July 6 is the start date for free agents, but until then, teams can already start reaching out to free agents in the league. The Knicks cast a wide net during this time, and they had to talk about all the targets they favored, because you don't know who will come in the end, and if you put your eggs in one basket, the result must be a chicken and an egg.

The Knicks currently have only five players under contract, and the Knicks will not offer any free agents until Stoudemire is actually signed. Don't look at the millions of contracts that don't seem to be big, but if you want to sign a few more, it will affect the follow-up operation space.

That's the case in Miami at the moment, where they have to empty all their players to have room for the Big Three to come together.

The Knicks first reached out to Matt Barnes to offer him a three-year, $10 million contract.

But what stunned the Knicks was that Barnes actually said that he only wanted to go to a team with championship strength, and it was revealed that Barnes would rather accept a contract with an annual salary of about 1.7 million to join the Lakers rather than join the Cavaliers and the Knicks.

Emperor Wu heard the news at home, and he was also speechless, not knowing how to comment on this kind of thing. That Barnes doesn't know if it's really brainless, or if he really has such a strong desire for honor, how can he not want a $3 million contract for a role player, but instead want to run to the defending champion to get a base salary?

"He probably thinks he's Barkley and doesn't want this contract, there are people in this league crying and shouting that they want to come to the Knicks to play." The management of the Knicks and Wu Huang have the same opinion, and many players have taken the initiative to show favor to the Knicks in the media this year, but they didn't expect to hit a nail in the first shot. Meets a Barnes who doesn't take them seriously.

July 4th. The Knicks contacted Tony Allen's agent. I plan to hand him a three-year, $10 million contract.

This is a contract specially prepared by the Knicks for the outside bench this season, and the annual salary of three million is as good as possible to choose the best one, and Tony Allen was originally one of their targets, but D'Antoni feels that Barnes is better.

When Tony Allen got the news from his agent, he immediately threw the Grizzlies' contract to him in the trash and immediately packed his bags and prepared to play in New York.

He's not stupid, can playing for the Knicks compare to playing for the Grizzlies? Although the two contracts are about the same, he plays in New York. I don't know how much more follow-up endorsements are than going to the Grizzlies.

NBA players know that in the past two years, Rockets players have received endorsement contracts in China, and even players like Hayes have endorsements from Chinese manufacturers. This was unthinkable in the past, because playing with the Rockets added a Chinese market.

Now the Knicks not only have the Chinese market, they own the entire Asian market, he is satisfied just by following Wu Huang to pick up some leftovers, not to mention that the Knicks are now a strong team in the league, and after Xiao Si joined, they have become the favorite to win the championship next season, even if they give a little less money. Tony Allen is also going to New York instead of Memphis.

But the Knicks soon discovered that not everyone was full of yearning for the Knicks. Some people took the initiative to leave.

Channing Frye made a formal trade request to the team on July 5 and wants to go to a team that can play as a starter or serve as a key rotation.

The Knicks have already confirmed that they want to sign Stoudemire and trade David Lee for two garbage contracts at the No. 4 position, and now the team is overcrowded at the No. 4 position, and Frye knows that he certainly doesn't have much playing time this season, and he has one year left on his contract, and if he can't put in a good stat this season, it will be difficult to get a satisfactory long-term contract next year, so he has to go.

D'Antoni also knew that such a request could not be refused, and after the arrival of Smalls, he could not guarantee Frye's playing time, and he had to fight Radmanovic and Turyaf, so Frye would definitely not stay.

After Emperor Wu learned the news, he immediately thought of Indian Shih Tzu, and wondered if the Knicks would exchange Fry for Hassan Whiteside, would they agree?

Whiteside is this year's second-round pick, with a salary of up to $1 million in his first season, while Frye's salary is $3 million.

But it doesn't matter, the Kings now have more than 30 million space, and after the two teams force a trade, the Knicks will get a $2 million trade exception, which can not only fulfill Frye's request, but also further release team space, and get the rookie they want, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

The Kings have nothing to lose in this deal, they already have Cousins, they certainly don't have the energy to develop Whiteside anymore, and now they can pick up a starting No. 4 spot for nothing, which is obviously a big bargain.

