Super Heavy Artillery - v3 Chapter 640
“Super Heavy Gun ( to find the latest chapter!
The summer of 2019 is definitely an extremely extraordinary period for the entire NBA. In the entire free market, players who can influence or even change the NBA league pattern can’t be counted with one hand.
Jimmy Butler is one of them.
Although he has had trouble with two teams in a row, he seems to be a guy who brings great hidden dangers to the team’s locker room. But his ability is beyond doubt. Moreover, Butler himself is a competitive person, he hopes to win the championship. The Timberwolves were traded to the 76ers because they were dissatisfied with the laziness and lack of fighting spirit of Towns and Wiggins. However, in the past season, the luxurious and talented 76ers still fell in the Eastern Conference semifinals. It can be seen that this season’s Butler and 76ers Gemini is not a success. The Sixers’ record this season still hasn’t improved. Butler is very likely to jump out of his contract and find another home.
This is not everyone’s guess. After the end of their playoffs, it was reported that Butler had a conflict with the double emperor. Besides, Butler’s salary this season is only $19 million, which can be said to be very cheap. It is not a problem to get a starting salary of 40 million with his ability. Those teams aiming to win the championship will not miss such a tough guy.
After the Warriors fell under the iron hooves of the Thunder in May this year, their lineup was greatly questioned. What is even more annoying is that in this champion division, two absolute core players are facing the issue of renewal, and they are not ordinary high salaries. After all, the performance and reputation of those two players are completely worthy of the top. salary. It’s just that in the past two years, someone has made sacrifices for this team. But failing to make it to the finals for two consecutive years will have a great impact on the players, which makes their lineup extremely unstable.
The first is Klay Thompson. After becoming a free agent, he became another big fish in the free market. As one of the best pitchers in the league today, he has first-class scoring efficiency and does not occupy the ball. He is the object of every team’s competition. His salary this season is only 19 million, which is absolutely excellent value for money.
Of course, the Warriors shouldn’t consider him to leave Oakland, and Thompson himself might not want to leave Oakland as much. After all, there are good brothers who have been together for so many years, and here, Thompson got everything he wanted. He is not suitable to be the head star of a team. In this league, where can he find a head star who is better than Curry? What’s more, fans don’t want to see the “splash brothers” part ways.
However, it is said that the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers who are chasing Anlo are also chasing Thompson. These two teams are the teams most capable of signing the next two top-paid players this summer. Moreover, the allure of the city of Los Angeles for players is too great. It can be said that there is everything they want, and few people can refuse.
In the Warriors, apart from Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant is about to become a free agent. Durant, who is known as the “God of Death”, has proven his worth in the playoffs for three consecutive years. Although he and his team have fallen to the Thunder in the past two years, Durant has used His outstanding performance proved that he was not going to the Warriors to hold the thighs, but to let the Warriors hold the thighs. His scoring ability and ability to lead the team are the most critical factors for the Warriors to win the championship in 2017. His salary this season is only 30 million. He has sacrificed his salary many times in order to keep the Warriors lineup. He will definitely not cut his salary next summer. For Durant, the championship is already in hand, and he must be looking for a super-max contract, but it is difficult for the Warriors to keep him and Thompson with two super-maxes at the same time. You know, they already have a Curry, and Green’s contract is not small. Even if only one of them is left, they will need to work hard to avoid paying high luxury taxes.
Durant’s departure from Oakland is almost a certainty. For the Warriors, Durant has always been a mercenary role. This can be seen from the repeated conflicts between him and Green. If the Warriors can always win and win the championship again, Durant may have plans to stay in Oakland. But now it seems that such a thing should not happen. After all, with his abilities, he can earn much more money anywhere than in the Warriors. Of course, there is the respect of the fans of the team.
Another big fish is Owen.
In fact, Irving played very happily with the Celtics. After leaving Cleveland and LeBron James, he finally had a team he was the leader of. However, he doesn’t seem to have learned from James how to be a “big brother”. The group of talented young players in the Celtics has always been eyeing the position of his team boss. .
His salary this season is 20 million, which obviously does not match his ability. Therefore, Irving chose to step out of the contract. After becoming a free agent, Irving will naturally not lack the next one. After all, there are not many players who can surpass Irving in terms of the value of the players themselves or their personal capabilities. And he is still young enough that many teams can build teams around him.
The last big fish is Kawaii Leonard. After the former FMVP returned this season, it can be said that he has thoroughly proved his worth. He led the Raptors all the way to triumph, historically reached the top of the Eastern Conference and led the team to the finals. Although he lost to the Thunder where Anlo was in the end, Leonard’s ability is beyond doubt. The reason why he failed to create more brilliant achievements was because the Thunder were too strong.
Everyone knows that Leonard will jump out of his contract after playing this season! This season, his salary is only 23 million US dollars. Leonard, who has always been in Los Angeles, can’t be in Toronto. After all, after he had completely froze with the Spurs, he told everyone that no matter where he was traded, he would not be there.
Leonard will join the Lakers, join forces with LeBron James, and then sign an All-Star player to form the Lakers Big Three, which may be the birth of another dynasty.
With the end of the NBA 2018-19 season, it can be said that these five players have already set out to enter the free market. There is no doubt that each of them will be snatched by the entire league. And this summer, the changes in the league are not just for them.
