Chris Paul ultimately opted to join the Mavericks.

This is a win-win signing, the Mavericks have strengthened the weakest No. 1 position, plus Monta Ellis, Jack Crowder, Nowitzki, Marion, Gasol Jr., Brandon White and others, the overall strength is good, and the replacement of the old and the new has been completed.

Paul will be the Mavericks' outside leader and even the team's No. 1 core in the future, Nowitzki is old, and he has to give up his core position to help young players grow and play a veteran role.

Other teams that wanted Paul were disappointed, especially the Cavaliers, who had locked up their salary space and had to make a sign-and-trade deal, and the Clippers were not interested in doing so, and that first point stuck their way.

James could only watch his good brother Paul join the Mavericks and miss the opportunity to play "more brother basketball".

The competition in the west has become more intense. The overall strength of the Mavericks is much stronger than that of Yang Rui in the same period in his previous life, if Paul does not join, the management can only switch to Calderon and sign a 4-year 29 million bad contract.

Signing a star, everything is different, the Mavericks have become very attractive, attracting more quality players in the free market to take pay cuts and "hold their legs".

Devin Harris, who is injured and in declining form, joins with a year's salary and is willing to be Paul's backup. As long as he can play, he can play a role, and his strength is worthy of a mini middle class, and the Mavericks earn it.

The Mavericks also signed interior lineman DeJuan Blair with a base salary, bringing their roster to 15. Blair may be short, athletic and powerful, and his addition could add depth to the Mavericks' roster.

Paul held a press conference and said that he was very happy and that joining the Mavericks was a good choice and a new start.

Some were happy, others were very depressed, and the same day the Celtics traded small forward Paul Pierce to the Heat. Pierce wants to die with the Celtics, just like Carter did with the Raptors.

After Garnett's departure, many teams have their eyes on Pierce, believing that the Green Army will completely rebuild, and mid-term manager Angie said in an interview: "We need some direction, and it's tough when some of your experienced players are getting older and the younger players are trying to fit in. But at the same time, we'd love to see our young core coached by Pierce. There were a lot of good things that could go in either direction. ”

It sounds like Pierce won't be traded, but he didn't see a good chip until the Heat showed up. The Heat are willing to send two draft picks, which can help the Celtics rebuild quickly, and Pierce instantly went from a veteran to a burden that hinders the development of newcomers, and the NBA is so realistic.

The Heat's purpose is simple, to attract fans with Pierce's popularity, draft picks are protected, and the value is not outrageous.

Anji's business acumen is also very clear, and her methods are sharp and decisive.

In front of "Big Bird" Larry Bird and the Cardinals, he dared to question why the team did not trade Bird, which became one of the triggers for him to be traded by the Celtics when he was a player. However, the long period of decline after the Green Army may prove that Ange's point is right, any team must complete the change of dynasty in time, otherwise it will be passively beaten.

Even more frustrating than Pierce is the fact that there are people who are forced to keep the "loyal" team, and that is the Cavaliers Big Three.

Cavaliers management was desperate for a trade, but Cleveland's location was too bad for a big-name star to join. Bosh and Wade are in declining form, and they are called "pseudo-giants", and they can't get back strongmen.

The Cavaliers haven't been able to rebuild right away, and if they trade Bosh and Wade back for role players or rookies, James is likely to explode on the spot.

Others have no trade value, the middle-class Mike Miller has been reduced to a fringe man, and Vallejo has a big contract and is constantly injured. To make matters worse, Ray Allen felt that the Cavaliers had no hope and jumped out of the second year of his contract to enter free agency.

With the team's sixth man gone, how will the Cavaliers compete with the Nets in the new season?

After consideration, the Cavaliers management decided to keep the "Big Three", and all three of them can choose to jump out of the contract next season and become completely free agents, so that the Cavaliers do not renew their contracts, do not sign first and then change, and let them go for nothing, which not only saves face for the stars, but also frees up salary space. In the 13-14 season, the Cavaliers can also rely on the residual heat of the Big Three to attract some fans.

Then, Ray Allen joined the Mavericks on a free transfer. No matter who starts Ray Allen or Ellis, the Mavericks' No. 2 position is not weak.

The Clippers have gone to Paul, an MVP-level star, and the only big-name stars are Curry and Griffin, and many media outlets have begun to discuss their chances of defending their title again. Next season, the Clippers will run out of strength on the roster.

Clippers fans are a little worried, now the competitors are all Big Three, F4, Five Heroes, Six Gods and other configurations, the Clippers rely on the internal and external dual core plus Chandler, can they build a dynasty?

To this end, a Los Angeles sports reporter conducted an exclusive interview with Yang Rui.

"It's going to be harder than last season to win a championship, but I don't regret giving up on Paul, it's a waste to have two MVP-caliber point guards on a team," Yang said. Paul goes to other teams, and both point guards can play their best, which should be what most fans want to see. ”

The reporter asked: "The Clippers have salary space even if they re-sign Curry, so why not bring in a star from another position?" ”

That's a question for a lot of people, the Clippers have three high-paid players, Curry, Griffin, Chandler, Guy in the middle class, and everyone else is cheaper. Last season, Paul was on a high salary, Curry was still on a rookie contract, and the Clippers won two championships and had yet to pay the luxury tax.

Yang Rui smiled: "I think the players who are suitable for the team's offensive and defensive system are already in the team, and they are the newcomers I selected." I'm going to give them more opportunities next season and try to develop them into stars as soon as possible. I never think that a player who is famous means strong, and a lot of people who don't have data and don't have fame, once they are given a chance, they will soar. ”

The reporter asked: "Which rookies do you think the Clippers are expected to become All-Stars right now?" Can you name a few names? ”

"Draymond Green, Chris Middleton, I'm most optimistic about their future. Draymond is tough defensively, he's worked hard, he's well-rounded on both ends of the floor, he's improved a lot, and I think he'll be able to take on more next season. Chris is also the type with a balance of offense and defense, he can be organized, and he is good at shooting. The most important thing is that they are obedient and will play strictly according to the coach's arrangement. ”

The reporter asked: "Have you ever coached a disobedient star?" ”

Yang Rui shrugged. "You always like to lead the topic to controversial aspects in your interviews, do you want me to name someone and say that he can't be adjusted, or that he plays too alone, and ignores his teammates, or something like that? Don't waste your time, no matter how many people say that about him, I won't say it. ”

The reporter smiled and diverted the topic. 'Will there be a big change in the team's tactics next season? After all, the attacks had been initiated by Paul in the past. ”

"Yes, the Clippers will definitely be able to play more passionately, and we averaged 123 points per game last season, which is just one point away from breaking the NBA team's single-season scoring record. We will continue to try to beat that record next season. ”

Yang Rui often emphasizes his philosophy - attack to win!

Only if the team maintains a beautiful attack can it always attract fans. Next season, Yang Rui also plans to let Curry make more shots and compete for a scoring title, so that his popularity will be consolidated.
