Who will the Cavaliers play next season?

Don't say it's a knight, okay?

Now even he, Wang Shuo, feels that his brain is wide.

Originally, Wang Shuo was still thinking about returning to the East this time, even if it was the Knicks, he was confident that he would lead them back to the playoffs.

Because as far as he remembers the eastern part of this period, isn't it just a group of rookies pecking at each other?

But now......

Confidence, Wang Shuo certainly has.

It is this difficulty that has obviously been adjusted from normal mode to hell mode.

On the 4th, the trade between the Heat and the Lakers was not much different from what Wang Shuo remembers.

Failed to recruit Wang Shuo this summer, so it was naturally impossible for the old Bass to keep O'Neill.

In addition, the Lakers do not want to give O'Neal to a competitor in the West, so among the potential trade partners in the East, Pat Riley's identity as "my Lake celebrity" plays a crucial role.

Of course, Riley's chips to the Lakers are also the more conscientious among potential trade partners.

According to the agreement, the Heat will send Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, Bryan Grant and a future first-round pick and a second-round pick to the team, as well as O'Neal from the Lakers.

"Shark" travels east, and the Heat will definitely become one of the favorites in the East next season.

If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, the Heat reached the Eastern Conference finals in the 04/05 season and successfully won the championship in the 05/06 season.

I have to say that in the first three years of Wade's career, he took the script of the actor.

In his first year, he entered the league for the first time, and while he was relegating, he made it to the second round of the playoffs with the team.

The following year, he teamed up with O'Neal, and although he lost the East Finals, Wade also successfully gained valuable experience.

In the third year, he won the league and won the MVP of the finals as the boss of the team.

However, the embarrassing thing is ......

Even with Wade, he still can't escape the fate of becoming a CBA teammate in the future.

I don't know if in the dead of night in the future, Wade will think about the past while puffing out his cheeks to give himself a knife?

The story of the Gills is not listed for the time being.

On the 5th, the Celtics made two "earthquake-level" transactions with the Timberwolves and Magic, which successfully shook the league.

According to the agreement, in the trade with the Timberwolves, the Celtics will send Reeve Lafrentz, Wang Zhizhi, Jumaine Jones, Delonte West, and the team's 2005 first-round pick and the team's 2006 second-round pick, and get All-Star power forward, Kevin Garnett, from the Timberwolves through a sign-and-trade deal!

Because in this deal, Garnett knew that the Celtics would have to keep their chips in exchange for Maddy......

Therefore, in the case that he can join the Celtics directly as a full free agent, the Timberwolves management did not dare to open up to the Celtics Lions.

In this deal, the only thing the Timberwolves earned was Wang Zhizhi.

Last season, in the series against the Nets, Dazhi, who scored the game-winning goal for the Celtics, is currently very popular in China, and the Timberwolves management plans to use Dazhi to make a little money in the next rebuilding process.

In addition, although Minnesota fans have long been mentally prepared for Garnett's departure, this time, Garnett's departure has not been blessed by Timberwolves fans.

The reason is that during the trade with the Celtics, his active price reduction made the Timberwolves not get enough revival fire.

Timberwolves fans understand Garnett and think he did leave something for the team.

But now, Minnesota has to look ahead!

And on the 5th, in a trade with the Magic, the Celtics sent Ricky Davis, Mark Blunt, Marcus Banks, Yeri Welshko, Walter McCarty and the team's 2007 first-round pick and the team's 2008 second-round pick, from the Orlando Magic in exchange for All-Star point guard, Tracey McGrady.

With the lack of a first-round pick this year, and Maddy's dissatisfaction with the current state of the team, the Magic are already planning to start over.

Therefore, for Maddie, who is bent on leaving, the Magic management did not force it to stay.

Thanks to the Celtics' extremely happy basketball atmosphere in recent years, last season, McCarty, Wershko, and Banks, who can shoot three-pointers, all played good statistics.

Mark Blunt, who plays as a center and is 213 cm tall, averaged 10.4 points and 7.8 rebounds per game for the Celtics in the regular season last season, and averaged 12.4 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in the playoffs.

In addition, for the Magic, who are looking to rebuild, Davis is an excellent candidate for the team.

Next season, he will earn just over $5 million, which is cost-effective and guaranteed to swoop the championship with the Magic.

