Super Lord of the Rings

Wang Jun didn't care about changing the boss. He didn't know the boss well, so he didn't have a good impression of him. As long as he gave money, it didn't matter who was the boss. [Read the full text..]

A day later, Wang Jun couldn't keep his composure.

As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official to take office, and the fire for the new boss is particularly fierce.

The team reached a sign-and-trade agreement with the Denver Nuggets, sending Kenyon Martin, who won the finals mvp, to Denver in exchange for three future first-round picks.

The three draft picks include a first-round pick for the Nuggets themselves, as well as a first-round pick they got from the Los Angeles Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers in previous trades.

After the deal was announced, in order to appease the emotions of Kidd and the fans, President Thorne issued a statement.

"He is a good young player and we wish him success in the near future. This is an extremely difficult decision in the history of the team, the biggest issue is the contract, from the first year's salary to the signing fee for both parties. There are big objections, which may affect us to sign a good free agent. Our current lineup has performed very well in the past few seasons, and our goal is still to fight for the championship."

After Martin won the finals mvp, he wanted a maximum salary, at least a 7-year contract worth more than 90 million US dollars. Denver did not need any adjustments to meet Martin's requirements, and the team was reluctant.

The team management always felt that Martin was overestimated because of the cooperation of Kidd to play good numbers, and he was not worth such a high contract.

But letting Martin go, it is very difficult to find an inside line that fits the team system and can attack and defend well. There is no suitable replacement in the free market.

What the team got in exchange for three future draft picks is still protected.

This look is to save money, God knows what role can be selected.

After getting Martin, the Nuggets have formed one of the most powerful inside combinations in the league. Martin will be at the power forward position, while Anthony and Camby will be at the small forward and center positions respectively. In addition, the Nuggets may also be in the Let Nene start at the center position. Camby served as a substitute.

The Nuggets changed from the bottom team in the West to a popular powerhouse.

The team's more brain-dead trades are behind. Just two days later, Thorn traded shooting guard Kittles to the Clippers for a future second-round pick.

The Clippers originally wanted to recruit Kobe with a high salary, but the Lakers kept Kobe and traded O'Neal. The fast boat is good to choose another target. Changing a draft pick to Kittles made a lot of money.

Coach Dunleavy was so happy from ear to ear,

The Clippers immediately announced the abandonment of guard Quentin Richardson, ready to do a big job in the new season.

Team fans were furious, and countless people posted on the Internet calling the new boss Bruce? Ratner inhuman.

"The hero who won the championship, Kittles who dedicated his 7 years of youth to the basketball team. He just changed a second-round pick! Is the boss brain-dead or brain-dead?"

"Kidd should consider leaving the team. The lineup wasn't very good, and now it's even worse. What's the future?"

"Is this going to create a miracle that the defending champion misses the playoffs?"

"I'm very curious who will leave the team next. If Jefferson is also traded away, it will be completely hopeless."

After the team sent away the two main players, they signed with free agents Jacqui Vaughn and Rodney Buford.

Vaughan is 185 tall and weighs 86 kilograms. He was the Hawks' backup point guard last season, averaging 3.8 points and 2.7 assists per game. The shooting is terrible and can only be driven. He is characterized by a relatively strong body and can play a role in defense.

Buford was a marginal player for the Kings last season, with a height of 196 and a weight of 86 kg, averaging 1.9 points and 0.7 rebounds per game. The introduction of this guy has no idea what he wants to do, his statistics are very poor, and he is not good at shooting.

In an interview, Thorne said that the signing of these two men was to fill the vacancy left by Kittles and Martin.

The fans are crazy.

Can this Nima fill a claw?

It's like Athena Chu resigned from "A Chinese Journey to the West", and the director said it's okay. Let's find Sister Furong instead. Can the audience not be worried about the Bull Demon King who is going to marry Zixia?

Then, the team refused to offer a contract to Rodney Rodgers, one of the champions of the championship and one of the important rotation players. Rodney signed with the Hornets in free agency.

The important three-point point at the 4th position was let go in vain, and Rodney's request was not good. 3 million is willing to stay.

Lucios Harris played poorly in the playoffs, and the team traded him with the Cavaliers for 203 power forward Eric Williams.

It worked, but Eric and Martin were nowhere near that.

Under the operation of the brain-dead management, the defending champion team fell apart in just one week, and only Jefferson, Wang Jun, and Kidd were left in the team.

Not so long ago. Wang Jun was still immersed in the joy of winning the championship, thinking that there was great hope for defending the title next season, but suddenly he fell into boundless darkness.

He fully understands why people say that the NBA is a business league, and players are like commodities. Who the team uses and what lineup to form are all at the boss's whim.

Players have no sense of security and don't know when they will change teams, even if they don't like where they are going.

Wang Jun called his departing teammates to say goodbye. Rodney, Martin, and Kittles all wished him a good fight and striving to become a star, and he will be an opponent in the future.

"Can you get me that Mustang as a present?" Martin joked.

"Can you change it to something else?"

"Haha, just kidding, that's your token of love. I'm richer than you, and I don't need anything." Martin was in a good mood. With the ring, he was traded to a strong team and received a high salary. perfect.

"The next time we meet, if I face you in a wrong position, don't dunk on my head. I warn you, I am slow in the team. If you can dunk me, I will not be polite as an opponent." Wang Jun smiled.

"How dare you threaten me, I'll kill you then." Martin laughed.

Three days later, another bad news came out.

Kidd has undergone knee repair surgery and will definitely not be able to participate in the new season training camp.

Kidd's knee has been hurting, and conservative treatment is ineffective. After winning the championship, he decided to have surgery, and he couldn't bear the pain to play. He won't return to action until December of this year at the earliest.

At this time, the fans understood why Kidd performed poorly in the playoffs and the team didn't have many fast breaks, and the fans who scolded him began to change their senses.

As a result, the team's strength has declined again, and it will be difficult to defend the title in the new season.

Bruce kept refreshing the lower limit of being stingy and did not grab the big names in the free market. The next signing was the introduction of Serbian center Nenad Kostic, a four-year rookie contract with a total value of 4.9 million U.S. dollars, which arrived in the summer of 2008. Expect.

This 213 big man was selected by the basketball team at No. 24 in the first round in 2002, and he has just entered the NBA now. No one knows how good he is.

After signing for four years, it seems that he is going to use this person for a long time and not sign any more.

So far, the team fans are completely depressed.

The other teams competing for the championship are all strengthening their strengths, but the team is pushing to rebuild. Except for the Bulls where Jordan retired, they have never seen the defending champion go this way. (To be continued.)
