The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"Durant is making fun of the entire league! But this time he really can bear it!"

"I can't help it. I have been beaten by Tang Diao a lot. I have to bear it if I can't bear it. What happened to LeBron is also the same. They cherish each other!"

"This is really cool, the suspense of the championship in the new season is really big!"

……

In addition, there are many fans who gloat.

Of course, in addition to this, many fans hope that the league can intervene in Durant's joining the Lakers.

But like the four hard-trained Pelicans last year, because it was a free contract and did not violate the rules, Tatum could not intervene.

The Lakers, the strongest dual-core team in the league, are unstoppable.

Moreover, as some fans mentioned on social media, the Lakers have follow-up operations.

However, unlike what the fans expected, it was not Ben Simmons who was put on the shelves, but Lonzo Ball.

It seems that in the eyes of the Lakers management, Simmons is more worthy of training than Ball, and they also think that James and Simmons are compatible.

There is even one thing that cannot be said clearly. Simmons is known as the second generation of James and can grow up by James' side.

When James is older, he will be able to officially take over the baton.

Ball was the No. [-] pick last year. Although his rookie season was not very impressive, his talent is there.

Although not as attractive as Simmons, the trade market is still not small.

And not long after it was put on the shelves, the goal of the Lakers gradually became clear.

Bill of the Wizards, McCrum of the Trail Blazers, Devin Booker of the Bulls, Oladipo of the Thunder, Middleton of the Pacers.

An obvious message is that the Lakers still want to form the Big Three.

Although both James and Durant can sign super contracts, Durant's 1+1 contract allows them to have this space.

And they also choose young All-Stars or quasi-All-Stars, so that there will be less pressure on future salary.

The so-called policies above and countermeasures below, the Lakers' ability to read the terms is really good.

But the difficulty for them is that most of these are talented players who can be seen by discerning people, not what they want from other teams.

This is indeed the case.

The Wizards quickly voiced that Bill is not for sale.

The Trail Blazers are also vocal, they will not trade McCrum under any circumstances.

The Bulls also said that Booker and LaVine are the future of the team, and they will not trade any of them.

Only Oladipo of the Thunder and Middleton of the Pacers are the only ones who have no voice and can make the Lakers trade feasible.

The contract Oladipo just signed last year is 4 million in 8400 years, and there are still 3 years left. The annual salary of 2100 million will be the price of cabbage this year.

However, the Lakers need a third-party team to complete this deal. After all, the Thunder already have Westbrook, so it is impossible to ask Ball.

Middleton performed bravely in the Pacers last season, but his cheap contract has only the last year left. This is the Lakers' plan Z.

The free market is still going on, and the remaining capable players have also completed signings one after another.

Rose signed with the Timberwolves for 2 million in two years.

After completing the signing, Rose thanked the Pelicans immediately. The past year in New Orleans really helped him a lot.

Gay signed with the Warriors for 1 million in one year.

The Warriors were tricked by Durant, and the biggest player they can sign in the free agent market now is Gay.

Ariza signed with the Suns for 1 million in one year.

The Suns now have Daniel Smith and Jaylen Brown on the outside, Porzingis and Ayton on the inside, and signing Ariza will be enough to start.

Ariza has the strength and experience, and the Suns will also take part in the Purgatory West in the new season.

Redick joined the Bucks for 1 million in one year.

The Bucks had a problem with outside shooting last season, and signing Redick made up for it.

They really dominate the East in the new season.

The Pelicans signed Jeff Green for one year and $1 million.

Green is one of the most inspirational players in the NBA, but there is also a strange phenomenon after his comeback.

Except for signing a 1500 million contract with the Magic two years ago, he has been signing a basic salary most of the time.

This year he also encountered coldness in the free market again.

Can defend, can shoot three-pointers, and can attack with the ball. Green still has the strength to play in the NBA rotation.

After the Pelicans signed Green, his friend Wade, who is still a free agent, also praised the Pelicans on social media.

In his opinion, the signing of the Pelicans is the same as Rose last year, except for the signing and respect.

However, the competition for the Pelicans' backup striker will be quite fierce.

In addition to Siakam's stability, Crowder, Kuzma, and Green will compete for a rotation spot.

While the fans were still discussing, the Lakers fans ushered in another good news.

Wade, who just praised Green for signing, also announced that he signed a basic salary contract with the Lakers.

Wade from Miami to Cleveland, and then from Cleveland to Los Angeles, he is true love for James.

Wade is still young, and the possibility of the Lakers championship has increased by one point!

