Chapter 274 Pat, I'll say it again, I'm going to New York!
Chapter 274 Pat, I repeat, I'm going to New York!
This deal was finally done, there is no way, after winning the "three consecutive championships", as the most dazzling team in the league, it is normal to be treated like this, within an acceptable range, achieving one's own goals is already considered Great results too.
And now...
Just losing one Hassan Whiteside, you can get Gobert, in Li Wan's view, it is a very profitable thing.Anyway, Whiteside is more serious, even if the future is typed out, it is just a "data brush".
He hasn't proven himself in the playoffs.
I chose him before, just because I could pick up the omissions...
The purpose is similar to selecting Gobert.
According to Li Wan's idea, in the new season, give Gobert more chances to play, help him get more statistics as much as possible, and then use him to exchange for the 14 first-round pick.
13 years is a small year, 14 years is a big year...
Not only are Andrew Wiggins and Embiid, who are eye-catching at first glance, but also Jokic, a big draft pick waiting for him!
In short, Li Wan's idea is to replace "people" with "people", from Whiteside to Gobert, and from Gobert to a higher-level player... While ensuring competitiveness, complete the New York Knicks lineup. The "rejuvenation".
This is also the stage that every super giant who "chooses a city to grow old" must go through.
6 month 25 day.
The day after Donnie Walsh traded for the 26th pick in the first round, the 13 NBA Draft officially arrived.
Li Wan stood in front of the TV punctually, waiting for the start of this "draft year". He couldn't wait to see what the final choice of "Mr. Qiao" who held the number one lottery...
Speaking of Michael Jordan, it was really hard.
In 01, holding the "No. [-] lottery", I ran into Kwame Brown, Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler, the "three high school musketeers". Although it was later proved that these people have survived in the league With their ability, Curry became a "little shark", and Chandler also won the "Defensive Player of the Season Award", but it can also be seen from their careers that they need time to grow.
To put it simply, it is pit next to pit.
Neither is immediate combat power.
From the perspective of "hindsight", Michael Jordan should not choose Kwame Brown, but the three most prestigious high school students at that time...
It seems that whichever he chooses, Jordan can't avoid that pit in the end.
And now...
Li Wan, who already knows the quality of this draft, knows very well that what is placed in front of Michael Jordan is still one pit after another.As far as the few promising rookies in the draft are concerned, except for Oladipo, other players, no matter which one he chooses, will eventually be a big pit.
David Stern soon appeared on the scene. Unlike when he played in the past, this time there were no unanimous boos at the scene, but cheers one after another.
This draft is the last draft hosted by David Stern. At this time next year, the people standing here will become bald-headed jokes.
The fans gave the most sincere applause to the Utah Little Old Man's last draft.
This is New York fans...
Reggie Miller was the same. In the last game against the New York Knicks, he was cheered by more than 2 New York fans.
In this David Stern "retirement battle", New York fans revealed their truest psychology for the league president:
Thank you for being here, NBA has you is the greatest miracle!
Then, David Stern officially began to broadcast the selection results of the teams.
As soon as it came up, it was the "No. [-] pick" that everyone was looking forward to. David Stern took a look at the final result. He was a little surprised, but he still read the name: "The Charlotte Bobcats selected is from the University of Nevada. Anthony Bennett at Las Vegas!"
I'm coming!
Bennett, the "biggest parallel importer" in the NBA, is here!
Wuhu!
Li Wan's eyes lit up "swish". He was looking forward to the extent to which Michael Jordan's draft vision would be "raised" by the media after the start of the new season...
In addition...
Li Wan watched Bennett walk onto the stage, shook hands with David Stern and took a group photo, muttering softly: "It's very important to have a good manager!"
Bennett was not the biggest favorite of the "No. [-] pick" in this draft.
In other words, this year's top five wind reviews and momentum are about the same.
Bennett's rising reputation still depends on his performance in the training camp...
And in the training camp projects, his agent "struggled with reason" to keep all the parts that Bennett is good at, and avoided the parts that Bennett is not good at...
The specific operation is a bit like the later Wiseman agent team.
But Wiseman is an online trial, and the Warriors management is watching it through the screen, which is too good for Wiseman to hide his rough aspects.
