?? After the free market opened, after Li Liang led a wave, the NBA gradually fell silent, waiting for the next wave to rise.

As Li Liangxin's home team, the Clippers fell into a relatively embarrassing situation.

They somehow got the new section FMVP, and then... And then there was no then, and the people were gone!

Call...... Sorry, the number you are calling is not in the service area.

No one will reply to the email, I heard that Li Liang has returned to China.

No way, it's just so capricious.

Theoretically, Li Liang is just a middle-class contract player in the Clippers, which means that a press conference is over.

But in fact, the Clippers faced this big pie falling from the sky and began to think about how to eat it.

As early as May, Negro, the former head coach and general manager of the Clippers, was no longer in the Clippers' team building plan and would not renew his contract.

After that, Chris Paul wants the team to get Celtics coach Doug Rivers or Kevin Garnett, or he may not renew his contract.

Players who don't have self-confidence and strength can only pick their teammates and pick coaches, while players who have confidence and strength don't pick anything, waiting for others to hold them.

But at that time, Rivers' contract with the Celtics had not yet ended, and the Celtics were also waiting for Li Liang to make a decision.

After Li Liang decided to go to the Clippers, Rivers decided to terminate his contract with the Celtics and go to the Clippers without saying a word.

"It's not because of Li Liang, I just want to go to a warmer place to live." Rivers explained his decision this way.

For this, the Clippers compensated the Celtics with a draft pick.

This is also unique in the history of the NBA, and the draft pick changes the coach.

The Celtics immediately executed Plan B, signing a new coach, Stevenson, on July 3.

Rivers will come to the Clippers not only as the head coach, but also as the team's deputy general manager and into the team's management.

Paul also immediately chose to renew his contract with the Clippers and signed a five-year, $107 million maximum salary.

Paul is worth the contract at this price, but now the contract of any star player in the league has become a premium contract compared to Li Liang.

For example, someone from the Los Angeles Lakers still has $30 million in space if he has a ruptured Achilles tendon, otherwise he may be able to match Li Liang's offer?

Of course, he has won the championship now and is enjoying the summer of the championship.

After Rivers took ownership of the Clippers, he began to work with management to build the team's roster.

The arrival of Li Liang solved the problem that the Clippers had been weak on the wing.

As a result, veterans like Grant Hill and Lamar Odom, who basically didn't play a role last season, have been swept away.

The NBA is still very cruel, Hill and Odom were once hot, but as long as they can't contribute to the team, they won't stay.

By mid-July, the Clippers were mulling a trade in the hopes of acquiring JJ Redick from the Bucks.

But before making the deal, Clippers management decided to ask Li Liang for advice.

Although he specified that he would sign with the Clippers, this kid has not been seen since July 1.

There was no signing of the contract in black and white, not even a verbal promise, and the Clippers were still a little worried.

After all, the Clippers are not Lakers, a small team, they are used to living a poor life, and suddenly a big star takes the initiative to vote, of course, they have to be careful.

Although there is no way to contact Li Liang directly, his agent Zhu Shu has returned to Los Angeles and began to prepare for the signing of the contract.

Through Zhu Shu, Clippers management asked Li Liang about his thoughts on the trade.

The response was "I don't want to wipe the butts of two dwarves." ”

As a result, the trade fell through, and Caron Butler and Willie Green stayed with the Clippers.

Also staying with the Clippers was Matt Barnes, who decided to stay with the Clippers and signed a base salary because of Li Liang's middle class.

"It's not because of Li Liang, I just feel that living in Los Angeles is a very comfortable thing." Barnes explains his choice this way.

The Clippers basically retained the main lineup from last season, and then added an extra FMVP out of thin air, which feels like a big increase.

The balance of power in Los Angeles is being disrupted.

On July 6, more free agents were landed.

Dwight Howard officially signed a five-year, $120 million max contract extension with the Lakers.

This contract extension led to a complete explosion of the Lakers' salary space, which exploded to the limit, and it had long surpassed the local tyrant line.

