Chapter 374, Xinsai Trading
After Paul confirmed what he was thinking, he didn't tweet goodbye, he had already posted it when he was going to the Lakers, although this time he was going to the Clippers, but they were all in Los Angeles, right!
And Huang Yu's side is even simpler, the calf is originally excessive! He himself understands that he will not take root in the calf, so there is no need to talk about the sadness of parting! Completely immersed in training, trying to improve his level, after all, even if he wants to make trouble in Clippers Sterling, Huang Yu can't waste his foundation by himself!
After the end of the NBA suspension, some players who went to Europe to make money have reached a peaceful breakup with the current team, and they are all on the way back to the United States, but some of those who choose to participate in the CBA are pitted, because the Basketball Association has issued relevant regulations, they cannot end their contracts with the CBA in the middle of the season and return to the United States to participate in the NBA!
For example, Wilson Chandler in the Nuggets! Last season, he averaged 15.3 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, and he made a big splash in the CBA! Played in 32 games, including 29 starts, and averaged 26.6 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.
There is also the nerve knife JR Smith, at the end of the contract with the Nuggets, listened to the advice of the agent, and did not rush to contact other teams, sure enough, the NBA stopped JR secretly congratulated his decision, so he went to the CBA to make money! The debut of 30+10+10 was also very successful, but because of the temper of him and his family, although he became a CBA super foreign aid, the impression of Chinese fans was not good.
Aaron Brooks, a little black bean familiar to Chinese fans, also gained a lot of popularity in China by virtue of being teammates in the Rockets and Giants, so he also went to the CBA after the NBA was suspended, although he could not return to the United States to participate in the new season of the NBA, but it actually had no impact, because he was traded to the Suns by the Rockets, and he did not renew his contract after the end of his contract, and he went to other teams for a trial just after recovering from injury, and he may not be able to get a good contract, so he does not suffer a loss to play in the CBA for a year!
----------
Although Yi * Lian also returned to the CBA, but he is not in the rules of the Basketball Association, he can return to the NBA at any time with his parent team Hongyuan to end the contract, but people are unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth, just a few days ago in the game Yi * Lian suffered a knee injury, although it is not serious, but it also casts a shadow on its NBA prospects, if it is a little healthier, maybe there will be something to do this season.
It can be said that the trade of Huang Yu and Paul directly ignited the trading frenzy of the new NBA season! The Pistons renewed the contract of Prince Prince Prince at a cabbage price of 4 years and 27 million, the 31-year-old veteran will return to the Pistons, because of the age, it is estimated that this general contract will be the last of his career, as for whether he can live in the old Motor City, no one can assert lightly, after all, it is not without a veteran who should be thrown off.
Not long after the renewal of the little prince, Hamilton, who had helped the Pistons overturn the mask of the Zijin Dynasty, was directly bought out by the Pistons, instead of using the amnesty in the new labor contract, which shows that the Pistons' patience with the big contract under the mask has reached the extreme, and the contract with the Pistons under the mask is only 2 years, with a total salary of about 21 million, as for how much money will be given for the buyout, it is unknown.
Davis, the big baby who performed well last season, although he received a contract extension promise from the Celtics, but their promise cannot be fully trusted! This is not to pursue big-name stars to join, they signed Davis first and then traded to Magic, and the trade object is Buss of Magic! The two are about the same in terms of numbers, but Buss is obviously a lot cheaper than renewing Davis's contract.
In terms of veterans, Maddy also made choices from teams such as the Bulls, and joined the Hawks with a base salary to make up for the sixth-man position after Crawford's departure, but if the competition for the starter is estimated to be useless, a Maddie who is in 50% condition can compete to be a starter in the first round of any playoffs, but as far as the current Maddie is concerned, it is the most important thing to stabilize his bench position.
And Yao Mai's former teammate, the giant's super center substitute Hai Ye, also made a decision to leave Houston for many years to go to the Kings, not that Hai Ye is too demanding, mainly because the Rockets are only willing to give a base salary contract of 2.5 million a year, although Hai Ye is not a strong person, but it is still okay to play the 2-3 year contract as a substitute, but the Rocket! You know, it's very calculating, in case you don't perform well next year! So it was only given for one year, which also made Hai Ye disheartened and refused directly, and went to the king to get a 4-year contract of 21.3 million, which is honestly not much more than the rocket!
