Chapter 249: It's all the championship
The Bucks have a lot of movement, the trade market has only been open for four days, and they have already completed two trades, Channing Fry, Jamal Crawford, plus Danny Green and Tygibson, who were just signed in this year's draft, there are already four newcomers coming in, compared to Michael Reed, Villanueva and Mason who left, no matter how you look at this lineup.
As the Bucks move toward the lineup Hammond wants to build, other teams aren't idle.
The Cavaliers, who "unexpectedly" lost in the Eastern Conference Finals, brought in strong reinforcements - last season's best three-team member in the league, the former "Big Shark" Shaq O'Neal became the head of the Cavaliers.
After last season's All-Star Game, Xiao Si and Nash were affected by injuries and could only watch from the sidelines, which gave O'Neal the opportunity to "talk about the old man and be a teenager", and even scored a high score of 45 points, becoming another player since Michael Jordan who still got this data at the age of 37.
These two are also the only two.
After this race, O'Neill uttered the classic phrase "I still have oil in this big diesel engine." ”
Well...... Come to think of it, the general manager of the Cavaliers just knew that he still had gas in the tank and traded him.
O'Neal traveled east again, and the news of coming to Cleveland attracted applause from Cavaliers fans, in their opinion, O'Neal's arrival is to make up for the last shortcoming of the Cavaliers!
Now, they can shout that slogan out loud - Knights Championship!
After the Cavaliers fans shouted, the Magic fans also shouted - Magic Championship!
They've also had a lot of movement this summer, almost to the point of regrouping their squad.
Their ball-handling core on the offensive end over the past two years, Turkoglou has left Toronto for love and money.
In fact, this should be regarded as the bane planted by the Magic team early on.
In 07, in order to snatch Rashad Lewis, they gave the latter 6 years 100 million 180 million, and at the same time they also signed a 7-year 85 million contract with Howard.
The salary cap in 09 was more than 53 million yuan, and the two of them accounted for nearly half, and Tekoglu naturally couldn't keep it.
However, the management of the Magic team is really bold, and if they can't keep Turkoglou, they won't stay, not only will they not keep them, but they will also make a big deal and get Carter from the Nets.
It's the former "big four" quarterback, plus Howard, who officially became the league's No. 1 center, this is a copy of the "OK" combination!
Come on!
Now wait for the new season to begin, and from then on the NBA will have a new championship team!
Compared with last season's top three in the East, the Celtics have been a little too quiet this offseason, and Anji has not made any moves since the trade market opened.
It's not that he doesn't want to move, but the formation of the "Celtics Big Three" used up all the chips in his hand, and even this year the Celtics didn't even have a first-round pick, and only used the No. 2 pick to supplement a guard, but judging from the situation of that guard, it is estimated that it will be a new season to help watch the water cooler.
Fortunately, they are in a good situation, although Garnett is injured, they finally reached the second round of the Eastern Conference last season, and as long as Garnett can stay healthy in the new season, then the Celtics will definitely be able to make a difference in the new season.
Never underestimate the heart of a championship – all Celtics die-hard fans respectfully.
***
The East is changing, and so is the West.
The most melancholy should be the Rockets fans, in last offseason, they are obviously still full of infinite reverie for the future, Artest's arrival has allowed the Rockets to have their own "Big Three", which should have been aimed at the championship, but as a result, after a season, the record did have a new breakthrough, all the way to the second round of the West, and almost gnawed down, but it damaged their core player Yao Ming, plus Maddie, who was reimbursed before the regular season, the Big Three collapsed two at once.
Artest is left, and it is still a contract year, probably because of the playoffs to prevent Kobe Bryant's feelings, and Artest signed with the Lakers this summer.
This should be the fastest scattered Big Three, right?
Houston Feng Shui is really problematic!
However, our Morey Taobao experts will never be beaten unilaterally, if you steal my Artest, I will steal your Ariza, 5 years and 33.95 million yuan, and the extremely eye-catching defensive performance and good three-point ability in the finals in June made the white fat man fall in love with this "rattlesnake" and dig him up.
That's why it's a lover's eye!
That's how Ariza began his relationship with Team Rocket.
At the same time, Morey also traded Kevin Martin from the Kings.
These two form the core of the Rockets' roster for the new season, well...... Not to mention the championship, the playoffs are a bit difficult.
The Rockets have officially entered the era of "Texas can't beat the little strong"!
The Lakers snatched Artest from the Rockets, although Ariza was given, but the substitution fee of more than 30 million yuan in 5 years is really unaffordable, and they can only watch Ariza go to the Aviation City, fortunately, Artest came, Ariza has this guy, as long as this guy doesn't make a "Auburn Hills Palace incident" again, then the Lakers' strength this year must be stronger.
In addition, Kupchak also renewed Odom's contract, which can be regarded as stabilizing the morale of the army.
The three armies worked hard, and the Lakers fans shouted slogans - Lakers championship!
There is another team in the West that has also made a lot of noise this year, and Popovich changed his previous silence in the offseason and went straight to get Jefferson over.
Frankly speaking, this should be one of the few players in Zhuge Vic who has not been adjusted.
In his first season with the Spurs, his scoring average dropped from 19.6 to 12.3 points per game, while several other big data also declined to varying degrees.
Three years later, at the age of 32, Jefferson's waiver by Popovich seemed to confirm that view.
Of course, you can't blame Popovich entirely, Jefferson's style of play is mainly based on flank breakthroughs with physical explosiveness, while the small forwards in the Spurs system are more responsible for defense and three-point shooting, which is obviously inconsistent with Jefferson's style of play, and Jefferson has been playing in the league for 8 years when he entered the Spurs, where is the style so simple to change, it is normal not to succeed, and success can only show that Popovich's training skills are too good!
Other than these teams, there are no big deals for the other teams, after all, there are three big fish waiting in the free market next summer! No one is going to spend a lot of money this year.
There are probably two more big trades, Allen Iverson officially signing with the Grizzlies and Ben Wallace Leaf returning to Detroit with a base salary. It's quite heart-wrenching to say, Ben Wallace entered the Pistons with a base salary back then, and now he is back with a base salary...... It's a pity that time is gone, and the regret that belongs to the "Piston Five Tigers" can only be a regret after all!
If I hadn't left, would Detroit have another trophy......
These two transactions are because of the influence of the protagonists, but these two current states are not enough to have any impact on the pattern of the alliance.
