Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 717 [The Spurs plan to fight the Suns]
No matter how strong the Suns are, there are still teams that want to compete with them and are constantly recruiting players.
For example, teams such as the Spurs, Cavaliers, Hawks, and Mavericks do not want to see the Suns win four consecutive championships and create history.
There are also some teams that have started to rebuild and send away people who don't want to renew their contracts with high salaries. Just like the Suns sent away Josh Howard, they will assist strong teams who want immediate combat effectiveness.
The Bucks sent point guard TJ Ford to the Trail Blazers in exchange for power forward Villanueva and some cash.
The clear winner from this deal is the Trail Blazers. They can examine Ford, who has potential injuries, and if he doesn't play well after one season, they can choose not to renew his contract. It doesn't matter if Villanueva is sent away, there is no room for him in the team.
Milicic has good physical fitness. After two years of practice, he gradually gained confidence, averaging 15.7 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. After the Trail Blazers selected Aldridge second overall, Villanueva's position became very awkward.
The Trail Blazers traded Ford to replace Little Flying Squirrel Damon Stoudemire. The latter chose to take a significant salary cut after the expiration of his big contract and joined the Cavaliers for 10 million in three years.
With Ford, the Trail Blazers can avoid the huge pitfall of trading for Steve Francis. The Blazers in the parallel world have Zach Randolph. They traded Randolph for Channing Frye and Francis in 2007, and then spent 34 million to lay off Francis. It’s hard to figure out what they were thinking. For a Frye?
There are no junk contracts in the Trail Blazers now, so they don't have to waste money, but they don't have Brandon Roy and lack a qualified outside core.
The Bulls traded center Tyson Chandler to the Hornets for P.J. Brown and J.R. Smith.
They still gave away the Boxing Champion. The management felt that Chandler was overpaid and incompetent. However, the Bulls did not recruit Ben Wallace with a high salary because they had no salary space and the team had a high-paid Jason Manager. Chaderson. The purpose of this deal is to clear salary space. Brown's contract expires in one year, so he can make use of it.
The Clippers renewed their contracts with Radmanovic and Cassell. The contracts are not low, but they are high-salary and incompetent. The Lakers did not go to poach the Clippers. After they renewed Caron Butler, they had no salary space and could not poach him. If the Ski Man doesn't come, the Lakers have escaped a disaster.
The Raptors retained Mike James and the Pistons retained center Ben Wallace.
Team Spirit Ben found that no team was willing to offer him a high-paying long-term contract, so he was forced to agree to the Pistons' four-year offer of 48 million. At least he is loved by the fans in the Pistons, and everyone feels that he deserves a lot of credit for winning games.
In fact, in a parallel world,
It doesn't matter if the Pistons don't have big money. In the 2006-07 season, they achieved 53 wins and ranked first in the Eastern Conference. In the 2007-08 season, their record was slightly lower than the Big Three Celtics, with 59 wins and ranked second in the Eastern Conference. They also reached the Eastern Conference Finals consecutively, until the team traded for Iverson and became an underdog.
The Bulls, who poached Ben Wallace with a high salary, were immediately cheated. A year later, in order to get rid of the burden of Ben Wallace, they were even willing to accept the garbage contract of Larry Hughes from the Cavaliers and play a three-back offense from the outside.
Today, Seoul failed to win the championship, his budget was not blown so much, and his destiny has changed.
The 76ers wanted to strengthen Iguodala as the core and traded the star Iverson. Granger's position overlaps with that of Iguodala and Salmons, so leaving him would be useless and he won't be able to play for a few minutes.
The 76ers chose to trade with the Nuggets. The management asked Iverson to provide a list of teams he was willing to play for. Iverson chose the Timberwolves and Nuggets.
The Timberwolves had no chips to impress the 76ers, but the Nuggets were willing to offer Andre Miller, Joe Smith and two first-round picks, and the deal was successfully concluded.
The two draft picks are in line with the 76ers' reconstruction plan. Their main goal next season is to train new players, regardless of record. With Miller here, there will be no one available at the No. 1 position.
The Nuggets got a star guard. After they formed the golden gun, the media blew up a lot. Experts believe that the Nuggets lineup has become very strong, with stars both inside and outside. As long as Nene can return to the state of the previous season, the Nuggets are expected to compete with the Suns next season.
Their lineup is indeed as good as any other team. They have Camby, Nene, and Martin on the inside, and they have rich experience in the playoffs; they have Najera, DeMar Johnson, Kleiza, and Anthony on the forward line, and they have great potential; The defenders include Iverson and Boykins, two small men who are good at breakthroughs and have super offensive power.
The Nuggets also used Howard Eisley and two second-round picks to acquire J.R. Smith from the Bulls to strengthen the weakest No. 2 position. The Bulls have a lot of outside scorers and don't need JR, which is a benefit to the Nuggets. The price they paid was not big, and sending Eisley away was equivalent to cleaning up a garbage contract.
Guo Xu, however, doesn't think the Nuggets are very strong. This team lacks organizers and the team's overall chemical reaction is the key to winning. The golden double guns style ball will definitely not work, just two stars playing alone.
Against the sun? The Nuggets' lineup is no different from the parallel world, and they can't even get past the first round. The Nuggets still lack wing defensive experts. Nene and Martin are better defenders in the paint, but they have glass-like attributes.
In this team, the only person Guo Xu has ever considered being a teammate is JR Smith, and the cost of replacing him is very small. When he was young, Smith was extremely talented, capable of sudden shots, and could be the team's best sixth man. Later, he gave up. There were too many people in the team to train him. How could a nerve knife like Smith compare to Roy, the Yellow Mamba? Don't let him share the ball.
What really made Guo Xu feel threatened was the Spurs. They made a small deal to strengthen the wings, using the No. 29 first-round pick point guard Sergio Rodriguez, and the second-round pick inside Damir- Maketa traded for 76ers edge small forward Danny Granger.
Guo Xuzhen convinced the 76ers management, he is simply a **. Granger did not have much chance to play last season. He only averaged 6 minutes per game. His data looked rubbish, but that was because the 76ers had too many swingmen. He was a high-ranking rookie after all. How could he be given to the Spurs casually? Woolen cloth?
As long as Granger has the right tactical system, he has the potential to become a star. He shoots accurately from mid- to long-range and defends very well. His shortcomings are that he has a poor view of the overall situation and his ability to score points, so he is not suitable to be the boss.
The 76ers management sent Granger to the Spurs in order to strengthen the weakest No. 1 position. Rodriguez is a talented Spanish point guard, known as the Spanish Magician and Spanish Chocolate. They misjudged Granger's potential, and they will definitely regret it in the future.
It is much better for Granger to partner Iguodala than to keep Salmons and Korver. But no one from the 76ers will trade Korver. He shot 42% from three-point range last season and averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game.
Because of Guo Xu, the small ball era has arrived early. Players with a single role like Korver have become very valuable. Many fast-paced teams have begun to vigorously cultivate shooters.
Perhaps in order to muddy the waters in the Western Conference and not want to see the Suns dominate, the Raptors also assisted the Spurs, using Matt Bonner, Eric Williams and a 2009 second-round pick. In exchange for Spurs center Rasu Nesterovich.
This is an assist. Bonner would be a loss just by changing it, let alone adding draft picks? The 30-year-old Nesterovic still has half of his current six-year, $45 million contract.
Finally, the Spurs also signed free agent point guard Speedy Claxton with a minimum salary. He has played for the Spurs and is very fast and can guard Guo Xu.
Next season, the Spurs plan to fight the Suns...
