao Ming, Nowitzki, Caron? The lineup of Butler, Kidd and Terry, with Marion, Haywood, Barria, Boubois, De Shawn on the bench? Stephenson. That's the depth of the roster that's enough to rock the Western Conference.
