Chapter 595 [Lineup exchange, new 14 people]

In the Long Beach Summer League in July, Brooks performed astonishingly. He performed many elusive passes and one-stop fast breaks throughout the game. He averaged 7 points and 21.4 assists per game, and was named the best rookie in the summer league.

Landry's performance was much inferior, completely out of shape, averaging only 12 points and 6 rebounds per game, and shooting only 45% from the field.

Yang Rui has confidence in Landry, but this time, assistant coach Scott Brooks, who led the team in the preseason, likes fast breaks too much. He can run as fast as he can from outside. .

The free market opened and several big trades appeared immediately.

The Blazers sent power forward Zach Randolph, and the Warriors got Steve Francis and Kurt Thomas from the Warriors. The Warriors clearly made a lot of money.The goal of the Blazers is to send away the unrest in the locker room. As long as Randolph stays in the team, Roy cannot become the boss.

Roy and Aldridge are honest, and the management is worried that Randolph has brought them down.

In addition, the Warriors also packaged Troy Murphy and guard Keith McCleoder in exchange for Stephen Jackson of the Nets.

The Nets now have two glass men on the inside. Krstic will be reimbursed for the season after playing 26 games. Martin is even more straightforward. After three games, the team will be reimbursed for the season. The team has officially entered a rebuilding period.

The Pistons signed a five-year, $5 million contract with the Bulls' restricted free agent Nocioni.The Bulls' cap space is locked, and there is no way to keep people with high salaries. Next season, their strength will decline and they will withdraw from the championship.

The Suns dug up Boris Diaw with a full mid-level contract, which is much cheaper than Yang Rui's previous contract renewal.

Grant Hill's contract expired, and he extended his contract with the Suns for two years with a significant pay cut. The Suns also traded newly selected guards Fernandez and James Jones to the Blazers for some cash to free up salary space.

The strength of the Suns has improved slightly, but it has overdrawn the future. Fernandez has a good attack power and can shoot suddenly. Although his strength is not as good as Raja Bell, he can also become a good role player. Jones is an excellent three-point shooter.

The Magic and the Sonics traded in a sign-and-trade, with Richard Jefferson for the Sonics forward Rashard Lewis.

The SuperSonics have been at the bottom of the Western Conference for many years, and Lewis has not signed a super high-paying long-term contract.The Magic management chose to trade because Jefferson and Turkoglu have some overlapping positions, making it too wasteful for Turkoglu to be a substitute.

After the transaction, the Magic successfully completed the renewal of Dwight Howard's contract and signed a 5-year maximum salary in advance.

Jefferson's three-pointer is not outstanding, and coach Hollins believes that the Magic will be stronger when Lewis joins, which is indeed the case.

The Mavericks signed veteran Stackhouse for $1500 million over three years, a modest price.In the Wizards, Stackhouse was completely reduced to a bench, averaging less than 10 points per game last season, the price plummeted cheap the Mavericks.

The Clippers signed Luke Walton to a two-year deal, and Walton didn't really want to leave Los Angeles.

Damon Jones joined the Cavaliers on a free 3-year contract to help James, which is a smart choice.

Rasheed Wallace jumped out of the contract and joined the Pistons with a 4-year, 3300 million contract. It doesn’t seem too big, but Rasheed is 33 years old and doesn’t have much enterprising spirit left. The Pistons’ deal is not worth it.

The Raptors signed the three-point king Kapono for two years and 600 million. Before the Raptors had the most pitchers, they now lack pitchers.

In addition to the retirement of veteran Payton, the Lakers left 6 people at once, and only 11 people signed with two first-round rookies, at least three more places have to be added.

There are many veterans who want to hold their thighs and compete for the championship. Among them, Derek Fisher is unwilling to be a substitute in the Jazz and wants to return to Los Angeles.

But Yang Rui refused, Fisher had no potential to tap, and his "big heart" was commendable in his previous life.All three point guards of the Lakers can shoot three-pointers, and two are good at breaking through and running and shooting. Is it just for the last shot to sign a fourth point guard?

Fisher, who was rejected, miraculously stayed with the Jazz.

In Yang Rui's previous life, in the summer of 2007, Fisher said that because his 11-month-old daughter suffered from cancer and needed surgery, he hoped that the Jazz could terminate the contract with him, so that he could focus on taking care of his daughter and bid farewell to the NBA temporarily. .In order to leave the Jazz, Fisher once said that "life is more important to me than basketball", but after leaving Salt Lake City, the veteran quickly signed a three-year contract with the Lakers.

Now that he hasn't reached a deal with the Lakers, he simply doesn't leave. He wants to go to Los Angeles for treatment for his daughter. Wouldn't it be enough to join the Clippers?The Clippers certainly welcome him, but Fisher clearly doesn't like the Clippers.As for the daughter, probably not Barnes's wife attracted him...

There is also Desmond Mason, the former dunk king of the Hornets, who wants to take a leg and is willing to take a pay cut to join.Yang Rui directly said to let him get out, not only because he overthrew Yao Ming, but also because this guy has a brain, he only knows how to test his body to play, and his shooting has never improved. The Lakers don't need people with this style.

The conflict between Mason and Yao Ming showed that his ball quotient was low, and he was blocked twice. The third time he still held the basketball firmly and rushed to the hoop.In Yang Rui's previous life, he made a total of 10 three-pointers in his 66-year career, with a shooting rate of 26%.

Anfernee Hardaway and Chris Webber wanted to come to the Lakers, but they were also rejected by Yang Rui.

湖人的第一签，2年1000万挖来了詹姆斯-波西，第二年球员选项。上赛季在热火场均7.7分5篮板1.3助攻。

This is Yang Rui's request. Posey didn't win the championship in the Heat, but the data is still alive, and the price is not too high. He is an excellent 3D player.

Yang Rui brought in Posey just in case. In his previous life, Posey performed very well in the 2008 Finals, helping the Celtics win the championship.Now Yang Rui lured him to the Lakers with the championship, weakening the rival lineup.

Because Rasheed Wallace jumped out of the contract, the Lakers vacated 1000 million salary space, and the team only had three high-paid players to successfully complete the signing.

This transaction is very timely, because the Green Army has talked to Posey's agent, but Garnett has not joined the Green Army, and the Lakers seem to be closer to the championship, so Posey did not consider Boston.

Then, the Lakers signed veteran Eddie Jones with a minimum salary. His state has also declined seriously and he is nearing retirement. Last season, he averaged 7.7 points, 3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

Jones's return to the Lakers he played for when he was at his peak was like falling leaves returning to their roots.The team doesn't need him to do too much, teach young players some experience, and just shoot three-pointers.

The Lakers finally signed Austin Crowhill with a minimum salary. He has ten years of NBA experience, can shoot three-pointers, and has a strong inside line.He played for the Mavericks last season and averaged 3.7 points and 3 rebounds per game in the regular season. In the playoffs, he performed slightly better, with 5 points and 2 rebounds. He shot 75% of his three-pointers and made one goal per game.

When Crowhill came to the Lakers, he was a marginal person. He just played in garbage time and didn't need much ability.

At this point, the Lakers' 14-man roster for next season has been determined.

Centers: Chuck Hayes, Yao Ming, Crowhill.

Power forwards: Lamar Odom, Paul Millsap, Karl Landry.

Small forwards: Andre Iguodala, James Posey, Eddie Jones.

Shooting guards: Kobe Bryant, Monta Ellis.

Point guards: Daniel Gibson, Lou Williams, Aaron Brooks.
