NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 8 Does your conscience not hurt?
As a rich man, Russell, of course, the dollar is not blown by the wind, and he can't throw money randomly.

Of the three Spurs who want to renew their contract, Ginobili is naturally the strongest. In 10 minutes, Jordan is not bragging. In the summer, he will lead Argentina to kill the US team, and then win the gold medal in the Olympics.

Manu Ginobili is at his peak, and he will definitely not lose money if he steals it, but the price/performance ratio of this gentleman is not so high.

After all, it was only 10 minutes for Jordan, and the average time per game should not be too much, otherwise he would be easily injured.

If you want to keep it well during the regular season, the price is too high and it is not suitable. From this aspect, Ginobili is really more suitable for the Spurs tactical system.

In addition, the Suns now have a good seed for the sixth man, and that is Barbosa.

Barbosa is naturally not as strong as Ginobili, but it is enough for the Suns. The key is that he is much cheaper.

So think about it rationally, grabbing Ginobili is not the best solution.

Bruce Bowen is not expensive, but Bowen is 33 years old and is seeking the last long-term contract of his career, but there is no need for the Sun to give him a long-term contract.

Regardless of the age issue, the key is that Bowen's court style does not work well in the Suns.

A player like him who does dirty work is only suitable for starting and making troubles. If he comes off the bench, he cannot make an immediate contribution.

As for the Suns' lineup, it is impossible to have Bowen's position in the starting lineup.

After thinking about it, Russell felt that the most suitable person to poach was Robert Horry, the big heart and champion lucky general.

In addition to being a lucky general, Horry was barely considered a fierce general when he was young, but he is 34 years old.

No one wanted him last season. The Spurs gave him a one-year contract. As a result, his performance did not meet the Spurs' expectations. Now he has fallen to the bottom and no one cares about him.

According to the original history, the Spurs would give him a one-year basic salary in the end, and the result was huge.

Now the Suns only need to give Horry 2 million for 400 years, and he will still come over.

Moreover, Horry's space-type fourth position is very suitable for D'Antoni's system. This gentleman also has a small feature. Every time in the playoffs, he will always make some small tricks. The more critical the moment, the better he plays. In the finals, three points The hit rate will increase miraculously, and it can be called the best role player. The winning team bought a small pendant that does not suffer.

It's him, cheap and useful, and can also weaken the Spurs, the biggest stumbling block on the way to the championship.

Russell gave Warren instructions, and good news came back soon.

Horry is trying to find a job now, and the Spurs have no strong will to keep people.

After the test of last season, the Spurs feel that this person is too old and has no value.

If there is a place, it is fine to give a basic salary as a mascot at the end, and they are not willing to pay an extra penny.

After the start of the free market, the Suns' actions turned out to be to renew Joe Johnson and get a veteran who could no longer play. This time, not only the media was angry, but even many fans who were looking forward to it were angry.

Aren't you very arrogant, Russell? Why is it just thunder and rain.

Can't get O'Neal, Kobe doesn't blame you, the rich Russell family can't even get the second-tier big fish in the free market, many people feel that the season is over before it starts.

Joe Johnson is a young man, is he still so-so, but why renew his contract in advance? Play for another year to see if his performance is not good. With a long-term contract of 5000 million, the Russell family does not feel sorry for Qian and fans are worried.

As for Horry, it's just a joke. What he can do here, he can't even impart Stoudemire's experience. Everyone is not the same type of player at all.

If you want an inside line, isn't Rasheed Wallace good, isn't Martin good, isn't Dampier and Camby not good, and Stoudemire and even Divac are fine.

If you want outside, isn't Nash good, isn't Crawford good, what the hell are the Suns doing.

Russell doesn't do anything, the team lineup is already very strong, he just needs to add a little more.

So I hope that the students of the big news, wash up and sleep, and there will be surprises when you wake up next season.

The next pick of the Suns is also a little guy.

Matt Barnes, a young man looking for opportunities.

This buddy played a starter in the Clippers last season, but the Clippers are not even willing to give a basic salary now.

Barnes is very active in playing, but his finishing ability is not good.

But he is also a very useful role player. His current strength is still average, but it is still very cost-effective to be a small substitute on the front line.

The Suns only gave a two-year minimum salary, and Barnes immediately came to pledge his allegiance.

The next step must be inside, and the Suns threw in another two-year minimum salary and accepted center Mickey Moore.

Both of these contracts are 1+1, with team options for the second year, and the Suns can attack or defend.

Mickey Moore can also be regarded as an insider with rich game experience, but he has been wandering since the end of his rookie contract.

It feels like this kind of player will fade out of the league at any time, but this buddy persisted, and later won a mid-level contract.

In fact, Mickey Moore and Barnes are the same kind of people, they are hard-earned in the league without giving up.

Of course, Barnes' career was more successful, but it's not a loss to win Mickey Moore with a basic salary.

It's just that this guy is not considered a meat shield insider, at most he dares to fight.

The 32-year-old O'Neal is already declining, but the lingering poison of the big shark is still there. Now the inside of the league's meat shield is still in short supply. It is old and valuable, and it is not easy to find.

It's ridiculous that Dampier's offense can get tens of millions of contracts.

Stoudemire, it's not that the team is deceiving your feelings, but that it's really hard to find a human shield.

Rest assured, Varejao can be used as a meat shield.

Otherwise, find another mascot meat shield.

Therefore, Russell asked the black fat man to win the Chinese player Battelle with a one-year minimum salary.

A proper meat shield may not be effective in the official game.

Russell's move kills two birds with one stone, comforting Stoudemire a little, and it can also attract the attention of Huaxia fans.

Since Yao Ming landed in the NBA, Chinese fans have become more and more influential on the NBA. Of course, the Suns must be ahead of the times.

Chinese fans, Russell also has Chinese blood, remember to vote for the All-Stars.

It would be even better to be able to support the Suns with real money. As the descendants of capitalists, everyone obviously cannot expect Russell's integrity.

To be honest, Russell made a small fuss for a while, and the current lineup of the Suns is better than the original history.

Originally, two big contracts were signed, and the other players made up for it.

That's because he was reluctant to pay the basic salary, and he had to go to a two-way contract to save money. You can see how generous Russell is, and the players he signed are practical. He is really a good boss.

Sometimes Russell has to forget that he is just a player, and all kinds of showy operations fly.

In August, the Olympic Games opened, and Russell was no longer looking for in the free market, leaving a spot for spare.

And the outside has exploded, what the hell, except for the basic salary is the basic salary, I have seen people who are picky, but I have never seen someone who is so picky.

Isn't the Russell family very rich? They have spent more than 4 million yuan to feel the scope of the NBA. Why not spend more money to supplement players.

Russell, won't your conscience ache!
Of course not Russell, who had already flown to Los Angeles for a date.