Later on the 5th, the Celtics also signed Gary Payton from the free agent market.

As Wang Shuo remembers, after O'Neal left, Payton, who knew that Los Angeles had changed, did not choose to stay with the Lakers.

Originally, the Knicks also made an offer to Payton.

But Payton replied to the Knicks: "I can't join a team that has no future!" Even if I die in this life, I can't join the Knicks! ”

At this point, the Celtic squad for next season has taken shape.

In addition to Garnett, Pierce, Maddie, Payton, they also have young talents like Perkins and Tony Allen.

There is no doubt that with the "Wolf King" fleeing east, the Celtics have become another favorite for the new season.

This summer, a number of teams have made drastic changes to their rosters.

The free agent market has just opened, and the Heat and Celtics have successively stolen attention from Wang Shuo.

So now the question arises......

What are the Knicks busy with this summer?

"Antonio's agent said that he is not ready to renew his contract this summer because we can't offer him a contract with an annual salary of more than 10 million yuan." On this day, Ryaden, the general manager of the Knicks, said to Wang Shuo helplessly.

Hearing this, Wang Shuo immediately became popular!

Yes, when you Antonio McDyce was at his peak, he was really a star power forward.

But buddy, don't you know that you've only played 40 games in the last three seasons because of injuries?

Although the Knicks' lineup is full of "Sleeping Dragons and Phoenix Chicks", if you say who Wang Shuo wants to keep......

Then McDyce is really one of them.

At the peak of his career, McDyce averaged a "20+12" star forward data per game, although after suffering a major injury in the 01/02 season, McDyce only played 40 games in the last three years, but if Wang Shuo remembers correctly, McDyce will still successfully rejuvenate his second spring in the Pistons in the future.

McDyce has a solid mid-range shot and has a good sense of defense.

Wang Shuo originally thought that a middle-class job would be able to handle McDyce.

But who would have thought that in addition to the general managers of other teams, the Knicks' players also treated the Knicks as wronged.

"Also, Charlie Ward's agent said that if we can't give him a full middle class, then he doesn't plan to renew his contract with us." In the general manager's office, Lei Deng continued to say to Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo: "......"

Rayden, Raidon!

What do you want your buddy to say?

If it weren't for the fact that in the past few years, you have made random contract renewal offers to players, buddy, would I have such a headache now?

Of course, unlike McDyes, Wang Shuoda had no intention of renewing Ward's contract from the beginning.

As Van Gundy's former "love sauce", Ward, who is 188 cm tall, can shoot three-pointers and defend.

But in Wang Shuo's opinion, such an excellent Ward, he still plans to leave it to Van Gundy to use for himself.

There is no other reason.

Ward is 33 years old this year, with his old arms and legs, who else can he defend against now?

Wang Shuo found out that the Knicks team can only have a little possibility of rising if they are cleaned from head to toe.

McDyce and Ward asked the team for a high salary this summer before they were willing to stay with the team, which is to recognize that the Knicks management is the only wronged leader in the league.

Therefore......

In this case, Wang Shuo didn't bother to come forward to keep it, anyway, he should clear the salary space for Duncan in advance for future fishing.

Outcome......

McDyce, who never expected the Knicks uniform team to be so tough this time, turned around and signed a two-year veteran base salary with the Pistons.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, due to the Suns and Knicks' deal with Marbury and Hardaway, McDece was sent to Phoenix and accepted the return of Phoenix "Repair Factory" for overhaul......

So, in the summer of 2004, the Pistons, who thought he had a chance of a second spring, were willing to offer him a mid-range job.

But now, without that return to the factory for overhaul, how can McDyce's pistons, which are not guaranteed to be able to rejuvenate the second spring, provide him with a valuable middle class?

As for Ward, it is the same as Wang Shuo's memory, after failing to renew his contract with the Knicks, he immediately ran to Houston and threw himself into the arms of Van Gundy.

On the 7th, another big deal took place in the league.

After sending Jonathan Bender, Jamal Tinsley, Austin Crohill and the team's 2006 first-round pick, the Pacers traded back to Baron Davis from the Eastern Conference to the Western Conference Hornets for the season.

