Quentin Richardson's departure will not affect the overall picture of the Bucks' championship contention.

It can be said that Big Q is not the key person. But the mismatch of Big Q's contract can actually show the team's attitude towards spending money.

Because in the coming years, teams will need to spend more money if they are to remain competitive.

Yu Fei did not express an opinion on this matter, but just called to congratulate Da Q on signing a considerable contract.

Then, the Bucks fell silent on the free market.

The news of the Lakers' decision to trade O'Neal remains the number one event in the trade market.

But even if they were to trade, the Lakers would need to get enough in return.

As a result, the trade process was long and torturous for Bryant, who wanted to see O'Neal's closet explode right now.

The team was slow to finalize the deal, and Kobe Bryant naturally felt that things were not a sure thing, so he continued to meet with teams that had salary space.

First the Suns, then the Nuggets.

Whenever Kobe Bryant finished meeting with a team, there would be news that Kobe Bryant had a good conversation with each other.

This made the Lakers brass feel like they could lose Kobe Bryant at any time.

O'Neal's trade progress has been greatly advanced.

The Lakers have one constant rule when making trades, and that is not to give O'Neal to a strong team in the West.

It was the Dallas Mavericks who pursued O'Neal the most fiercely at the beginning.

Except for Nowitzki, the Mavericks can afford it.

And the Lakers can't look down on anyone except Nowitzki.

The deal was naturally yellow, but the longer the trade dragged on, the more ordinary the offer the Lakers got.

Pat Riley, who had been waiting for an opportunity, made a move when the Lakers were in a dilemma.

As has happened in history, the Heat traded O'Neal for just three players, including Odom, and a future first-round pick.

After O'Neal was traded, Kobe Bryant immediately announced a contract extension with the Lakers. The farce of the two gods has come to an end, and other big-name players in the free market have also found a home.

The situation is basically the same as Yu Fei's previous life, Nash left Dallas to start a new chapter in his career in Phoenix, Kenyon Martin does not want to stay in Philadelphia to see Iverson unlimited singles, he wants to go to a younger, more promising team, that team is currently looking at the future of the Denver Nuggets. Rasheed Wallace unsurprisingly signed a contract extension with the Pistons.

The biggest trade since the opening of free market was between the Dallas Mavericks and the Washington Wizards.

The Mavericks sent multiple players, including Antoine Jamison, to Washington in exchange for a number of players led by Jerry Stackhouse.

In Yu Fei's previous life, the deal also included the signing rights of Devin Harris, but now, the world line has changed.

The Wizards player who went to Dallas in place of Harris was named Kwame Brown.

Kwame only had one happy season with the Wizards before being waived.

People have come to see him as the biggest parallel commodity since Michael Olovocandi.

But in fact, if you don't treat him as a champion, he is still a good blue-collar insider.

The teams are constantly moving, but the Bucks are rarely doing anything.

After the signing day began, apart from letting go of Big Q and signing Brent Barry, there were only some inconspicuous signings.

By July 20, the signing market had deserted.

It's almost time for the teams to bring in reinforcements, and it's time for the experts to rate the teams in the offseason.

The Quasi-Dynasty Bucks were honorably rated a C Grade.

Reason: Sending away two-time center Dan Gazuric on draft day for unknown reasons was wasted on a scrawny weak league scorer. Signing Brent Barry was a shining light, but letting Quentin Richardson go for nothing was a big failure.

Overall, experts believe the Bucks are inevitably heading towards a waning cycle of quasi-dynastic teams.

They no longer have the strength of the first championship, nor do they lack the desire for a second championship, the team has an aging roster, salary space is locked, and the draft is chaotic, and the day of ruin can be expected.

It was the Miami Heat who received an A rating because they traded $5 for $10.

Yu Fei was not interested in the experts' comments.

With his documentary due to be released this summer, Reebok spotted his incredible popularity in Asia and continued to arrange trips to Asia to consolidate its fundamentals.

This time, Yu Fei's trip to Asia covered China, Japan, South Korea and the Philippines.

It was when Fei began his glamorous trip that Larry Brown's dream team was questioned.

The number one on this Dream Team is Aaron Iverson.

Iverson is known to be late, and although he started his tenure with the slogan "It's the new Iverson standing in front of you" to change the public's perception of himself, just a week later, he was suspended by Brown for being late along with James and Stoudemire.

James's tardiness is understandable, after all, something terrible has happened in his hometown.

Iverson's tardiness as vice-captain was unacceptable to the outside world.

When you play in the league, you're often late, and it's probably only the 76ers fans who are upset about it, and now you're wearing the Star-Spangled Banner, and you're going to be late? It's a shame for the United States.

