The ripple effects after the Lakers trade aren't over yet.

On the day of Li Liang's return, the Golden State Warriors couldn't hold back and pulled the Celtics and the Trail Blazers to make a three-way trade, the main body of the deal was David Lee, Gerard Wallace, Batum and some draft picks.

The Warriors got Batum, garbage contracts, the Celtics got David Lee, and the Trail Blazers got Gerard Wallace and draft picks.

David Lee's role in the Warriors has gone unplayed, and Batum has further strengthened the Warriors' forward line, giving another weapon against Li Liang.

However, if the general manager of the Warriors and Kerr see Li Liang's current muscular arms, they will probably be shocked, can this Batum's noodle-like figure really be used against Li Liang?

Also, in the 14 playoffs Trail Blazers vs. Clippers, Batum didn't have no opponent of Li Liang, and what he was beaten like is obvious to all. It can only be said that the warriors are holding the mentality of giving it a try, and the stacking of 3D is over, regardless of whether it is useful or not. 、

Li Liang now feels a bit like O'Neal in 2000, when the whole league desperately piled up height and muscle on the inside in order to limit this shark, which can be regarded as the last afterglow of the center era. At that time, the New York Knicks had a bad contract, and it is difficult to say that it has nothing to do with this inertia.

The Warriors, Spurs, Lakers, and Rockets have all completed the improvement of their strength to a certain extent, of course, no one knows how they will play after the start of the season.

Others, like the Grizzlies, continued to tinker, keeping Marc Gasol and keeping the Black and White Bears in service in Memphis, but Randolph's energy is running out of energy. The Trail Blazers are a complete clearance sale, Aldridge is gone, Batum is gone, Matthews is gone, and Robin Lopez is gone.

The Trail Blazers Five Tigers, who have been playing well for 14 years, are now left with Lillard alone.

Reconstruction.

The Clippers are trying to find holes in the free market that have left them because of Leung's departure, but unfortunately the hole is too big for those broken planks to be filled anyway. Of course, the Clippers wanted to welcome back their captain, but after arriving in Los Angeles on the 28th, Li Liang refused Ballmer's dinner invitation and went to have dinner with Wei Dazhi and Bai Xiaoting, which made Ballmer, the number one fan, very sad.

There are also teams like the Suns and Kings that have been rotten for several years, pinning their hopes on Li Liang's favor, but Li Liang did not consider these teams in the past. He does want to help the poor, but it's more about getting rich quick, saving the emergency rather than helping the poor, like the sun and the king, to be honest, it really doesn't necessarily move.

Timberwolves... Li Liang didn't know that the NBA had this team.

Among the strong teams in the West in recent years, there is one team that has not moved so far, and that is the Thunder.

In '12, they ushered in a bumper harvest of the draft, reached the finals at a young age, and although they lost, they reaped the future.

It's a pity that the deal in 12 years ruined everything, ruined the future, ruined many, many things.

General Manager Presti will probably regret for the rest of his life why he made such a deal in the first place, and why he was in such a hurry.

After that, they began to have everything going wrong, relying only on Wang Zhan to support the façade, the use rate of the two cores was too high, and they began to have frequent injuries.

No big names want to come to the free market, the miracle of the draft can't happen again and again, and it's impossible for a perfect trio to repeat it.

Durant ended up with an injury last season, and they wasted another year.

This summer, Presti still hopes to do something to not waste the peak form of Durant and Westbrook.

Every player's youth is precious, and the average age of a player in the league is only four years, which can be said to be fleeting.

Of course, the careers of star players are longer, but their peak is generally only four to five years, rising in the front and declining in the later stage.

There are only a few who have a long standby like Duncan, Kobe, and James, and Durant may be able to, but it is difficult to say whether Durant has that patience.

If Durant can't win the championship in the Thunder, then when the peak does not retreat, he may choose to leave and go to a place with more hope of winning the championship.

