I'm really good at shooting.

What the Clippers have is just to provide a more lucrative contract with Bird's terms.

Of course, after leading the Clippers to their first championship in team history and boasting in the championship parade that they will bring more championships to the Clippers and Los Angeles, most people believe that Kobe has no reason to leave the Clippers.

Kobe's operation of jumping out of the contract should be just to get a new big contract.

Then there is another big fish who has not decided to jump out of the contract, but can also cause shocks in the market, Yao Ming.

The situation of Yao Ming's contract was already clear when he and Sun Hao played in the Olympic Games last year.

He has consecutive player options, this year the second and final one.

If he chooses to jump out of the contract, then this year's free market will really be fried fish.

In addition to these three, there are still many fat fish in this year's free market.

Boozer, Odom, Turkoglu, Ben Gordon, Kidd, Marion, Rasheed Wallace...

And David Lee, Villanueva, Brandon Bass, etc. who did not get their contracts renewed in 05 but performed well in the contract year.

This will make the free market lively for a while.

Before the gate of the free market opened, Sun Hao took Scarlett and Little Beijing to Hawaii directly, and he turned off his frequently used mobile phone.

The previous experience in the draft made him realize that he will definitely not be able to stop this summer.

So instead of being harassed non-stop, he simply ran to avoid the limelight, and came back when the free market was almost settled.

After all, although he has not said in public that he chose to stay in the Warriors, in fact, after going through a series of things, it is already settled that he stayed.

He only kept a spare mobile phone by his side, and only Gu Yi knew the number of this mobile phone, not even Fu Paulo.

The reason why Paul Fu didn't even know was that he was not only Sun Hao's manager, but also James'.

This day was also the day before the official opening of the free market, and many people who wanted to visit Sun Hao ran away.

But Sun Hao's phone still rang.

It was Gu Yi who called.

Sun Hao had already told Gu Yi not to fight for things that were not very important.

So he picked it up quickly.

"Yao asked me to tell you that he is going to stay in Washington!"

What Gu Yi said was indeed very important.

Sun Hao was a little surprised by this news, but he could guess it.

He still understands Yao Ming's character.

In history, he had the opportunity to team up with Kobe, but he didn't go in the end.

The fundamental reason is because of his "loyalty".

He feels that a team has cultivated him, and he should stay there to play.

On this point, Sun Hao actually had the same idea at the beginning.

It's just that after being traded by the Mavericks, he also became dependent on the situation.

Moreover, Yao Ming's decision is more or less related to the performance of the Wizards last season.

The Wizards reached the Finals last season and have another chance to strengthen this summer. He should indeed stay.

However, from the perspective of Sun Hao, a traveler, McGrady has been blocked as in history, and he doesn't know whether the state will fall off a cliff like in history.

If so, Yao Ming's life in the next two years will not be easy.

He called Yao Ming.

Basically, just gossip, and some words of blessing.

After all, if McGrady does not fall off a cliff like in history, the Wizards can still look forward to reinforcements.

On July 7, the door to the NBA free market officially opened.

Although no formal signing was reached due to the freezing period, many verbal signings and rumors have been exposed.

Then, the first contract was fried fish.

Yao Ming announced that he had jumped out of the contract!

The management of each team looked excited and looking forward to it.

This new big fish in the pond is as plump as Sun Hao and Kobe!

But soon, they became dull for a while.

Because shortly after Yao Ming jumped out of the contract, the Wizards broke another piece of news.

They reached a 4-year 5800 million contract with Boozer!

Immediately afterwards, they announced that they had reached a five-year 5 million maximum salary contract with Yao Ming!

In other words, Yao Ming jumped out of the contract just for the team to have room to sign Boozer! !

These two contracts are both maximum salaries, the only difference is that Boozer is a rookie in 02, and the starting salary of the maximum salary is 5% less than Yao Ming's salary cap.

In addition, there are differences in contract options.

Boozer's contract option in the final year is a team option, while Yao Ming's contract is the same as the previous contract, with a player option starting from the third year.

After signing these two big contracts, the Wizards' salary immediately exploded.

But obviously, it's worth it.

Because from the point of view of the Wizards management, this may be their only chance to keep Yao Ming.

And it can be foreseen that in order to alleviate the salary pressure, the Wizards will have some deals similar to "cheap sales" and a large number of basic salary signings in the future.

Come back to the Wizards lineup.

Although Boozer's reputation is much worse than that of Garnett, this can be regarded as a lineup of the Big Three!

What Tatum said when he and Stern communicated began to come true.

The emergence of the Celtics' Big Three has created a bad atmosphere in the league!

