Chapter 129 Durant Forces The Palace! What A Mess! Everything Is In Chaos! ! (Ask For Automatic Subs
Just like T, NT Tiantuan said.
The NBA free agency and trade market in the summer of 2014 started surprisingly quiet on the first day.
No free agent made his own choice.
No team has started to operate in the trading market.
They all seem to be waiting for Loeb/Ron James to make their final decision.
The entire league seems to be waiting for James to make a decision before carrying out their own operations.
Except for one team.
That's the New York Knicks!
As a new championship team, the Knicks don't care at all which team James will eventually choose to go to.
As for Glenn Grunwald, you James can go wherever you like.
None of my business?
There's only one person he needs to lick right now, and that's Chu Han!
The entire alliance is standing still, but Grunwald is following Chu Han's wishes:
Actively sell Stoudemire and Ryan Anderson to various teams.
The Bully had a second spring during the playoffs last season.
Especially in several games against the Miami Heat and the Spurs, Stoudemire proved that he still has gas in the tank!
Since he still has gas, why shouldn't the Knicks send him away now?
Grunwald's classic deception skills are in full effect!
The top sixth man of the new championship team, the strongest inside substitute in the rotation stage, and a trustworthy warrior in the key rounds of the playoffs!
Stoudemire himself may not know that the team's general manager has given himself so many titles in order to sell him at a high price.
Except for Stoudemire.
Grunwald's approach to marketing Ryan Anderson was much simpler.
Before the Knicks’ large-scale trade, Ryan Anderson was the absolute starter for the Knicks!
22-game winning streak starting power forward, the answer to the No. 4 position on the championship team.
Outside anti-aircraft guns, the most critical puzzle piece inside the projection system!
Really the core of winning the championship!
Can be a starter or a substitute.
Started the game and followed the team to 22 consecutive victories.
As a substitute, help the team win the regular season championship + championship!
Among these titles, which one alone would not make people tremble?
It turns out that all these titles belong to the same person!
How good is this player?
No need to go into too much detail.
One thing to say.
Glenn Grunwald’s marketing angle is absolutely right.
He just made Stoudemire and Anderson crazy about winning the championship.
The biggest contributor to the Knicks' championship is definitely Chu Han. There is no doubt about this.
But, after all, basketball is not a one-person sport.
The rest of the Knicks players can indeed enjoy the excitement of winning the championship.
Many teams aiming to win the championship are really interested in Stoudemire and Anderson.
It’s just that Grunwald’s asking price is outrageous.
If prices could be lowered, the alliance would not be so quiet on the 1st.
But Grunwald had no intention of lowering the price.
He got a taste of the benefits by taking advantage of various transactions last season.
I couldn't accept it for a while and had to lower the price myself.
The whole world thinks that the reason why the No. 1 league is so quiet is because James has not made a decision.
Actually.
The No. 1 league is so quiet, and Grunwald's lions are open, which is also one of the reasons.
No one wants to become a leek harvested by the Knicks management!
That's it, after spending a quiet day on the 1st.
July 2nd, US time.
Finally, some teams couldn't sit still.
The Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets completed a bizarre deal involving draft picks and a head coach.
The Bucks sent away second-round picks in 2015 and 2019 in exchange for Jason Kidd from the Nets.
This may also be the first time in NBA history: a team's coach is worth two second-round picks!
But seriously.
Kidd plays a big role for the Bucks.
Antetokounmpo's ability to grow to MVP level in the future is inseparable from Kidd's training in the next few seasons.
For the Nets.
They are just trying to make up for the gap after being fooled by the Celtics last season.
Lost numerous draft picks in the future.
Only getting a result in the second round of the playoffs made the Nets management very dissatisfied.
KG, PP, Deron, and singles Joe are one year older.
Starting next season, the Brooklyn Nets will only get worse.
Then, they still can’t mess it up!
Because even if they fail, they are still working for the Celtics!
no way.
We can only try to trade back some draft picks from all angles.
Immediately afterwards.
There has been progress in player contract renewals.
The Cleveland Cavaliers took the lead in reaching a contract extension with the team's core point guard Kyrie Irving.
Both parties officially announced each other on Twitter:
Kyrie Irving re-signs with Cavaliers for $90 million over 5 years.
After renewing the contract to keep Irving, the Cavaliers made a three-way trade and sent away Jack in exchange for Boston's air.
This transaction is purely to free up salary space.
Although James' team has not yet contacted Cleveland's management immediately.
But the Cavaliers have begun to take the initiative and make all preparations for James to return home.
