Chapter 1042 [Super Bad Contract, Saved Kobe]
In September, the NBA's new season training camp is approaching, and the big fish in the free market are signing one after another.
Bosh renewed his contract with the Lakers for 5 years and 118 million. The Lakers management has no other way to ensure the team's competitiveness next season, so they can only choose to renew Bosh's contract, otherwise there will be no big-name star to attract fans.
This is a super bad contract, and no one knows about it except Guo Xu at the moment.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Bosh was diagnosed with venous thrombosis in the 2014-15 season, and he stopped playing for half a season. He continued to play next season and hasn't played for the Heat since being diagnosed with a blood clot again in February. Although Bosh repeatedly expressed his desire to play, he was unable to return because his health was not up to standard and his life would be in danger. As a result, he took $76 million with the Heat.
The Lakers gave up on renewing Bogut's contract and signed Spring Man Power forward Ed Davis for a low price of 2 million for 2 years.
The center management is ready to focus on developing first-round rookie Nurkic, who will share the playing time of the No. 5 spot with Jordan Hill, and the fringe man is Robert Thackeray.
In the small forward position, the Lakers signed Wesley Johnson for 1 million in 1 year, which was the fourth pick in the first round in 2010.
The Lakers poached Nick Young, a marginal man of the Warriors, for 8 million in 2 years, and Kupshuk thought that Nick Young was good and it was very cost-effective to sign him. After having the championship, Nick Young is reluctant to stay with the Warriors and continue to work as a substitute, wanting to get a bigger contract.
Veteran Battier is a free man who was waived by the Lakers. He should have no choice but to retire next, playing 20 minutes per game last season, averaging only 4.1 points, 2 rebounds and 0.9 assists, shooting 38.2% from the field and 34.8% from three-point range.
Without a championship bonus, no team would treat Battier as a piece of the championship puzzle, the Lakers didn't make the playoffs for two years in a row, and he didn't see much of a role on the defensive end.
Battier of Earth One is very unlucky, he didn't get a decent nickname, he didn't play a few playoff games, he didn't have luxury stats, he was an ordinary role player who couldn't be more ordinary, and he didn't leave any story in the NBA.
The Lakers also made a trade with the Nets, sending Joe Johnson in exchange for Deron Williams. The Lakers have no chance of winning a championship next season, and they want to muddy the waters of the championship contenders.
Joe Johnson's form has dropped significantly, averaging only 16+3+3.5 per game last season. He signed a six-year contract with the Lakers in 2010 that would not expire until 2016. In 2012, the Nets signed DeLong to a five-year, $98 million contract extension that expires in 2017.
Both sides feel that they have earned it, and it is a win-win. The coach of the Nets is Mike Brown, who has worked with James for many years, and will play playmaking forward tactics in the new season, and they need a wing who can shoot three-pointers, and they don't need Deron who is only good at blocking and pick-and-roll tactics.
The Lakers hope that Delon and Bosh will play blocking and dismantling and take the route of combining inside and outside. The Lakers' coach is still Byron Scott, who likes to use point guard as the core.
Kupchak thinks Delon is younger, born in 1984 and only 30 years old this year, and should decline at a slower pace than Joe Johnson. If he can't play after 3 years, the Lakers don't renew the contract.
The Nets and swingman Alan Anderson have reached an agreement on a two-year contract for just under $3 million, with a player option for the second year.
They also signed Bojan Bogdanovic to a three-year, $10 million contract, and got the No. 2 and No. 3 positions off the bench.
Bojan was drafted by the Heat in the second round in 2011 and traded the signing rights to the Nets before joining the NBA after three years. HE IS 203CM TALL AND WEIGHS 98 KG, AND IS A SWINGMAN WHO IS GOOD AT CATCHING AND SHOOTING, AND CAN PLAY TWO POSITIONS.
The Nets also signed Nuggets guard Nate Robinson, who has not been able to get a big contract because of his height. He is willing to join with a base salary because the Nets have become very weak after sending away Delon at the No. 1 position, and should be able to get a lot of opportunities to perform.