After listening to Emperor Wu's advice, D'Antoni quickly contacted the king's side.

Of course, the king would not refuse this kind of good thing, and they didn't really fancy what talent Whiteside had, otherwise they wouldn't have dragged it out until the second round to select him. At that time, it was because there were no good players left, and to put it bluntly, it was the big one among the short, so the two sides hit it off and only waited for the deal to be completed after the same month in August.

Why wait until August, this is because the NBA has rules on rookie trades, all rookies cannot be traded within 30 days of signing, so if both sides want to trade, they must wait until August to make a trade.

To be honest, the Kings are now in a hurry to trade more than the Knicks, and if Frye is a free agent this year, he can sign an annual salary of more than $5 million, and they are now afraid that the Knicks will regret it.

After the free market kicked off in July, not only the Knicks made frequent moves, but the league's 30 teams showed their talents, and for a while, the transfer news of major media emerged in an endless stream, and fans were soon dizzy, unable to distinguish which news was true and which news was purely fabricated by the editor with his ass.

But there is some news that has already been sealed.

Xiao Si appeared in New York on July 5, and this time D'Antoni, Wu Huang and Iguodala accompanied Xiaobawang to Madison Square Garden, which shows that the deal has settled.

It's still this day. Wade and Bosh took a spin in the United States. Finally came up to Miami. So it seems. The odds of the Dragon King joining the Heat are at least eighty percent.

Boozer left for Chicago a day before Bosh, and it's not unfortunate that the Buck Boy will reach a verbal engagement with the Bulls in private.

Nowitzki, Pierce, and Ray Allen have all revealed that they will renew their contracts, and there is no suspense about the whereabouts of these old guys.

Looking at the entire league, the most eye-catching at this time is James, who has just met with people from all walks of life in Cleveland, and his whereabouts have always affected the fate of many people.

July 6th. The official signing day of free agents was launched, and many media reported for the first time that Wade, James and Bosh could form a "dream team", and now it seems that the Heat has the best chance of achieving this goal, because James is only left with the Cavaliers, Bulls and Heat at this time.

James finally spoke up, saying he would announce his decision on July 10 at 9 p.m. on ESPN during a one-hour special.

Experts from Cleveland also revealed that James and his agent team were shocked when they heard the news that Bosh is likely to join the Heat. It can be seen from this that after the situation began to become clear, James was more inclined to take the lead in making decisions and leaving more room for "joining the team" to operate. Other words. If Bosh and Wade can determine where to go right away, it will make James' options even more limited. At the same time, it will also force him to make a decision as soon as possible.

In fact, whether James joins the Heat or not, the combination of Wade and Bosh is enough to make this Miami team one of the future oligarchs of the NBA. Wade led the Heat to a championship in 2006, and Bosh has been one of the best interior players in the East. As long as these two join forces, the Heat already have the capital to become a championship team.

It is reported that Wade and Bosh both want to get the highest maximum salary contract, because the Heat only have a salary of about 43 million, after signing the two with the maximum salary (the starting salary of the two will occupy about 34 million space), James Unless he accepts a salary cut, the Heat do not have enough salary space, unless they sign first and then change.

There is no exact word yet on how Bosh will join the Heat, and he can choose to sign directly with the Heat or, as the Raptors wish, sign and trade to the Heat. The latter way is more beneficial to Bosh, because signing with the parent team can sign a six-year contract of 125 million compared to signing with the Heat, which is equivalent to getting nearly 30 million more and being able to sign for an extra year.

This trade method requires the Heat to pay a trade exception worth about $17 million and a second-round to close the deal, and the Raptors can use this huge trade exception to seek a trade. And sources from the league have revealed that Heat president Pat Riley is trying to convince Bosh that he wants him to sign a five-year free agent with the Heat. That way, the Heat could avoid negotiations with the Raptors, but Bosh himself had the idea of signing and trading for a six-year contract.

However, earlier this week, it was reported from within the Raptors that the team was not willing to make a sign-and-trade deal with the Heat. The reason is that there are no players in the Heat team who are worthy of the Raptors' affection. But once Bosh chooses to switch to other teams, the Raptors can use the huge salary space freed up by the departure of the "Dragon King" to completely tear down and rebuild, or attract other big-name free agents to join.

