The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Paul said cautiously at this time.

Before the start of the free market, Cavaliers owner Gilbert contacted James again.

The boss who had cursed James once again began to take the initiative to come forward.

This is the NBA. There are no absolute enemies or partners in business, only interests.

James took another puff of his cigar, without speaking, and turned his head to glance at the beach outside the window.

Back to Cleveland?

That sounds great.

He already had a championship in Miami, and it would make sense to go back to where the dream started and bring a championship to that city.

And more importantly, Irving is still very young, Wiggins may also be able to trade a good All-Star, the competitiveness and future there will be much better than the current Miami.

It's not bad either.

However, let's wait for Riley's movement, maybe there will be some surprises.

Riley put down the phone, then tried to contact Bosh.

The result was the same as before, not to mention Bosh, Bosh's agent could not be contacted.

It's like being disconnected.

He finally called Wade.

At this time, it is estimated that only Wade can help him.

Wade was on vacation in Miami, but he was also paying attention to the free market. After finishing the phone call with Riley, he began to try to contact James.

Neither James nor Anthony's affairs can be settled in a day or two.

But at this moment, the Lakers couldn't hold back and started to do it.

In other words, the Knicks were unwilling to sit still, and there was a big earthquake between the old opponent of the Lakers.

The news that Woj then broke out immediately attracted all the attention in the free agent market.

The Lakers made a deal with the Knicks, and they sent Dwight Howard to the Knicks for Tyson Chandler, Iman Shumpert and a 2015 Knicks second-round pick!

Chapter 557 Rocket Championship? (First update!) (Repair)

At first glance, this deal looks like a loss for the Lakers.

But this is actually Howard's current value.

In the past two years with the Lakers, his data has declined significantly, and the impact of his back injury is much greater than expected.

Coupled with his remaining 4-year maximum salary contract, most teams dare not take over.

The Knicks made this deal, on the one hand, because they have always had the habit of chasing superstars, and on the other hand, this is also their bargaining chip to keep Anthony.

The combination of Anthony + Howard is very competitive in the East.

The Lakers' trading intentions are even more obvious. Howard, who was at odds with Kobe, was traded away, and he successfully got rid of the latter's big contract, and the Chandler and Shumpert he got are also immediate combat power.

When Kobe is about to turn 38, this is tantamount to Bo's last shot.

The deal between the Knicks and the Lakers was earth-shattering.

But it was like a breach that caused the dam to burst, and the fans were inundated with subsequent signings before they could recover.

Cuban took the lead, and after confirming the old and new insider partners Nowitzki and Embiid, he began to grab the third giant.

The Rockets' Parsons became his target.

Parsons performed well in the Rockets, but his strength has not yet reached the maximum salary. Morey has always wanted to lower the price.

This gave Cuban a chance. He took advantage of the void and quickly reached a three-year $3 million maximum salary contract with Parsons.

This is an obvious premium contract, but there are only three days left for Morey to consider.

If he matches, then the Rockets' signing space is likely to be blocked.

You must know that Morey is now chasing Anthony wholeheartedly.

When the two teams met not long ago, there was an incident where Jeremy Lin's No. 7 jersey was directly PS onto Anthony's jersey.

Now that Anthony's next home is undecided, Morey was taken over by his old opponent Cuban.

The outside world is watching how Morey will operate.

If the operation is not good, they may end up with nothing like the whole offseason.

The free market is here, and everyone is mixed together.

James is waiting for the Heat's reinforcements, and the Heat are waiting for James and Bosh's decision. The Rockets are aiming at Anthony, but they are cornered by the Mavericks.

A ring is a ring, and the rings are interlocked.

When all these entanglements, Bosh, the connection point and key figure of all these, made a decision.

He and the Rockets reached a 4-year 9000 million maximum salary extension contract!

In this way, the Rockets have Harden + Bosh at once, and as long as Asik and Jeremy Lin's contracts of 800 million in the last year are dealt with, they can still offer Anthony a maximum salary contract!

Harden + Bosh + Anthony, this is a proper championship lineup!

Bosh's decision directly brought the Rockets from hell to heaven.

And his departure caused the Heat to split up instantly.

This time, the wave giant directly changed the pattern of the entire league!

