On the evening of July 3, the famous reporter OJ revealed that the Kings have reached a verbal agreement with free agent Al Harrington, and Al Harrington rejoined the arms of the "old coach" Wang Tomorrow with a two-year contract of $12 million, it is understood that the two-year contract is still signed in a 1+1 situation, and in the second year Harrington has the player option and has the opportunity to jump out and continue to test the free market.

This is the Kings' first signing of the summer.

For this signing, in the free market full of big names, it is at most a small splash, and it does not make too many waves, only some people with keen senses obviously feel that Wang will operate the same as trading Batum at this time.

"It's clearly preparing for the departure of Ron Artest and Chris Bosh."

Much of the media has speculated about the deep changes that will come with signing Harrington, but what is certain is that the Kings still have plenty of salary space next season to sign more quality free agents.

On the same day, according to Yahoo Sports, the Phoenix Suns signed forward Hakeem Varik to a four-year, $18 million contract.

Like the Kings, the Suns are clearly preparing for the departure of the All-Star team, and Varick strengthens the interior, which means that the All-Star interior Amare Stoudemire's time with the Suns has officially entered the countdown.

As an all-star player in the league, Xiao Si is known as a top player, but at present, Xiao Si's negotiations with the Suns are at an impasse.

The Suns have offered Stoudemire a five-year, $96 million contract, with the first three years being fully guaranteed, the fourth year being a 50% guaranteed, but it could also become a fully guaranteed contract, given Stoudemire's attendance in the first three years, and the fifth season could also be fully guaranteed. The main reason why the Suns will give such a contract is because Xiao Si has been plagued by knee injuries and eye injuries, which also make him not have enough insurance money.

Wang learned tomorrow that the Knicks will give Xiao Si a five-year salary cap, and all of these five years are guaranteed contracts, and at the same time, the Heat team is starting to be interested in Xiao Si when they can't get Chris Bosh for the time being.

On the evening of the 3rd, according to David Aldridge of the American sports TNT TV, former Clippers point guard Steve Blake has agreed to sign a four-year, $16 million contract with the Lakers.

August 28 is the time for the Turkish Basketball World Championships, and Wang Mingming, as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, has not much time to stay in the United States.

On July 4, Wang re-booked Chris Bosh and Ron Artest's agents tomorrow.

Bosh's agent has been active in Miami before, in addition to operating for Chris Bosh, he is also responsible for Dwyane Wade's contract extension, and now that Wade's contract extension with the Heat is nearing the end, it is time to go all out for Chris Bosh.

So, Wang received this agent in the office tomorrow.

Henry Thomas.

Thomas is a well-dressed suit, and as a well-known agent at CAA, he has plenty of confidence in his negotiation skills and level.

"Chris is a good player, he got the first FMVP of his career, and in the past year, he's played his worth."

Wang Ming said with a smile.

Henry Thomas also had a smile on his face, Wang Tomorrow is right, Chris Bosh is now worth skyrocketing, if in the free market last year, his value is still some distance from LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, then this year, Chris Bosh is enough to be sought after by many teams in the league, and willingly offer the top salary.

"Thanks to your teaching, Coach Wang!"

"I wonder what Chris thinks now." Wang said straight to the point.

Henry Thomas didn't expect Wang to be so straightforward tomorrow, paused for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Coach Wang, Chris has decided to go to the Miami Heat." ”

Wang Mingming's face was as usual, and he sighed in his heart.

He didn't respond, his fingers tapping on the table a few times.

Henry Thomas felt a little regretful after speaking, the rhythm was still deviated by Wang Mingming, Wang Tomorrow can be straight to the point, but how can he, as a representative of Chris Bosh, tell the truth so quickly.

Since Chris Bosh has decided to go to Miami, but has sent an agent to talk to Wang tomorrow, it shows that Chris Bosh prefers to sign first and then trade.

So Wang spread his hands tomorrow, "So, I don't actually need to quote, right?" I talk directly to Pat Riley? ”

Henry Thomas's face was broken, and he reasoned, as if it were so.

"So the Heat are going to form the Big Three?"

Wang Mingming's eyes turned and asked with a smile.

Henry Thomas's tone was suffocated, he signed a confidentiality agreement, of course, you can't talk nonsense about the affairs of the Heat Big Three, but being deceived by Wang Mingming, the psychology was suddenly panicked, and I felt that Wang Mingming's pair of wise glasses looked at them and saw through everything.

Wang wasn't just talking about it tomorrow, but while chatting with Henry Thomas, he called Pat Riley and discussed the Chris Bosh trade with Pat Riley remotely.

Pat Riley is an old fox, unlike Henry Thomas, Wang will fight with Pat Riley tomorrow.

On the afternoon of the 4th, Wang met with Ron Artest's agent tomorrow, and Artest expressed his willingness to play in big cities and reach an agreement with the Kings to sign and trade.

Just when Wang was talking with several brokers and the general manager of the alliance tomorrow, another big fish in the trading market this year completed the signing.

ESPN columnist Mark Stein has just revealed a trade news on his Weibo that the Dallas Mavericks have reached a verbal agreement with Dirk Nowitzki on a four-year contract extension, with Dirk receiving at least $80 million in guaranteed contracts.

It is understood that Nowitzki's new contract has a similar overlord clause to Kobe, and he can refuse to trade the Mavericks for himself in the second four years of this year, and only Nowitzki has such a privilege in the whole league except Kobe.

In the NBA, a player must have been in the league for more than 8 years and played for the same team for more than 4 years to be eligible for a trade veto.

The king will not return home until late tomorrow after working until late at night.

Because of the large amount of offseason work to be completed, Wang will work very long hours tomorrow, and when he returns home, Gal Gadot feels sorry for Wang tomorrow.

