This striker is not serious

In last season's finals, when Bird and Jordan were watching the game, he said in a joking tone that he would not be surprised if a player designated his next destination one day in the future.

Okay, now this player is from his team, this is not an accident, this is a shock!

Bird's expression at this time must be wonderful.

However, George's designated next home also made some fans confused.

Because it was said before that James is likely to go to the Lakers, and now George, who is also a small forward, will also go to the Lakers.

Is this where the Lakers suddenly become a battleground between the two super giants?

Although theoretically speaking, it is far more difficult for George to go to the Lakers than James.

Because George has at least two years left on his contract with the Pacers, the Lakers must pay enough sincerity to get him.

And because Bosh is now semi-retired, the only bargaining chip the Lakers have is Paul.

But it is obvious that the Lakers cannot trade Paul for George.

So where will George go becomes a suspense drama.

Even this time point is one year earlier than in history. Whether George will leave the Pacers and where he will end up is not even Lin Ying can guess.

Then, there's the Rose deal.

The Nets really traded Rose!

Warken Dean is not really Lin Ying's savior. He has his own way of thinking about problems. He will selectively accept some of Lin Ying's suggestions, while others are just for reference.

This is also the reason why he can run the Nets into what they are now.

If he was just a puppet, this position would have been replaced long ago.

And the cost for the Nets to acquire Rose was not high.

They first signed Robert Covington to a four-year, $40 million contract extension, and then packaged Joseph, Dinwiddie, and a second-round draft pick.

(Next season is the last year of Rose’s big contract, with an annual salary of 21.32 million)

This seemingly "cabbage price" trading chip was actually the best offer the Bulls had ever received.

Rose's injury risks scare most teams away, because if you are not careful, there will be an injury number worth more than 20 million on the team.

As a bargaining chip for the Nets, Covington is a restricted free agent, and his stay or stay is not entirely up to him. However, his solid performance in the Finals, coupled with the special summer of 2016, allowed him to get

Got a good long-term contract.

His case also proves that there is no shortage of market for 3D players in any era.

Moreover, the Bulls traded Rose and previously announced that they would not renew Noah's contract, which shows that they are entering into a rebuilding process.

And 3Ds like Covington and high-quality backup point guards like Joseph are very good at filling contracts for the poor, and they will not affect reconstruction at all.

As for Dinwiddie, it was the Nets who scratched half of the lottery ticket. It only had the word "Thank you". The Bulls took it and continued to scratch it.

The price isn't too high, but Warken Dean's move also involves a gamble.

As Lin Ying said, Rose's current characteristics are such that the Nets can only play the role of sixth man.

His injury risks cannot be eliminated. Even if he is regarded as an upgraded version of Joseph, the Nets have also lost Covington.

Moreover, this transaction also sent a message that Walken Dean was ready to prepare for Jr.'s departure.

Facts also proved this. Later, Jr. received a three-year, 45 million offer from the Thunder.

This offer triggered a heated discussion among fans.

Some fans feel that this is a contract that Jr. deserves for his outstanding performance with the Nets in the past few years.

Some fans feel that this offer is too big for a sixth man.

But soon, the second voice came with news.

Because the signings announced by each team one after another illustrate how special this summer is.

For example, Kent Bazemore of the Eagles renewed a four-year, $70 million contract with the team;

Another example is Bismack Biyombo signing with the Magic with a four-year, $72 million contract;

Then, Evan Turner signed with the Trail Blazers for 60 million in 4 years, Allen Crabbe signed with the Trail Blazers for 75 million in 4 years, Ish Smith signed with the Pistons for 18 million in 3 years, etc.

At this time, fans began to realize that in this summer's free market, the previous contract of 14 to 5 million, which was close to the maximum salary, was now the previous "middle-class" contract that a high-quality role player could get, and the previous 6 to 7 million

The "middle class" of 10,000 yuan is now what many players with basic salaries can get!

So at this time, fans who had some doubts about the Rose trade immediately felt how cost-effective this deal was.

After all, Rose's current contract salary is only three to four million more than players of Bazemore and Clumbo's level!

