A 3-and-D player for a forward guard would be the first choice.

Hayward, Ruel Deng, Ariza, Bradley are all within the range of options.

As for James and Anthony, Pelicans management basically won't consider it, the combination of Tang Tian and Davis has unlimited potential and is young.

Home-trained stars are always better than airborne.

Of course, James and Anthony probably don't look down on a small ball market like New Orleans.

In addition to chasing these players, the team has several rotation players who expired last season, and contract extensions should also be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Ci Shiping, Evans, and Morrow are basically bound to renew their contracts.

Tzu Shiping is the leader of the locker room;

Even with Jokic, Evans would be very useful as a third interior and mentor;

Morrow has three points, the key is cheap, and it has tactical significance.

The rest of Jason Smith definitely doesn't want it, and as for Aminu as an alternative, it depends on the team's win in free agency.

As the free market approached, so did the rumors.

Morey has vowed to match all offers about Parsons;

Hayward and the Bobcats are close to agreeing a contract extension with a maximum salary;

Pau Gasol wants to leave the Lakers;

……

All of this has a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Among the rumors, there are two that are quite eye-catching.

One is related to Bosh, who is rumored to be very close to the Rockets, and the two sides are very close to reaching a contract with a maximum salary;

The protagonist of the other is "Warcraft" Howard, after suffering last year's playoff turmoil, the countdown to Happy Beast's departure from the Lakers seems to have come, but his next home is still unknown.

Amid all the rumors, the 2014 NBA Summer Free Kick Market officially opened.

The Bobcats and Hayward agreed to a four-year, $63 million cap offer contract, and the Jazz had three days to consider whether to match;

Judging from the information given by OJ in the future, the Jazz team will most likely choose to match.

Nowitzki and the Mavericks agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract extension;

The conversation between the two is rumored to be as follows.

Kuban: 75 million in 3 years, no less.

Nowitzki: 10 million for 3 years.

Kuban: 60 million in 3 years, it really can't be less.

Nowitzki: 20 million for 3 years.

Kuban: Brother, you are cheating me, 45 million in 3 years, this is definitely a conscience price!

Nowitzki: 30 million in 3 years, deal!

……

Lowry and the Raptors reached a four-year, $48 million contract extension, and after being sold by the Rockets, Lowry got a new lease of life in Toronto.

Livingston and the Warriors agreed to a three-year, $16 million contract.

These are the few big signings that open the door to the free market, but that's all there is to it.

Unlike the previous scenario where large contracts were reached as soon as the door opened, because the two biggest fishes, James and Anthony, are undecided, and the movements of many free agents are also unknown.

Anthony arranged to meet the team and began the long road of choosing his next home; James and his team have remained silent.

Pat Riley was the most upset person at this time.

Bosh was unexpectedly close to the Rockets, and James had a different attitude than he did in his post-championship press conference.

Originally, he was very calm, but now he feels that the Heat are likely to break up after winning the championship.

This seemingly impossible thing is actually moving towards possibility, which makes him, a god operator, a little incomprehensible.

He hesitated, but picked up the phone and called James' agent, Rich Paul.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk to James, it's that James' phone has been turned off lately.

"Richie, we need to talk about a contract extension as soon as possible."

Riley is a smart guy and he knows that keeping James is the key to all problems.

"yes, we'll take care of it, you get Chris and Dwyane's contracts first, and the rest of the players in the free market."

Paul's answer was the same as in the previous conversation.

Riley sighed inwardly at this.

James is the real businessman, and if the Heat can't handle what Paul said, James will really likely leave Miami.

"Richie, tell LeBron that he said he's going to bring more championships to Miami."

Riley hung up the phone and said in a different tone.

"I will."

Paul hung up the phone.

"Riley, this guy, wants to get a contract without spending money."

He hung up the phone and glanced at James in front of him.

James nodded and took a puff on his cigar.

Previously, because of the failure to win consecutive championships, Riley was very sharp in both his post-season speech and his actions in the free market.

But after winning the championship this year, Riley made very few moves, and that posture only looked like he wanted to keep the championship lineup.

This is obviously not going to work, Wade is a year older, Ray Allen doesn't know if he still plays, and the Heat are getting weaker if they don't make big reinforcements.

They're getting weaker, while their rivals Spurs, Thunder and even the Pacers are getting stronger.

It will be difficult for the Heat to win the championship next year.

After four years of anti-Japanese war, he was really tired of this process.

Not to mention that Bosh is still so close to the Rockets.

"Actually, I think Mr. Gilbert's words can be believed."

Paul said cautiously at this point.

Before free agency began, Cavaliers owner Gilbert reached out to James again.

The boss, who had cursed James, began to take the initiative to come up again at this time.

This is the NBA, there are no absolute enemies and partners in the business field, only interests.

James took another puff on his cigar, didn't speak, and turned his head to look out the window at the sand.

Back to Cleveland?

That sounds great.

He's already won a championship in Miami, so it would make sense to go back to where his dream started and bring it to that city.

And more importantly, Irving is still young, and Wiggins may be able to trade for a good All-Star, where the competitiveness and future will be much better than Miami is now.

It's not impossible.

However, let's wait for Riley's side to move, maybe there are some surprises.

Riley put down the phone and tried to contact Bosh.

The result is the same as before, not to mention Bosh, Bosh's agent can't be contacted.

It's like losing contact.

He finally called Wade.

At this time, it is estimated that only Wade can help him.

Wade is on vacation in Miami but is also keeping an eye on the free market, and after a phone call with Riley, he began trying to contact James.

Neither James nor Anthony can be done in a day or two.

But at this moment, the Lakers couldn't hold back and started to move.

Or maybe the Knicks didn't want to sit still, and there was a big earthquake between them and the Lakers, an old rival.

The news that OJ broke next instantly attracted all the attention of the free agent market.

The Lakers made a deal with the Knicks, and they sent Dwight Howard to get Tyson Chandler, Iman Shampert and a 2015 second-round pick from the Knicks!
