Chapter 666: The Current Situation of Each Team, the Situation Is Turbulent!

In the NBA, any two team leaders teaming up will have a huge impact.

The four team leaders are even more so.

Now the public opinion in the United States and even the world is shocked by this sudden shocking news, just like the Boston Celtics Big Three appeared at the beginning, shouting that the NBA's finale era has arrived.

But if you think about it carefully, in fact, the Boston Celtics Big Three were embarrassing roles that did not enter the playoffs last season.

Garnett continued to sink in the Timberwolves.

Pierce was also as bad as it could be in the Celtics.

And Ray Allen led the team to play badly to compete for Yes that season.

But such a team of three "losers" still made the world exclaim that the NBA finale has come, of course, not because of the performance of the three in the last season.

There are only 30 teams in the NBA. No matter how you count, there are definitely not 30 team leaders who can lead the team to the playoffs.

Any team leader who has led the team to the playoffs is worthy of attention.

Even if they had a bad life before, they were still strong men who led their teams to the playoffs.

This is true for Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, James, Wade, Bosh and Ben Gordon.

Although it was finally proved that the Big Three combination of Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen did not make the NBA reach the finale, this did not affect the panic in the league.

The four strongest 30 players in the league are in a group, which is of course panic.

Even David Stern was a little panicked at the first time.

This five-party big deal ruined his four teams!

Without Bosh, the Raptors will have nothing to watch next season.

Without James, who will recognize this Cleveland Cavaliers?

The Nets are already rebuilding.

Especially the Bulls, which were directly pushed into ruins!

More importantly, the dominance of the Heat is absolutely harmful to the NBA, especially this kind of forced combination of dominance!

But Pat Riley, the old fox, everything he does is in accordance with the rules. He can't overturn them. He also needs to abide by the rules, even if he can't.

He hopes to see James play against Yes on the stage of the finals, but definitely not in this way!

And David Stern is not a fool, and the whole world is not a fool. Can't you see that Pat Riley's appetite is not satisfied now?

This year is a year of big salary cap increases!

The current league salary cap is 70 million US dollars, and the current salary of the Heat's Big Four is 14 million for Wade next season, 14 million for James, and 14 million for Bosh. Ben Gordon has not renewed his contract yet, but his bird rights are in the Heat and can be renewed above the cap.

The current Heat, after Pat Riley gave all the garbage contracts to the Bulls, the Heat's player structure is not healthy.

Haslem 6 million US dollars, Varejao 5 million, Mario Chalmers, a second-round pick.

That is to say, the total contract amount of the Heat team next season is more than 53 million, and there is still 17 million space from the salary cap of 70 million, and there is more than 30 million US dollars of space from the trigger line of luxury tax!

Damn, the Heat can add another giant in the free market, and it is very easy to add a giant!

This year's salary cap surge has given Pat Riley, the old guy, a lot of room for operation!

After the completion of this big deal of the Heat, David Stern really didn't sleep all night.

He has been thinking about a question, who is Pat Riley's next target?

Will it be Arenas? !

Now it is a completely free agent!

Moreover, don't think that completely free agents are Pat Riley's goals. Pat Riley can also take action on those restricted free agents.

For example, Iguodala, a player of the 76ers.

If the Heat offers Iguodala a 4-year maximum salary, will the 76ers follow?

The current maximum salary of 0-6-year players in the NBA is 25% of the salary cap, which is about 17 million!

Will the 76ers give Iguodala a five-year maximum salary or match the Heat's maximum salary?

If they can't match, then Iguodala will be the fifth giant of the Heat!

A team with five top bosses gathered together, his heart disease is really not good!

Of course, Iguodala is just a metaphor for him.

Maybe Pat Riley is not interested in Iguodala but someone else?

In short, for him, this is really a very critical moment in the league.

He would like to see James defeat Yes to win the championship, and it would be best if this era is the era of James and Yes.

But it really doesn't work this way!

David Stern is sure that after James succeeds in this way, more and more people will follow suit in the future.

By then, there will be more and more oligarch teams like this in his league, strong teams will become stronger, and weak teams will become weaker. By then, his league will not need to talk about dreams, nor about surpassing the NFL. It will be good to be able to gain a foothold in the American professional league!

Reason told David Stern that he must prevent such a thing from happening, but since the emergence of Yes and his failure to cultivate James in a special way, he has decided to give up any special means to completely purify the NBA. Anyone can hold back his hands, even in this year's playoffs, when the Sonics were in such a critical situation.

In the end, it was proved that his decision was extremely correct. The alliance has indeed become popular and healthy, and the popularity and recognition of the alliance have also increased linearly.

He really didn't want to ruin such an achievement,

Therefore, it is impossible to use special means to defeat the Heat in the game.

He can only hope that there is a team in the league that can teach the Heat a lesson in the game, but with the Heat's current situation, although he is unwilling to admit that this team is invincible, this team is indeed not that easy to defeat.

"Can we only expect the growth of Yes?"

He has always been looking forward to the growth of Yes.

Yes' growth has never let him down, but...

"It would be great if Yes selected Mayo and DeAndre Jordan this year!"

