Antoine Walker.

Sun Hao's impression of Walker is definitely different from Walker's impression of him.

Sun Hao may not have dreamed that in the current world, he is already a god-like existence for Walker.

But he doesn't have a big impression of Walker.

When this guy plays well, he is indeed one of the few players in the league who can play from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position.

He is called Bird's successor, and Bird calls him "magician" successor.

It's all a testament to his talent and ability, and he was also basically an All-Star regular, an enhanced version of Odom, during his time as the Celtics' twin stars.

However, this guy doesn't know what year he has been obsessed with three-point shots, but unlike Sun Hao, he can't shoot accurately.

If you don't vote, you will vote in vain, and this kind of demoralization is the most demoralizing.

However, Sun Hao will feel that this rumor is reliable because, it is for this reason that Walker is likely to be signed by the Lakers at a lower price.

You must know that Walker is actually only 29 years old, and he is in his prime.

A player with this kind of talent has no other possibility than a maximum salary under normal circumstances.

Speaking of which, Walker's habit of profligate investment in the late career has converged a lot, especially after arriving at the Heat, he is the third leader of the team and the hero of the Heat's championship.

These are the reasons why Sun Hao feels that this signing will be good.

Of course, rumors are just rumors, and in addition to rumors, the Lakers also completed two signings on this day.

The sum was to be expected, and Payton agreed to a one-year contract with the Lakers on a base salary.

Kupchak is also very good at making face, and praised Payton after the signing was completed, saying that Payton sacrificed a lot of salary or something, which can be regarded as giving Payton enough face.

Another signing was unexpected, including Sun Hao, who didn't expect it.

Mourning, and the Lakers reached a base salary contract!

Mourning was forced to retire for the first time in 2000 due to kidney disease.

Later, in 2001, his injury improved, and he announced his first comeback, but it was stopped until 2003, and he was forced to retire again.

He underwent a kidney transplant in 03, and he announced his second comeback and signed a 4-year contract with the Nets!

It was only a recurrence of kidney disease and had to retire for the second time that season.

When people encounter this situation, they basically give up playing and go to recuperate with peace of mind.

But that didn't knock down Mourning, and he chose to make a third comeback!

It was only because of his illness that he was cut by the Raptors, and although he did not announce his retirement, he recuperated with peace of mind for the next half season.

Because of this, Mourning's name is not on the free market list, and teams rarely look at him.

But now, Mourning is back for the third time and has signed a contract with the Lakers!

"I'm fully fit and I can still play at an NBA level."

After announcing the signing, Mo Ning updated his status on his personal Facebook as soon as possible, and posted a recent photo of himself.

It can be seen that although he has lost some weight, he is full of energy.

It's also extremely exciting for Lakers fans.

Regardless of whether Walker can really sign with the Lakers, Mourning and Payton, if this were put five or six years ago, a proper super F4 lineup!

Although they are all old now, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if they can only play 50% of their peak strength in the new season, the Lakers have a good chance of defending the title.

The familiar plot is here again, and this opportunity to start over is exciting.

Sun Hao didn't expect it, but he was also excited.

Historically, this year has been the most numerous appearances and the most consistent season since 2003.

You may not believe it, but Mourning, who is 35 years old and has two kidneys, averaged 2.66 blocks per game this season, ranking third in the league.

Especially during O'Neal's absence at the beginning of the season, he was ordered to be in danger, and he played double-doubles in 13 of 15 games, playing 15 points, 21 rebounds and 9 blocks in a single game.

"Kidney Fighter" was also called by fans this season.

Q: Why does Sun Hao remember this so much? Because the championship of this year in history is the Heat!

In addition to Wade and O'Neal, the Heat fans also remember a number of veterans such as Payton, Walker, Mourning and Williams, all of whom have their second spring.

It can be said that the championship of the Heat that year made many players who had no championship for life realize their dreams.

Now that history has changed, Payton and Mourning running to the Lakers first, and the rumors between Walker and the Lakers, this seems to indicate something.

