Greg Auden became the MVP of the inaugural Frye Yu All-American High School Star Invitational with unmatched dominance.

After watching Oden's performance on the spot, Yu Fei felt that those who said that he was better than James in the same period still had a little truth.

Auden is not yet 18 years old, 2.13 meters tall and weighs 250 pounds (113.4 kilograms), and can run at full speed at both ends of the court, no less fast than a defender, and every time he plays against a high-level opponent, he feels like an adult beating a child.

There is no doubt that he, like James, already had an NBA-level stature in high school.

If it weren't for the NBA's restriction of high school students from the draft next year, he would have been in the draft in 2006.

"Fry, our MVP would like to ask you to give him a suggestion."

Before Yu Fei personally handed out the MVP trophy to Oden, the host asked with a smile.

"Stay healthy." Yu Fei said, "No matter how much potential you have, only health can enable you to achieve your goals." ”

It sounds like this is a correct nonsense, but in the near future people will realize that this is part of Auden's fable.

Perhaps there will be a lot of sports writers who quote the phrase Fly to write an article about Auden.

After the invitational tournament ended, Yu Fei went to Los Angeles to conduct personal business activities while starting his own club and inviting other players to join.

The NBA's offseason has also officially begun.

This summer is different from last year, there are not many big players.

The two biggest free agents are Bucks veterans, Ray Allen and Michael Reed.

However, these two are the kind of personalities who can get by, and unless they really can't stay anymore, they don't change teams easily.

Ray Allen said his first choice was to renew his contract with the Kings.

And Reid believes that he will end his career in New York.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers listed Reed as their No. 1 target in the offseason, believing that the sharpshooter who was a good performer next to Yu Fei would be James' right-hand man, Reed, who enjoyed the bustle of the metropolis, would not want to play in the backcountry of Cleveland again.

He's had enough of these days in Milwaukee.

Seeing that Reed couldn't come, the Cavaliers turned their attention to their No. 2 target, Larry Hughes.

Also in the hot pursuit of Hughes are the Bucks.

The salary cap for the new season is $50 million, and although the Bucks have two salary caps from Yu Fei and Sprewell, due to the departure of Ray Allen, and the contract of Oster Tag on draft night, and Mobley's contract expires, they actually have a quasi-maximum salary cap and a mid-level exception.

It's just that the Cavaliers' offer is more attractive than that of the Bucks.

They could offer Hughes a standard five-year, $80 million max contract.

Just as the Bucks and Cavaliers launched a bidding battle for Hughes, Larry Brown announced another team change after two years.

You know, Brown has 3 years and $18 million left on his contract with the Pistons, so this termination is undoubtedly a surprise attack for Detroit.

In the days leading up to his termination, Brown gushed to the media about his love for the Pistons and how much he wanted to stay in Motor City, but he took up his post in New York less than ten days after the termination.

Mark Stein, Yu's friend at ESPN, wrote: "You can expect Larry Brown to lead different teams to the playoffs, but you can't expect them to win championships, and you can't expect Larry to leave with a warm goodbye. It's like the chaos in Detroit. For Larry, he's going to get his dream job in New York, but it doesn't necessarily turn out to be his hope, two years, or three years, and maybe we'll see him leave again. ”

A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.

Just as the outside world was ridiculing Larry Brown for another "cheating" in various ways, big news from Phoenix grabbed the headlines.

Joe Johnson announced that he would accept Atalanta's five-year, $70 million offer, and he asked Suns owner Robert Suffer not to match his contract by name. He doesn't want to play for the Suns anymore.

In practice, Joe Johnson doesn't feel like leaving a 62-win team and more like fleeing a 26-win underdog.

What exactly did the Suns owner do to make him so offended?

It all started last season, when Joe Johnson wanted to agree a six-year, $50 million contract extension with the Suns. The Suns' offer is $45 million for six years. Because new owner Saffer just spent $400 million on the team, he doesn't want to give away another big sum in the short term. This is despite the fact that Joe Johnson is asking for only $5 million more than they offered.

Then last season, Joe Johnson evolved further, as a 24-year-old All-Star, and every team would give him a full salary cap, but the Suns still wanted to save money, and they offered a five-year, $60 million contract extension.

Even if that happens, the Suns still have the initiative because Joe Johnson is a restricted free agent and can keep people as long as they match the Hawks' contract.

