Super Lord of the Rings

The big contracts of Larry Hughes, Thomas, Raheem, and Miller expired together, leaving 40 million in salary space.

Wang Jun and James accounted for more than 40 million yuan. The salary cap for the 2010-2011 season was 58.04 million yuan, and the luxury tax threshold was set at 70.3 million US dollars.

After sending away the two middle-class players Garcia and Udri, the Kings are now a bunch of basic salary plus rookies. The only extra is Kevin Martin, who just happens to have an annual salary of tens of millions.

Martin doesn't want to play as a substitute, and the Kings don't have a suitable trade partner for the time being. They want to find a veteran with playoff experience, or change future draft picks to free up salary space.

There are the most "big fish" in the free market this year, and many people are waiting and watching, but there is a choice.

It is impossible for Wade, Bosh, and Anthony to cut their salaries. No matter how good the relationship is, it is useless, so it is impossible to find a superstar, unless they sign first and then pay the luxury tax. And overdraft the future.

Before the uniform team led by Jeff Petri had any good ideas, Celtics manager Ainge called first, requesting a trade.

Ray Allen's contract expired, he was unwilling to renew his contract with the Celtics, and wanted to hit the championship at the end of his career. Angie tried hard to persuade him to no avail, so he had to persuade him to sign first and then change, and Allen agreed.

The Celtics want to sign Ray Allen for 16 million in two years, plus the 2011 first-round pick, in exchange for Martin.

Ray Allen is the oldest of the Big Three. He is now 35 years old. He is about to retire and must hurry up to get a ring.

In the team, Ray Allen doesn't fit in, doesn't like to talk trash, can't take jokes, not only has a normal relationship with Rondo, but also doesn't talk much with Garnett.

When it comes to the Big Three, the media always say that Ray Allen is the worst, and some fans think he is not as good as Rondo, because Rondo can get a triple-double and grab rebounds.

After playing for four years and failing to win the championship, Ray Allen didn't think he owed the Celtics anything, and he would have done his best if he didn't just leave.

However, Ray Allen was also very smart not to mention the conflict with Rondo. If he left the team because he was unhappy with his teammates, it would prove that he was unpopular in the team, and the next family would also suspect that he had a problem with his character.

Of course, Ray Allen is willing to join the Kings, put aside his status as a giant and be a sixth man, there is no pressure, and he may win the championship. He has competed with Wang Jun and James for many years, and he knows how much energy these two people can explode together.

Management unanimously approved the deal without analysis.

Swan immediately called to tell Wang Jun the good news. He was shocked when he heard that Ray Allen was coming.

Wang Jun knows that Ray Allen is not just a pitcher, he can also attack with the ball. If he leads the bench, the offense of the second team is not bad, eight million is not expensive, and it is only two years. , can free up salary space.

Wang Jun called James again.

James shouted: "They brought Ray Allen to the king? Are you kidding me?"

"Why am I joking? The price has been agreed upon. 16 million for two years is not expensive, which is enough respect for him. He wants the championship and asked for a trade."

James laughed: "Does this mean that the four best three-point shooters in the league are already in the Kings? I can't believe it."

Wang Jun, Peja, Ray Allen, and Curry, who scored the most three-pointers last season, aren't they the strongest four? Even Curry, who is the least famous and did not win the three-pointer in the All-Star Weekend, has a scary 43% shooting rate.

James' confidence in winning the championship skyrocketed again. If he can't win the championship like this, he and Wang Jun should find a place to commit suicide together.

"The deal has been finalized in the past few days. I really look forward to the reaction of those people." Wang Jun smiled.

A day later, the Kings and the Celtics reached a deal, Ray Allen and Martin completed the swap, and the Celtics also took a draft pick in order to have equal salary.

Looking at the data, it seems that Martin is better, averaging 23.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1 steal per game. In fact, Martin has never played in the playoffs. Ray Allen is more effective, and once he's hot, he's a superstar.

The media went crazy. Experts predicted that the Lakers' new season would be dangerous, and the difficulty of defending the title would double. The King's current lineup is much stronger than the Celtics last season.

David Stern is crazy too.

What is this for? Form a super three-point team? Veteran All-Star? The enhanced version of the 2004 Lakers?

He still couldn't stop it. The Kings didn't have any illegal transactions, and the veterans voluntarily cut their salaries to join.

In just half a month, so many veterans voted because of the charm of Wang Jun and James' teaming up. Too many people felt that there was a future with them.

This is not over yet, James called someone, and first found "Big Z" Ilgauskas, this old friend immediately expressed his willingness to join the Kings with a basic salary.

Last season, "Big Z" was traded to the Wizards, was immediately waived, and then returned to the Cavaliers to fight side by side with James.

Only one day later, James called another acquaintance, who was even more famous.

Tracy McGrady voluntarily joined the Kings with a basic salary of 1 million U.S. dollars to hit the championship. After playing with the Knicks for half a season, he knew that he could not return to the top and was willing to come off the bench.

McGrady has been in poor condition after surgery in 2009, and his physical fitness has deteriorated, averaging 9.4 points and 3.9 assists per game. His shooting is terrible, and his organizational skills are still there. As long as he doesn't make rough shots, he will be a qualified substitute.

Of course, the king's management will not reject McGrady. His joining can attract many fans.

The commercial value of old stars cannot be reflected in the data. When these people get together, no matter where they go, the game audience is sure to be full.

On July 18, several big-name veterans appeared in Sacramento together, showed their jerseys and accepted interviews.

Peja said: "I believe that the king will win the championship. I am ready. No matter what position I play or how much playing time I get, I will work hard to contribute my strength."

McGrady smiled sleepily: "With James and Wang Jun here, is there any suspense for the championship? We will be the strongest team."

Ray Allen said the simplest: "Everything is for the championship. Some people say that I betrayed the Celtics. I don't think so. I know what I want. Will other people stay in the Celtics until they retire? ?”

Garnett, who was blocked by Ray Allen in the face of media spraying him, couldn't refute.

Yeah, will Garnett stay with the Celtics until he retires? Waiting for someone to come and help the Celtics win the championship, what can he, Pierce, Rondo, and Martin do?

In Garnett's state, even if he wants to stay until retirement, the Celtics may not be willing to renew his contract.

There are still more than two months before the new season, Kings fans can't wait, and the current Kings lineup has been determined.

Centers: Brad Miller, Ilgauskas, Hassan Whiteside.

Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, Taj Gibson, Jerebko.

Small forwards: James, McGrady, Stojakovic.

Shooting guards: Wang Jun, Ray Allen, James Posey.

Point guard: Curry, Bibby, Jason Williams.

Williams, Posey, and Big Z are non-guaranteed contracts, but they will not be cut. The three veterans were called by the stars, and the management will not be so tasteless.

Unless something unexpected happens, these fifteen people will fight in the new season!
