The Godfather of Basketball

Because the Eagles have the qualifications to exchange draft picks next summer, the Nets have no way to go. There is only one way to win in front of them, so this step must be taken.

I have to say that what Billy King built for Tang Tian is indeed super hell-level difficulty.

It has been done and done, but there are still a lot of things that cannot be dealt with.

At this time, there is no good choice, and Tang Tian can only wait for the free market to see.

During this period of time, the negotiations between Jones and the role players went relatively smoothly.

After all, Tang Tian's list was given after his deliberation. They all belong to the kind of players who have some immediate combat power but don't have much market. Even the Nets are a very good choice for them. .

The first to talk down was Etovan Moore.

Moore had few chances to play for the big-bodied Magic last season, averaging only 6 points per game, and has a high probability of being eliminated by the league.

After negotiation, the two parties signed a 2-year minimum salary contract, the team option for the second year, worth 1.96 million, an absolute cabbage price contract.

With the addition of Moore, the Nets have enough manpower at shooting guards.

After Moore, Darius Miller was followed by Darius Miller. Miller is a standard shooter, but he hasn't had much chance to play since being selected by the Pelicans. The Nets basically didn't pay any price. The guaranteed basic salary contract was directly won.

Jordan Crawford performed well in the Celtics last season and had a tendency to become the core of the team, but he lost his position after being traded to the Warriors. Because of defensive problems, his market was poor and he did not receive For any offer, the Nets will accept the one-year base salary without guarantee.

Lavoy Allen (short tank) and Mike Scott (big man who can shoot threes) were also signed one after another.

Finally, Greg Oden, who came back last season and didn't play many games with the Heat, was also signed by the Nets.

This series of signings are small moves, but step by step, the Nets' roster has been filled up.

Although in the eyes of the outside world, this team still looks like a team with a bunch of veterans and leftovers like last season, but Jones can see that Tang Tian is making the team fuller step by step.

The Nets have signed players one after another, and the signings in the free agent market have also burst out one after another.

Anthony signed a five-year maximum salary contract with a total value of more than 120 million U.S. dollars with the Knicks after turning around in the league. It is worth mentioning that this contract comes with a transaction veto right.

Compared with Anthony, Lowry's contract extension is the price of cabbage. A four-year contract of 48 million allows the titan to continue to fight for the Torontonians.

Of course, there is no cheapest, only cheaper. The contract extension between Nowitzki and the Mavericks is 30 million for 3 years. Obviously, there is no py transaction behind this, and there is only the love of the old driver for Dallas.

Pierce signed a one-year, $5.13 million contract with the Wizards, and he will be Washington's new starting small forward.

...

As the signings continued, the number of free agents on the market decreased a little bit, and the free market was coming to an end a little bit, but James, the biggest player, has not made a final decision.

However, some reports about him are emerging one after another, such as Wade can't contact James, James is no longer in Miami and so on. Judging from the intermittent rumors, there seems to be signs of drifting away between James and the Heat.

Finally, at the end of the free market, on July 12th, James published an article in "Sports Illustrated", announcing that he would return to the Cavaliers.

When the news came out, the entire alliance was completely fried!

No one thought that after only two seasons in Miami, he chose to leave!

And even his friend Wade doesn't know anything about it!

After this article was published, James also accepted an exclusive interview with ESPN.

During the interview, he answered a lot of questions.

Why choose to return to the Cavaliers?

Because of his age, he played outside for a few years and found that he was still a Cleveland native.

Why not talk to Wade?

Because he was afraid that Wade would leak the secret, after all, this decision was very difficult, and he didn't want to leak the secret before the final decision.

Does it have anything to do with Tang Tian leaving the Cavaliers?

It doesn't matter, in the past so many years, he has already looked down on the original matter, which was because he and his team failed to handle it well.

Will it bring the Cavaliers a title?

Of course, his return to Cleveland is to return the Cavaliers to the ranks of the dynasty.

...

The Big Three of Irving, James, and Love, and Gilbert's son's magical draw, allowed the Cavaliers to complete the rebuild in just one season, once again becoming the league's frightening new Big Three.

I have to say that Cleveland's feng shui is really good.

Just after James announced his joining, in order to free up signing salary space, the Cavaliers put their starting power forward Yi Jianlian in the past two seasons on the shelves.

In the past two years, due to the intermittent injuries of Paul and Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian got a lot of opportunities to perform. In the past season, his performance reached the peak of his career, averaging 14.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, and 47% of his field goals. The rate is the masterpiece of his career.

Although he left Tang Tian, ​​because he has always had a lot of playing time and shooting rights, his ability has improved a lot compared to his previous life.

But because of the shot selection that has been criticized by others, his trade value has not been very high.

However, after Yi Jianlian was put on the shelves, few people paid attention to it.

In addition to the transaction value, what is even more embarrassing is this point in time.

The free market is coming to an end, and the signings of all teams are almost completed. Yi Jianlian's contract is more than 8 million, whether it is big or small, and the strong team will definitely not be able to afford it. The middle-level teams have already started power forwards. As for the poor Teams are also unwilling to give out draft picks.

Of course, the most important thing is that everyone knows that James is only one salary short of returning to the Cavaliers. The team that is traded will definitely become the target of other teams. No one wants to mess with this.

But Tang Tian is not afraid of this.

The system sent him a female servant before to remind him that if he returned to the host, the effects of the skills he used before would still be there.

In other words, if Yi Jianlian returns to the Nets, he will play better than in his peak season last season.

While there is a certain luxury tax to pay, it doesn't get any better than this.

Jones immediately inquired, and the quotation he got was dumbfounding.

The Cavaliers want to sign James as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble. The asking price is really not high at all. According to the information obtained by the Nets, a mid-second-round pick is enough.

This is in the hands of the Nets.
