Chapter 803: Big Deals Keep Coming

This offseason has seen a number of superstar contracts expire, making it the largest free-for-trade market since 2010.

Among the free agents are LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony, LaMarcus Cousins and others.

The first to make the decision was James.

James didn't meet with a few teams and made decisions quickly.

At James's age, there are still four or five years left in his peak, and he will be a real veteran in the future, so how to choose the last stop is very important.

Outcome...... James made his decision on the show:

"The Los Angeles Lakers were my last choice."

"I could have gotten a bigger contract in Cleveland, but obviously I'm not in it for the money, the Lakers have a better roster and coach, and we're more likely to win a championship."

Qin Yang didn't believe it when he heard this.

James certainly wasn't in it for the money, just for the big market and economic benefits of Los Angeles.

According to TNT experts, playing in Los Angeles, James' economic value can increase by at least $200 million, which is good news for both the NBA and James.

Of course, the message is more than that.

The Lakers now have Millsap, the other rookies are also very good, the team is coached by Walton, everything is very good, and next year, the Lakers are likely to chase other superstars, including Klay Thompson and others.

So, James' choice is not bad.

After James made his decision, Durant also quickly made a decision and signed a 1+1 contract with the Warriors.

Durant has the right to jump out of his contract next year.

Now the Warriors' Death Five is no longer flawed. Curry, Thompson, Durant, Iguodala, Draymond Green died five small, reached a peak.

Qin Yang frowned when he received the call from Kuban:

"Next season, the Warriors are a big rival!"

Last season, the Warriors were not easy to play, the Splash Brothers were very strong, attracting too much defense, and if it weren't for the rest of the Warriors not being able to stand up, it would be difficult for the Mavericks to win.

The addition of Durant makes up for the last flaw of the Warriors.

And after Durant and James each confirmed their choices, the Mavericks finally completed their biggest addition of the season.

At the press conference, Paul George's arrival caused a stir.

"I want to play with Bruce, we worked together in the All-Star Game, he's a really good leader, and I hope to win a championship with him."

Paul George signed a three-year contract, 86 million for three years, and an annual salary of less than 30 million, which is not very high.

But it is still a little higher than Kevin Durant's more than 50 million in two years, and in terms of strength, Paul George is a little worse than Kevin Durant.

Therefore, this reinforcement is not very successful in terms of book strength.

In an interview with the media, Paul George was already in a state of mind: "The main reason I joined Dallas was that I was respected, I wanted to be respected by the team, I wanted to be respected by my teammates, that's all, if there is hope, I want to play in Dallas until I retire." ”

As soon as these words came out, many details were also revealed by the media.

Among them, there are the most rumors about the Lakers and the Thunder.

The Lakers don't pay enough attention to Paul George in many ways, and last season, Paul George publicly stated that he would not renew his contract next season and would join the Lakers.

So hopefully the Pacers traded themselves to the Lakers.

Paul George's approach itself is not authentic, but the Pacers didn't say much and were willing to trade with the Lakers, but the Lakers were cheating.

Take out garbage contracts and average players to trade Paul George.

It's nothing short of an insult to the walkers.

As a result, the Pacers swore to the death.

The Lakers didn't hold out either.

A superstar is so desperate for the team, and it stands to reason that the Lakers can trade one or two potential rookies to get Paul George, which is a very good deal.

But the Lakers don't do it.

Pit!

By this time, Paul George was already sad.

What's even sadder is still to come, the Lakers chase James, don't pay much attention to Paul George, and treat him as a spare tire.

As a result, James signed a contract, and the existence of spare tires is of little significance.

Paul George has never been so angry, he can't bear it!

The Mavericks have been hooking up for a long time, and in this case, Paul George directly finalized the contract and decided to hug Qin Yang's thigh.

Hugging the thighs, if it was ten years ago, would definitely be sprayed facelessly.

But in the last seven or eight years, everyone has become accustomed to it.

The Thunder also wanted to renew Paul George's contract, but Paul George couldn't look down on it, and last season, Paul George's strength was unbearable. The Mavericks led by Qin Yang were pressed to the ground and rubbed over and over again, and Paul George almost couldn't think about it.

Staying with the Thunder this time is stupid!

Qin Yang called to invite Paul George, and there was no suspense in signing the contract.

After the Mavericks brought in the signings, the Rockets also re-signed Chris Paul, one of the saddest guards in NBA history.

For so many years, he has never made it to the Western Conference Finals.

Last season, when he transferred to the Rockets, Paul performed okay, but this season, Paul actually got a four-year, $140 million contract extension.

I don't say anything about this contract, maybe two years later, it's a garbage contract.

A point guard like Paul, who relies on speed and body to play, is prone to a significant decline in form as he gets older.

Maybe this time it makes a lot of Paul's fans feel bad, but the truth is that Paul's contract is really rubbish.

Now Team Rocket has no choice.

Other championship-level teams are reinforcing the team, and if the Rockets don't renew their contracts, they certainly won't have a chance to win the championship in the next few years.

James Harden will also leave when the time comes.

Team Rocket can only be reinforced.

Renewing Chris Paul has become an inevitable choice, there are very few players in the league who are stronger than Chris Paul, at least in point guard, except for Qin Yang, no one can now firmly suppress Chris Paul, James Harden has a strong offense, plus Paul, the Rockets may win the championship.

However......

In the next two years, Paul's contract is bound to pit the Rockets.

There is no suspense.

A lot of people think that Chris Paul is a technical point guard, and even when he's older, his performance isn't much worse.

But in reality, Paul's style of play is dominated by break-through points.

It's a lot like Westbrook in a way.

It's just that Paul is not as exclusive as Westbrook, and he originally intended to share the ball, that's all.

In most of the time, Paul breaks through and defends, and needs to rely on his super physical fitness, in terms of point guards, in addition to Qin Yang's huge height advantage, Paul faces other point guards, speed, and strength are advantageous, and almost no one can be it.

That's why the Hornets intended to trade Paul to the Clippers after Paul's injury.

With the Clippers, Paul's stats haven't dropped much, but his performance on the court is not as good as that of the Hornets.
