Chapter 113: Free Market
At the end of September, the Toronto Raptors trained intensively, and the NBA players who went on vacation to stay in the girl let go of their shackles and returned one after another, and Kyle's personal training ended here.
Ever since that night he was set up by Valejona, Kyle has completely put an end to that bit of caution and focused his excess energy on the training ground.
At the beginning of July, he signed a four-year contract with the Raptors, that is, a total amount of 13.05 million US dollars in the 2+2 style, with an average annual salary of about 3 million. Although it is a bit of capitalism, he finally got the money, and Kyle should have been happy, but he couldn't laugh. In fact, this money will be cut a lot, in addition to Allens's 2%, there is also a large amount of US federal tax of 38%, and Ontario state tax of 13%, so in the end the money in Kyle's hands is less than half, a complete worker.
Head coach Sam Mitchell, general manager McCloskey and Kyle had a friendly and cordial conversation, basically talking nonsense, which is what Kyle woke up to after the fact, except for encouragement, praise and praise, it is all water! Why don't you talk to him about the status of the team? How not to talk about setting tactics for him? Why don't you add some money? Why don't you rent a room? These are all practical, but the two old guys avoid them and don't mention them at all.
At the same time, the opening of the free market, rumors are rife, ups and downs, and the scandals of big names are endless. As soon as the freezing period ends, the big fish wander and grab money, fierce and abnormal, and the transactions are dizzying.
Day one was the biggest deal in NBA history, with the Heat giving Eddie Jones, Butler, Günther Woods, center Millals, two second-round picks and some cash, Walker from the Celtics, Jason Williams and Emmett from the Grizzlies, and small forward James Posey. The Grizzlies will get "White Chocolate" Jason Williams, Emmett, Ostertag, Eddie Jones of the Heat, and guard Lopez. The Hornets paid Spanish rookie Roberto Dunas, got the Heat's Butler, and the Jazz's Snyder. The Jazz will get Snyder Ostertag from the Grizzlies, the Celtics will get Pochart from the Jazz, and the Heat will get Gündle Woods, center Mirals, two second-round picks and some cash.
The deal was a huge deal for the Heat, who paid only one key player, Eddie Jones, to get three capable players, which also led to the signing of O'Neal to a new five-year, $100 million contract and a contract extension with power forward Haslem. Supernova Wade + O'Neal + Walker + Jason Williams, the championship lineup is beginning to take shape. It has to be mentioned that the Celtics adopted a sign-and-trade approach to Walker, he first signed a six-year, $53 million contract with the Celtics, and then completed the deal, and the agent said that the Celtics were very interesting.
Not to be outdone, the Rockets poached Swift from the free market, a muscular stick with a strong body, who averaged 10.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game as a bench with the Grizzlies last season, which is a good addition to the Rockets with "Yao Mai".
The Kings completed a trade with the Grizzlies, with the Kings' Bobby Jackson and Ostertag trading for Grizzlies' Bonzi Wells. Kings sign free agent Ronnie Price.
The Celtics signed Nets free agent Scala Brien.
The Wizards signed with Nets free agent Daniels. At the same time, he completed a trade with the Lakers, trading Kwame Brown and guard Profit for Caron Butler and Atkins. This is another big deal, the exchange of parallel goods champions and young players, it is difficult to say who wins and who earns. Kwame Brown's average of 10.9 points and 7.4 points per game last season has improved significantly, and for the Lakers, the young "parallel goods" still seem to have a lot of development value.
The Lakers also signed free agent center guard Smush Parker, a homeless man and summer league regular. Mass media reports ridiculed the Lakers' point guard position as the worst in the league, in addition to this Parker, there are also veteran McGee and young player Javucic, which is simply not worth it.
The New Yorkers signed SuperSonics free agent center Jerome James to bolster their weak interior line.
The Cavaliers signed with Wizards free agent Larry Hughes, Raptors free agent Marshall, and signed free agent Ilgoskas to a contract extension. The Cavaliers have spared no effort to find help for "Little Emperor" James, but Hughes's injury last season has left no future in sight.
The Mavericks signed free agent Josh Powell.
The Hornets have signed Nakba to a contract extension with Massie Jascos.
The 76ers signed Durham Bott and Korver to contract extensions.
The Spurs have signed a new contract with free agent Horry and signed Argentinian player Fabricio Oberto.
The Bobcats traded guard Hart for a second-round pick from the Kings in 2006 or 2007. Also swap a conditional 2007 second-round pick with the Suns for center Voscool. and renewed Rush's contract.
This is just the first day of the deal renewal, and it's just colorful.
The next day, the Clippers signed with Kings free agent Mobley.
The Suns signed Jazz free agent Raga Bell.
Biggest player Ray Allen has also signed a contract extension with the SuperSonics.
The Hawks signed a letter of intent with Pachuria, the Bucks' restricted free agent.
The Hornets have signed a contract extension for their free agent Chris Anderson.
The Magic signed Heat free agent Kenyon Durling.
The Raptors signed free agent Jose Calderón of Spain.
The Grizzlies continued to add strength to their backcourt, signing free agent Damon Stoudemire with free agent.
Signings are in progress, with the Suns trading free agent Joe Johnson to the Hawks in exchange for Dio and two future first-round picks. The Rockets have signed Mutombo, the team's free agent, to a two-year contract extension. The Spurs signed free agent Michael Finley. The Bulls have signed a contract extension with their free agent Tyson Chandler. Not willing to be lonely, the Heat once again made a move to sign free agent Gary Payton.
All the way to the players' training camp, signings and trades are happening from time to time, and no one is safe, including Kyle. You must know that the Raptors point guards have been gathered, and there are as many as four. Kyle doesn't know what General Manager McCloskey and Head Coach Sam are thinking! He couldn't control it, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
