Chapter 272 Earthquake Level Trading

The NBA 2004-2005 season has not yet started, and the draft was held as scheduled. The talented center Dwight Howard won the championship in one fell swoop, became the No. [-] pick in the NBA, and successfully settled in the Orlando Magic.

This draft is also a big year in the NBA draft. A group of outstanding players have emerged, and there are also many familiar names.

For example, Okafor, Ben Gordon, Sean Livingston, Devon Harris, JR Smith, Trevor Ariza, Tony Allen, etc.

The NBA is like this, a new generation replaces the old, and when someone leaves, someone will come.

The NBA is still a business league, and businessmen value profits, so naturally there are many deals.

The deal of this offseason can be called earthquake level.

First, the Los Angeles Lakers signed Kobe Bryant to a seven-year, $7 million contract extension.

Leaving aside the sky-high contract, Kobe made a lot of money.What shocked the fans the most was that the ok combination that won three consecutive championships together and built the Lakers dynasty eventually parted ways.

The Lakers still chose the younger Kobe. In the second half of last season, there were some conflicts between Kobe and O'Neal. This season, O'Neal chose to travel east.

The Sharks travel east, and the next home is Miami-Heat. The bargaining chip for the deal is the Heat's head star Odom, as well as some role players.O'Neal teamed up with Dwyane Wade, who was fourth in the rookie rankings last season, and their strength should not be underestimated.

The San Antonio Spurs signed Manu Ginobili to a six-year, $6 million contract extension.

After the Spurs lost to the Cavaliers last season, they did not make much action, and the renewal of Ginobili became their biggest news.

However, with Duncan and GDP, the Spurs are equally competitive in the West.

The Phoenix Suns signed Steve Nash to a five-year, $5 million contract.The Detroit Pistons signed power forward Rasheed Wallace to a five-year, $6500 million contract extension in free agency.

The Minnesota Timberwolves signed Hoiberg to a two-year, $170 million extension in free agency.

The Toronto Raptors have signed Heat free agent guard Alston to a five-year, $5 million contract.

The Detroit Pistons have agreed to a four-year, $4 million deal with Suns forward McDyess.

The Orlando Magic have signed free agent small forward Turkoglu to a six-year, $6 million contract with the Spurs.

The Los Angeles Lakers have signed center Divac in free agency with the Kings.

The Sacramento Kings have signed Jazz center Ostertag in free agency.

Among this series of transactions, the most watched is of course Steve Nash.

As one of the few excellent guards in the league, Nash has returned home. When his old club, the Suns, traded Marbury last season, they should have thought about competing for Nash.

The other is that the Kings dismantled the five-star lineup and traded veteran Divac to the Lakers.

This is exactly what the Lakers desperately need. O'Neal travels east, Karl Malone retires, and the Lakers have very few insiders available.Since the Lakers chose to focus on Kobe, it is natural to find some capable assistants for him. Fisher is a good choice on the back line.

The most shocking trade news is yet to come. The preseason of the new season is about to start. The Cavaliers, Rockets, Magic and other teams broke out shocking deals.

The first is that the Cavaliers traded Kedrick Brown, Kevin Ollie, and this year's first-round pick, as well as a next year's first-round pick to the Magic, in exchange for the two-time scoring champion, Tracy Mack, who is talented and talented Grady.

As soon as the news came out, the major media and TV stations were full of question marks.

Are the Cavaliers still improving?

The Audio-Technica is already so strong, and we need to add McGrady, so let people play?
This is the last chance for the Cavaliers to strengthen. It’s not that someone is robbing McGrady, but Limbo, James, and Boozer are all in the rookie contract stage. The Cavaliers now have salary space to sign a stronger shooting guard or striker. swing man.

Last season, the Orlando Magic were at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. McGrady averaged 20+8+7 per game. McGrady was also tired, and the Magic were also tired.

The Magic traded out Tracy McGrady, not to mention who they exchanged for, they are destined to develop a new core, and the No. [-] pick Dwight Howard is the best choice.

Do you think this is the end of the knight?

Do not.
First of all, the Cavaliers let the league take a break, terminated the contract with last season's head coach Paul Silas, and let Mark Osorsky take the position of head coach, which is justified.

A few days later, the Cavaliers once again spread the big news that this deal will shake up the league.

All the teams in the East are complaining, and the Cavaliers will not let people live.

The Cleveland Cavaliers traded Darius Myers, DeSagana Diop, Kedrick Brown, a second-round pick and some cash to the Houston Rockets for an All-Star center and moved the Great Wall Yao Ming.

Limbo, McGrady, James, Boozer, Yao Ming, five All-Stars, three of whom are starters.Even the backup is an All-Star, such as the 2002 Eastern Conference All-Star backup center Ilgauskas.

With the addition of Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, the Cavaliers' salary cap reached its peak in an instant, which also led to a sharp reduction in the Cavaliers' personnel. In addition to the above six, they also retained Eric Williams, Ira Newbell, and Tony as substitutes. -Battie, what's left is better than Mubo Curtis, Bralo Pandev, and a second-round pick this year, making up a 12-man roster.

But with this lineup, the regular rotation lineup is only 9-10 people.

Cavaliers: I have money, but I am willful. Who made me have three rookie players at the All-Star level.

He is a rookie in the second and third grades, and he is also a championship player. Where can we find such a lineup?

The combination of the Iron Triangle and Yao Mai makes people excited just thinking about the new season.

The East has changed, and everyone was trying to strengthen themselves. After the Cavaliers deal, everyone thought, why should I bother.

For example, the Pistons exchanged for Rasheed Wallace and Big Ben to form a double Wallace fried chicken combination, intending to create a super inside defensive combination. However, after seeing the Cavaliers lineup, be defensive.

Another example is the acquisition of an All-Star center by trade, and the heat of a player Shaquille O'Neal. Originally, I thought about this lineup. Whoever loves to fight for it.

The Nets are also suffering. They traded Kenyon Martin and want to strengthen. Hehe, Cavaliers, let's play, I won't make up.

The East has completely lost its competitiveness, and it is almost a situation where the Cavaliers dominate.

In the preseason of the new season, the Cavaliers randomly sent a few people to play. It doesn't matter anyway. When it comes to the regular season, no one is an opponent.

It's just that rampant, it's just that casual.

With strength, the confidence to speak is tough.
