I'm really good at shooting.

This is Yi Jianlian in the small ball era!He is worth the money!

At the same time, they also gave Paul an early renewal contract of nearly 5 years and 1.07 million, which will take effect next summer.

Just as I said before, the Bulls threw out a check for 2 million knives at once!

The Bulls have finally risen since Jordan retired, and the team is reluctant to enter the reconstruction again!

However, this wave of Bulls can be regarded as saving a lot of image among fans.

After all, the Knicks in the Eastern Conference are now the best in the Eastern Conference. At the crossroads, they did not choose to change the road but meet them head-on, which is worthy of praise.

Just like the Warriors dynasty in history, the Houston team's signing of Paul is commendable.

And with this wave of signings, the Bulls will be in the Big Three lineup for at least the next four years.

No one knows what will happen in the future. If they can win the Knicks, or the Knicks lineup disintegrates first, then the Bulls will be the kings of the Eastern Conference.

Just one word, bet.

This wave of domineering operations also made the already nervous Knicks even more nervous.

Because they not only have to face tremendous pressure from the Warriors and Lakers in the West, but also have to face a strong challenge from the Bulls in the same district.

Of course, there is also the issue of Harden's contract renewal mentioned before.

Due to differences in the renewal amount, the two parties' early contract renewal negotiations have reached a deadlock.

This difference is different from the 400 million that the Thunder lacked in history.

In history, Harden grew up with Durant and Westbrook in the Thunder, which is also the reason for the "Thunder Four".

In that case, he is willing to make some sacrifices for the team.

But it's different in the Knicks. He was originally the owner of the Knicks, and the Big Three came later.

It's like the "birds occupying the dove's nest" between Israel and Palestine.

It was already a sacrifice for him to play as a substitute for the team, and he is obviously not willing to make him sacrifice at this time.

So the disagreement becomes: Harden hopes to get the maximum salary contract he deserves from the Knicks, and the Knicks do not want to provide Harden with such a contract because of salary pressure.

Or in other words, if the Knicks cannot complete the early contract extension, then they will most likely lose Harden for nothing next season.

Because although Harden is a restricted free agent next season, with the current salary situation of the Knicks, they cannot match the offers of other teams.

So according to the current situation, the Knicks are likely to choose to trade Harden away this summer, and then change to a cost-effective player.

This situation is exactly the same as that of the Thunder in the same period in history.

And one thing better than the Thunder is that the Knicks have more than enough outside manpower.

Even if Harden is sent away, they still have Paul George and Mike Miller.

Under such circumstances, although Harden will not encounter the "one-hour consideration" situation in history, if he is unwilling to cut his salary and renew his contract, then his Knicks career may have entered the countdown.

After Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian successively confirmed their next home, Delong finally had a result.

Deron not only chose to leave the sad place of New Orleans, but also chose to leave the west directly and travel east!

He joined the New Jersey Nets.

This also means that the Nets, which have been bad for several years, will send away Harris, the current starting point guard in the team (which can bring them a quasi-All-Star player).

Plus Lopez, who is already in the team, and Harrison Barnes, the top small forward selected this year.

The Nets can be considered to be on the road to reconstruction.

Sun Hao was on vacation in Miami Beach, where he "met" Jordan.

Looking at Jordan's expression of "I finally found you" when he saw him, Sun Hao didn't point it out.

The two sat in a seaside hut, drinking iced orange drinks and chatting.

They didn't talk about Yao Ming at the beginning, they first talked about Sun Hao's performance last season.

"You really didn't leave me anything."

Jordan said with a wry smile.

Others have never seen this kind of expression before, and I'm afraid they won't have the chance to see it in the future.

Jordan is the only one who can make the god of basketball express such emotion.

"Tell me, are you and Yao planning to start another dynasty in Los Angeles?"

Moreover, the connection between Jordan's words is really beautiful, and this sentence has already been transferred to the matter of Yao Ming.

"The Warriors are not an easy opponent to beat, but..."

There was a turning point in Sun Hao's speech.

"I think the idea of ​​completing a dynasty with Yao is also good."

Jordan froze for a moment, then shook his head with a laugh.

Sun Hao's character is really similar to him in some aspects.

"I am very happy that Yao chose Los Angeles. This is not a compliment. I can see his contribution to the Wizards and feel his struggle. I am actually very happy that he can go to Los Angeles."

When Jordan said this, he had already put away his smile, and his expression was very serious.

Sun Hao also nodded.

"It's my team..."

After finishing speaking, Jordan suddenly had another burst of emotion on his face.

Sun Hao is such a smart person, after saying this, he should know the reason why Mr. Qiao came to him in such a busy way.

11 years ago, he recommended Yao Ming to Jordan, and because of Yao Ming, the Wizards have remained among the strong teams for 11 years.

Now that Yao Ming has left, he wants Sun Hao to find him a new cornerstone for team building.

"James Harden."

Sun Hao said a name that he would almost certainly say.

Harden's ability has already shown its edge last season, but because he played as a sixth man and his statistics were not impressive enough, there are actually not many teams willing to provide him with a maximum salary at this time.

