Learning in the NBA can make you a god

The Knicks have been poached continuously, and Walsh really can't sit still. He must now complete a new contract extension with Li Tian, ​​otherwise he can only wait to be fired.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to fly to Lucheng overnight, just hoping to meet Li Tian.

Domestic basketball activities, under the supervision of Li Tian and others, are proceeding in an orderly manner. Although the lineup is not as strong as the first period, the current lineup is still not weak.

With an All-Star player and a player with NBA starting ability, the number of groups becomes more, so more players are selected, and the time is relatively longer.

This year, in order to promote other cities, we specially cooperated with Yao Ming's team and held the finals in Shanghai, which raised the popularity to a new level.

It was originally planned to invite Kobe to participate in the finals, but Kobe has not agreed. Fortunately, there was no publicity in advance, otherwise the fans would go crazy.

The only good news for Kobe is that he no longer has to wear a mask and can play games comfortably.

Just when the Knicks were being stolen, the Celtics also extended their clutches and made a deal with the Wizards.

After being swept by opponents in the playoffs for several consecutive seasons, Anji really couldn't sit still. The Big Three didn't win a championship. The team paid so much and didn't get what they wanted. The Big Three of the Green Army Announced complete disbandment.

The Celtics, Wizards and Suns made a three-party deal!
The Greens sent Pierce + Garnett, the Wizards sent Humphries + Okafor, and the Suns sent a protected first-round pick in 2014 (top 12); the Greens received Humphries + Gortat, Shannon Brown , Malcolm Lee and Kendall Marshall, as well as the Wizards' first-round pick. The Suns received Okafor, and the Wizards received Garnett and Pierce.

The Big Three of the Green Army have completely disintegrated. Even so, they are still seeking trades in order to complete the reconstruction transaction and obtain more draft picks.

While Li Tian was having fun at home, a piece of breaking news hit him again.

Howard broke the big news, and the famous reporter Medina suddenly broke the news: "The contract offered by Mosaic to "Warcraft" is a maximum salary of nearly US$8800 million, and includes an early termination option for the 15-16 season, and 15% The transaction deposit. In other words, in the summer of 2016, Howard has the right to jump out of the contract early."

A few hours later, this rumor was confirmed. The Lakers issued a statement admitting that Howard had confirmed his departure from the team, and "Warcraft" himself announced on Twitter that he would switch to Mosaic and changed his Twitter avatar to a Mosaic jersey.

Howard changed three teams in three years. Instead of coveting the $3 million max salary contract offered by the Lakers, he agreed to sign a four-year $1.18 million contract with Mosaic.It seems that what Dwight values ​​most now is no longer money. ” Medina wrote in his latest article.

This is the first time that the American media has clearly exposed the details of the contract between Howard and Mosaic.Although there is some discrepancy with the calculated maximum salary of 8776 million, there is no substantial difference within the error range.

"Meeting with five teams one after another really made me feel embarrassed, because every team made me feel like it was a good choice, and it was good to go to any team." Howard said, "But overall, I The era of playing for the Lakers has come to an end, and the great era of Mosaic is about to begin. They are a rising team."

According to the relevant provisions of the new labor agreement, if Howard stays with the team, he can sign with the Lakers for one more year. This is undoubtedly a better choice for the "Warcraft" with potential injuries.But for the sake of the championship, he finally decided to take the risk and give it a try.

"In my opinion, Mosaic has big men like McHale and Hakeem Olajuwon. They will really help me improve my court strength. This is an important reason that attracted me to Houston. I am that A guy who needs someone to push him to reach his full potential, so I chose that," Howard said.

And just after it was revealed that Howard had joined Mosaic as a free agent, another Lakers general also had a problem.

Paul also requested a trade. He did not want to stay with the Lakers and hoped that the team would trade him out.

Kupchak was already so busy that he didn't know how to deal with all this at this time.

Howard's departure has reduced the team's luxury tax, but the team's competitiveness has also disappeared.

Paul said that if the team does not trade him to the team he wants to go to, he will not choose to renew his contract with the new team. This puts the Lakers in a dilemma.

The Lakers, who Howard had just left, were already unstable in military morale. Now that Paul has come to force him again, the Lakers have once again fallen into passivity.

Kobe was also extremely busy. Howard had already left. He didn't want Paul to leave, but no matter how he tried to persuade him, Paul didn't change his mind.

For this reason, Kupchak must trade Paul as soon as possible, otherwise once the news breaks out, the Lakers will have nothing because no team will give them enough offers.

