Chapter 804: It's the finale again

The Hornets made a trade that didn't lose money.

After re-signing Paul, the Rockets began to chase Carmelo Anthony again.

The melon is now a bitter gourd, the Thunder team doesn't want it, since they can't win the championship, why keep the big contract of bitter gourd?

The Thunder also wanted to trade, but no one wanted to.

More than 30 million garbage contracts?

The league doesn't get worse than that.

The weak team is waiting to develop a rookie and has no interest in the social melon, only the strong team that wants to win the championship is interested in the melon, but no one wants to make a deal.

Eventually, at the end of the offseason, the Thunder finally reached a buyout agreement with Melon.

Melon was bought out on his final year contract and became a free agent.

The Thunder can no longer pay the luxury tax.

Then Melon joined the Rockets and signed a one-year contract with a base salary, which means obviously, having won the championship this year, Melon still wants a big contract.

This...... Where did the courage come from.

Melon is now offensively disadvantaged, defensively unfavorable, not three, not four, few teams are willing to want, at least before Melon buys out, want to join the Mavericks, manager Don Nelson Jr. refused.

What do you want melons for, it's far less good than Nurkic.

After all the superstars were signed, the market fell silent all at once.

Last year, all managers knew that the team's annual salary was going to be raised, and all dared to sign big contracts, but after a year, many teams regretted it.

That was perhaps the year in which garbage contracts were generated the most.

Many teams are starting to get their hands dirty.

The free market, all of a sudden, was quiet.

At this time, everyone forgot about another superstar, Cousins.

Cousins suffered a serious shoulder and knee injury last year and needs a year off and is not expected to return until around this year's All-Star break, so the Partridges chose not to renew his contract.

Cousins became a free man.

But an embarrassing scene arose......

The superstars of the previous two years were overlooked by everyone this offseason.

An injured superstar, who plays on physicality, has a short temper, kicks out two head coaches, and falls out with his teammates...... No one dared to ask for it.

No team dares to ask for it, and no team makes a qualification offer.

Hold the grass, it's embarrassing.

Waiting until the offseason is almost over, Cousins hasn't found a place to play next season.

It's hard.

At the end of September, after Lily had just given birth to a lovely son, Qin Yang received a call from Little Nelson.

"Cousins wants to join the Mavericks, what do you think?"

"What?"

Qin Yang was shocked.

But after thinking about it, Qin Yang hesitated again, this is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, Cousins joined, he couldn't play in the short term, and the run-in was not necessarily good at that time, and if it affected the atmosphere of the team, it would be embarrassing, so signing Cousins was not necessarily a good thing.

"Nielsen manager, I suggest not to sign a very long contract, give a short-term small contract, in case it doesn't work, just don't renew the contract next year."

"Good!"

Manager Don Nelson nodded.

Qin Yang left the Kings at the beginning, largely because Cousins, the new core of the Kings, wanted to be the boss, and the two couldn't get along, so Qin Yang left.

Therefore, the little Nielsen manager must listen to Qin Yang's opinion.

If Qin Yang doesn't agree, the Mavericks will definitely not sign Cousins.

As a result, Qin Yang agreed, and the little Nielsen manager also began to contact.

Cousins was seriously injured, and it was basically impossible to participate before the All-Star break, so the signing was actually not difficult, and few other teams had contact with Cousins, and Cousins took the initiative to come and want the championship, so the contract must be a big deal.

Although it is a big deal, it can't be too small for a one-year contract.

Eventually, the Mavericks signed Cousins to a one-year, four-million-dollar mid-range contract.

As soon as this contract came out, the entire league was shocked.

"The NBA finale has arrived, and next year's championship may be the least suspenseful in the NBA in the last 50 years, and United Energy should stop the Mavericks from signing."

"The Mavericks have a four-star roster, which makes other teams play, and before Cousins signed, the Warriors and Rockets were the strongest teams in the league, but this signing proves that the best option for other teams next season is to play badly, because there are a lot of potential rookies next year."

"Four-star Mavericks, four-star Warriors, four-star Rockets, how can other teams play?"

"This is probably the most stark season in NBA history, and all but three or five teams can choose to rot as soon as possible."

……

It's a little too scary.

The Mavericks are very strong, and in the past two years, Gobert is also known as a superstar, bringing the previous Kevin Durant and Qin Yang, and the Mavericks' three-star lineup has almost beaten the entire league. Now that Durant is gone, Paul George has been added, and it stands to reason that the first is a little weaker.

But now that Cousins has joined, the Mavericks' strength has increased instead of decreasing.

The Rockets are a combination of Ann Bulbs, Melon, Harden, Paul, though...... It's not a big name, lo exploded, but there is no doubt that Team Rocket is strong.

Add Capela and Gordon to the mix, and the lineup is incredibly thick.

The Warriors signed Kevin Durant to fill in that last bit of flaw. In this way, the Warriors are very strong and strong.

The Mavericks didn't sign Cousins, the Rockets, the Warriors still have a fight, and even the Celtics can fight it.

But if Cousins joins, then the other teams really won't have to play.

Perhaps the only good news for other teams is that Cousins will miss most of the season, and when the All-Star Game returns, who knows how much form there will be.

When the time comes, the state is not good, the team run-in is not good, and other teams still have a chance.

Otherwise, this game will not be played.

Even so, the news of Cousins' arrival caused an uproar in the league.

But on the TV show, Cousins expressed his wishes:

"I didn't initially have the idea of joining the Mavericks, in fact, I could go to any team, and in the beginning I wanted to stay with the Partridges, but obviously the Partridges didn't like to keep me, they didn't give me any contract, and no one from the other teams contacted me."

'Everybody thinks I'm out of shape since I've been injured, that I don't deserve a big contract, that I'm a cancer in the dressing room, but I'm not that person.

"I called Bruce and eventually I chose to join Dallas, maybe I'll only be here for a year, but I'll prove myself."

Cousins went to hug his thighs, and there were still many people who had opinions, but as soon as the TV show came out, no one said anything.

Before joining the Mavericks, everyone thought that Cousins was a cancer, and there was no team to give him a middle-class contract, and now that he has joined the Mavericks, it is considered the NBA finale, affecting the balance of the league, which is too undisciplined.

Of course, it's not entirely good for the Mavericks.
