The first to strike was the Portland Trail Blazers.

As he has a certain grudge with Wang Xiao, and therefore became the biggest beneficiary of the 07 draft.

This time Jordan Jr. was put on the free market, and the Trail Blazers almost didn't hesitate to make a move.

With 4 years and 64 million, no bird rights, and no Curry clause, this is the largest contract the Trail Blazers can offer within the standard rules.

To tell the truth, the Trail Blazers' salary space is not healthy, Roy's contract is as high as 16 million in the 11-12 season, and last season, the Trail Blazers just renewed Durant with 5 years and 85 million, and Durant's salary in the new season will also reach $15.5 million, and the other of the Trail Blazers' three less, LaMarcus. Aldridge completed a contract extension in October '09 and signed a five-year, $65 million contract, and a whopping $12 million in 11 years.

The combined salaries of the Trail Blazers have reached $43.5 million, and with the contracts of other role players, they have reached the salary cap.

If Jordan Jr. is signed with a maximum salary, the Trail Blazers will undoubtedly trigger the luxury tax.

But the owner of the Trail Blazers, Paul. Alan doesn't care about luxury tax.

At the beginning of the 20th century, he spent a lot of money trying to get the Trail Blazers to win the championship trophy, but it didn't work.

The players who spent a lot of money to sign were all a bunch of ruffian bastards, and the entire Trail Blazers were made into a miasma by them, and the Blazers even had the title of Blazers prison at that time.

Then Paul couldn't stand it. Allen learned from the pain and ordered the team's management team to put Damon on on the team. Stoudemire, Rashid. Wallace and Zach. Randolph and other thorns all traded and then around Brandon. Roy, as the core of the team, slowly eased up.

And now, although Roy's career was almost ruined due to meniscus removal surgery, the Trail Blazers last season still maintained a strong competitiveness thanks to Durant and Aldridge.

However, Durant and Aldridge, although both big men, are not the type to be good at interior hand-to-hand combat, and the Trail Blazers have always had problems on the inside, and Jordan Jr. has the ability to protect the rim and rebound the ball is exactly what they need.

Paul. While Allen did not hesitate to pay a huge luxury tax to win Jordan Jr., he couldn't help but think in his heart that both Durant and Jordan Jr. were the players selected by the Chinese who were swept away by him a few years ago...... It's a very bad feeling, especially when you see the Wizards thriving and reaching the Finals last season.

But no matter what, the real money of 64 million is really in front of Little Jordan.

When the draft was held, he fell all the way from the small green house to the second round, and Jordan Jr. probably never thought that he would still get a maximum salary offer in his rookie contract year.

But that's just the beginning.

Following the Trail Blazers, Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, who has always loved to be lively and not too big of a big deal, also offered Jordan Jr. a contract with a maximum salary.

Da Yao chose to retire in the summer, and the Rockets have lost the pillar of the interior line, although it may be difficult to top Da Yao's position with Jordan Jr.'s ability, but it's better than nothing, right? The Rockets currently have plenty of salary space, and they don't have to worry about paying the luxury tax to sign Jordan Jr.

In addition to that, there is Jordan Jr.'s old club, the Los Angeles Clippers.

There is nothing more painful than knowing how to cherish it after it has been lost.

In order to get Griffin's top pick, the Clippers fell for Wang Xiao's conspiracy and sent Jordan Jr. out as an add-on, and when Jordan Jr. played a price in the Wizards, he began to regret it.

They offered Jordan Jr. a four-year, 58 million contract, not a maximum salary, and there was no way, because the Clippers currently have limited salary space, and the team owner is not willing to pay a high luxury tax.

In November, just after the shutdown ended, a very sensational thing happened in the league, the Lakers, Hornets and the Magic almost reached a three-way deal, and the Lakers almost got Paul and Howard to form the league's fourth super big three after the Celtics Big Three, the Heat Big Three and the Knicks Big Three.

But since the Hornets don't have an owner and the team is managed by the league, as the league's president, Stern called off the Hornets trade, causing the three-way deal to fall through.

He then led the Hornets in trading Paul to the Clippers to partner Griffin in the Empty Spots.

However, it is clear that with Paul and Griffin alone, it may be difficult for the Clippers to go further, so the team still needs reinforcements, and a defensive titan like Jordan Jr. is obviously the best option.

The Trail Blazers, Rockets and Clippers have become the main teams competing for Jordan Jr., and as the team that Jordan Jr. currently belongs to, the Washington Wizards have always been calm and have no intention of attacking at all.

"Are the Wizards really going to give up Jordan Jr.?"

"Bad selection, without Jordan Jr., do the Wizards still have defense?"

"Next season, the Wizards' interior will be the stage for centers to perform......"

No one understands why the Wizards let go of Little Jordan so easily, is Wang Xiao such a short-sighted person?

With Harden, Green and Jordan Jr. released one after another, can the Wizards continue to occupy a place in the Eastern powerhouse?

……

Two days later, the battle for Jordan Jr. finally came to an end.

After much consideration, Jordan Jr. finally decided to join the Portland Trail Blazers.

Compared to the Clippers, who also have two All-Star level players, the Trail Blazers gave him nearly 6 million more contracts, which is not a small number.

Compared with the Rockets, who are offered the same maximum salary contract, the Trail Blazers undoubtedly have the potential to win the championship.

Durant, Aldridge, plus Jordan Jr., even if Roy can't come back, this team is also extremely competitive in the West.

Even compared to the Clippers, the Trail Blazers are clearly more powerful.

The combination of Paul + Griffin is at most the same as Durant + Aldridge, and the Clippers have no other players other than these two, but the Trail Blazers have Durant and Aldridge, as well as the experienced veteran Andre. Miller, who played in 81 games for the Trail Blazers last season, averaged 12.7 points and seven assists per game.

In addition, last season, in order to fill the void of Roy's injury as a shooting guard, the Trail Blazers traded for the Jazz's rookie player Wesley. Matthews, who is a very good shooting guard, not only has a great defense, but also averages nearly 14 points per game on the offensive end.

Now that Jordan Jr. has joined the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers' starting lineup has become Andre. Miller, Wesley. Matthews, Kevin. Durant, LaMarcus and DeAndrew. Jordan's lineup is definitely a top-notch team.

Just when the Trail Blazers got Jordan Jr. and were full of joy, the Wizards, who lost their main center, released such a news on their official website.

The team signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with Chinese player Yi Jianlian.
