A day later, the sun held a championship parade, and the whole city was familiar with the process, so there was no need to prepare. Unlike other cities, the weather in Phoenix is too hot for the parade to play. Every time, it is the same route, and it has to be at night.

After the parade, Guo Xu attended the celebration party. Megan was not there. He had a lot of time to chat with his teammates.

The boss Brian - colongello and Guo Xu talked a lot, the team will have a big change in the summer.

Blake, James Jones, Josh Powell, Haslem and Nene are free agents. Two veteran veterans retired, accounting for half of the team.

Ariza was 42 rookies in the second round in 2004 and signed a 2 + 1 contract. Next season is also the last year. If the team chooses to renew his contract in advance, they can not carry out the contract of next season.

But Ariza has made it clear that he doesn't want to renew his contract ahead of schedule. He already has two championship rings and has proved his strength, which is an important rotation for the team. If he wins next season with the suns and holds three rings as soon as he enters the league, there will surely be teams willing to offer him a premium contract.

Players with rings have different mentality. Ariza wants more money and ball rights. He was underestimated in the second round. He always wanted to prove that he can do more.

There is also Josh Howard in the team who wants to leave and the management is ready to see him off. Although the Suns can retain the core lineup this summer, they are under a lot of pressure to renew their role players.

Playoffs role players play too well, off-season has become a problem, other teams want to compete with the Suns, a relatively simple means is to poach. It is not necessary to renew the contract if the contract is very large.

The sun plans to renew Guo Xu's hard core brother Haslem with full middle class priority, and Haslem is also willing to stay. He is a man who likes stability and brother basketball, and has settled down in Phoenix.

Haslem average 9.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in the regular field, starting 65 games. In the playoffs, he started almost every game, averaged 32 minutes, scored 9.2 points, 8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and made 51.2 percent of his shots.

As long as he agrees that the Suns' middle-class offer is a pay cut to stay, other teams are sure to offer him a higher contract. However, Haslem is not stupid. When he won the championship in solar energy, he had a high exposure and signed three advertising endorsements. Even his girlfriend is a member of the management of fat Fox company, which is an advantage that other teams can't give.

With the exception of Haslem, it's hard for anyone else to stay, especially the two who got a lot of opportunities in the playoffs.

Blake averaged 36 minutes in the playoffs, scoring 9.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 0.7 steals, with a shooting percentage of 46.9% and a three-point shooting rate of 41.7%. Given his youth, there must be teams that lack point guards who want him.

Rafer Alston left the suns in those years, and Blake's shooting and organization was better than that of the street king.

Jones, as a swing man in position 3 and 4, can also play a role in the tactical system. His performance in the playoffs is slightly worse, and the three-point shooting rate in the regular season is 40%.

Guo Xu said in a low voice: "try to keep Steve. It's hard to find excellent point guard substitutes. If the others are at a premium, let them go. We can attract them in the free market."

To be exact, it is difficult to find the point guard who can play double back formation with Guo Xu. He must be over 190cm in height. Otherwise, there will be some problems in the defense of the two players.

Brian nodded: "when you go to the movies, don't forget to look at the free market list. Call me if you like. I'll dig it up. The high ranking draft has been settled, as long as everything goes well on the draft day, we will trade

"I have two candidates now. It's not difficult to make up. There must be someone who wants to join the Suns for the championship next season. We just need to find someone who is suitable for the solar system." Guo Xu said with a smile.

"Oh? Who? "

Guo Xu said two names. Kukoch was replaced by bulls free agent Tim Thomas.

This is a typical waste of talent, the first round in 1997 was selected 7, height 208cm, weight 108 kg. As early as in high school, Tim was labeled as the future star of the NBA, but after entering the NBA, he developed into the type of player Robert holly, floating on the outside shooting. He's not as good as holly when he was young. He's not very defensive and he doesn't work hard.

Tim is very suitable for the sun's system. He has speed, can participate in running and bombing, has a high percentage of shots, can open space in positional warfare and play pick and roll for defenders.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Tim Thomas was laid off in the middle of the Bull team's slack work. However, he had a blessing in disguise. He joined the Suns led by Nash at the base salary, and reached the western finals with the team, and the data was good. He averaged 31.8 minutes per game, scored 15.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.9 steals, with a shooting percentage of 49.1% and a three-point shooting rate of 44.4%.

Thanks to the beautiful playoff data and several key three-point goals, Tim won another big contract, signed a four-year high salary contract with the clippers, and he never played the level of the 2006 playoffs.

Tim played 16.4 minutes in the playoffs, scoring 7.7 points and 3 rebounds. The only bright spot was a 3-point shooting rate of 37.2%. With this kind of data, he can't get a big contract.With a low salary, Tim has a good chance to win a contract. If Tim wants to be middle class, he's not worth it. Other teams know he's not worth it, and he'll take a pay cut as long as he's not stupid.

The other is the swing man Anthony Parker, born in 1975, 31 years old, a combat player.

Parker is 198cm tall and weighs 98 kg. He was selected by the nets in the first round in 1997. At the beginning of his career, he played two seasons for the 76ers and one season for the magic. He played a total of 55 games and sustained serious injuries.

In 2000, Parker became a famous glass man. He had no ball to play in the NBA and was forced to play in Europe.

It is expected that Parker soon got rid of the injury problems in Europe, mixed up in the wind. He helped Israel's makabi team win the domestic league and Cup four times and the European Champions League three times.

In 2003-04, he was elected to the MVP of the top four of the Champions League. Last season, he played 25 games in the Champions League, scoring 14.8 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists.

Parker wanted to return to the NBA in 2005 to play in the summer league, but no team signed him. Guo Xu has paid special attention to his trend. His three-point ability in Europe is outstanding, his style of playing is selfless and his defense is tough.

Overall, Parker is a good role player, not a single function. He can shoot and organize, most of his shots are in the middle and long distance, which is very suitable for the Suns' tactical system.

Last summer, sun's outside line was so strong that Guo Xu didn't have to propose to the management to sign a swing man. This year Howard wants to leave, Ariza also wants to get a big contract, signing a swing man as a substitute is well prepared.

If Ariza is left in the middle class contract, Guo Xu thinks it is worth it, but Ariza may not be satisfied. Maybe some teams will be nervous and willing to bet on his talent.

Parker joined, the competition for position 2 and position 3 is more fierce, and many people share the playing time. Ariza's data is 80% lower than that of last season. It is difficult to sign a big contract in 2007. Guo Xu suspects that he will seek a deal before the contract expires.

He doesn't care about Ariza's future, and next season is to make sure that he can win four consecutive titles and strengthen the team as much as possible.

Winning the championship is Guo Xu's only pursuit. He knows that it is impossible to MVP for five consecutive regular season games, and the League will not allow it.

It's easy for a reborn to build a team, and he can always find players with high cost performance or young potential. As long as the introduction is smooth, the Suns' lineup will be very terrible next season.
