The Godfather of Basketball

According to Woj's follow-up report, if Durant renews his contract with a maximum salary, the starting salary he can get in the contract is more than 36 million, while the 1+1 contract is only more than 30 million. The extra 5.3 million is for Cousin Prepared for contract renewal.

Shams followed up with reports that Cousins ​​didn't receive any offers before signing with the Warriors.

Woj later also reported that it was the Warriors who Cousins ​​took the initiative to contact.

This continuous report stirred up waves for a while.

Cousins' Achilles tendon reimbursement last season cast a shadow over his free market in the summer, because not many players can recover from this injury, which also caused many teams to be discouraged from the All-Star center.

It is estimated that Cousins ​​​​will definitely not accept the low price, and he dare not accept the high price. This may be the reason why there is no offer.

But no one thought that Cousins ​​would choose to join the Warriors.

If his Achilles tendon injury does not recover well, it's okay to say, if he recovers well, how can other teams play!

In any case, he is a top insider in the league, and his strength is even more than that of an ordinary All-Star player!

This can be seen from 2K giving him a score above 90!

The Warriors have become the first five-star team in NBA history!

The news of Cousins ​​joining the Warriors shocked the league and made fans feel incredible.

Even those who don't usually watch the NBA, this incident has given them a lot of attention.

"Out of the 5 players with a 2K score, only Green is below 90. How do the other teams really play!"

"The Warriors still lack a rim protector, and then they recruited Cousins... You must know that Cousins ​​can shoot three-pointers, pass the ball and defend, which is simply perfecting the only weakness of the Warriors!"

"I don't think even the Nets need to play anymore. The NBA is really coming to an end!"

...

Many fans expect the league to intervene, but the league has already made itself black because of the previous gambling incident, and it is powerless and unable to intervene in this kind of thing.

Another unexpected result of this incident is that the Nets, which had just won the championship, did not become the target of public criticism. The Warriors, who failed to defend their title, instead became a complete public enemy of the league.

However, many Warriors fans are relatively calm. They still have to wait and see how Cousins ​​recovers from his injury. If the recovery is not as expected, it may not be as good as the original McGee.

Tang Tian didn't react much after knowing this news.

He knew that Cousins ​​joined the Warriors in his previous life, but he passed through shortly after that, and he didn't know what happened afterwards.

But in fact, this is not important. Putting aside Cousins' recovery from injury, the Nets already have the strength to fight the Warriors if they keep Yi Jianlian, let alone possibly win Anthony.

So different from the panic of others, he is relatively calm.

At this time, another major event in the league was about to happen.

James will announce his decision at a later date.

Leonard did not trade to the Lakers, George stayed with the Nets, and Durant renewed his contract with the Warriors. After a series of major events were settled, James was also preparing to announce his decision in advance.

In the betting website, the 76ers are in the first place in the forecast, the Lakers are in the second place, the Knicks are in the third place, and the Thunder are in the fourth place.

Whether it was bought or not, all the attention was on James at the moment.

Now there are two giant teams, the Nets and the Warriors. If James forms another team, counting the Rockets, the league will really turn upside down next season.

In his previous life, James joined the Lakers and started family basketball.

After Cousins ​​announced that he would go to the Warriors, Tang Tian felt that there was a high probability that this event would happen.

So although James' decision has not yet come out, he already knows it in his heart.

Now what he wants to think about may be to get Anthony, and just have a final head-to-head with the Warriors.

In the end, it is because the Warriors will face huge pressure to renew their contract next season. If they beat them again, the Warriors should also disintegrate.

That night, after returning home from team work and playing with her two children, Hathaway suddenly ran in.

"LeBron made his decision."

Compared with the previous two decisions, James was much more straightforward this time, without procrastination or live TV.

Tang Tian asked Aragaki Yui to take the two children to play first, and then left the room with Hathaway.

"Where did he go?" Tang Tian asked unhurriedly.

"Philadelphia." Hathaway said and handed the phone to Tang Tian.

Philadelphia?

76ers?

James didn't go to the Lakers?

Hearing this news, Tang Tian still seemed surprised that history did not repeat itself.

But slowly, he seemed to understand.

There are still some differences between the present and the previous life.

In the previous life, James won the championship with the Cavaliers, but now he has not won the championship after leaving Tang Tian;

James in his previous life had never been to the West, and now James has played for the Suns for half a year;

James in his previous life had no regrets at all. He always emphasized that life is bigger than basketball. Now James still wants to beat him to prove himself;

One more thing, although Philadelphia is not as good as Los Angeles, it is also a well-known big city team in the United States, at least more than Cleveland.

So this decision is actually completely reasonable.

Now the only team in the Eastern Conference that can face the Nets and sign him is the 76ers.

The only team that the Nets lost in the Finals last year was the 76ers. With the addition of James, the two sides really have the strength to fight.

The news of Woj was also released soon. James and the 76ers reached a 4-year 154 million signing contract, of which the fourth year is a player option.

At the same time, the 76ers and the Cavaliers reached a deal. They sent Bayless and the 2020 second-round pick to get Korver from the Cavaliers.

Fultz, Simmons, Covington, James, Saric, Embiid, Korver, the 76ers have also assembled a weakened version of the Samsung lineup.

It's hard for the Lakers fans. They have been waiting for so long before the free agent market, but in the end the expected aircraft carriers didn't take shape, but they flew one after another. In the end, all the baskets were empty.

And shortly after James made this decision, Woj broke the news that the Rockets and Paul reached a 4-year 160 million contract extension.

Nets, 76ers VS Warriors, Rockets.

Coupled with the Celtics who are slowly rising, the pattern of east and west next season is really unprecedented.

The offseason has only started for a while, and while the big news one after another is unstoppable, expectations for the next season are really soaring.

Tang Tian had just read the series of news on his mobile phone, and before he put it down, he received a call from Jones.

Anthony's buyout has been deadlocked and no progress has been made, but the Spurs have made an offer to the Nets. They hope to use Leonard and Danny Green to trade Butler, Yi Jianlian and Colin Sykes pause.
