552. End of vacation

Wade joins Knicks? The contract is 31 million for two years? The first contract offered by Pat Riley, who was exposed, was 2 years 30 million? Then later, Pat Riley found out that Wade was leaving, and gave 40 million for two years, and Wade said that he didn't want to wait! didn't ask for the Knicks' highest salary, but also took the initiative to reduce the 18 million a year contract offered by the Knicks by 3 million a year!

When Liu Ren saw the news, he instantly felt Wade's arrogance!

Liu Ren thinks Wade is saying that I can take a pay cut, but you can't fool me!

Obviously, Pat Riley clearly wants to rely on Wade's popularity to sell tickets, and looking at the Heat's operation in the past two years, you can see that they don't really want to do big things. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even Wade is gone, and the Heat are now completely entering a rebuilding period.

And the Knicks did not stop the pace of reinforcement, first using the space left by Wade's salary cut to reach a multi-year agreement with the Raptors' free agent former Sixth Man of the Year Louis Williams to strengthen the lack of point guards, and last season Knicks fans and management were simply fed up with Calderon's cheating attributes, and then used the team's exception to reach a contract with a 1+1 second-year player option with Trail Blazers free agent Robin Lopets.

In the blink of an eye, the Knicks have formed a more competitive lineup than last season!

The Trail Blazers' invincible starting lineup completely collapsed, Matthews, Aldridge, and Lopets Jr. are all gone, and it's not over yet!

On July 22, the Hornets and Trail Blazers small forward Nicholas Batum reached a five-year, 120 million super contract.

Now the Trail Blazers started last season and in an instant, Lillard is left alone!

According to Fagan, the Rockets intend to trade Lillard with two first-round picks plus most of the team and the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers were already panicking at this time, and when they were eliminated by the Warriors in the playoffs, they gave Lillard a 5-year 120 million contract extension, but Lillard did not agree to renew the contract early, they were worried that Lillard would not renew the contract, and then ask to leave next season!

The Trail Blazers will be embarrassed at that point, and if Lillard is bent on leaving and doesn't commit to a contract extension, his trade value will drop dramatically.

So for the chips of the Rockets, the Trail Blazers are very tempted.

The Rockets are very active in the triumvirate that makes up Lillard, Harden, and Howard, in addition to Howard and Harden, they let the Trail Blazers pick at will, anyway, the Trail Blazers now have more than 40 million space, and anyone can ask for it directly, if the Trail Blazers are not satisfied with the Rockets' group of high-quality role players, the Rockets are even willing to replace role players with draft picks to the Trail Blazers, and the Trail Blazers are even more motivated.

The Rockets aren't worried that Lillard won't renew his contract when he arrives with them, just kidding, with a strong contender for the league's No. 1 quarterback and Howard's core combination, they're not afraid of Lillard leaving.

Just when Lillard was slow to agree to a contract extension, and the Trail Blazers were helpless to agree to the Rockets' trade request, Lillard finally chose to renew his contract with the Trail Blazers, and added a non-tradable clause for next season and the first year of his new contract.

Lillard didn't choose to renew his contract because he was considering whether to go with Aldridge.

But Lillard still doesn't want to be a player who can't be played in order to win, and the Trail Blazers are not as impersonal as Heat management, and offer him the biggest contract he can give.

The Rockets saw that the Big Three were about to be formed, and suddenly the Trail Blazers refused to trade and announced that they had reached a five-year, 120 million contract extension with Lillard!

The Rockets suddenly felt that the day was on the Timberwolves, and what about the Big Three! Didn't everyone talk about wanting to have an extra first round? How can you say that if you don't trade, you won't trade?

Just as Morey was pointing at the sky and scolding Paul Allen, he suddenly received intelligence from scouts that the Nuggets were throwing Lawson!

This Lillard can't get it back, and so can Lawson, who averaged 15 points and 10 assists per game last season! And he's a playmaker point guard, maybe better than Lillard!

Morey immediately contacted the Nuggets, he thought the Nuggets would open their mouths, who knew what the Nuggets wanted made Morey stunned......

……

……

On July 25, 2015, Liu Rengang and Xiao Niu, Big Lori, Little Lori, and Little Lori came back from a five-day trip to Malta, an island country, and saw the news.

Morey is very excited to announce that Lawson has joined the Rockets and Harden and Howard to form a big three!

If you look at last season's statistics, Lawson averaged 15 points, 10 assists and 3 rebounds per game, but only 2.5 turnovers, and the assist-to-turnover ratio of 4 to 1 is simply not too good.

Harden had 27 points, 5.7 rebounds and 7 assists last season, and although Howard was greatly degraded, he also had 15 points and 10.1 rebounds, and his role on the defensive end was still not small.

Together, these three players do have the posture of the Big Three, and fans are also exclaiming that the Rockets are really going to rise!