Speaking of for James.
In fact, the Miami Heat are also making their final struggle.
They traded for Napier, the 14th draft pick.
Who is this guy?
Speaking of which, Napier has a lot of background.
He was the MOP of the 2014 NCAA Tournament.
The MOP in 2013 is Chu Han!
More importantly, Napier is James's pick.
Pat Riley is the cheapest way to go, Loeb/Lon James is not good.
Trying to get James to stay.
Well, it turns out.
After the Heat lost to the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.
James is already destined to leave.
The Heat's operations have done nothing to keep James.
In addition to the Cavaliers, there are two other teams that may acquire James this summer.
They are-the Golden State Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans!
First of all, the Pelicans reached a contract extension agreement with Carmelo Anthony.
With 120 million in five years, Anthony has finally established a foothold in the Pelicans.
After completing the contract extension with Melo, the Pelicans management high-profile tweeted about James on their official Twitter and posted:
"Your brother is right here, LeBron!"
Obviously.
They have this in mind.
Since James is playing brother basketball in Miami.
Why not come to New Orleans and play some buddy basketball?
We have Anthony here - one of your good brothers.
There are also young talents like Anthony Davis, Jrue Holiday, and Eric Gordon.
Check in with your bags, go straight to the championship, and avoid Chu Han until you reach the finals.
Doesn't this come directly into the bowl?
The New Orleans Pelicans' high-profile attack made them the team closest to winning James.
Of course, just close.
Not taken.
Because the first stop for James' team came to the Golden State Warriors.
Auckland.
The Warriors recruiting team headed by Stephen Curry has shown great enthusiasm.
The Warriors during this period happened to be enjoying the contract bonus of Curry + Thompson.
Especially Stephen Curry.
Due to Curry's recurring injuries during his rookie contract.
As a result, his first contract extension with the Warriors was a very cost-effective contract.
Many fans jokingly call this contract a child labor contract!
Coupled with the skyrocketing NBA salary cap.
Curry's contract is simply the best contract to make room for the Warriors to sign a super giant!
With a little more space, the Warriors can directly take down James without changing the team's core lineup!
"LeB/Lon, we even have room to operate."
Warriors general manager Myers directly criticized James: "We heard that Wen has been stable.
This Kevin is not Kevin Durant.
After all, Durant doesn't want to leave just yet.
Ever since I realized that I could stay in Goose City and continue to create a glorious image of one person, one city.
You only need to replace Westbrook to make yourself stronger.
Durant didn't want to leave.
If you use the players acquired by Westbrook, the effect of matching yourself will not be very good.
It’s not too late to leave~
What poor Durant doesn’t know is:
Detonator has no intention of trading Westbrook!
Their move is just a delaying tactic.
When the season started, Detonator told Durant: No team was willing to offer Westbrook.
Force Dewey to play another season.
At the same time, we will make repairs to the existing lineup.
If he goes straight out of the Western Conference next season, maybe Durant won't want to leave.
This way.
Westbrook doesn’t need to be traded, and Durant doesn’t have to make a fuss.
Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?
In fact, the more important point is:
Detonators don’t want to spend money!
The Knicks look menacing.
James is going to form a super team again.
Even if they spend a lot of money on reinforcements and transactions this summer, the Thunder/Things may not be very successful in the new season.
Rather than taking risks, it is better to wait for a miracle next season!
Poor Du Xiaoshuai.
I'm still dreaming about what kind of new teammate my new Wan Ji can be with.
To be honest, it's not that Durant thinks Westbrook is bad.
Just being good brothers doesn't necessarily mean (bfei) the best match.
Look at James.
You and Wade have played together for 4 seasons, and didn’t they leave in the end?
The brotherhood will still be there, but the championship will be more fragrant.
so.
Who is Kevin, Warriors general manager Myers said?
Who else could it be?
Of course it’s the new king of the Minnesota Timberwolves—Kevin Love!
Love, who had had enough of staying in an extremely cold place like Minnesota, had already begun to think about leaving this miserable place.
In addition, the Timberwolves management is also stupid.
Love really doesn't want to waste his youth for the Timberwolves anymore.
Just change the place and find a management that can do something.
Why can't I even make it to the playoffs?
Yes.
In Love's view, the Timberwolves' failure to make the playoffs is not due to his own fault.
Purely due to the inaction of the Timberwolves management!
Kevin Love is on the verge of leaving the Timberwolves.
All it takes is one team trying to make an offer.
