Nowadays, whether it is the Bulls' first three consecutive players or the last three consecutive players, they have basically disappeared in the NBA.

The only thing left is Tony Cooke, the sixth man in the Bulls' last three-in-a-row.

When Doon learned that Kukoc had signed with the Bulls, he was also a little confused.

Can Kukoc still fight? 36 or 37?

Known as the Europa Magician, Kukoc is an All-Star in his prime, dribbling, breaking, passing, mid-range shooting, three-point shooting, transition offense, and running off the ball.

He even has the ability to dunk at the free throw line, and his physical fitness is quite good.

The question is that now that he is getting older, it is undoubtedly unknown whether Kukoc will be able to help the Bulls in the new season.

In fact, a few years ago, Kukoc wanted to return to the Bulls to play.

It was also because the Bulls questioned Kukoc's ability and refused to sign Kukoc, which made the disheartened Kukoc join Milwaukee, which is located next door to Chicago.

"I really want a point guard who can share the ball control and organize the pressure for me.

You need an interior player who can attack on the inside, preferably with the ability to shoot.

and veterans with a lot of playoff experience and the ability to bring substitutes.

Why did you give me one step, didn't you? ”

Doon's mood at the moment is that he finally takes a handful of AD and wants to carry it.

A little bit of a condition with support.,It's best to have a shield.,Control.,Can consume.,Heroes who can support.。

Without saying a word, the assistant chose Pan Sen to come out, and then Doon was dumbfounded.

I have to say that if Kukocz were three or five years younger, it would indeed fit Doon's needs.

Kukoc can handle the ball, have playmaking skills, and have the projection to help Doane with the bench.

It's a pity that he is too old now, and Kukoc can only play the role of a normal base salary veteran.

However, as a pioneer for foreign players to play in the NBA, Doane naturally has to show respect to Kukoc as an international player.

As Chamberlain said, all players after the Bulls dynasty have to give 10% of their salaries to Jordan.

Jordan's significance to the NBA is not only the GOAT, without Jordan opening up the international market, the NBA may not even be able to enter the four major leagues, not to mention the league's players have raised their salaries significantly, and they have made a lot of money one by one.

For international players like Doon, without Kukoc's NBA championship and proof that foreign players can be successful in the NBA, there will be no more European players and Asian players playing in the NBA.

To a certain extent, Yao Ming's entry into the NBA as a champion pick is also a bonus for Kaisers like Kukoc and Divac.

Don't forget to dig wells.

As an international player and the boss of the Bulls, Doane asked John Paxson for Kukoc's phone as soon as he learned the news of the trade, saying that he welcomed Kukoc home.

Kukoc, on the other hand, said he was grateful to Doon for helping him get home.

Next, he will assist Doon in managing the Bulls' locker room and help the rookies in the Bulls team grow better.

"With a base salary of 1 million, I signed a famous teacher to sparring with a partner, and occasionally I could play as a substitute, and this deal seems to have been earned."

The current Kukoc is indeed at an age when he is about to retire, but he can still play for a while, and he is not a complete waste.

Kukoc is a pitcher with pick-and-roll skills and a seasoned veteran.

The Bulls are not actually lacking in combat power at this stage, but they just lack time to tap the potential of the rookies and transform them into more instant combat power.

Kukoc's style of play is that of a swing forward, breaking, running off the ball, blocking, switching offense and projection at the No. 3 position, and a high-post strategy and card position at the No. 4 position.

The experience and skills in these areas can be passed on to rookies such as Rohr Deng, Josh Smith and Dior.

Next season, as long as one of the three can play, the Bulls' lineup will be much stronger.

However, for Doon, at this stage, the more concerned is the offseason reinforcement work.

Due to the renegotiation of the collective bargaining agreement, the free agent signing process this offseason has been slow.

Although Stern said that there was a risk of a shutdown this summer, the negotiations were generally going relatively smoothly.

The management won again, but the interests of the stars were also guaranteed.

The biggest rumor at this stage is that the Cavaliers did not rush to renew the contract of Big Z in order to find a helper for James, but recruited Ray Allen and Michael Reed as soon as possible to make up for James' lack of projection.

The Bulls are not prepared to fish in free agency, but are interested in negotiating with the Timberwolves, Grizzlies, and Trail Blazers.

