The summer league ended easily, and the Cavaliers entered the stage of the final positioning squad at this time, and after a few days of team practice, everyone had a deeper understanding of each other's strengths.

It's just that the Cavaliers management is most worried about the weakness of the interior, Williams is too young, Jamison is unstable, Olney is too old, and Hollins still needs to grow......

Of course, these things don't need to be considered by Huang Xiang and the others, they have also allowed themselves to grow in high and light training in the past few days, while veterans such as O'Neill are finding their own state in training.

The players are training intensively, and in the past few days, the management of the Cavaliers led by Grant has also contacted one team after another to see if there is any sale of the center, after all, for the Cavaliers, this matter is the most important.

A few days later, a person was identified, Mark. Gasol, it's just that this guy has expired, and signing him doesn't guarantee the position of the others, and Mark is indeed a bit unsuitable for the Cavaliers.

Therefore, the Cavaliers can only temporarily give up on the solicitation of Mark and look for other targets.

"Lefou, how do you feel about this guy?" Scott looked at Grant in front of him and said, and the other high-ranking people around him also turned their heads after hearing this.

Lefou? The two-pair king? Grant's eyes lit up when he heard this, but can the Timberwolves let him go?

"I don't feel like it's a joke, first of all, I feel that the Timberwolves can't let go, Lefou's performance has been selected as an All-Star last year, and besides, Davis's annual salary is more than 10 million, and Lefu is only half of his, so they won't let people waste their salary." A senior executive looked at Grant and said. Indeed, everyone who listened to his words felt that this was very correct, the Timberwolves had waited for so many years and finally came up with a high-level insider, so as long as their heads were not clamped, they would not let him out easily.

"Wait, there is a good saying, the NBA is a business field, so, as long as we spend some money, it is not impossible for them not to let go, and besides, a star point guard like Davis, they also need it, and Rubio needs someone to bring him even if he comes to the Timberwolves." Scott thought about it and felt that it was still possible.

"Forget it, it's not just such an inside line who can grab rebounds, let's see if there is anything else more suitable for us." Grant rubbed his head, this manager is really not good.

"Manager, I think there's a guy who's a good fit." A woman thought for a moment and said.

All eyes were on the girl, waiting for his answer.

"Hehe, this man is Paul. Gasol. The woman looked at a few people and said seriously, but Scott saw a hint of confidence in her eyes, and she didn't know why.

"Tell me your reasoning." Grant asked with interest.

"He's going to expire this year, and there must be a gap in his heart with a new manager, and the most important thing is that none of last year's comments are beneficial to him, he must have the idea of leaving, what about this guy?" The woman looked at Grant and said slowly, secretly hooking her eyes from time to time.

After listening to her words, everyone pondered for a while, but Grant still felt inappropriate, would the Lakers easily let go of Gasol?

"I don't think this thing will work out, even if he doesn't perform well this time, but I don't think the Lakers will just let him go, I don't think the Lakers' twin tower combination will fail, but you can still give it a try, Pete, call Gasol's agent and ask if they are here." Grant thought for a moment and said to the assistant beside him.

Pete listened to this, picked up his phone and walked to the window, and returned to his seat half an hour later, unable to tell from his expression whether he was happy or worried.

"I just spoke on the phone with Gasol's agent, and they made it clear that it is not impossible to come to the Cavaliers, but at least a three-year contract, and it will cost about $45 million." Pete glanced at Grant with a wry smile, and then said to a few people around him.

Grass, the lion opened his mouth, and the knights couldn't afford to raise such an uncle. Grant pursed his lips after hearing this, soft, soft, why aren't you soft when you ask for money?

"Forget it, even if we send Davis out, we will exceed the capped salary, for this inaccurate guy, it's not worth it." Scott laughed when he heard this, what a guy who didn't think he was a good guy.

"Okay, the original plan, go all out to win over Howard, everyone go and prepare, even if we pack Jones and Williams, we have to send Howard from the Magic, and we can't let the Lakers succeed." Grant slapped the table one last time, got up and walked out the door.

Dwyan. Howard? It's really the best option, the best center in the league right now, but is it that simple?

After the meeting, Pete went straight to Orlando with Grant, and they wanted to find Howard, and they believed that with the current personnel of their team, they believed that Howard would be tempted.

On July 28, news broke in the sports media that the Cavaliers and the Magic reached a consensus that a big deal involving four or five people was involved, but this was nothing more than speculation.

