The NBA free agency market has only been open for a few days and there have been many big trades, the most shocking of which is that the Lakers formed "F4".

The Lakers signed Karl Malone and Gary Payton in quick succession, and O'Neal has been preparing for this since he was eliminated in the first round, and the three often partner at the All-Star Game, have each other's phone numbers, and have privately negotiated a partnership.

Two veterans chose the Lakers, one is the high exposure rate in the big city, and the other is that the Lakers have a championship background, and the previous three consecutive championships are too impressive. They thought that the Lakers couldn't win last year because the No. 1 and No. 4 positions were flawed, and the weaknesses were made up for after joining.

As soon as the trade was announced, O'Neal and Guo Xu were very proud when chatting, feeling that they could stabilize the Suns in the new season. And the two veterans are here to see his face, which proves that the Lakers are still his team.

Many media predicted that Kobe Bryant would jump out of his contract in the summer of 2004 in pursuit of a bigger salary cap, and O'Neal's plan was to lead the Lakers to a championship and then ask management for an early contract extension, otherwise he would jump out of the final year of his contract in 2005.

Guo Xu estimated that both of them wanted to force each other away, and the off-court contradictions of the "OK combination" had been made public last season.

Kobe Bryant's ambition does not allow him to continue to be a foil for others. As he grows stronger and O'Neal gets older, the unease within the Lakers will grow.

Seeing that Ao Fat was so happy, Guo Xu couldn't bear to pour cold water on him, if the two had to separate, Old Bass would definitely choose to keep the younger Kobe, even if O'Neal was still the first center in the league.

It is very difficult for the Lakers to win the championship, even if F4 can maintain physical fitness, they have to work hard. Malone is 40 years old, Payton is 35 years old, and last season's beautiful statistics were played by teammates who were poor and had the ball, and they had to reduce the number of shots when they got to the Lakers.

John Stockton, who just announced his retirement, has been circled, and the statues of the two Jazz Elders have been molded, but what about the Marlons?

The Bucks management is devastated, last year they sent Ray Allen, Kevin Ollie, Murray and a first-round pick in exchange for Payton and Mason, but Payton, who can attract fans, ran away after half a season, leaving only Mason, who has no basket and is good at dunking runner-up, and lost miserably.

In order to keep Payton, the Bucks management also sent low-salary and high-energy point guard Sam Cassel and center Elvin Johnson to the Timberwolves in exchange for guard Anthony Peeler and forward Joe Smith.

Because Peeler chose to jump out of the contract, this is almost like the Bucks giving the Timberwolves a star for nothing, and also helping the other party clean up Joe Smith's garbage contract, there is probably some insider trading between the two sides, but this time Wolves manager McHale was not caught.

Over the next two seasons, Kassel's annual salary was $3.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively, which is hard to imagine as a player who earned 19.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists last season.

Seeing that the strength of the Western team has improved significantly, the management of the Nets, who have reached the finals for two consecutive years, can't sit still. However, there aren't that many good players to choose from in the free market, and the Nets' interior weaknesses are too obvious to be strengthened.

The manager of the Nets was excited, and gave Alonzo Mourning, who did not play a game last season because of kidney disease, 22 million for 4 years, believing that he has recovered his health safely.

Do you believe what others say? The Nets have no place to throw away the money.

The Spurs, who are in dire need of reinforcements on the inside, can only choose between Olavokandi and Nesterovic, who signed the latter for six years and $42 million. The price is obviously high, but if they don't sign, Spurs can't defend their title next season. Nesterovic is at least in good shape and can defend on the inside and won't let the opponent do whatever he wants in the box.

The Spurs also signed Lakers veteran Robert Horry to bolster the No. 4 spot, and he has a lot of experience in the game and a good way to play inside the line.

Because Horry and Bowen's off-the-board moves are very powerful, Guo Xu thought about digging Horry to the sun, but gave up after thinking about it. There are too many potential newcomers on the Suns' interior, and the playing time is not easy to distribute, Haslem's defense is better than Horry's, he can grab the board with a single defense, and he has enough shots in the open position on the offensive end, so there is no need to pursue Horry's 35% three-point shooting, and he can't shoot one per game.

Horry can't run fast and can't run and shoot, and this year's second-round rookie James Jones can also shoot three-pointers and run much faster if he plays the No. 4 spot, which will also benefit the team in the future.

On the 17th, the Hawks, Timberwolves, Knicks and 76ers completed a four-team big trade.

Hawks forward Glenn Robinson went to the 76ers to get retired Timberwolves player Terrell Brandon.

The Knicks traded "Mad Man" Sprewell to the Timberwolves for the 76ers' Vanhorn.

The 76ers also sent second-round rookie Tyrese Hansen and a 2007 first-round pick to the Hawks, acquiring center Mark Jackson from the Wolves.

The 76ers and Timberwolves were profited from the trade, and both stars were traded because of locker room conflicts.

Iverson enthused: "I like big dogs, he's the kind of player who can score a lot of points and doesn't score more than me. It strengthens our forward line. ”

Garnett said: "Now that I've got Kassel and Sprewell, to hell with the first-round spell. ”

Then, the Timberwolves signed Olawokandi with a three-year, $16.2 million trade exception, and the lineup is too strong.

The Kings also received strong reinforcements and completed a three-way trade with the Pacers and Spurs.

The Spurs sent Danny Ferry to the Pacers, got forward Turkoglou from the Kings and swingman Ron Mersell from the Pacers. The Kings also sent interior Pollard to the Pacers, acquiring last season's All-Star interior Brad Miller.

The media commented that Weber can recuperate from his injury in the new season with peace of mind, and Miller can do Weber's job except for breaking through the allegiac.

The Spurs have also strengthened, Turkglou is an excellent forward, playing as a starter or as a substitute can help the team, and Ron's form has slipped very much, which is an addition.

The Pacers have lost Miller's strength on the inside, and O'Neal Jr. has to take on more tasks, but they can't help it, and the salary space is destined to make them unable to renew Miller's contract, so it is better to trade it early.

The Warriors' trade to the Mavericks came as a surprise of all, as the Warriors sent Danny Fortson, Chris Mills, Welsh and star Jamieson to the Mavericks in exchange for Eschmayer, Johnson, Puoper Jones, Rigardo and Van Exel.

Battier was dumbfounded. What's going on? The team boss is gone, how can the Warriors send warmth like this? Will Van Exel and I be the heart of the attack in the future?

The truth is that the team has not achieved results for several years in a row, and it has not been able to enter the playoffs, and the Warriors management is completely disappointed in Jamison, and they want to cultivate it by choosing a core to cultivate it, regardless of the results in the new season.

Old Nelson has become high-spirited, the Mavericks have Nowitzki, Nash, Finley, Jamison, and the opponents are trembling!

However, the Mavericks' lineup is unreasonable at first glance. The hidden danger of poor defense in the penalty area is not compensated, and the ball is completely insufficient to trade a striker. But old Nelson thinks that if he can win in this way, he has to rely on offense to kill the other party, and this old man is crazy.

After watching these horrific deals in July, President David Stern was a little unhappy, and the Lakers, Timberwolves, and Mavericks all put together a four-star huddle. He doesn't want his stars to be concentrated to that extent, and there are only a few teams left that can compete for the championship.

What does this leave for teams that have only one star? Is it a collective swing after the start of the game?

If they don't mess up, they won't see hope...... (https:)