Garnett of the Timberwolves, Gasol of the Grizzlies, and Randolph of the Trail Blazers are all targets of the Bulls' pursuit.

It's just that in order to save more money and make a more suitable trade plan, the Bulls are not making rapid progress in negotiations.

The time quickly came to mid-July, and many teams made some trades one after another.

It is inevitable that Doon will also make a phone call to inquire about the situation because of the team's inaction.

Then Doon was told that maybe he was so good last season that the vast majority of the league wanted to limit the Bulls.

With the Timberwolves and Lions opening their mouths, the Grizzlies and Trail Blazers also asking for a price, and the idea of the Bulls making up for the interior through a trade is unlikely to be effective.

This can only be blamed on the fact that the Bulls, as an NBA giant, are not deep enough in the league.

The Celtics and Lakers want stars, and there are a few teams whose management is their protégé who can help.

On the contrary, the Bulls have left a lot of bad impressions on some teams during Jerry Krause's tenure as general manager, making it difficult for other teams to make deals.

Of course, from the eyes of the team owner, Jerry Kraus is undoubtedly a capable man, who can sign Pippen for 20 million for seven years and Jordan for 25 million for eight years......

However, now that the Bulls want to win their seventh championship, it will be difficult to bring in reinforcements through trades.

John Paxson told Doon that the only good news at this stage is that a contract extension with Tyson Chandler is almost negotiated.

Because Tyson Chandler didn't play well in the playoffs, the Bulls wanted to get Tyson Chandler at a low price, but Tyson Chandler and his agent team wanted to test the free market.

So before the free market opened, the Bulls only gave a qualification offer of 6 million for 1 year.

After the free market opened, the Wizards and Celtics in the East, and the SuperSonics in the West all gave a four-year poison contract of about 30 million, about 5 million in the first two years, and a maximum salary of 10 million in the second two years.

The Bulls have the right of first refusal, and management is actively communicating with Tyson Chandler that the next step is definitely to match the contract.

And Tyson Chandler is also willing to sign with the Bulls and continue to fight for the championship with Doane.

This means that Tyson Chandler still has two years of "rookie bonus".

It's also because in the next two years, the Bulls' salary space will be relatively healthy.

John Paxson said management is willing to trade the expiring Antonio Davis, as well as future draft picks, to an All-Star-caliber point guard to bolster the Bulls' roster.

It can only be said that the deterrence of the regular season MVP and the double team is terrifying.

The Bulls became the target of public criticism early because of Dwan's overpower.

The Timberwolves won't let them go, and other teams use poison contracts to mess with the Bulls.

All of this suggests that neither the East nor the West wants the former giants, the Chicago Bulls, to rise again and seize the interests that were once theirs.

This also means that in the next transaction, the bulls will definitely suffer some losses.

However, the Bulls are ready to challenge for a championship from next season.

So, this summer has to be a deal that will satisfy Doon and the fans.

The Bulls quickly approached Western Conference teams Warriors and Nuggets in exchange for Byron Davis or Andre Miller.

During the negotiations, the collective bargaining negotiations were finally concluded and a new collective bargaining agreement was formalized.

One of the more important points is the reduction of the contract period from a maximum of seven years to six years, as well as the newly released Arenas and Doon clauses.

The first two are to protect the interests of the team, the former to prevent the garbage contract from being too long to take up the team's salary space, and the latter to prevent other teams from poaching the second-round picks that have been cultivated with great difficulty.

As for the Doon Clause, it is actually a copy of the Ross Clause.

As long as the rookie has been selected as the regular season MVP during his rookie contract, which is the first four years, or has won two All-Star teams, or has been a two-time All-Star starter.

You are eligible to sign a 30% salary cap contract with your parent team when you sign your second career contract.

When the players' union heard this, it naturally had no opinion.

It's like Ewing's brain-dead remark - we earn a lot, but we also spend a lot.

No one thinks they're making too much.

However, from the perspective of the team owner, no owner wants to give more money to his players!

The problem is that the bull is too strong, let's weaken it!

The Bulls have recruited too many rookies, and these rookies with extraordinary potential have signs of playing, and Doane has a faint tendency to become a second Jordan.

The owners of the other 29 teams in the league don't want to see this, especially the owners of the Lakers and Eastern Conference teams.

