I am so Accurate - Chapter 678
The draft is just a warm-up. The real real thing is the coming free agent market.
The free agent market last year was calm for a year, and this year it has become lively again, and it can even be described as hot.
This year’s free market big fish, and Sun Hao Kobe entered the free market together.
In addition to the three big fishes mentioned earlier, Yao Ming, Howard, and Yi Jianlian, there are also rookies who were not renewed in advance in the 2008 session.
This includes Westbrook of the Thunder, OJ Mayo of the Cavaliers, Kevin Love of the Timberwolves, Brook Lopez of the Nets, and Roy Hibbert of the Lakers.
Just as I said in the draft, the quality of the 08 generation draft is still very high.
In addition to these players, there are also many players who are also worth pursuing before playing, and some super veterans.
When he was playing, Paul, Deron, Brand, Byron Davis, etc.;
There are more veterans of the best this year: Nash, Kidd, Billups, Ray Allen, Garnett, Carter, Andre Miller, etc.;
There are also some very good role players: Fernandez, Hinrich, Courtney Lee, Ariza, Pietrus, etc.;
There are even the 2009 contract that hasn’t expired, but they have already begun to get to the negotiating table ahead of time. The two most typical representatives are Harden and Curry.
Both played super-high-light performances last season, and will not be surprised to get their contract renewed in advance.
But the situation of the two is not the same. Sun Hao left the Warriors, and Curry renewed his contract.
But Harden’s contract renewal prospects have many uncertainties.
All in all, with such a list, there will be many good shows in the free market this year.
Kupchak would solicit Sun Hao’s opinion even in the draft, and the free market plan would naturally not keep Sun Hao secret.
“The first goal we pursue in the free market will be Yao.”
In this sentence, Kupchak did not ask Sun Hao’s attitude, because he knew that Sun Hao would not refuse to be a teammate with Yao Ming.
The fact is true, Sun Hao and Yao Ming are both veterans who have played in this league for more than ten years.
I have never had a chance to cooperate before, and now I finally have such an opportunity, just like Green in the draft, Sun Hao will definitely not take the initiative to refuse.
Even, he is eager.
This is related to his chat with Yao Ming last season, and also to Yao Ming’s current situation.
Long before the free market opened, some problems between Yao Ming and the Wizards were exposed.
Yao Ming’s current situation is similar to Durant after his injury in history.
are all at the end of their peak, and they all have suffered serious injuries, and although Yao Ming’s injuries are relatively minor, the impact of injuries on the inside players is much greater than the outside ones.
So the management of the Wizards is the same as the management of the Warriors, hesitating.
Because Yao Ming’s contract extension will definitely be a maximum salary, and it is a long contract, the Wizards have renewed, and there is a high probability that the big contract will be paid for in the next few years.
But Jordan said in public that the Wizards would renew Yao Ming on more than one occasion.
“Everything Yao has done for the Wizards gives us no reason not to renew him.”
Although Jordan is not the big boss yet, this is also a statement of management.
So the current situation can only be regarded as hesitation at best.
The Wizards will have concerns about renewing Yao Ming, but there is no way not to renew, because Riley precedes them and they will be sprayed to death.
Maybe in the end, it still depends on Yao Ming’s own attitude.
At this stage of his career, Yao Ming’s considerations are definitely a little different from before.
This is why Kupchak dared to say that his first goal is to chase Yao Ming.
As for the injury issue, they have experience dealing with O’Neal first, and the league has no more experience dealing with this kind of big man.
“I will try to chat with Yao.”
Sun Hao is also very active because of desire.
Hearing Sun Hao say this, Kupchak was naturally the happiest.
With Sun Hao coming forward, the possibility of the Lakers signing Yao Ming has risen sharply.
“We are also preparing to sign Rudy Fernandez.”
Then, Kupchak said another person who did not seem to be that important, but was necessary to say.
Fernandez.
Fernandez has also played the starting line because he went to the Cavaliers. He has played in the NBA a lot longer than in history.
But he is not doing well now, because the Cavaliers’ record has not improved all the year round, which is a torture for him.
At the end of last season, he already had a strong idea of going back to Europe to play.
The reason why Kupchak chose Fernandez is also well explained.
The first, of course, is because of Fernandez’s strength.
Fernandez is a rising star in the Spanish basketball circle, and he still has the strength to play the sixth man in the NBA.
Crawford’s performance on the team last season was so bad, and the management is unlikely to keep him.
It makes sense to use Fernandez instead of Crawford.
Second, because of Sun Hao.
Many people know about the relationship between Fernandez and Sun Hao, including the fact that Fernandez is the godfather of Little Beijing, and Kupchak also knows.
So whether it is Yao Ming or Fernandez, Kupchik and the Lakers management want to make Sun Hao more comfortable.
Sun Hao did not refuse this proposal either.
Fernandez’s price-performance ratio is relatively high, even without his reasons, it is very good to be able to sign.
After talking about the two people who have a big relationship with Sun Hao, Kupchik said it quickly.
And the next more important content, the most important thing is the relationship with Carter and Hibbert.
Although Hibbert performed mediocre in the playoffs last season, his physical talent is there, and he can definitely get a contract of ten million or more.
So the idea of leaving Hibbert as a substitute for Yao Ming is definitely unrealistic.
But O’Queen alone is not a rookie, so they will need to sign an experienced or immediate substitute center in the free market.
Then, it was Carter.
If you rate the performance of the Lakers’ players last season, then Carter and Crawford can definitely be called “junk brothers” together.
But Carter is a little different for the Lakers, because in the past few years when the Lakers fell, Carter has worked hard and has made a lot of contributions to the team.
The Lakers management has no other characteristics, but it does pay more attention to sentiment and image.
