I'm king in the basket

Chapter 420 Generous

This offseason, the Raptors have been in constant motion.

First, after the end of the draft, Khris Middleton and Will Barton were decisively exchanged, and Dragic was signed with 4 million in 3600 years.

However, their reinforcements are not over yet.

The third to leave was Tony Allen.

No one expected that the strongest defensive back in the East would be traded.

The two-time champion of the Raptors was traded to the Pacers this summer.

They got a player who was good enough to get the crowd talking.

This person is considered to be the enemy of the Clippers, Grizzlies, and Thunder Lights. It is precisely because he beat Li Xing in the NCAA Finals three years ago that so many things happened later.

His name is Dante the Terminator, and he's Tyler Hansbrough.

In the past three years, Hansbrough has not progressed as quickly as the Pacers expected.

His progress is slow, and there is less and less room for growth.

The Pacers hope to build a steel division with a strong wall, so this deal follows the trend.

The Raptors have had enough of a starting trio of two guards and a small forward averaging less than 194 cm.

They won't play DeRozan again at small forward, which he doesn't like.

Once this deal is concluded, it means that DeRozan will return to the second position in the new season, and the Raptors got two second-round picks this summer, and one of them will enter the starting lineup in the new season.

It was also said that they may start Barnes.

However, judging from their current situation, the Raptors are extremely optimistic about the follow-up development of Middleton and Button, that is to say, they will vigorously train these two young people.

The Raptors' operation is not over yet.

They first announced the implementation of Whiteside's player option for the last two years, and then changed hands and traded this talented young center to the West.

The Lakers got Whiteside.

They paid for a 13th-year second-round pick.

Hassan Whiteside left Toronto with two rings after his time here was not going his way.

Initially, Li Xing expected him to support the team's second team.

It's hard to say if Whiteside did, and Snyder has never been happy with him.

He felt Whiteside could do a lot more than that.

He saw Whiteside's talent, and he felt helpless at the way this young man wasted his talent.

After two seasons, Whiteside has not improved at all.

In this way, he was sent to the Lakers.

So far, as the defending champions, the Raptors have done their work in the offseason.

It can be said that they completed every task in the offseason plan.

Reinforcing the team's third position, it's done.

Introducing a better number one, done.

Get rid of Whiteside, too.

A series of actions by the Raptors have made people full of expectations for their prospects of winning the championship next season, while another team is making a series of drastic operations.

The Lakers are feeling more and more urgency.

Kobe is one year older. They know very well that the last few years are the last chance for the Lakers to win the championship.

If they can't build a championship team before Kobe is completely old, they will sink for a long, long time.

Then, the first trade that shook the league happened.

The Lakers traded Pau Gasol to the Bucks for Monta Alice and Luke Richard Mbah a Moute.

The Lakers strengthened the backcourt and wing defense, and the Bucks got a peak-tail All-Star insider after Bogut was injured and stopped.

It doesn't look like it's losing money.

This operation made the entire league see the Lakers' goal clearly.

Their goal is directed at Howard.

Howard is no longer the signature player you want to build around, and his credibility has dropped to zero.

The farce of "trade me-keep me" made the Magic, a team built around him, break up the team for him, and fired all the people who pressed him, but the result was that the ball The team is worse than ever.

Since Howard entered the league, the Magic have been trying various lineups around him, trying to find the right way, maybe this way is to find four players who can shoot [-] points, and Howard dominates the offense and defense in the paint.

It was enough to reach the 2009 Finals and the 2010 Eastern Conference Finals, but since then the team has adjusted the lineup time and time again in order to please Howard, but it can only be a round trip.

They haven't made it past the first round in the past few seasons.

Come this summer, the fickle Howard has a new idea.

Howard said he only wants to go to one team -- the Brooklyn Nets.

The Nets hope to form their coveted Big Three, or the Dream Team, or the Super Duo, or whatever it's called these days.

Rather than saying Howard likes the Nets, it is better to say that he likes Deron.

Deron likes the pick-and-roll offense, and he has the second strongest pick-and-roll ability in the league. The two of them work together and definitely complement each other.