The first thousand and one hundred and eighty nine chapters of the New Orleans Spurs

"I heard that Tony and the Spurs' contract extension negotiations have gone wrong."

In Tang Tian's manor, Dempsey looked sad.

Durant signed with the Lakers, and the decision was made after Walker and Butler were determined to join the new team. The Pelicans were miserable.

But things have come to this, he can only choose to continue to make final repairs for the team lineup.

After signing Jeff Green, the Pelicans just need to find another veteran point guard.

He's talking about Parker now.

Parker is not young and did not perform well last season, but he is the FMVP after all, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

And he and Tang Tian were former teammates.

"Tony can still play, and he happens to be a mentor for Alexander when he comes."

Tang Tian agreed with Dempsey's choice.

He knew that Parker had played for the Hornets this season in history, and there was still a lot of fuel in his mailbox.

With Tang Tian's consent, Dempsey quickly got in touch with Parker.

Within two days, the two sides reached a 2-year 1200 million contract with a player option for the second year.

After Walker and Butler left, the Pelicans have a lot of room for the new season, and they will not be stingy about signing.

After the signing was reached, Parker, who spent the first 17 years of his career with the Spurs, switched to the Pelicans in the 18th year.

According to some news that broke out later, the person who made all this happen was Popovich.

The old man hopes that Parker can play the role of a mentor at the end of his career, his playing time will be further reduced, and the contract he signed will also be a basic salary.

But Parker didn't want to do that.

This choice is not surprising.

It just so happened that Popovich gave the Pelicans an assist by changing direction.

After signing Parker, the Pelicans' 15-man roster is already full.

Point guards: Brogdon, Alexander, Parker

Shooting guard: Tang Tian, ​​Ding Yanyuhang, Alonzo Trier

Small forwards: Green, Jae Crowder, Kuzma, Jeff Green

Power forward: Davis, Siakam

Centers: Dedmon, Harrell, Mitchell Robinson

On the guard line, rookie Alexander is expected to get a lot of playing time.

Considering that Ding Yanyuhang and Trier are not very strong, Parker will also enter the regular rotation with a high probability.

On the front line, as analyzed by the fans before, Green and Davis will be the starters, and Siakam will become the team's sixth man in the new season.

If the team plays a junior and a junior, he will be the starting power forward.

Crowder, Kuzma, Jeff Green will compete for another rotation spot.

In the interior, Harrell will get more playing time than last season.

Although the overall strength of this lineup has weakened a lot compared to last season, it can still be seen.

And what's interesting is that Parker, Green, Tang Tian, ​​including the newly retired Diaw, the Pelicans are the New Orleans Spurs.

While the Pelicans and other teams are making minor repairs, the Lakers' trade has finally come to fruition.

The Lakers did not find a third-party team to help them complete the Oladipo deal.

Strong teams don't want the Lakers to continue to become stronger, and weak teams can't meet the Thunder's asking price for first-round signings plus powerful players.

The deal between the Lakers and the Thunder eventually fell apart.

In the end, the Lakers could only start Plan D and reach a deal with the Pacers.

Bauer added a special case of 550 million transactions for Middleton and the 2019 second-round pick.

米德尔顿上赛季在步行者场均22+5+5，但是他2015年和雄鹿队签的5年7000万，新赛季合同才1300万。

It's really cheap.

But as fans know before, Middleton's contract has player options for next season, and this contract is actually only one year.

In terms of bargaining chips, the Lakers must have lost money in this deal.

But the problem is that they have no choice.

And Middleton can shoot and play with the ball. If he can stay next year, the Lakers will definitely make money.

After getting Middleton's deal done, other signings of the Lakers have also been carried out one after another.

One-year 1 million contract renewal for Pope;

2-year 1000 million contract renewal for Brook Lopez;

1 year, 500 million signing Stephenson;

Renew Frye with a minimum salary of 1 year;

Signed McGee with a minimum salary of 1 year;

Signed Reggie Bullock with a minimum salary of 1 year;

Sign Caruso with a minimum salary of 1 year;

The Lakers lineup for the new season.

Starting lineup: Simmons + Middleton + Durant + James + Lopez.

Substitutes: Caruso, Bullock, Stephenson, Pope, Hart, Frye, McGee, Zubac.

This lineup definitely has the strength to challenge the Spurs and Pelicans.

However, some fans on social media questioned the compatibility of Simmons and James.

In James' playing career for so many years, his teammates basically have the ability to shoot from the outside.

This question was also thrown in front of the parties Simmons and James.

The answers of the two are also very interesting.
