I'm really good at shooting.

But the most important thing is that the Mavericks can't give them the role they want.

Although they are old, they want to compete for the championship, not to get the championship ring.

What they want is a more convincing champion than Barkley last season.

The Mavericks are well-managed at both point guard and power forward, and cannot give them the roles they want.

This is probably the reason why they also did not go to the Spurs in history.

"Our current manpower is almost the same."

Sun Hao opened his mouth to comfort Little Nelson.

The current lineup on the Mavericks roster:

Point guards: Sun Hao, Van Exel, Calderon;

Shooting Guard: Bell, Adrian Griffin;

Small forwards: Finley, Josh Howard;

Power forwards: Nowitzki, LaFrentz;

Center: Dampier;

In fact, if Malone comes, the role will be bigger than that of Barkley last season.

It's just that if someone doesn't want to come, you can't force him to come.

And it's not bad to renew Collins, who has historically played the starting center for the Nets.

Or in other words, the current configuration of the Mavericks does not have to be anyone if they want to defend the title.

Little Nelson nodded after listening, but still sighed.

Sun Hao looked at him suspiciously.

"If we can't take them down, there is a high probability that they will go to Los Angeles, where our opponents are."

Little Nelson's next words explained the reason for his sigh.

Just like when Jordan came to find Sun Hao, the two talked about the most important point, the free market operation must not only consider self-improvement, but also consider the main competitors.

Lakers F4, will it still appear in the end?

Sun Hao didn't have a deep understanding of this period of history before, but after really being in it, he found that the appearance of F4 seemed inevitable.

The Eagle County incident has caused OK to be on fire, and the only thing that can temporarily ease the conflict between them is the championship.

At this time, it is a good thing to look at the end of last season's dynasty by the Mavericks.

The best way to do this is to form a sufficiently luxurious lineup.

Then it became a logical thing to call Malone and Payton, who have become free agents and have not yet won the championship, to the team.

And the Lakers meet all their requirements, championship, team role, and fpx, the league of losers.

Based on such an analysis, this is almost what will inevitably happen after the Eagle County Incident.

So you say this is a blessing or a curse?

"They're just two veterans, Downey, we're young, everything will be fine."

Seeing Little Nelson's worried expression, Sun Hao said with a smile.

Little Nelson was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

He is really worried too much, Sun Hao is so confident, what is he afraid of.

On the third day after the opening of the free market, while the fans were still discussing the Eagle County incident, the free market began to release bombs one after another.

The Lakers have acquired two of the most popular veterans in the free market, Gary Payton and Karl Malone, in an extremely fast manner.

The former signed a full middle-class contract, and the latter signed a veteran's basic salary!

All of a sudden, all the attention of the fans was diverted from Kobe, and the pot was blown up in an instant.

Perhaps from the perspective of Sun Hao, a time traveler, when the Lakers formed F4, his reaction was: Oh, what should have happened still happened.

But in the eyes of others, the reaction is: what the hell is this!Other teams are still playing snakes!

Last season, the 35-year-old Payton played for the Sonics and the Bucks. He averaged 80 games, averaging 20.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game, and his shooting percentage was 45.4%.

40岁的马龙在爵士队打了81场，场均20.6分7.8板4.7助攻1.7抢断，投篮命中率46.2%。

Many people may not believe it, Payton's average assists per game last season was the second highest in his career, and Malone's average assists per game was the highest in his career!

The Lakers are equivalent to gathering four Hall of Fame-level players at once, and their state last season is still very good!

If Phil Jackson can run the four together, they may even have a chance to break the record of 72 wins set by the Bulls dynasty!

After the news came out, almost everyone felt that the championship had already been booked by the Lakers, and other teams would definitely play the role of accompanying the prince to study next season.

But soon, this year's free market staged a wave of ups and downs.

Just when everyone's eyes were on the Lakers F4, an offer from the Wizards to the Warriors once again made fans feel what it means to be excited.

According to the terms of the early bird right, the Warriors can only give Arenas a contract extension of 175% of the player's salary in the previous year (but not more than the maximum salary) or 105% of the league's average salary in the previous year.

In conversion, it is a contract with a starting salary of 490 million US dollars.

This contract obviously cannot match the worth of Arenas.

Ever since, the Warriors can only watch other teams offer Arenas but can do nothing.

Jordan once again showed everyone his "different from the past" ability. He gave Arenas a contract with a starting salary of 850 million US dollars, which made the Wizards win among the competitors.

Amidst the expressions of envy and hatred of a group of fans, the Wizards ushered in a talented combo guard after Jordan retired.

Little Sun Hao, Yao Ming, plus Mobley and Hamilton.

The Wizards in the new season are still a Finals-level team.

Coupled with the Pistons and Pacers, the pattern of strong west and weak east is quietly changing.

Chapter 318 Mother's Slap

Of course, the excitement of the NBA free market is far more than that.

There are those with such fanfare as the Lakers, and those with such a surprise victory as the Wizards, and of course there are those who make a fortune silently.

The Timberwolves brought in two All-Star players in one go.

"Alien" Sam Cassell and "Mad Men" Sprewell.

New fans' impression of these two people may be more based on their nicknames, looks and even hairstyles.

But in fact, these two people are the kind of players whose strength is greater than their fame.

When Cassell entered the league, he followed the Houston team to complete two consecutive championships, and then formed three musketeers in the Bucks, averaging 18+ per game all year round.