……

The NBA free agent market continues, with Bell and the Mavericks agreeing to a five-year, $35 million contract extension.

Historically, Bell switched to the Suns this season, but that has changed a lot now, as he thrived with the Mavericks, was named to the defensive team, and was awarded a contract that was far larger than the same period in history.

As soon as he signed the contract, he called Sun Hao.

Although he was already an opponent on the field, he did not forget Sun Hao's help to him at the beginning.

The conversation in that hotel during the summer league five years ago has influenced him for the rest of his life.

"Without you, I wouldn't be who I am now."

What Bell said on the phone also shows that he is a very practical person.

Then, the Houston team renewed Kwame Brown's contract for 5 years and 75 million......

Don't ask why the Houston team wants to renew his contract, the only interior player better than Brown on the free market has already renewed his contract with the Bulls, and if they don't renew, they will wait for Brown to be released for nothing.

Brown's performance is average in the top picks, but in Houston, the ball is enough, and the stats are not as bad as they are in history.

It's a bit of a chicken, but Houston management has no choice.

This is also the reason why the NBA has so many garbage contracts, many teams have salary space, but if they can't sign people, they can only spend money on second-tier players.

Many people may say, if you can't sign it, just don't sign it?

That's not going to work.

First, the NBA has a minimum wage cap; Second, and more importantly, the team is going to sell tickets to make money.

If this is a bunch of unknown players, who would want to pay to go to the game?

It's day 10 of free agency play, and most of the players have already signed them.

Rumors of Walker and the Lakers are heating up, but the jury is not yet conclusive.

It was at this time that another news broke out by the alliance that attracted everyone's attention at once.

It's a coaching signing.

The Wizards signed Rick Carlisle!!

When they were still playing in the playoffs last season, Sun Hao and O'Neal talked about the lack of a better coach for the Wizards.

As a result, this summer, the Wizards fired Van Gundy and then turned around and signed Carlisle.

It is said that the Wizards directly asked Jordan to lobby in order to sign Carlisle!

It turns out that the face of the basketball god still has to be given.

Of course, more importantly, the Wizards are also a huge temptation for Carlisle, who has not yet won a championship!

Yao Ming, Maddie, Hamilton, such a lineup should have been the favorite team to win the championship!

After this news broke, fans have been talking crazy in the forum.

"I think this signing is historic! The Wizards reached the Eastern Conference finals last season, and if they lost, they lost to the coach, and I thought they were going to sign Adelman or something, but they signed Carlisle! ”

"Carlisle is a combination of offense and defense, he is the leader of the Mesozoic coaches, I like him so much!"

"Carlisle's ability is definitely underrated, he's proven in Detroit and Indiana, and that's what he's missing!"

"Yes, a top coach meets a top team, don't say anything, Wizards championship!"

"O'Neal is 34 years old, and the decline in the strength of the Lakers is inevitable, although Sun is very strong, but I also look curious!"

"I'm here to say, next season's Finals Wizards play Lakers! If it weren't for my live broadcast of handstand and eating! ”

"Count you ruthless, I remember you, I look forward to seeing your video!"

"Watching you eat is secondary, I'm looking forward to the two teams really meeting, and the starlight will make me reluctant to close my eyes."

"I can't agree anymore, last year's finals were very exciting, but I always feel that there is a little less starlight, if this year is a real wizard Lakers, hiss~"

"I'm also looking forward to seeing that man on the sidelines, with his first pick on one side and his team on the other, and that's going to be fun!"

……

The fans were constantly talking, and Sun Hao was also surprised.

No one knows Carlisle's ability better than him, let's just say that in 2K, his ability value is on the same level as Popovich and Phil Jackson.

In reality, he is even more famous as a master tactician, and the Mavericks' historic single-core championship was completed under his coaching.

Originally, Sun Hao felt that this team, which was the same as Houston in history in terms of coach and core, would have a similar ending to the Houston team.

