Chapter 571: Riley who wants to poach Xu Xuan

Xu Xuan felt that Pat Riley was really thinking too much...... Or that this guy is a little scared now, LeBron James has obviously become his demon, the biggest demon in his life.

If he could, Pat Riley would have the heart to kill Old Jan...... But apparently, he couldn't.

No matter how much Pat Riley doesn't want to admit it, LeBron is the best player in the league in a decade.

Since LeBron left, Pat Riley has been trying to find ways to oust James from the altar, including signing Ruel Deng to reform the Big Three with Wade and Bosh, all of which tend to this purpose.

But alas, he did not succeed.

As it turned out, his operation to sign Ruhr Deng to replace James' "new Big Three" was a piece of and smelled bad...... So Riley now understands that people are not ruthless and unstable, and letting go of Wade is only the first step, including establishing the big white side as the core player is only part of his team building road, all in preparation for the introduction of superstars in the future!

Everyone thinks that the boss of the Heat team will be the big white edge, but in fact, in Pat Riley's heart, the big white edge is just a transitional replacement, where can he not see the limitations of the big white edge with his old and spicy eyes?

But there is no way to see it clearly, Da Baibian is a player with such attributes, or Riley will not let Da Baibian take the initiative to change and change, and his attributes are suitable for the role of the second master.

Riley is killing two birds with one stone, instead of spending a lot of money to form the Big Three, it is better for me to cultivate one myself, so that the price of forming a super battleship will be much lighter at that time.

This time, Pat Riley is not ready to complacency, and will either come to the good or use the combination of big white side Gadra dic to eat and die.

Xu Xuan, Durant, Harden, Curry...... These superstars in the league who can really lead the team to victory are his "prey", and Xu Xuan is undoubtedly the player he wants the most, whether it is the "bloody suppression of James" last season or the "weak Lakers" all the way to the first place in the league this season, it makes him look at Xu Xuan differently.

Xu Xuan is the "most perfect answer" in Riley's heart, if he can come to the Heat, then the Heat team will immediately become one of the favorable contenders for the championship, and with the heat of Xu Xuan, the Heat team is likely to invite one or two more stars, then there are three or four stars, the Heat's competitiveness is too strong, and it is not difficult to cut James down at that time.

This is what Pat Riley really thinks, so he is very hungry for Xu Xuan, and he has been hungry to the point of hunger......

But Xu Xuan wasn't ready to just do it...... The Heat did return to the Finals under the control of Riley in the future, and the time interval was not long, a few years, from a rebuilding team to returning to the Finals, Riley did have the ability, but ...... Didn't you lose in the end?

Xu Xuan didn't plan to cooperate with him, Pat Riley was a very controlling person, and Xu Xuan himself ...... has never denied his super desire to control...... Whether it is in the Pacers or the Lakers, Xu Xuan's words carry a lot of weight, especially after coming to the Lakers, including owner Jeanie Buss, who is very cautious about Xu Xuan's opinions, and will do what Xu Xuan says if there is no accident.

And Pat Riley obviously can't be an honest tool man, just like Xu Xuan will never team up with LeBron, LeBron can make the game very comfortable, but Xu Xuan also has this ability...... The king does not see the king.

James can work with Curry, he can work with Durant.

Xu Xuan can also work with Curry and Durant.

But Xu Xuan and James really can't pee in a pair of pants.

Therefore, Xu Xuan really didn't plan to cooperate with Riley.

......

After listening to Riley's "big plan", Xu Xuan was not shocked.

The plan is good, but unfortunately it's not my thing......

After playing the Heat on the 22nd, the Lakers rushed to the next city, Orlando, their last opponent in seven consecutive away games, the Orlando Magic.

The Magic have been in the process of rebuilding since Howard left, but their rebuilding speed is really not good, after so many years, the bad team is still a bad team, there has been no improvement, and their management is stupid, or they have been bought.

