Chapter 401 Five, the new season is approaching
Of course, there are also some media eyeballs, using the title of "speculator", listing the Lakers' perennial robbery experience, not counting this time, Pau Gasol's biggest robbery, and after winning two championships, this robbery has become a classic case.
The media have thought that the Lakers are making a lot of money, of course, the premise is that Warcraft signs first and then trades, but the details of the deal are not revealed, so Kupchak can only squat in his office and smile bitterly, he can hide it for a while, Howard's contract is only one season, and he is unsure whether to renew his contract with Bynum, McRoberts, Aynga 2015 second-round pick and 2017 first-round pick (all protected) in exchange, Whether it's worth it or not depends on the Lakers' record in the 2012-2013 season.
If you enter the playoffs at worst, you have to reach the Western Conference finals, and Warcraft can renew the contract, so that the Lakers' deal is perfect, but if Warcraft chooses not to renew the contract, then it can only settle for the second, and use the way of signing first and then trading out, striving not to lose....
But how can it be so simple to enter the Western Conference finals, the old strong teams Spurs, Mavericks, the new strong teams Clippers and Grizzlies and the young Thunder, it is difficult for the Lakers to fight in these strong teams, and what level they can play depends entirely on whether the new F4 composed of the team can succeed.
In the offseason trade, in addition to the Clippers' big moves, the rest is more perfect for the Lakers, of course, they are unable to bring in players, and after renewing Evan Banks, they also announced the early closure of the deal.
Jimmy Lin, who shone in New York last season, officially confirmed that the New York Knicks will not match the Rockets' offer for Jeremy Lin's three-year, $25.1 million contract. This also means that Jeremy Lin will become a member of the Houston Rockets in the new season, Morey's poison contract Knicks are not willing to follow up at all, Jeremy Lin's three-year contract Huang Yu remembers clearly, if it is not for the Lakers to take over, then Jeremy Lin's fate can only be cut by the Rockets.
If it is a normal progressive contract, New York has paid the luxury tax for so many years, and it is not bad at all for this 20 million, the bad thing is that the poison contract of the rocket, and Jeremy Lin's new agent, the contract given by the rocket is a three-year contract of 25.1 million US dollars, and the special thing about this contract is that the contract is worth 5 million US dollars in the first year, 5.225 million US dollars in the second year, and 14.9 million US dollars in the third year.
If the Knicks choose to keep Jeremy Lin, they will pay a hefty luxury tax in the future. First of all, since the 2013-14 season, the luxury tax penalty has become more severe, no longer the current 1 penalty 1, but a double penalty, and secondly, in the 2014-15 season, the total salary of the Knicks' three major stars Anthony, Smalls and Chandler is as high as 62.4 million US dollars, plus Jeremy Lin's 14.9 million US dollar contract, the total salary can be imagined. It is reported that if Jeremy Lin were to keep New York in the 2014-15 season, the luxury tax he would pay for Howe would be as high as $28 million, which is equivalent to the value of Jeremy Lin's final year contract of $43 million.
Although Jeremy Lin created "Lin Crazy" in New York, the Knicks suffered injuries to their main players, and Jeremy Lin seized the opportunity to write his own crazy season. During Jeremy Lin's 8-1 record with the Knicks, he averaged 25 points, 3.8 rebounds and 9 assists per game, shooting 50.9% from the field.
But in the end, New York is still unwilling to take a huge risk to keep Jeremy Lin, but New York has also been prepared, after the Knicks reached a trade agreement with the Trail Blazers, re-introduced Raymond Felton, and signed veteran Jason Kidd, which can be said to temporarily fill the vacancy of Jeremy Lin. On the other hand, the Houston Rockets have been chasing Howard this summer, and many players have been cleared, but the Rockets' attraction is not as good as Los Angeles.
But the real reason is that Howard told Huang Yu personally, and the original words were like this: "That sand pen called Morey has to be signed first and then replaced, and it is only 110 million in 5 years, what kind of international joke ......"
chattered a lot with Huang Yu, but Huang Yu simply told him, "If you are really dealing with Morey or the Rockets, you must add a transaction margin to the contract, which will make you a lot of money, otherwise you will lose to your grandmother's family!" β
The Rockets failed to get him Howard, but the trade still had to be made, and now the team needed a cornerstone, so the Thunder and Rockets trade appeared, and the Rockets used their usual routine to complete the deal of doing big things with little money.
After the Thunder lost in the playoffs and became the runner-up, the Thunder began to renew the contracts of important players, and the Thunder have offered Harden a four-year contract worth a total of $52 million, but Harden refused.
What Harden needs is a four-year, $60 million contract. If Oklahoma City offers Harden such a contract, then the Thunder's salary space will definitely soar, and now that the Thunder have two players on top contracts, giving Harden such a share would put them at a disadvantage.
After Harden turned down the Thunder's contract, Thunder general manager Sam Plesty immediately responded, and he immediately negotiated with the Rockets and finally agreed. That's how Harden was traded to the Rockets. To get Harden, the Rockets sent their team's scorer Kevin Martin, plus Lamb and three future 2013 draft picks (two first-round picks from the Raptors and Mavericks, and one second-round pick from the Bobcats)
The contradiction between Harden and the Thunder is not only that the contract has not been negotiated, but there are also some gossip, but they are all unconfirmed, and the most ruthless thing is that the Heat lived to win the Thunder at home in the finals, and the total score was rewritten to 2-1 on the day that some media reported that Harden was seen in a nightclub, and he played until late at night before leaving, and was accompanied by a woman.
