Chapter 928 [In one sentence, directly break up]
Matt Smith has just become the new owner of the Warriors, and he is also considering whether to keep Kobe Bryant and what kind of contract to use to keep Kobe.
He won't consult Guo Xu about this kind of thing, the owner of one team, if he has a problem, he will consult the core players of another team, if it is exposed, they will have to be investigated by the league.
Matt is self-aware, he knows that he is a fan, he doesn't know much about basketball, and he plans to give the work to his people to do, to the people who know the ball to do. Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people.
The Warriors and Nets started negotiations, and it didn't go well.
Because Kobe Bryant not only wants the maximum salary, but also wants to sign first and then change the maximum salary of the largest contract, and he doesn't want the Nets to pay too many chips, otherwise it will be difficult to produce results.
In the Nets manager's plan, the only high-paid player they are willing to send is David Lee, who is strong on offense and weak on defense, but the Warriors already have Brand, is it sick to trade a short power forward?
The Warriors want the Nets at least two future first-round picks and don't like players. The Nets are determined not to send draft picks, fearing that a poor future record will cheapen the Warriors.
In addition, the managers of both teams feel that Kobe Bryant is not worth the big contract with the highest salary, and when Garnett signed a big contract, the Timberwolves entered the playoffs, and Kobe Bryant has not entered the playoffs for two years, and he wants to get the NBA's biggest contract.
In other words, it is not that the negotiations are not going well, but that they are completely unable to negotiate......
At the end of August, the men's World Men's Basketball Championship kicked off in Turkey.
Almost all of the U.S. players are young players, with only Chandler, Billups, and Odom among the veterans. The biggest star on the team is Durant, who won the scoring title last season, and he is only a third-year player, and only a few have been selected as an All-Star.
Basketball Association President Jerry Colangelo was not confident of winning the championship and felt that the lineup was too shabby. Online fans and basketball experts are also generally bearish on the prospects of the World Championships, believing that the Mengjiu team's lineup is only B-level.
Only Guo Xu was interviewed by reporters after refusing the invitation of the Mengjiu team, saying that it was good to see that this team easily won the championship, on the grounds that the lineup was very reasonable, and he also praised Coach K a few words.
The result is the same as Guo Xu's "prediction", with young players as the leading stars, the U.S. team won all eight games and easily won the World Championships.
The reason why the Dream Nine team won the game is very simple, they are very fast, they have an advantage in their individual ability to rush up, several defenders break through sharply, and other national teams can't defend one-on-one.
Guo Xu, who didn't go to the game, was also on the news, and many fans on the Internet praised him for his good vision.
As the season approaches, most of the players in the free market have found their next home.
There were unexpected benefits, such as someone like Joe Johnson who was supposed to take a pay cut, because James didn't come to sign a bigger contract.
There are also people who are unpopular in the free market and can only be forced to sign a base salary contract and compete for a championship in the final years of their careers, such as Mike Bibby, who chose to join the Cavaliers.
The closest team in the league to a runner-up finish looks like the Cavaliers, and the Suns still have a spot, but Bibby is not in the Suns' list, and the team already has three point guards.
Bibi also doesn't want to be teammates with Guo Xu, he often dreams of Guo Xu in nightmares, and if he is a teammate, he will have to see each other every day.
At the beginning of September, there were several more big deals.
The Celtics changed the most, and the Big Three broke up directly.
The Nets and Warriors have been unable to finalize Kobe's sign-and-trade, and the Nets manager has instead chased Paul Pierce and taken him on a lower four-year, 55 million contract. Pierce has no FMVP depreciation, and his annual salary is only in the early tens of millions, which is a good deal. Angie's offer to Pierce is even lower than that, only 48 million for 4 years.
After Pierce joined the Nets, Kobe Bryant's plan to get a big contract and sign and then trade was completely frustrated, and the Warriors offered him a three-year, $66 million contract, and Kobe Bryant, who had no better option, took a salary cut to renew his contract. At least the Warriors have a few potential newcomers, and their record should improve with the addition of interior reinforcements in the new season.
32 years old, not in the playoffs for two years, and led the team to the second round of the playoffs at most after 2004, these data are destined to Kobe Bryant can't get the top salary, and the Warriors' contract is already very generous.
Each team has chosen to give young players high salaries and long-term contracts, and their form is guaranteed. Who knows what Kobe Bryant's status was in 2013?
Ray Allen joined the Bulls for 2 years and 20 million, and Angie gave him an insulting offer of 12 million for 2 years.
If the Celtics are re-signed with a salary cut, does Ray Allen still deserve to be called the Big Three? He can't even match the full middle class players, and the age is as short as if Angie thinks he will definitely be scrapped next season.
Ray Allen and Pierce are both completely free people, and they just left, so there is no need to sign first and then exchange. Both of them also know Anji's personality, and if they don't get applause, eighty percent of them will be traded as chips in the future.
The Green Army didn't get any benefit either, and most of the players knew that Boston had an inhuman manager who had free up salary space but no big names wanted to join.
The Bulls' No. 2 position is the weakest, the player's big contract has basically expired, last season let go of Ben Gordon for nothing, this season sent Hinrich to the Wizards, and Rose is a rookie contract, they have plenty of salary space.
In addition, the Bulls also signed two interior players, 2008 second-round rookie Omir Asik and veteran Kurt Thomas.
The outside Bulls signed Keith Bogans to Ray Allen as a substitute and completed a major roster change.
Ray Allen and Rose are more compatible, Rose's specialty is to break through with the ball and be good at blocking and dismantling, while Ray Allen is mainly playing without the ball and complementing each other's styles.
The Bulls also have Ty Gibson, John Salmons, Jonny Flynn, Jason Thompson and others, and the overall strength is good.
No team was willing to offer Maddy a big contract, and he eventually joined the Hawks with a salary of 1 million and defected to Nash.
In the Eagles, Maddy can only play as a substitute, with Spanish players Rudy Fernandez and Jamal Crawford in the team, Maddy is on the bench in the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, which is the strongest team interested in him.
The Rockets didn't make a big move, they didn't have salary space, and after renewing Skorra's contract, the Rockets signed rookie Patrick Patterson and veteran interior Brad Miller for the base salary.
The Timberwolves renewed the contract of small forward Rudy Gay with a high salary for 5 years and 75 million. It's a reluctant signing, the Timberwolves have salary space, but no big-name stars are willing to join, and the fallen Josh Howard can't be traded yet.
Guy is a must to re-sign Gay, and the Timberwolves have to make sure they have players on the team with a good style of play to attract fans to the home court.
After the Celtics left two stars, the middle class poached Grizzlies small forward Mike Miller.
The Grizzlies poached the Green Army's blue-collar point guard Tony Allen for 10 million in three years and poached each other. The Grizzlies also signed former Suns forward James Jones with a base salary.
Jones, of course, can't fill Miller's void, he's going to catch and shoot.
The Spurs have improved their strength by signing Richard Jefferson to a cheap contract, signing Brazilian player Thiago Split, and signing Gary Neal, a two-way guard who entered the NBA out of the draft. In addition to Duncan, the inside line finally has a more reliable big man.
In the Brazilian national team, Split played the starter, and Vallejo was on the bench, which shows his strength.
There are also some players who are more miserable, Rasheed Wallace, Iverson has no ball to play, and Delonti West has also been cut by the Cavaliers.
The difference is that the first two are difficult to find a job again, and West, who is known as the "Emperor", joined the Knicks with a base salary. The Knicks poached James out of love and hate, and were ready to sign West to disgust him, and the two teams are likely to meet in the playoffs......