Moreover, this contract is an expiring contract. If Rose really plays well with the Nets, the renewal price next year will not be too high!

That would be more practical than waiting until next summer for Rose to come and shoot. After all, Rose can go to so many places, why must he come to the Nets to play as a substitute?

Immediately after the transaction was completed, Lin Ying received a text message from Dean Walken.

Lin Ying rarely logged into his social media account and expressed his welcome to Rose's arrival.

Then he also took a look at social media for a while and found that at this time, social media was already full of Nets fans carnival.

"Our lineup next season will be: Rose, Bradley/Ariza, Durant, Lin Ying, Jokic. This is a lineup that I can't put together in 2K!"

"Many people are worried about Rose's injuries, but he won't bear too much pressure on the Nets! As long as he can return to 60% of his peak strength, we will all make a profit!"

"This is a win-win deal. Both Rose and the Nets are winners. I can't wait to see Rose put on the Nets jersey!"

"Romy cried for eight years. I have always believed that Ross's fate will turn around one day. This is God's best blessing to him!"

"When God closes the door, he will definitely open a window for you!"

…

Lin Ying feels that this kind of reaction from the fans may not be entirely a good thing, because it is still unknown how Rose will fare.

You must know that the higher you praise this kind of voice, the harder it will be stepped down in the end.

Not long after he checked social media, his cell phone rang, and it was an unknown number.

He was surprised when he picked up the call. It was actually Ross!

"I saw your social media, thank you, Lin, thank you, really thank you."

Ross kept saying thank you on the phone, and his tone was a little more throaty.

Lin Ying felt inexplicably touched for a moment.

It wasn't that he thought Rose's posture was humble, but he could feel the tenderness.

And he suddenly remembered a famous scene he had seen before.

That was when Rose cried immediately after calling his agent to find out he was traded.

Although Lin Ying was not with Rose now, he could guess that Rose should have just finished the phone call with his agent.

"Welcome to the new family, Derek."

Lin Ying also said in a gentle tone.

…

George's matter has not been settled yet, but something big happened with the Pacers. Bird resigned!

Everyone has their own paranoia and persistence. The chat between Bird and Jordan seemed to be teasing, but in fact it was also talking about their own bottom line.

George's designated next player touched his bottom line, and coupled with the internal conflicts within the Pacers team in recent years, he simply gave up his burden!

Then, Jordan invited Bird to Charlotte to relax.

Bird's external statement is that he is tired and no longer thinks about operations, but whether Bird can rekindle his fighting spirit depends on Jordan's ability.

…

The chaos in the free market continues, and Butler and Howard broke the news again.

Butler was very hurt by the loss last season. He had started training early. After learning that Howard had returned to Boston, he also wanted to train with him in advance. Fortunately, he could avenge his disgrace in the new season, but he was rejected.

This made Butler extremely disappointed with Howard and went directly to the management to ask for Howard to be sent away.

Howard also launched a counterattack and also asked the management to send Butler away, otherwise he would not renew his contract with the team.

You can't say who is right and who is wrong. After all, personalities and pursuits are different. Butler felt that Howard didn't want to make progress. Howard also felt that Butler was incomprehensible and he had to ask him to do the same if he practiced more.

Now Anji has one head and two heads. I thought I could delay it for a while, but now it seems that I can't do it without trading.

But who to give up and how to trade are all matters that require careful consideration.

…

Swift's concert ended successfully in Shanghai, and its influence lasted for a long time.

Lin Ying's show of affection at the concert also gave fans a brand new experience.

After the concert, Swift had to participate in some commercial activities, and Lin Ying took Xiaolin Yipao BJ to climb the Great Wall.

The relationship between father and son must be cultivated from an early age, otherwise when the son grows up and wants to get along, he will find that he can no longer communicate well.

Xiao Linyi wanted to hug him after climbing only two steps, but with Lin Ying's encouragement, he persisted. In the end, he walked and walked for most of the day, cried several times, and finally miraculously climbed up the Haohan Slope.

When they reached the top, Lin Ying lifted him above his head to let him see the scenery. The little guy couldn't stop giggling.