In history, Kobe’s old-age contract, the average team absolutely can not give it.
If Carter is willing to renew the contract at a low price, the Lakers are still willing to stay.
Of course, the premise is, what Sun Hao thinks.
Sun Hao, of course he won’t object.
Carter is a very different person in Super Giant.
Generally super giant or very long-lasting, such as Jordan and Kobe;
There are also those who fell in the middle of the journey, such as McGrady and Hill;
But Carter’s peak popularity and strength are very strong. After being stepped by Bowen, he became an ordinary All-Star player.
is just this level, he lasted for a long time, and even played in the league for 22 years.
So judging from Carter’s historical performance, Carter’s downturn last season will not be the norm. He might be able to get his status back next season.
If Carter can be renewed at a lower price, it will be a good deal for the Lakers.
These main things are determined, and the rest are some minor repairs, and then wait for the free market to officially begin.
A few days later, along with the sky of rumors, the door to the free market was officially opened.
Howard was the first to announce that he had jumped out of the last year of the previous big contract and became a completely free agent.
Then, the fierce chase began.
Although the Clippers were unexpectedly upset by the Lakers last season, Yao Ming is now unclear because of his injury. Howard is now the best center in the league, and it is inevitable to be popular in the market.
Then, it was Yi Jianlian.
As I said before, which team wins the championship will determine the development trend of the league.
The Warriors have completed the dynasty, and the development of small **** has become a trend.
Yi Jianlian, who is more suitable than Ibaka at this time, is not much less popular in the market than Howard.
For the Bulls, renewing Yi Jianlian will be their top priority.
Together with Paul, who has made it clear that he will renew his contract last season, this summer the Bulls owner must be ready to send out a huge check.
In addition to these two insiders, Deron is also one of the targets pursued by many teams.
Although the experience of the Hornets a few years ago can be described as tragic, but Deron’s ability lies there.
His drag step change is a must in the league, not to mention his pick-and-roll scoring ability and organizational ability.
Finally, those veterans, all-in-one market sweets.
Interestingly, before the door to the free market was opened, there were turmoil within the Celtics.
The Big Three team has not achieved anything for many years. Ray Allen was squeezed to the bench by the teenager Bradley last season, which made Ray Allen care about it.
But Garnett and Pierce tried to persuade Ray Allen to stay and fight again.
For these two old guys, they couldn’t accept the hard work of the Big Three lineup and finally exit in this way.
Even if they fight until retirement, they have to fight to the last minute.
There are different ideas between the three, and there is news that Ray Allen will leave the Celtics with a high probability.
And his next home is likely to be one of several popular championship teams, including the Lakers.
true and false, false and true.
The first day of the free market was a lot of movement and little rain.
There are various rumors about who is interested in who, but in the end, the signing is really not too suspenseful.
For example, the Thunder renewed Westbrook with a 5-year 80 million maximum salary contract, and the Timberwolves also renewed Love at the same price.
These two college friends got the maximum salary contract on the same day, which is also a kind of destiny.
The Lakers also started reinforcements at this time.
They signed a three-year, 9 million new contract with Fernandez.
Fernandez averaged 12.6 points per game with the Cavaliers last season. Although there is a certain amount of water because of the weak team, the value of this contract is still very high.
In fact, Fernandez also stated in the negotiations that the Lakers were his only option.
If it wasn’t for being able to play with Sun Hao, he would have decided to return to Spain to play.
So this is actually a friendly price.
And it’s still in the freezing period at this time, the two sides reached a verbal agreement, which will not affect the Lakers’ subsequent signing operations.
Two days after the opening of the free market, the situation was not much different from the first day.
At this time, the fans realized one thing, that is, many players are waiting and watching, waiting for the biggest fish to make a decision.
Sun Hao and Yao Ming met in Washington on this day.
This time the two met again. After a simple greeting, Sun Hao went straight to the subject and chatted with Yao Ming about the future and the idea of playing together.
Similar to what the outside world guessed, Yao Ming’s mentality at this time is different from before.
Although he failed to help the Wizards win the championship, the Wizards’ training for him and his achievements for the Wizards have almost offset.
The career after this is the stage he considers for himself.
What Sun Hao didn’t know was that after the season ended, Jordan actually talked to him about the next thing.
Jordan’s attitude has been exposed in previous rumors.
He is very grateful for what Yao Ming has done for the Wizards, so as long as Yao Ming chooses to stay, he will surely persuade the others in the management group to keep the Wizards with the largest contract.
Because he was born as a player, he knew that to do so was to respect the players and it was also a chance for the team to win fame.
But, besides that, he also expressed his true attitude to Yao Ming.
“Whether you choose to stay or chase the championship, I will support you.”
Again, Jordan came from the players, so he knows how attractive the championship is to players, especially in the later stages of his career.
Yao Ming was very moved by what Jordan said, and he basically had the answer in his heart. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
After Sun Hao came to find him again, he also said his thoughts.
“I also want to go to Los Angeles to play with you, but I am not sure about my injury. I am afraid that in two years it will drag you down and the Lakers.”
Yao Ming’s thoughts are still Chinese thoughts after all, and they are very positive.
If this is an ordinary American player, what drag and reputation, the “money” you get is the most real.
According to the most popular words, the bosses are willing to pay them the ball. What’s wrong with them?
“Those are not the most important thing. If you want to play with me, that’s the most important thing.”
Sun Hao’s words are very similar to those of men and women who fall in love. If your relatives object, it will drag you down. As long as you love, nothing else is a problem.
And after saying this sentence, he added another sentence:
“The last thing people need to do is to worry about things that haven’t happened, because no matter whether you worry about it or not, life is the same.”
Yao Ming stared at Sun Hao for a while, and finally nodded.
“I will go to Los Angeles.”