This is a huge opportunity for the Wizards.

Jordan hesitated a little, but quickly nodded with a smile.

Among the many teams that are unwilling to provide Harden with a maximum salary, the Wizards are also one of them.

Jordan, also doesn't like the guard who loves big ass off-court news.

But he believed in Sun Hao.

Jordan's actions were very fast. Only two days later, the media exposed the Wizards' movements.

They are negotiating with the Knicks about trading Harden.

This is to be expected.

Unexpectedly, the Wizards' deal involved the Lakers.

The specific process is probably like this.

The Wizards found the Knicks and expressed their intention to sign first and then trade for Harden with a maximum salary.

The Knicks took a look at the Wizards' roster and said they didn't have what they wanted.

Then the Wizards asked what you want.

After looking around this year's free market, the Knicks said they wanted the Lakers' Hibbert.

It's just that they had talked with the Lakers before, and the Lakers didn't want Harden, so they broke up unhappy.

Ever since, a proposal for a tripartite deal was quickly exposed by the media.

The general content is as follows:

The Knicks and Harden have a 5-year maximum salary in advance, and then send him to the Wizards, get Roy Hibbert and a future second round from the Lakers, and get the Wizards' first-round pick for next year from the Wizards;

The Wizards signed Yao Ming with a 5-year maximum salary, and then sent him to the Lakers. At the same time, they sent him to the Knicks in the first round of next year to get Harden from the Knicks and Jamal Crawford from the Lakers.

The Lakers signed Hibbert to a 4-year 4400 million contract, and at the same time packaged Crawford and a future second round to get Yao Ming.

There are still some special factors in the occurrence of this transaction.

Because theoretically speaking, the Lakers and the Knicks are potential opponents, and this kind of operation to strengthen the opponent is impossible for both parties.

But the special thing is that this transaction is not only to strengthen the opponent, but also to upgrade its own lineup.

And Yao Ming also played a role in promoting this transaction.

He hopes that his departure will bring some assets to the Wizards.

So although there is no official announcement yet, the deal is basically close.

There was news before Yao Ming joined the Lakers, so Lakers fans are not so surprised by this at this time.

On the Wizards and Knicks side, the fans were pleasantly surprised.

Washington fans were surprised by the team's approach. They don't think a guard with a big ass is worth a five-year max contract, even though he had a good season last season.

And Knicks fans were pleasantly surprised.

Because in the past two years, the biggest problem for the Knicks has been the inside line, and now they have signed Hibbert!

Although it can't be compared with Yao Ming's level of center, Hibbert has excellent physical condition and is also a quasi-All-star player.

As I said before, although it is a pity to lose Harden, they still have George and Miller on the outside!

So getting Hibbert is more exciting than losing Harden!

Wade, George, Anthony, James, Hibbert!

This lineup, whether it is the Warriors or the Lakers, they have enough confidence!

Or to put it another way, after a short period of Niyong's hegemony, another new version of the three pillars has come.

This kind of chaos is obviously more exciting!

After Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Delong, other big names have also produced results one after another. When the second half of the free market is over, it will be the stage for the veterans.

The first to break the news was the Knicks, who signed a three-year 3 million contract with Kidd using the middle class exception.

A one-year contract of 300 million, but because the Knicks traded Hibbert already need to pay the super luxury tax, they need to pay close to 800 million US dollars a year for Kidd's contract.

This is true inhumanity.

However, this is also really reinforcing!

Because after Harden left the team, the Knicks' back line really lacked a ball-holding organization!

Kidd is old, but the older he gets, the more demon he gets.

In addition, James said in the early years that the defender he most wanted to cooperate with was Kidd, and some of this wave got what they wanted.

In the eyes of the media, after completing this signing, the Knicks have surpassed the Warriors, Lakers and Clippers and become the most popular team to win the championship next season!

The Clippers were not far behind. They used a sign-and-trade contract to send Lu Wei to the Suns in exchange for Nash and the future second round!

Because Nash's contract expired, this deal also adopted a sign-and-change model. Nash's new contract is 3 million in three years.

Lu Wei performed well last season, but the problem of defense is not small.

And the most important thing is that Kobe can't afford to wait.

So compared to Nash, who is more experienced and more powerful, the Clippers' choice is understandable.

In this way, the Clippers will form the F4 lineup of Nash, Kobe, Gasol and Howard next season!

Nash will make his last fight for the championship with the Clippers!

Well, the "New F4 of the Lakers" in history still appeared in Los Angeles, but it was just next door to the Clippers.

And the biggest difference from the Lakers in history is that Kobe is still healthy.

That would make for different expectations from this same F4 lineup.

Then, the Lakers also took advantage of the opportunity to win the last of the big three veteran point guards in the free market, and Billups signed a veteran low-salary contract!

And almost at the same time, the Bulls over there quietly signed Ray Allen with a 3-year 900 million contract!

Good guy, with this series of news, the fans suddenly realized that what they wanted to enter was not a three-legged confrontation, but a group of heroes!
