Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 363



A few days after the NBA free market opened, there were many big deals. The most shocking thing was that the Lakers formed the "F4.".

The Lakers signed Carl Malone and Gary Payton one after another. O'Neill began to prepare for this since he was eliminated in the first round. The three often partner in the star game. They all have each other's phone calls, and they have made a cooperation in private.

Two veterans choose the Lakers, one is the big city exposure, the other is that the Lakers have Championship details, the previous three consecutive titles are too impressive. They think that the reason why the Lakers couldn't win last year was that there were defects in positions 1 and 4, which they made up for after joining.

As soon as the deal was announced, O'Neill and Guo Xu were very proud when chatting, feeling that the new season can stabilize the suns. And the two veterans are looking at his face, which proves that the Lakers are still his team.

Many media predict that Kobe will jump out of his contract in the summer of 2004 and pursue a bigger top salary. O'Neill's plan is to lead the Lakers to the championship and ask the management to renew his contract in advance, otherwise he will jump out of his last year's contract in 2005.

Guo Xu estimated that they both want to force the other side, "OK combination" off the field contradiction has been public last season.

Kobe's ambition does not allow himself to continue to be the foil of others. With his growing strength and O'Neal's age, there will be more and more unsettled factors in the Laker team.

Seeing how happy he is, Guo Xu can't bear to pour cold water on him. If they have to separate, Buss will definitely choose to keep a younger Kobe, even if O'Neal is still the first center in the league.

It's hard for the Lakers to win, even if the F4 can keep fit. Malone is 40 years old, Peyton is 35 years old. Last season, their data are beautiful. They played under the condition of poor team-mates' strength and possession of the ball. To the Lakers, they have to reduce the number of shots.

John Stockton, who just announced his retirement, has been surrounded. The statues of the two old jazz men have been molded. What about the Malone?

Bucks management is broken. Last year, they sent out Ray Allen, Kevin Ollie, Murray and a first round draft right to return to Payton and Mason. As a result, Peyton, who can attract fans, ran away after half a season, leaving only Mason, who has no basket and is good at taking the second runner up in dunking, and suffered a lot.

Bucks management in order to retain Peyton, previously also low-income high-energy point guard "alien" Sam Cassell and center Elvin Johnson sent to the Timberwolves, in exchange for guard Anthony Pyle and forward Joe Smith.

Since Pyle chose to jump out of the contract, it was almost as if the Bucks had given the Timberwolves a star for nothing, and helped the other party clean up Joe Smith's junk contract. There was probably some insider trading between the two parties, but this time, wolves manager McHale was not arrested.

For the next two seasons, Cassell's annual salary was $3.7 million and $4.1 million respectively. It's hard to imagine that this was the salary of a player who scored 19.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists last season.

A look at the western team strength greatly improved, two consecutive years into the finals of the nets team management also can not sit still. However, in the free market, there are not so many good players to choose from, and the Nets' internal weaknesses are too obvious to be strengthened.

The nets manager was so excited that he didn't play last season because of kidney disease. He was 22 million in four years. I believe he has recovered safely.

Do you believe what others say? The nets are rich and have no place to throw away.

The Spurs, who are in urgent need of strengthening the interior, can only choose between olawokandi and nestrovic, who signed the latter for $42 million in six years. This price is obviously high, but if not signed, the Spurs will not be able to defend the title next season. Nestrovic at least has a good physique, can guarantee the interior defense, will not let the opponent in the forbidden area does what he wants.

The Spurs also signed Laker veteran Robert Holly to strengthen the No. 4 position. He has rich experience in the game, and his playing method of evacuating the inside line is good.

Because holly and Bowen's out of the plate moves are very strong, Guo Xu thought about digging Holly to the sun, after consideration or gave up. There are too many potential new players in the Suns' interior line, and the playing time is not well distributed. Haslem's defense is better than Holly's, he can only defend and grab the board, and the open center shot at the offensive end is enough. There is no need to pursue Holly's 35% three-point, and can't make a single shot per game.

Holly can't run fast, so he can't run fast. This year's second round rookie, James Jones, can also shoot three points and run much faster. Cultivating him is also good for the future of the team.

On the 17th, the Hawks, the Timberwolves, the Knicks and the 76ers completed four major deals.

Hawks forward Glenn Robinson went to the 76ers and got the Timberwolves retired player Trier Brandon.

The Knicks traded "madman" Sprewell to the Timberwolves for Van Horn of 76.

The 76ers also sent second round rookie teris Hansen and the first round draft rights in 2007 to the Hawks, taking Center Mark Jackson from wolves.

The deal was profitable for the 76ers and the Timberwolves, both of whom were traded because of a dressing room conflict.

Iverson said excitedly: "I like big dog, he is the kind of good player who can score a lot of points but won't get more than me. We've strengthened our front line

"Now that I have Cassell and Sprewell, what first round of magic can go to hell," Garnett saidThen, the Timberwolves signed olawokandi in a three-year deal of $16.2 million. The lineup was too strong.

Dalglish also received strong support to complete a three-way deal with Pacers and spurs.

The Spurs sent Denny Ferri to the Pacers, got forward tekogru from the king, and Rockman Ron Mercer from the Pacers. Dalglish also sent inside agent Pollard to the Pacers, who won last season's all star interior Brad Miller.

Media evaluation said that now Weber in the new season can rest assured of injury, Miller in addition to breaking through the handicap, can do Weber's work.

Spurs also strengthen, tekegru is an excellent forward, play starting or substitute can help the team, Ron's state of decline is very serious, is a bonus.

Without Miller's inside line, the strength of Pacers has declined dramatically. O'Neill has to take on more tasks, but they can't. because of the salary space, they can't renew Miller's contract. It's better to trade them earlier.

The deal between the warriors and the Mavericks was the most surprising. The warriors sent Denny Fortson, Chris mills, Welsh and leading star Jamison to the Mavericks in exchange for Ishmael, Johnson, pooper Jones, Ricardo and van exell.

Battier was so stupid. What's the situation? How can warriors send warmth like this when the team leaders are gone? Will van Exel and I be the core of the attack?

The truth is that the team hasn't made any achievements for several years in a row, and can't enter the playoffs. The management of warriors is completely disappointed with Jamison. They want to cultivate by putting on the bad and selecting another core, regardless of the results in the new season.

The old Nelson becomes very energetic, the Mavericks have Nowitzki, Nash, Finley, Jamison, the opponents are trembling!

However, with the eggs, the Mavericks' lineup is unreasonable. If the hidden danger of poor defense in the forbidden area is not made up, the right of the ball is not enough to be divided by trading a no three no four forward. But old Nelson thinks that this can win, rely on attack to kill each other, the old man is crazy.

After watching these terrible deals in July, President David Stern was a little unhappy. The Lakers, the Timberwolves and the Mavericks all gathered together to form a group of four stars. He doesn't want the stars to focus on this level. There are only a few teams that can compete for the championship.

What about teams with only one star? Is the collective arrangement bad after the start of the game?

If they don't put on bad things, they can't see hope
