The whole city of Cleveland is excited about the team's big uniforms, and the frustration of last season's Eastern Conference Finals is now watching the rivals strengthen one by one.

Cavaliers fans can't help but worry that the team won't be able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals next season, but at this time, the original rumors turned out to be true, although the 5-year 50 million contract is indeed not small, compared to the Orlando Magic to the older Chaunce. Billups' five-year, 60 million Cavaliers fans are already very satisfied.

After all, Mike. Bibby is almost two years younger than Bilups, and some Cleveland media outlets have even taken Mike. Bibby compared it to Billups, directly praising the decision of the Cavaliers management, while also implicitly satirizing that the Orlando Magic was irrational in giving a 31-year-old man a big five-year contract.

And for the reinforcement of the team LeBron. James was in a good mood: "Mike is a great player, I watched him play when he was not in the league, I think his arrival will make us stronger, I can't wait for the start of the new season, I think next season will be very interesting, and of course it will be even better for the fans." ”

When asked by reporters about the Boston Celtics and the Orlando Magic who beat him last season, James was also full of confidence: "Yes, we were still behind them last season, so we lost, but now I think the whole of Cleveland has full confidence, we will prove ourselves in the new season, I respect every opponent but I will beat them with my teammates." ”

James' confidence is also a true reflection of the Clevelanders. Everyone knows that if nothing else, then next season the East will be the Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Boston Celtics triumph for supremacy. Even the New Jersey Nets and Miami Heat can complete the reinforcement.

Compared to the big moves of these three teams in the East. Only the Houston Rockets seem to be working for a championship in the West, and the big deal in the offseason is undoubtedly to sign Rashard. Lewis also used the somewhat redundant Battier to get Tony from the Magic. Barty as well as an extremely valuable top-five protected pick.

But with Mike. Bibby also went to Sacramento to Cleveland and was confirmed by Darrell. Morey's mood can be imagined.

No Artest, no Mike. Bibby, this Kings team will enter a complete rebuild, and the most hooping way to rebuild is to hoard draft picks in an attempt to pick potential rookies at a high pick, although the '07 draft has just passed, the quality of the '08 draft is still widely favored.

There is little doubt that the Kings will be in the swing, so as long as nothing else, the Kings have a good chance that Zuihou's record is in the bottom five of the league, and it is likely that the protected draft pick that the Rockets have acquired will be invalidated.

"No way. It's something we didn't expect, but we can only accept it, except for Tony. In addition to Barty, we have to strengthen the interior line, although Luis. Scola is good, but that's limited to his offense. Morey said to his assistant.

"Mikey. Moore and Eddie. Griffin is our new target, giving an offer of 9 million for 3 years. ”

"Are the two of you the same?" The assistant asked cautiously.

"Of course, is there more? We are about to exceed the luxury tax, and although we can continue to strengthen it, it is better to save as much as we can, don't you understand this truth? Go ahead! It is estimated that there are quite a few teams staring at the two of them. Morey said with a wave of his hand.

The assistant nodded and immediately exited Morey's office to Mickey. Moore and Eddie. Griffin's agent sent in their respective offers.

"Just sign another one and then Steve. Francis is back and everything is perfect. Next season belongs to the Rockets, and it's for me Darrell. Morey's! Morey clenched his fist.

However, as Morey said. Aim for Mikey. Moore and Eddie. There are quite a few people in Griffin, especially Mickey. Moles.

Last season, Mickey Brown, who played for the New Jersey Nets. Moore is doing well, averaging nearly 10 points and 5 rebounds in 26 minutes per game. Moore has a whopping 60% hit rate.

This kind of performance is basically not surprising, so that Mickey. Moore got an offer for a mid-range contract, and it's conceivable that the Rockets' offer would not have been able to impress Mickey at all. Moles.

Mickey. Moore's agent came to Boston when the Rockets made an offer to him, and he was about to meet Celtics general manager Danny Brown. Angie.

Although the team got Garnett, Ray. Allen has two superstars, but for the sake of these two superstars, the Celtics have almost given away all the players on the team who can play, and at the same time, the draft picks in their hands have been sent three years later.

What's more fatal is that the annual salaries of the three superstars directly make it difficult for the team to make up for it, although the team used 5 years and 30 million to sign James. Posey, but the starting salary in the first year of this contract is only 3.15 million a year, which is an arrangement that allows the team to use as much salary space as possible to make minor repairs.

At this moment he made an appointment to meet with Mickey. Moore's agent was in order to be able to get Mickey. Moore is a center forward who is not too expensive but has good strength.

Although Mickey. Moore's value is there, but after all, the team can't do without a center, although there is also a Kendrick in the team. Perkins.

But Danny. Angie's offer also failed to impress Mickey. Moore, in the end, the two sides failed to negotiate successfully, but Danny. Angie's appointment was caught by reporters, and soon the Celtics wanted Mickey. Moore's news came out.