"By all accounts, Bosh joining the Heat is the best choice." This is the view of many commentators, and in fact, the day before the ESPN report, Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov revealed that Bosh might join the Heat because their plan to lobby Bosh failed.

The New York Times believes that the Heat are actively snatching Bosh to prevent the little emperor from changing his mind, the NBA only has interests and no loyalty, if they can't get Wade and Bosh first, James will have a lot more options, and once they get the two giants, James will have this way to go.

Originally, the Bulls and Knicks were not inferior in the strength of the team, with Wade and Bosh's Heat, but the core of these two companies does not seem to be interested in the gorillas, Wu Huang and Rose will not be willing to James to steal their core position, but James is definitely the core no matter where he goes. This cost the Bulls and Knicks the opportunity to get James. Because they all feel that their core potential is not inferior to James' right now.

The situation is not clear enough. But it can be foreseen that there will be several big teams in the league next season.

The history of the NBA is not long, for more than 60 years, the Lakers and Celtics have won 16 and 17 times respectively, which accounts for more than half. This phenomenon is caused by the narrow market space, similar to playing Rich, if you want to reinforce, you have to expand. But the map is small. The options are limited, and the game loses its suspense.

Jordan lived in an era of rapid expansion of the NBA league. Many old traditions and new trends contradict each other and merge to create a larger market. On the new map, the Lakers and Celtics have developed a new successful concept - the giant model, which then affects the trade rules.

The league's current trend seems to be encouraging everyone to play this get-rich-quick game, and this summer will be extra cautious for LeBron, as one decision will affect him for life. Although there is a precedent such as the Celtics, it is a pioneer and occupies the high-quality resources of the market in advance. Miami does not have such conditions.

The New York Times report is a bit of a drag on Miami, but it won't have much effect. Just like no one can influence Xiao Si to defect to the Knicks, it will be difficult for them to prevent the 03 generation from getting together.

Da Sabi then pointed out that the knight was a risky move to let O'Neill go, and that the veteran would not be able to play a role in your formation and could be a stumbling block in someone else's formation. The reason why the Cavaliers didn't keep O'Neal was for several reasons, the most important of which was that they weren't sure if LeBron would stay, because once James left, it would be useless for them to keep an O'Neal.

This deliberate elevation of O'Neal is clearly for another purpose, and the Knicks have a lot of interest in the veteran playoff veteran, and given that they are still weak at the center position, it is clear what the purpose is.

On July 6, the Knicks announced early in the morning that they had completed a trade with the Suns, and at 0:01 last night, they offered Al Harrington a five-year, $35 million contract, and traded for Amare Stoudemire, who also signed a new five-year, $99.6 million contract.

The two are not equal in salary, but it doesn't matter, the Knicks have enough room to operate, and they can give the Suns a $11 million trade exception, and that would complete the deal.

In addition to getting Harrington as compensation, the Phoenix people also got a special case of 10 million level, regardless of whether this thing is useful or not, at least they can't get anything empty-handed. The Knicks, on the other hand, don't want Harrington anyway, just like being a favor, a bit like taking trash and pitiful for the Suns.

ESPN rated the deal as 4 stars, a rare successful deal for the Knicks in nearly a decade.

Amare Stoudemire is still a good fast-break finisher and a top-notch pick-and-roll finisher for scoring. But he's not an inside attacker, and his hidden dangers include height, age and injuries in addition to defense.

The negotiation between Xiao Si and the Suns was precisely because the other party was afraid of health issues, and the contract offered included a limit on the appearance requirements of the last two years. Smalls chose to part ways with the Suns and secured a max contract with the Knicks, and overall, the deal was a win-win for both the player and the team.

After the deal was completed, the Knicks and their No. 6 pick, Greg Monroe, signed a four-year contract worth $13.11 million, with a fourth-year team option. Immediately afterward, they signed Landry Fields on a two-year, $1.8 million rookie contract, and the following year on a non-guaranteed contract.

New York fans were staring and waiting for the news of the team's signing of Stoudemire, but they never expected that the team would get the contract in the early hours of the morning, and the whole New York City cheered for a while!