In the past two seasons, Glenn Robinson and Ray Allen have been traded away one after another. He has become the team's main scoring point, and his personal data has reached the level of 20+5+6.

Sprewell is even more obvious. This "madman" who helped the Knicks complete the black eight and played against the Spurs in the finals has not been very popular because of his off-court personality.

But in fact, he entered the league as a star player, was selected to the All-Star 4 times in his career, peaked at 24+5+6, and was still able to contribute 16+4+5 last season.

The reason why it is called making a fortune silently is because the age of these two people, one is 34 years old and the other is 33 years old, most people will feel that they have reached the end of their careers.

But only Sun Hao knew that the Timberwolves used 58 consecutive points in a disastrous defeat and summoned the strongest combination "three-headed monster" in team history.

In addition to these few teams, other tycoons are also continuing to make minor repairs and steadily improve their strength.

The Kings signed Brad Miller, the original starting center of the Pacers. With the aging of Divac, the Kings management hoped that Miller could take over. In fact, they did find the right person;

The Spurs released Stephen Jackson because of Ginobili's growth, and then completed three consecutive operations in one breath:

Signed the Slovenian Nesterovic who started last season with Garnett, Robert Horry, who is considered to be retired, and the traded from the Kings to enter the NBA with Sun Hao, who is considered to have no potential Hill Turkoglu.

Yes, Turkoglu also played for the Spurs.

Then came the Lakers, after F4 was formed, those veterans sharpened their heads and wanted to get in, and wanted to get a championship ring with F4.

This includes the third head of the team during the first Bulls dynasty, and the main power forward "Cobra" Grant who won the Lakers championship in 2000.

It can be said that F4, plus Fisher, Fox, Devin George, Grant and others, such a lineup is not even luxurious enough to describe it.

Perhaps O'Neal's phrase "My grandma can win the championship when coaching" is the most suitable for this team.

The Lakers, the new season is the only existence.

Then came the Mavericks, Spurs, Kings, Timberwolves.

Plus the East and West Pistons, Pacers, Wizards, Celtics, and Nets.

This may be the strongest year for the league as a whole after Sun Hao entered the league.

Mavericks, well, the Mavericks' free agency reinforcements this summer can be described as nothing.

This may seem strange, but if it comes from the future like Sun Hao, you will find that it is actually normal if you look at it from the perspective of history.

In the city of Dallas, few players really want to come here.

As Niu Mi, you should know this most clearly. Every year before the start of the offseason, the A/B/C plan is fully completed, but in the end, only the D plan can be implemented.

Even looking at the reinforcements of the Mavericks in recent years, Bell, old Curry, and Bodi Loga all came because of Sun Hao. uncle in exchange for...

The term free agency has nothing to do with Dallas.

In the end, Nelson could only sit down and talk to Collins. After promising him more roles in the new season, he finally kept him with a two-year mid-level contract.

Then, he successively signed some players without much competition in the free market.

For example, signing evergreen veteran Willis, Daniels who performed well in the summer league, and veteran Rice who wanted to hug his thigh but no one wanted it...

Oh, by the way, perhaps the most successful thing Nelson did was to persuade Calderon to land in the NBA two years earlier than in history.

In this way, the Mavericks' lineup for the new season is basically formed after the free market door is closed.

Point guards: Sun Hao, Van Exel, Calderon;

Shooting Guard: Bell, Adrian Griffin, Marquese Daniels;

Small forwards: Finley, Josh Howard, Glenn Rice;

Power forwards: Nowitzki, LaFrentz, Najera;

Center: Dampier, Collins, Kevin Willis;

Looking at it from the current point of view, the Mavericks' lineup is a bit bleak. Compared with last season's main rotation, there are three fewer players, and all the newcomers and veterans are filled.

But looking at this team from the perspective of the future, Howard and Daniels, the two "Dallas Three Ugly" have entered the team as in history, plus Calderon and "old and strong" Willis, the Mavericks defended the title There is still hope.

The problem now is that it takes time for these rookies to display their strength, and the opponents are all getting stronger.

What will happen to the Mavericks in the new season depends on Nelson Jr.'s coaching ability in the new season.

If he can lead the team to complete the defense, it will really be comparable to the Houston team that made Tomjanovich shout "Don't underestimate the heart of a championship" in the 1994-1995 season.

Of course, it's still early days.

After the door of the free market closed, the long grass period of NBA players has just begun.

Sun Hao, continue to train with Nowitzki and the others in the "House of Evolution".

Just two days later, two more people were added to the training camp, Calderon and Yi Jianlian.

Needless to say, Yi Jianlian came to find Sun Hao to train with the Bulls after officially signing his rookie contract.

The rookie season is quite critical for the player, and he also hopes that he can have an excellent state when he starts the game.

There was a point before that when Yi Jianlian was selected by the Heat, Sun Hao also worried that Yi Jianlian would be destroyed by Riley, the "training madman" who had even disabled O'Neal in history.

Now it seems that the Heat didn't make it, but Yi Jianlian is one of the most diligent in training even without Riley.

As for Calderon, although he regrets his fate and encounters, life has to go on.

The past between him and Sun Hao in the UEFA Champions League can be regarded as tickets to the "House of Evolution".

Sun Hao, after a week of training, took a few days to go to Greensboro, Virginia, and then took another two and a half hours to Oak Hill High School.

Although it has been a while, Sun Hao still remembers what Wanda Platt asked him to do.

What has been promised is a promise, and promises need to be fulfilled.
