The thing Jordan wanted to ask was about the team trade.

The Pistons sent a trade request to the Wizards in exchange for Stackhouse and some additions for the Wizards' Hamilton and some additions.

Jordan had planned to rest for a while before recuperating his knee as he told Stern on Champions Night.

But as soon as he retired, the Wizards gave him some shares as president of team operations.

This is also the reason why he will not rest at home and go to the draft site to be a guest.

He's now a small owner of the Wizards, and he's going to get busy with things for the team next season.

The reason why he deliberately went to Dallas to find Sun Hao is also very simple.

The selection of Yao Ming gave the basketball god a taste of sweetness, you must know that all his previous choices ended in failure without accident.

In Jordan's eyes, Sun Hao is the kind of person who sees people very accurately.

This deal has a big impact on the Wizards, so he wants to hear Sun Hao's thoughts.

"What do you think?"

Sun Hao didn't say anything right away, but asked Jordan what he thought first.

"I think it's a good deal, Jerry came out of North Carolina and I know him, a player with a lot of character, and of course it's more important that he's more versatile and can score more."

Sun Hao nodded, Jordan's analysis is really ...... Justified.

"And what do you think of Richard?"

Sun Hao then asked.

'He's a very good scorer off the ball and he's hard working, but he's a bit one-size-fitting, and when we played each other last year and I wasn't fit enough, he was a bit more limited.

Sun Hao then nodded, Jordan's analysis was not wrong.

So in a sense, this deal is really a reinforcement for the Wizards.

But.

"Michael, what kind of coach do you think Larry is?"

Sun Hao suddenly asked Jordan another question, and he was a little caught off guard.

"The defensive coach is very strict, his team players have clear responsibilities, and the training is very focused on the basics, and that's about it."

Although Jordan is in the same era as Brown, he is not his own coach after all, and he understands it, but not too much.

Enough, though.

Jordan has already said everything Sun Hao wants him to say.

"Then what do you think the Pistons would be if Richard was traded to the Pistons."

After Sun Hao asked, Jordan fell into deep thought.

Ben Wallace guarded the basket, Billups controlled the court, and Anthony scored.

If Hamilton is sent to the Pistons and let him pull the offensive space.

Jordan is a basketball god, and he knows what kind of team a Pistons can become.

A team that looks civilian, but is very strong.

So it's a trade that might be good for the Wizards, but it's certainly better for the Pistons.

"But I need Jerry, who can score with the ball and showed last season that he can break through the ball, just like I did last season."

Jordan went on to say that if Mobley continues to aim for a championship, Mobley is not enough for the Wizards.

Stark House, the North Carolina junior, is the object of his affection.

Sun Hao didn't want to break Jordan's illusions, because in history, Jordan did get his wish, but the result was that Starkhouse was embarrassed at all.

However, the reason why he would give advice to Jordan is not only for Jordan, but also because...... He also didn't want Jordan to send Hamilton to the Pistons!

Anthony's going to the Pistons has made the Pistons strong enough, and if Hamilton goes again, wait until next year and Lasheed Wallace goes as he does in history......

Billups + Hamilton + Anthony + Rashid + Big Ben, oh yes, there's also a Prince on the bench that could be played at any time!

What a strong team it has to be.

Or rather, what a formidable Finals opponent it has to be.

So Sun Hao wouldn't want that kind of thing to happen.

It's true that you like to challenge stronger opponents, but it's a fool to watch your opponent get stronger and do nothing.

"Jerry isn't the only player league like that."

"Huh?"

Jordan looked at Sun Hao suspiciously.

"Gilbert Arenas."

Sun Hao replied.

Steve, I'm sorry!

"The Warriors won't let him go."

Jordan didn't think about Arenas, just like Sun Hao thought before, if Sun Hao can't trade Sun Hao, it's good to trade Sun Hao.

However, a high-quality newcomer like Arenas has no reason for the Warriors to let go.

"Michael, they want to stay, and they can keep, are two different things."

After all, Jordan is not a professional general manager, and his understanding of NBA terms is far less than that of a certain James who wakes up early and is familiar with the rules.