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of this collective bargaining agreement, the Doon clause was directly and unanimously passed.

Even Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf knew it was a trap set up for him by the owners of other teams, and he had to vote in favor.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this clause is going for Doon.

Once Jerry Rainsdorf votes against it, but the plan still passes, and the matter reaches Doon's ears, then Doon will also be like Jordan, who will leave after winning the championship.

Jordan can still use "one person, one city" to kidnap with "loyalty", Doon is a foreign player, and he was traded by the Lakers once, and the word loyalty will definitely not impress Doon.

Therefore, Jerry Reinsdorf can only spend more money and envelop Doon with real money.

Strive to keep Doon in Chicago and work for him for more than ten years, and then trade it out when he is too old to move, or if he has experienced a major injury and is sure that he can't recover as before.

It is also because the Doon clause was officially promulgated, and the Bulls completed a contract extension with Tyson Chandler, and the Bulls' threat to other teams in the league has come to an end.

In this way, the Bulls' offseason recruitment work has suddenly become smooth.

After all, in three years, Doon and Tyson Chandler will occupy almost 55% of the Bulls' salary space.

The virtues of Bulls owner Jerry Raindorf are basically clear to owners and management across the league.

That means Josh Smith, Ben Gordon, and Rohr Deng will have a hard time getting big contracts with the Bulls.

The Bulls are basically faced with a three-choice situation, and at the extreme, it is a three-choice zero.

Faced with the temptation of contract years and maximum salary contracts, the three potential rookies may also have civil unrest in advance for their own interests.

If someone has low quality and is psychologically dark, they may give a punch to their teammates.

In other words, regardless of whether the Bulls make up for it in the offseason, the Bulls' rookie bonus will have two years left in the championship window.

It's worth mentioning that in order to get Doane, the Bulls traded almost all the draft picks within two years.

In other words, two years later, if the Bulls want to win the championship by cultivating rookies, they need to go through the sequelae of winning the championship again and again and the weakening period of winning the championship.

If Doon stays with the Bulls and wants to win more championships, he can only rely on his own skills.

If you're unlucky and your teammates get a little bit injured in the playoffs, you can only give up the championship halfway.

Therefore, with a sound salary cap and luxury tax system, it is very difficult to forge a dynasty with three consecutive crowns.

After the Lakers won three consecutive championships, they were also immediately interrupted by the Spurs.

Now that O'Neal is showing signs of building a mobile dynasty, Western teams are also starting to open the door to the Bulls and try to add to the Heat.

On August 8, after two months of hard work by the Bulls management, great results were finally achieved.

The Bulls only used Antonio Davis, who is about to expire and can free up salary space, and rookie Chris Duhon, plus a '08 first-round pick and a '06 second-round pick, to get the first beard - Byron Davis from the Warriors.

It is worth mentioning that Byron Davis is also one of the stars who asked Doon to play brother basketball before.

Although Byron Davis is prone to injury, has inconsistent shooting, is inefficient, and has a blank defense, he has played really tough and was able to nail Nowitzki to the shame post with a black eight series.

This is like Wei Shao, don't look at the inefficient shooting rate, and the shooting is not good, but when you are ruthless, you are really ruthless, and the ball is very passionate and explosive, and it is very good-looking.

With this kind of teammate by his side, he is not afraid of encountering difficulties, so he accidentally gets an eight-point perfunctory.

With Byron Davis leading the charge, Doon can also better fill in the gaps for the team, do what other teammates can't, and make the team's overall strength go to the next level.

The point is, Byron Davis doesn't get on his head easily, and he doesn't accidentally get down the drain.

Byron Davis has been playing in the playoffs since his rookie season, and was traded to the Warriors last season due to a major injury, unfortunately not making the playoffs.

This is also the reason why Byron Davis will take the initiative to come to Doon, obviously helping the Hornets reach so many playoffs, but he is not trusted by the team because of a major injury.

Now that he has changed a team, he can only be below Richardson and be the second oldest.

Who is he Richardson? Give him the second child, why can't he give Doon the second child?

What rags Oakland, the third largest city in the United States, Chicago, doesn't smell?

After learning that he was traded to the Bulls, Byron Davis also called Doon to celebrate for the first time: "Brother, let's have a big fight!" ”