The Big Three has already scared many teams, not to mention that the team continues to strengthen. Moore's agent failed to negotiate with the Celtics in the morning and received an offer from his old club, the New Jersey Nets, in the afternoon.

Eventually Mickey. After weighing it, Moore chose a three-year, $15 million contract to stay with his old club, which made Danny . Angie was very depressed.

And there aren't many interior players who can do well in the free market. Although Griffin performed well last season, when Garnett was absent, Eddie was one of the few interior players left. Griffin became the target of everyone's pursuit. Even Eddie. Griffin's negative press is scary. It also makes those teams who are trying to strengthen the team's interior willing to give it a try.

All of a sudden, Eddie. Griffin became a sweetheart. But Eddie, who was supposed to be happy. Griffin's agent, Brig, was not happy at all.

"Eddie, are you really going to Orlando, you know, Orlando can give you a lot less." Eddie. Griffin's agent, Brig, kindly persuaded him, that Griffin's choice was too much of a failure.

To know Eddie. Griffin is not very old, he is only 26 years old this year, and the average player at this age chooses the team either for position or money.

However, these days, the Orlando Magic have neither many positions nor more money than other teams, and Brigg, as an agent, really doesn't want Griffin to go to the Orlando Magic.

"No, where do I want to go. There was my brother there, and I could predict that I would be happy, and that I would not want to go anywhere else. "Eddie. Griffin shook his head and turned down the agent.

He also knows that a number of teams are interested in him, including his former club, the Houston Rockets, as well as the Boston Celtics with their Big Three and the San Antonio Spurs in the West.

All three teams have the potential to challenge for a championship, and the same thing is that these three teams have a lot of annual salaries, and the Orlando Magic is the only one that is higher than the Spurs in all the offers.

But the Orlando Magic's offer is only 7.5 million for 3 years, but the only advantage is that Zuihou has a player option for one year.

Bragg also tried to convince Griffin to give up on the Orlando Magic, but Eddie. Griffin was determined to choose magic, and for Eddie. For Griffin, it doesn't matter how much money you have. The important thing is that the magic has Lin Sen.

After so many years of coming to this league as a talented player, he slowly became a cancer in the eyes of countless teams. The former genius is gone, and only he knows what the reason is, and that is caused by his personality.

Griffin, who is biased towards the inside, doesn't seem to be at all in line with everything he does, but it is precisely because of his personality that he has no friends and asks him to numb himself through drugs and marijuana, and Lin Sen is the only friend he has been able to count as a friend for so many years, so he wants to go to magic.

Brig reluctantly gave up convincing Griffin, he had already made up his mind to give up Griffin after his contract with Griffin expired, and the headache brought him a lot of headaches, not to mention that there was no money to be made.

Shaking his head, Brigg left Griffin's house and dialed Otis. Smith's phone.

"Yes, Eddie agreed to Orlando's offer and hopefully he can play his part in Orlando." Brigg said in a stiff tone.

Otis on the other end of the phone. Smith doesn't care how bad his tone is, he cares if the team can sign Eddie. Griffin, before this, he was ready to raise the price, of course, all this was done to be able to make Lin Sen feel at ease, I have to say that this shows that the magic attaches great importance to Lin Sen.

That night, the Orlando Magic officially announced that they had joined the Timberwolves last season with free agent Eddie Murphy. Griffin agreed to a three-year contract extension, but the Magic did not announce Eddie. Griffin Contract Specifics.

The news once again made the heroes of the East and West depressed, especially Danny. Angie and he just set the target from Mickey. Moore put it on Eddie. Griffin, as a result, saw Eddie in half a day. Griffin became the man of magic.

Although Eddie. There was a lot of negative press about Griffin, but last season's Eddie. Griffin averaged 7.6 points per game for the Timberwolves while also grabbing 5.5 rebounds and dishing out 1.7 blocks.

Dwight. Howard, Darko. Milicic, Chris. Weber, Marsin. Gortat, Eddie. The Griffin Five will undoubtedly occupy the main playing time of the Magic's interior in the new season, and this deal is also regarded by most people as a piece of the Orlando Magic interior championship puzzle.

Small forward on Ron. Artest, Sean. Battier, Grant. Hill can play all three, while Artest can also play as a shooting guard or even swing to the power forward position, while Sean can play at the same time. Battier can also swing from small forward to power forward.

The Magic's starter for the new season on the guard line is undoubtedly Chauncey. Billups and Linson, plus Eddie on the bench. Jones and Devon. Brown and Carlos. Arroyo, the team's entire lineup is basically perfect. The only regret is that there is no real shooting guard.

And the thirteen-man season squad is basically confirmed. From the fans to the rest of the uniforms, it was basically decided that the Orlando Magic's reinforcement was almost over.