However, Sarver actually thought this was a good opportunity to get rid of Joe Johnson.

Because he himself asked the team to be mismatched, then you can't blame me for not matching, right?

The Suns gave up the right to match and unbelievably put a match. system, the 24-year-old All-Star was given to the Hawks.

After playing last season, Yu Fei has always felt that . The Suns were the original version of the future Warriors who started the small-ball era, but now it seems that they could be the reverse Warriors.

If every step the Warriors made was right from selecting Curry in 2009 to replacing Mark Jackson with Kerr in the summer of 2014 and then on the road to success until the summer of 2016, the Suns were wrong every step since signing Nash in the summer of 2004.

The Suns let go of Joe Johnson, which is roughly equivalent to the Warriors agreeing to trade Klay Thompson for Kevin Love. If this trade happens, not only will the splash be gone, but Green, who is in conflict with Love's position, will not have a chance to rise, Iguodala will continue to play as a starter, and then can you imagine this Warriors team doing everything after 2014?

After watching the operation of the sun, Yu Fei felt that the bosses of the bucks were all eyebrows.

I've seen money-saving, but I've never seen such a money-saving.

Cole, the owner of the Bucks, also wanted to save money, but after feeling the pressure from Yu Fei, he paid all the luxury tax that should be paid. Anyway, Yu Fei didn't ask him to form the league's highest-paid team, and the luxury tax he paid could easily be earned.

And Saffer never seems to have considered the potential benefits of maintaining a strong team, and just wants to gnaw on the old (bitter Nash), and the championship has everything, and it doesn't seem to be a loss.

Yu Fei could only be glad that he hadn't met such a boss, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get out for a while.

Now, all he can do is put the Suns on his own blacklist.

These days, although Yu Fei is active in Los Angeles, he is not idle.

Because the team also wants to use the existing salary space to bring a few instant combat power, Yu Fei is also helping to recruit players while organizing club training in Los Angeles.

There's no reason why Larry Hughes ended up throwing himself into Cleveland's arms for more money.

After all, championships are not as real as real money for non-superstar players.

With the likes of Ray Allen, Michael Reed and Joe Johnson on the ground, there are no max-salary players on the free market.

The Bucks immediately focused on the immediate forces that could help the team.

One of them is Kwame Brown, who has a close relationship with Yu Fei.

Brown has just completed his rookie contract, and while he's a well-known parallel player, it's not bad to look at him as a blue-collar center.

Mutombo's 10 minutes per game is already the limit, and Pachulia looks better suited to playing around 20-25 minutes per game, so the Bucks actually need a center who can play consistently as a starter.

Competing with the Bucks for Brown is the Lakers.

In terms of salary, both teams have offered three years and $25 million contracts, but the Bucks clearly respect Brown more and give him an extra player option in the third year.

This option can make Brown feel more secure.

If Yu Fei leaves Milwaukee after two years, Brown can leave as well.

For Brown, both the Bucks' intimacy and the desire to renew their relationship with Dafei are far better than joining the Lakers and being teammates with a madman who imitates Jordan in everything he says and does.

He has been a teammate with genuine Jordan for two years, and there is no need = to try the fake again.

The Mavericks didn't match Brown's contract because their salary cap was full, and while Cuban was willing to spend money, it was enough to spend money like this (Dampier).

On July 20, the Bucks officially signed Kwame Brown.

"You know, Da Fei is my brother, and when he needed me to come here to help him, I knew I had only one option, Milwaukee." Yu Fei liked Brown's confidence in the press conference, just as convincing as he was when he said he wanted to beat Jordan during the tryout. "I'm going to bring a championship to Milwaukee!"

Kwame Brown is by no means the kind of player who can change the pattern, but his arrival is important for the Bucks.

Just like Spurs after they acquired Nazr Mohammed last season, everyone felt that their roster was impeccable.

The Bucks weren't here to be invulnerable, but Brown's arrival made them complete.

Moreover, they also have a middle-class exception.

Theoretically, there could also be a player on the free market who could help.

This is the significance of Yu Fei's special training club in Los Angeles, because the members of the club are not only Kobe, but also a man named Raja Bell, who Yu Fei desperately wants to bring back to Milwaukee high-quality 3D.