This summer, the Magic made a trade with the Thunder, and the Magic sent Oladipo, Ilyasova and this year's first-round pick No. 11 Sabonis Jr. to get Ibaka from the Thunder.

Seriously, this deal is really stupid...... With the Magic's current roster, is there any benefit to getting Ibaka?

Can you win the championship or what can you do?

For the sake of the aging Ibaka, he traded the promising Oladipo and Sabonis Jr., and also took a scorer Ilyasova on the bench...... The Magic team's management is so terrifying, even if they are stupid, they can't be so stupid, they are simply playing stupidity to the extreme, and there are few people in this field who can compare with them......

It's really stupid.

Who is Oladipo?

The All-Star players of later generations, if it weren't for the "curse" of the Pacers, Audi's achievements would definitely not be low, if he still got what young players such as Adebayo and Russell would it be to take the position?

Audi's achievements are comparable to pickled peppers, the league's supergiant!

But unfortunately, he was unable to resist the Pacers' "curse of doom" in the end, and was injured and frustrated.

And Sabonis Jr. will also average 18+12 per game in the future, the league's top insider.

As a result, the two who were so talented and talented were sent away by the Magic team, and in the end they only got an aging Ibaka...... This business is done, and the management of the Magic team is afraid that it is not a collective enemy...... No one would make such a deal.

To sum up, the management of the Magic team is quite brute...... In the past few years, "Taobao" has actually found a lot of good seedlings, but what is the use?

I don't know what to cherish, and Ibaka deceived them...... Xu Xuan also regretted it a little, he knew that the management of the Magic team was so easy to deceive, he should let the Lakers trade it, send out Lou Wei and Nick Young, and the other party would take Ibaka, there was no reason not to want Lu Wei and Nick Young.

So the question is, is this business a profit or a loss in exchange for Oladipoga Sabonis Jr. and Ilyasova?

emmmmmmmm, it's a bit hard to say.

In addition to the foolish decision to trade Oladipo, the Magic also signed Bismarck Biyombo from the free market for a whopping four-year, $72 million.

Biyombo left the Hornets for the Raptors last season, averaging 5.5 points, 8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game in the regular season, and performed well off the bench as Valan Younas. The 23-year-old Biyombo can be said to be famous at a young age, at the 2011 Nike Global Summit, Biyombo represented the international team, scored a triple-double of 12 points, 11 rebounds and 10 blocks, and entered the lottery zone with this game, and was selected by the Hornets who were still Bobcats in the first round of the 2011 draft with the 7th pick.

Since the Raptors don't have Biyombo's bird rights, the team can only sign Biyombo under the framework of the salary cap, and after renewing the contract with DeRozan, the Raptors have limited space, and in the end, when the Magic offer a high price, they can only reluctantly cut their love.

But in this way, the inner line of the magic is really crowded and abnormal.

Ibaka, Bismarck, Vucevich, Jeff Green, Stephen Zimmerman, Damyan Rudez......

That's right, Green was also brought in from free agency by the Magic this season.

Green played for the Grizzlies and Clippers in 2015-16, and was traded to the Clippers by the Grizzlies midway through the season, for which the Memphis offered a future first-round pick. However, in the offseason, Green, who became a free agent, still did not reach a contract extension agreement with the Los Angeles people. In the 2015-16 season, Green's annual salary was $9.2 million. And his new club, the Magic, won't have his Bird clause next season

The 29-year-old Jeff Green was the No. 5 pick in the first round of the 2007 Draft and has played for the Thunder, Celtics, Grizzlies and Clippers so far. In 636 games (473 as starters) he has played so far, averaging 14.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 32.0 minutes per game.

In the past, when he played for the Thunder, Green once formed the team's "troika" with Durant and Wei Shao, during which he had an outstanding performance. But with the growth of Oklahoma City's young talent, the team has to make trade-offs for the purpose of controlling salary space. Ended up sending Green to the Celtics.