With two big signings in a row, the Wizards started a strong dominance mode on the first day of the free market.

But on the second day, the protagonist quickly changed.

From the Wizards to the Clippers.

The Clippers directly reached a four-year 4 million maximum salary extension contract with Kobe.

This contract will guarantee that Kobe will play for the Clippers until the 2013-2014 season.

That is, in the last season, the annual salary of this contract will reach 3000 million+ US dollars.

This will also make Kobe the first person to receive this salary after Jordan.

What's more worth mentioning is that there is another very special thing in this contract: the right to veto transactions.

During the contract period, if the Clippers want to trade Kobe, they must obtain the consent of Kobe himself.

The Clippers can be said to have given their greatest respect to Kobe.

Some people will definitely ask why there is only a 4-year contract.

Because the NBA has a 38-year-old clause, after this contract is fulfilled, Kobe can renew the last big contract with the Clippers.

After renewing Kobe, the Clippers immediately renewed Odom with a 4-year 3300 million contract.

This renewal can be said to be quite cheap.

Because no matter how you look at it, Odom's market in the market is also in the tens of millions.

But for Odom himself, his half-season in the Cavaliers made his value plummet. If the Lakers hadn't rescued him, he might have gone to the basic salary.

So it is completely understandable that he is willing to lower some salary to renew the contract.

So far, the Clippers have basically retained last season's winning lineup.

Although the Wizards have added Boozer to their strength, after all, they still need to run in, and McGrady's state is hard to say.

Considering these factors, the Clippers will still be the strongest team in the new season.

After two days, the free agent market is indeed a bit exciting.

But with this start, this year's free market is destined not to be too quiet.

On the third day, another big fish began to swim into the new lotus pond one after another.

First up is Boston.

The biggest competitor, the Wizards, has been reinforced, and they naturally can't be content to fall behind.

They signed "Roaring God" Rasheed Wallace with a two-year full middle class and a contract worth about 1100 million.

Although Wallace is 34 years old, he was still able to contribute 12+7 in the Pistons last season.

This will definitely be a big reinforcement for the Celtics.

Let's talk about the Pistons. After letting Wallace go, they turned around and signed Ben Gordon with a five-year 5 million contract.

Gordon was the No. 2004 pick in [-]. He first played for the Grizzlies for two years and then moved to the Bobcats.

In the contract year, his performance declined and the market conditions were not good. He chose to sign a one-year offer contract with the Bobcats.

Although the Bobcats did not make the playoffs last season, he averaged 20.7 points per game and was the leading scorer.

He and Gerald Wallace's combination of inside and outside, once let the Bobcats see hope of revival.

But in the end, Gordon became a completely free agent, and then went chasing his championship dream.

Another potential message of the Pistons' signing is that they are likely to allow Anthony to gain weight and play power forward next season.

And, that's not all.

Just as the free market was going on, there was a wave of big deals involving four teams in the league.

And this involves several heavy insiders in the league in the past.

The four parties involved in the transaction are the Nuggets, Mavericks, Suns and Knicks.

The Nuggets sent Camby and Martin, a future first-round pick, to get Ben Wallace and Tim;

The Mavericks sent Big Ben and Timothy to get O'Neal;

The Suns sent O'Neal and a second round, and got Camby and a special transaction;

The Knicks sent a special case to get Martin and the first-round pick from the Nuggets and the second-round pick from the Suns!

In this deal, all parties get what they want.

The first is Big Ben and O'Neal. The performance of the two in their respective teams last season did not meet the team's expectations.

This is a typical attempt of "moving the dead and the living".

Moreover, both of them have only one year left in their big contracts, so the risk factor brought by this kind of operation is relatively small.

Let's talk about the team that got these two.

The Lone Ranger team has everything, which is almost meaningless.

They obviously expected O'Neill to be that.

Although O'Neill is 37 years old and at the end of his career, the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, after all, it is a big shark.

Don't go too far, even two years ago, the combination of Nowitzki and O'Neal would have made the league tremble.

After this transaction, they also successfully renewed Kidd with a 3-year 2500 million contract.

This will allow them to still maintain the competitiveness of the league's first echelon.

Then there's the Nuggets.

The Nuggets' two insiders, Martin and Camby, give the impression that the upper limit is too low.

Especially Martin, the contract is almost as big as Daben, but his performance is worse than Daben.

The point is that this contract also puts a lot of salary pressure on the team.

Sending both of them out at once, the Nuggets' operation is pretty good.

And the salary pressure was released at once, the next thing they have to do is to reinforce the power forward position.