With the deal completed, the Pacers, who have O'Neal Jr. and Davis Jr., as well as Al Harrington and Reggie Miller, have gone from a playoff-caliber team to the top team in the East.

In the new season, the Wild East has been added! (Wang Shuo, James: ...... ）

Later on the 7th, the Wizards also signed Larry Hughes from the free agent market with a five-year, $50 million offer.

In this life, under the influence of Wang Shuo, after the end of the child labor contract with the Warriors, because he failed to join the Wizards in the 02/03 season as in history, Hughes accepted the one-year qualification offer made to him by the Warriors, and renewed with the Warriors for another year last year.

Last season, Hughes averaged "18+4+4" data for the Warriors per game, and as a guard with excellent offense and defense, the Cavaliers also extended an olive branch to Hughes this summer.

But after comparing the lineups of the Cavaliers and the Wizards, Hughes didn't hesitate to join the Wizards.

Wang Shuo knew that the Wizards were planning to take advantage of the fact that Gasol and Arenas had one year left on their child labor contracts, and wanted to do a big job to recast Washington's former glory.

Can......

Looking at Arenas, Hughes, and Marbury in the current Wizards lineup......

Wang Shuo is very puzzled!

Could it be that Coach Rivers is planning to play three point guards next season?

In addition, early on the morning of the 8th, the Dallas Mavericks also signed Jason Terry, nicknamed "Jets", on the free agent market.

In the past two days, Wang Shuo, who has been worried about the Knicks lineup, immediately changed his mind after noticing that the Hornets and the Pacers had completed the trade.

Because as the Hornets plan to rebuild and trade away the "bearded" Davis, Wang Shuo is worried that Jr. Smith will play beautiful statistics in the new season because of the ample playing time.

Therefore, Wang Shuo immediately asked Rayden to ask the Hornets management for the price.

Wang Shuo knows very well that no matter whether Jr. Smith has this or that problem, he is the best solution that the Knicks can choose at the moment.

It's athletic and has a soft shot.

Moreover, in the third season of his career, after joining the Nuggets, he shot nearly 4 percent of three-point shooting, and averaged 2.4 three-pointers per game for the Nuggets.

Wang Shuo's coaching team has the great god of England, and Wang Shuo is not worried that Smith will not be able to practice three points.

As for the properties of its nerve knife?

Laughing to death, just the current Knicks, how dare he Wang Shuo pick and choose?

You can't just go on until 2011 and wait for Klay Thompson to join the league, right?

On the 8th, after Raiden asked the Hornets management about the price, Wang Shuo also got a good news and a bad news respectively.

The good news is that the Hornets are willing to trade J.R. Smith.

The bad news is that the Hornets hope the Knicks will be sympathetic to their difficulties as a small team in this trade.

"Do you think the price we gave is too low?" Wang Shuo said.

"They want us to add Deacon Beyam Mutombo to the deal in addition to Tim Thomas.

Also, if they could, they wanted our 2008 first-round pick. Raidon said with a depressed expression.

As the only player with a little bit of value in the Knicks' current roster, Tim Thomas, who is 208 cm tall and weighs 108 kilograms, can play the No. 4 position on the court and can also swing to the No. 3 position.

Not only can he shoot three-pointers, but he also has a hand-shot.

Last season, after being traded back from the Bucks by Raidon, he averaged about 14 points per game for the Knicks, and the 27-year-old is also in his prime.

But again......

Because Tim Thomas' salary will be a whopping $12.9 million next season......

So this guy is destined to be a high-end product that this new Knicks can't afford.

And the reason why the Hornets fancy Thomas is because Thomas's premium contract expires in the summer of '06.

For the Knicks, if they want to get Duncan done in the summer of '05, they'll have to find a way to send Thomas away before the end of the following season.

But the wasp is different.

Because the Hornets are going to put it on the wrong for a year or two, Tim Thomas' contract is just right for them.

He has a decent amount of immediate power, and if the Hornets don't feel comfortable a year later, Thomas' premium contract will be right into the contract year.

As for Mutombo, the reason why the Hornets want Uncle Mu is simply because they are missing an experienced center in their current roster.

In addition, Mutombo's contract will expire in the summer of '05.

Even if the Hornets eat Uncle Mu's contract, they don't have to worry that Uncle Mu's contract will affect the team's rebuild.