This will be a very special experience for Xiao Linyi.

Princes born in Rome want to understand some truth, this is a very important way.

When Lin Ying came down from the Great Wall, he received a call from Jr.

"I'm getting ready to go to Charlotte."

"Charlotte?"

Lin Ying was still a little surprised by this result.

"Well, Larry called me."

Then Jr's words surprised Lin Ying even more.

"Which Larry?"

"Big Bird, he seems to be working for Michael now."

Big Bird refers to Larry Bird. Unexpectedly, Bird was really made happy by Jordan!

But this is definitely a good thing for Charlotte fans.

Because the only one who could give Jordan the power to do what he did was probably Bird.

And Jr. also talked about the communication between Walken Dean and him on the phone. Walken Dean said that Jr. wanted to stay and they would match the same contract, but also made it clear that his playing time would be reduced next season.

This also shows that he treats Jr as one of his own.

Jr is now 30 years old and will be 31 next season, which is the final peak of his career. He hopes to get a real role, so he chose to go to Charlotte.

Bird promised him a shooting guard position.

"They're going to do something big this summer."

Bird even revealed some news to Jr., which further attracted Jr.

Lin Ying was looking forward to this.

Then, his expectations soon came to fruition.

The Hornets, made a deal with the Celtics.

The Hornets sent McGeege, Kaminsky, this year's No. 11 pick Sabonis, a future unprotected first rounder, a future pick swap, and traded Jimmy Butler from the Celtics.

!

Two years ago, Jordan looked down on Butler. Two years later, Bird made corrections and traded Butler to the Hornets!

Moreover, in this deal, the Hornets not only signed McGeege, but also sent out two lottery picks, 1 or 2 first-round picks. This price is also very high.

This shows that Bird regards Butler as an important core of the team.

But that's not all in action.

After completing this deal, they gave up on renewing the contracts of Marvin Williams and Jeremy Lin, and then signed Al Horford from the Hawks with a seemingly extravagant four-year, 113 million contract!

In this way, the Hornets' lineup next season will be Walker + Jr. + Butler + Al Horford + Cody Zeller.

And here we must mention the most cost-effective signing Jordan has ever made. Last season, they renewed Walker with a four-year contract worth 48 million. This is a child labor contract comparable to the one signed by the Warriors next door to Curry.

Therefore, the combined salary of this lineup is only 77 million. In this summer when the salary cap has soared to 94 million, the Hornets still have a lot of room for reinforcement.

Facts have proved that Bird does not have the ability to form a super team, but his ability to rejuvenate and maintain the minimum limit has always been good.

There is a lower limit for this lineup, but the upper limit depends on when Walker bursts into his primeval power.

Let’s talk about the Celtics. They traded away Butler to get a bunch of young players and draft picks, and soon news came out that they also gave up on Howard and were preparing to trade Thomas.

This shows that it is ready to be rebuilt.

This is not because Anji is incompetent, but because the difference between reality and history is reflected.

In history, the reason why the Celtics have been able to keep the Celtics in the championship is not because of his skillful operation, but because Billy King gave him a huge assist, which allowed the Celtics to win the championship.

While competing for the championship, he was also a rookie with the top three talents in the draft.

But now the Nets are completely different from what they were in history. The Celtics have lost this big bonus and there are constant conflicts within the team. Ainge can only choose to rebuild.

And 2017 is considered a big year for the draft, so Ainge's choice is not too bad.

In fact, you must know that before Garnett and Ray Allen came to the Celtics, the Celtics had always been tepid.

Ainge's ability is not weak, but without Billy King's assist, he is not that good.

In particular, in the current historical line, he has also given up on renewing Pierce's contract, which makes free agents less enthusiastic about Boston.

…

Bird's wave of operations attracted a lot of attention to the Hornets, and because Bird had not officially signed the contract, many people outside did not know that Bird was behind the operation.

They even lamented that Jordan suddenly became enlightened.

But while they were sighing with emotion, the fans suddenly discovered a very important thing. Halfway through the free market, James did not renew his contract with the Cavaliers, nor did he sign with the Lakers!
