Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 844: [Major transactions, one after another]
There are not many big deals in the NBA summer free market this year. Most of the big-name free agents renewed their respective teams, but there are still cases of star swaps.
McGrady was traded by the Pistons only after playing in Detroit for a year. He was not very popular on the team. Many teammates felt that he played too alone. Against the 76ers in March, McGrady broke through and was knocked to the ground, limping to the free throw line. No one of his teammates stepped forward to care about him.
Obviously, he did not integrate into the team, and this promising team, McGrady did not want to stay any longer, and offered to trade.
With the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, Detroit's economic situation is getting worse. Under the dual pressure of the US economic weakness and soaring oil prices, the performance of GM, Ford and Chrysler, which is known as the "Detroit Big Three" of the US auto industry, is deteriorating and facing difficulties. , Even with the Automobile City almost bankrupt.
Tracy McGrady was right at this time, but his value has dropped a lot, and he can't change back to a strongman. Qiao Dumas ruthlessly sent Tracy McGrady, not seeking to return to a strong star, just want to get rid of his big contract, fearing that his injury will aggravate the next season.
As a result, the Pistons sent McGrady from the Wizards to guard Larry Hughes and center Brandon Haywood.
Hughes is a waste wood, the only advantage is that the contract is a bit smaller than McGrady. Haywood is the head. He has always been awkward in the Wizards position, overlapping Kwame Brown, both of whom are defensive blue collars.
After the transaction, some Wizards fans were optimistic about the team ’s prospects, thinking that the Wizards also formed the Big Three, as long as McGrady got back the feeling, it would be very strong, can score and organize, it is much better than Hughes.
Guo Xu silently observed the Wizards after reading the news. This was not to rise, but to no avail. Arenas and McGrady are two players with serious injuries and hidden dangers. With two super-bad contracts, Jamison has strong offense and weak defense, and his ability to lead the team is not strong.
Next season, the Wizards may hurt no one. The beneficiary is the sixth pick, Kevin Raffle, who was selected by the Wizards. He probably can get a lot of playing time and possession. After Heywood left, the competition inside was not so fierce.
Rocket veteran center Mutombo won the championship ring and chose to retire. The Rockets signed Magloire as a substitute in the free market. After the Rockets won the championship, they had the capital to attract big-name free agents to join in salary cuts, and they only signed a brilliant blue-collar center with a base salary of $ 1.9 million.
Magloire was elected to the Eastern Conference All-Star in 2004 and has 8 years of NBA experience. He averaged 8.6 points and 7.2 rebounds in 24.2 minutes per game. He is a good rebounder. However, his state was incomparable with the peak period, and after two serious injuries, it fell seriously.
Among the championship contenders, the Spurs also strengthened the lineup under the premise of controlling the total salary, signing shooting guard Roger Mason, rookie combo guard George Hill, and veteran Kot Thomas.
Coupled with Danny Granger who has a one-year rookie contract, veterans Bruce Bowen and Michael Finley near retired, the Spurs are not weak in all positions. The weakness is that only Duncan is still a strongman inside, and the rest are blue collars.
The Spurs ’only goal in the new season is the championship. If they do n’t win the championship in 2009, they will want to win the championship and rebuild. Granger ’s performance is easy to be cornered by other teams at a premium. The Spurs boss never pays luxury taxes and is unlikely to match Keep the contract.
The Spurs have done this more than once. After winning the championship in 2003, they let Stephen Jackson out in vain. On the surface, they saved money. In fact, they have to spend a lot of time in order to introduce powerful small forwards.
The Clippers sent out "Ski Man" Radmanovic and marginal center Paul Davis, who acquired diabetes mellitus Adam Morrison and guard Shannon Brown from the Bobcats.
As a rookie with a high overall pick, Morrison was abandoned after two seasons with the Bobcats, and cheaply sent to the Clippers in exchange for a bad contract, and he also took on the superb physical Brown.
The Cavaliers sent out Drew Gooden to pack role players and got the Bucks starting point guard Mo Williams.
Gooden and Boozer overlap, leaving little significance, and Mo Williams is the Cavaliers eager to strengthen the point guard.
The Cavaliers' total salary has already broken, and boss Daniel Gilbert now wants to win the championship no matter how much he spends. If you do not win the championship, it is difficult for the Cavaliers to leave James in the future.
In fact, winning the Cavaliers is also difficult to leave James. At that time, he gloriously completed the promise to lead his hometown team to win the championship, and he can go to the big city to pursue the maximum commercial value.
Many experts are optimistic about the Cavaliers, thinking that their strength has greatly improved. Mo Williams' style is very suitable for the Cavaliers, can hold the ball to break, can catch the ball in the periphery, organization ability is also alive, last season averaged 17.2 points and 6.3 assists. Because he has not been a partner with Yi Jianlian, nor has he been awarded the title of "Mobushi".
The Heat sent Jermaine O'Neal and swingman Dorell White, from the Blazers to guard TJ Ford and inside Milicic.
Milicic and Aldridge overlap in the trailblazer position, and the management decided to keep only one. Milicic played for a few years. Although he was not called the "parallel imports list", he did not hit the expected level to become a star.
O'Neal's advantage is that there is only one year left on the contract. After the end of next season, the Blazers can spare 21 million salary space, there is much to do in the free market.
The Heat lacks an inside line, eager to send away O'Neal, who has serious injuries. Pat Riley feels that if Milisic is trained for the devil, he may have room for improvement, at least a qualified starting center.
The most failed signing in the summer was the Warriors. After signing Brand, there were no good players to join, and two role players.
Guard Jaskovic Hughes once led Lithuania to defeat the Dream Team at the 2004 Olympics. He was selected for the best team at the Beijing Olympics. Many people began to optimistic about his performance next season. However, he refused to renew the Warriors and did not accept other teams' contracts and chose to return to Europe.
It is forgivable for Jaskovi Hughes to leave in the NBA, and the other one is more bizarre.
The swingman Childress also rejected the Warriors' renewal and chose to sign the Greek Olympiacos Basketball Club. California ’s taxes are high, and Childress, who wants to make money, does n’t want to stay, and he can only serve as a substitute for Kobe and Roaldeng in the Warriors.
In the free market, the Warriors don't have a good guard candidate. Www.lightnovelpub.net ~ Even the second-round guard Bucks like Ramon Sessions didn't let go, and Sessions played well in the second half of last season.
After picking another lap, the Warriors signed CJ Watson, who was defeated in the draft, was a 188cm tall and 79kg defender. He is poorly organized and more like a shooting guard. If he and Barbosa are the point guards in the new season, the ball will definitely run very poorly.
The Los Angeles media used the title "Players fled the Warriors", not optimistic about the new season's trident composed of Kobe, Brand and Roll Deng.
This news did not cause any storms, and there were not many people discussing on the Internet. The fans did not care about the life and death of the Warriors. Most people just want to know whether the solar will win the championship next season. Guo Xu won seven championship rings and surpassed Jordan.
The star's biggest fear is not being sprayed by fans. If there are many sunspots, a black top and ten powders prove that there are also many people who like you. In Guo Xu ’s previous life, Kehe Ke Mi and Zhan Hei Jam Mi had always been opposites. One side held and the other stepped on. The star ’s attention has never been lower.
Kobe is now being ignored by fans, and the impact of not having a single point of 81 points is fatal ...