In Jordan's surprised gaze, Sun Hao gave him a science popularization of the signing loopholes under the existing rules.

There are no other changes to the Warriors' salary structure, except that Dampier has been replaced by Nash and Wang Zhizhi, both of whom are now core rotation players for the Warriors.

In terms of salary, this Warriors team is a bit higher than the same period.

So it was more difficult for them to keep Arenas.

Of course, more important is the existence of the early bird rule, making it even a question of more than just salary space.

After listening to what Sun Hao said, Jordan had the idea that it was not suitable for you to be a special mother or a general manager.

"I owe you a favor again."

But Jordan is beautiful in his heart.

The operation that Sun Hao said was simply an empty glove white wolf.

"Just remember it."

The favor of the god of basketball, Sun Hao must take a small notebook to write it down.

Jordan smiled and nodded, he didn't like to take advantage of others for nothing.

This kind of favor, he will definitely find a way to repay it in the future.

Jordan Dallas, not many people know about it, and not many people pay attention to it.

Because on this very day, Kobe Bryant has been officially arrested by the police.

The topic of Eagle County also presents an uncontrollable situation.

Sun Hao went to the National Route Center to get something, and heard the security guards at the door talking.

Perhaps only by being in the middle of it can you know how influential this event is.

When he entered the arena, he stopped by the championship showroom to have a look.

The championship trophy is protected by bulletproof glass in the display window.

Although there is only one, it can't stop its golden light.

This thing, for the members of the Mavericks, is a pleasure to watch once.

Above the window hangs a huge poster of a Night of Champions player holding champagne spraying Nelson Sr. and Cuban.

Next to this is a large TV that loops a documentary about the Mavericks' championship last season.

In addition to giving the players gold-plated mice, Cuban will spend another huge amount of money on the team in the summer to renovate the arena.

Next season's Mavericks will be the NBA's highest-tech arena.

This showroom is set up in advance.

"Sun?"

At this moment, a puzzled voice came from behind Sun Hao.

Sun Hao turned around and saw that it was little Nelson.

He has heavy dark circles under his eyes and looks like he's been struggling lately.

Nelson Sr. took Anne to Europe, and the responsibility of running the team for the summer fell to him.

Although he has strong personal ability, he is also a serious rookie general manager, and he doesn't have many connections or anything, so it is definitely not as easy as old Nelson came.

Sun Hao and Little Nelson had a good relationship, smiled and went up to say hello, and after sitting down, they chatted about Annie's recent situation together.

The good news for him is that there is a doctor in Switzerland who is very good at this and has already started to treat it, and the results are very good.

"Del said Anne was an angel and she would be fine."

Sun Hao remembered what Harris had said before and said with a smile.

Little Nelson nodded.

As the two chatted, they talked about the news of the free market reinforcement.

As Sun Hao thought before, Nelson Jr. does not have many connections in the league, which makes him more passive when pursuing free agents.

Take Payton and Malone, two of the hottest veterans in the market right now.

Neither of them has won a championship yet.

Payton is okay, 35 years old, with his ability and style of play, he can still play in the NBA for 3~5 years.

But Malone is 40 years old, and if nothing else, this will be his last season in the NBA.

For Malone, joining the defending champion Mavericks is the best option.

But both Payton and Malone ...... Very cheerfully rejected little Nelson.

There are many reasons for refusal, there are little Nelson who is not familiar with them, and there is the city of Dallas that they don't like......

But the bottom line is that the Mavericks can't give them the role they want.

Although they are older, they want to compete for the championship, not to mix championship rings.

What they want is a title that is even more convincing than the kind of Ross Barkley did last season.

The Mavericks are well-staffed at point guard and power forward and can't give them the role they want.

That's probably why they didn't go to the Spurs in history.

"We're pretty much the same now."

Sun Hao opened his mouth to comfort little Nelson.

Lineups on the current Mavericks roster:

Point guards: Sun Hao, Van Exel, Calderon;

Quarterbacks: Bell, Adrian Griffin;

Youngsters: Finley, Josh Howard;

Omae: Nowitzki, Lafrentz;

Centre-forward: Dampier;

In fact, if Malone comes, the role will be bigger than Barkley last season.

