Chapter 492 The Opening of the Free Market

Chapter 492 The Opening of the Free Market

For the next few days, Qin Tao and the others were basically busy with various business activities, and they really didn't have much time to take a good rest.

With such a busy job, Zarya and Laidlow's little thoughts about Chinese culture can only stay in their minds for the time being, and they will do it when they are really free.

7 month 1 day.

The arrival of a piece of news caused a slight change in Qin Tao's mood.

Of course it wasn't a serious matter, but Qin Tao and the others had to face it squarely.

As the regular work of the NBA this season comes to an end, apart from some award ceremonies, the biggest topic is the opening of the free market.

This year's free market led by super giants such as Dwight Howard and Chris Paul has almost detonated the entire NBA.

Everyone knows the abilities of Howard and Paul, as long as there are teams with salary space and bargaining chips, they are all eyeing them.

Coupled with Josh Smith, Andre Iguodala, and even top stars like Manu Ginobili, they alone are enough to attract the attention of countless people.

of course.

Like some of them, they don't have that great a chance to choose to leave the team, such as Ginobili, who has a [-]% chance of renewing his contract with the Spurs.

But some other players may not necessarily change clubs.

You are like the superstar Dwight Howard who caused a huge wave this year.

Since they ended their mission this season, the big man who loves to play happy basketball has hinted more than once that he will leave the Lakers and go to a team that can make him happy.

Another example is Nick Keyang of the 76ers, who has long been dissatisfied with the team's Andre Iguodala. Except for stars like Iguodala, some functional players really don't have to worry about not attracting the team's attention.

of course.

Compared with the free market in previous years, except for Howard and Paul, and even Iguodala and Josh Smith this year, the others are relatively not enough.

But even if this is a "small banquet", the free market is only one of the themes this summer.

do not forget.

When the free market opens, it proves that teams can also start to operate against players.

Now Qin Tao and the others are facing this kind of matter, which makes them feel a little bit grim.

Honestly.

Although Qin Tao has made up his mind to leave the Rockets, he hasn't drawn a range for which team to go to.

According to those speculations on the Internet, he may go to the Lakers, or even the Nets with a wealthy Russian owner.

Moreover, these analyzes are well-founded. Sometimes when Qin Tao went to see them, he was almost persuaded by them.

However, this matter must also be put on the agenda.

He didn't want to bring these troublesome things, like some superstars would cause a lot of disturbance and trouble.

in this way.

Qin Tao and the others are not in the mood to take care of the future work for the time being. After all, they have come to an end step by step, and the next thing is the training camp.

"According to our current situation, it is better to listen to other people's quotations before August!"

Zarya said with a slight frown.

Laidlow on the side also nodded slightly with his chin propped up: "Although this cannot be said, I want to say that we are now taking the initiative."

That's right.

Qin Tao nodded immediately.

When he had that kind of conflict with the Rockets management, they wanted to get stuck, which is obviously unrealistic.

What's more, they didn't have the guts to do that after the little tail was caught in Qin Tao's hands.

so.

Now they just wait for the other team's offer, or even get in touch with Zarya before talking.

Temporarily pressing this topic, they began to chat about the current situation of the alliance.

In view of the fact that there were some transactions during the draft, they started some analysis and research on the structure of the league.

This can also be said to be an evaluation of each team.

The first thing to talk about is the Atlanta Hawks far in the east.

Because the contracts of a group of players signed four or five years ago are about to expire, compared to other teams, they can be said to have huge salary space to operate some things.

You must know that they will have up to eight players who are completely free agents this year, among them is Josh Smith, the Eagle King.

Then there is the Mavericks with a crazy owner and a very good team atmosphere.

They will also have eight players whose contracts expire this summer. Except for Dirk Nowitzki and his main players, most of the entire team may leave.

Finally, I have to talk about the situation of the Lakers.

With Kobe suffering from potential injuries and the team's lineup and atmosphere somewhat turbulent, although [-]% of the players who expired this year are role and fringe players, the number of expired personnel has reached seven.

As for the future of the Lakers, Qin Tao knows better than anyone else.

If Kobe's overloaded body is maintained better, there will be no devastating injuries in the future, and maybe he can persist for a few years.

But it is a pity that because of Kobe's serious injury and the serious aging of the team, young players can't stand up for the time being, which prompted the former giants to start the journey of sinking into the season.

of course.

There are also things about the team management and the owner's family involved, but the management chaos in the later period is really a big problem for them.

so.

Except for the Lakers' own market and exposure halo, if there are really any stars who will go, there are really not many people for the time being.

But the Lakers really can't underestimate it. Maybe in another six or seven years, the super giant will choose to come.

After analyzing these teams, the players have to go a lot, and the team salary will be richer and more flexible. Qin Tao and the others can't help but analyze some strong teams, and even teams that were once part of strong teams.

For the first time, they couldn't get around the Celtics who reached an earthquake-level deal with the Nets.

Honestly.

Even if this team does not have their iconic figure now, the upper limit of the future is really high.

In Zarya’s words, if the Nets with a vote of old men cannot win the championship within one to two years, or even relaxed to three years, then the Celtics will become a team full of talent. Team.

Qin Tao was really impressed by her analysis.

With Angie's method of draining the future blood of the Nets, it will be exactly as she said a few years later.

of course.

It is very fair to be willing to fight and suffer, and the Celtics really paid a lot.

suddenly!

Qin Tao, Zarya, and Ledlow instinctively looked at each other, just looking at each other eagerly, and the expressions on their faces gradually became a little weird.

Just then.

With the arrival of a phone call, Laidlow suppressed the thoughts in his heart, but when he answered the phone, his eyes widened: "Are you sure?"