"We can offer David to Kevin, but if he must leave, Minnesota management can't keep him.
David, the warrior
All-star forward David Lee.
In Myers' view, if Love forces the Timberwolves to go to the Timberwolves.
In order to ensure that their losses are minimized, the Timberwolves management is very likely to agree to the Warriors David Lee as the main body, and trade to acquire Love.
"Kevin Love?"
James is very interested in Love.
A big man who can rebound in the paint and shoot three-pointers from the outside.
It simply doesn’t fit James’s needs too well, doesn’t it?
"Of course, if possible...
James jokingly said: "I want another Kevin even more~"
Another Kevin, that is obviously Kevin Durant.
James and Durant have been in close contact after their respective playoff journeys.
He knows very well that KD's current desire to stay and his desire to leave are at a level of 82.
Durant, at least this summer, will not be leaving Oklahoma City.
But, what if?
Therefore, James joked about such a thing.
He looked like he was joking.
In fact, it is a signal to the Warriors management:
Get Durant, I'll be there right away!
Warriors general manager Miles is no fool.
Of course he heard what James meant.
After all, how many true words are said in a joking manner!
It seems that as long as the Warriors management can handle Durant.
James will definitely join the team.
Until then.
The Warriors will form a core lineup of Curry + Thompson + Durant + James.
Why worry about not succeeding in your hegemony?
"I understand, LeBron."
Miles also laughed: "This will take time, at least you have to give me some time to prepare.
"OK, I will wait for your news."
James nodded.
honestly.
If there is no Chu Han.
James feels that he can match two All-Stars at will.
Enough to dominate the entire league.
But due to the emergence of Chu Han.
James was deeply aware.
With only three All-Stars, they may not be able to match Chu Han!
You must build the strongest system around yourself while recruiting enough stars!
Only when the stars and system are fully loaded can it be possible to defeat Chu Han.
This was also the real reason why he had not made a decision yet.
James has been thinking about how to completely defeat Chu Han without giving him any chance of a comeback!
Now.
The plan to completely crush Chu Han has been released.
That is the superstar——Kevin Durant!
In fact, Anthony is also a good spare tire.
But the rest of the Pelicans' positions are really not top-notch enough.
James doesn't have time to grow up with Anthony Davis.
The guard line of Jrue Holiday + Gordon is not at the same level as Curry + Thompson.
What's more, the Warriors still have Iguodala.
If the Warriors management can really trade Curry, Thompson and Iguodala for Durant.
Their starting lineup for the new season will be:
Curry + Thompson + Iguodala + James and Durant!
What is the NBA finale?
This is the NBA finale!
It is worth mentioning that.
James is not just joking like this with Warriors management.
While flying back home to Cleveland.
James and Cavaliers general manager David Griffin also mentioned two Kevin's names.
He almost gave the decision-making power of his final destination to the management of the Cavaliers and Warriors.
Whoever can trade for Kevin Durant will get LeBron/Lon James!
If Durant fails to be acquired, who can eventually trade for Kevin Love.
Anyone can also get LeBron/Ron James.
only.
KD is always the first choice.
Love is just a spare tire!
America.
New York.
Chu Han, who was waiting at home for James to announce his return to Cleveland, noticed something was wrong.
Develop according to the original timeline.
July 12th, US time.
James will announce through "Sports Illustrated" that he will return to Cleveland.
Start your own hometown basketball journey.
But it’s already July 13th!
James still has not made his decision, and there seems to be an undercurrent in the trading market.
Is it possible?
In the summer of 2014, is there really going to be a bombshell that is completely different from the original timeline, and is it going to be lead?
July 14th, US time.
The Heat, which has completely announced that there is no hope, renewed Chris Bosh's contract in advance for 120 million.
Pat Riley is officially out of the race for LeBron James.
That night.
The New Orleans Pelicans officially deleted Art James’ tweet.
It seems.
The Pelicans also wisely withdrew from the battle for James.
Now.
There are only two teams left to compete for James - the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors!
On the American Internet, fans from all walks of life are constantly discussing "Where is James?"
Among them, Oklahoma fans were the most discussed!
After all, the top three players in the NBA are nothing more than Chu Han, James and Durant.
Chu Han is not something Durant can touch.
So KD fans are crazy about joining James' group.
Then.
July 15th, US time.
ESPN exclusively broke the news: Kevin Durant is forcing the Thunder/Things management!
Thunder/Thing fans who were eating melon suddenly discovered:
My house collapsed!
Fans all over the world chanted:
The entire NBA is in chaos!!