Bennett is different. He is an "offline practicer". Under the operation of his agent, he showed his "three abilities and four" characteristics in the training camp.
Jie in the "small ball era" is the embryo of "super giant".
But in fact, Bennett is too slow to play the third position, and too short to play the fourth position. He is simply a "no-nonsense" guy!
And there have been many such guys in the past draft conferences, and without exception, they have all become "parallel imports".
Bennett did not escape this rule...
Speaking of which, "Dream Chaser" Green also fell into the second round for this reason, but he is really not a "parallel importer"!
The Cavaliers, the original "No. [-] pick" winner, chose Otto Porter, a rookie at the third position.
In this way, the Cavaliers can be regarded as a "youth army": Kevin Irving at the first position, Dion Waiters at the second position, Otto Porter at the third position, and "Eight Sages" at the fourth position. king"……
It was also a series of bad performances, and a set of extremely competitive potential lineup was selected, which gave them the bargaining chips to trade better players later, and attracted someone to come back to play "hometown basketball".
"Bitter Mamba" was selected by the Detroit Pistons.
Then, a series of names that Li Wan hardly remembered were reported by David Stern.For a while, Li Wan was a little astonished. Is this really the stage of selecting high picks in the 13 draft?
It wasn't until Trey Burke, chosen by the Timberwolves with the 9th pick in the first round, played that Li Wanfang had an impression. This buddy cosplay Allen Iverson is a must!
Later, when he was about to be unable to play, he relied on cosplay Allen Iverson to attract popularity, and slowly regained his worth.
Then there was another familiar name, CJ McCollum.
The No.11 pick in the first round was Michael Carter-Williams, who "debuted at the peak" and then quickly fell.To say that this name is really exciting!
The No.15 pick in the first round, Li Wan witnessed the historic moment when the "Greek Monster" joined the NBA.
As the "future face" of the NBA, "Brother Antetokounmpo" at this time is still very young, and his body is not that strong... Just looking at him at this time, no one would have imagined that this guy can become a regular season MVP-level star!
Originally, Li Wan also called this guy's attention, but his pick was too high. As for the entire New York Knicks, unless he was sent away, no one would take the first-round pick from the [-]th pick to the top. trade.
After all, Beverly and Danny Green are "fragrant momos" for teams that want to win the championship. For those teams that are rebuilding, they are really useless.Although there are some team general managers who like to hoard this "champion template", they will accept the exchange of draft picks for these people.
It's a pity that there are no Bucks in it, and there are no top [-] picks in the first round.
Li Wan also didn't want to hurt his muscles...
The growth of "Antetokounmpo" is too slow. He averaged 6.8 points per game in the first year, 12.7 points per game in the second year, 16.8 points in the third year, and his rookie contract year in the fourth year. He just averaged 22.9 points per game...
If Li Wan really had to wait for him for two or three years, the day lily would be bright.
The most important thing is that this buddy is not a good person who is willing to be the "second head of the family". He is a typical "American Dream Boy" who comes here for money and status.
Still the same sentence, some people will change their temper and personality if you guide them, and some people will fly away when they should fly no matter how you teach them...
"Brother Antetokounmpo" belongs to this kind of person.
Li Wan thought for a while, and didn't put any effort on him.
Is the "Greek Monster" hanging?
Those who come out to hang out, talk about background, talk about influence...
wait!
When the time comes, I'll beat you into a "little bastard"!
After seeing Gobert put on the New York Knicks cap, Li Wan turned off the TV.Tai Lun just called at this time to discuss with him the specific arrangements for the launch of his first signature shoe released in Plan B.
The "LOGO Creativity" activity of Plan B officially ended a month ago, and Li Wan's first pair of signature shoes is currently designed, and the finished product has also been approved by Li Wan.
The new signature shoes are named:
New era!
A lot of words.
I understand everything I understand.
It was Li Wan's own name. When the designer heard it, his eyes lit up instantly. Obviously, he also thought this name was very suitable for the new sneakers.
Li Wan asked again about the signing of Stephen Curry. Tai Lun said that everything was done, and now he is waiting for July 7, when the sneaker contract between Nike and Stephen Curry expires.
Li Wan nodded, and let Tai Lun handle all these things, and then he had to be busy with the release of new products of PG1 and XL.And around August, he still has to organize the engagement banquet with Taylor, so he will be very busy this summer.
