Chapter 829 The Face Slap Comes Too Quickly

"Warriors with 73 victories plus Durant! Next year's regular season doesn't have to be played, just give out the championship trophy!"

"Damn, I really went to the Warriors, and the alliance didn't stop it?! Although the Pelicans are very strong, the Big Four of the Warriors are just kidding!"

"Fortunately, I didn't go to the Rockets. Going to the Rockets is the real Big Four, and that is the real champion!"

"Idiots go to the Rockets. The three Rockets all play with the ball. Is he going to be the fourth?"

"It's true. Although the Warriors have an excellent record, they have a team system. Durant can directly become the boss when he goes!"

"Isn't the second child the most? How much do you look down on Curry!"

"Du's second son? Σ(°△°|||)︴"

"You guys are so badass, but how will other teams play next year? The Warriors are already strong enough. Add the second small forward in the league..."

"Durant said he had the idea of ​​joining the Warriors last year, how uncomfortable Westbrook must be!"

"I gave everything to you, but you wanted to green me?"

"This is cheating! Scumbag Durant!"

"A moment of silence for the tortoise, and a moment of silence for the thunder team. The four thunderbolts are finished today!"

"It all starts with saying they send Harden away!"

"Shouldn't everything start with Don helping the Spurs get rid of the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals? (￣_,￣)"

"By the way, David West signed early!"

"He is really poisonous. He went to the Rockets and the Pelicans won the championship. Now that he has gone to the Pelicans, most of the championships belong to the Warriors..."

"Don't say anything, Warriors champion!"

...

Fans' comments on social media unanimously fell to the Warriors.

Whether it is the defending champion Pelicans, the Big Three Rockets, or the Cavaliers led by James, they are not the Warriors' opponents.

As they say on social media, the Warriors are a 73-win team plus Durant!

Although Durant joining means they have to give up Harrison Barnes and Ezeri, but one Durant is better than everything.

After that, other details were revealed one after another.

In Durant's selection process, in addition to Curry, Iguodala, who had a similar experience, played a key role.

The Warriors' current salary space is not enough to sign Durant, and they must send core rotation players in order to clear the space.

They can choose to send Iguodala with a salary of 11.13 million next season, or Bogut with a salary of 11.27 million.

According to related reports, they are expected to send out Bogut, who has suffered injuries and performed mediocrely after his comeback.

The Trail Blazers and Mavericks are the favorites.

The free market was full of excitement, but apart from the occasional communication with Dempsey, Tang Tian focused his energy on wedding preparations.

The specific operation must be left to Carl and the wedding company, but after all, getting married is once in a lifetime, and the two are still very devoted.

However, after seeing the news that Durant joined the Warriors, he still couldn't help sending a tweet.

The content of the tweet is very simple, just a word and a punctuation mark.

"traitor?"

Three years ago, when Tang Tian and the Pelicans reached a four-year poison contract, Durant once posted traitor comments on social media.

Even though Tang Tian, ​​as a restricted free agent, was just going through normal procedures, Durant's comments still brought a lot of rhythm.

Even though more than three years have passed, many people still remember it.

Tang Tian posted such a status now, which directly caused social media to blow up.

"Haha, Tang's operation, Tianxiu~"

"The slap in the face came too fast like a tornado..."

"Last season, the Thunder took a 3-1 lead and were overturned by the Warriors. This season, they chose to join the Warriors? This is the truest traitor!"

"And Durant said after the Warriors that he was already considering joining the Warriors last season..."

"Westbrook: There's a traitor among us!"

"Join if you can't beat it? Turn an enemy into a friend? This is to flaunt through the ages!"

"Iguodala said I did it too, and it's been fine!"

"666, birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups?"

"(ω) Hey!"

"It's said that LeBron won a championship before the Heat left. If Durant went to the Warriors and still couldn't win the championship..."

"That must be the worst thing in the 21st century."

"We all owe LeBron an apology! The road he chose to go to Miami to form the Big Three was not the most difficult path, Durant was!"

...

Durant chose to join the Warriors, making the Warriors the biggest favorite to win the championship.

Even as the fans said, the kind that can directly hand out the championship trophy.

But the pressure of public opinion facing Durant is also unprecedented.

A series of derogatory nicknames such as defecting to the enemy Du and Du Laoer emerged one after another.

"Cowards care about the process, I only want the result."

In the face of huge public opinion, Durant also showed his true qualities as the king of twitter, and sent such a direct tweet.

There is some truth to this sentence. The 76ers who have always believed in the process have not risen yet. Durant joined the Warriors, not for the process but for the result.

All he wants is the championship, and nothing else matters.

In fact, after he joined the Warriors, the Warriors basically locked the championship.

Durant's affairs were full of uproar.

It was also the next day, the day after the free freeze period ended.

In addition to the players and teams who have reached verbal contracts before, they signed contracts one after another. On this day, several favorite teams to win the championship broke out big news.

The Rockets signed Eric Gordon to a four-year, $53 million contract.

Gordon performed well with the Nets last season, but his height and injuries limited his upper limit. The Nets' signing of Jeremy Lin meant giving up him.

The reason why the Rockets signed him at this time is also very clear.

After failing to chase Durant, that's their best plan B.

The Rockets lost to the Pelicans last season. In addition to Harden's poor performance, another most important reason was the weak bench.

Gordon is not good enough as the core of the team, or the second or third leader, but it is definitely okay to play as the sixth man on the bench.

Signing Gordon, coupled with the growth of the players' own strength and the running-in between each other, the Rockets' strength in the new season will be even higher.

From the perspective of the outside world, after the Rockets did this, let alone challenge the Warriors, at least they had a 50-50 break with the Pelicans.

The Mavericks also signed a big fish in free agency, and after seven days of hard lobbying, they finally persuaded Conley to join.

The two parties signed a 4-year maximum salary contract of 114 million yuan!

Conley has played in the league for more than ten years, and he can get a 5-year maximum salary contract with a maximum salary of 35% of the league salary cap.

Catch up with the skyrocketing salary cap, he has the opportunity to get the highest-paid 5-year 153 million contract in NBA history.

But the Grizzlies failed to enter the playoffs last season, which made the management have doubts about the team's current lineup and were unwilling to offer such a big contract.

Coupled with the enthusiastic pursuit of the Mavericks, the quasi-All-Star player finally chose to join Dallas!
