Chapter 198: Nicks' Dream Shattered

"Four years 61 million Pierce stays in the Boston Jerseys core unchanged to rush to the championship"

"The Eagle King's 119 million fat contract stayed in Atlanta, and Johnson said the Eagles were sincere"

"Nowitzki stays in Dallas City, Kuban makes the biggest bet to win the championship

……

In addition to the recruitment, the uniforms of each team each summer also have an important job to retain the team's important personnel, the Greeks have left the truth of the Big Three, Paul Pierce, the Hawks have controversially given Joe Johnson a 100 million dollar contract, and the Dallas Mavericks have also kept the German tank Nowitzki.

All of these uniforms have fulfilled this important task, and the prospect of an important free agent this summer has been set, and the Raptors have not been able to complete the contract extension of the core of the team, Chris Bosh, who did not choose teams such as Houston, but went to the Miami Heat.

On July 8, the free market was surging.

First of all, the news of Bosh joining the Heat has finally been confirmed. According to ESPN, Bosh and Heat star Wade held a press conference to announce that the two will play together for the Heat next season.

ESPN livestreamed the entire press conference, and Bosh enthusiastically said, "I'm going to join Wade's Miami Heat. ”

At the press conference, Bosh revealed the reason why he finally chose the Heat, it was Wade's enthusiasm that touched him, and they will definitely work hard for the championship, and Wade also said that he would not mind how much salary he scooped, and hoped that the team could bring in more players to strengthen the team.

Later, Bosh mentioned at the press conference that he hoped the Heat would build the team according to the Celtics' "Big Three" model. Does that mean James will also follow? Let's wait and see.

The New York Knicks were a little anxious at this time, and James Dolan gave Walsh a death order to bring LeBron James to New York under any conditions.

And there were several big news on the same day, "Little King" Kevin Durant told ESPN that he had reached a contract extension agreement with the Thunder, with a new contract for 5 years and a total value of up to $86 million. Durant left a message on his personal cyberspace: "God is so great, my family and I have set a long-term course. ”

Ray Allen, one of the Big Three, is also willing to renew his contract. Allen has agreed to return to the Celtics on a two-year, $20 million contract. However, Allen will have a player option in the second year of his contract.

Jazz power forward Carlos Boozer has decided to join the Chicago Bulls, and a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press that the two-time All-Star power forward has reached a deal with the Bulls and left the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, where he played six seasons. This was stated on condition of anonymity. The official contract will not be made public until Thursday, and the deal is the latest blockbuster deal since Devin Wade and Chris Bosh announced their team-up to join the Heat.

As the biggest name in the star-studded free agent market, LeBron James' whereabouts are still unknown. While everyone is waiting for him to announce the results on Thursday night, the Bulls have at least acquired Boozer so they won't be empty-handed, and the Bulls are hoping to get a big boost with these free agents. At the same time, having Boozer strengthens their competitiveness in the Eastern Conference and adds weight to attract James, who averaged 19.5 points and 11.2 rebounds per game last season. In this way, the Bulls have Noah on the inside and All-Star guard Derrick Rose on the outside. Interestingly. Jim, the younger brother of the Bulls' basketball operations manager Paxson, was the executive vice president of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Boozer promised to offer him a six-year, $41 million contract at the end of the Cavaliers' 0304 season, and Boozer accepted a six-year, $68 million contract as a restricted free agent and chose to leave Cleveland. …,

A day later, the biggest news of the summer came, with LeBron James joining the Miami Heat.

On July 9, 2010, according to LeBron James's announcement on ESPN TV in the United States, he will join the Miami Heat and form a big three with Wade, Bosh and others.

In this live TV show, which resembles an Olympic bid. James finally said the much-anticipated answer at about 9:30 a.m., that is, he will join the Miami Heat, and form the league's new Big Three with Wade and Bosh who stayed behind.

In fact, this news did not come as a surprise to many people, because as early as yesterday, after Wade and Bosh announced that they would join hands with the Miami Heat, several American reporters said that James wanted to defect to the two friends. However, because of the need for TV program ratings today, they are more cautious in their wording. Later, the nature of this rumor was changed from "basic affiliation" to "inclined to join".

Today is the day when James publicly announced his whereabouts, according to the original agreement, the live TV program officially started at nine o'clock in the morning Beijing time, but most of the time in the first half of the time was interviewed by many experts, and did not directly say James's whereabouts, until the time moved to about half past nine in the morning Beijing time, James finally said the name of the Miami Heat.

With the addition of James, the Heat team has also formed a new Big Three, Wade, Bosh and James are all superstars of the 03 generation, and the three of them are quite close to each other whether they are in the United States National Team or off the basketball court.

According to the 58 million salary cap stipulated by the league not long ago, and the starting salary of about $17 million for each of the three people, if all three of them scoop up the maximum salary, they have taken up $51 million of space for the Heat, plus the contracts of Beasley and Moneymoss, the Heat will only have a salary of about three or four million dollars to strengthen the team, so except for the Big Three and Beasley, most of the players on this team will be low contracts such as base salary, This will also have a big impact on the team's future results.

However, with these three people working together to go to the Miami Heat, a new pattern of the league will also be born, in the West is still the Lakers are dominant, the East is the world of the Magic, Celtics and Heat, scooping Boozer's Bulls and leaving Johnson also have a chance to threaten them, it seems that the pattern of the West is strong and the East is weak has been completely reversed this year.

James may have left Cleveland, Ohio, but he is not unforgiving about the city he has lived in for seven years. While announcing his arrival with the Heat, James made a parting speech to Cleveland fans.

"There's definitely a lot of emotion for the fans [in Cleveland], but for me, Akrona [in Ohio] will always be my home," James said. ”

However, James' remarks did not soothe the wounded hearts of Cleveland fans. According to television reports, at least one fan immediately burned James' No. 23 Cavaliers jersey. James said he can understand the irrational behavior of the fans, "I will not be affected, I just want to make the best decision for LeBron James." At the end of the day, I felt terrible, but the most regrettable thing for me was that I didn't win a championship for Cleveland in seven years. For those of me who are true fans, I hope you will continue to support my years in Miami. ”

It's not just Cleveland City that is disappointed, the New York Knicks are even more disappointed, and James Dolan is said to have smashed his office that day. …,

It can be said that the Knicks have been serving this summer in recent years, freeing up a huge amount of space, and the mayor of New York, Dolan and others have personally lobbied, and they have secretly prescribed a lot of conditions that can be achieved through secret means, but I didn't expect James to be so ignorant.

Many fans in New York City who prepared the Knicks' No. 23 James jersey burned it en masse at Madison Square Garden, as well as pictures of James and everything, and New Yorkers are no worse crazy than Clevelands.

However, without James, the chairman of the New York Knicks, Walsh, said that they were very disappointed that they could not sign James, but the team will continue to move forward, and the goal of winning the championship remains the same.

Regarding James's final choice to join the Miami Heat today and form a new Big Three with Wade and Bosh, Knicks Chairman Walsh is very sorry, saying:

"We're very disappointed that LeBron James didn't choose the New York Knicks in the end, but we'll respect his decision."

Although they missed out on the "Little Emperor", the New York Knicks still hope that the team can challenge for the championship in the new season. Walsh Says:

"Today we have Li Feng as the leader, he is no worse than LeBron, we have a lot of good players, and we will continue to move forward and bring the team back on track and enter the championship ranks."

Either way, the Knicks' dream of being emperor is shattered, and they will welcome a stronger Eastern Conference rival, the Miami Heat, which has been at loggerheads since the 90s, and is now even more incompatible.
