The Bulls reached a contract extension agreement with the Dukes for the first time, and officially announced that Snoopy will become the first star ever to enforce the Duke's clause, he will end his rookie contract early, and get an annual salary of $17 million in the third year of his career, which has made him the 16th paid player this season.

However, compared to the money he made in the offseason, it can only be said that it is not so obvious that it is 'squeezed'.

And when Chicago fans learned that the Duke had signed a five-year contract extension, everyone rejoiced, meaning that the team could compete for a championship for the next five years.

The day after receiving this great good news, Gary Foreman once again came up with a man's scalp tingling operation.

He signed Richard Hamilton on a three-year, $13.9 million contract.

This quickly became a signings that shocked the basketball world, even though all teams were actively signing or trading as the shutdown ended. However, this small gesture still attracted the attention of a large number of media.

After all, the Bulls signed the Mask Man Hamilton! Known as a perpetual motion machine, he is the most powerful off-ball runner in the NBA! The Detroit Pistons were able to defeat the Super F4 Lakers team to win the championship that year, and he did no less than the Finals MVP Bilops.

With two super breakers, Chicago has added a super system player who does not possess the ball and works hard to defend, this kind of puzzle recruitment is seamless!!

And actually, Gary Foreman was interviewed by Radio Chicago. He said: "Actually, there are many players, including famous superstars, who have thrown olive branches to us, but we have to regret refusing because of salary pressure. However, Hamilton is the kind of star we would rather afford to pay the luxury tax, and he has also made cut-offs on the amount of his contract. He could have gotten more money. ”

Soon, word broke that the superstar the Bulls rejected was Vince Carter.

Vince Carter has just negotiated a buyout with the Phoenix Suns, and he is very likely to join the Bulls after never winning a championship.

However, after Astronomy Scout announced that he would join the Mavericks for 3 years and $11 million, which is a mini middle class, which is not small compared to the full middle class of Mask Man.

"It's a pleasure to be playing alongside Jason Kidd again, and I'm sure our old men can do something big!!"

Vince Carter told reporters very firmly when he joined Dallas.

When asked if he had made contact with the bulls, Vince Carter looked unhappy and did not answer.

Clearly, Gary Foreman's words in the interview upset Vince Carter.

No one likes to be rejected, and no one likes to be rejected.

In fact, the reason why the Bulls rejected Carter is also very simple. Carter had the ball, Richardson didn't. The Bulls now have two super ball handlers, plus a former superstar who has just finished his career at the top salary, and it's quite difficult to create chemistry!

At the same time that Vince Carter and the general manager of the Bulls were fighting in a vague way, a three-way trade broke out at the seismic level in the NBA.

Major media outlets have reported on it.

The Lakers, who had been chasing the dog for no avail, finally made a new decision, and formed a three-way trade in the form of studs.

On December 9, 2011, all the authoritative media in the United States collectively reported that the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Hornets and Houston Rockets had reached a three-way deal. The Lakers got Chris Paul from New Orleans, and they sent Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom. Among them, the Rockets get Gasol, while the Hornets get Kevin Martin, Dragic, Scola and Odom from the Rockets. In addition, the Rockets sent a 2012 first-round pick (formerly belonging to the Knicks) to the Hornets.

This deal completely shattered the Lakers' three-high combination, but at the same time gained the top guard that the Los Angelesers coveted!

Kobe Bryant has never been paired with a super point guard. All the fans couldn't help but make crazy associations, everyone thought that a new dynasty for the Lakers was coming, and they even forgot what a pervert looked like, despite Snoopy's scandal in Los Angeles for most of the offseason.

However, something surprising happened at noon the next day.

David Stern vetoed the deal. He believes that the deal is detrimental to the fairness of the league, and as a result, it is also the first time since the league has been founded that a deal to organize team reinforcements has been vetoed.

The people of Los Angeles rejoiced, and all the disappointment turned into a curse on David Stern.

Because David Stern's explanation is too: basketball reasons!

What are basketball reasons?

It's just that I can't get used to seeing the Lakers strong!

The entire Los Angeles class is indignant.

But it can't be helped, the Hornets are in escrow mode, which is theoretically owned by the owners of the other 29 teams in the league. When the deal came out, more than half of the owners immediately put pressure on David Stern, leading the way with Reinsdorf, who was attacked by the board last time.

When David Stern vetoed the deal, Reinsdorf couldn't help but play golf in his office, and he even raised his arms and shouted: Who will God forgive? Hahahahaha!!

He was very cheerful. He thought to himself, let you think about Snoopy! Let you hook up with Snoopy!! Little Jim, how did you yin me at the beginning, how will I come back today. Hahahaha, why is it so cool?

Reinsdorf led the protest against the termination of the deal.

A week later, Chris Paul went to Los Angeles. It's just that the team he joined, the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers traded Eric Gordon, Aminu, Carman and an unprotected first-round pick from the Timberwolves to the Hornets for Paul and two 2015 second-round picks.

This oolong is the final conclusion.

But things are still fermenting.

Since Odom and Gasol were not in contact with the two in the previous trade, both of them had a rebellious mentality. Odom publicly asked to be traded, and two days later, the Mavericks traded Odom from the Lakers for an $8.9 million trade exception plus a first-round pick.

The Mavericks emerged as the biggest winners.

This makes one have to marvel at the workings of the Dallasians. Many pundits are starting to line up the Mavericks as the best team in the West for the new season, as they bring in two experienced veterans while maintaining last season's Western Conference championship squad.

"They have enough energy to make another big push for the championship. If this season's Finals were still the Mavericks vs. the Bulls, I think Dallas would have a better chance of winning. ”

While praising the Mavericks, ESPN did not forget to criticize the Lakers: The current Lakers management is a mess, I really don't understand the reason why they sent away the Sixth Man of the Season? Are they going to rebuild now or something else? It looks like they don't have a long-term plan at all, could it be that they are out of tune because the Paul deal was rejected? Or was it the news of the Bulls' five-year signing of Snoopy that caused a loss of confidence in the future?

At the same time that the Lakers made a huge noise, the Miami Heat quietly announced the signing of top defensive titan Shaun Battle.
