Unsurprisingly, the Knicks' next signing was a big move.

History and Yang Rui's past life have changed, and Carmelo Anthony failed to move to the Knicks last season and stayed with the Nuggets. The Knicks are without a group of potential rookies, and the Nuggets can't look down on other teams' chips. They also want to pack Anthony and Billups, and no team can eat them.

The most aggressive in chasing Anthony is the Rockets, and Anthony doesn't look down on the Rockets. The reason why owner Alexander wants Anthony is not because he likes him, but because he wants to get a star to increase the value of the team, and when he sells the team, the price can be higher, and this summer, he is not ready to play.

Anthony jumped out of the final year of his Nuggets contract and entered free agency, and the Knicks offered him a maximum salary on the 10th. During his time with the Nuggets, Anthony failed to prove his ability to lead the team, and the Nuggets were ready to rebuild, so they didn't match the contract and just let him go.

"Melon" has a bad reputation in Denver, fans now call him "Poison Melon", and after next season, Billups' contract will expire, and their rebuild will be very thorough.

With head coach George Karl fired, everyone can see that the Nuggets are ready to swing next season and pick a high-pick rookie as the new core.

Next season's rookie is in the spotlight, and the Nuggets are hoping to select "Bushy Eyebrow Kid" Anthony Davis, and even if they miss, there are plenty of strongmen in the selection.

On the same day, the Grizzlies gave the Clippers a restricted free man, center DeAndre Jordan offered a 4-year 43 million contract, which is a significant premium to his performance last season.

Dismantling other teams' lineups is a common trick used by many teams, and to everyone's surprise, Clippers management did not immediately match Jordan Jr.'s contract.

Yang Rui knows that Jordan Jr. has room for improvement on the defensive end, and it is not a loss to leave an annual salary of 10 million. But the Clippers' goal is to win the championship, and they can't develop him at all. And in the free market, there is now a player who is underestimated by everyone, the starting center of the Bobcats, and Tyson Chandler whose contract has expired.

In the 2010 World Championships, Yang Rui led Chandler, who mainly interfered on the defensive end, had strong rebounding ability, and had a high ball quotient, and liked to give the ball to his teammates outside the penalty area, rather than taking rebounds every time. His strength is not comparable to the current little Jordan.

Therefore, Yang Rui asked the management to negotiate with the Grizzlies to sign first and then exchange, and gave Chandler a 4-year contract of 40 million.

Chandler is a complete free man, he has not won a championship with the Mavericks, he averaged 29.1 minutes per game last season, 9.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 1.2 blocks, the statistics are average, and he has not yet made the playoffs. The Clippers offered him the largest contract he could get.

The Clippers are in Los Angeles, they are a championship team, and the head coach is still Yang Rui, and Chandler happily agreed.

On the 11th, only one day later, the Grizzlies were countered by the Clippers, and if the Clippers match the contract, the Grizzlies will have a bit of trouble in the new season, and they will not meet the league's minimum salary standard.

Because yesterday the Grizzlies made a big deal with the Lakers, sending Lamar Odom, Outlaw plus a 2012 second-round pick to Memphis, with the latter handing over chips to Pau Gasol and Ronnie Brewer.

There are more people who are optimistic about the Lakers again, and Pau Gasol has been able to play consistent star stats and is one of the four big forwards in the league, but he just lacks individual accolades. Brewer is also a good defensive perimeter, with a flaw of poor shooting.

The Grizzlies are willing to ask Odom because they fancy him with one year left on his expiring contract, and he can free up salary space by playing a dozen casually, and he can cut him directly with a few games, and he only needs to give Odom 2 million compensation.

The goal of the Grizzlies is also to swing and rebuild. If Jordan Jr. is not signed, the team can't cut Odom, and there will be no one to cut again, and the league can't explain it, is this to quit the NBA?

The Grizzlies wanted to poach former star power forward David West of the Hornets on the 11th, but West wanted to join a strong team and chose the Pacers for 2 years and $20 million.

If it weren't for the Clippers' power forward Griffin, who would not be needed, West's first choice would be the Clippers. Three days after the free market opened, the big fish have already determined their next home, and the grizzly bears have been in retreat for two years.

After discussing it again, the Grizzlies sent a protected first-round pick and trade exception for 5 years, and poached Jordan Jr. into the lineup.

It's also a good thing for Jordan Jr., who has a lot of opportunities to play with the Grizzlies, and is definitely the starting center, and there is no competition for the No. 5 spot.

Online fans have mixed reviews, with some fans feeling that Chandler is more suited to be a starting center with rich experience and excellent defense, and has also worked with Paul at the Hornets, making him a good championship puzzle. There are also pseudo-fans who like Jordan Jr. and think that he can dunk better than Chandler, and it would be a pity to send him away.

The Clippers' second pick was another Grizzlies poacher, giving veteran forward Sean Battier a three-year, $9 million contract.

Yang Rui is good at dismantling the lineup, and this time it is the turn of the knights. Battier has received a total of two more sincere long-term contract offers, and the other is from the Cavaliers, which is also 9 million for 3 years.

The Clippers could offer a higher salary, which Yang didn't do, and he thought it would be more interesting to give the option to Battier, just like he gave the option to James and Wade last season.

It's better to bring a player who doesn't put on a show, and let him do whatever he wants, just like Rasheed Wallace of the Lakers back then.

Battier isn't a big name, but he's a great 3-and-D player who can play in the defensive system. If Battier chooses the Cavaliers, Yang Rui will find someone else to replace him, and he will express regret to Battier in an interview.

Battier was smart and didn't hesitate to choose the Clippers. Not only is Yang Rui good at leading the team to win, but the geographical gap is too big, giving up Los Angeles to Cleveland, except for James's brother, who will do this?

As soon as the news was announced, the rejected Cavaliers management was depressed, and James' confidence was reduced a little, and the Cavaliers Big Three were already pessimistic before the season began.

What the Cavaliers need most is a good wing defender, and it would be perfect to shoot threes. If Battier doesn't come, they will have to rely on James Jones and McMiller in the new season, and their strength has not been strengthened.

It is not enough for the Clippers to have Chandler a center who can resist, Yang Rui proposed to sign another center, who will not play a lot of time, and can be a qualified meat shield to defend the restricted area.

O'Hill contacted the liberty center according to Yang Rui's arrangement, and signed Aaron Gray with a one-year salary, a 213CM tall and 122kg insider, and 19 rookies in the second round in 2007.

Gray isn't just a trainee doctor, he's an authentic center with a strong physique, an excellent rebounder and a low-post defender who plays with a very aggressive style of play and relies primarily on strength to win.

In the past two years, he has developed some low-post offensive skills, and his shooting touch is soft, allowing him to take on more tasks. His weakness is that he has too close range, can only score more points in the low post, and has a poor free throw shooting percentage. His running and jumping qualities are average, his mobility is lacking, and he often feels bulky. His vision is also not wide enough, and there are many passing errors under the bag.

Last season, Gray played in 41 games for the Hornets, playing 12.9 minutes and finishing with 3.1 points and 4.1 rebounds. Just looking at the stats is not a big deal, the actual Gray rebounding efficiency is amazing, and the playing time is too short. He excels at defending the top in the low post and protecting rebounds in the backcourt.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Gray retired in 15 years due to heart problems, and now he is 27 years old and healthy.