Fortunately, Tai Lun can handle things with confidence.
It's been so many years, no mistakes.
It is worth mentioning that the people from Lanxie approached him and wanted him to lead the team to the Asian Games.
Li Wan refused without hesitation, and directly said: "I will not play in the next Asian Championships or World Championships. As for the next Olympic Games, let's talk about it at that time..."
This answer made Lan Xie a little surprised.
Originally, when they called Li Wan this time, they didn't have much expectation, they just asked as a routine, what if it happens?
Unexpectedly!
Not only did he fail this time, but Li Wan actually postponed the international competitions for the next three years.
Li Wan didn't wait for a response, and hung up the phone directly.
To be honest, he wished that the big earthquake in 2023 would come sooner, and the XJ men's basketball team would quit now!
It's not that they are good things, nor is it that Zhou Qi must not be a good thing, but that China's basketball world needs such an earthquake, just like the wind of change that Ah Tie has in football.
In the next few days, Li Wan concentrated on the special training, but bad news kept coming.
First, Donny Walsh called him and told him that Ray Allen's contract extension was not going well.
Then Vince Carter called him: "Man, I'm thinking about leaving the New York Knicks... Don't get me wrong, Lee, I'm not targeting you, but I want a change of environment. There have been problems with my health, and I wonder if changing places can change this situation."
The NBA has a feng shui saying.There are quite a few people who are superstitious, such as the famous "God of Basketball". He has worn the North Carolina shorts throughout his career because he firmly believes that these shorts can bring him good luck.
In fact, it's not just the NBA. The saying that the richer you are, the more superstitious you are, it's not just a casual talk, especially the degree of superstition of the stars and rich people in GAT is even more exaggerated...
But Vince Carter should have other ideas.
After all, after Li Wan transitioned to the third position, the playing time he could get was greatly reduced... This season, he averaged only 12.3 minutes per game.
As far as Li Wan knows about the second half of Vince Carter's career, his desire to enjoy basketball is much, much greater than his desire for championships.
In other words, this is the arrogance that belongs to Chaoju!
If he didn't win the championship with the main players, he wouldn't want it, so he rejected the Warriors' invitation.
And he came to the New York Knicks because he felt that it would not be a big problem to play the main force with his own ability, so he came.But as a result, two years of intermittent injuries made him the biggest help in the New York Knicks' "two consecutive championships" by waving the towel.
With his personality, it is understandable not to want to live like this again.
"You're right, buddy, and good luck!"
Knowing the real reason for Vince Carter's departure, Li Wan did not keep him, but gave him the utmost respect and recognition.
Only in this way, Donny Walsh will feel uncomfortable.
As early as when he traded the 26th pick in the first round, he felt layers of resistance from other teams in the league. Originally, he thought that when July 7 came, he would first stabilize the current combat power. Let's talk.
As a result, Ray Allen's attitude was unclear, and Vince Carter still wanted to leave...
If these two really left...
On the bench, there are only Cook and Odom on the outside!
Cook's ability ceiling is there, and Odom...
Yesterday, Donny Walsh saw the news that Odom went to a nightclub to be happy and was photographed and reported.As far as the attitude of life in this game is concerned, you tell him that this guy can support the New York Knicks' bench in the new season?
It is also for this reason that Donny Walsh directly said in his last phone call to Li Wan before July 7: "Man, we may need a big change!"
"I may have to send Odom and some others away..."
Li Wan did not refuse.
He also saw Odom's attitude. He can only say that after winning the "three consecutive championships", this guy is now focusing on women.Moreover, he is already 34 years old. As far as his past life of prodigal life is concerned, Li Wan estimates that even if he wants to "turn the prodigal son back", there is no way to "turn the prodigal son back".
God's opportunities to correct mistakes are limited after all!
With Li Wan's relief, Donny Walsh was no longer so tense.
Vince Carter's contract is 5 million dollars, Odom's contract is also 5 million dollars, plus Ray Allen's contract expires to release 1200 million dollars, a total of 2200 million dollars.
Then the New York Knicks lineup salary will become:
Li Wan: 1830 million;
Beverly: 800 million;
Tyson Chandler: 1400 million;
Dai Quinn Cook: 300 million;
Kwame Brown: 700 million;
Humphries: 500 million;
……
A total of 5530.