Anyway, if you use it, you will continue it next summer, and if you don't use it, then the contract will expire and Uncle Mu will leave.

"How dare they ask for Tim and Deacon Bay, and they still want our 2008 first-round pick?" Wang Shuo was shocked, completely shocked.

Because he thought that other teams in the league would treat the Knicks as the wronged leader, but he never expected that the Knicks would not even be able to compare to Peppa Pig in the minds of other team general managers!

This TM is treating people as wronged!

This is clearly telling you that in my eyes, you are stupid than two hundred and five, and if you don't accept it, don't trade with me!

At this moment, Wang Shuo felt that even if the Knicks management collectively disemboweled, it would be difficult to wash away their past sins.

"There's no way I'm going to give what chips we have left for a rookie." Wang Shuo said to Raiden.

After a pause, Thunderbolt said: "Hornets management said that considering that we also have our difficulties, they are willing to add David West to this deal. ”

Wang Shuo's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "What did you say? ”

In the general manager's office, looking at Wang Shuo, who was suddenly out of control, Lei Deng hurriedly said, "I...... I'm going to say no to the Wasp, you...... Don't be angry! ”

No, no, no!

Refuse?

Why refuse?

Looking at Raiden, Wang Shuo said, "Are you sure it's David West from Xavier University?" ”

Lei Deng, who was stunned by Wang Shuo, nodded again and again.

Oh my God!

O earth!

Thanks to the wasp veteran!

The Knicks' bad game of chess has finally been revitalized!

In Wang Shuo's previous life, as a star power forward who was able to cut "20+8" per game at the peak of his career, West not only had a good sense of blocking and dismantling, strong ability to execute tactics, but also had a fairly stable mid-range shot.

Don't look at the current West, who was only able to score about 4 points and 4 rebounds for the Hornets last season, but when Chris Paul enters the league next season, West's average data per game will immediately skyrocket to 17.1 points per game, plus 7.4 rebounds!

West's stats can skyrocket next season, of course, it has something to do with the "God of Point Guards".

But you must know that in the sport of basketball, the most basic skill of blocking and dismantling is a skill that countless insiders cannot comprehend its essence in a lifetime!

In fact, West, who played for four years in college, already had excellent tactical awareness and physical condition when he entered the league.

And, in the second season of his career, his mid-range shooting percentage was already quite impressive.

Wang Shuo knows very well that the reason why West can only continue to mess around by the water cooler in the next season is not because he has no strength, but because the Hornets management has to sell PJ Brown, a veteran, to save face.

In addition, West, who is only 24 years old at this time, also has a certain degree of athleticism, coupled with his sense of defensive position, in Wang Shuo's view, this is simply the perfect power forward that God gave to the Knicks to partner with Yao Ming!

Moreover, even if Duncan is caught next season, Yao Ming, Duncan, and West can be compatible!

Because when Yao Ming is off, Duncan can partner with West, and when Duncan is off, Yao Ming can be paired with West!

In this life, although Yao Ming's weight is not as exaggerated as Wang Shuo's memory, his weight of 134 kilograms also determines that if you frequently let Yao Ming block and dismantle his teammates in the game, then at the critical moment, this Yao Ming's physical fitness cannot be fully guaranteed.

But with West, it's different.

Because this guy can take on most of the blocking and dismantling work, while he can open up space for Yao Ming, his excellent blocking and dismantling awareness can also perfectly guarantee the success rate of the Knicks' tactical launch!

Wang Shuo didn't expect that in order to blackmail the Knicks, the Hornets would give the best assist target of Chris Paul during the Hornets period to the Knicks.

But it's also ......

After all, the Hornets at this time, how did they know that they would pick the "God of Point Guard" next year?

Coupled with West's age when he entered the league, it makes sense for the Hornets to use him as an addition in this deal.

"Tell the Wasps that we agree to a deal!" After thinking about it in his heart, Wang Shuo, who knew that after this village, there might not be this shop anymore, said to Lei Deng very decisively.

In Wang Shuo's opinion, the Knicks made a lot of money in this deal with the Hornets!

Because after clearing out Tim Thomas's premium contract that will only expire in the summer of '06, the Knicks only need to solve the problem of Alan Houston next season, then the Knicks can free up enough salary space to fish for Tim Duncan in the summer of '05!