At this time, there was also a distant cousin Lin Jiuzhen and her best friend in the villa who came to stay on vacation, and when Wang opened the door tomorrow, only Gal Gadot was waiting for him on the sofa.

"Did they go to sleep first?"

"That's right, they're going to Los Angeles tomorrow, and I want to take them with me."

"Okay, you can just take them there, and by the way, help me look at the real estate in Los Angeles, and I'm going to buy a house in Los Angeles in the future."

......

In the next few days, the league was full of news of various signings.

The most exciting is the signing of Amare Stoudemire and the New York Knicks, who finally captured the little bully for a sky-high price of about $100 million in five years.

According to sources, Smalls will announce the signing of the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Interestingly, the Knicks chased Xiao Si in large part because they wanted to use Xiao Si as a bargaining chip to lure James.

The 27-year-old is also eager to find a home after the collapse of his talks with the Suns as a way to prove his court worth. He has certain hidden dangers in his knees and eyes, which is the fundamental reason why the sun is reluctant to give him a high-tech long contract. In this context, the Knicks offered a high price to Xiao Si, who was in a hurry to sign, and the two sides hit it off and finally agreed.

Smalls signed with the New York Knicks, then David Lee's departure became inevitable, according to insiders, the Nets have been contacting David Lee in recent days, and the New Jersey is hoping to get Boozer or David Lee. Lee's agent also admitted that they and the Nets will continue to negotiate.

David Lee's agent even tried to get in touch with Wang, who was not very interested in getting David Lee, and he is now focusing more on the two "giants" on the trading team.

In addition, in the league, big fish such as Joe Johnson, Kevin Durant, and Ray Allen have renewed their contracts.

Among them, Durant belongs to an early contract extension, and the contract renewal is a maximum salary of 85 million for 5 years.

On July 7, Yahoo Sports reported that sources revealed in advance that the Bulls had signed a five-year, $80 million contract with former Jazz player Carlos Boozer.

Seeing that the large, medium and small fish in the market have been signed, and the Sacramento Kings have not moved, signing Al Harrington seems to have completed the work of the entire offseason, which inevitably makes Kings fans feel a little dissatisfied and more anxious.

On the evening of July 7, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade announced that they would play together in Miami for the next season.

Previously, James said that he would announce his decision during a one-hour special on ESPN at 9 p.m. on Thursday (July 8).

And the early announcements of Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade have made James' options extremely limited. Brian Wincht, an expert from Cleveland, also revealed that James and his agent team were all shocked when they heard the news that Bosh had joined the Heat.

Bosh joined the Heat, and the specific joining method has not been revealed, but from all previous indications, the Kings should have completed a trade with the Heat.

Wang tomorrow held a coaching staff meeting after Bosh announced his joining.

"Bosh is in the past, he signed a six-year, 1.1 contract, almost a maximum salary."

"Got a $14.5 million trade exception from the Heat, two first-round picks, and a second-round pick, one from the Heat's 2011 first-round pick and one from the Raptors' 2011 first-round pick (from the Heat's Marion trade).

Wang Ming came up with his own plan: "Chris is gone, so our No. 4 position is vacant, and our priority now is to find a reliable No. 4 position, Al Harrington can be used as a substitute for the new season, and I am not prepared to make him a starter." ”

The assistant coaches understood what Wang Mingming meant, and the 14.5 million trade exception and the draft pick from the Heat were the chips for the Kings in exchange for star power forwards.

"Which All-Star power forward?"

Questions were asked.

The next day, James announced on the evening TV show that he was joining the Miami Heat.

At this point, the Miami Heat has completely become the headline, sparking heated discussions across the league and even around the world.

James actually did not join the Heat directly as a free agent, but the Heat obtained it by paying a 14.5 million trade exception, two first-round picks in 2013 and 2015, and two second-round picks, of which the Cavaliers also had the right to decide whether to trade with the Heat for first-round picks in 2012.

In terms of treatment, James is still a little higher than Chris Bosh.

As soon as James' decision came out, it immediately overshadowed the limelight of the first person in history to switch to his FMVP, and became the target of condemnation throughout Cleveland.

Chris Bosh has only played for the Kings for a year, and the Kings fans don't have deep feelings for him, at most they think that this kid is a bit of a white-eyed wolf, and he will go to the big city to develop when he fights. And LeBron James spent his entire youth in the Cavaliers, and Cleveland gave him all his love, but in exchange for the final "betrayal".

It was a trivial matter for fans to burn jerseys or something, and after that, James's image was damaged and he became the number one "most annoying" fan in the league, successfully surpassing Kobe.

Since July 9, the news of the Miami Big Three has been overwhelming.

For the first time in history, there was a situation where three top superstars of the year were huddled, and the Heat instantly became the favorites to win the championship in the new season, and the entire NBA also received great attention.

In the long run, such a group is certainly unreasonable and not conducive to the development of the league, but in the short term, before the new labor negotiations come, it is necessary to increase the exposure and viewership of the NBA through such superstar groups.

Under such "Big Three" news, news like David Lee signing the Warriors with a big contract of $80 million in 6 years, and the news that the Bobcats left Tyrus Thomas for $40 million in 5 years can basically only cause some discussion among local fans.

After trading Bosh, the Kings are considered to have little hope of winning the championship in the new season, after all, now that the top power forwards on the market have been signed, the Kings have no way to increase the depth of their roster, let alone the top defensive roster from last season.

To add insult to injury, Ron Artest is also leaving.

This has become an indisputable fact in the league, and there are many teams interested in Artest, and the 31-year-old Artest is one of the few power small forwards in the league who can defend James.

The only good news is that Tyson Chandler has decided to exercise his player option for next season, play another year with the Kings, and become a full free agent next year.