"Nell. My old friend, do you know who I am? ”

Nell who picked up the phone. Olshu was confused, how did he know who was on the other end of the line.

"I knew you didn't know who I was, I was Otis."

"Otis?" Neil. Olshu frowned suddenly, Otis. Smith has just opened the trade market this summer, and the team has been making a qualitative improvement compared to last season.

And his team wants to pursue the upcoming Portland Trail Blazers' buyout of Steve. Frances even offered a five-year, 25 million mid-class contract, but was rejected.

So far the team has done nothing, and the heart of the team, Elton. Brand underwent surgery after being seriously injured. And even if he returns, it won't be until the middle of next season or even longer.

Brand's injury also means that the Clippers' hopes of returning to the playoffs next season are once again slim, and he is considering whether the team should rebuild or wait for Brand's return first, while using the salary space after next season to make a difference.

"I didn't expect you to call, your Orlando has been very popular recently, why do you want to take care of me?" Neil. Olshu doesn't think Otis. Smith called him to set up a friendship.

"Of course, I've heard that Sean's injury is serious, and you don't have a point guard other than Sam, so I wanted to ask you if you want to?"

"What, are you going to give me Wood or Chauncey?" Neil. Olshu quipped.

"Nell, you're joking. Kenyon and Carlos were both our substitutes last season, but they are still quite good. It's just that they don't have a starting start, and their annual salary is not big, Kenyon wants to jump out of the contract, but I persuaded him, of course, if you need him, of course Carlos or Devon. "Otis. Smith's tone sounded generous.

Neil. Olshu is a quick analyst, although he knows Otis. Smith certainly didn't have any good intentions, but when you think about it, there are no players on his team worth the Magic to worry about. The three people Smith said did a remarkable job as guards last season, and the only real point guard on the Clippers' guard line next season is Sam, an alien who is about to turn 37. Kassel.

Although Sam. Kassel was in good form last season, but he has shown signs of aging and injuries have increased. Kassel played a full season and was in good form.

Recently, the team has also been in contact with veteran Clevin, who was cut by Charlotte Bobcats. Knight, but Knight is too short to be 1.78, in addition to the team's interest in Denver Nuggets' main point guard last season Steve Black, but Blake is unlikely to win without a full mid-range contract, which makes Nell Olshu unwilling.

"What, who do you have a crush on?"

"Sam, I know he played well last season, but his age is there, and I'm sure he's not going to be in your future, okay? You give me Sam and I can give you Devin and Kenyon or Devin and Carlos, or even Carlos and Kenyon, a variety of choices are earned for you, and you know that it is not easy to do our job, you have to face the pressure of the boss at the top and the pressure from the boss at the bottom. "Otis. Smith's tone suddenly became aggrieved.

"You know that our boss is about the same as your boss, and this year is unimaginably generous, but Wood. Lin he named Eddie. Griffin and Sam. Kassel, you also saw that we just signed Eddie. Griffin, do you know how much it cost us? ”

Don't wait for Nell, who has a resonance in her heart. Olshu spoke his guess, Otis. Smith continued: "12 million in 3 years, you said that how can such a troublesome player be worth so much money, but there is no way, Wood asked for it by name, do you say I can disagree, you also see that our internal line is actually very good, but there is no way to meet him can only compete with other teams, and finally use such an offer to win, do you say it is easy?" Now that he wants Sam, I can only come to beg you, even if I am the wronged boss and slaughtered by you, I can't help it. ”

Neil. Olshu also understands Otis in his heart. Smith, because the Clippers owner is much more stingy than the Magic owner, is recognized as the most critical in the league, although he also knows Otis. Smith has the ingredients for the outfit, but after a closer analysis, Sam. Casal has only one year left on his contract, and it's hard to say how he will be next season, while the Magic can give two good players on the fly.

I thought about it carefully. Olshu thinks the deal can be done, but he's not going to say yes right away: "I'll need to talk to the coach, but we're basically going to agree to send Sam to Orlando. ”

Get Nell. Olshu's answer to Otis. Smith breathed a sigh of relief, Sam. Although Cassel is older, he still has strength, and more importantly, he can teach Lin Sen a lot of things, which is the most important thing.

As for the German . Brown and Kenyon. Doolin or even Carlos. Arroyo was not on the team's roster in the first place, and one of the three was destined to be one of the team's rotations.

"Sign another veteran and we'll have everything done this summer." Otis. Smith yelled at Stan in front of him. Van Gundy said with a smile.

And Stan. Standing next to Van Gundy stood another person, and that person was last season's Houston Rockets head coach Jeff. Van Gundy.

Jeff. Van Gundy will become his older brother Stan next season. Van Gundy's assistant coach, which is also the penultimate piece of the Magic's four-piece puzzle next season.

Horror coaching staff, horror player lineup, Otis. Smith looked at the computer screen with a very determined gaze, and the computer desktop was the O'Brien Cup! (To be continued......)