And after replacing Jr. Smith and David West, the Knicks' lineup for the new season has also undergone a qualitative change!

Although in terms of substitutions, Wang Shuo may still have to use the original group of uncles from the Knicks.

But with Yao Ming and West on the inside, in Wang Shuo's view, he only needs to find another veteran who can control the court, and he is confident that he will lead the Knicks back to the playoffs next season!

On the 9th, the Knicks' trade with the Hornets was officially concluded.

After sending Tim Thomas, Deacembe Mutombo, and the team's 2008 first-round pick, the Knicks traded back J.R. Smith and David West from the Hornets.

As soon as this deal came out, Knicks fans were in an uproar!

Originally, in the past two days, Knicks fans are still struggling with Howard for Yao Ming, whether they lost or earned.

But considering that Yao Mingming is already a veritable super center, although the Knicks management failed to keep Howard, the "big dream successor", in the Big Apple as they originally envisioned, Knicks fans did not criticize the Knicks management too hard.

But that's no longer the case.

Scott Reden, old thief, don't you feel sorry if you're really a cub selling Ye Tian!

What do you do this sb trading?

Could it be that you expect Yao Ming to play the opposite five alone next season?

Knicks fans are already mad at Raiden.

Because in their opinion, no matter how strong Yao Ming is, it is impossible for him to bring a group of rookies and a group of players who have been recognized as "waste" by Knicks fans to the NBA.

Previously, those Chinese fans who supported Yao Ming to leave Houston and start over in a different place were also angry with the Knicks.

Well, compared to Houston XX, the New York Knicks are really not bad for money.

But here's the problem......

They're stupid!

In New York, Stern also felt like he was going crazy.

Because where would he have thought that Yao Ming, a cash cow, would actually be planted on such a piece of poop as Nix. (Poop: I feel offended)

Be.

New York is the largest city in the United States.

Be.

When Yao Ming was first traded to the Knicks, Stern did expect that Yao Ming and New York could achieve each other, use each other's value, and create greater value for the NBA.

But......

Knicks, what the hell are you doing?

Can you prepare a few normal teammates for Yao Ming?

In Stern's opinion, he really doesn't demand much from this Knicks team.

Because in his eyes......

As long as Yao Ming can lead the Knicks back to the playoffs, then Yao Ming will undoubtedly become the savior of New York, and Yao Ming can also take over the torch from O'Neal and officially become the league's No. 1 center.

But this current Knicks ......

Well, in Stern's eyes, even if Wang Shuo is invited to coach them, there is no hope at all.

"Mark, is there anything else we can do to help the Knicks right now?" On this day, Stern stopped pretending or acting, and directly expressed his attitude to his assistant Mark.

In any case, the league will have to find a way to lift the Knicks.

Otherwise, if you really let the Knicks continue to rot like this, they will have a ......

But the whole Chinese market!

After pondering for a moment, Mark said, "The biggest trouble for the Knicks right now is their salary space.

Alan Houston's total salary next season will reach $17.53 million, and his contract with the Knicks doesn't expire until the summer of 2007.

But last season, due to injury, he only played less than 20 games for the Knicks.

In addition, he is still recovering from his injuries and does not know when he will be able to return. ”

In this life, Wang Shuo's previous joke with Lei Deng, "As long as you can help me get Yao Ming and Duncan, I will come to New York to coach" also affected Alan Houston.

In order to play badly, the Knicks only played Houston in 18 games last season.

However, the long vacation not only failed to allow Houston to heal his old injury, but also caused his injury to deteriorate because he wanted to prove himself after his comeback.

As early as a few days ago, Knicks officials have announced that Houston will have a high probability of missing all games of the new season.

No doubt.

In this era when the hard salary cap is only $44 million, Houston's contract has become the biggest obstacle to the Knicks' reinforcement.

Due to its repeated injuries, in the original historical line, Houston will even officially announce his retirement before the start of the 05/06 season.

But because of the retirement of players at this time, their salaries will also be included in the team's salary cap.

Therefore, in order not to blind the Knicks to even a little hope, the league introduced the famous "Alan Houston Clause".

