Chapter 236: A Blockbuster Deal of Magic

The recruitment has not worked, the Warriors have temporarily focused on trading and renewing players, and Milicic has David Lee added the vacant position, so there is no need to worry about this.

West first extended Crawford's contract for 4 years and 52 million, and this season Crawford has a chance to win the Sixth Man of the Year, he is the top bench in the league and an integral part of the Warriors.

Gerard Green signed a contract extension, and the Warriors kept him for five million over two years. Gerard Green's performance in the playoffs has been impressive, and he can continue to play for Li Zhi next season, which is a big deal.

The Warriors then renewed Barnes' contract for 5.2 million in the next two years, and Lao Ba failed to become a "working emperor" in his life, and was firmly tied to the chariot by the Warriors.

The summer trade was extremely hot, and the teams made trade reinforcements.

The Suns signed free agent Channing Frye, who has a $2 million salary this season and a player option for the second year. The Suns played a fast-paced offense, and Frye had a place to play.

The Milwaukee Bucks sent All-Star small forward Richard Jefferson to the San Anio Spurs, and the Spurs sent away defensive experts Bruce Bowen, Kuto Thomas, and center Oberto, and then the Bucks traded Oberto for Amir Johnson from the Pistons.

Richard Jefferson currently has two years left on his $29.2 million contract, while Bowen and Oberto combined have a guaranteed contract salary of less than $3.9 million, and the deal is not quite done, and the league has determined that both teams are in a good position.

Jefferson is a super athletic player, he has a lot of jumping, he can often dunk very well, he can shoot from the back or shoot threes from the outside, and he has good rebounding ability. He was traded from the Nets to the Bucks last summer, where he played in 82 games, averaging 19.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. He shot 39.7 percent from three-point range and shot 43.9 percent from the field overall.

Jefferson spent the first seven years with the Nets, where he formed a trident with Carter and Kidd, averaging 17.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in his career.

Ginobili has only played 44 games this season due to injury, and Parker and Duncan have been unable to help the Spurs repeat the odd-numbered championships, and the addition of Jefferson could make the Spurs' offense a little more consistent.

The Spurs sent off 38-year-old defensive stalwart Bruce Bowen, who was the hero of the Spurs' three-time championship. Thomas is also an excellent defensive interior player with some mid-range shooting ability, and Oberto has played a major role in Spurs' championship games.

If Ginobili returns to health next season, the Spurs will form a combination of Parker, Ginobili, Jefferson and Duncan, all of whom have extremely strong offensive ability, and it looks like the Spurs are ambitious to challenge for another championship next season.

The Phoenix Suns and the Cleveland Cavaliers reached an agreement to trade Bitrings for Ben Wallace.

Wallace was a standout defensively, being named Player of the Year four times, being named to the NBA's No. 1 and No. 2 defensive teams six times, and helping the Pistons win a championship in 2004. Wallace moved to the Bulls from the Pistons in 2006 and joined the Cavaliers in 2008, but he has not been able to bring substantial help to the little emperor due to injury. During his fourteen-year NBA career, Wallace averaged 6.2 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game. Wallace is expected to earn $14 million next season, and there are reports that he is likely to choose to retire.

Bitlins, who is averaging 10.2 points and 11 rebounds per game this season, is a natural blocker with great physical attributes, excellent bounce and speed, good timing on blocks. He is not afraid of physical confrontation on the inside, and has an excellent sense of supplementation, which is the last barrier of the Suns' inner line. And Bitlins also has good offensive means, and he has grown significantly this season and will become a powerful helper by the emperor's side.

The Rockets and Lakers poached each other's feet, with the Rockets bringing in Ariza and Artest joining the Lakers. The Lakers took advantage, Artest was stronger than Ariza, and the offense was also a notch higher than Ariza.

The Lakers put together an All-Star lineup in this way, whether it is against Pierce, James, Anthony or Rich, Artest can fight hard. The Lakers have rightfully become the favorites in the eyes of the media.

The Magic followed the Lakers in a blockbuster trade that made the league's powerhouses tremble.

The Magic sent Alstom, Tony Barty and Courtney Lee and the Nets in exchange for Carter and Ryan Anderson. This means that Carter the Flyer will assist Howard "Warcraft" next season.

After the Magic and Nets complete the deal, the Magic will get another All-Star caliber player to help Dwight Howard continue to make a stronger push for the NBA championship next season.

The Magic already have three All-Stars on their roster, including Dwight Howard, Rashad Lewis and Jamil Nelson, and Carter's addition will make the Magic a strong contender for the Eastern Conference title next season.

For the Nets, they will achieve their goal of cutting expenses with this trade with the Magic. Both Alston and Tony Barty are in the final year of their contracts, and the Nets will free up $16.5 million in salary space in the summer of 2010, which would bring the Nets' total salary cap below the salary cap.

With this deal with the Magic, the Nets will save up to $40 million overall. If the deal goes through, Courtney Lee's arrival will provide the Nets with a young, promising young shooting guard.

The Minnesota Timberwolves completed a trade with the Denver Nuggets immediately after selecting North Carolina Carolina Ty Lawson with the 18th pick, and the Nuggets paid a chip for a future draft pick.

This was followed by a series of small trades, and the Cleveland Cavaliers officially signed free agent Anthony Parker, with terms yet to be announced.

Parker, 34, has a storied basketball career, having joined the NBA in 1997 with the 76ers. In 2000, he left the Magic to play in Europe, where he became one of Europe's greatest players, winning the Euroleague MVP during his time at the club. Parker signed a three-year contract with the Raptors in the summer of 2006, and last season Parker played in 80 regular-season games for the Raptors, averaging 10.7 points, four rebounds and 3.4 assists in 33 minutes per game.

Parker is the kind of swingman who can shoot and defend at the same time, but his excellent shooting skills and extensive game experience also make him not short of chasers, which can solve the Cavaliers' understature problem in the backcourt. By the time it comes to the Cavaliers, though, he could enter the game as a backup for Delonte West.

After acquiring Biedrins and signing a contract extension with Vallejo, the Cavaliers still have a lot of hope of winning a championship this season, which is clearly more tempting for the 34-year-old Parker than other teams.

Pacers guard Marquis Daniels has signed with the Celtics.

The 28-year-old Daniels is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 91 kilograms, and plays as a shooting guard on the court. In his first three seasons in the league, Daniels was mixed with the Mavericks, and despite being a non-draft player, Daniels proved himself with his on-court performances.

In the 06-07 season, Daniels moved to the Pacers. Over the course of three seasons with the Pacers, Daniels' stats have climbed. Last season, Daniels was heavily reused to gain a lot of playing time as the Pacers were riddled with injuries, averaging a career-high 13.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in 54 games for the team.

This summer, his contract with the Pacers expired and he became a full free agent. There have been a number of teams interested in competing for the ferocious shooting guard, including the Rockets.

The Rockets originally wanted to replace Weaver by bringing in Daniels, but in the end, the Celtics manager got his wish and snatched Daniels. It is understood that because the Celtics' salary space is already insufficient, if the Pacers do not agree to sign and trade, they can only provide Daniels with a two-year special salary of 1.9 million per year.

After signing Rasheed Wallace, the Green Shirts grabbed Daniels for a bargain, and then they only need to keep Glenn Davis, and the team's trade operation this summer can be considered a successful task. On paper, the Celtics' configuration already has the strength to challenge for the championship. In the new season, as long as the Green Shirts can play steadily and stay healthy, it will not be an extravagant hope to win the 18th championship in team history.
