Chapter 544 [Newcomer Flash, Large Transaction]

Chapter 544 [Newcomer Flash, Large Transaction]

This year, the NBA's old labor-management agreement expired, and the negotiation process for the new agreement was very smooth.There is a tacit understanding between the two sides, and it will not be good for anyone if it is suspended again.

Harmony generates wealth, goodness is great. ?

There are some new regulations. Stern is a big advocate of limiting the age of players entering the NBA. He finally succeeded. Starting next year, players under the age of 19 and high school students will not be able to participate in the draft, which means that players like James, Garnett And high school miracles like Kobe Bryant will never happen again.

This is bad news for many scumbags. Because of this, there are a lot of people participating in the draft after graduating from high school this year. There are exactly ten high school students who have been selected. It is a summary of high school players. .

The benefits of this new rule are obvious. Many potential high school students enter the league early. They are inferior to older players in all aspects of confrontation and mentality. It is difficult to obtain performance opportunities, and the probability of injury is still high.Instinct to become a good seedling of a star, it would be a pity if it was abandoned because of age.

In addition, the maximum contract period for NBA players has been reduced from seven years to six years.This is to avoid the generation of super-long and rotten contracts. Many people break out during the contract year.What's even more outrageous is that some players have retired for many years and are still receiving high salaries on the team.

On July 7, the new agreement was officially implemented, and the NBA free market also opened.

The Lakers management announced a two-year contract extension with free agent Luke Walton at a minimum salary. Although he will definitely be on the fringes of the team next season, at least he has time to prove himself and may become a member of the dynasty team. A lifetime of glory.

On July 7, Louis Williams and Monta Ellis represented the Lakers in the Summer League held in Long Beach. Jeff Hornacek and Scott Brooks were responsible for leading the team. Offense and defense.

The Bucks had made an invitation to Hornacek before, hoping that he would be the head coach of the team. Huo was also willful and refused, and was willing to stay in the Lakers as the first assistant coach.

He felt that Milwaukee was a lousy place and that the lineup had no future.The family had settled well in Los Angeles, and he didn't want to go to the small East.If it was to join a strong team or go back to Utah to coach, he would definitely go.

Lionel Hollins left, and the Magic offered a three-year deal.Last season, the Magic's offensive power was not weak. The main loss was that the defense was not good enough. Hollins was originally known for his defense. He also learned the offense from Yang Rui in the Lakers coaching staff and entered the attention of the Magic's management.

History has changed again. Once Hollins joins the Magic, he will inevitably lead the team to become stronger. It will be difficult for Stan Van Gundy to join in 2007.

The Lakers are not short of assistant coaches. Divac succeeded Hollins and entered the coaching staff. Hoiberg is not qualified to succeed. After getting the ring, he can only retire first and wait for an opportunity.

This time, many high-ranked rookies participated in the summer league. In addition to Bogut, Paul also represented the Hornets in the competition, and his performance was very eye-catching. He could score and send beautiful assists.

The Lakers also played a good record under the leadership of two guards, 4 wins and 1 loss.

Ellis performed the best. He was only 191cm tall, but he played the No. 2 position. He played with Louis Williams, and the counterattack speed was amazing, and he could always break through.

The insiders who participated in the summer league did not have particularly strong people, and they basically all had flaws. They were either rough brothers who couldn't shoot, or big men who were tall, slow moving, and poor defense.

Once there is a dislocation on the field, the two newcomers of the Lakers can play.

Ellis averaged 23.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in the summer league, shooting 46.2% from the field and 35% from three-point range; Lewis was slightly inferior, scoring 16.6 points and 2.7 assists. As a point guard, his assists were too few .

The Lakers did not win the championship because of the poor defense of the inside players, and the management was very satisfied with the performance of the newcomers. Kupchak signed a 2+1 contract with both of them. The first two years are guaranteed, and the third year is a team option.

All NBA teams are trading, recruiting, and some want to strengthen their lineups to compete for the championship, and some start rebuilding.

Jeff Van Gundy left the Pistons, who announced in mid-July that they had signed former Timberwolves coach Philip Saunders.

After 98, Van Gundy Jr. has never been able to lead the team to achieve results in the playoffs, but because he led the Knicks to beat the Bulls to win the championship, his evaluation is much higher than that of Yang Rui's previous life, and it is not difficult to find a job.

The Nets completed a trade with the Blazers, using a 2006 first-round pick and a trade exception for injury-prone power forward Abdul Rahim.Finding one patient to back up another patient Kenyon Martin, the Nets manager is so talented.

The Rockets, which lacked a power forward, still chose to sign with Swift, a free agent of the Grizzlies. He was a full middle class and was destined to be pitted.

The Raptors signed Spanish guard Jose Calderon as a substitute for Billups. Calderon entered the NBA as an undrafted player. He has distinct characteristics, can organize, and shoot accurately. The Raptors have strengthened their strength in the new season.

The Bobcats signed Wizards forward Gerald Wallace for 5 years and 4300 million, which is cheaper than Yang Rui's previous life, because his data in the Wizards is average.Jordan looked up to Gerrard very much, but the Wizards didn't value him, believing that he was just a blue-collar man. Without Gerrard, the flank defense would be weaker, and the Wizards would be difficult to play next season.

The Heat, Grizzlies and other teams made a big deal involving multiple teams, setting a historical record.

The Heat acquired Celtics forward Antoine Walker, Kings "white chocolate" Jason Williams and Grizzlies small forward James Posey.

The Grizzlies get Eddie Jones, guard Lopez.

The Jazz got "The Big White Bear" Ostertag.

The Celtics acquired Borchart, the Heat's Quintel Woods, rookie Spanish center Milars, two second-round picks and some cash from the Jazz.

The Kings acquired Grizzlies swingman Bunch Wells.

The Hornets got Rasu Butler from the Heat and Kirk Schneider from the Jazz.

Just one day later, the Celtics who sent Walker away, and the Bucks free agent Ray Allen signed a 5-year, 8000 million contract.Ray Allen has had enough in the Bucks and teamed up with Pierce in advance.

The Bucks signed Bobby Simmons from the Clippers for 5 million in 4700 years. It was a very bold and brainless decision. Countless people complained on the Internet because Simmons was in the Wizards and Yang Ruibai sent the Clippers.

The Mavericks cut the team's captain and small forward Michael Finley, freeing up salary space while vacating a position for Josh Howard to take the position, but the Mavericks still couldn't offer a big enough contract to renew Joe Johnson .

The management was unwilling to send Joe Johnson away in vain, and signed a sign-and-trade with the Eagles.The Hawks sent forward Devin George and two future first-round picks to Joe Johnson on a five-year, $5 million contract.

Many experts believe that this contract is too big, but Yang Rui knows that the Eagles have made a lot of money. George's contract is really too big. Joe Johnson has the potential to become the "Eagle King".

The Mavericks did not exchange strong players to make up for the vacancy left by Joe Johnson, but the salary situation is slightly better. They can open a mid-level contract and try to dig a good point guard. Unfortunately, there are not many choices this season.If you can't introduce strong aid, the Mavericks' strength will drop a lot from last season.

The Spurs took the opportunity to pick up a big leak. They signed veteran Finley with a 3-year, 840 million value contract, reinforcing the weakest small forward position, and preparing to compete with the Lakers next season.

However, the strength of the Spurs' No. 1 position has declined, and Tinsley was poached by the Pacers.