This clause allows a team to use this clause to cut any player per season, and the player's salary will not be used against the team's salary cap.

Of course, if the player who is "amnesty" signs a fully guaranteed contract with the team, the team will still have to continue to pay him wages.

In addition, prior to the 2011 shutdown, the "Alan Houston Clause" had no restrictions other than that it could only be used once per season.

New York, NBA headquarters, looking at Mark, Stern said after a long silence: "I plan to hold a meeting of the bosses tomorrow, and we must issue an 'amnesty' clause for Alan Houston's 'special situation'!" ”

Mark nodded, "David, I guess that's the only way we can help the Knicks." ”

After a long sigh, Stern said, "I hope the Knicks can take advantage of this amnesty, I really ......"

Mark laughed and said, "David, I can completely understand your feelings. ”

In July, after the deal with the Hornets was completed, Wang Shuo immediately got in touch with David West in private.

Originally, when he learned that he was traded to the Knicks, West was still confused about his future.

Unlike other NBA players, West is a thoughtful player, so he knows exactly what kind of team the Knicks are.

What West didn't expect was that on this day, he actually received a call from the legendary NBA coach, Wang Shuo!

"Next season, I'm going to be the head coach of the Knicks, and you're what I named and traded.

I'd like you to come to New York this summer, and I'd like to create a training plan for you based on your characteristics.

You'll be a key part of my roster next season, and of course, I want you to keep that a secret until I sign with the Knicks. On the phone, Wang Shuo said to West.

And then......

West immediately packed up his baggage and went to New York without looking back!

At this moment, how can West still have his previous concerns?

At this moment, all he could think about was to arrive in New York and accept the man's temptation!

As a result, upon arriving in New York, West found ......

Before he could chat with Wang Shuo, Yao Ming and Xiao Si successively issued him an invitation to "One V One Real Man War".

Because these days, in the training camp, Yao Ming and Xiao Si, the two brothers, can't break each other's moves, so they have been looking forward to Wang Shuo finding them a new sandbag.

Also, on this day, in addition to West.

J.R. Smith, who was traded to New York with West, also came to training camp to receive shooting coaching from England.

Although Wang Shuo was in his previous life, people would always sigh involuntarily when mentioning Jr. Smith:

If only this thing could have a brain, how good would it be?

But as a hardcore Jammy, Wang Shuo is also very clear that because of the relationship with someone who has been teammates, many of Jr. Smith's own shortcomings have been infinitely magnified.

Actually, J.R. Smith wasn't as bad as one might think.

After building up enough prestige through the triple crown in three years, Wang Shuo is confident that he can train Jr. Smith.

It doesn't matter if he has an occasional brain pump.

Because in the future, after putting together the "Yao Deng" combination, Wang Shuo really can't let him bring a substitute.

Wang Shuo knew very well that Rome could not be built in a day.

So before deciding to coach the Knicks, he was ready early on and had to spend more time preparing for the development of young players.

"Both Yao and Amare have improved more than I expected.

Especially Yao, he is simply a natural shooter!

In the new season, his step-back jumper is sure to surprise everyone. On this day, when commenting on Yao Ming's recent training results, Grover commented.

At this moment, looking at the "Republic Tyrannosaurus Rex" on the court, which had almost beaten West, Wang Shuo couldn't help but thank Van Gundy in his heart.

Although at this moment, Van Gundy is likely to be out to explain the finals for him, and when he gets home, Yao Ming will become Howard and can't touch his hair......

But last season, Yao Ming's growth rate was really related to the fact that Van Gundy gave him more opportunities in the game.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Van Gundy is not the kind of coach who will only let Yao Ming play inside.

After all, during his time when he coached the Knicks, wasn't Ewing also a fight-and-retreat style of play?

It's just that Van Gundy is not good at developing players, and he will use whatever style of player you give him.

In this life, Yao Ming obviously trusts Wang Shuo more than his own team.

As a result, he was destined to take a very different path.

"David's technical completion is already very high, and I will assign him a physical training plan this summer.

Let him gain another 2 to 3 kilograms of muscle while lowering his body fat percentage. After observing West's training for a day, Grover said to Wang Shuo.

"Trevor and Chris, who are currently playing in Summer League, I've seen their scouting reports.

