Chapter 647 [Super deal, single-core Lakers]

Chapter 647 [Super deal, single-core Lakers]

On July 7, the formation of the Cavaliers Big Three was completed, and the whole world was shocked.

All the media reported this big news, and online fans were mixed. Some people said that this should be the strongest trio in history, and some people denounced the peak group behavior of the three.

The Cavaliers fans were very happy, and took the 2007 Celtics Big Three as an example. They believed that the Cavaliers star grouping was "holding each other", which is understandable.

The willingness of Wade and Bosh to cut wages to join is a symbol of James' charisma.They chose to join the Cavaliers, obviously not for the money, but for the championship.

Although James did not leave the Cavaliers, there was no live TV "Decision 1", and people were much less disgusted with the Cavaliers Big Three, but it still caused the dissatisfaction of President David Stern.

First of all, Cleveland's commercial value is too low, and secondly, if a team wins the championship, even if it wins the championship, the gold content will be questioned by people.

If the gold content of winning the championship is not high, if James wants to form a team, why not go to the Clippers, New York, and Chicago?

You know, New York’s pursuit of James is almost shameless. The Knicks tried out James’ favors. New York Mayor Bloomberg welcomed him to New York. MSG invested more than one billion in renovations. The most famous Deli in New York can buy the MVP sandwich named after LeBron. The Michelin three-star chef said that LeBron can provide him with free dinner every day. Even the strip club said that it is free.

Chicago is a little more reserved than New York, but they have decided to give up on renewing Artest and McGrady. There is a website called "Send LeBron to Chicago." Jordan and *** have both come forward and think that he will go to Chicago. ?

In the end, these people were disappointed.Yang Rui didn't expect this situation, probably because the "friends and mothers" did not happen, James could still stay in Cleveland.

Only two days later, the Lakers did not want the Cavaliers to steal all the limelight, and a big deal broke out.

The Lakers traded the Nets for Kevin Love, Tyreke Evans, Travis Outlaw, and a future first-round pick plus 300 million in cash for Yao's name.

The deal was called a win-win by the media. Yao Ming signed a six-year max salary and could be the boss of the Nets. The owner was willing to spend money to help him in the free market.In the draft, the Nets just selected Derek Favors, a power forward who is good at preventing pick-and-rolls. He is more suitable to partner with Yao Ming than Love.

Yao Ming has brought commercial interests, and the Nets will become the home team in the hearts of Chinese fans to compete with the Knicks.

The Lakers traded for two promising young stars, an excellent off-the-shelf role player.

With an annual salary of 700 million, Outlaw is a swingman in the 3rd and 4th positions. He has outstanding physical fitness on the offensive end, can break through, and can shoot from long distances; on the defensive end, he relies on his unusually long arms, and his quick movements can also help the team. It's just 206CM, 95kg weight is poor, and playing No. 4 can't hold people in the penalty area.

Last season, Love scored 20.2 points, 15.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists, winning the league in rebounding, shooting 45.3% from the field and 38% from three-point range.

埃文斯20.1分5.3篮板5.8助攻1.5抢断，命中率45.8%，拿下了最佳新秀。

Looking at the data, the two young players are not inferior to Yao, but they will not lead the team to win.

Los Angeles Chinese fans are all depressed about Yao Ming's departure, and some people think that the Lakers have made money in the transaction. As long as they cultivate young players, the Lakers will be strong for many years.

Just the next day, the Lakers packaged Iguodala and Lou Williams to the 76ers, and traded the 76ers small forward Luol Deng and shooting guard Jodi Meeks.

Iguodala and Lu Wei have been exposed by the media for several times that they want to leave. It is difficult for the Lakers to trade them for All-Stars, and it is the limit that they can exchange for Luol Deng, a second-rate star who has not been selected for the All-Star Game.

Luol Deng averaged 18.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2 assists per game last season, and the data is not inferior to Andre Iguodala; Meeks is the addition, a second-round rookie last season, who can shoot three-pointers, averaging 4.7 points and 1.7 rebounds per game.

The 76ers decided that Luol Deng was not a good core candidate and wanted to bet on Iguodala's talent.The Lakers management is optimistic about Luol Deng as the team's second leader, thinking that he is balanced in offense and defense and has a low-key personality.

After the trade, Kobe was questioned countlessly, and all the players who had expressed dissatisfaction with him before left the team.

Some media analysts said that the disbanding of the "drug combination" was also because of Kobe. Kobe's possession of the ball made Yao Ming unable to exert his strength and did not want to be teammates with him.

Although Yao Ming said in an interview that leaving has nothing to do with Kobe, most people don't believe it. Two star centers have already chosen to leave the Lakers. The biggest thing in common is that their partners are Kobe.

In any case, the Comeys have returned to their peak. They firmly believe that Kobe will prove himself next season and win the championship without Yao Ming and single-core leadership.

The Lakers' rotation next season is really scary to see the cards, Evans, Kobe, Luol Deng, Love, Odom, Brooks, Outlaw, Landry, etc. on the bench...

Before the Lakers’ important rotation players, only point guard Daniel Gibson left. He was a restricted free agent. He joined the Bucks in three years and 3 million to make up for the vacancy of the No. 1000 position left by Curry.

The Cavaliers did not show weakness, and signed a full mid-level contract with famous pitcher Mike Miller, adding a stable three-pointer.

Then, veterans such as Eddie House, Jamal Magloire, and Juwan Howard came to hug their thighs one after another and joined at a basic salary.

The Cavaliers also retained veteran Ilgauskas for a minimum salary, and soon completed reinforcements.

Experts predict that the starting lineup of the Cavaliers next season will be the Big Three, Garvarejao, Anthony Parker, and Wade will switch to point guard, otherwise there will be some overlap with James.

The Cavaliers' bench lineup is equally luxurious, with Tony Douglas, Mike Miller leading the offense, as well as excellent pitchers such as James Jones, as well as experienced inside blue-collar workers.

In mid-July, both the Cavaliers and the Lakers became the recognized favorites to win the championship next season.

The pressure on the Spurs has doubled. Their primary goal is to renew the contract to win the championship hero Luis Scola, and Richard Jefferson is also a free agent. The two can only keep one, and almost no one is optimistic about the success of the Spurs defending next season.

Other big-name players in the free market have followed suit.

"The Bully" Amare Stoudamire renewed his contract with the Knicks with a maximum salary. Although the Knicks had no hope of winning the championship, he got a lot of advertising endorsement opportunities in New York, and his commercial value increased sharply.

The Eagles renewed Joe Johnson with a maximum salary of 6 million for 1.24 years, which was predicted by many to be a bad contract. Without Bosh, people are not optimistic about the Eagles winning the championship.

Pierce and Ray Allen stayed with the Celtics, and Nowitzki successfully renewed the Mavericks...

Clippers fans are beginning to feel bad. The most famous star left in the free market is Carlos Boozer, but Yang Rui has expressed that he does not want to cooperate with the players he has brought before, which means that Boozer does not. will join.

On the Internet, "Yang Hei" who disappeared for many years has resurfaced, posting posts mocking Yang Rui.

"Jerry Yang's words are too crazy, this time he will be slapped in the face. He is on the air and doesn't take the initiative to invite big-name stars, thinking he is still in the Lakers? It's no good who wants to join a bad team like the Clippers? No stars, look Will he make the playoffs next season?"

"Hahaha, Yang Rui smashed himself in the foot this time. Isn't Niu B going to fight for the championship? He will take Kaman, the glass man, and two defenders to fight for the championship!"