----------
Just when the Rockets lost their center bench, New York won championship-level center Tyson Chandler! In order to get a big contract, he said in an interview that he would not sign first and then change to the Knicks, mainly because of the new collective bargaining agreement, Cuban only gave him a 2-year contract, and a defensive center like him needs a long and moderately priced big contract, so the Knicks' 4-year 58 million is very consistent.
However, Chandler went to the Knicks, and immediately made the Knicks' total salary exceed the standard, so the Knicks decided to pardon Billups, and even Turiaf! After all, a team does not need two players of the same type on the field, and the defensive Turiaf naturally has to leave, so as to make up for a player with offensive means in the power forward position.
Marcus Thornton, who performed well with Evans last season, was offered a five-year, $40 million contract, which would mean he would be one of the Kings' main attackers in the new season.
And the Heat, who are only one step away from the championship in the last game, they have no problems in the main framework at all, the difference is only the addition of some role players, and the good Chalmers contract has been renewed in advance, with a low contract of 12 million for 3 years, it is estimated that the god stick will be happy, and the third year is still a team option, and it is completely possible to sign first and then replace Chalmers to bring new blood to the Heat to maintain the attack power of the Heat Big Three.
Although the price is relatively low, Chalmers's main point guard position is relatively stable, even in the case of multiple team offers, Chalmers still chooses to renew the Heat, which is a smarter choice, he also wants to be the first person to get the championship ring in 08 like Huang Yu, as for the big contract, with the championship ring will naturally not be less! But there aren't that many chances of getting a ring.
James Jones, who previously announced his contract, also successfully reached a three-year contract with the Heat, as a three-point player, although he only averaged 6 points per game, but in fact his role was in the playoffs, and last season in the Eastern Conference finals and the Celtics game, James Jones proved himself.
In addition, defensive expert Sean Battier also ended his contract with the Grizzlies and joined the Heat to fill the bench vacancy at the No. 3 position, with James at the small forward position, but they still lack an excellent No. 3 bench replacement, and they will further improve bench depth at this position after Battier's arrival.
Battier has been known for his excellent defensive prowess throughout his NBA career, and his gummy defense has made many of the league's perimeter stars miserable. At the same time, although Battier's offensive skills are not comprehensive, but the ability to shoot accurate three-point shots is also very important for the Heat, because the Heat currently has Wade and James, two breakthrough superstars, it will inevitably trigger the opponent's bag defense, and Battier's open three-point shot is particularly important at this time.
After Battier joined, the Heat had no intention of having the best outside defensive configuration in the entire NBA league, Wade, Battier and James are all defensive elites at various positions, and if the Heat put Wade in the open position and put Battier and James in the second and third positions, then the appearance of these three together will cause considerable defensive pressure on the opponent's perimeter.
The Heat's goal for the new season is clearly to win a championship, and Battier's presence has allowed them to improve their roster, and this operation is also in preparation for another injury attack for Mike Miller.
At the same time, the Heat also strengthened the center position, and signed a one-year non-guaranteed contract with Eddie Curry, in the past three seasons, due to physical and injury reasons, Curry only played a total of 10 games, in fact, after joining the Knicks, he won a big contract after the 06-07 season, but in the second year, he began to slack off due to injuries and his own reasons, and his weight soared significantly, and he was one of the Knicks' tens of millions of water cooler guardians at that time! The other one is Marbury.
But before signing with the Heat, Curry had already lost about 70 pounds this offseason, which also made the Heat management see Curry's determination, so they finally decided to sign him.
In fact, the main thing is that the coolie defense skills are still there, and together with the Big Three, he can also fight for the championship.