It looks very optimistic, and it didn't even reach the league salary cap of 5867.9 million.
But actually...
Danny Green's contract expires and is waiting for a contract extension.
Kevin Garnett also has a one-year contract, but it is a player option. Donnie Walsh has not discussed this with Kevin Garnett yet. If he announces the implementation of the second-year contract , then the salary of the New York Knicks for the new season will soar another 1500 million!
At that time, the team's salary will also soar to more than 7 million, and the luxury tax will be triggered.
This is why Donnie Walsh would take the initiative to mention the big deal to Li Wan.
If you don't replace some players, the New York Knicks will not be able to complete any effective reinforcement at all.
Of course, similarly, Li Wan also knew this, and just agreed to Donny Walsh's deal.
August 7th finally arrived.
Receiving Li Wan's resignation, Donnie Walsh immediately put Odom and Vince Carter on the "shelf". Of course, he respected the latter and asked what he wanted Go to the team.
Both of them have expiring contracts in the new season. For those teams who want to fight in the summer of 2014, they are still very attractive-don't forget, next summer, players like LeBron James, Wayne Germany, especially Li Wan, all expired their contracts and entered the free market. It must be a feast!
So soon Donny Walsh received some offers, but he didn't rush to make a decision. Instead, he put Humphries on the shelf and continued to add chips to his hands.
Three days passed in a flash.
It's calm before the storm.
The crazy summer of 14 is approaching, and there are not many big deals in this year's free market.
The teams that currently operate the most are renewing or buying out the contracts with the players in the team.
Donny Walsh received a call from Li Wan at this time. He has not been idle these days, and he is also looking for loopholes that can be strengthened. It really made him find a target: "Dude, try to make Sean - Sign Livingston!"
Sean Livingston?
Donnie Walsh froze for a moment, and then remembered the ill-fated genius No. [-].
Is he still in this alliance?
Donnie Walsh hurriedly searched for information about Livingston. Last season, he joined the Wizards with a basic salary contract. He played a total of 17 games. He averaged 17.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in 2.2 minutes per game. Not great, but Donnie Walsh called Livingston's agent without hesitation.
The reason is simple, Li Wan thinks he can do it, so he can do it!
A basic salary contract of 75 knives is easily settled.
The New York Knicks officially completed their first signing of the season.
At the same time, Plan B also launched the first pair of Li Wan's personal signature shoes after Li Wan founded this sub-brand: New Era.Then the official announced the signing of Stephen Curry for 3 million in three years and became the spokesperson of "Plan B".
This news has caused a lot of discussion...
The reason is also very simple, this is Li Wan's brand.
Given his high traffic volume, anyone who is connected with him will receive intense attention.Many media are already "looking forward" to the performance of Stephen Curry, the spokesperson of "Plan B" in the new season!
They really want to know whether Li Wan's vision is "similar to Michael Jordan's".
When Michael Jordan saw these news, he laughed, wait, wait and see how Anthony Bennett smashes your faces!
Stephen Curry called Li Wan that night. Although he entered the All-Star Weekend last season, he was still a little uncomfortable with the current attention.
Li Wan said with a smile: "Dude, you have to learn to adapt to these pressures, because you will eventually stand on a bigger stage! All you have to do is believe in yourself, you may be much stronger than you think!"
It can only be said that Li Wan knows how to comfort others.
Or in Stephen Curry's ears, Li Wan's words can be inspiring.
Anyway, before the call hung up, Stephen Curry regained his confidence.
Then Li Wan gave Danny Green a 2-year, 200 million sneaker endorsement contract as agreed with him.Let the number of endorsement players of Plan B come to 2.
In the next week, Li Wan finished his one-month special training and began to work on the release of new products of his personal brand.
Meanwhile, the New York Knicks completed their second deal.
They signed O'Neal, who took the initiative to vote, with a basic salary.
Such a veteran is definitely a good supplement for the New York Knicks. On the one hand, the salary is not expensive. On the other hand, he may be able to succeed in the "lottery", just like the renewal of Rasheed Wallace with the basic salary at that time. , the result came in handy in the finals.
