(One hundred and eighty-five) the construction of a new formation
Unlike Oku, who was poached before, Turkoglu is a restricted free agent who has played for the Rockets for four years and has a Bird clause. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After accepting offers from other players, the Rockets had some time to consider whether to match the contract. If it doesn't match, Turkoglu will be a Bucks player; If matched, Turkoglou would still be a Rockets player, and the basic terms of the contract would be consistent with the contract offered by the Bucks.
On September 4, the Lakers made another move, signing guard Eddie Eddie in the free market. House. And the Lakers point guard Smush, who flew away in his previous life. Parker was not favored by Lakers management, apparently Jason. Buzz struck again. Smash. Parker's performance during his time with the Lakers was so bad that Kobe Bryant later criticized him for "not having the strength to play in the NBA", and the two had a very bad personal relationship, and they publicly sprayed each other many times. And now the Lakers have two Williams and House three qualified point guards.
On Sept. 5, Parker accepted a six-year, $60 million offer from the Hawks and also entered the stage of waiting for the Rockets to match. This season the Eagles are aiming for a young Joe. Johnson and Josh. Smith is in dire need of a young and capable point guard for the core rebuild. Parker, who has been so good in the playoffs, fits that bill perfectly. Johnson got along well with Parker back then, and he highly recommended his old teammate to management. The Hawks traded to Joe the year before. Johnson, who is very easy to use, deeply feels that the Rockets players are good and can continue to do it. However, the first-round pick that was given up is really painful, and there is an opportunity for free agents to poach this year, so naturally it will not be missed.
The league's salary cap for the year was still modest at $49.5 million, a slight increase from the previous year. But no matter how low the salary cap is, it can't stand the Eagles, and there are few high salaries. Joe, the highest paid member of the team. Johnson just signed a five-year, $69.8 million contract extension with the Hawks, and the first year was only $12 million. The highest remaining player is just Al. Harrington's less than 7 million, again Zaza. 4 million in Pachulia. That way, the Hawks could still easily accept Parker's big contract.
After a heated discussion, Yuanfei and Dawson finally made a decision.
On Sept. 6, the Rockets announced a match for the Bucks, keeping Turkoglu and waiving the offer to match the Hawks. That's how Parker officially joined the Hawks and left the Rockets.
On September 10th, Wang Yuanfei funded the filming of a Tony. Parker's documentary, "Goodbye, Tony," details Parker's basketball career and highlights Parker's indelible contributions to the Rockets' championship run. When it was broadcast in the center of Xiucheng, it attracted many onlookers to tears.
On September 11, Parker, who was far away in France, was also very touched to learn of the news. He personally confessed that he hopes to return to Houston at the end of his career and return to the starting point of this basketball dream, his second home.
On September 12, Amir. Johnson's base salary signing is complete.
On September 15, Gortat announced that he would play in Europe for another year and would not join the NBA for the time being.
On Sept. 19, Spanoulis signed with the Rockets. The contract is for $5 million over three years. On the same day, the Rockets signed Barrett back with a one-year salary.
At this point, the roster of the Rockets for the new season has been preliminarily completed.
Player/Position/Age/Salary ($10,000)
McGrady/Shooting Guard/26/
Jefferson/Small Forward/25/660
Billups/Point Guard/29/640.9
Reed/Shooting Guard/26/600
Yao Ming/Center/25/559.5
Turkoglu/Small Forward/26/490.3
Bosh/Power Forward/21/303.2
Purzbilla/Center/26/200
Roy/Shooting Guard/21/198.8
Spanouilles/Point Guard/23/180
Vallejo/Center/22/89.8
Johnson/Power Forward/18/39.9
Barrett/point guard/23/39.9
In this way, the total salary of the rocket exceeded 55 million, which was significantly more than the salary cap. However, it was barely pressed within the luxury line of 56.72 million, avoiding the luxury tax. Of course, this is still temporary, and it will be settled at the end of the season.
On Sept. 27, the Spurs signed a one-year contract to unwanted guard Steve Brown. Blake. Yuanfei can't help but secretly admire Popovich's vision, Blake can be called a pearl in the current league. The Spurs were not at their strongest after being poached by themselves, and Bobo should have felt that Arenas was not as good as Parker, so he made up for a guard to adjust.
On September 30, the incessant Lakers made another move, trading two future second-round picks for 76ers second-round rookie Luis Brown. Williams. The bench lineup has been further strengthened. Known as Georgia's talented scorer, Lowe often scores 40+ in high school games, and is well suited to serve as a backup for Kobe Bryant when he is off the court, keeping the bench firepower.
It didn't take long for the media to find an interesting problem, the Lakers' backcourt was too congested, and in addition to Kobe, they also stocked up on a lot of potential young guards. ESPN wrote an article titled "Love Williams? pointed out the problem of the Lakers' overabundance in the backcourt. The three Williams of Delong, Little Mo, and Louis are put together, plus House, it is really difficult to distribute.
On October 4, the Bulls and the Knicks completed a big deal, and the Bulls extended Eddie Eddie with a big contract of 6 years and 60 million. Curry and put it with Antonio. Davis was sent to New York with a draft pick in exchange for three players, three draft picks and a draft pick. The Knicks will be saddened by that decision for years to come. Houston's junk contract hasn't been settled yet, and Curry's big contract is coming one after another, which is really a front-door wolf-driving back-door tiger, which will seriously affect their future rebuilding efforts. And the Bulls made a lot of money, and after they sold off the chicken ribs, they completely revolved around Ben. Gordon, Tyson. Chandler and Rohr. Deng and other young players began to rebuild at a high speed.
On Oct. 10, the Lakers signed free agent Matt. Murphy to a base-salary contract. Barnes has also completed the construction of a new team.
The Lakers for the new season are made up of the following players: No. 5 Kwamei. Brown, Deacon Bay. Mutombo, Andrew. Bynum, Chris. Meme; Position 4 Lamar. Odom, Andrew. Bleccher, Brian. Cook; Third position German. Brown, Matt. Barnes, Luke. Walton; No. 2 Kobe. Bryant, Louis. Williams; No. 1 Delong. Williams, Mo. Williams, Eddie. House. In terms of squad strength and depth, they can be called the league's first-line level, although most of these young players are unknown and not widely known in the league, but Yuanfei naturally knows their strength and potential. In his opinion, the strength of this Lakers team is completely comparable to the Suns, Spurs, and Mavericks.
Here you can see that the strategies of the two Jasons are different. Jason. Wang is the type that slowly builds the team by hoarding draft picks, which is slow to form but has a strong ability to sustain itself. The Rockets have won two championships in a row, the players are still very young, and they have hoarded a lot of future draft picks, and the prospects are good. And Jason. Buss, on the other hand, has been heavily scavenging in the free agent market, quickly building up strength by selling draft picks. This is a strategy based on the huge influence of the Lakers and the huge wealth of the Buss family, which has worked quickly, but the ability to continue to develop in the future is weak. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Whoever wins and who loses, the new season is about to see the real chapter. (To be continued.) )