In this case, he can still hope that Yes and his team can help the alliance defeat the devil's clutches in three years' time and return the alliance to clarity!

Now...

David Stern lamented.

There are many people who are sighing like David Stern now, no matter whether it is true or not that the media around the world are calling for the league's finale to attract attention.

But there is no doubt that the current Heat is definitely one of the teams that all teams in the league that are interested in championships are most wary of.

What's more, the current situation of each team may not be that good.

As the No. 1 team in the regular season last season and recognized as the strongest team in the league, the current situation of the Rockets is very bad.

McGrady's back injury recurred in the playoffs last season, and he doesn't know how long he will be sidelined. The contracts of Artest, the team's core defensive player, and Ariza, the team's important defensive player on the outside, have expired. Both of them have now received Many teams are attracted, and the Rockets are not the first choice for both of them.

The Rockets, who had great success last season, are likely to be left with Yao Ming, Gerald Wallace and Roy to lead the team. The three-person team will definitely be a strong team, but their dominance will definitely be gone.

As an assistant coach of the Rockets, Thibodeau can clearly feel that Adelman's hair is getting grayer.

The situation of the Rockets is really uncomfortable now. They missed the best opportunity to win the championship. Maybe they will never be there again.

The Suns are in a similar situation to the Rockets. After the Suns failed in the playoffs last year, several core players were ready to start again under the inspiration of Nash.

Players and coaches want to start over, but they need to consider the team owner's ideas.

Marion's contract expires this year, and renewal is a big issue. Marion's current combat effectiveness is still at its peak, but he is now 30 years old.

Marion hopes to get a pension contract that is large enough.

But how could the Suns management dare to give it? If they really did, the Suns would really be tied to death in the next five years!

Also, Lagabel's contract has expired. How big should Lagabel's contract be?

Could it be that all the Six Stars of the Sun have contracts worth over RMB 10 million?

The Suns don't give Laga Bell 10 million, but the team will give him some. We can't let Laga Bell take a salary cut to stay with the team, right?

Don't forget, it's time for Nash to sign a new contract. Nash's next contract will be a maximum salary no matter how you look at it. It's impossible for the Suns to let the second point guard in history leave.

Nash has never signed a big enough contract in his life. When the time comes, Nash's next contract will definitely be a big thank-you contract.

When the time comes, the luxury tax will be tied to a bunch of junk contracts. What will the Suns do in the future?

The Suns are in a difficult situation now, but the contract negotiations that need to be negotiated must continue.

There is also the third place in the regular season Western Conference and the defending champion SuperSonics. Durant, the second leader of the SuperSonics, will be out until at least the playoffs. The team is now a team dominated by Yes.

The combat effectiveness next season is really doubtful.

And what about the Nuggets, fourth in the Western Conference?

Well, this team, nicknamed the Zombie Team, is another year older...

As well as the Nuggets, who were sixth in the Western Conference last season, Billups and Hamilton were hit hard by the 3-0 overturn in last season's playoffs, and now they even have the idea of ​​​​retiring.

Especially Hamilton.

Now the Nuggets are focused on rescuing these two team leaders.

Perhaps the most prosperous teams in the entire West right now are the Lakers and Grizzlies.

"Our only enemy in the West next season is the Grizzlies, and our only opponent in the league is the Heat!"

At the Lakers' team meeting regarding the Heat's Big Four incident, Kobe's voice was very confident!

No wonder he has reason to be confident.

"I can tell you the good news. Artest is willing to join the Lakers. Ariza is also willing to join the Lakers as long as the contract is suitable!"

Hearing Kobe, the Lakers recruiter, say this, everyone else was excited.

These two are both tough guys!

The warrior who defeated the Lakers in the playoffs last season!

"As long as Arenas doesn't join the Grizzlies and Heat, the Lakers will be the strongest team in the league next season!"

The Lakers, who were originally excited and excited, were a little confused when they heard about Arenas joining the Grizzlies and Heat.

Now the whole world is speculating on where Arenas will end up.

The Grizzlies and Heat are the two most popular choices.

After leading the team to two consecutive defeats in the Eastern Conference Finals, it seems difficult for Arenas to continue to stay with the Wizards.

Where Arenas goes is a big thing that can change the entire league.

In Phil Jackson's view, the Heat's Big Four are very strong, but he did not expect the NBA to have a finale. The Lakers joined by Artest and Ariza next season will not be worse than the Heat's Big Four.

The key is the ownership of Arenas, the huge straw.

"Arenas..."

Mentioning this name, Kobe has a toothache. There are not many players in the league who can give him toothache. Arenas, James and Yes, these three are definitely ranked in the top three regardless of victory or defeat.

Regardless of whether Arenas goes to the Heat or the Grizzlies, it will be a fatal blow to him and the Lakers.

After the Heat's Big Four were formed, targeted meetings were held across the league.

The Seattle SuperSonics are no exception.

Leafs, Nelson, Presti and team president Rick Sund once again gathered together.

But before the meeting, team general manager Presti expressed his gratitude to Yes.

"Yes, about Harden and Ibaka, thank you very much."

"fine."