Knicks fans believe the deal completely fills in the team's interior line, and with Smalls, who can break down Duncan's defense on the offensive end, their third title is just around the corner.

Wu Huang looked at the excited New York fans, his mood was somewhat complicated, especially seeing that the media and fans valued Xiao Si's role so much, he suddenly understood why Taylor Swift always put his nose on his clothes and sniffed, because this kind of taste is really uncomfortable, not to mention that he is not just cheating on a girl.

New York fans are discussing how their Big Three will beat the Magic in the new season, and the Knicks announced a new signing news at noon, signing free agent Tony Allen to a three-year, $10 million contract. The brilliant defensive duo who played for the Celtics last season. The new season is coming up for the Knicks.

But compared to the shock of signing to the Knicks. Not many people care about Tony Allen, and New York fans think he's just a second-place substitute.

On the first day of the free agent signing, the Knicks' roster has changed drastically from last season.

PG: Wu Huang

SG: Iguodala, Tony Allen.

SF: Danilo Gallinari, Danny Green, Landry Fields.

PF: Amare Stoudemire, Channing Fry, Rademanovich, Ronnie Turyaev.

C: Greg Monroe.

It's clear now that the Knicks are too bloated at the No. 4 position, lacking a backup at point guard, and without a reliable starter at the center position, Monroe is not strong enough to start a championship-winning team right now.

Knicks fans are still looking forward to the news that the team continues to strengthen. On the other hand, according to ESPN, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, two of the hottest free agents this summer, officially announced on July 7, US time, that they will play together in Miami in the next new season.

According to another ESPN report, the situation about LeBron James was also mentioned: this is another source revealed that James will officially announce his whereabouts on July 10, and from the current situation, James has a high chance of joining the Heat after the two 03 peers.

Back in the opening of free agency on July 1, there were several media outlets about the possibility of Wade, James and Bosh forming a "dream team", and now it seems that the Heat are the only place where that combination can be realized. LeBron will announce his decision at 9 p.m. on the 10th during a one-hour special on ESPN.

But in fact, there is no need to wait until the 10th, some media have already gotten the news from private channels. James will soon be heading to Miami after Bosh first joined the Heat, and the NBA's largest free-agent "defection" plan is about to become a reality.

James' "decision" to broadcast his own location was originally the idea of his hair boy and agent Mavrick Carter, and it was also the product of his single-handedly planning. The plan was opposed by many of James' relatives and friends, who feared it would seriously hurt the hearts of Clevelands.

In the past few days, several friends can't help but say to James that it is a very bad idea to announce the "betrayal" of his hometown in the form of live television in the United States, which will bring an unprecedented public relations crisis to James and make him the target of everyone's shouting.

But James seemed unmoved, he felt that there was no difference between live broadcast and live broadcast. In his opinion, people will still be angry after all, and what should be faced will always come. James felt that the live TV broadcast might cause an uproar, but things would calm down and the Cleveland people would start liking him again.

In the past 7 years, no one in the Cavaliers has dared to point out James' various immaturity, let alone challenge James's authority. Gilbert tried his best to cater to James, and even if James didn't answer his calls or return his texts, the Cavaliers boss still insisted on firing Mike Brown and getting rid of general manager Danny Ferry.

In short, what Dan Gilbert and the Clevelands did was to be obedient and ingratiating themselves with James, and they would do whatever their emperor was happy and happy. But in two days, Gilbert and the Cleveland people will have an idea!

They should have woken up a long time ago, because no one in this world knows better than the Cavaliers that no one wants to challenge James' ideas and influence James' decisions. They should also know that blindly spoiling may not get gratitude and loyalty, but deserved.

On July 7, Nowitzki opted to leave his contract early and then re-signed a new four-year, $80 million contract with the Mavericks that included a no-trade clause. As everyone knows, despite jumping out of the contract, Nowitzki is clearly thinking about the Mavericks, and he even chose to take a pay cut, and as compensation, the Mavericks prepared a league overlord clause for him: non-tradable.

Paul Pierce also made the decision to jump out of the contract early on the same day, and the new contract amount: 61 million for 4 years. "Truth" jumped out of his contract to take a pay cut to stay with the team, and the only argument in Pierce's negotiations with the Celtics was whether he needed full coverage for the fourth year.

