The Nets and Clippers are getting stronger, and as for the Lakers, in these days, in addition to re-signing Jimmy. Butler, and broke the news that Wang Feng was threatening the team, there was no other action.

On July 8, the Pistons signed Lakers guard Derrick for 2 years and 20 million. Ross.

Rose had a brief second spring with the Lakers, not only had a highlight moment of 50+ points in a single game, but also has been a consistent scoring output point on the Lakers' bench, which contributed to the Lakers' top of the regular season record and eventual championship.

At this time last year, Rose signed a one-year, 3 million contract with the Lakers, and with his current performance, it is obvious that 3 million can be passed.

The Lakers didn't match the Pistons' offer and watched Rose leave.

Immediately after that, Rajan. Rondo also chose to leave the team and joined the Atlanta Hawks for 2 years and 15 million.

In Wang Feng's opinion, Rose's price of 10 million a year is a bit expensive, and Rondo's 7.5 million a year is also not worth it, anyway, he has now strengthened his passing ability and passing IQ to 90, and chose a purple ten-cent badge, there is no point guard, he can also play a cameo point guard.

Therefore, the Lakers gave up the behavior of the two point guards, and Wang Feng did not say anything, and even faintly supported it.

After the departure of the two point guards, forward Larry Jr. Nance also announced his departure from the team.

Larry Jr. When Nance's rookie contract expired, he and his agent were leaning toward a multi-million-dollar contract, and then the Cleveland Cavaliers stepped in and offered a four-year, $45 million offer that the Lakers didn't choose to match.

Lakers fans are gradually getting a little unable to understand the Lakers' routines.

Other teams are trying to make up for it, but the Lakers team after winning the championship is a little flat, watching the championship squad being poached but indifferent.

But in fact, after the Lakers re-signed Jimmy Butler, there was little salary space left.

Butler's new max salary contract has a salary of $32.74 million in the first year, and Wang Feng's original four-year 118 million contract has reached its third year, and his salary in the 19-20 season is also as high as $31.7 million.

Wang Feng and Butler alone, the total salary reached 64.44 million.

In addition, next season will be Jordan. In the final year of Clarkson's second contract, the salary is 13.44 million.

Ingram 7.27 million, Kuzma 1.97 million, López 4 million.

The most embarrassing thing is that the Lakers signed Ruhr. Deng, who became a rubbish rotten contract, has now teamed up with Ruhr. Deng reached a buyout agreement until the next 21-22 season. Deng will also occupy 5 million salary space in the Lakers' salary cap every year.

All of this mess adds up, and the Lakers have received around $96 million in salaries, while the 19-20 salary cap is set at $109.14 million.

As a result, the Lakers have only $13 million left in salary space.

The problem is that the $13 million can't be used to sign just one player, because the current Lakers roster is only 6 players, and counting the two rookies selected this summer, there are only 8 players, and the Lakers need to have at least 12 players and a maximum of 15 players before the start of the new season.

Even if you count the middle-class exceptions that can break the salary cap, the Lakers need to sign at least four or seven more players for 18 million.

……

At present, the core team of the Lakers is here, with Wang Feng, Butler, Ingram, Kuzma and Lopez The main lineup, the team's basic competitiveness has been maintained, and the remaining players only need a little scoring ability and players who can score a little bit of points on the bench.

Originally, the Lakers still had Jordan. Clarkson, Jordan. Poole and others are role players in the rotation, and even if there are too many good players on the bench, they can't give too much playing time and opportunities.

After dealing with Butler's affairs, Wang Feng took a plane back to China.

As early as May 15, the men's national basketball team has begun to convene members of the national team to carry out a training camp of more than 3 months and 108 days.

The training list is as many as 20 people, including the backbone of the Chinese men's basketball team, such as UAE, Zhou Qi, Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei, Wang Zhelin, etc.

Because Wang Feng has to compete in the NBA playoffs, and considering the physical consumption of the high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs, the Basketball Association also postponed his arrival at the team and allowed Wang Feng to arrive at the training camp around mid-July.

Wang Feng, who returned to China, went home to accompany his family for a few days as usual, and then participated in interviews with several TV stations and media, and then went to the national team training camp to report.

On July 20, Wang Feng officially returned to the team.

The news of Wang Feng's report to the national team soon appeared on the hot search, and it also reassured Chinese fans.

Wang Feng, who is the NBA regular season, All-Star, and three-time MVP of the Finals, is now recognized as the first person in the NBA, and it is not too much to say that he is the first person in the world basketball world.

At present, the Huaguo men's basketball team is in the top five in the world men's basketball rankings, almost relying on Wang Feng's prestige.

If there is no Wang Feng, the Huaguo men's basketball team may even be in the top 20.

Sometimes a star exaggerates the improvement of a team.

It is precisely because of the existence of Wang Feng that the majority of Chinese fans vaguely see hope - the hope of winning the World Series!

This is not speculation.

Approaching the end of July, the list of the United States men's basketball team began to gradually surface.

It's the same as another plane.

James, Curry, Durant, Leonard, George and many other league stars have publicly announced their withdrawal from the national team.

The quality of the players involved in the men's national basketball team's training camp continued to decline, and soon only Kemba remained. Walker's sidepiece team.

Although in the NBA, even ordinary starter-level players are at a first-class level in international leagues, the weakness of this United States men's basketball team is also visible to the naked eye, and it is not even much stronger than Spain, France and other teams.

As the host, the Huaguo men's basketball team has the right time and place, plus Wang Feng, who has just won the NBA championship and is at his peak, has every chance to win the championship of the men's basketball World Cup!

Men's Basketball World Cup Champion ...... If it was before, people might not dare to think about it.

After all, before that, the predecessor of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Men's Basketball World Cup, the best result in history in the World Championships was only the quarterfinals.

But now is different from the past, who would dare to imagine that the Chinese men's basketball team could actually win the silver medal on the Olympic stage?