It's just that people don't want to come, and you can't force them to come.

And it's not a bad idea to re-sign Collins, who has historically played as a starting center with the Nets.

Or to put it another way, the Mavericks now have to defend their title.

Little Nelson nodded, but sighed.

Sun Hao looked at him suspiciously.

"If we can't take them, they're probably going to go to Los Angeles, our opponents."

Nelson Jr.'s next words explain the reason for his sigh.

Just like the most important point that the two talked about when Jordan came to Sun Hao before, the operation of the free market should not only consider its own strengthening, but also consider the main competitors.

Lakers F4, will it still show up at the end?

Sun Hao didn't have an in-depth understanding of this history before, and after really being in it, he found that the appearance of F4 seemed to be inevitable.

The Eagle County incident has made OK even better, and the only thing that can allow them to temporarily ease the conflict is the championship.

At this time, it is a good thing to see that the dynasty was ended by the Mavericks last season.

The best way to do this is to assemble a lineup that's luxurious enough.

Then it became logical to call Malone and Payton, who have become free agents and have not won the championship yet, to the team.

And the Lakers tick all the boxes, championships, team roles, and FPX, the League of the Frustrated.

With such an analysis, this is almost what will inevitably happen after the Eagle County incident.

So you say it's a blessing or a curse?

"They're just two veterans, Donnie, we're young, and everything is going to be fine."

Seeing Little Nelson's worried expression, Sun Hao said with a smile.

Little Nelson was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

He was really overly worried, Sun Hao was so confident, what else was he afraid of.

On the third day after the free agency market opened, while the fans were still talking about the Eagle County incident, the free market began to release bombs one after another.

The Lakers, in an extremely fast fashion, took two of the hottest veterans on the free market, Gary Payton and Karl Malone.

The former signed a full middle-class contract, and the latter signed a veteran base salary!

All of a sudden, all the attention of the fans shifted from Kobe's side, and it was fried in an instant.

Perhaps from the perspective of Sun Hao, a traverser, the Lakers' reaction to forming F4 was: Oh, what should have happened still happened.

But in the eyes of others, the reaction was: What the hell is this? Other teams are still playing snakes!

Last season, the 35-year-old Payton played in the SuperSonics and Bucks, playing an average of 80 games, averaging 20.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game, shooting 45.4%;

The 40-year-old Malone played in 81 games with the Jazz, averaging 20.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 46.2 percent from the field.

Many people may not believe it when they say it, Payton's assists per game last season were the second-highest in his career, while Malone's assists per game were the highest in his career!

The Lakers have gathered four Hall of Famer players at once, and they are still in excellent form last season!

If Phil Jackson can get the four men together, they even have a chance to break the Bulls' record of 72 wins!

After this news came out, almost everyone felt that the championship had been booked by the Lakers, and the other teams would definitely be in the role of accompanying the prince to study next season.

Soon, however, this year's free market was marked by a wave of unsettled.

Just when everyone's eyes were on the Lakers F4, an offer from the Wizards to the Warriors once again made fans feel what it means to be excited.

Under the early-bird option, the Warriors could only offer Arenas a contract extension of 175% of the player's previous year's salary (but not more than the cap) or 105% of the league's average previous year's salary.

That translates to a contract with a starting salary of $4.9 million.

This contract clearly does not match the value of Arenas.

As a result, the Warriors could only watch as other teams made offers to Arenas but could not do anything about it.

Once again, Jordan showed everyone that he was "not the same as it used to be" when he offered Arenas a contract with a starting salary of $8.5 million, which gave the Wizards a win over the crowd of contenders.

In the midst of the envious and jealous expressions of a group of fans, the Wizards welcomed another talented two-way guard after Jordan's retirement.

Xiao Sun Hao, Yao Ming, plus Mobley and Hamilton.

The Wizards in the new season are still a Finals-level team.

Coupled with the Pistons and Pacers, the pattern of strong west and weak east is quietly changing.
