Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 538 [The market is open and transactions continue]

At the beginning of July, Wang Jun did not forget to ask Hayes about the tone of the management.

Paxson expressed his willingness to offer Hayes a two-year contract of 5 million yuan, and a player option for the second year. If he plays well, he can jump out.

This is the same as the Bulls signed Sangueira's contract before, but Hayes is a free agent, and it depends on what price other teams offer.

Wang Jun called Hayes to reassure him, thinking that this little guy will definitely stay. Hayes' offense is too bad. What team would go crazy and offer him a high salary to lure him away?

As a result, only one day later, the Rockets offered Hayes a three-year, $10 million contract.

Paxson's plan is not to sign a long-term contract to see if Hayes can develop his shot, and if he can't, he's not worth the high salary.

For a player with no offensive power, no height, and a single role, 10 million in three years is too high, and Hayes was still a rookie last season and only played for half a season.

Hayes wanted to make more money, so he accepted the Rockets' contract. He didn't even hire an agent, and he found a lawyer to handle the matter.

Paxson made a quick decision, decided there was no match, and let Hayes go to the Rockets.

Wang Jun said goodbye to another teammate.

Darius Sangueira, a big man who can shoot, has implemented his contract for next season, and Malik Allen has one year left on his contract. There is no shortage of meat shields in the team. Allen is only worse than Hayes in pick-and-roll defense. He is bigger and slower in lateral movement. The annual salary of 1.8 million next season is very cheap.

Rashard Lewis mainly plays the 4th position, plus Chandler and David Lee, the Bulls have as many as five insiders. This is still the premise that there are no veterans and new aids to join, and the Bulls have no shortage of insiders.

After the Bulls introduced Lewis, other teams also began to make moves one after another, and several big deals appeared as soon as the free market opened.

The Hornets signed Ben Wallace for 54 million in four years.

Big Ben got a big contract as he wished, although it was lower than expected, and the Pistons had no intention of retaining it. For a blue-collar player who has a bad offense, failed free throws, and is still in decline. This contract is simply too high.

The Pistons have been eliminated in the second round of the playoffs for several consecutive years and are ready to rebuild. Letting go of Ben Wallace will be their first step.

The Pistons immediately dug up the Spurs' inside blue-collar Muhammad to make up for the vacancy left by Big Ben.

After getting the big money, the Hornets signed the Kings forward Peja Stojakovic for another 5 years and 64 million.

They were one of the most well-paid teams last season. Sure enough, there was a big move in summer.

The Hornets formed the inside lineup of Ben Wallace, David West, and PJ Brown. The peripheral Paul, Stojakovic, Mason, Bobby Jackson, and Rasu Butler are all strong.

As long as there are no major injuries, the Hornets will definitely have the strength to hit the playoffs next season, and their starting lineup can compete with any team.

The only fly in the ointment is that JR Smith, the team's most physically fit swingman, chose to leave. Join the Nuggets.

The tension between JR and the head coach flared up in his second season, when the Hornets were torn between New Orleans and Oklahoma because of Hurricane Katrina. They haven't talked once in months, and JR's playing time and statistics have dropped significantly, although the team has more Chris Paul.

When Byron Scott refused to let JR play when the Hornets were full of injuries, JR broke the news to the "Pickup Cloud Times" that his head coach was too "arrogant", complained about their lack of communication, and even hoped Teams will trade themselves.

JR roared in an interview: "I am not surprised to be on the bench, because he has become so arrogant that he can't focus on winning but on personal grievances. Now everyone has to do something. I am in this When you can't communicate with your leader, there is a problem. Training comes early and leaves late. It doesn't work, so I don't know what counts. I can't do it anymore What's up, I tried to call him several times, make an appointment to see him, but it didn't work. In all the teams I've been in before, I can be friends with the manager."

As a result, Scott was questioned again. When he was in the Nets, the whole team wanted him to leave, and the object of his suppression was the now famous Wang Jun. Now that JR has been exchanged for a second-round pick by the Nuggets, many media are curious about what level JR will play in the future.

Since JR has the physicality to be a star. Many people are already ready to see Scott's hilarity. Now that the Hornets' lineup can no longer be played, it can only prove that he is not capable.

No matter what the outside world says, the boss of the Hornets is optimistic about Scott and completed the contract extension with him in the summer, as long as he is not fired. Will remain in office until 2009.

The Knicks traded Jamal Crawford for Jerry Stackhouse.

Since Francis joined last season, the Knicks have been overcrowded outside, full of people who need to attack with the ball. Crawford's playing time has decreased, his defense is not good, and he likes to shoot wildly. Thomas decided to trade him for a regular 2.

With the salary of the two being similar, Stackhouse will be suspended for 9 games next season without paying salary. After his comeback, he can also provide the team with the ability to confront the outside line that is currently lacking.

As for poaching Stackhouse, whether the league will be unhappy is not a matter for the Knicks at all.

They can't get worse, and it will be difficult to make the playoffs next season. Stackhouse only has one year left on his contract. If he doesn't renew his contract next season, at least he can free up a lot of salary space and pay less luxury tax. This is Thomas' plan.

The Mavericks are also very happy. They traded for a No. 2 position with good scoring ability, and also dealt with thorns. Their strength has not declined.

The Mavericks also used Daniels to trade the Pacers' shooting power forward Clothier, found a suitable replacement for Nowitzki, and waived Van Horn.

Not too much surprise, Van Horn can retire in basketball at the age of 31.

After the lineup adjustment, the Mavericks will be able to make a comeback next season and hit the championship.

The Clippers gave Tim Thomas, who played well in the Suns, a four-year, 24 million contract.

Many people were drunk when they saw the news, how could anyone want this bastard? And the contract is so big? The Bulls coach would rather let Sangueira start without him.

Thomas' success has set an example for many players, that is, if you want to make money, you must first find a good agent.

The Clippers had no choice but to be poached by the Lakers.

The Lakers, who have been clamoring for a lack of outside offensive power, gave Radmanovic a five-year contract worth $31 million, and the small forward position was successfully strengthened.

Kobe is very happy about this, thinking that Radmanovich is not inferior to his fellow Stojakovic, they are both excellent big pitchers, and the Lakers will definitely break through in the new season.

The Spurs also have a deal. They got rid of Nesterovic's 6-year 45 million bad contract and traded Matt Bonner and Eric Williams from the Raptors.

Spurs general manager Buford said happily: "I am excited about the joining of Eric and Matt. Matt is a big man with unique outside shooting ability. He will help us expand our offensive space. Eric gave Our extensive veteran experience adds to our depth at the forward position."

After the trade, the Spurs are also the favorites to win next season, and it will not be easy for the Bulls to defend their title.