This is Howard's idea.

He scorned a "Where We Going" drama with Deron over the summer.

Some people say that he and Deron have negotiated to become free agents together, and then go to a team that can accommodate them at the same time.

However, when Deron decided to stay with the Nets, Howard became a bitter child who was abandoned.

Originally, he was a key player in the player market this summer, and many ideal teams took him and Deron as the core of their adjustment plans, but Howard's series of puzzling "decisions" in the past six months threw him away from the normal track.

Now Howard finds that he has no control over his own destiny, and he has become a luxury with a price but no market in this market.

In the end, whether he goes to the Nets, the Lakers, or stays in the Magic, in the new season, he must use [-]% of his efforts to reshape his image.

As a "quasi-free agent" who has the right to choose his own destiny, Howard has made a series of "mistakes" in the past six months. He has broken the rules of the game in the player market, and in the NBA world, once those unwritten rules of the game are broken , you have to pay the price.

"Back in words" is the most fatal mistake Howard made.When everyone thought he would definitely leave Orlando, Howard suddenly announced in mid-March that he would give up his free agent status, and the contract was extended until 3.And when everyone thought he would stay, Howard asked for a trade again in June.

A hymn of loyalty is so perfect under his interpretation.

When the deal was finalized, the biggest drama in free agency came to an end.

Among the many competitors, the Lakers won.

Howard parachuted into the City of Angels, and no one knew how high they could reach.

In this increasingly competitive league, the Lakers have laid the cornerstone of the championship. They also need to see the chemical reaction between Kobe and Howard.

Moreover, a contract renewal news that does not seem to be so eye-catching has floated in the free market.

James Harden doesn't want to be traded to the Rockets.

The Thunder paid 500 million more and eventually kept him.

When Li Xing heard the news, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

He remembered that these three people separated later, and each achieved something.

Because of his arrival, their fate has changed.

"It's just forcing trouble for me."

Leaving the table vaguely remembers that he said to Durant something like "must keep Harden".

It may have been a whim at the time, but if he was given another chance, he would demonstrate how cancerous Harden is from ten aspects.

It's a pity that it's useless to say more now.

It is a foregone conclusion that Harden will stay in Goose City, and the Thunder's three young masters have not left.

Li Xing looked at the scenes during the offseason and felt his ass hurt.

Although they have strengthened, other teams seem to have also strengthened, especially the Thunder, they really kept Harden.

Harden will be more mature next season. With the combined efforts of these three, which team in the West can resist?

Li Xing couldn't imagine that three people with A+ potentials were on the same team, and they were all young. It was unimaginable what would happen in the future.

"They have the potential to complement each other, or they can hurt each other."

Even the system doesn't know what they will end up with.

Li Xing didn't know either.

He is scaring himself.

Other teams are strengthening, and the Raptors are also strengthening.

Their guard line and wings were a big problem last season, and they were completely blown away by Durant, James, and Anthony in the playoffs.

But they still won the final championship.

Now that these two short boards have been filled, who else can stop them?

Moreover, Li Xing evolved again.

Li Xing used up six of the seven epic lottery opportunities before.

The only useful skill drawn is the soul of ball control.

He is a center forward, although this skill can be used to enhance his dribbling ability, but there are not many opportunities for him to show off his dribbling in the game.

Other skills, except for Absolute Defense, which was sold at a low price, are all listed on the auction house at high prices.

Li Xing is determined to take revenge on the society.

No matter what this skill is for, his auction price is ridiculously high.

If he doesn't need it, no one else can use it. If you want it, show your sincerity!

Even if none of these things can be sold, he still has 400 million points in his body, and he is preparing to use these points to strengthen himself again.

He now has a rating of 105. After completing the wall-breaking challenge, his attribute points have increased by 15 points.

Now, he wants to use 300 million points to upgrade.

He turned on the system, swayed the consumption attribute points, and improved without money.

One item after another.

300 million attribute points were squandered in 2 minutes.

Li Xing saw that half of the attributes were not full, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

In a blink of an eye, his score has reached 111.