Yesi shook his head.

It was Presti's decision to draft Harden and Ibaka.

Yes is the candidate who agrees with Harden. As for Ibaka...

He really wasn't very clear.

The whole world now thinks the two men's decisions are still over his head.

He actually doesn't care. Even if he chooses Liu Wei with the No. 1 pick, no one would dare to do anything to him.

But Presti can't do it. If fans all over the world knew that selecting Durant, Harden, and Ibaka were actually Presti's strong recommendations, he might not be the general manager of the SuperSonics now.

No one will give him that long of time, and he is not an irreplaceable player. Under the pressure of public opinion, the best option for the general manager is to resign.

Just like the current Seattle SuperSonics president Rick Sander, he resigned sadly before Yeosi proved himself.

Although Rick Sander eventually became a city hero.

Yesi likes the team's current general manager Presti very much. He is a person with warmth, ideals and ability. He is willing to serve as a shield for such a person. "After the season ended, none of us expected that the league would change so much."

At the Seattle SuperSonics meeting, all the participants except Ye Si looked somewhat silent.

The Heat's goal in forming the Big Four is very clear, which is to win the championship, and they are the defending champions and will bear the brunt.

Moreover, James' personal goal for the Big Four formed by the Heat is also very clear, which is to defeat Yes and fight again for the Chosen One!

Although James no longer has the reputation of being the chosen one, and defeating Yes is not enough, there is no doubt that if Yes is really humiliated by the Heat next season, it will still be quite ugly.

What's more, the current situation of the SuperSonics is indeed very bad.

Yeas looked at the document sent by the team's general manager Presti, which listed the SuperSonics players for next season.

Center: Milicic, Gasol, Nick Collison

Power forward: Millsap, Ibaka, Malik Rose

Small forward: Durant (injured), Quentin Richardson, Wilkins, P.J. Tucker

Guards: Yes, Rondo, Harden, Barea, Sessions

Just 15 players.

One is no more and the other is less.

Presti's meaning is obvious, that is, this is all the SuperSonics have next season. If our team does not change, we will have no choice but to carry this lineup to next season.

But if it changes, where should it change?

Is it necessary to grab Marion for the weakest small forward position?

The Sonics' current total salary is less than 60 million, and they can make a difference in the free market.

Arenas can't win, but others who are not so top can still win.

And if it doesn't work, you can also buy out the contract, isn't it just money?

Things that money can solve are not problems. If they are ruthless, the Sonics can also offer Arenas!

"We can tentatively contact Marion and Arenas."

Old Nelson said thoughtfully under Presti's questioning gaze.

"What do you think Yes?"

"I have no opinion."

Washington, Arenas' home, the league has not been very peaceful recently, and Washington is even less peaceful.

The team's starting power forward Antawn Jamison actually disappeared after the season!

When the contract expires, will the world evaporate?

Does this need any more explanation?

Of course it's not needed.

And more than a month after Jamison disappeared, Arenas also disappeared.

Arenas' contract also expires this year, so rumors have started all over the world.

Now, Arenas and Jamison, the two players who disappeared from the message, have all appeared at Arenas' home.

"Brothers and partners, do you think these new treasures I bought are powerful and majestic?"

Seeing the black guy pointing at him like this, Jamison's legs are weak now!

Damn it, this lunatic can’t be serious, can he? !

Jamison really wants to cry now. He hid in the African Atlantic Ocean and was found!

These ungrateful fellows!

And Gilbert, I am as powerful as Bibi Nima, and as majestic as Bibi Nima!

"Antoine, what's so fun about hunting on the island? They're all cold weapons. Look at these treasures. Hunting with such big guys is fun in our area, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, yes, what Gilbert said is so right, I just like to play with these big guys with Gilbert!"

"..."

In an instant, the surrounding air changed from tense to blooming, just like Arenas' smile.

It's just that the other Wizards players now have a look of contempt on their faces.

Did you agree to be the first to rebel?

Why did we choose such a coward?

What a shame!

There are no traitors among you, how can I be found by this tyrant?

"I won't tell you much. My contract has expired this year, and many teams have approached me. However, I can tell you clearly that I don't like the Grizzlies, and I don't like the Heat, and the SuperSonics even more. ,I dont like it either!"

"My interest is to be a rival with Yes, not a teammate!"

"I want to be the strongest player, and I also want to lead the strongest team, but I can't be the best. Challenging the best and defeating the best is also a joy in life!"

"Brothers, pick up the guy next to you, we are going to have a good time today!"

Looking at the arrogant Arenas, all Wizards players were stunned, including Jamison.

Although this tyrant is not very clever, he is indeed domineering...

Attempt sexual contact with Arenas…

As soon as the Sonics were about to make contact, Arenas announced his contract extension with the Wizards.

The Sonics failed to make contact with Arenas.

With Arenas' contract extension, all teams that coveted Arenas have failed.

At almost the same time, the Heat announced the signing of Thunder player Tyson Chandler who had jumped out of his contract for 4 years and 60 million.

At the same time, former New York Knicks boss Marbury announced that he would join the Heat with a minimum salary...

For a moment, the storm surged again.
