After the All-Star weekend, the Wizards management quickly replied to Yang Rui, willing to give him the right to trade and draft, have an equal voice with the manager in the management, and offer a high salary of 30 million for 5 years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There is still a long time before the end of the season, and the two sides have reached a verbal agreement that as long as this contract is signed, Yang Rui will enter the ranks of top coaches.

In 1999, Phil Jackson signed a long-term contract with the Lakers, and it was only 5 years and 30 million, Jackson's qualifications are much higher than Yang Rui, and the two will be the highest-paid coaches in the NBA next season, Pat Riley, Nelson Sr. and others do not have this treatment.

Signing Yang Rui, no one in the Wizards management objected, the strength of the Raptors in four seasons is obvious to all, and Yang Rui's achievements in leading the team are enough to make people ignore his age.

The regular season continued, and when Yang Rui was in Toronto, he had dinner with Glenn Gruward and owner Richard Pedy, indicating that this was his last season with the Raptors.

Raptors management often asks Yang Rui about his intention to renew his contract, and is willing to offer a high salary to retain him on the best terms. Yang Rui had a very happy time here, and everyone had never had a conflict, so he didn't want to hide it from them.

"This season we won the championship together and we have no regrets. There will be a great coach who will be willing to join the Raptors in the summer, or keep Tom (Thibodeau), and he can do well. ”

Richard smiled wryly: "I don't think anyone is doing better than you, are you leaving Toronto for your girlfriend?" I see that the movie you invested in is about to be released. ”

"No, I just want to change the environment, find some excitement, and live a more fun life." Yang Rui smiled: "So, I will choose to go to a bad team." ”

"Can you tell me where you're going?" Glenn asked.

"Confidentiality."

The Wizards are also in the East and will be a rival to the Raptors next season. For this perverted team built by himself, Yang Rui has little confidence to defeat.

In the summer, Brad Miller, O'Neal Jr. is completely free and wants to leave or renew, they can call the shots. Coupled with Carter's contract extension with the maximum salary, it is impossible for the Raptors to keep the full roster.

Even so, the Raptors lineup is terrible enough, Reed, Kirilenko, and Parker are all excellent immediate, as long as the coach who takes over has no problem with his brain, the Raptors are still strong.

The two blessed Yang Rui and did not show any dissatisfaction, Yang Rui has done enough for the team.

At the trade deadline, there were only a handful of trades in the league, and there were fewer teams that were motivated to win the championship.

The Mavericks have a habit of making last-minute surprises, and last season they traded five men at the deadline in exchange for Juwan Howard. This year, the Mavericks acquired former All-Star guard Van Exel, center Lafrentz, French guard Waghard and former Spurs championship team guard Avery Johnson from the Nuggets.

The Nuggets acquired former All-Stars Juvan Howard, Tim Haddawi, fringe power forward Harvey and a 2002 first-round pick.

The Mavericks' biggest weakness is the center position, LaFerencz is more suitable to partner with Nowitzki than Howard, he has outstanding physical qualities, balanced offense and defense, averaging 14.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.6 steals and 3 blocks per game this season, shooting 46.6% from the field and 43.4% from three-point range.

There are many big men in the Mavericks who can shoot, and Wang Zhizhi's status in the team is bound to be affected.

The Kings and Yang Rui have changed in their previous lives, and they were supposed to trade point guard Jason Williams for Mike Bibby last summer. But the Grizzlies have Byron Davis and are improving every season, and there is no shortage of point guards. That famous deal was aborted.

Jason Williams' style of play has attracted a lot of fans, but he doesn't like to pass the ball head-on in order to get on the top five. In terms of strength, he is not as good as Bibi, the organization is not stable enough, and the defense is even inferior.

This Kings team is a little weaker than Yang Rui's previous life, and it will be difficult to beat the Lakers.

On deadline day, the Grizzlies wanted to change the shooting guard and sent Bibby to the Rockets for Rockets shooting guard Michael Dixon.

Dixon has stayed healthy with the Rockets and has had good stats this season, averaging 16.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Bibby has a slightly inferior stats because of limited ball possession, and he also has 13.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5 assists in the Grizzlies, which is a win-win deal.

In addition to trading Dixon, the Rockets also want to send "Big Dream" Olajuwon. Olajuwon wanted to compete for a championship and didn't want to hurt the Rockets, so he signed a small contract first, and then wanted to trade to other teams to get the Rockets back players or draft picks. In the summer, the Rockets offered a three-year, $13 million contract for the 38-year-old Dream but were rejected.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Olajuwon joined the Raptors, and the Raptors management thought that the team had 7 games with Iverson in the Eastern Conference Finals the year before, and there were first-line superstars like Carter, plus Olajuwon could hit the championship.

As a result, the deal pitted the Raptors, and two draft picks were exchanged for a year of big dreams, and it didn't change the team. Although the Raptors reached the playoffs in '02, Carter was injured and the team was knocked out by the Pistons in the first round. After that, Big Dream retired, and in '03 the team went straight to the lotto.

Now the Raptors certainly don't need Olajuwon, and other strong teams are unwilling to send draft picks to exchange for a veteran who is about to retire, and Olajuwon can only finish from scratch in the Rockets. In a sense, this is also good news.

The Knicks put "Madman" Sprewell on the shelf, but unfortunately his reputation was too bad for no team willing to give away good chips and was forced to stay with the team.

The person the Knicks would prefer to send away is Grant Hill, who has the highest salary on the team, is reimbursed for two consecutive seasons, and the team has to pay a lot of luxury tax.

This season, the Knicks' goal is to be bad, the perimeter players have poor defense, and Ben Wallace is not doing anything, and the doppelganger is weak. The reason for the decline in defense is that the team let go of Bruce Bowen and regretted it.

Now Bowen is the starting small forward with the Spurs, and he's mixing well.

Raptors players suffered another injury in February, but fortunately they were not core players.

Substitute center Mark Jackson suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee and was out for the season. He's been unlucky, this season is a contract year, and if not reimbursed, he's almost certain to get a stable contract. This injury, whether the Raptors or any other team, will consider his injury history when signing.

Having been waiting for his chance on the bench, the team's number one sparring partner, Jalen Collins, finally got a chance to play. Without Jackson, the Raptors interior lineup is slightly weaker, but it's not the end of the world, they still have two meat shields.

Substitute swingman veteran Dan Marley also missed at least four weeks with a right wrist injury, which had little impact on the team.

The Raptors have lost only three games this month and lead the league with a 52-7 record, but there is little hope of breaking the record again.

On March 5, the Raptors challenged the Rockets away, and Carter was injured again.

Carter made a layup on a break-through mid-range pull-up, dodged and moved in the gap to shoot the ball to the basket, and immediately jumped twice to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, stepping on Eddie Griffin's foot and spraining his ankle when he landed.

For a star who loves to jump, even if there is no Bruce Bowen to make it bad, he will be able to step on someone else's foot sooner or later, which is inevitable in chance.

Carter's injury is not serious, and it is necessary to rest for two weeks, and for the sake of insurance, he has to be observed by the team doctor, and if he can't, he will rest for another two weeks. Yang Rui does not let players play with injuries and wants to keep his strength in the playoffs.
