Super Lord of the Rings - Chapter 933
The deal was boycotted, and the King’s signing in the free market was even more difficult. It was almost impossible to move. When James left, none of the veterans were willing to come.
Pierce and Wade are the most typical examples. If the “double king combination” still exists, the king may be their first choice. Now, they are not given high salaries.
What’s more disgusting is that there are teams that specifically block the King and open a premium contract to dig the King’s role player.
The Raptors dumped 18 million to Patrick Patterson in 3 years. Last season, this was a substitute. The data is average.
Petri immediately matched the contract, leaving Patterson on the team. He must be the No. 4 starter next season. If he is poached, the King will not be able to fight. Looking for a good power forward in the free market, I am afraid that I have to pay a higher price, but it may not be successful.
Carol’s playing time is shorter, and he has been digging for more than 8 minutes per game. The Eagles gave him 16 million for 4 years, a serious premium, just like the Pistons digging Jerebko.
Petri immediately opened the same conditions, leaving Carol also. This is a player that the King focused on training. His shooting and defense have improved significantly, and he cannot let it go.
Fortunately, only King Jun and Curry are the only high-paid players in the Kings, and all contracts can be opened. Thomas does not need to let go if he is for money, but he wants the ball.
The Alliance also deliberately spoke through the media, saying that the King was about to be completely dismantled, and he was saved. There is also news that Wang Jun has proposed a deal and intends to join the Los Angeles Lakers and team up with Kobe.
Behind it is Adam Xiaohua who is manipulating. He loves money and is more commercial than Stern. He is determined to take Paul and James up. One is in the New York team and the other is the strongest native star.
The result of nonsense in the media is that there are no big names in the free market willing to join the king. Petrie asked multiple player agents and they were all rejected.
At the end of July, when the media talked about the Kings lineup, they compared them with the Timberwolves and Pistons, and thought that in addition to Wang Jun, the Kings and these rotten teams are at the same level.
Raptors power forward Ed Davis joined the Lakers at the end of the year. At the end of the second year as a player option, he would rather believe that the Lakers with Love will rise without considering the Kings. He once said that he was a fan of Wang Jun, and Petrie called the goods to solicit it, and refused it at once.
Some people can only be fans, not teammates. The same is true for Anthony Morrow, who can’t win the championship and immediately flashes. Wealth and wealth can be shared, not suffering.
Karon Butler joined the Pistons and would rather go to a bad team. The cities of Detroit are all bankrupt, and the crime rate there is high.
Even Villanueva and Turkoglu, who are already obsolete, are reluctant to join the King. The former base salary joins the Mavericks, the latter base salary goes to the Clippers to hug their thighs.
Boozer was injured many times and defended poorly. They were attacked by the Blazers. They wanted to support Valan Hunas.
Unfortunately, the Lakers won the Boozer bid with an annual salary of 3.2 million US dollars, and the rest was paid by the Blazers.
The King’s offer was 3 million, but it was a defeat. Petri did not expect such a non-defensive person to have a high price competition.
The Lakers know that the King will win after participating in the bidding. It is purely disgusting. The team also has Jordan Hill, Love, and newcomer Randall. Boozer will not get too much playing time.
Boozer said in an interview that if no team wins the bid, his first choice is to sign the Rockets. The king was not within his consideration.
After a round of questions, Petrie had no choice but to take Albert Swan’s suggestion to dig up the “rocket abandoner” that no one wanted.
Petrie felt a dark future. “Boy, I’m going to lose your job this season. The boss will definitely not be satisfied.”
“Why? We have to believe Morey. He is a lighthouse in the vast sea, a bright light in the dark. The players he has chosen must have special skills, but they may not be suitable for the rockets. Find an affirmative line suitable for our system.”
Petrie covered his face with one hand.
You more me!
Although extremely reluctant, but no players are willing to come, Petrie can only do so. He called and contacted Robert Covington, a Rockets non-draft-winning marginalist who entered the NBA. The Rockets had already cut him.
The King gave Covington a two-year salary contract, the second year is the team option.
Covington received a phone call with gratitude, and his base salary made him happy, because he had no one to ask for, and he was preparing to contact the worst 76 people to play for them in the Summer League.
Covington was so poor that he didn’t even have an agent. In 2013, the Rockets signed him with a three-year contract, only the first year was guaranteed, played a total of 7 games for the Rockets, scored 2.3 points and 0.7 rebounds, without assists.
Covington was noticed by Swan because he scored 33 points in the NBDL All-Star Game in February this year, setting a record for the NBDL All-Star Game. He was elected MVP and made 9 three-pointers.
Last season, Covington played 42 games for the NBDL Viper, averaging the second highest 23.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2.4 steals in the league. His 80% of his scores came from mid-range shooting and 39.6 three-point shooting. %.
Covington is 206cm tall, weighs 98kg, has an average confrontation ability, and has an advantage in height when shooting. These are suitable for the King. Wang Jun is in charge of the main attack, attracting the doubles to go out, he is responsible for catching the shot. If the other party is not strong, he can also make a guest appearance at No. 4 to take charge of the space.
Then, the King and the forward Al Farouk Aminu signed a two-year salary contract, the second year team option.
Aminu was selected by the Jazz sixth in the first round of 2010 and was sent to the Bobcats for two seasons. In the case of McGee, the top spot, he can only play off the bench and overlap positions.
Aminu has excellent physical fitness, defensive desperation, and scoring is mainly based on breakthroughs. No team is willing to give 206CM big man the right to let him break through.
The Bobcats, whose name was changed to Hornets, had no intention of renewing their contracts with Aminu.
Some people think that he is another Terrence Williams, empty and physical, not suitable for the NBA. In fact, Amino is much better, mainly in defensive performance.
His body is very similar to Covington, with a height of 206CM, a weight of 98 kg, a wingspan of 218CM, and outstanding athletic ability. For the past two seasons, he has been the most efficient small forward in the league in rebounding. He has a good defense, but the confrontation is not enough for the inside.
Excellent wing defender, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is exactly what the King needs.
On August 3, the Kings found Ken’s trade team again, using two second-round draft picks in 2015 and 2016 to get forward Luke Richard Bamot from the Timberwolves trade.
This was proposed by Wang Jun, and he was very impressed with Ba Mote.
Offensively, Bamott can do nothing. Defensively, he can defend from No. 1 to No. 4 and is particularly good at pick-and-roll prevention.
He was a substitute in the Timberwolves, averaging only 14.7 minutes per game, scoring 3.3 points and 2.2 rebounds. Looking at the stats, he can never find anyone worse than him.
After this signing, the King has identified 14 people in the new season, and the remaining quota will be decided after the preseason.
Seeing the list of the latest lineup, Vivek was not angry, so he called Petrie to the office, and it fell through.
“Are you kidding me? This is our lineup for the new season? Why can’t I call these newcomers?”
