Chapter 127: Flattened

A few words with the old comrades, sighing about life, enjoying the warm pursuit of the new recruits, looking up at the eyes, and drinking a cup of coffee with the old man, talking about the basketball world, listening to Martelley's gentle admonition, Kyle should be one by one.

I got some information from it, because of Kyle's departure, Matletley didn't have a zero gesture to keep, and the situation was very bad, and I heard that the school board had made a voice to kick out the old man and replace Henry, whether the news was true or not, Kyle's heart was full of guilt. Of course! Kyle thinks it's true, the old man really doesn't have anything to say to him. It's a pity that Kyle doesn't have the ability to help much, and he only sighs in his heart.

After saying goodbye to his mentor, Kyle thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to dial Yelena's number, after all, they are also friends, since they are here, it is still necessary to send greetings, and the result is that this senior sister has gone abroad, and the return date is undecided.

Take a day trip with Valejona, Tim, Jenny and others, and the next day Kyle and his brother return to Toronto, and the new season is about to begin! Although he has nothing to do with Kyle, Kyle has to show a positive attitude.

The Raptors also signed two free agents, one is the league's homeless and guard swingman Matt Barnes, who was drafted by the Grizzlies in the second round in 2002 and then traded to the Cavaliers, but was cut by the Cavaliers before the season began. The following year he played for the SuperSonics in summer league and was killed before the season began. But this guy was unyielding, signed with the Clippers in the middle of the season in 04, was abandoned again after the season, and signed with the Kings in the 04-05 season. Now that I'm in Toronto, I don't know how long I can last.

Does Matt Barnes have any talent? It's not bad, but it's pretty average. His advantages are tough defense and selfless style of play, and his disadvantages are that he is short-tempered and often nervous, which is very deadly, and no one can stand it, which is one of the important reasons why he has been wandering.

The other guy is a short Dun type insider, Reggie Evans, he is only 203 cm tall, but he is an out-and-out rebounding maniac, his rebounding sense and card position skills have been superb, and the shortcomings are in addition to height, that is, the offensive ability is less than zero, and there is almost no offensive ability, which is a burden on the offensive end of the team.

The shortcomings of the two are obvious, the Raptors spent a very low price, two base salaries to mess up the two guys, and they have to be grateful, especially Matt Barnes, who is unpopular in the market, and the Raptors threw an olive branch, which is undoubtedly a big gift.

The Raptors strengthened, and other teams were not to be outdone, so the Miami Heat took the lead and took the "glove" Gary Payton again. The New Yorkers are sending Tim Thomas, Michael Westney, Megain Jackson and a first-round pick and a second-round pick next year in exchange for potential rising star Eddie Curry! A fat man as fat as O'Neill, nicknamed "Little Shark", can reflect people's recognition of his strength.

The arms race has come to an end for the time being, and ESPN has also released the analysis and ranking of each team in the new season.

The top teams in the West, the first to promote the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, this is undoubted, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker composed of the core lineup, reflecting the strength is very strong, they basically maintain the championship lineup, but also a slight win, can be described as the division championship favorite.

The Phoenix Suns are also extremely strong, last season's MVP Steve Nash's small-ball storm in the Storm League, Amaré Stoudemire and Sean Marion, Larry Bell and other giants are gathered, and the competitiveness in the West is second only to the Spurs.

The Dallas Mavericks are not to be underestimated, Nowitzki has grown into a top star, they finished in the top four in the West last season, and their strength has increased unabated in the offseason, and with the maturity of Josh Howard, the extension of Jason Terry's contract, the acquisition of Jerry Stackhouse, another big rise in the new season.

The "Yao Mai" combination has been grinding for a year, and as they continue to grow and cooperate tacitly, they will lead the Houston Rockets to a higher level, another favorite for the championship. They have added the likes of Wells and Alston this year, and they are unanimously favored.

There are also the likes of the Seattle SuperSonics led by Ray Allen, the Sacramento Kings with the flashy "Princeton" tactics, the Minnesota Timberwolves led by Garnett, the Denver Nuggets with Anthony, the Los Angeles Lakers with the addition of the paranoid Kobe Bryant, and the Memphis Grizzlies led by Pau Gasol and Battier, all of which are contenders for the top eight.

The most active in the East throughout the offseason is the Miami Heat, they successfully renewed the contract of "Big Shark" O'Neal, and traded for "Fat Head" Walker, "White Chocolate" Jason Williams and defensive titan James Posey, and now they have won "Glove" Gary Payton, plus the return of "Kidney Fighter" Mourning, and their potential star Wade, can be described as the strongest team in the Eastern Conference, although they are older, they are still ranked first without suspense.

As the runner-up last season and the championship last season, the title of the Five Tigers is not blown, and no one stands up to doubt that they are ranked second, and they deserve it.

The New Jersey Nets acquired Vince Carter last year, plus divisional point guard Jason Kidd and turret Richard Jefferson, and they are still a force to be reckoned with in the East.

The Washington Wizards led by Arenas are also an emerging force, and the trident of Jamison and Butler, who just arrived from Los Angeles, is widely recognized, especially by ESPN.

The New Yorkers have also gained a lot this year, and the combination of Marbury + Jamal Crawford + Eddie Curry is still very competitive. There are a lot of powerful generals!

There are also the "little emperor" LeBron James's Cleveland Cavaliers, the Indiana Pacers led by O'Neal Jr., the Milwaukee Bucks who got the top pick, the Celtics of "Truth" Paul Pearce, and Allen Iverson's 76ers, all of whom are potential spots in the top eight.

As for the Toronto Raptors! 30 wins and 52 losses are ESPN's predictions. The reason is simple, Bosh is not mature, and he is still far from an All-Star, let alone a first-class star. The rest is the old fritter Jalen Rose, how much strength is left? Very debatable. Maurice Peterson is the quintessential 3-and-D player, and it's better to count on him than to look to God.

So who else? Kyle Lowry! But he is just a rookie, and it remains to be seen how many pounds and taels he can have, and this guy is constantly in trouble, which makes people very uneasy.

The Raptors were looked down upon, which was understandable and expected.
