Artest was in the Kings that year, and the city was full of turmoil, and he was finally sold to the Rockets by the King.

Artest's actions, no one can understand, now that his contract has expired, he has become a complete free agent, but he does not want to stay on the Rockets with two All-Star levels, but seeks to leave, but this choice is a little strange, just because the king will become the king tomorrow?

That's right, it's really because the king will become the king tomorrow.

At that time, Wang Ming was in the 76ers, and only with the combination of Iverson + a rookie, he became a strong team in the West and finally won the championship trophy.

Wang Mingming is known as one of the strongest coaches in the current roster and has extremely high popularity, and he has made a big deal to trade Chris Bosh, an All-Star power forward of the 03 golden generation for the Kings.

Artest knew that Wang would sign a two-year contract tomorrow, so what he said to the Kings was that he was ready to sign a 1+1 short-term contract with a player option next year.

Wang Tomorrow heard the news from Jof, and he was also very excited, and it seemed that the aura of "legendary coach" was really good.

He returned to Kidd's villa meeting room.

Kidd looked at Wang Ming curiously.

I saw Wang Tomorrow smile, put his phone on the table, and said lightly: "Jason, it's not that I'm bragging, it's true that I'm going to lead the king to win the championship in one to two years, to be honest, I already have a preliminary team building model, and this time another All-Star level star took the initiative to defect." ”

"Who is it?"

Kidd was taken aback, he didn't expect Wang Mingming's appeal to be so strong, even in a small ball city like Sacramento, there are players who take the initiative to defect.

"The Beast - Ron Artest."

Wang Ming said word by word, staring at Kidd with burning eyes, "Jason, come over to the king, you are the cornerstone of the team that the king needs, and with your control, the king is a complete whole." ”

"Ron Artest!"

Kidd gasped, Artest had a better career with the Rockets last season, averaging 17.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

What's more critical is that after Artest entered the age of 30, he seemed to have matured a lot all of a sudden.

"Are you sure?" Kidd asked.

Kidd has never worked with such a strong outside defensive big gate player in his career, and he knows that Wang Tomorrow is the best at adjusting wing defenders, and he can't help but have a glimmer of anticipation, if he is paired with Artest, the outside defense will .......

"Sure."

Wang Tomorrow said solemnly, and then Wang Tomorrow persuaded again,

"Jason, you are in the Mavericks, you should have found that with the current lineup of the Mavericks, it is impossible to make achievements in the West, let alone defeat the Lakers, Celtics and other teams to win the championship, and the Mavericks' salary space is basically locked, and it is difficult to make a difference in the summer market."

Kidd fell silent, knowing that what the king said tomorrow was true.

Kidd and Wang Tomorrow have a friendship with the Nets, so there has always been a private number between the two, and this time Kidd took the initiative to contact, so that Wang Tomorrow saw the hope of bringing this big man into the team again, but Kidd was still hesitating.

Wang Mingming knows that Kidd can still have the strength, and with Kidd's current state, he will still be the top defender and playmaker in the league's No. 1 position in a year or two.

"You let me think about it, Coach, I'm in a pretty mess right now."

"I can guarantee that you're still the team's starting point guard for a year or two, and you have a contract that is not inferior to what the Mavericks offered you."

If the feelings are not successful, the king will throw out interests again tomorrow, a double temptation.

Kidd pondered for a long time, and discussed it with his team very cautiously.

In the end, Kidd agreed to Wang's request to sign tomorrow.

The two parties conducted further in-depth negotiations on the details of the contract.

........

Three days after the Pistons signed two big men, the Kings suddenly announced that they had signed two free agents.

One is Jason Kidd of the Mavericks, who threw himself into the arms of the Kings on a three-year, $25 million contract, and the other is Ron Artest, who returned to the Kings and signed a 1+1 short-term contract with the Kings for a total contract of $19 million.

The two signing messages came out, which immediately made Kings fans rejoice.

"The championship-level coach is just different, just after the trade market opened, there were two stars who defected, and they were placed on the previous Kings team, which is really unimaginable."

The Kings have signed these two and have formed the small triumvirate of Kidd + Artest + Bosh.

The media in Sacramento has not been arrogant enough to call the team a "Big Three" like this, but for Wang Mingming's ability, he is already admiring the five-body throw.

"It's amazing, he's like a superstar."

On this day, the Raptors also reached a signing, and after the trade to take Bosh, the Raptors completely corrected their Italian champion Bagjani.

Baggyani scored a career-high 15.4 points last year, shooting 45 percent from the field, 40.9 percent from three-point range and 83 percent from the free throw line.

Bhagyani signed a five-year, $50 million contract with the Raptors.

At this time, Los Angeles.

In the office of the Lakers, general manager Koop Check inevitably complained a little about Phil Jackson.

Previously, Koop-Cheek was ready to throw an olive branch to Rockets small forward Artest, but the Lakers were in the Finals and the team's morale was high, so there was no action.

Later in the draft, and Phil Jackson has been hoping that Koop Chek will re-sign Trevor Ariza.

Dubbed "Cobra" by Phil Jackson, the young Ariza is a true 3-and-D player with great defensive talent and projection.

And he is much more obedient than Artest, and is the favorite type of the team's coach.

As a result, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, they didn't have time to throw an olive branch to Artest, who had already signed with the Kings, fortunately it was only a short contract, and Artest still had a chance to become a free agent next year.

"Now that Ron has been signed, Trevor's signing needs to be hurried."

Kupchak thought for a moment, then flipped through the same gear for a player of Trevor's calibre for a multi-kill price.

smoked a cigarette and then called Trevor Ariza's agent.

At the same time, rookies in this year's draft began to sign with their own teams one after another.

The fastest is the Golden State Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors' trade with the Suns fell through, but to a certain extent, it had already broken Curry's heart again, and in order to maintain a good relationship with the high-pick shooter rookie, the Golden State Warriors immediately sent a contract.

Curry has high emotional intelligence, although he was unhappy at the time, but now he has reacted, and after signing with the Warriors, he immediately expressed his loyalty to the Warriors.

"Golden State is a great place to be, and I fell in love with it the first day I came."
