Super Lord of the Rings

The unluckiest team in free agency is the Dallas Mavericks.

They also pursued the Trail Blazers' Wesley Matthews and the Clippers' DeAndre Jordan, and also signed Deron Williams at a low price of 10 million over two years.

Cuban was very happy. The Mavericks failed to pursue Deron in the past, and now his annual salary is only one-quarter of the original. Deron's ability is definitely not only one-quarter of the original, so Cuban understands that he has made money.

But now Deron is just a role player, his defense is still poor, and he can't lead the team to win.

Cuban's good mood only lasted three days, and something even more unfortunate happened. He was tricked by Jordan.

The first person Jordan met was the Mavericks. The Mavericks offered him a four-year, $80 million maximum salary contract with great sincerity. Cuban and Parsons promised him the core position of the team. Jordan was very excited about this time. Very satisfied with the encounter.

Although he subsequently met with the Lakers, Knicks, and Clippers, three days after meeting with the Mavericks, DeAndre Jordan announced that he had reached a verbal agreement with the Mavericks.

At that time, ESPN reported that Jordan chose the Mavericks because the Mavericks were very sincere. Cuban and Parsons recruited him, and even Nowitzki took time off from his travels to communicate with Jordan. The Clippers Somewhat negative.

After Jordan reached an agreement with the Mavericks, the Mavericks reached a verbal agreement with Matthews. The team's signing was so smooth that Cuban was so proud that he violated league regulations during an interview and signed a contract without officially signing it. He publicly talked about Jordan, and was fined $25,000 by the league.

If the Mavericks finally succeeded in signing DeAndre Jordan, the fine would not matter, but what happened next surprised the Mavericks.

On July 9, ESPN broke the news that Jordan intends to return to the Clippers and break his verbal agreement with the Mavericks. The Mavericks were anxious, and Cuban and Parsons rushed to Houston, but the Clippers also sent a luxurious lobby group led by Ballmer, Rivers, Paul, Griffin, and Pierce to Houston for the final round. Fight.

The Clippers blocked Jordan at home, and Jordan did not answer the calls from Cuban and Parsons. When the signing day officially started, Jordan signed the contract and officially returned to the Clippers.

According to Pierce, they stayed at Jordan's house until he made a decision. A large number of reporters swarmed in, but they blocked all the reporters outside, while they enjoyed a happy time inside the house. .

Due to contract renewal violations, the Clippers owner was happily fined $250,000.

Cuban and Parsons were furious.

When asked by reporters, Cuban directly said that he didn't know DeAndre Jordan, while Parsons admitted that DeAndre Jordan couldn't bear the pressure of being a cornerstone player, and it was frustrating and disappointing for him to go back on his word.

It's hard for them to think of a person who can't even shoot free throws as the "cornerstone".

After the "Repentance Gate" incident, Jordan's personal image was seriously damaged and he fired his agent Fagan. Fagan is considered an agent of the Mavericks. He has a good relationship with Cuban. From the beginning, he had planned to bring Jordan to the Mavericks. This is one of the reasons for Jordan's dissatisfaction.

The Mavericks had no choice but to attack others. They signed Yi Jianlian for 5 million a year and signed Dalembert for a low salary of 1.5 million a year.

The Kings made a trade, trading Kooteney Lee to the Hornets for two future second-round picks. This is purely to save money, which can be exchanged for cash in the future. It also saves a year's income and frees up space.

Lee's defense is average and he can barely be considered a 3D player. After Wade comes, it would be a waste for him to stay with the Kings as a marginal player.

With Lee gone, the Kings can also train newcomer Wilcox. The two have similar sizes and playing styles.

Josh Smith signed a contract with the Rockets for 10 million in two years. The second year was a player option. This is the largest contract he can get currently. He joined forces with his friend Howard.

Barbosa joined the Warriors freely with a minimum salary, and now he just wants to play.

The Trail Blazers offered Aminu a four-year, 30 million premium contract, which was too high for a blue-collar guy with poor shooting and who only knew how to defend. The Kings immediately offered the same terms and kept Aminu.

Aminu prefers hanging out with Wang Jun than the Trail Blazers. It's not difficult to choose. One side is just a playoff team, and the Kings are the defending champions. Why not stay when the prices are about the same? Championship rings can't be bought with money.

The management also invited Chris Kaman, who scored 8.6 points and 6.5 rebounds last season. He is a meat shield center and can make mid-range shots on the offensive end. However, he moves too slowly and is poor in pick-and-roll defense. He is enough to be a marginal substitute.

Kaman refused. Even if his condition declined, he still clung to his self-esteem.

He was such a weirdo. He had been Wang Jun's boss in college, and now he was working as a marginalized person under Wang Jun. He felt particularly uncomfortable. Especially after he knew that Wade was joining, he was even more reluctant to go to the Kings.

He never dreamed of winning the championship with Wade. He paranoidly believed that if Wade hadn't drafted him and gone to the Heat, his career would have been completely different.

As a result, Petry contacted another veteran inside player. Amare Stoudemire joined the Kings with a minimum salary. Last season, he averaged 21 minutes per game and scored 11.5 points and 5.6 rebounds.

Soon, the Kings' backup power forward was also confirmed.

David West gave up his last year's annual salary of 12.6 million and entered the free market in order to join a strong team and compete for the championship. He joined the Kings with a base salary of 1.4 million a year.

West has been selected to the All-Star twice, has accurate mid-range shooting and rich experience. He no longer has star power and is fully qualified to be a role player. He averaged 11.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game last season.

Albert Swan tasted the sweetness of the free market last year and proposed to introduce the Rockets abandoned general. The management kept Brooks and signed another Rockets abandoned player, Ishmael Smith, as a fringe player at the No. 1 position with a basic salary.

Ismael is a godlike tramp. He entered the NBA as an undrafted rookie in 2010 and has played for the Rockets, Grizzlies, Warriors, Magic, Bucks, Suns, Thunder, 76ers, and Pelicans. He changed 9 teams in five years, setting a historical record.

He is 183cm tall and weighs 79kg. He has poor confrontation ability and poor defense. His advantage is his good organizational ability and breakthrough ability.

While Wade and Wang Jun can play as a guest at the No. 1 position, he joined just in case, in case of extensive injuries.

Finally, the Kings gave veteran Vince Carter a basic salary.

Carter was in average form last season, and his shooting percentage dropped sharply to less than 40%, but his physical fitness is still very good, and he can still dunk a tomahawk, which is something that many young people cannot do.

Carter doesn't want to retire. As a veteran, he can play a role in the locker room and guide the newcomers. The management is willing to give him time and make money if he recovers next season.

As a famous flying man, half man and half god, Carter can also attract fans, and renewing his contract will serve multiple purposes.

At the end of July, the Kings' 15-man quota has been determined, and there will be no more signees in the preseason. The Kings don't want players who have no strength or special skills. Caron Butler and Rondo wanted to join, but Petry rejected them.

In the new season, the Super Kings have been reorganized, and the lineup can be compared with the 2012-2013 season.

Center: Gobert, Whiteside, Stoudemire.

Power forward: Patterson, West, Covington.

Small forward: Carter, Carroll, Aminu.

Shooting guards: Wang Jun, Wade, Wilcox.

Point guard: Curry, Brooks, Ismail.