However, because they won the championship, the Lakers were completely willing to spend this money.

And Bryant's Achilles tendon recovered well, and according to the doctor's diagnosis, the recovery was unexpectedly fast.

Some teams that wanted to snatch Howard had to go for Plan B because their plans fell through.

The Houston Rockets have long coveted Howard in the free market, and after Howard signed with the Lakers, the Rockets opted to acquire Josh Smith and Al Jefferson as compensation.

Both signed a three-year contract with the Rockets, and in doing so, the Rockets were bolstered at both the power forward and center positions.

It's just that Darryl Morey's superstar dream is coming to an end again.

On July 10, big deals began to take place in the player market.

The Nuggets, Warriors, and Jazz completed a somewhat complicated three-way deal.

The Warriors traded with the Jazz first, sending away Richard Jefferson, Biedrins and Brandon Rush for $24 million in salary space.

The Warriors sent three and only got Kevin Murphy, who has a contract of only $788,000 next season and is not guaranteed.

Subsequently, the Warriors acquired Iguodala through a sign-and-trade deal with the Nuggets, and Iguodala's new contract is four years and 48 million.

After sending Foye, the Jazz got expiring contracts from Jefferson, Biedrins and Rush, as well as some draft picks.

The Nuggets received a $9 million trade exception from the Warriors and signed and traded for Foye.

Next, the Pelicans, Kings and Trail Blazers completed a three-way trade.

The Kings sent Tyrek Evans to the Pelicans, while the Pelicans sent Grevis Vasquez to the Kings and center Robin Lopez to the Trail Blazers, who sent future draft picks and some cash.

Starting in the 13-14 season, the New Orleans Hornets will go down in the history books.

New Orleans fans chose a new name for the team, not Roast Wings, not Roast Chicken Leg Burgers, but Pelicans.

In fact, the most suitable name for them is "Sizz", but unfortunately the Judah are not ready to give it back to them.

On July 11, it was another three-way trade involving the Thunder, Bucks and Timberwolves.

In short, the player market is still very lively, and every year the general manager will exchange the players and draft picks in his hands.

After the change, fans will be full of anticipation for the new players and the new season.

Then in the new season, I found that the new person was not as good as the original, from Xiao Tiantian to Mrs. Niu, and began to look forward to the next offseason operation.

Repeatedly, until a blind cat met a dead mouse, and if you change to the right person, you can use it for four or five years.

On July 15th, Wei Dazhi's account, which had not moved, sent a message.

"Bruce Lee has returned to the U.S. and will sign with the Clippers."

It's been a long time coming!

In the offseason, the famous journalist Woj dominated almost the entire free market source, and the only information that could not be grasped was about Li Liang.

Li Liang's news was completely controlled by Wei Dazhi, and he did not reveal any news.

Before Li Liang decided, Woj and reporters from all sides made various predictions, but none of them were right.

It's not just that there is no prediction right, but there is no spectrum at all that prediction.

Because they couldn't catch any clues from Li Liang, they purely relied on their brains.

Now Li Liang has decided to go to the Clippers, but when he will sign the contract, he doesn't know at all.

These reporters in the United States are in a hurry, and Li Liang's traffic in the summer is comparable to James.

Without such a huge source of information, these celebrities are really uncomfortable.

And a message from Wei Dazhi was quickly reposted wildly on Twitter.

Wei Dazhi's message was sent at 9 a.m.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Dazhi sent another message, which was a photo.

In the photo, Li Liang is dressed in civilian clothes, on a desk in an office, signing his name on a document contract.

Next to him is Sterling, the owner of the Clippers, and the new head coach Doc Rivers.

Li Liang: This is a successful signing!

Everyone thought that the news about Li Liang was over for the time being.

Unexpectedly, it didn't end there.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Dazhi sent a third message, which was as explosive as Li Liang's switch to the Clippers.

"Clippers owner Raheem Sterling has decided to sell the team, and it is reported that the takeover is Microsoft President Steve Ballmer."
