The Denver Nuggets had an impressive 57 wins last season, which is inseparable from Iguodala's excellent performance. Despite falling short in the playoffs, the Nuggets are still a hopeful team. Next season, if Iguodala doesn't jump out of his contract, the Nuggets will pay him $12 million a year. It stands to reason that Iguodala has no reason to leave the Nuggets, he has only been in Denver for one season, let alone a good season.

But actually, when George. The moment Karl encouraged Iguodala to use unfair means to hurt opposing players, his heart was long gone in Denver.

Iguodala is hungry for victory, but when it comes to victory, he has his own principles. Deliberately hurting people, he will definitely not do this kind of thing.

George. Karl's request made Iguodala feel disgusted with the Denver Nuggets. He was hungry for a more secure long-term contract and wanted to be able to restart his career in a different location. The place had to have a market large enough for Iguodala to plan for his business empire.

The Golden State Warriors were infinitely close to Iguodala, but in the end, this low-key powerhouse forward chose the Dallas Mavericks with Yiyang. Don't people say that playing around you can get better? Now Iguodala is eager to get better.

"I can't believe we did it!" After attending the press conference announcing Iguodala's move to the Mavericks, Cuban jumped up and down with excitement in his office. He finally has the star player he dreams of again, and he also meets Carlisle's needs.

Iguodala is a guy who can attack and defend well, and most importantly, he is more than willing to play the role of second or even third leader. As long as Yiyang is willing, Iguodala is more than happy to cooperate fully. He has the quality of a star in the house, but he has the heart of a role player.

Compared to Howard and Jefferson, Iguodala does not have a problem with the distribution of the ball. He can score, but he doesn't stick to the ball. He can defend, and Marion will never again be the target of the opponent's attack.

Iguodala's arrival has brought jubilation to Dallas, and this is perhaps the most correct signing Cuban has made in nearly two years.

After Iguodala "remarried", some people were naturally happy and some were worried. The Denver media, which had been chanting that Iguodala's loyalty could not be measured in monetary terms, had turned around the day and described Iguodala as a traitor who did all kinds of evil.

After completing the contract signing to join the Mavericks, Denver Post columnist Mark Brown. Kreiza ridiculed Iguodala's departure from the Nuggets as cowardly: "The Nuggets are going to be better without Iguodala. He gave up a $12 million contract for the Mavericks. We can understand that if you can't outrun the calves, then become an accomplice with them. ”

In the face of Iguodala's transfer, George. Carl, the old man, also bluntly attacked.

"Iguodala is a player who didn't breed and he chose to win in an easier way, but in the end he will regret it. His unpopular choice will only make his career worse! ”

In Denver, Iguodala turned into a public enemy. But Iguodala himself didn't care, and he happily came to Dallas to buy a house and made initial contact with several owners to open up his business market in Dallas. What does the Denver affair have to do with him? He's now a Dallas Mavericks player.

"Now I'm playing in a different team and I just want to focus on the team I'm playing with and playing every game. Carlisle and Cuban have already talked to me about how to play next season, and to be honest I think we can get good results. As for what you asked me about what Carl said about me...... All I can say is that it scratches my head. I have absolutely no idea what it was or why he said that. In the face of the reporter's interview, Iguodala also expressed his attitude of indifference. The Nuggets were unjust to him, do you still expect Iguodala to have affection for his old club?

Yiyang, who was "hiding" in Los Angeles for special training, was also "dug up" by omnipotent reporters, but this time, Yiyang is no longer the protagonist. Almost all the reporters asked him to comment on Iguodala's move to the Mavericks.

In fact, when Yiyang saw the news that Iguodala joined the Mavericks, he immediately expressed his welcome to Iguodala on his social media, and then asked Duffy to help him get Iguodala's personal phone number and send him a welcome text message.

Yiyang is very excited about Iguodala's arrival, but you don't expect him to put that excitement on his face.

'We have a very good colleague who can help us go far next season.' Yiyang simply dismissed the reporters with a simple sentence.

"How far? Finals? A reporter was unrelenting and asked loudly in the face of Yiyang, who had turned around and was about to leave.

Yiyang stopped, turned his head to look at the reporter who was asking, but finally said nothing.

Finals? I thought you would say the championship!

The addition of Iguodala has finally brought the Mavericks, who have been immersed for a long time, back into the public's eye. Of course, Iguodala is just an appetizer. Kuban, who had been in reserve for a long time, immediately began to throw out all the money in his hands in a planned way.

A day later, the Mavericks officially announced that they were re-signing Darren for three years, $15.04 million, who performed well last season. Collison, the Mavericks' strongest sixth man, will continue to make a comeback for Dallas.

