Legend of Tomorrow

? The news on Guo Xu is basically entertainment news, while the news on other stars is sports news.

In August, the Mavericks completed a major lineup overhaul. The five-star lineup failed and was disbanded after one year.

The Mavericks traded with the Wizards for rookie point guard Devin Harris, Stackhouse and Laettner, while the Wizards got the Mavericks' NBA Sixth Man of the Year Antoine Jamison last season and some cash.

This is more profitable than trading the Wizards. The main thing that comes back is just a rookie, and by the way, the bad contracts of Stackhouse and Laettner are cleared, and what is exchanged is someone with All-Star ability.

Stackhouse's shooting percentage last season was less than 40%, and he scored 14 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4 assists. He was a prolific shooter. His only advantage is that he is cheaper than Jamison, with an annual salary of $7.44 million next season and three years left on his contract worth $22.5 million.

The Mavericks' plan is to sign Stackhouse to play as the sixth man and lead the offense with the bench, but unfortunately the efficiency will definitely not be high.

Laettner was no longer available. The Mavericks waived him after the trade, and Laettner joined the Heat with a minimum salary.

In addition, the Mavericks also used a future first-round pick from the Jazz in exchange for the No. 21 pick Russian giant Podkolkin. This is a tragedy compared to the transaction, but both Nelson and manager Nelson were very happy and expressed satisfaction with the transaction.

Yao Ming performed very well in the Rockets. Nelson and his son brought in a 226cm big center. Together with Big Bamboo Rod Bradley, the Mavericks had two giants in the lineup.

The media is baffled by the operation of the Mavericks management. Now many teams have begun to imitate the Suns' run-and-gun style and increase the speed of offense and defense. What does the Mavericks want to do by hoarding high center forwards with extremely poor athletic ability?

Even more funny is Podkolkin, who is called Russian Yao Ming. Although he is only 18 years old this year, he was extremely confident at the press conference when he joined the Mavericks. He said that he would surpass Yao Ming and said that he was better than Yao Ming. Yao Ming was even better at the same age.

However, after watching the news, Guo Xu never thought of such a person in his previous life. His fame is not as good as that of Korean Yao Ming, who at least left people with the impression of he was born in Yu, and He Shengzhen.

The Mavericks also sent power forward Antoine Walker and shooting guard Delk to the Hawks in exchange for guard Jason Terry and forward Alan Henderson, and received a future first-round draft pick from the Hawks.

Afterwards, the Mavericks used the money that was supposed to be given to Nash to sign blue-collar center Eric Dampier, offering a seven-year, $73 million contract.

In Guo Xu's previous life, this was an extremely stupid operation in NBA history. It was not until 6 years later that

Mavericks, who had been cheated all over, finally had a chance to get rid of this burden.

Just because Dampier posted 12+12 numbers in the contract year of the underdog Warriors, the Mavericks management is particularly optimistic about him. According to the provisions of the contract, Dampier also has an invisible agreement, up to 13 million US dollars, provided that Dampier must meet two conditions to be eligible to receive this salary.

What are the two conditions? The first is that Dampier was selected to the All-Star at least three times in the six seasons from 2004 to 2010, and the second is that Dampier plays 70 regular season games next season or plays more than 2,100 minutes.

The Mavericks management actually thinks that using financial incentives can unleash Dampier's potential and make him an All-Star?

How could he get this money? This is more difficult than an actor earning 30 million for a 9-second scene.

However, Dampier, who is full of self-confidence, boasted in an interview with the media that he is the second center in the Western Conference. He is obviously confident of becoming an All-Star.

At that press conference, the Mavericks management and coaches also clamored to compete with the Suns for the championship. Last season, Nelson also said that he wanted Walker to get a triple-double every game. Everyone thought that just listen to this and don't take it seriously.

After the Mavericks signed Dampier, the Hawks signed point guard Steve Nash for 60 million in five years, a contract that was a little lower than Guo Xu's previous life. The Mavericks have been badly beaten in the playoffs in recent years. Nash's defense has been criticized and his value has dropped.

Mavericks owner Cuban didn't think Nash could help the Mavericks go further. Coach Nelson was very angry about this. He was very optimistic about Nash. According to Nelson, the boss refused to match the Eagles' bid, and he had no say in the matter.

The Hawks also made a trade with the Pacers, trading swingman Stephen Jackson for power forward Al Harrington. This was a needed move. The Pacers strengthened the weak second position and prepared to hit the championship, while the Hawks strengthened Improved inside strength.

The Suns are already a championship team and will not sign Nash even if they have salary space, leaving the Hawks with a big surprise.

Guo Xu read the news and felt that this was a very good destination for Nash and a win-win situation. The biggest winner in this summer's free market is the Hawks. They may become a dark horse in the Eastern Conference next season.

As long as the Hawks play quick counterattacks, they are very strong. Nash is one of the guards who is best at launching fast breaks.

Although Fat Toutuo Walker is slower, he can shoot three-pointers and can also play as a center in small-ball tactics. His style seems to work well with Nash.

This year's rookies, Josh Smith and Childress, are not very accurate in shooting, but they have super athletic ability and can play fast breaks; Harrington and Diaw are also forwards about two meters tall and can run very well.

The biggest hidden danger for the Hawks is that their head coach is Mike Woodson, who studied under Larry Brown, a defensive coach who likes to play positional warfare and set up iron barrel formations. If the Hawks still have a very mobile lineup next season, Nash may cry.

The Hawks also have a super bad contract that will affect their ability to renew young players in the future, and that is the bad Penny Hardaway in their hands.

Other big-name players in the free market have also found new homes one after another.

The Nuggets acquired Nets power forward Kenyon Martin through a sign-and-trade, and the Nets received three future first-round draft picks from the Nuggets.

Power forward McDyess, who has potential injuries, joined the Pistons for 23 million in four years to replace Okur, who left. The Pistons also renewed Rasheed Wallace's contract for 57 million in five years.

Wang Zhizhi renewed his contract with the Celtics for 30 million in 6 years. Last season, he produced beautiful statistics and reached the peak of his life. The Green Army doesn't have many options. They lack inside players, including the 4th and 5th positions. Insiders are also scarce in the free market. Wang Zhizhi is considered a relatively cheap insider in this year's free market because he is strong in offense and weak in defense.

The Warriors re-signed blue-collar big man Adonal Foyle for six years for $42 million. The 76ers signed blue-collar big man Brian Skinner for five years for $25 million. The Nets extended the contract of blue-collar center Jason Collins for 5 years and 25 million.

In order to restrict free agents, the Bucks offered blue-collar insider Edon Thomas a six-year, $37 million premium contract, and the Wizards actually matched it.

Even high jumper Swift signed a five-year, $30 million mid-level contract with the Magic...

Compared with big men who can easily find jobs, the situation for outside players is not so wonderful. Even if Guo Xu leads the team to win the championship and wins a bunch of personal honors, allowing people to see the power of short guards, there are still a group of small guards who can't find jobs after becoming free agents, and they can only sign for a minimum salary.

The reality is so cruel. NBA selections first look at height and physical fitness. There are only a handful of small people who can sign high-paying contracts. Currently, only Guo Xu can win the MVP. This makes him even more valuable.

There was also big news at the end of August. While other teams were trying to sign insider players at a premium, the Lakers were driving high-quality insiders away, which was surprising.

Kobe has done something wrong again...
