However, even if the Knicks buy out Francis, the team still has Marbury with a contract as long as Francis but with a higher salary.

Marbury's status, and the situation between him and the Knicks, is not much better than Francis...

And there must be an additional mention of the amnesty clause here.

Many people know that this clause is included in the new labor agreement in 2011.

But in fact, this clause appeared in 2005.

The background that appeared at that time was to solve the big contract of Alan Houston in the Knicks.

Therefore, the amnesty clause is also known as the "Alan Houston Clause".

only……

The Knicks did not use this clause on Houston, but used a role player "garbage dog" Jerome Williams with an annual salary of only 700 million...

So now facing the big contracts of Francis and Marbury, they can't change them, so they can only be forced to buy them out like this.

Well, this operation is very Nix.

In addition to these two, Jalen Rose, who was previously traded to the Pacers, Eric Snow of the Cavaliers, David Wesley of the Celtics, etc., have successively reached buyouts with their home teams.

The alliance, which had just stopped for a short time, started to stir up again.

The only difference is that this time the initiative has changed from the team to the players.

The two people who get the most attention.

Webber has attracted the looting from the Pistons, Celtics, Nuggets, Nets, Spurs and others.

Maybe Weber himself didn't expect that at the end of his career, he would be able to enjoy the feeling of being more famous than when he was at his peak.

So did Francis.

Among them, the most violent pursuit belongs to the Celtics.

And you have to feel that Angie is really a shrewd businessman.

He has been suffocating the Celtics' mid-level special case this season, and now he is directly using it to chase Francis.

This also puts them in the leading position in the battle.

If they can finally get Francis, then the Celtics can say "I am invincible in the world".

After this day's training, Sun Hao and O'Neal sat on the sidelines and had a daily chat.

The two didn't talk about whether to recruit anyone.

Because if you really want to do that, the team will lay off people to make room before the buyout deadline.

Otherwise, it would be a lot of loss to lay off people after the buyout deadline.

Of course, the more important thing is that the current lineup of the Lakers has no one worth cutting.

Their mentality is still based on watching the show, supplemented by chattering.

"Where do you think Steve Francis is going?"

What O'Neill asked was also the funniest.

Sun Hao didn't answer right away this time. He, a traveler, guessed wrong about Kobe's trade before.

This Francis, he had to think about it.

"Boston."

After thinking enough, Sun Hao gave his own answer.

"Boston has a bigger contract and a better opportunity."

Sun Hao then gave his own reasons.

According to normal thinking, Francis is more likely to go to the Bulls.

Because Francis is a more emotional person, when he was in the Bulls, he also went too far for Yi Jianlian.

Just 29 years old, Francis should not be reconciled to just playing on the bench.

When the Bulls have Paul, he has no chance at all.

On the other hand, in Boston, Rondo is still young, and Boykins may not have many opportunities due to his height in the playoffs.

So in comparison, the possibility of Francis going there should be the greatest.

O'Neal nodded this time.

He would ask, and in fact he felt the same way.

Only in that way, Boston became stronger again.

"With Chris Webber, I think he's going to Detroit."

Sun Hao also chatted with Weber.

In history, Weber also went to the Pistons this year, and went to replace Big Ben as the starting center, and performed quite well.

"I think Chris should go to Boston."

O'Neill continued.

"Ok?"

"Shaq's intuition."

O'Neill smiled and pointed to his head.

"Also a possibility."

Sun Hao thought for a while and nodded.

In Weber's words, there is actually nothing missing, except for a championship ring.

Now in the league, where else has a better chance of winning the ring than Boston?

It's just that they all went to the Celtics...

Ahem, even if he likes a challenge, this Celtic is a bit too strong.

The difference between the buyout deadline and the trade deadline is that it is just a buyout day.

As for the signing, as long as it is bought out before that day, whenever you sign, you can represent the team in the playoffs.

So each player's signing date is different.

For example, Jalen Rose signed with the Clippers on the second day of the deadline.

The Clippers have already vacated their positions, which was obviously discussed before.

The signing is also interesting.

In the 2000 Finals, Rose, who was playing for the Pacers at the time, scored 32 points and led the team to a crushing victory over the OK Lakers.

And in history, he later went to the Raptors and became the background board for Kobe's 81 points.

And now, he was teammates with Kobe at the end of his career.

So in the NBA, that sentence is still very practical: stay a line in life, so that we can meet each other in the future.

Because your opponent today is likely to be your teammate tomorrow.

Not long after Rose signed his contract, Francis also made his decision.

It's just that his decision was beyond most people's expectations.

This also includes Sun Hao and O'Neill.

Well, Sun Hao guessed wrong again.

(Sun Hao: Meow meow? Where is the protagonist's face?)

Francis did not go to the Bulls, and Sun Hao guessed it right.

But he didn't go to the Celtics either!

He finally chose to go to the Wizards! !

"Salary is not the main consideration for me. I want to go to a place where I can win."

This is Francis' message on his personal Twitter after making the decision.

Garnett and the Celtics said they were offended!

However, it is very exciting!

This is an invisible escalation of the battle between the Wizards and the Celtics in the East!

"You said, will Boston not make it to the Finals?"

After Francis announced the news, Sun Hao and O'Neal sat down and chatted again.

At this time, he thought of the wave of confrontation between Durant and netizens on social media on social media: "We should expect the scene where Boston can't make it to the finals."

Could it be that a word has become a proverb?

Originally, after Artest went, the Wizards had already shown enough strength to fight the Celtics.

Francis now.

Oh, by the way, Francis' current state by the way.

Although he had trouble with the Knicks management and coaching staff, Francis still averaged 12+4+4 per game.

And because he has the experience of being teammates with Yi Jianlian, he and Yao Ming should get along well.

Francis + Tracy McGrady + Artest + Uncle Huo + Yao Ming, and Nelson, Alexander, Uncle Mu and other high-quality substitutes on the bench.

This Washington "Rockets" team, the possibility of overthrowing the Celtics Big Three is not small!

"Maybe that's what Steve is going for!"

O'Neal patted his thigh and said.

Sun Hao was also taken aback for a moment, then laughed and patted O'Neill's thigh.

Or O'Neill has an idea.

But don't tell me, it's really possible!

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Celtics are the most promising to win the championship.

Or, you can also understand that going to the Celtics is tantamount to hugging the thigh.

With Francis' character, it is estimated that he would not like to do such a thing.

"The question now is, where does Chris Webber go."

Sun Hao continued.

"I think it's good for him to go next door, the Michigan Fab."

O'Neill continued.

Next door refers to the Clippers, and Rose just went there.

Webb is the boss of the "Michigan Five Tigers", and Ross is the third.

"Then you should go to Washington, too, to Juwan Howard."

Sun Hao said with a smile.

"How did I forget him?"

O'Neal patted his head.

"But if that's the case, it would be interesting."

He then nodded, his face couldn't stop showing the expression of "there is a good show to watch".

Francis and Webber both go to the Wizards, which will be a huge reinforcement to the Wizards.

When the Wizards beat the Celtics, they not only have the power to fight, but also have a great chance of winning!

This is really going to "sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight"!

The next day, Webb also announced his decision.

He really went to the Wizards! !