Chris needs to adapt to the NBA's three-point line as quickly as possible under Chip's guidance.

Trevor needs to build muscle, and his size determines that he can't hang too much flesh, but now he is really too thin. After a pause, Grover continued.

Hearing this, Wang Shuo nodded and said, "Next, I will rest for a while, and in these two days, their training will be handed over to you." ”

……

In July, due to the earthquake this summer, there were waves.

So there has been a lot less discussion about where Wang Shuo will go recently.

It's not because people don't care where Wang Shuo goes......

It's just because, with the previous Los Angeles media, the news that Wang Shuo will join the Lakers in the new season has become fake news after the Lakers' official stone hammer......

So before Wang Shuo personally announced his whereabouts, people were tired of the media's use of Wang Shuo to complete KPIs.

After initially clearing the Knicks' salary space, Wang Shuo, who knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, also went to Rio de Janeiro with Ambrosiou to experience the customs of Brazil according to his plan this summer.

On this vacation, Wang Shuo was very impressed by the enthusiasm of the Brazilian sister paper.

However, within a few days of staying in Rio de Janeiro with Ambrosio, Wang Shuo was dragged back to New York by Ambrosio.

"The security in Rio de Janeiro is really not good, let's go back quickly!"

But......

Just a few days after returning to New York, Ambrosio discovered ...... in a trance

New York is not "safer" than Rio de Janeiro!

In this regard, Ambrosio, who was already numb, knew that he could only silently accept the reality that Wang Shuo had met a "new friend" in New York.

After all, who made this man so attractive?

Moreover, Ambrosio was well aware......

Wang Shuo's new friend is indeed so talented in some aspects.

And in late July, while Wang Shuo was busy having in-depth exchanges with this "new friend", Scott Redden, who has never been involved in personnel, also brought him good news and bad news on this day.

The bad news is that Wang Shuo gave him the players on the list before, and he didn't negotiate any of them.

The reason is that as soon as the other party heard that the Knicks wanted to sign him, they immediately doubled the offer they wanted.

However, Wang Shuo, who had already been fully mentally prepared for this, was not angry at all.

For it is useful to be angry......

The Knicks have already won the championship!

"The good news?" Wang Shuo looked at Lei Deng and asked.

After a pause, Redden said: "The owner just came back from a meeting and he said that the league will introduce an 'amnesty' clause before the start of the new season, at which time, we can cut any player in the roster and that player's salary will not be counted towards the salary cap." ”

Hearing this, Wang Shuo immediately came to his senses!

Because he never expected that the "Alan Houston Clause" would be a whole year ahead of schedule!

Wang Shuo knows very well that now, the obstacle that plagued the Knicks to fish Duncan in the summer of '05 no longer exists!

Even, if the Knicks clear up a little space, they can use a short-term high-priced contract for one year to hire a thug to help Yao Ming through next year's rebuilding period!

"You go and give me a fresh list of free agents who haven't been signed by other teams at the moment." Wang Shuo said to Raiden.

After a while, Redden handed the free agent list to Wang Shuo.

"These people, you can help me find out what their agent is talking about.

These guys, you keep an eye out for their contract renewals with their parent team. After drawing a few circles on the list, Wang Shuo said to Raiden.

Then, Wang Shuo, who suddenly remembered something, immediately stopped Raidon.

"Now we don't have to rush, you go and do your other business, you don't have to think about the players on this list." Wang Shuo said to Raiden.

Looking at Wang Shuo, Lei Deng looked puzzled.

But this time, Wang Shuo didn't bother to explain to him.

So now the question arises.

What is the reason why Wang Shuo is not in a hurry?

The answer, of course, is, the "Alan Houston Clause."

As an "amnesty" clause that can be used by all teams in the league, Wang Shuo is very clear that once the clause is released, many teams with bloated salaries in the NBA will use the clause to free up salary space.

For example, in Wang Shuo's memory, Michael Finley was "amnestied" by the Mavericks in the summer of 05.

Therefore, in Wang Shuo's view, instead of rushing to the hospital in a hurry, why not wait for the "Alan Houston Clause" to come out, and then wait and see, which treasure player will be "amnesty" by his parent team?

On this day, Wang Shuo felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Because now......

With an assist from David Stern......

The future of the Knicks is bright!