But Carlisle's entry into the house made him feel completely different from before.

The best coach can change a team much more than you think.

The Lakers' title defense will be challenged.

But as before, it's fun to have challenges.

The news of Carlisle signing for the Wizards is in the air.

It was in the midst of all this talk that the free market was nearing its end.

The Lakers, before the door to free agency closed, made their biggest signing.

They signed Antoine Walker for 31 million in 4 years!

Walker was still in the final year of his max salary contract last season, with a salary of 14.63 million.

But the average annual salary of this new contract is less than 8 million.

Or to put it another way, the four-year salary of this new contract is almost the sum of his salary for the past two years.

Walker's small market is one thing, but at this price, the Lakers definitely earned it.

And what's particularly interesting is that after this signing broke, the voices in the forum reversed in a few days!

"Don't say anything, Lakers championship!"

"Starting Sun Hao, Finley, Ariza, Walker, O'Neal, and Payton, Christie, Horry, Juwan Howard, Mourning, ...... on the bench"

"How do I have the illusion that the Lakers are going to win 65 next season?"

"Be bold, 70 wins!"

"Don't be bold anymore and break the Bulls' record with 73 wins?!"

"Wake up! You guys are behind the news, after the Lakers signed Walker, Juwan Howard jumped out of the contract and signed with the Wizards. ”

"Really?"

"Really, the news just now, 20 million in 3 years."

"But this is normal, Howard still has the strength, playing as a substitute last season was sacrificed for the championship, and now that the championship is there, he definitely wants something else."

"Well, I can understand that the contract he signed last year was 1+1, and he was originally out of the contract to renew a bigger contract, but now that the Lakers have chosen Walker, he will naturally go somewhere else."

"It's more interesting now, if the Wizards and the Lakers meet, Howard will be against the old master."

……

Sun Hao also found it very interesting.

Because in history, this year, Uncle Huo played with Yao Ming, and averaged 11.8 points and 6.7 boards per game, which gave him a second spring.

Now that Yao Ming is in the Wizards, he has also gone to the Wizards.

He's really looking forward to what level the Wizards team, which is similar to Houston but more like a plus version, can play in the new season.

Soon after the free agency doors closed, the Lakers signed new signings, including Louis Williams, who had a strong summer league career.

Williams averaged 16.6 points per game in Summer League, and although the Lakers didn't have a first-round pick, the stats were a little watery, but they were enough for management to be happy with.

Naturally, it makes sense to sign a contract.

But when it comes to this year's Summer League, the most amazing is the champion Marvin Williams, who can contribute 24.2 points, 5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game!

Summer League stats may be just a look, but it shows that his instant power is the strongest of the rookies.

It will take time to prove if the Bobcats made the right choice, but at least the Bobcats fans were very happy at this time.

Okafoga Williams, one offense and one defense on the inside, plus Gerard Wallace, this Bobcats team can develop another outside line, and it is not a dream to make the playoffs.

At this time, I have to mention Bogut.

This center, who previously said that he should be the champion in front of the media, experienced an extremely embarrassing summer league.

The Bucks have a 1-4 record in the Long Beach Summer League, and they didn't make the playoffs when they exited early.

Bogut participated in all 5 games, averaging 11.3 points and 9.9 rebounds per game.

That's not a great statistic, but it's worth mentioning that in Game 4, he was ejected from the game because of a clash with Pacers center John Edwards.

Before the ejection, he was 1-of-7 shooting and barely scored six points from the free throw line, but he had already committed four fouls.

From these data, it is not difficult to see why the conflict occurred.

However, Bogut's words after the game once again put him in the spotlight of the fans.

"It's ridiculous, but I need to rest."

I'm the champion, the penalty is ridiculous, and before he officially played the regular season, Bogut had already made the fans remember him.

More interestingly, the Bucks defeated the Pacers 79-72 to earn their first summer league win after Bogut was ejected.

Before that, they suffered a three-game losing streak.

It was also their only win in the Summer League......