Ray Allen also chose to renew his contract with Celtic, with a contract amount of 2 years and 20 million. So. The Big Three will continue. Aaron's choice was not unexpected. The two-year contract includes a second-year player option, and he prepares himself for everything.

On July 8, the biggest deal came from the Atlanta Hawks, who successfully extended Joe Johnson's contract for six years, $123.7 million.

In the end, Joe Johnson chose to stay in Atalanta, which could provide him with a stable roster and ...... The most banknotes.

The Eagles' choice was not so wise in the eyes of the media, and ESPN only gave the extension a two-and-a-half star rating. Joe Johnson wasn't so consistent and efficient against the Knicks in the playoffs last season, and he may be worth a max contract, but the $120 million contract has exceeded his value.

Regardless, Joe Johnson is at least the best swingman this year other than LeBron and Wade, with all-around skills, excellent active attacking ability, the best team leader, and the ability to lead a strong team to maintain a divisional championship-level result.

Also on the same day, Rudy Gay signed a new contract with the Grizzlies. Contract amount: 82 million for 5 years.

ESPN has made a three-and-a-half-star deal for the extension, and Rudy Gay barely matched the contract last season. After all, he still has a lot of potential to tap, and the Grizzlies are worried that other teams will offer more terrible contracts, so they decided to start first, and this choice should be the right one.

On July 9, Carlos Boozer signed and then traded to the Bulls, with a contract amount of 80 million for five years.

ESPN's rating of the deal is also 3 and a half stars, Boozer is the typical beneficiary of the LeBron race, and the pursuit of the Bulls, Heat, and Nets finally allowed Boozer to get a big contract that he is happy with. The Jazz have been hurt as a result, and they are hoping to make up for Boozer's loss by signing and trading.

Overall, Boozer is the best No. 4 position this summer except for Bosh, Jr. and Nowitzki, the Bulls get Boozer to fill the big hole of their lack of interior attack, and the combination of Noah + Boozer also makes the Bulls good enough inside, and they already have the capital to become a strong team.

On July 10, Tyson Chandler considered it for a long time and opted to exercise the player option to stay with the Bobcats.

The Knicks offered Tyson Chandler a five-year, $50 million contract on the 6th, but Chandler chose not to leave the contract due to serious injuries this year. He's one of the best defensive centers in the league when he's healthy, with speed, good defensive ability, and a lot of individual defense, so he thinks he can get a better contract next year.

There weren't many deals in the league on this day, because it was a big day for James to broadcast his own place, and fans around the world were waiting for 21 o'clock US time to see how James would decide where to go in this gimmicky live broadcast.

But at 7 p.m., the Knicks announced again that they had completed a new deal, signing Shaquille O'Neal with a veteran base salary, the specific signing fee was not disclosed, but it certainly won't exceed $2 million.

The repercussions of this deal are much bigger than when the Knicks signed Tol Nallen a few days ago, Shaquille O'Neal has a very illustrious history, and even though he is now old, the old shark's destination still attracts the attention of many fans.

ESPN urgently evaluated the Knicks' trade and gave it a 4-star rating on the grounds that it was a great value for money, and if the Knicks were using the full mid-range, then the rating could have become 2 stars.

The major media previously thought that the Sharks were worth at least a full middle class, but they didn't expect him to choose a veteran base salary in the end, and the Knicks could sign the Big Sharks at such a price, which was really worth it, and he still had a salary of more than 20 million last season.

ESPN experts believe that this price no longer requires any discussion about how much fuel he has in his tank, or even unrealistically expecting him to have a second spring. What exactly does the Knicks expect O'Neal to do, I believe that D'Antoni will have a scale in his heart, that is, to roll up his pants like the Big Three of the Green Army and put them in the right position, and strive to ignite the light of victory with residual heat.

Whether the big shark can do this, in fact, there are still doubts. For example, he just fired at the Cleveland Cavaliers before leaving, targeting the offensive distribution of his old club, and hopefully the sharks are just childlike talk, because everyone knows that he is no longer the overlord of the past, and he can't help any team if he has a grudge against the number of shots.