"FUCK! You bastards! These are a bunch of ignorant white-eyed wolves, these guys are shameless." Kupchak threw a cup and banged the table in his office.

"Okay, don't worry about this anymore. What should the team do next? Paul has applied for a trade. Where will the team trade him?" Kobe also knew in his heart that since Paul wants to leave now, there is no point in trying to keep him. .

"Trade, trade him to where?"

This is a topic that cannot be continued because Paul does not say where he is going.

"MD, it's all Howard's fault for sneaking away to mosaic!"

"What if I'm a weakling and stay with the Lakers?"

Kupchak was speechless for a while.

"There is no problem with the transaction, but in order to stabilize the team's record next season, it is best to continue to maintain a championship-winning lineup.

But for a slightly worse team, if Paul refuses to report, it will be very difficult to complete the transaction. Kobe, don't be angry, it is best to ask and then make the transaction as soon as possible! "Kupchak must think carefully about how to operate the next transaction!
"Paul, I know you want to trade, but you put forward that you want to be traded to a strong team, but you also have to say where you want to go."

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he did not choose to break up with Paul.

"I only have one request, it must be a playoff team!" Paul hung up the phone.

Kupchak is really going crazy. What is going on?Just this sentence, if the team does not want to continue to be strong, he really wants to put Paul in cold storage for a season.

Although I was angry, the transaction still had to go ahead.

So Kupchak began to contact teams that wanted to trade. After all, the trade would still have to continue. If Paul really made a fuss by then, the Lakers would be finished next season.

Collect all the information of each team that wants to trade as soon as possible, all for the sake of a good deal.

The two traditional giants in the league were all disbanded. The Lakers once again formed the Big Four and lost again.

The Big Four have always been the curse of the Lakers, and the same is true for the players of several other Big Four teams. They have never been able to go further.

The Heat is like this, and the Nets are like this too. They have a strong lineup, but they still get nothing.

Returning to Shanghai again, the basketball boom had just ended and Li Tian had not left Shanghai yet, so Yao Ming insisted on dragging him to have a chat.

"What are you going to do? So many teammates on the team have left now, why don't you keep any of them?" Yao Ming was a little angry, thinking that those guys were not grateful at all, and now they directly signed other contracts. team.

"Brother Yao, is this the reason for you?" The corners of his eyebrows raised, he was really speechless. He signed with another team, what's the point?

"Isn't it a big deal? The team's main substitutes are gone. How will the team play next season?"

"I haven't decided yet whether I want to stay with the Knicks next season. I have some doubts about my future basketball path."

He expressed the question that he had been holding back for a long time. He had been thinking about this question since Game 4 of the finals.

"What? You haven't even thought about whether you want to stay in the Knicks or not. You don't want to imitate Jordan and choose to retire, right?" Yao Ming was dumbfounded. This incident was really a bit shocking.

But think about it, now he has six championships in six years, and his career is extremely smooth.

"I've considered it, but haven't made a decision yet to stay with the Knicks. You have to know that it's difficult for Alian and George to grow up.

The Knicks are too strong. What's the point of staying with a team that has no opponents? "

Li Tian's rhetorical question directly confused Yao Ming.

"Hey, you are right!"

"Brother Yao, don't think too much. You should just help the Arab League and a few of them. They all went to Lucheng a few days ago, and they all told me that I also hope they can go to a new team.

They can't get a big contract in the Knicks, and they don't have more playing time. Going to a new team will not only make more money, how great is that! "

After hearing Li Tian's words, Yao Ming felt relieved.

"You don't really want to retire, do you?" The issue of retirement is more critical.

"I don't know, but there is a high probability that I will not stay in the Knicks. I am also considering whether to go to the Kings. The owner of the Kings has personally invited me, so I am still considering it."

He had been thinking about it, saying what was on his mind.

"What, you want to go to the king? Do you really want to go wherever there is difficulty?" He couldn't help but joke.

"I'm still thinking about it. Brother Yao, just stay in the Knicks. Ah Lian still expects you to take care of him. You also know that if I continue to stay in the Knicks." At this moment, he has made up his mind and is ready. Leaving the Knicks, there were no challenges there.

You can't trade all the team's All-Star players just because you want to challenge the difficulty. If there is no difficulty, you can create difficulty, right?

The Kings are your own team. If you pass, you can still stimulate your passion with a weak team, and at the same time, your own team can make more money.

This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, and I have already begun to think about how to complete the deal so that I can leave the Knicks.
