"This is really surprising, these two people together means that the pattern in the West may not be as easy as the Lakers think"

In the office of the chairman of the Boston Celtics, Zhuang Fei looked at the newspaper in his hand and said with a sigh, Kidd and Duncan's alliance is what Zhuang Fei can expect, after all, for the Spurs, the only player who can get in the free market this year and can greatly change the team's competitiveness is Kidd, in this year's finals, the reason why this team will lose to the Boston Celtics, most people think that this team was completely blown up by the Boston Kevolt in the No. 1 position, and this team's young starting No. 1 position, The jerky performance of the French sports car Tony Parker naturally received a lot of criticism after the finals.

Although Spurs head coach Popovich has been defending the young point guard, it is clear that if the Spurs want to attack the championship, then they must strengthen the team's No. 1 position, for now, although Tony Parker has unlimited potential, but there is no way to really become the champion point guard of a championship team, and compared with Parker, Kidd is much stronger at this point, if the Spurs' point guard in this year's Finals is replaced by Parker to Kidd, then it is difficult to say where this year's championship belongs, This is an all-round point guard in the league who is currently in the league, and the former Nets leader is also a top 10 superstar player in the league.

And a team can always be two of the league's top ten superstars, in addition to the current Spurs, there are only Los Angeles Lakers left, in this regard, the competition in the West this year will be extremely fierce, and the reason why Kidd's joining will cause a huge sensation is also because many people want to know that the Lakers and Spurs are also the top ten superstars in the league, who is stronger, and Zhuang Fei is the same, in his opinion, the strength of the Spurs is very close to the Lakers, this is not only that both teams have two top ten superstars, but in other ways as well.

In addition to these two superstars, the Spurs also have Parker, Eric Williams. Scola and Ragarbel have a large number of high-quality role players such as Marik Cross, of course, the Lakers will not be bad in this regard, in this way, these two teams are expected to be particularly entangled in the West, at least it is a little difficult for other teams in the West to wrestle with these two teams, especially after the retirement of the King's Divac, the strength of the King has also decreased compared to last season. And what will happen to the Timberwolves on the other side next season. Everyone can only wonder and question, so, for now, the West is already a stage for the Spurs and Lakers to compete.

"I think the Spurs are probably stronger than the Lakers, and the threat to us is greater, the Spurs are now in perfect defense, and the Lakers are not necessarily able to play the strength of all the players, of course, if it is just to fight for strength. I don't think anyone in the league can get the Lakers apart, and the single basketball game is not just about the individual ability of the team's players, and the Spurs do a more reasonable job in this regard.

Unlike Zhuang Fei, the Boston Celtics' assistant coach Thibodo is a typical defensive coach, and for this coach, the players he admires the most will never be players like Kobe and O'Neal. In the same way, such a head coach has a soft spot for players like Duncan and Kidd, so Zhuang Fei shook his head a little amusefully after hearing the words of his assistant.

Of course, although Zhuang Fei is not as optimistic about the Spurs as the Lakers like Thibodo, there is no doubt that the Spurs' strength is already incomparable in the Finals after obtaining the two biggest big fish in the free market this year, especially as Xiang Thibodu said. For now, the team is close to perfection defensively. And more importantly, the current Boston Celtics may not be able to break the defense against this team.

At least the Boston Celtics don't have players on the board to open the gap between Duncan or Kidd, and even the best swingman on the Boston Celtics team will struggle against the defenses of Ragabel and Eric Williams. The current Ragabel is not a lone man when he was with the 76ers, and in fact, even with the 76ers last season, Ragabel still caused a lot of trouble for Maddy.

The Spurs have made their team close to perfect in terms of lineup because of Kidd, but just like the Jazz, after losing their own leading player, the Nets have a taste of uncertain future in the new season, and more importantly, the owner of this team is in the midst of the problem of team resale, and there is not much interest in the team's strengthening, which is also a bit worse for this team. After all, there is no way to sign players who can replace him after going to Kidd, so it will be difficult for the Nets to enter the playoffs in the new season, at least just relying on young Jefferson and Martin is not enough.

