Chapter 543 [Rookie Flash, Large Transaction]
This year, the old collective bargaining agreement in the NBA expired, and the negotiation process of the new agreement went very smoothly, and it was finalized on the 22nd, and it was not shut down again as in 1998. There is a tacit understanding between the two sides, and if it is shut down again, it will not benefit anyone.
Harmony makes money, and kindness is great.?
There were some new rules in place, and Stern was a strong advocate for limiting the age at which players could enter the NBA, and he finally succeeded, and starting next year, players under the age of 19 and high school students will not be able to participate in the draft, which means that there will be no more miracles for high school students like James, Garnett and Kobe.
This is bad news for many scumbags, and because of this, there are a lot of people who participated in the draft after graduating from high school this year, and there are exactly ten high school students who have been selected, which is a summary of high school players.
The benefits of this new rule are obvious, many potential high school students enter the league early, and they are not as good as older players in terms of confrontation and mentality, so it is difficult to get a chance to perform, and the chance of injury is still very high. Instinctively become a good seedling of a star, it would be a pity if he wasted his age.
In addition, the maximum contract length of an NBA player has been reduced from seven years to six years. This is to avoid the occurrence of ultra-long bad contracts, many people are in the contract year outbreak, after signing the long contract, they can't work, and the state is seriously declining. What's even more outrageous is that some players have been retired for many years and are still receiving high salaries in the team.
On July 1, the new agreement was officially implemented and the NBA free agency was opened.
Lakers management has announced a two-year contract extension with free agent Luke Wharton, and although he will certainly remain on the fringes of the team next season, at least he has time to prove himself and potentially become a member of the dynasty team, which is a lifetime of glory.
On July 6, Louis Williams and Monta Ellis represented the Lakers in the Summer League in Long Beach, with Jeff Hornacek and Scott Brooks leading the team, one offense and one defense.
The Bucks previously invited Hornacek to be the team's head coach, but Lao Huo was also willful and refused, willing to stay with the Lakers as the first assistant coach.
He felt that Milwaukee was too bad and that the roster had no future. The family had settled well in Los Angeles, and he didn't want to go to a small eastern place. If it's to join a strong team or go back to Utah to coach, he's definitely going to go.
Lionel Hollins left, and the Magic offered a three-year contract. Last season, the Magic's offensive power was not weak, mainly because the defense was not good enough, Hollins was originally known for defense, and he also learned offense with Yang Rui on the Lakers coaching staff and entered the sight of the Magic management.
History has changed again, and once Hollins joins the Magic, he is bound to lead the team to strengthen, and it will be difficult for Stan Van Gundy to join again in 2007.
The Lakers have no shortage of assistant coaches, Divac succeeded Hollins into the coaching staff, Hojberg is not qualified to take over, and can only retire first after getting the ring and wait for the opportunity.
This time, there were a number of high-pick rookies who participated in the Summer League, and in addition to Bogut, Paul also played for the Hornets, and his performance was very eye-catching, he could score and deliver beautiful assists.
The Lakers also have a good record under the leadership of two guards, with 4 wins and 1 loss.
Ellis was the best, he was only 191CM tall, but he played in the No. 2 position, playing with Louis Williams, counterattacking with incredible speed and always breaking through.
There are no particularly strong people on the inside line who participate in the summer league, and they basically have flaws, either rough brothers who can't shoot, or big men with empty height, slow movement speed, and poor defense.
Once there is a misalignment on the court, the Lakers two newcomers can play.
Ellis averaged 23.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in the summer league, shooting 46.2% from the field and 35% from three-point range. Luis was slightly behind, chipped in 16.6 points and 2.7 assists, and as a point guard, he had too few assists.
The Lakers didn't win the championship just because the interior players had poor defense, and the management was very satisfied with the rookies' performance, and Kupchak signed 2+1 contracts with both of them, guaranteed for the first two years, and a team option for the third year.
NBA teams are trading, recruiting, some strengthening the roster to compete for the championship, and some starting to rebuild.
Jeff Van Gundy left the Pistons, who announced in mid-July that they had signed former Timberwolves coach Philip Sanders.
After 98 years, Van Gundy Jr. has never been able to lead the team to play in the playoffs, but because he led the Knicks to defeat the Bulls and win the championship, the evaluation is much higher than Yang Rui's previous life, and it is not difficult to find a job.
The Nets completed a trade with the Trail Blazers, trading the 2006 first-round pick and trade exception for injury-prone power forward Abdo Raheem. Finding a sick number to substitute for another one, Kenyon Martin, the Nets manager is really talented.
The Rockets, who lack a power forward, still choose to sign with Grizzlies libero Swift, and they are full of mid-range and are destined to be pitted.
The Raptors signed Spanish guard Jose Calderon as a backup for Billups, Calderon was a non-draft pick into the NBA, with distinctive characteristics, organization, accurate shooting, and the Raptors have strengthened in the new season.
The Bobcats signed Wizards forward Gerard Wallace for 5 years and 43 million, which is cheaper than Yang Rui's previous life, because his statistics on the Wizards are average. Jordan thinks highly of Gerrard, but the Wizards don't value him, thinking that he is just a blue-collar worker, without Gerald, the wing defense is weak, and the Wizards will be difficult to play next season.
The Heat, Grizzlies and others made a record number of big trades involving multiple teams.
The Heat got Celtics forward Antoine Walker, Kings "White Chocolate" Jason Williams and Grizzlies small forward James Posey.
Grizzlies got Eddie Jones, guard Lopez.
Jazz got "Great White Bear" Ostertag.
The Celtics got Bochart, Heat's Günther Woods, Spanish rookie center Mirals, two second-round picks and some cash from the Jazz.
The Kings got Grizzlies swingman Bunch Wells.
The Hornets got Rassell Butler for the Heat and Kirk Schneider for the Jazz.
Just one day later, the Celtics, who sent Walker away and cleared salary space, signed a five-year, 80 million contract with Bucks free agent Ray Allen. Ray Allen had enough of being in the Bucks and teamed up with Pierce ahead of time.
The Bucks signed Bobby Simmons of the Clippers for 47 million in 5 years, a very bold and brain-dead decision, and countless people on the Internet complained, because Simmons was in the Wizards back then, and Yang Ruibai sent the Clippers.
The Mavericks cut the team's captain, small forward Michael Finley, freeing up salary space while freeing up a spot for Josh Howard, but the Mavericks still couldn't offer a big enough contract extension for Joe Johnson.
The management was unwilling to send away Joe Johnson for nothing, and the Hawks signed and traded. The Hawks sent forward Devin George and two future first-round picks to get Joe Johnson on a five-year, $68 million contract.
Many experts think that this contract is too big, but Yang Rui knows that the Eagles have made money, George's contract is really too big, and Joe Johnson has the potential to become the "Eagle King".
The Mavericks didn't trade for quality players to fill the void of Joe Johnson's departure, but the salary situation is slightly better, and they can offer a mid-level contract to try to poach a good point guard, but unfortunately there are not many options this season. If we can't bring in strong reinforcements, the strength of the Mavericks will drop a lot compared to last season.
The Spurs took the opportunity to pick up a big leak, signing the veteran Finley on a three-year, 8.4 million super value contract, strengthening the weakest small forward position, and preparing to compete with the Lakers next season.
However, the Spurs' No. 1 position has declined, and Tinsley was poached by the Pacers.
