Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 1231 [Strength takes the blame, the tour is hopeless]

Guo Xu flew to China with Megan and Daddario, and brought with him an agent, a nanny, and several bodyguards.

They mainly came to China to taste delicious food and visited twelve cities in one go. The girlfriend is very relaxed, but Guo Xu inevitably has to interact with fans. He participated in many activities, including basketball, movies and music.

During the event, Guo Xu announced several important things, such as that he would no longer write songs in the future.

He said he lost inspiration after having children. I used to close my eyes before going to bed and think of some melodies in my mind. Now when I close my eyes, my mind is filled with the sounds of children crying.

He is so cool and has the ability to pass the blame to his two sons.

Guo Xu has always been very good to Chinese fans and is naturally the most popular in China. Other NBA stars do not want him to engage in China tour activities as it will block people and money.

This was the case again this year. Only two weeks after Guo Xu left China, Iverson arrived in China. In August, he just missed the team's game in the retired star Big3 League for no reason and acted like a big name. In September, he went to China to act like a big name to make money.

Although there are many people in China who admire Iverson's spirit, Iverson's character has been a bit bad in recent years, and his popularity has been declining. His Shanghai event was postponed for a full hour. After the appearance, he exclaimed that he loved China, and then took a photo with a girl with his face tattooed on her shoulder. The whole thing was over in ten minutes.

There weren't many fans in attendance, so I guess there was only one woman in Shanghai who could have a black man tattooed on her shoulder.

In 2015, Iverson went too far when he came to China for an event. He refused to play and was scolded. The organizer knelt down and apologized. In the end, he was dissatisfied with the event arrangement and became furious, claiming on the spot that he would never come to China again for events. As a result, only two years later, he shouted out that he loves China (money for idiots)!

It's useless for Iverson to shout this time. Not many fans can buy into his reputation as a balloon star. The number one player in NBA history has just left, and here comes a superstar who can't even compete with rookie Guo Xu, and is still acting like a big name. Isn't it sick if anyone likes this kind of person?

In September, Guo Xu has been relaxing at home and not practicing.

He no longer has the motivation to practice. With Durant here, he can be lazy all season, but he won't do that.

The Lakers have no record requirements next season. They have already won once, and there is no point in winning again. Unless Guo Xu plays super statistics, he will not win three consecutive regular season MVP awards.

Several more big deals happened this month.

The Suns sent center Hassan Whiteside, forward Jared Dudley and a 2018 second-round draft pick in exchange for Knicks star Carmelo Anthony.

Owner Brian Colangelo knows that the Suns lack offensive points with the ball and believes that Anthony can attack with the ball. By the way, the team sent away Whiteside, who could only rebound and block shots. Why not? He felt he had made a profit.

How could the Sun actually make money? The important inside players during Guo Xu's leadership have all left the team one after another, and the Suns' internal strength has dropped significantly. The problem of defense in the penalty area alone is doomed for them to not play well in the new season.

In addition, guard Brandon Knight and center Tyson Chandler signed by the Suns are all players in decline, and their outstanding performances are in the past.

The only good news for the Suns is that Klay Thompson is not leaving.

He has two years left on his contract. If he is traded to another team, the new club will have to pay some money to poach him. If he doesn't have good teammates there, he still won't have a chance to compete for the championship. The Suns won't let him go with ordinary chips. If he stays, he can at least make money.

The Warriors re-signed center Rudy Gobert to a four-year, $110 million contract.

They then traded power forward Draymond Green for Bulls power forward Nikola Mirotic, backup point guard Isaiah Cannan, and a first-round pick with top-five protection.

Green sprayed his teammates and finally sprayed him away. After the Warriors management saw the host's ridicule of Green at the NBA awards ceremony, they realized that the league could no longer praise this person, so they sold him at a low price.

The bargaining chip offered by the Bulls was not high. Mirotic signed first and then traded, worth US$27 million in two years. The only valuable thing is the draft pick, because the Bulls are not strong and do not have the core to build a team. If the results are not good, the Warriors will almost certainly get a high-ranking draft pick in the future.

Mirotic's excellent shooting ability can clear the penalty area, and his contract is not large. In this way, when Middleton's contract expires in the future, the Warriors can renew Middleton's contract with a high salary. And the coaching staff also wants to give substitute insider Kevin Looney more opportunities to perform.

If they don't perform well next season, the Warriors can wait until next year before considering recruiting a star power forward. Anyway, the Lakers' lineup is not very strong, and the Warriors have no confidence in winning the championship, so they might as well go with the strategy.

Kevin Love finally left the Wizards in exchange for Hawks small forward Otto Porter. Porter signed first and then traded, with a salary of 106 million in 4 years, which is higher than the current Love.

The Wizards are looking to strengthen their wing strength, and the Hawks are poaching Love to replace Randolph. They gave away both of their two inside starters from last season and need replacements.

The Lakers also re-signed Steven Adams for four years and $100 million. The Thunder offered a high salary to poach people, and Kupchak chose to match the contract after consideration. Adams can help the team on both offense and defense.

All of the Thunder's goals have failed. They also thought about using Kanter as the main bargaining chip in exchange for Love, but the Wizards looked down on him. In the end, the Thunder almost maintained the same lineup as last season.

Most of the famous players in the free market have found their next home, and the choices of some veterans are more interesting.

David West renewed his contract with the Warriors. He has no better choice and is ready to compete for the championship after Guo Xu retires.

Pachulia joined the Pistons for 2.4 million in one year, and there are still teams that dare to ask for him.

Jeff Green signed with the Cavaliers for an annual salary of 2.3 million. He once wanted to join the Lakers, but Kupchak was worried that he would have serious injury risks and the team had no shortage of forwards, so he refused.

Green was sidelined for the entire season due to a heart disease. He is a mediocre player. He has poor confrontation when playing power forward and is not fast enough to play small forward. From the time he entered the league until now, he has never been able to find his position. He averages double figures in points per game but is not very efficient.

Joining the Cavaliers is a good choice for Green. The Cavaliers are a team where Isaiah Thomas is the star player and can switch offense and defense quickly. They don't care about results or defense. Green should be able to play well as a power forward.

Kobe finally joined the Grizzlies with a minimum salary. The Grizzlies made the playoffs last season. Gasol and Conley were also selected to the All-Stars. The core is there.

The condition for Kobe to join is that he can accept coming off the bench and be willing to play without the ball. The Grizzlies' bench lacked offensive power, and their number one signing target was Tyreke Evans. After the latter joined the Lakers, they signed Kobe.

What never changes in NBA is that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Kobe had to make some changes, otherwise he wouldn't be able to break those two records. Although Kobe's condition is getting worse and worse and he will be 40 years old next year, he has not yet reached the point where no one wants him.

After signing the contract, the Memphis media immediately shouted the slogan Black Mamba's last season, trying to use his retirement season as a gimmick to attract fans. The media also publicized Kobe's efforts, saying that the 39-year-old still worked hard to practice shooting in the summer and lost weight to maintain speed, so he would be able to keep up with the pace of the game.

It's a pity that Memphis is not a good city, and the fans have no hope for the record. When the news came out, few fans on the Internet discussed Kobe's efforts. So what if he works so hard every year? His tour is definitely hopeless...