Of course, like the Nets losing Kidd, the Grizzlies, who were bound to Duncan, also lost the greatest possibility of strengthening the team, although the super team in the league will not decline without the strength of Duncan's team, but it is obvious that if the team's interior offense is not strengthened, especially the interior offensive ability, then it is almost impossible for the Grizzlies to break through from the Boston Celtics in the next year. As long as the Boston Celtics can choke this team in the next game like they did in last season's playoffs, then the Grizzlies are expected to be even worse than last season, a super-strong team with obvious flaws. And such a flaw can still be found by the Boston Celtics.

So almost at the same time as losing Duncan, the Grizzlies once again targeted Bland, the Clippers leader of the Clippers who had another contract expired in the West, and Brand is currently in a fight with the Clippers, although the owner of the Clippers is ready to do a big job after inviting Dunleavy, but the childish nature of the Clippers owner is exposed when he talks with Brand about a contract extension, and the current NBA salary space is soaring today. The Clippers owner was stunned and offered Brand a humiliating five-year, 65 million contract, which was similar to the contract that the Timberwolves owner gave to Ginobili in the first place.

You know, as one of the few 20+10 players in the league, even if it was placed five years ago, it was more than 65 million in five years, let alone now? In this case, almost after the Grizzlies gave Brand a 6-year contract of 88 million, the leading player of the Clippers agreed almost without thinking about it, and the contract of the Bland Grizzlies is already the largest contract he can get, but if he can really go to the Grizzlies, it is also a very good thing, but it is extremely helpless that it is different from Duncan.

Brand is not a full free agent, he is a limited free agent, although he accepted the Grizzlies' offer but it is clear that he has no autonomy, if the Clippers match the Grizzlies' offer, then he can only stay with the Clippers, and in fact, the day after he accepted the Grizzlies' offer, the Clippers matched the Grizzlies' contract and forced Brand to stay with the Clippers. After losing Brand, it can also be seen that the Grizzlies are now casting a net everywhere in the free market to find a strong interior offensive player, but it is obvious that whether it is Malone, Duncan or Brand, they have no way to get it, which is definitely an extremely embarrassing thing for the Grizzlies.

In addition to the Grizzlies' embarrassment, the Wizards are actually very embarrassed, they want to keep the team's starting guard Hamilton, but Hamilton wants to leave, so he also accepted the 6-year 60 million offer contract from the Mavericks, but this Hamilton encountered the same embarrassment as Brand, because he was a restricted free agent, and finally the guard who wanted to leave the Wizards to go outside was finally matched by the Wizards, and then he was forced to stay with the Wizards.

In fact, it is not only Hamilton or Brand who is matched in this year's free market, but also New York's small forward Odom, as one of the most comprehensive players in the league, Odom has many suitors, whether it is the Mavericks or the Heat or the Pistons, etc., it is a blockbuster, plus the New York small forward and New York boss Marbury are not very good at dealing with each other, in this case, he also desperately wants to leave New York, just after he accepted the Mavericks' 5-year 60 million contract, But it was also matched by New York, you know, after New York matched his offer, the team with the highest salary in the league at present, the total salary has reached 79 million, close to 80 million, and the luxury tax for the new season will have to pay 14 million, and then add up with the salary, this team needs to spend about 100 million US dollars a year just on the player's salary, but the strength of this team is difficult to match their salary.

Of course, for this year's free market, the competition for players naturally cannot be as simple as Duncan and Kidd or Malone and Payton, such as the competition for the Kings Rockets for Brande Miller, and in the end the Kings also lost to the Rockets, after all, the current Kings cannot make a better offer than the Rockets, and in the end, the first-class interior line also stayed in Houston with a 7-year contract of 82 million, And like Brand, the last to stay with his old club after the end of the contract is the Cavaliers' Andre Miller and the Heat's double interior Mourning and PJ Brown, Mourning finally signed a 3-year 30 million pension contract, and PJ Brown also signed a 3-year 18 million pension contract, as for Andre Miller is a six-year 50 million contract extension, in addition to these people, the Pacers' Miller also renewed his contract with the Pacers for two years with a veteran base salary.

With the renewal of players in the free market in 2003, this year's hot free market is about to come to an end, and when the Grizzlies announced that they would sign Juwan Howard, who averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds per game in the Suns last season, with a five-year contract of 28 million, it also announced that all the dust on this year's free market has settled.