----------
Last season, because of Warcraft's personal drama and the Magic transaction was not in place, it led to an early exit, but this season Magic still did not make any big moves, signing dunk king Richardson, but at this time Warcraft was very fierce, he hoped that he would be traded, mainly because someone really hooked up! After the Lakers were rejected for trading Paul, they began to tease Warcraft again, but the Magic obviously didn't like letting Warcraft leave, after all, he is now the symbol of Orlando, and even if he wants to trade, at least it won't be this season, and the operation time is too short to exchange Warcraft for the value it should have.
At the same time, the Magic also gave up Arenas without any reinforcement, mainly because now the Magic is suffering from internal and external troubles, and he really can't afford to toss, and although Arenas's temper has been reined in, his state is getting worse and worse, and his average of 8 points per game is completely inconsistent with his big contract, so he was pardoned by the Magic!
The Hornets have entered the rebuilding stage after Paul left, after all, the summer trade in 2011 was very hasty, and there were few big names, which also made West a big name in the transfer market after Paul, the Hornets initially wanted to trade before and after, and West also agreed, but the few Bin who chased West had no good bargaining chips, and the Celtics tried to use Jermaine O'Neal to rob West, but the Hornets were under the custody of the league, and this robbery transaction was destined to be unsuccessful.
In the end, David West joined the Pacers with an annual salary of 2 years and 20 million, and neither the coveted team nor the Hornets reaped the benefits.
Before the start of the first game of the new season, the Raptors made a final move, signing three players at once, including free agent Rassell Butler, free agent center Aaron Gray and 36-year-old Anthony Carter.

Although Huang Yu was very reluctant, he and Bill Duffy went to the Clippers for a physical examination, and at the same time saw Paul who came for a physical examination on the same day!
Paul joined the Clippers is more gratified by the management, after all, they took over Huang Yu, the troublemaker, and Sterling is also more satisfied, after all, the league's compensation has arrived, if it weren't for Paul, who accepted the thorn, don't look at Sterling's ten white * supremacy, but if it can create benefits for him, he can bear it!
So on the first day of the signing ceremony, they called to inform them of the physical examination, and Paul's treatment was obviously several times higher than that of Huang Yu, and he was accompanied by the management, and even Sterling personally received Paul before! But Huang Yu didn't have such a good treatment, he wandered around the building by himself the whole time, if it wasn't for the identity card, it is estimated that he would have been kicked out by the security guards!
As for Sterling, it's not that he doesn't want to show up, mock Huang Yu, but he doesn't dare! First, the president warned him not to make trouble, I gave you people to let you improve the strength of the team, not to show your superiority! And Huang Yu, don't provoke it, your own ass is not clean, you really provoke and do things, you must be the first to be unlucky!
There is a reason for Mr. President's warning, after all, since Huang Yu dares to agree to go to the Clippers, he must have Sterling's handle in his hand, otherwise he will go to the Clippers to find abuse, this TM is not those slaps in the face of Huaxia!
----------
Sterling naturally didn't dare to provoke the president, although this thing used to provoke the president for fun, and when he was the first bird to fight for the interests of the team owners, but now that the president has his pigtails in his hand, he doesn't dare to make trouble easily, once that thing is released, it is likely that he will be forced to shoot the team, although Sterling has money, but now it is the team that can give him fun.
The business is stable, and the elderly Sterling is not very aggressive, it is good to make sure that his territory is not eroded, and his family is not all according to him.
Although Huang Yu is not treated by Sterling, the management of those teams receives Huang Yu step by step, does not flatter or exclude, and does his best to remain neutral!
Paul and Huang Yu's physical examinations were carried out at the same time, which was also requested by Paul, and he wanted to have a good chat with his new partner, after all, everyone's purpose has always been!
Huang Yu naturally saw Paul's thoughts, so the two of them made a little contact in the locker room, but they didn't talk too much, after all, this place is not very safe! So the two discussed having a meal together after the physical examination!
But Huang Yu didn't know where to go, just Kobe called Huang Yu, so Huang Yu decided to ask Kobe! When Kobe Bryant knew that Huang Yu and Paul were undergoing a physical examination, although they failed to become teammates with Paul, they could not be enemies, so they invited Paul to his house for dinner, of course, Huang Yu was the one by the way! Who let Huang Yu often go to eat when he was in the Lakers!
