In the league, rookies began to sign one after another.

The three rookies selected by the Kings in this year's draft also came to Sacramento, and after a routine physical examination, they signed with the Kings one after another.

Among them, the two players in the first round signed a four-year contract of 2+2, while Hoodan Blair signed a short-term contract of 1+1 in the second round.

The latter + are all team options.

On July 9, Rasheed Wallace signed with defending champion Celtics, and Boston increased the depth of their roster with the slogan of the "Big Four".

On the same day, the Lakers signed Ariza to a contract extension with a total value of $35 million over five years.

The Lakers also signed guard Shannon Brown to a two-year, $4.2 million contract extension.

Champion Lang Griffin signed with the Clippers, Tabit signed with the Grizzlies, and Harden signed with the Thunder at the same time.

At this time, the Mavericks, who lost Kidd, suddenly made a big trade move.

The Mavericks completed a three-way trade with the Raptors and Grizzlies.

The Raptors sent Sean Marion, Chris Hampree, Nathan Jarvey and some cash to the Mavericks, while also sending the Grizzlies a future second-round pick to the Mavericks for Devin George and Anthony Wright. The Mavericks also gave veteran Stackhouse and some cash to the Grizzlies, who in turn traded Buckner for the Mavericks.

The Eastern Cavaliers also made moves here, renewing the big man Vallejo with a big contract of 6 years and 50 million US dollars.

The trading market is chaotic and noisy, and new trading requests appear in front of Wang Mingming every moment, and Wang Mingming's workload is much larger than before, so that he can't complete his daily tasks every day, and most of them are opening low-level treasure chests.

........

Jove's interview for assistant coach is almost complete.

Kenny Knight, who served as interim head coach last season, will continue as an assistant coach for the Grizzlies.

At the same time, Joe reached an agreement with Pistons coach Michael Curry, who has been fired, and Michael Curry will serve as an assistant coach for the Kings next season.

The name of the other assistant coach is Mike Dunlap.

Michael Curry has not been a player to coach for a few years, and after a failed season with the Pistons last season, Michael Curry felt that he was still lacking in ability, and continued to improve his coaching level and tactical literacy.

Wang will recruit assistant coaches tomorrow, and Michael Curry will come for an interview without hesitation.

Michael Curry has the same mindset as Dave last year and wants to learn something from Wang's side tomorrow.

He wasn't alone in embracing Michael Curry's mentality, and soon, Mavericks assistant coach Dwayne Casey also jumped into Wang's arms and became the team's fourth assistant coach.

Wang holds a coaching staff meeting tomorrow and then arranges for Michael Curry to lead the rookies in summer league.

Michael Curry gladly accepted.

Dwayne Casey was asked to go on a business trip by Wang tomorrow on his second day of employment.

"Where to go?"

Casey didn't know the purpose of the trip, and when he rushed to the airport with his luggage, Wang was already waiting for him at the airport tomorrow, and there were several administrative staff members traveling at the same time.

"Take a trip to Louisiana."

"Is it about the Tyson Chandler deal?"

Dwayne Casey instantly guessed Wang's movements, which made Wang Mingming slightly surprised, the assistant coach from the Mavericks was much more sensitive than he imagined.

Wang Ming nodded: "Yes, but this trade is very difficult, because the Hornets want to trade Chandler, who is plagued by injuries, in order to find help for Paul, and they want to get an All-Star level interior player." ”

"The Hornets are also daring to speak, and Tyson Chandler is good, but not to the point of being an All-Star."

"Let's try it, I'm going to meet with the general manager of the Hornets and see if the deal can be done."

The two then flew to New Orleans, Louisiana, to negotiate a trade.

Unfortunately, the negotiations ultimately fell through, and the Kings' two potential interior players, the Hornets were not very interested, and when the Bobcats stumbled in and were interested in trading Emeka Okafor, a young star who averaged 13.2 points and 10.1 rebounds per game last season, the Kings knew they had no chance at all.

Just as King was about to give up tomorrow and leave New Orleans, things took a turn for the worse.

As the team's owner, Michael Jordan, the basketball god, personally called Wang Tomorrow to discuss a three-way deal for Tyson Chandler, Okafor and others.

........

Millsap became a favorite in the free market.

Following the Kings offer, there were offers from New York, Miami, Chicago and other cities, and in the West, mainly the Houston Rockets and the Utah Jazz, they launched a fierce pursuit of Millsap.

Under the multiple considerations of the interests of the ball market, Millsap, who had already won the championship, finally changed his mind to join his mentor in the continuous persuasion of his agent.

Wang called Millsap tomorrow and asked him to boldly pursue his own things, and everyone's life path should be written by themselves.

Eventually, Millsap chose to join the Houston Rockets.

In order to get Millsap, the Rockets had another chain reaction, first the centerpiece, Tracy McGrady, who had spent his prosperous years with the Rockets, was traded by the Rockets.

This is the league's biggest deal news of July.

The 32-year-old Maddie was traded to the New York Knicks, who received Maddy's $20 million contract that expires next year in preparation for a 2010 free agency frenzy.

In order to get Maddy, the Knicks paid young talent Wilson Chandler, last year's high pick Rookie and later season reimbursement Gallinari, veteran Jarred Jeff Reis, and other people, and got a multimillion-dollar trade exception.

Using this special case, the Rockets offered Paul Millsap a five-year, $70 million near-max contract.

Next season, the Rockets will form an All-Star interior combination of Yao Ming + Paul Millsap, and Wilson Chandler, Gallinari and others will fill the gap on the wing where Artest left, and there are also Brooks, Sean Battier and other giants on the outside.

With Maddie's being traded, the Rocket's MM combination came to an end, and the new MM combination slowly replaced the nostalgia for Maddie.

It's just that 35 seconds and 13 minutes in the depths of my memory, 22 consecutive wins, will become an eternal classic.

At this time, Wang will trade again tomorrow on behalf of the Kings.

Closed a small deal with the Detroit Pistons.

The Detroit Pistons sent Aaron Afflalo to get the Kings a second-round pick next year.

The Pistons are also working hard for next year's trade market, constantly releasing their salary space, and Afflalo has played two years with the Pistons, basically belonging to the image of a diligent bench.

Last season, Afflaro averaged 4.9 points per game, and except for his outside shooting, he was very mediocre.

It was a small deal that couldn't compare to Millsap's signing, and it was far less sensational than Maddie being traded to New York.