Now 39 years old, Rasheed Wallace can't be moved at all, but this tradition cannot be broken, and Jermaine O'Neal just filled the vacancy.
In fact, before Jermaine O'Neal took the initiative to vote, some veterans had already approached Donnie Walsh.
Li Wan was quite surprised when he heard the news.
That person is none other than the famous Tracy McGrady.
But Li Wan refused.
Although the New York Knicks have helped many veterans realize their dreams in the past two years, and the market is getting better and better now, more and more veterans are not actively investing, but...
You have some immediate combat power anyway, right?
Just like McGrady, waving a white towel in front of the bench, Li Wan thought he wasn't awake.
How does this make him sign?
Can't sign, you know?
This is the "Veteran's Dream Center", but it's not a "recycle bin", and...
If he fails to win the championship by then, won't he also become a player who McGrady said is "holding back" and "not as good as Ibaka"?
After signing O'Neal, Donnie Walsh quickly settled Danny Green's contract with rookie Gobert.The former gave a 2-year contract extension of 1 million yuan, while the latter is a common "3 plus 1" contract for rookies, with a standard contract for the first three years and a team option for the last year, totaling 4 million for 323 years.
Ok……
The contract at the end of the first round of cranes is so miserable, not much different from the basic salary contract.
After negotiating the contracts of these people, the New York Knicks lineup for the new season has become:
"One position: Beverly, Livingston;
Second position: Danny Green, Vince Carter, Cook;
Position [-]: Li Wan, Lamar Odom;
Fourth position: Kwame Brown, Chris Humphries, Jermaine O'Neal;
Fifth position: Tyson Chandler, Gobert;”
Among them, Vince Carter, Odom and Humphries are all on the shelves, and they will also decide what the result of the reinforcement of the New York Knicks this season will be.
Since everything was going much smoother than expected, Donnie Walsh wanted to discuss with Kevin Garnett, let him jump out of the contract early and renew the contract early.
"If you agree, Kevin, I can give you a four-year contract with a starting salary of 750 million!"
Kevin Garnett is currently 37 years old. If he signs this 4-year contract, it means that Kevin Garnett is 41 years old and can still get an annual salary of about 1000 million.
In Downey Walsh's view, this contract is generous enough and sincere enough.
Originally, he thought that Kevin Garnett would definitely agree, but in the end...
"I'd better execute the contract for next year..."
Kevin Garnett declined.
Donny Walsh angrily told Li Wan the whole thing.
Li Wan was not surprised.
Kevin Garnett and Irving are typical black people, the kind who are extremely selfish and can't afford to suffer at all.
Later, Irving was sent away because the Nets management finalized the attendance rate when negotiating the new contract with him. Only when he played enough games can he get the corresponding salary. A lot of things, it is said that this request is not too much, but Irving refused, thinking that he was not respected, and asked the team to send him away immediately.
The phrase "Cai Chongxin has so much money in his safe, what's wrong with giving me a contract worth [-] million yuan?" was really not just casually, but what he really thought: Since you are so rich, what's wrong with giving me something?
Kevin Garnett did the same later. He raised money to buy a team from the Timberwolves owner, but they didn't agree, so he scolded him like hell, saying that he was emotionless and impure.Finally asked why, only to find that Kevin Garnett bid several hundred million less than others.But Kevin Garnett didn't think he was wrong at all, and said without shame: "What's wrong with him making a few hundred million less? Selling the team to me is the most correct choice!"
And one of the most quintessential black archetypes, the perfect embodiment of the refined egoist, that name…
I know everything!
It is normal for the "Wolf King" to refuse.
Maybe he was too angry because of being disgusted. Donnie Walsh finally tested Li Wan's tone, whether he could put Kevin Garnett on the trading list.
Li Wan didn't bite to death, but just hinted that if you can find a fourth position at the same level as Kevin Garnett, then all deals are feasible.
Yes, Li Wan didn't have much resistance to sending Kevin Garnett away.
He knows exactly who in this team has sacrificed for the team.
Li Wan was very happy with Kevin Garnett's passionate actions in the finals; but Li Wan is very unhappy with his current mentality of not taking any losses...
Moreover, if we really want to say that Kevin Garnett's passion in the finals was for the team, he must also be fighting for himself. Wasn't he just for this championship ring and asked to join the New York Knicks? Sri Lanka's?