It is worth mentioning. The Knicks deliberately chose this point in time to announce the signing of O'Neal. I don't know if there's a new disgusting James.

Of course. O'Neal may want to announce his whereabouts before James, there are reasons for his pride, just like men and women at breakups, the big shark also wants to tell everyone that this is not James dumping him first, but LeBron who he flew first.

New York fans can boldly imagine that if James does join the Heat, this big shark will meet James again. Will he break out and warm up and kill the Big Three?

At 9 p.m., fans around the world turned their attention to Cleveland again when James uttered the phrase "I'm going to bring my talent to South Beach" in front of a global audience...... On the streets of Cleveland, countless fans who still had a glimmer of hope left tears of disappointment.

Cleveland people felt the pain of heartbreak at this moment, tens of thousands of Cleveland people in the streets of the city, full of anticipation to watch the live broadcast, after the heartbreak ushered in infinite anger, many Cleveland people who felt "betrayed" chose to fire James's jersey on the street to vent their feelings.

The media wasn't too surprised, but what made them puzzled. Why would James say such an inappropriate thing on live TV?

After seeing the little emperor's live broadcast in the United States, people couldn't help but think. Having lost the Eastern Conference semifinals not long ago, James is like a boiled duck, with only a hard beak left. At that time, in the face of the flood of fans, only the Cleveland people insisted on standing with him, but James has now abandoned the only person who supports him.

Miami abruptly halted ticket sales for next season the day before James announced his decision, and the Heat should have learned of James' decision a day earlier, and they also decided to wait for the news and then raise the price.

The Bulls signed Boozer a day early, which should have been a reluctant choice made after learning in advance that James would not go to Chicago.

The stupidest thing is the Nets and the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers whispered and begged James to stay, fired the coach and general manager, and asked Paul to lobby and let the new coach Scola be a guarantee, but James still turned around.

The Nets left a gap of $30 million, waiting for James, but they were empty-handed, and the excellent interior lines on the market have been implemented one by one, so it's time for JAY-Z to play the interior.

At this time, you can try to imagine that the Heat, the Green Army, the Knicks, the Magic, the Bulls, the Hawks and other strong teams will have a bloody battle in the East in the new season.

On the western side, the overall strength was weakened by the loss of Xiaosi and Boozer. Due to the change of places in the big men, the big man players in the West have been "scarce and expensive", even Haywood can sign a contract with an average annual salary of 9 million in the Mavericks, and the big man who has moved from the East to the West, only David Lee, who will leave New York to join the Golden State Warriors.

This change is very interesting, the West is now only left with the Lakers, and the Purple and Gold should have no problem regaining the top spot in the West next season, depending on who in the East can fight their way out of the encirclement and come to challenge.

James left the Cavaliers for a championship, and he gave up the $30 million difference, which is a shame, but his departure also brings some problems.

At the Heat, the '03 Big Three tried to emulate the Green Army's Big Three, while winning gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics gave them a reverie for the championship.

But they should have thought that at the Beijing Olympics, the U.S. team still had Kobe and Anthony, as well as center Howard, of which James was both a small forward and a big forward, Howard's mobile and flexible style, Paul was comfortable with the ball, and Kobe's explosive influence ...... These are the fundamental guarantees for the U.S. team to play a quick counterattack. And the Heat now have four players on paper, and there's still too much work to do. Recall that the Green Army has a "Big Three", and so far only one Rondo has come out, it is not difficult to imagine the difficulty of their next step in forming a team, and countless people are waiting for them to repeat the embarrassment of F4.

Many people will definitely ask, these three people are together, the ball is in Wade's hands, or is it in James' hands? What is the positioning of Bosh?

In addition, for them, the bigger challenge comes from public opinion, everyone will constantly discuss who is the "boss" of this team, and the three of them may have solved this problem by meeting internally, vowing that no one will fight for the "boss", but look at the difference in the way Wade and James announced the decision to belong, you can see who is the "boss" at present.

In business and on the court, James remains the undisputed leader, Wade has always kept a low profile, and if he has achieved great results, nothing will happen. But what if there is a problem with the record? Hehe, there was a good show to watch at that time. (To be continued.) )
