Legend of Tomorrow

? When Guo Xu was having a great time making a cameo in the movie, NBA free market transactions continued to be signed, and many big deals took place.

The Rockets and Magic reached an agreement and conducted a player trade of up to 7 players. The Rockets received Tracy McGrady, Juan Howard, Tyronn Lue and Rhys Gaines, and the Magic received Steve Francis. , Cuttino Mobley and Kevin Catto.

At this time, Yao Ming was returning to China to prepare for the Athens Olympics. When he saw the news, he was surprised and happy.

He was shocked that Father was suddenly replaced. Although this boss's ability was average and he was a prodigal, he was more generous. What he was happy about was that the team replaced him with Tracy McGrady, who had won the scoring title, and was obviously better than Big Brother. A level higher, and Cato finally got out. He had had enough of the Rockets' twin tower tactics.

This deal is inevitable. Van Gundy and Francis had conflicts last season and refused to give in. In order to establish Van Gundy's authority, Francis became the victim of the Rockets' extradition of Tracy McGrady this year.

Mobley and Fred were almost life-and-death friends, and they often lived together in nightclubs to practice ball control. Van Gundy was at odds with Francis, which naturally offended Mobley, so he was sent away.

Before leaving, Mobley also criticized Van Gundy a few words, saying that the most intolerable thing was that Van Gundy often scolded the players and wished that the players' movements were accurate to the millimeter according to his requirements. It was so unpleasant.

The two repeatedly summoned players who Van Gundy didn't like to force the Rockets management to fire Van Gundy, but unfortunately they failed.

In addition, the Rockets also completed a three-person trade with the Hornets. The Rockets acquired guard David Wesley and sent away veteran Jim Jackson and Slovenian player Nahba.

Nahba was also one of the players who hated Van Gundy and was purged from the team. The management firmly believed that the stubborn and rigid Van Gundy was the best choice to lead the Rockets to rise. In fact, this idea was quite wrong.

After Van Gundy came to the Rockets, he gave Nahba some playing time, and turned Nahba, who has comprehensive skills and flexible mobility, into a fixed-point shooter and defensive blue-collar player.

After Nahba left, he also expressed his dissatisfaction with Van Gundy: I am a small forward who can break through with the ball and play in isolation. I can not only shoot, but he doesn't see me that way. He only allows me to do two things on the court. The main thing is to defend and stand in the open space to catch and shoot. Even if I dribble the ball, he will put me on the bench.

Francis was also interviewed. When he mentioned Van Gundy, he looked disdainful and said a few vague words, which can basically be understood as This guy can actually be a coach?

In any case, this is a win-win deal. The Rockets finally have a power forward who can stretch the space and can combine inside and outside. Last season, Yao Ming had to pull out to cover. What was embarrassing was that Cato did not have the ability to attack the penalty area.

Next season Howard can be pulled out as a mid-range shooter, and Yao Ming can play in the pick-and-roll or catch the ball in the low post and play in singles.

With the arrival of McGrady, the Rockets also have a super scorer on the outside. The management only needs to dig out another capable point guard, and the new season will be very promising. If the Rockets' starting point guard is Tyronn Lue, there will be no consequences...

It's a pity that Rockets owner Alexander is famous for being stingy. In Guo Xu's previous life, if the Rockets had spent money to sign good defensive point guards and power forwards earlier, the Rockets would have been able to compete for the championship. Now that Howard has a mid-range shot, his defense isn't that good either.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe jumped out of his contract and entered the free market. He has a six-year, $70.9 million contract. Next season is the final year, and he has player options.

In everyone's opinion, Kobe's behavior is forcing the management to make the Lakers choose between him and O'Neal. If he does not quit, the two can cooperate for at least one more year, because O'Neal's contract will not expire until 2006. maturity.

The failures in the first two seasons have caused the Lakers management to lose confidence in the OK combination. They did not hesitate to send away O'Neal, whose career was about to decline, and chose Kobe, who was at his peak, younger and more talented.

The Mavericks were the most active team in pursuing O'Neal and had a lot of chips, but the Lakers didn't want to keep O'Neal in the West and turned against him, sending him to the Heat.

The Lakers tested the Heat's willingness to send Wade, but Riley immediately rejected it and later made an offer - Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, Brian Grant and a first-round pick. The Lakers chose to agree.

This is a win-win deal. The Heat sent two players in their prime, an experienced inside veteran and draft picks, which can help the Lakers complete their reconstruction immediately, and the overall strength next season will not be weak. After acquiring O'Neal, the Heat can use him and Wade to combine inside and outside to fight for the championship.

Compared with Guo Xu's previous life, the Heat's lineup is different in that there is less Haslem and more power forward Baxter and swingman Matt Barnes, which is quite strong.

As soon as the O'Neal trade was completed, the Lakers announced a contract extension with Kobe. The contract was as high as 136 million for 7 years, which shocked the entire league!

This contract will be nothing in the future, but in 2004 it was the highest total salary in history. The six-year 126 million that Garnett signed with the Timberwolves that year became the second highest. Garnett's average annual salary was higher, and there was no concept of a maximum salary at that time. You know, the league's salary cap for the 2004-05 season was only $43.87 million.

At the signing ceremony, Bass said affectionately: Son, I'm sorry that we can only give you so much according to the regulations, but I hope you understand that I really want to give you more.

Old Buss likes Kobe so much. After Kobe won the scoring title in his previous life, he even said: To the Lakers, Kobe's annual value is at least 70 million. Kobe believed in his boss's words and was particularly confident when he forced the palace to leave in 2007...

The largest contract in history of 136 million for 7 years was not broken until 2015 by Lillard's 140 million for 5 years, and Lillard was able to surpass this record only by taking advantage of the Ross Clause.

Although Kobe's current popularity and commercial value are completely incomparable to Guo Xu, the Lakers have no other choice. O'Neal and Zen Master Jackson have already left. If Kobe Bryant leaves again, the Lakers will not even be able to guarantee attendance next season.

On the Timberwolves side, Wolf King Garnett's new five-year, US$100 million contract will also begin to be implemented, with an average annual salary of 20 million.

Garnett did not opt ​​out of his contract. Last season, his annual salary of 28 million was the highest in the league. In order for the Timberwolves to sign other players, he chose to renew his contract in advance in 2003, otherwise he would not have a foothold in the NBA in the future.

To put it bluntly, Garnett is taking a passive salary cut. Based on his salary last season, if he does not renew his contract in advance, according to the provisions of the labor agreement, his theoretical next maximum salary is 179 million in five years. In 2004, no team The team can afford players with such high salaries. Garnett cannot always account for more than 60% of the team's salary cap. It is just a question of how much it will be reduced.

KG secretaries were all moved. Even after Garnett cut his salary significantly for the team, his average annual salary was higher than that of Kobe Bryant, who signed the highest salary in history, and higher than the combined annual salary of the other two monsters on the team. With such an uneven distribution, it is inevitable that the Timberwolves will transform into the Huskies to tear down the family next season.

When Guo Xu signed with the Suns in 2002, his contract was 75 million for six years, which was also the maximum salary. The gap was too big.

Countless fans immediately started discussions on the Internet, believing that Guo Xu is still the representative of the league's low salary and high energy. According to the contracts between Kobe and Garnett, Guo Xu's popularity and record are at least 200 million in 7 years, 3,000 per year. Ten thousand is reasonable.

Of course this is impossible. No matter how well Guo Xu plays, the contract must be signed in accordance with the labor agreement... (https:)
