Legend of Tomorrow

As soon as the free market opened in July, there were two controversial signings. The protagonists were the Clippers and the Warriors. *WwW

Warriors star point guard Baron Davis chose to give up his last year's annual salary of 17.8 million to become a restricted free agent, and then chose to join the Clippers for 65 million in five years.

What puzzles the fans is that the Warriors did not match the contract and let go of the former star for nothing. They could have renewed Davis, signed first and then traded, or kept Davis with a five-year contract. In this way, the team Something can be gained.

Warriors coach Woodson said in a phone interview: I was surprised. I thought the amount of the contract he had to give up was so huge that it was unlikely that he would get out of the contract. He must have changed his mind or something else happened. , but that’s business.”

Kobe Bryant, who was participating in the Olympic training camp, was in trouble. As soon as he joined the Warriors, Davis and Murphy left the team one after another. Some experts believe that it is directly related to him. He and Davis had a conflict over the ball rights last season.

Davis's idea is to join Brand. It seems promising to form a dual-core team with one inside and one outside. The team also has Michael Beasley, the No. 2 pick who is killing everyone in NAA.

However, Brand also jumped out of the last year of his contract. He told his boss to sign in the free market first and then negotiate a contract extension. After the Clippers acquired Davis, they offered Brand a five-year, 70 million contract. The reason was that Brand was injured last season and his status was questionable.

The Captain was furious, and the Clippers subsequently increased the contract to 75 million, and then 81 million, but Brand had already decided to leave, and he accepted the Warriors' retaliatory five-year, 90 million contract.

The player the Warriors most wanted was Wizards point guard Gilbert Arenas. However, the Wizards offered Arenas a six-year maximum salary contract totaling US$11.1 billion. The Warriors' plan to poach Arenas basically went bankrupt. I have to say that the Warriors manager is very imaginative. The scene between Arenas and Kobe is so beautiful. He would probably point a gun at Kobe's head in the locker room...

The Warriors turned to Brand to strengthen the interior. He can play power forward or play small ball tactics with Al Harrington. The Warriors' No. 1 position has become very weak, and the remaining Barbosa is not an organizer.

After seeing the news, Davis was so angry that he vomited blood and felt as if his guts had been stabbed. In an interview, he said that he had broken off relations with Brand and gave a malicious curse: Let's see, he will soon find out about the Canadian contract to join. The Warriors are not as good as expected, and he is the one who takes the blame for the loss.

The Clippers subsequently traded All-Defensive Team center Marcus Camby from the Nuggets to reinforce the interior, at the cost of only a second-round pick and a trade exception.

Many fans exclaimed that this was a free gift to the Clippers star center.

But the Nuggets management did not hesitate at all. They knew very well that this was a seemingly excellent defensive brush and could not be replaced by a strong man. The Nuggets think Camby's salary is too high next season and want to throw him out to free up salary space. It's not worth paying the luxury tax for such a person.

The Suns have had many players leave the team. They failed to defend their title last season and still had many teams poaching them.

Eddie Jones, Collis Williams, and Shamond Williams retired directly.

The Cavaliers do not have Ben Wallace's huge contract and have salary space. They poached Brazilian actor Anderson Varejao for 40 million in 5 years. This contract is similar to the one Varejao signed with the Cavaliers in his previous life. His statistics are average, but he has rich playoff experience and has three championship rings.

Tim Thomas joined the Bobcats for 15 million per year, and the contract is a bit premium. He is strong offensively and weak defensively. The Bobcats lack a power forward and often use Gerald Wallace as a guest at the 4th position. This reinforcement is beneficial to the team.

Anthony Parker jumped out of the third year of his contract, and the Raptors offered 2 million for four years to poach him. He has accurate three-pointers, and can also break through and pass with the ball. He is a little older, but the Raptors believe he is still in good condition. If I can maintain it for a few years, I want to achieve results next season.

Of course, the Suns management will not match this kind of contract, allowing Grant Hill to play no worse than Parker at the position, but he barely shoots three-pointers.

The Hornets offered 2-year-old Lagar Bell an annual salary of 2 million for four years to strengthen the weakest No. 2 position, which was previously played by Rasu Butler. They want experienced players.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Hornets dug Green Army swingman James Posey. Posey, who is 20cm tall, prefers to play small forward. There are too many tall small forwards in the team, so they dug Bell instead.

A player's value will increase after winning a championship. Posey did not win the championship with the Heat. In the Celtics, he only reached the Eastern Conference Finals with the team and had average statistics. Without his outstanding performance in defending against Kobe Bryant in the finals, it would be impossible to sign a mid-level contract.

This is actually a bargain for the Rockets. They paid 4 million for Posey in two years to serve as Prince's substitute. Posey's purpose is to compete for the championship. He played for the Rockets for one season before, so the two sides are relatively familiar with each other.

The Suns' first pick directly selected a rookie shooting guard from the summer league, an undrafted rookie named Anthony Morrow, who was 1.96 meters tall and weighed 95 kilograms.

Morrow averaged 14 points and 4 rebounds per game in his fourth year of college and was selected to the Atlantic Coast Conference All-NBA Team. However, he was a 2-year-old rookie and no one cared about him. He is indeed the second-round candidate provided by Guo Xu to Brian Colangelo. If the team misses Dragic, they will choose him because he is good at shooting three-pointers.

Brian invited Morrow to represent the Suns in the summer league. After playing, he signed a two-year minimum salary contract with him. The second year was a team option, giving him the treatment of several rookies after the second round.

Morrow's performance in the summer league was very eye-catching. He averaged 227 points per game and became the vp of the Utah Division. He made 446 three-pointers and averaged 28 goals per game.

The second pick was still a swingman. The team took away three and needed to make up for three, and they chose Gerald Green.

Green's situation was much worse than Guo Xu's previous life. He played for a total of three seasons and changed four teams. He still couldn't find a feeling for the game. In his best season, he averaged 51 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist per game.

Green's physical fitness is top-notch, his jumping ability exceeds that of Vince Carter, his head exceeds the frame when he dunks, and his limit bounce is 117.

He was once known as the Nine-finger Dunk King. When he was a child, Green made a bet with his friends to touch the top edge of the door. When Green touched the top edge, the ring he was wearing got caught on the nail on the door, and he eventually had the second finger of his ring finger amputated. section above. In addition, Green was also known as Texas' top shooter and Tracy McGrady II when he was in college. He is also very fast and has a shooting range beyond the three-point line.

Green's poor performance is due to his poor team awareness and unstable shooting. The Suns don't need his strong awareness. He can just come up and charge during a quick counterattack.

Guo Xu was deeply impressed by him. In 2018, the 2-year-old Green's head was still flat when he dunked. Now, at the age of 22, he has the body of an animal and is very suitable for the city of alley-oops.

The Suns' third pick was even more unusual. They selected a player from the Harlem basketball team named Jamario Moon. He is 27 years old, 20 tall and weighs 9 kilograms.

Moon had never participated in the NBA draft or played in NAA. He was still struggling in the minor leagues half a year ago, earning up to 1,000 yuan per week. After the summer league, Guo Xu named him and signed him to the team. He is also a physical expert, capable of fast breaks and dunks, just like Green.

As long as Roy is not injured, he will definitely be at the No. 2 position. The substitutes the Suns are looking for are all good at running and jumping. They only need fast breaks and defense, and will not have a lot of ball rights. It is right to find someone with good physical fitness.

The Suns' fourth pick was a two-year contract extension with Polish hammer Gortat, who is also a jumping man.

Apparently, they’re going to have a dunk team next season…