Steve Blake signed a 2-year, 4 million contract. Blake also had a good performance with the Timberwolves because he won a championship with the Suns, shooting three-pointers, organizing the offense, and finding a job even if his quality declined.
The Nets manager thinks he's a good fit with James, and he can catch the ball and shoot threes, but the speed guard is a little worse.
The Warriors weren't idle, either, and they let go of CJ Watson and signed veteran Leandro Barbossa with a base salary. Back then, the Brazilian lightning was in a hurry to leave, and now he is back and hugging his thighs.
At the press conference, Barbossa bluntly said that the reason that led him to leave the Warriors is no longer there.
The Warriors also signed veteran Richard Jefferson to make up for Nick Young's departure.
Jefferson can shoot three-pointers and is fully qualified to be a bench. Last season, he averaged 10.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 27 minutes per game for the Jazz, shooting 40.9 percent from three-point range and 1.5 on shooting.
Before the season even started, everyone thought that the championship would be between the two teams, and the other teams would be the runners. The Spurs didn't sign any strongmen, and like last season's roster, they signed a rookie Kyle Anderson, how to play against the Warriors?
The only team in the West who can play with the Warriors seems to be the Clippers, and the Eastern Nets are completely dominant.
There are also some big-name free agents who are not sure of their next stop.
First and foremost were Kobe Bryant and Wade. Kobe Bryant is a completely free agent, and Wade is out of contract on his own.
The Heat had no hope of winning the championship, and Pat Riley put Wade on the shelf several times, and gradually Wade and management also had conflicts. He has chosen to take a salary cut in order to stay with the Heat on his last contract, and the team still wants to send him away instead of bringing in a strongman to compete for the championship, so what is the point of his salary cut?
In fact, the Heat tried to poach people to compete for the championship, but no strongman wanted to come, and Granger was scrapped due to injury.
The Hawks, Cavaliers, and Bulls offered Wade contracts, and two of the rebuilding teams Wade didn't want to join, so he chose to take a pay cut to join the Bulls in September after considering it.
As long as Derrick Rose stays healthy and has Rohr Deng, Millsap, Tegibson, Asik and others on the team, the Bulls are not weak and may be able to compete with the Nets in the East.
When Wade participated in the draft, he most wanted to join the Bulls, but unfortunately he missed it.
Only the Heat are willing to give Kobe Bryant a two-year contract with a high salary, and the team is completely hopeless and must be rebuilt. The Heat had exactly the same idea as the Mavericks last season, using Kobe's popularity and singles to attract fans and clean up all the garbage contracts after two seasons.
Kobe Bryant wanted a three-year contract that no one gave him, and he was 39 years old after three years. In fact, the team that Kobe Bryant wants to join the most is also the Bulls, and the lineup looks pretty good, but the Bulls have the Warriors' CBA teammate Roel Deng on the wing, how can they want Kobe?
Through Luo Erden's dictation, the manager can roughly guess what the result of Kobe Bryant's arrival is.
Kobe Bryant wanted a high salary, but he ruthlessly rejected the Heat, if he went to the bottom for two consecutive years, what is the point of him joining? Do you just brush the data, admit that you are a brush and a cancer, and then retire gloomily?
The new season is almost underway, and the 76ers, who want to make a difference next season, have saved Kobe.
After sending away David Lee and Jrue Holiday away, the 76ers have plenty of salary space, no big-name stars, and the most famous players on the team are only DeAndre Jordan and Garnett in the decline.
The 76ers are not weak overall, with Thaddeus Young, Evan Turner and others all having good offensive power.
They also traded Jason Richardson, who has championship experience, from the Suns last season, and Guo Xu's hair is small. Richardson can occasionally make a cameo appearance at the No. 4 position, and Earl Clarke can open up space to shoot three-pointers, and the breakthrough is not good.
The 76ers were eliminated in the second round last season and want to go to the next level this year......
