The Godfather of Basketball - v2 Chapter 825
On the last day of the All-Star Game, the 76ers coach Brett Brown coached for the first time on the East side, and Cole re- coached the West team.
The two team members played very hard. At the moment of the decisive battle, Owen hit three consecutive points to lead the team to win.
Irving scored 33 points in the game and was elected to the All-Star Game MVP for the first time in his career.
The Nets record is impressive, and with George’s absence, Irving has contributed, and this honor is icing on the cake.
The All-Star Game ended and the season entered the second half.
Both the Nets and the Warriors are obviously playing against injuries, but both teams are significantly stronger than the average team, and their record is constantly rising.
The moment came to March 1st, the alliance’s trading deadline was advanced, but the buyout deadline was unchanged.
This year’s buyout market is much more explosive than last year. Zach Randolph, Kings, Tyson Chandler of the Suns, and Austin Rivers of the Wizards all have rumors of buyouts.
The powerful players are eager to move. These players are either veterans or representatives with high base salaries, but once the buyout, the new team pays very little, and it will definitely be a powerful supplement.
Tang Tian is also paying attention to the buyout market, allowing Jones to follow up immediately.
The Nets now have only 14 people on the roster. The team’s inside looks almost in depth, and now it is necessary to buy out so many good inside players on the market.
As the deadline is approaching, rumors on the market have gradually increased, and the direction has become clear.
The Kings’ Randolph can also contribute 13.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game this season, but he has no career and is already 38 years old. He clearly hopes to chase the championship at the last moment.
The Warriors are its front runners.
The Warriors now only have Lunyi and Jerebko as substitutes inside. Jerebko has proved to be embarrassing. They urgently need to replenish the inside. They are good at offense and Randolph is a good choice.
What many people don’t know is that Randolph and Cole played for the Blazers for a year.
Cole recalled that Randolph gave a high evaluation. He said that although Randolph was a rookie at the time, he faced the famous stars Dale Davis and Rashid Wallace in training without any fear of attack. Duan even has the upper hand. He thinks that if this person can meet Bole, the future is unlimited.
After more than ten years, the roles and low positions of the two have changed. One has become the champion coach and the other has reached the end of his career.
But the personal relationship between the two has been good, which is why the Warriors lead.
The news also shocked other teams.
The Warriors have a great record now. Although they suffered a fiasco in the opening game, they also won back in early January after Cousins returned, and now they are winning 70.
In this case, they have to sign Randolph!
Although Randolph is old, his combat power still exists, and the king is still the core of the fourth position!
This is a real military race, not to give other teams a chance!
And just after Randolph, the Suns’ “boxing champion” Tyson Chandler also reached a buyout.
Chandler and Randolph are in a similar situation. They are both veterans and still exist.
Jones this time contacted Chandler, who also expressed interest in joining the Nets.
However, after them, the Mavericks also contacted the veteran, hoping that he can help the team to playoffs.
After consideration, Chandler decided to join the Mavericks.
Mavericks veteran Dirk Nowitzki and head coach Carlisle became key players.
Randolph and Chandler were two of the biggest fish in the market. As a result, they have missed the Nets. The Nets have a bit of a backs this year.
Before the deadline is approaching, other buyouts have also been reached.
The Clippers had a buyout by Marcin Gortat.
The Wizards and Austin Rivers reached a buyout.
The king and Couvers reached a buyout.
…
Gortat finally chose to join the 76ers after the buyout, former teammate JJ Redick became a key figure.
Couvers chose to join the Celtics, the team’s assistant coach Ron Adams and his personal relationship.
…
After the buyout and signing of the agreement were reached one after another, human relationships became the main theme in the market.
The Nets missed each time because of this.
In the buyout market, no one can sign a contract. Tang Tian can only aim at the free agent market.
Players who haven’t played in the NBA this season can still be signed.
But most of them have not been able to play in the NBA this season.
After screening, the Nets aimed at two people.
One is former veteran David West. West was still in the Warriors rotation last season, but in the new season, the Warriors signed with Jerebko and gave up. He is now a completely free agent.
But after Jones followed up, he learned that West is now basically enjoying a leisurely life, and his body is more obvious.
Although professional players are recovering quickly, I don’t know how much West still has.
And West’s interest in playing the NBA is not particularly great. After all, the championship he most desires has been won with the Nets and the Warriors.
The other is Stoudemire. The “Little Bully” last appeared on the NBA in the 15-16 season. At first, he played for the Heat, averaging 14.7 minutes per game, and can get 5.8 with 57% shooting. He scored 4.3 rebounds and 0.8 blocks, and played with the team in the playoffs.
The state at the time was actually okay, but because of age and knee injuries, it did not appear on the NBA stage.
However, he did not give up playing after leaving the NBA. He has been playing in the Israeli Basketball League for the past two years. He played in the BIG3 league last summer and performed well. He has continued to train since then.
Stoudemire has a knee injury, which is known to everyone, but Tang Tian does not have enough honor points now, and even if he signs for Stoudemire, he is only the third substitute, so he only asked Jones to bring people to the team to carry out Had a trial training.
The trial results surprised him.
Stoudemire ’s knee injury has recovered very well in the past two years ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Although his athletic ability is no longer available, his experience and ability can still play in the NBA.
At the beginning of the season, he was looking for a chance to return to the NBA, but no team asked him, which is wrong.
After the trial training ended, the two sides reached a contract with a veteran base salary.
After the league official announced this signing, “Little Bully” returned to the NBA multiple times after two years, which also attracted the emotion of many fans.
After signing Stoudemire, the Nets’ final 15 roster for the playoffs was also determined.
Point guards: Irving, Murray, Sexton
Shooting guards: Butler, Mitchell, Wade
Small forwards: George, Porter, Bamort
Power forwards: Anthony, Kuzma, Stoudemire
Centers: Jokic, Yi Jianlian, Mitchell Robinson