An angry Donnie Walsh also thought of the details of when Kevin Garnett joined at the time. If he had greeted him in advance, he wouldn't have given Billy King the second round of next year. sign.
This wasn't the first time this guy thought about himself!
The more he thought about it, the more angry Donny Walsh really started to inquire about the news of the fourth position of other teams in the league.Check out the possibility of a deal...
It was also at this time that the Miami media reported:
Chris Bosh wants to leave Miami!
One stone caused a thousand waves. As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many teams in the league.
Although Chris Bosh has been "pull" with the Heat for three years, his sacrifice for the Heat has also been seen by many experts in the league. In their opinion, if Chris Bosh is given an offensive With enough tactical status at the end, he can still reproduce the style of "Dragon King".
After all, his ability is very suitable for the "small ball era"!
After Donny Walsh got the news, he immediately contacted Li Wan: "If there is a chance to get Chris Bosh...shall we give it a try?"
Li Wan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Chris Bosh, the best "second-in-chief" candidate in the "small ball era", and he is only 29 years old, is in the prime of life, if he can be obtained...
Not only the team is younger, but also the competitiveness of the team can be guaranteed.
between……
You must know that although Li Wan's original idea was to give up the new season and not win the "four consecutive championships", it was a last resort. If he really had the opportunity to continue to win the "four consecutive championships", would he not take it?
how can that be possible?
And now, if Chris Bosh can be brought over, let alone the "four consecutive championships", Li Wan has confidence in the "five consecutive championships" and "six consecutive championships"!
Moreover, this wave of operations is still feasible.
Li Wan is very clear that this season Chris Bosh can choose to jump out of the contract and join other teams as a free agent. Which team to go to, I am afraid that the Heat will have to send him to which team...
In other words, what needs to be done now is how to get Chris Bosh to agree to join the New York Knicks!
On flickering...
No!
On the ability to communicate...
Sorry, in Li Wan's view, everyone else is rubbish.
And he knows exactly what Chris Bosh wants in his heart!
This wave...
It's done!
He immediately found Chris Bosh's phone number and called the latter.When Chris Bosh received the call, he was a little bit surprised. He really didn't expect that Li Wan would call him.
"Man, come to New York, where you'll find everything you lost!"
Li Wan went straight to the point, so simple and rude that it made Chris Bosh breathe a little harder.
No wonder Taylor was so excited right away!
Chris Bosh also understands...
He is now the same as Taylor at that time. Li Wancai said a word, and his head was already dizzy!
But there is no way, who let Li Wan say it directly to his heart?
Three years...
Three years!
God knows how he got here in the past three years!
He is leaving Miami now not to prove how great he is, but to prove that he can get back what he lost...
The "Dragon King" of the North!
Seventh on the regular season MVP list!
Enough to make a fledgling rookie head coach win the "Best Rookie" leadership ability!
These things that have been forgotten by this alliance, just like what Li Wan said, he wants to get back...
Li Wan noticed Chris Bosh's reaction and continued to pursue the victory: "We have already worked out the offensive tactics for you. D'Antoni watched a lot of previous Raptors games for this. Man, I have to say, you It's really too strong, and it really shouldn't be wasted like that!"
Chris Bosh's breathing became heavier.
"If you are not at ease, you can also implement the last year of the Heat's contract, so that even if the New York Knicks are not suitable for you, you can regain your freedom next summer and find a team that is more suitable for you. We accept this Conditions, because we believe...you will never regret coming to the New York Knicks!"
After Chris Bosh said these words, he couldn't help but said: "Man, if you change careers, you will definitely be the best negotiator. I admit, you convinced me!"
"Heh~ That's because you know, Chris, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart!"
Li Wan said a few more words to him, then hung up the phone first, the light in his eyes became more obvious.
Get it!
Three paragraphs, let Chris Bosh join the New York Knicks.
Donnie Walsh was very excited when he heard the news, and then he suddenly said: "Lee, let me tell you another piece of good news. Paul Pierce's agent just contacted us and is willing to join the New York Knicks!"
Li Wan:! ! !
Good guy!
Really good news!
Li Wan's eyes became brighter.