Some say the Cavaliers traded Huang Xiang and Jamison for Magic stars Howard and Arenas, while others say that the Cavaliers traded Jamison Davis for Howard and Duhon.

Although it is just a rumor, it is very uncomfortable for the person concerned.

Recently, many people in the Cavaliers' internal training are not in shape, and the main reason is that these guys know that there must be a big deal in the interior recently, but who it is.

Looking at the performance of everyone on the team, Grant and Scott accelerated the pace of the trade even more, looking for the real interior mogul who belonged to the Cavaliers.

Many teams have started their moves at this time, such as the Rockets, who are hell-bent on getting Ai Jr. (Iguodala) this year.

The Rockets used Kevin. Martin and Iguodala were traded for a second-round pick in 2012, and while it looks like the two sides didn't make a lot of money, Iguodala didn't play very well last year.

Mark who was passed by the Cavaliers. Gasol has also found a new club, with the Spurs bringing Mark to their team to supplement their interior and also freeing Duncan to the power forward position.

On August 1st, with only one month left before the new season, a sensational news came out of the league.

At 9 a.m. on Aug. 1, the Cavaliers and Magic held a press conference where four players sat on it.

The Cavaliers traded the bearded Davis and Jamison for the Magic monsters Howard and Redick, and this news directly pushed the Cavaliers to the top of the league.

After this trade, many people said that the Magic team was not worth it, but most people still felt that this deal was a good fit, and as for the reason, it was simple.

Howard is extraordinary, but although he has brought the Magic team to the Finals for several years, Howard still can't become the absolute ruler of a game, and the Magic team management has gradually lost patience with him over the past few years, just like Garnett of the Timberwolves back then, they also chose to trade him out this year.

Getting the beard and Jamison, the guy with two tens of millions of dollars on the contract, is still very helpful to the Magic.

The Cavaliers who got Howard are also like fish in water, and although the weak interior line has lost Jamison, it has ushered in a more powerful Howard.

On August 2, all the new players in the Cavaliers came to the press conference to show their new jerseys, and the Cavaliers' 15-man roster was finally determined.

Point guards, Iverson, Gibson, and Sessions, the three point guards, both old and young, can definitely impact the opponent's interior line well.

Scoring guards, Huang Xiang, Carter. Reddick, the second position of the champion Xiu's pressure formation, is estimated to become the enemy's nightmare.

Small forwards, Jones, Petrus, Weaver, the same three players to choose from, are also good outside players.

The big forwards, Williams and Hickson, lack a strong big forward, but no one is worried, because there is a super fierce man at the No. 5 position.

Centers, Howard, O'Neal, Hawkins, Mesev, used to worry that there would be no good centers, but now there are too many of them, and I don't know which one is going to be cut.

Here's the list of people who will attend today's press conference, and of course, this doesn't mean that they have been with the Cavaliers for a year, and maybe tomorrow, they will be traded.

As it turns out, that's exactly what happened.

The next day, the Cavaliers management received a call from Team Rocket, who wanted to exchange Weaver and recall Team Rocket's former Bat King.

However, the Cavaliers were very optimistic about their chips and directly pushed down the trade, but the Rockets did not give up.

The Rockets then traded Bardinger and the 2012 first-round pick as chips in exchange for Weaver and Mesoff, thinking the Cavaliers would be tempted, but the Cavaliers again denied their request on the grounds that we don't lack outside linemen.

In the end, the Rockets had to give up this idea, and the current Cavaliers have treasures in their hands.

But after a few days, the Cavaliers faced a big problem, the total salary has exceeded the labor contract by more than 3.4 million, that is, the Cavaliers management needs to pay a fine of more than 3 million to the NBA organizing committee, so that the Cavaliers management can only hold a meeting again.

In the end, Russia took over by putting Mesif in the Development League, which was enough to cope with the NBA's brain-dead salary system, and the Cavaliers escaped millions of dollars in fines.

On August 5, Huang Xiang officially signed a contract with the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers signed a three-year $14 million contract with Huang Xiang, which was more than one million dollars higher than James that year.

According to the contract, Huang Xiang received 4.2 million in the first year, 4.7 million in the second year, and 5.1 million in the third year.

After getting the first year's salary, Huang Xiang first spent $2 million to buy a villa in Cleveland, although this villa is much worse than O'Neal's, but for Huang Xiang, it is enough.

With his own home, Huang Xiang happily took Iverson and the others home, and this night, sleepless.

(Ah, hehe, the combination of Warcraft and Huang Xiang, look forward to it.) ）
