MTL - NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal-v2 Chapter 938 Crazy 1 Summer, money is not money

[NBA draws O'Neal in his old age at the beginning of the NBA]【】

"I'll go! Really?!"

After waking up, Wang Zelin was a little dumbfounded when he heard the news.

Is the revision of history so strong?

Going around all the way, history has returned to the familiar inflection point.

It is no exaggeration to say that in addition to the Trail Blazers, the other 29 teams want Durant.

After all, he is the top two small forwards in active service. Everyone must be rushing for superstars of this level.

"Kevin Durant really intends to leave the Thunder and go to the Golden State Warriors?"

When Coach Terry arrived late and showed up in the general manager's office and learned the news from Orsi, he almost didn't swear on the spot.

Wang Zelin shook his head. Even he, who knew the historical development trajectory, was taken aback just now, let alone Coach Terry who was unprepared.

Although after the Thunder was eliminated by the Lakers at the end of April, there was news that Durant wanted to test the trading market this year, but he didn't say he would join the Warriors at the time!

What's more, judging from the intensity of the Thunder's training of Durant since his rookie period, the possibility of Durant continuing to sign with the Thunder cannot be ruled out.

As a result, it was expected that Durant really planned to pat his **** and leave, and they are likely to join the Golden State Warriors who played 7 games against the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals this year.

No wonder Coach Terry is so nervous.

"Yes, the news is very reliable. As soon as the free agent market opens, at most two or three days, Durant's agent Kleiman will announce the news."

Hearing this, everyone in the office fell silent.

Once this transfer is really achieved, the Trail Blazers will face an extremely terrifying opponent next season!

Orsi is very worried that the golden age that the Trail Blazers have just ushered in is likely to end here!

Everyone knows that the Trail Blazers cannot always win the championship. Even Wang Zelin knows that they cannot continue to win. Losing will happen sooner or later. It will be sooner or later that other teams beat the Trail Blazers to win the championship.

But when this kind of thing is really about to come, it is destined to be not so easy to accept.

"Shet, why is it so popular to play this now..." Coach Terry shook his head. In the past ten years, since the Celtics and the Heat started the Big Three mode successively, the way of winning championships like "grouping" has become popular in the league. .

In the past, NBA stars fought on their own, dominating each other, and decided the final winner through relatively evenly matched contests.

But now, the stars who play well are discussing how to get together to achieve a group monopoly, so as to better compete for the championship.

For a team like the Trail Blazers who slowly rely on the draft to accumulate talent and then realize the rise of the team, star grouping is undoubtedly a "shameful" shortcut.

…

Time flies, and it's July 1st.

The door to the 2016 NBA free trade market opened as scheduled.

Due to the new labor agreement, the NBA salary cap has soared by more than 20 million this season, so many free agents have seized the opportunity and ushered in a great opportunity for a skyrocketing value.

The skyrocketing salary cap has raised the poor line. In order to fill the poor line, many teams naturally offer prices much higher than normal market conditions.

Coupled with the stimulation of Durant, a super fish, this year's free agent market has become particularly interesting.

That is to say, on the first day of opening, many shocking contracts broke out in the outside world.

The first to attack was the Memphis Grizzlies, who first reached a five-year 153 million super-maximum contract extension with the team's starting point guard Mike Conley, and then reached a deal with the Dallas Mavericks. Sens signed a four-year 94 million maximum salary contract.

Then came the Los Angeles Lakers. They signed a two-year extension agreement with a total value of more than 60 million with the star and NBA legend Kobe Bryant in a special 1+1 way. In the second year, there are players option.

Kobe's salary in the new season is as high as 32 million, once again becoming the league's highest salary!

Of course, considering Kobe's unparalleled traffic and his huge commercial value on a global scale, the high salary offered by the Lakers is destined to make a steady profit.

After that, the Lakers also reached a two-year contract extension of over 30 million with Paul Gasol. With the addition of Chris Paul, who already has a contract, the Lakers will continue to compete for the championship around the old Big Three next season. They still have strong competitiveness in the west.

There is also DeRozan of the Raptors, who chose to jump out of the contract as soon as the door of the trading market opened, and reached a five-year 139 million super maximum salary extension with the Raptors as a free agent.

The emergence of super contracts again and again, the huge amount exceeded everyone's cognition in the past, and it also greatly stimulated the fans and the media, making people exclaim:

The NBA doesn't treat money as money this time!

However, cases like this are typical of this year's free agency.

For the Wizards, they have just reached a five-year 128 million offer contract with Bradley Beal;

For the Pistons, just after Andre Drummond's rookie contract expired, they reached a five-year 130 million maximum salary appointment;

The veteran giants Celtics also reached a deal with the Eagles, and signed a four-year 113 million maximum salary contract with Eagles player Al Horford;

Then the Eagles reached a deal with the Mosaic team and signed the main center Dwight Howard of the Mosaic team with a three-year contract of 70 million;

This share was placed in a contract that only superstars could have before. After the salary cap skyrocketed, the money in the free market seemed to have become a bunch of boring numbers, being squandered by the general managers of each team.

And these unfavorable operations inevitably resulted in many contracts with obvious premiums. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

For example, Taylor Johnson, who represented the Heat in 36 regular season games last season and averaged only 8.7 points, 3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.4 blocks per game, has now received a four-year 50 million contract. He has become another millionaire in the NBA.

In a similar situation, Luol Deng and Mozgov were offered by the Lakers for 4 years of 72 million and 4 years of 65 million respectively.

Even the little-known Kent Bazemore received a 4-year 70 million offer from the Eagles.

The jaw-dropping quotations made this year's free agent trading market only open for one day, and the transaction amount has exceeded 1 billion.

And this situation not only did not decrease the next day, but intensified.

The Magic and Evan Fournier reached a five-year, 85 million offer contract;

The Raptors and the Magic reached a deal, and the Magic management signed Bisman Biyombo with a four-year offer of 72 million;

Hassan Whiteside jumped out of the contract and became a free agent, and then reached a contract extension with the Heat. The contract is about 4 years and 98 million;

…

There is only one main theme this summer, that is, as long as you hit the roll call last season, you can reap a lot of money.

The ten million contract is no longer a dream, and the renewal of the maximum salary is not undisputable!

Overnight, money really didn't seem to be money anymore.