Although most of the players signed by the Mavericks are not "giant" characters, experts can see that they are very rational in every signing! Those who, despite their fame, are not suitable for the team at all, Carlisle and Cuban are completely unconcerned.

After the contract extension, the Mavericks rushed to meet Iguodala's former teammate, veteran Haitian center Samuel Brown. Damham Porter agreed to a two-year, $7.5 million contract with a team option for the second year.

Although Damham Porter is 33 years old, this extremely professional and defensive center is exactly the kind of player the Mavericks need. At this point, the recruits of Carlisle and Cuban have also been confirmed, that is, the kind of guy who is willing to defend and will not occupy the ball too much!

Defense, which has always been a big emphasis on Carlisle, has been a big focus on Carlisle, but last season's Mavericks' roster left them with offense to push for higher rankings and the playoffs. This season, the Mavericks have come close to reinventing the wheel while retaining their core, and Carlisle has been able to build a suffocating defensive lineup that belongs to Dallas as he wants. That kind of helplessness in the face of the Spurs' offense, Carlisle never wants to experience again.

So far, the Mavericks have four defensive giants: Gobert, Yiyang, Iguodala and Durham Porter. From the outside, their defensive depth is more than enough, and it's time to recruit some attacking players.

But Carlisle doesn't think so, with Yiyang, Nowitzki, Iguodala and Collison, the team's offense doesn't really have to worry about anymore. The next step is a defensive player. And, definitely a top defensive expert!

Prior to this, the Mavericks announced that they would win the "singles king" Nick with a one-year final salary. Young, the Mavericks' most "alternative" player in their summer signings, made the outside world think that the Mavericks were finally going to start hoarding scorers.

Nick. Yang Ji is not good at defense and is not a team player, so he doesn't seem to fit in with the Mavericks' system. In fact, signed Nick. Young is Cuban's "personal preference", and Carlisle doesn't have the slightest affection for this player who can only play indiscriminately. But who made Cuban the boss? He just likes guys who can score. But just a Nick. Young, and it won't break the structure of the Mavericks. So this signing, Carlisle did not obstruct too much. Sometimes, you have to make the Cuban happy, don't you?

In mid-July, Kidd announced that he was joining the Nets on a three-year contract. Only this time, his identity changed from a player to a coach!

Yiyang was shocked again, and after Stevens took over the coaching whip of the Celtics, Kidd, another important teacher in his life, also officially took office.

At the press conference, Kidd also joked with reporters. "Maybe tomorrow I'll switch to playing under my men?"

During this time in the training camp, it can be said that there are surprises every day. Gobert's progress made Yiyang feel gratified, and the improvement of the team's lineup made Yiyang eager to try. And the appearance of Stevens and Kidd also made Yiyang look forward to the showdown with them.

But what Yiyang didn't know was that this summer's surprises weren't over yet. At this moment at the negotiating table, Carlisle is fighting for the Mavericks for the last big piece of the puzzle!

"You know, the best point guard in the world."

"You know, it was the best point guard last season that got my team knocked out."

"It's your old team, you're already a free agent." Carlisle smiled, trying to make the atmosphere a little more relaxed.

"I thank you for loving me, but I really don't have a reason to join. You can't give me anything other than more annual salary. "A strong black player spreads his hands, and there aren't many teams in the league that are willing to pay for defensive players. If it weren't for Cuban's four-year price tag of 23 million, he probably wouldn't have wasted his time coming to Dallas at all.

"Isn't the championship attractive enough?" Carlisle showed his killer feature directly.

Seeing that the other party hesitated, Carlisle immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue and continued. "Everybody knows that we're recruiting everywhere and recruiting players who are as good as you. Is Mark thinking he has too much money? No, we don't spend this money to join in the fun, but because we have a goal. What is our goal? Overall Winner! ”

The black player hesitated, and although he only entered the league in 2004, he was actually only a year younger than a veteran like Hellam Porter, half a year to be exact. It was almost the last long contract of his career and one of the few chances he had to claim an honour.

On an emotional level, the old club is good. But many more realistic things could not be provided to him by the old club.

Do you wait for your aging self to be abandoned by your old club after four years and then do nothing for your entire career, or choose a new starting point and pursue something different?

"I ...... I think about it. "The player didn't say yes to Carlisle, but he didn't say no either.

Carlisle didn't force people to make a decision right away, but smiled confidently.

'You're a smart player, Toney. I believe that you can make the right choice. ”

Tony. Aaron stood up and thanked him and left the office. Dallas or Memphis? It's a tough choice.