Chris Bosh and Paul Pierce, this lineup reinforcement is great. It not only makes the core lineup younger, but also solves many of the team's lineup problems.
For example, the problem that occurred in this year's finals: the lack of ball-handling singles on the outside.
Li Wan also has this consideration in picking on Livingston.
This kid is very capable of post-up singles!
But if compared with Paul Pierce, it is really a sky, a place.
More importantly, Paul Pierce has not yet won the championship, he must be very eager for the championship, coupled with Chris Bosh who is eager to prove himself, needless to say, the team atmosphere in the new season will be very positive.
So it seems...
Reinforcement is not a very difficult thing!
Isn't this three times, five times and two divisions solved?
As expected of me!
Li Wan felt that there was no challenge, and Donnie Walsh was also lamenting that the work of "exchanging blood" seemed complicated, but it didn't seem too difficult to execute it!
Just messing around like this, a new competitive lineup will come out immediately...
Thanks to Li Wan!
Of course, Donny Walsh is also very clear that it can go so smoothly, thanks to Li Wan.
Jr. O'Neal must have come for him, Paul Pierce also came for him, not to mention Chris Bosh, it was only because of his persuasion that he was willing to come...
He suddenly felt that the joint sanctions of other general managers in the league were so ridiculous...
If you put that "lion's big mouth", it will indeed make it difficult for me to make a deal, but you can't hold back these free agents, stick it to the New York Knicks!
The New York Knicks have good news frequently, and another deal in the free trade market caught Li Wan's attention.
Iguodala, who was traded to the Grizzlies last year, his contract expired this summer, and he joined the Warriors with a sign-and-trade for 4 years and 4400 million.The future Warriors "Five of Death" are officially here!
It's just that this deal has attracted some attention, but no media thinks that Iguodala's joining can bring any qualitative changes to the Warriors.
Well, there's nothing wrong with saying that, because it was Steve Kerr who transformed this franchise.
He put "Dream Chaser" Green on the starting list, which is the most critical part of the Warriors' rise.Andre Iguodala just fulfilled his ability as the "extreme second-in-command"...
However, there is another reason that the discussion of this deal did not last too long, that is, the New York Knicks officially reached a deal with the Nets: After renewing Paul Pierce, he was sent to the New York Knicks in exchange for Odom.
After this transaction happened, it directly shocked the entire league.
Not only is the popularity of this transaction the largest in the entire transaction market.
It is also because of this deal that the New York Knicks have returned to the top of the team with the highest probability of winning the new season.
In addition...
The "Boston Big Three" joined the New York Knicks successively, which also aroused eager discussions among fans.They believe that this will definitely become one of the most classic stories in the NBA.
"I really didn't expect that the Boston Big Three would realize their dreams like this!"
"Obviously Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett demonstrated to Paul Pierce that the most correct way for a veteran to realize his dream!"
"Rajon Rondo: What do you three old guys owe me here?"
"Won't Rajon Rondo come to the New York Knicks next year?"
……
All kinds of ridicules on the Internet, and at the same time, Chris Bosh, accompanied by his agent, also officially had a showdown with Pat Riley: I am going to New York.
Pat Riley was a bit surprised.
Chris Bosh wanted to leave this matter, and he could feel it when he first talked to Chris Bosh's agent about the future.But he really didn't think that Bosh had already thought about his next home.
And it's New York!
What good bargaining chips can be exchanged for that place?
Pat Riley didn't have too strong feelings of retention for Chris Bosh's departure, but his original idea was to let Chris Bosh burn the last fire for the rebuilding of the Heat...
If the superstar can't be exchanged, then it's okay to exchange for some useful bargaining chips!
Therefore, the New York Knicks are definitely not in his consideration.
Chris Bosh just wanted to go to New York...
This Nima.
Cursed secretly in his heart, but Pat Riley still had a calm smile on the surface, trying his best to appease Chris Bosh. At the same time, he quietly added some "brainwashing" words, trying to pass this Way to change Chris Bosh's mind.
But he really didn't expect that Chris Bosh's attitude was so firm, and he didn't give him a chance to communicate at all. In the end, he directly and firmly interrupted what he was still saying:
"Pat, I'll say it again, I'm going to New York!"
"Otherwise... I will directly jump out of the contract!"