As for why the Nuggets only need a first-round pick from the Rockets next season and Papani Nikolaou, a backup small forward, and Nick Johnson and Joey Dorsey, two players on reciprocal contracts, people say it's Morey robbing!

Speaking of which, Morey was also puzzled, he didn't lower the price at all, and he didn't even negotiate, and of course he immediately agreed to the three players that the other party directly wanted.

The chick looked at the news on the TV and couldn't help but say, "This rocket is too lucky!" Can this chip be exchanged for Lawson? What are you doing with Kupchak, use Clarkson to replace Lawson! Clarkson is a lot better than the chips the Rockets gave him! ”

Clarkson for Lawson? The prescient Liu Ren complained infinitely in his heart, but if you look at the performance of last season, Clarkson's exchange for Lawson is simply not too profitable!

But if you look at the strength of the two next season, ten Lawsons can't add up to one Clarkson, and Lawson is still so expensive.

Speaking of which, in Liu Ren's original time and space, Lawson's performance after going to the Rockets is also a mystery that can never be solved, Liu Ren doesn't know why Lawson declined, there is no sign at all, he just turned 27 years old this year, and he is still rising in the past few years, and even the top point guard who rose to an average of two doubles per game last season said that the decline has declined, and it is not a phased decline, just like Noah and Gao Yuanyuan, he suddenly jumped off a cliff and fell to the freezing point.

When it comes to Gao Yuanyuan, there was a small trade that not much attention was paid to at the time of the wave of player contract extensions, and the Pacers traded with the Heat, posting a second-round pick to send Hibbert to the Heat......

Gao Yuanyuan's salary next season is 16 million, just as the Rockets don't want to pay Jeremy Lin 15 million, and the Pacers don't want to pay it......

The first choice of the best defensive player of the year has been traded and no one notices it, which is really embarrassing.

Regarding the chick's evaluation of Lawson and the "Big Three" of the Rockets, Liu Ren really doesn't know what to say, saying that Lawson will play like a lump of soaring next season? At this time, it is like a pen to say this!

This year's free agency market is the same as Liu Ren's memory, due to the crazy contract renewal of the Cavaliers and Pelicans, which led to the birth of a wave of big contracts, three or two transfers of those concerned free agents, the renewal of the contract, July has not ended, the free market is basically almost settled, except for Monroe, who became a complete free agent this year after the execution of the qualification offer last season, the rest are some small fish.

After returning home and resting for a day, Liu Ren decided to start training, and after a month of rest, his body was almost rusty.

On July 27, Liu Ren came to the Toyota Center, and he made an appointment with the team's trainer to make a training plan for him for the next two weeks, and in mid-August he will return to China and go to Europe to promote Nike.

Although no new agreement has been reached with Nike, Nike estimates that it will not be long before Under Armour offers Liu Ren are matched.

Under Armour, like last year, has made another offer for Nike's popular superstars this year.

Last year, Under Armour offered Durant a 10-year, 260 million sky-high endorsement contract, and Nike gritted its teeth and chose to match.

Of course, this is the total price, and there are many terms in it, such as All-Star, All-Star Team, scoring champion and even minimum appearances...... and so on, and so on, in order to get the full endorsement fee.

In fact, it is normal for Durant to get more than 10 million a year for his 10-year endorsement contract of 260 million, and if he doesn't get the MVP, it will be several million less, but who can win the MVP every year? So some of the terms are mostly decorations, which look foreign, but the price is also much higher than the endorsement fee that Durant should have.

But there is no way, Nike doesn't want to open this precedent for letting go of stars, Adi just let go of many stars because of the high price, and then most of the market for basketball shoes was snatched away by Nike.

This year, Under Armour is ready to raise the price of Liu Ren, giving Liu Ren a 10-year super contract of 380 million, and also promising Liu Ren the promise of establishing a sub-brand for him after five years of contract implementation!

Liu Ren's Chinese market and Asian market are much larger than Durant's, and Under Armour is confident that he can make more money after acquiring Liu Ren.

Under Armour's offer is not poisonous!

Just after the chick sent Under Armour's offer to Nike, she went on vacation with Liu Ren, and didn't even give Nike the opportunity to negotiate a price reduction.

Just the day before yesterday, Liu Ren's family had just returned to Los Angeles, and Nike didn't know where to receive the news of Liu Ren's return, so he immediately asked Linda to contact Xiaoniu and prepare to discuss the details of the endorsement in detail, so Liu Ren estimated that the publicity plan for next month would not change.

Before going to publicity, Liu Ren is ready to practice, in order to alleviate the psychological fatigue of basketball, Liu Ren has not touched basketball in the past month, except for watching the news, everything else related to basketball is put aside, you really have to practice well, don't be in too bad shape when you go to publicity, even if you lose face in Europe, lose face in front of the Chinese people, although Liu Ren is thick-skinned, he can't afford to lose this person!