The previous Howard deal didn't blow the fans away. After all, Kobe and Howard's discord in last year's playoffs was obvious, and Howard also got the team's DNP, which is an early warning.

But Bosh really made social media blow up.

"why why why?!"

"I can't understand it at all. The Heat just won the championship, and Bosh has no reason to leave!"

"Could it be that he is no longer willing to be the third giant? Or is Houston's exemption from state taxes allowing him to get more money?"

"It should be possible. At the beginning, the three giants teamed up with a salary cut. Now that everyone has finally won the championship as they wished, it is time to have their own ideas."

"The Rockets really have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity now, my melon, you must come!"

"Rocket Champion!"

"Rocket stocks have a daily limit, so have the Heat stocks reached their daily limit?"

"Now the only one who can save Riley is Anthony!"

"Tsk tsk, this is brother basketball version 2.0? A brother is gone and a new brother is replaced?"

"Laugh, cry, laugh, cry~"

……

The fans and the media don't know the original intention of Bosh's choice to go to the Rockets, and even the Heat's teammates and management don't know.

Only Bosh himself knows the truth.

After the Heat lost the previous year, James and Jones complained about Boshpo in the bathroom.

Bosh didn't say anything at the time, but his heart has always been there.

Coupled with the unprecedented praise of James from the fans in the championship parade and the media.

The feeling is that it is our teammates who did not win the championship, and it is all thanks to you, James, who won the championship?

I have been playing with you for 4 years, and I am a fool to continue!

So when he won the championship, of course he patted his ass and left!

What's more, he will have more money and shooting rights in Houston!

Bosh's decision set off another storm in the free market after Howard, and the next person who could escalate the storm became Anthony.

Anthony goes to the Rockets, the Rockets are the favorites to win the championship; Anthony goes to the Heat, the Heat are the favorites to win the championship.

Even Anthony can go to the Bulls to join forces with Rose, and Butler is also the favorite to win the championship!

Anthony hadn't made a decision yet, but Morey was under unprecedented pressure at this time.

Because there are only 3 days to decide whether to match Parsons, if Anthony finally decides after this time, if the Rockets do not match and Anthony does not come, then the slogan of the Rockets championship will die prematurely.

Cuban's general really hit the nail on the head.

Now just wait for the three-day matching time to expire.

The Rockets, Mavericks, Heat, Lakers, and Knicks have become the most active teams in the free market.

Howard, Bosh, Anthony, James, these are the focus of most attention in the free market.

Also in this process, Demps is also working hard for reinforcements for the Pelicans.

But he hit a wall in the process.

Hayward turned him down at first, and Bradley declined later.

Not everyone is like Tang Tian, ​​willing to come to a small city like New Orleans.

After some twists and turns, the target of the Pelicans' reinforcement finally came to the stage of choosing one of the two.

"Luol Deng, or Ariza."

Dempsey gave Tang Tian the result of his last efforts.

Deng is a veteran with plenty of experience, which will be of great help to the young Pelicans, and he has 3 and D, strong body, and can withstand James.

Ariza is at the peak, also has 3 and D, but the stability of his performance is average, and his body is thin.

"Deng's contract talks about 2 million for 2000 years, Ariza is 4 million for 4000 years."

Dempsey then discussed the contract between the two, the annual salary is the same, but Deng is a veteran, the number of years will be shorter.

"Personally, I am inclined to Deng. Our young players can also have a succession process when they grow up."

Dempsey also gave his own opinion at the end.

Tang Tian nodded after listening. There was nothing wrong with Dempsey's analysis.

"Pick Ariza."

Tang Tian said.

Dempsey was full of old blood. Is it a habitual action to follow Tang Tian's nodding just now?Fool!

"Our growth will be very fast, and we need long-term immediate combat power."

Tang Tian gave Dempsey a reason.

Demps' analysis is correct, but neither his nor Davis's growth rate can be viewed from a normal perspective.

And Jokic and Whiteside, they are both underrated players.

In other words, the progress of the Pelicans is beyond common sense.

So under this premise, they need more immediate and durable players like Ariza, rather than letting Deng do the work of inheritance.

Moreover, a team must have veterans and young players, and it also needs a peak role player like Ariza.

Dempsey was persuaded by Tang Tian.