This makes the fledgling little emperor James feel that he has a responsibility and obligation to help this team defend the glory of the dream team.

Yes, he felt like Iverson and Duncan's right-hand man.

The Boozer Legend still haunts him, and he doesn't know what his future holds for the Cavaliers, but the journey of the Dream Team has been as bitter as it has been pleasant.

James discovered that there were Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade in addition to himself.

Three NBA rookies were able to make the Dream Team, and you can imagine how many people who should really be on this team choose not to come.

As the best of the young players, Jen, Ann and Way were ostracized by the veterans, who called themselves "the new guns," only to be quick and the clash happened, like a nightmare — New York Knicks' Stephen Marbury thought "Hello, I'm the King." James and Anthony are a bit arrogant.

James can be called narcissistic, and Marbury's dislike for Anthony is visceral.

Because in New York, Anthony is more popular than Marbury.

The New York Times once held a poll for fans to decide: If we could trade Stephen for Carmelo Anthony, what would your decision be?

The vote in favor of the deal was overwhelming.

This hurt Marbury very much, and he even held a grudge against Anthony.

Larry Brown also feels like he's out of grip on his team, a loose team that didn't play last year with nine of the 12 men who lifted the Copa America under him in an unbeatable way last year.

Such a change of personnel is simply no different from a change of team.

They need to re-grind, re-establish the starting line-up, and redo the work they have done. In this case, Brown, who already distrusts young players, is unlikely to give 03 a chance.

In addition, the Athenian audience was also very hostile to the United States, and whenever the Dream Team fell behind, the noise felt like those devils in the NBA.

In the first game of the Olympic Games, James played less than 20 minutes, made three shots, scored 5 points, and Puerto Rico beat the Dream Team by 19 points.

Larry Brown lashed out at the team, this one doesn't work, that doesn't work, especially the youngsters, one is worse than the other, and he won't trust them anymore.

That night, James remembered Yu Fei's resistance to the national team in his hotel room.

Yu Fei never said why, as if he had expected that there would be today.

From then on, James and Anthony, like Wade, always sat on the bench.

Brown has decided to rely entirely on a veteran of fame like Marbury to play, as if losing to Puerto Rico was the fault of the youngsters.

After that, the Dream Team lost to Lithuania but won their other three group games to secure a place in the knockout rounds, but in the end, they were beaten by Argentina before the final.

Since 1992, the myth of the invincibility of the Dream Team at the Olympics has been shattered.

After the game, all members of the dream team took the bus back to the hotel, and the conflict between the old and new generations was completely intensified.

It was Marbury, who yelled at James, who had only played 3 minutes that night: "You're nothing, you didn't help us in any way!" ”

"What did you say?"

"You want a close-knit teamfire?" Marbury cursed, "Fuck you team fraternity!" You're never going to be the best! You'll never be as good as Frye Yu! You're not even as as a hair of his! ”

For some reason, James' emotions didn't fluctuate much when Marbury cursed, but when he said that taboo name — Larry Brown forbade players to discuss Fry Yu — James felt an unbearable sting that forced him to respond.

He and Marbury swore at each other on the bus.

The failure of the Dream Team was criticized and ridiculed across the country.

In his op-ed, Bill Simmons wrote: "This team is doomed, we have largely failed to learn from the failures at the World Championships, and once again have neglected the three elements of success in the international game, pure point guards who can shoot open threes, create opportunities for teammates, at least two shooters, or three, and be big enough to play a sporty interior in the low post and pick-and-roll!" If you don't respect the winning elements of the game, you will lose, always! ”

This is a long time ago, Yu Fei agreed with this person's words.

When the Dream Team defeated Athens, he was being entertained by a hot and enthusiastic Ernie in Korea.

"Why is it that even Bill Simmons knows what Larry Brown and Colangelo don't?" Yu Fei laughed mockingly, "I'll never understand what they're thinking." ”

Lawson was enjoying a massage with Yu Fei, and he only had endless disparagement for Brown, "That stubborn old man is an incompetent person who deceives the world and steals his name, Da Fei, you are right not to join the dream team!" ”

"Of course, when did I miss it?" Yu Fei said smugly.

"That's it, Reebok thinks that the wording of your rejection of the national team needs to be changed." Lawson said, "They think you can refuse to participate like everyone else, citing the situation in the Middle East." ”

Yu Fei let out a comfortable moan, gave Ernie on his back an approving look, and then replied: "I don't want to touch politics, and I don't think this reason is good, why can't I be more open?" I'd rather lie here and enjoy a massage than go to Athens to play fucking basketball on behalf of the Dream Team! It's as simple as that. ”

At this time, Ernie on his back left a kiss on Yu Fei's neck: "Oba, I think you are too right!" ”