Huang Yu doesn't know if this information is true or not, but before Huang Yu didn't cross, he watched a few games of the Rockets in the 2015-2016 season, when Harkishi was in love with Khloe Ka Shan, although Harden played 82 games in the regular season this season, played a league-high 3,125 minutes in total, and averaged 29 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game.
However, he finished ninth in the final MVP vote, behind Draymond Green and Damian Lillard, and not only that, but he didn't even make the All-Defensive Team three teams β the equivalent of those who set the bar for NBA superstars saying "no" to him.
But just look at the state of the Rockets at the time: 41-41 barely ranked eighth in the West, was eliminated 1-4 in the first round, Harden and Howard had a stiff relationship, and the locker room was a mess. The MVP is awarded to the leader who can lead the team to win, and Harden's leadership ability has never been so denied and questioned.
----------
Leaving aside the situation on the court and in the locker room, off the court, Harden's reputation as the "little prince of nightclubs" has become more and more famous, as a regular nightclub in the Houston area, and even a strip club "retired" his jersey number to commemorate the contribution of the big financier to their performance, but what makes him most tired is not these peach news, but his love affair with Khloe Kardashian.
However, this relationship is also full of ups and downs, wonderful, and a screenwriter in Huaxia can definitely change it into a bitter love drama to see who can say that he plagiarized.
The general direction of the plot is that there is a double harvest in career and love, but his girlfriend's ex-husband has an accident, and his girlfriend is running around to take care of him, and his girlfriend is not tired at all to show affection everywhere, and the lives of the two people are posted on the Internet, constantly winning the attention of others, and then his girlfriend's former health is restored, and he can't pay attention to the lower half of his body being accused of cheating, and he has to think about whether his girlfriend will get back together with his ex-boyfriend in his busy work...... With this framework, it's perfectly fine to pull 20 sets.
In fact, what Harden hates the most is those paparazzi, if it weren't for their own lives, they might be much more low-key, and their pressure would be reduced a lot, but Hakishi obviously forgot that if you have such a girlfriend, you are destined to not lack attention, who makes the family a celebrity..... Well, changing the gender counts.
Belch! ~The topic is far away... Although the Thunder gained Martin, a man who averaged 17.1 points per game and was still injured, but looking at the data is really deadly, if you haven't paid attention to it, Martin is indeed averaging 17 points per game, but the score is up and down, and Harden is very stable, and there are still 4.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game! Martin only has 2.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists, which is too much worse, and Martin needs to average 15 shots per game, while Harden only needs 10, and Harden's ability to make fouls is better than Martin.
However, Harden belongs to the rising period and still needs a lot of game improvement, and Martin is now in his prime, but in the final analysis, this deal Rockets earned, after all, a rising Harden and a gradually declining Martin can be seen by anyone.
----------
Although the offseason trade is slowly coming to an end as time passes, Paul still hasn't been informed that he has been traded!
In fact, it's not that the management doesn't want to trade, it's just that the chips have never been symmetrical, of course, they also want Paul to put pressure on the Clippers, but Paul is not stupid, and now the Clippers are openly saying that they want to trade themselves, why make the relationship so stiff, if they are traded, it's okay, if they don't, can they still mix in the locker room?
It's impossible for the Clippers to give up Paul, if you can't stay in the locker room and your playing time is being disrupted, then your value will really be a lot lower, so Paul looks at his nose and nose and his heart is like water, no matter how you fool the outside world, just don't be fooled, concentrate on your own training, as for the agent, as long as you are not brainless, you will not help those people to put pressure on Paul.
"Boss, do they have a suitable trading plan?"
Mr. Clippers' general manager asked cautiously on the phone.
"Cut! Will Aldridge think about using Lillard as a rookie? When we're charity! Rebuff! β
Huang Yu's face darkened when he looked at the Trail Blazers' trade plan, and if Aldridge was the content of the trade, then before asking the Trail Blazers to make up one or two draft picks, Huang Yu nodded and asked the Clippers manager to ask Paul what he meant about Portland.
But it would be naΓ―ve to use Lilladega and Batum to trade Paul for a few second-round picks! While Batum is playing well, the Clippers have enough projection small forward, Aldridge is not bad enough to start him as a power forward, and Scola and Butler are off the bench.
----------
After some fringe players were cut or traded for cash, the Clippers soon announced the Clippers roster for the 2012-2013 season.
Center: Mark Gasol, Kenyon Martin
Power forward: Luis Scola Caron Butler
Small forward: Huang Yu, Grant Hilmat, Barnes
Shooting guard: Mo Williams West (needless to say, know who) Jamal Crawford
Point Guard: Chris Paul, Kirk Hinrich, Jerry Bayless
Then the Clippers' manager announced that the Clippers transfer market was closed, and Paul was not traded by the Clippers! It's also weird, the Clippers didn't confirm the trade for Paul after the draft, and those teams who want to bet on the draft won't trade the draft pick, and the lower Huang Yu can't look down on it, so I'm waiting for a year to see if I can get a few in 2013!
