Chapter 167: Blockbuster Joining!
On December 9, the free agent market officially opened, and the league had its first signing.
The Phoenix Suns signed free agent Shannon Brown on a one-year, $3.5 million contract, and during the Lakers period, Shannon Brown became a regular gangster on the bench with extremely powerful bounces and beautiful dunks, and also made a big name in the league.
On this day, there was no too hot signing, and the second subsequent signing was the signing of the Pistons and Prince Prince, who is 31 years old, and after signing this four-year, $27 million contract, it is very likely that he will end up in the Motor City.
At this time, Tang Wenlong and his teammates had been practicing together in Philadelphia for a week, and the two rookies were gradually becoming familiar with the 76ers' regular tactics with the help of the assistant coach.
This is a complex and long process, aside from the NBA public's tactics, the 76ers' own tactical system has a lot of unique styles, such as helping core player Tang Wenlong to contain and ambush in the bottom corner.
"Tang Wenlong's improvement on the defensive end is too obvious." Assistant coach Bob excitedly pulled out a week's worth of training stats and told head coach Collins.
Collins took the list, glanced at it, nodded, and had an irrepressible smile on his face, "This kid has really improved a lot in the summer, in fact, when the season was almost over last season, that is, when the playoffs, the defensive end already had the average level of the NBA, but now it seems that he has great potential on the defensive end, and attitude determines everything." ”
"I heard that I trained with Carmelo Anthony in the summer, and this guy always has unexpected moves, and he is obviously more comfortable and well-rounded on the offensive end." Bob said with a smile.
"We have a lot of hope for the new season. If you can sign that player. It's definitely time to wrestle with the Heat or the Bulls. "Corinthian is ambitious. Full of confidence.
"The player ......" Bob naturally knew who the head coach was talking about, and followed Collins' gaze and looked into the distance
The next day, the day after the free agency market opened, the league's trades and signings became more frequent.
For example, Maddie, who is concerned by Chinese fans, joined the Atlanta Hawks on a one-year veteran base salary contract, which is embarrassing, and he is recognized as the most talented player in history.
Second, the Western Youth Army Thunder renewed the contract of former three-point king Cook. Two years and 6.5 million left the hero of last season's Western Finals, the Bucks signed Mike Dunleavy, the Los Angeles Clippers signed Caron Butler for 3 years and 24 million, it is said that Butler will serve as the Clippers' starting small forward in the new season, and the sad injury champion Oden made his own choice and renewed his contract with the Trail Blazers for one year with an annual salary of 8.9 million.
The free agency market continues to heat up, with a contract extension just signed here and a new teammate brought in over there.
The Eastern Conference champions Heat are no small moves. Signed free agent Battier for a three-year, $9 million contract, and then the lightning finalized the signing of Eddie Curry. Strengthened the team's interior line.
Soon after, Sports Illustrated reporter Amick broke the news on his Weibo, claiming that the New York Knicks had offered last season's championship center Tyson Chandler a four-year, $60 million contract, and was now waiting for the interior super defender to nod.
Philadelphia fans can't sit still, how can there be news about teams all over the world, but our own team seems to have forgotten, even if we don't go to the free market to catch big fish, and the players whose contracts have expired have no intention of renewing their contracts.
What the heck?
Stefanski himself is going crazy, the Rockets offered a 4-year 55 million contract, and his side offered a 4-year 57 million contract, according to reason, he surpassed the Rockets, and it should be a sure win, but an "old friend" in the Grizzlies manager's office told him that the Grizzlies are very determined to keep Gasol Jr., and it is very likely to match the 76ers' offer, although this price has exceeded the current market value of Gasol Jr.
Chandler is infinitely close to signing with the Knicks, and among the three interior lines that he is most eager to strengthen, there is only such an option left, and Stefanschi took a deep breath, his mind very chaotic.
"Tang Wenlong is eager to win the championship, if there is no reinforcement operation and determination, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep him in a few years, and the boss's intention is obvious......"
Stephaus dialed the secretary's number, "Help me check how much salary space is left in the Grizzlies." ”
It didn't take long for Stefan Sch to receive a data sheet on his desk, and the salary price of everyone on the Grizzlies was on this piece of paper, and it was clear that there was only $3 million in salary space from the salary cap of $58.04 million, but Gasol played for the Grizzlies for three years and met the Bird terms.
Stefanski scratched his messy hair, how much should this be officially quoted?
The current situation is obvious, Gasol Jr. will not stay in the Grizzlies, but the psychological price of the Grizzlies is not clear, if it is only a little higher than the psychological price of the Grizzlies, then the Grizzlies will definitely match, if it exceeds too much, the Grizzlies luxury tax plus the loss is relatively large, then they will not match.
The advantage of the 76ers over the Rockets is that the 76ers still have a lot of room to get to the salary cap, and the Rockets have a ceiling of 55 million in four years, while the 76ers can be higher.
On December 11, the Magic and dunk king Richardson reached a verbal agreement that the two sides would sign a four-year, $25 million contract. Around the same time, the Clippers announced that they had matched the Golden State Warriors' four-year, $40 million offer to DeAndre Jordan.
Then in the Chandler scramble, the Knicks got the center at a high price, and the Mavericks gave the team away, and no one could understand what kind of medicine was sold in the Cuban gourd.
Bowler suddenly announced on Weibo that he had decided to sign with the Houston Rockets, and the center, who has maintained a very good form, has been given a four-year, 30 million contract. And he said on Weibo that he didn't get an offer from the 76ers after the season, and maybe the 76ers no longer need him.
Philadelphia fans, the fans who shouted for Stefanski's dismissal all popped up overnight, some left messages on the official website, some called directly to the 76ers' office, and even ran directly to the Vacovia Center Arena, the crowd was furious and difficult to reconcile.
Tang Wenlong and others, who were training in a closed camp, were taken aback.
"What's going on? Stefanski, this guy lost his panties in gambling? Tang Wenlong and the others all thought maliciously.
The outside world was arguing, and it didn't take long for Thaddeus Young to announce that he had reached a contract extension agreement with the Nets, worth 43 million yuan for 5 years!
Another main starter has left, are the 76ers ready to mess up this season?
The fans are on fire in their hearts, and even many experts who are optimistic about the 76ers are puzzled, and they don't understand how the 76ers gave up the two main forces.
Just when there was a lot of disturbance, everyone was crusading against the 76ers uniform group.
The 76ers suddenly announced that they had reached a contract with Grizzlies center Marc Gasol for a total contract price of $65 million over four years, but the Grizzlies decided not to match.
As soon as the news came out, everyone was in an uproar...... (To be continued.) )