But a small place like Oklahoma is really unattractive to big-name free agents, and in terms of recruitment, the Thunder have been holding the rope and not making any big deals.

Presti studied under Popovich, which is basically the same way of thinking that the new three years and the old three years are sewing and mending for another three years.

Now, the Spurs have let go of their hands and feet, caught big fish in their own market, and made big trades, but the Thunder still have no action.

It's not a no-do, it's really not a no-no.

When Harden was traded away, he finally got Steven Adams.

Now they don't have good chips in their hands, and they are not like the Lakers, who have a long history, empty gloves and white wolves, let the players take the initiative to vote, and would rather give up tens of millions of wages to complete the "Erhu dream".

The Thunder only moved to Russia in 2008 to complete the team rename, and the most loyal little fans are estimated to have not grown up to enter the league yet, and "Thunder Dream" will have to wait a few more years.

Presti's biggest move was to pick Cameron Payne in the draft.

As always, you have long hands and long feet, anyway, the Thunder draft, you can pick the right hand - so I'm sorry Griffin, although you are from Russia, you can't come to the Thunder.

The biggest thing Presti can do on the free market now is to renew his contract!

In February this year, the Thunder traded Reggie Jackson from the Pistons for Singer, and it can only be said that for the sake of the team's ball balance and locker room, the Thunder can only do this.

After Singel came to the Thunder, he averaged 3 points and 2 boards per game, and he played very enthusiastically, but it was useless.

In July, seeing that there was nothing left to make on the free market, the Thunder gave Sinigler a $25 million contract in May with a stroke of the pen.

So far, the biggest signings of the season have been made.

Then Presti began to worry, and began to think about Li Liang like many teams.

Since June, team managers have been suffering from "Bruce-Lee syndrome".

At first, everyone kept silent, and secretly contacted Bird and Zhu Shu, hoping to get a commitment to join.

But Bird said that everything was listened to Li Liang, and Zhu Shu said that Li Liang didn't listen to anything, and Li Liangwo's hometown in China didn't go anywhere and didn't say anything, so everyone was anxious.

Privately, if you meet in person, you won't be able to talk for two words, "Hey, have you heard about Bruce Lee?" ”

"No, have you heard?"

"Oh no, I didn't, if I had heard, how could I ask you."

"Well, I listened to your tone, and I thought you had heard."

Later, everyone didn't need "Bruce Lee" anymore, just "the-man", that person!

"How's that guy?"

"I don't know, I'm still alive."

"Any news of him?"

"Looks like I'm in a training camp, Yao's."

"By the way, is there anyone close to Yao, ask?"

"I asked, I said I wanted to participate in the Chinese national team."

"Oh, I'm not the manager of the Chinese national team."

In this way, as time went by, some teams gradually lost the opportunity and idea to get Li Liang.

And Thunder is waiting for luck to come, because Li Liang always likes to announce his whereabouts directly on Twitter, but he doesn't tell the management of the team in advance, which has the feeling of drawing a lottery.

As soon as Li Liang returned to the United States, various media began to pay desperately attention to Wei Dazhi's Twitter.

Including Presti, too, has become a Twitter addict, taking out his mobile phone and swiping it when he has nothing to do, and entering Wei Dazhi's homepage to take a look, which is more diligent than watching fitness bloggers.

Finally, on August 31st, the last day of August, Presti saw Wei Dazhi's Twitter update, it was a picture, a blue picture with a shield!

Thunder's team logo!

Presti suddenly felt the blood rush to her head, thunder, thunder was selected!

But if you look closely, it's not right...... It's not thunder, it's... Is it a sign of Skincare?

, why did Wei Dazhi put a Shufujia icon on Twitter.

Presti was deflated all of a sudden, is this fooling me? Heart disease is about to come out.

But two minutes later, Wei Dazhi deleted the previous tweet and posted a new one, this time, it was finally the blue shield logo, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Immediately after, Presti's cell phone rang, and it was Larry Bird calling.

Speed, that's fast.