During his time with the Celtics, Green was diagnosed with a heart problem and took a full season off in 2011-12. After returning to the court, Green continued to be in excellent form. In 2013-14, he averaged 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

In the 2014-15 season, Green was traded to the Grizzlies, but he didn't quite adapt to the Memphis' style of play, and his stats dropped from previous seasons. In the 2015-16 season, Green joined the Clippers and played more of a role as a substitute for the team. He played as a starter in just 10 of his 27 games in Los Angeles, averaging 26.3 minutes per game, contributing 10.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists.

Six interior players...... And there are many of them, but they are not all-round players, and they have more or less corresponding shortcomings at both offensive and defensive ends.

Payton Jr. will have plenty of opportunities to show himself this season, but so far he hasn't shown the potential to be a starting guard for an NBA team.

What's more, the team's configuration in the guard position is very weak, and perhaps none of the Magic's guards have the strength to start on other teams, and the star is bleak.

Jeff Green's talent may excite you, but his performance is not very consistent and inefficient, and his presence could cut Gordon's playing time and hinder Gordon's growth.

The team's plans for the new season are very vague, and the team brings in some expensive veterans, but this does not make the Magic a playoff team, and the question arises at the same time, how to develop young players in the team? The team's line-up changes for the new season are very drastic, which may lead to a lack of chemistry between the players.

Big man alone?

Just the big guy has a fart!

The management of the Magic team is really Shi Lezhi, he has no brains, and he actually has an egg for piling up inside players in the team.

Can a big man eat more than a meal?

Their minds are still stuck in the era when Warcraft dominated the world, and they have not yet entered the current era.

However, the Magic also has a lot of young and talented players, such as Aaron Gordon and Fournier, who was very consistent last season.

Fournier only signed a contract extension with the Magic this year, and the new contract will be five years and $85 million.

Fournier is a restricted free agent, so the Magic have the right to match any team's offer for Fournier.

Fournier, a Frenchman, 23-year-old shooting guard and small forward, was picked by the Nuggets with the No. 20 pick in the first round in the 2012 draft and played for the Nuggets for the first two years of his career.

However, on June 27, 2014, the Nuggets sent Fournier and Devon Mable to the Magic in exchange for Aaron Afflalo. For the next two seasons, Fournier played for the Magic.

It is worth mentioning that although Fournier is not at the top of the ranks, he is improving every year and almost every year.

Last season, he averaged 15.4 points per game, in addition to contributing 2.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals, while shooting 40 percent from three-point range.

What's even more remarkable is that he also has a high attendance rate, missing just three games in a season. Of course, being in a weak team and the fact that the data is not very luxurious, Fournier's popularity is not high.

Many American fans bluntly said: "Fake! I just googled his name. Clearly, the fan was mocking Fournier's popularity.

Some fans pointed out: "Who? This guy is making more money than Curry next season? In fact, Curry's annual salary next season is only about $12 million, which is far inferior to Fournier. However, Curry's annual salary is a historical legacy and cannot be used as a comparison.

It's best to compare Fournier with stars who have signed contracts or signed in the same period, with Tretovic $30 million over three years and Parsons at $94 million over four years. So the question is, Parsons, who averages 13.7 points per game, can have an annual salary (on average) of 23.5 million, and why can't Fournier, who averages 15.4 points per game, earn 17 million per year?

The skyrocketing salary cap is the general environment, and in this scenario, it is reasonable for the contract to be slightly premium. Now that the management has made a decision, it makes sense – at least until the players are worth a lot, and who cares so much about the back?

Not everyone is the boss, anyway, it will be the boss who pays for it, and it has nothing to do with them, what the management has to do is to keep people.

However, in the 2015-2016 season, Fournier's annual salary was about 2.29 million US dollars, and in a blink of an eye, he became a rich and handsome man with an annual salary of 17 million, and his salary increased by about 5.4 times, and the visual impact was still quite strong.
