Chapter 1,121 The Turbulent Free Market and Poison Contracts!

Ye Si was very concerned about Yao Ming's decision posted online.

He knows the environment in the United States. If a super giant leaves the team, few fans of the original team are willing to accept it.

Whether it's Nuggets fans versus Anthony, or Cavaliers fans versus James, or this year's Heat fans versus James.

The vicious words should be cursed first, and the jersey should be burned first.

Therefore, Yao Ming, who announced "This is a difficult decision" at Ye Si's home, already knew how much pressure he was facing when he publicly announced this decision.

Ye Si knows that many people on his team hope that he will not announce such a clear decision to find a target, and just go to the Warriors in a low-key manner.

It's just obvious that Yao Ming needs to make a settlement for his career over the past eight years.

And his settlement will never be blessed by Rockets fans.

Maybe Yao Ming himself is very sorry at this time?

After all, I misjudged the generosity of Rockets fans...

Hardly even a blessing.

Fortunately, after the surprise, Warriors fans all reacted and have now begun to gather on Yao Ming's Twitter to start a fight with Houston fans.

For Warriors fans, this is definitely the happiest day.

Because it is July 1st soon, it is impossible for NBA fans to sleep at this time, they are all waiting.

Waiting and waiting, I didn’t expect such a big fish to come!

After all, Yao Ming was the closest to the Clippers and Timberwolves before, and the Warriors and Trail Blazers were the second tier.

Warriors fans who have recovered from the surprise have begun to spontaneously defend Yao Ming. The fighting power of Warriors fans may be slightly stronger than that of Lakers fans, but they are still at the level of transparency in the NBA.

Fortunately, Rocket's own butt has never been clean.

"Do you think you are the Seattle SuperSonics? Demanding bottomless loyalty from others? Do you deserve it?! You also deserve the unreserved loyalty of your players? x-on:Olajuwon, x-on:T-Mac, big brother, Come out and show these SBs!"

For a time, Yao Ming's Twitter was filled with chaos. Soon, Yao Ming's decision ranked first in the trending searches on both domestic Weibo and American Twitter.

Yao Ming lost to the Warriors, and it can be said that the biggest fish in this year's free agent market also fell into the bag.

There are many superstars whose contracts have expired this year, including Wade, Nowitzki, James, Yao Ming, and Yes. However, Ye, Wade and Nowitzki will definitely renew their contracts with their original teams, and James He has been having an affair with the Cavaliers for a long time, so only Yao Ming's destination has the most hype value.

Now Yao Ming has also announced his whereabouts.

Plus Anthony was traded to the Cavaliers.

This means that in this year's free market, all the super giant fish have their names.

Of course, this is perhaps the best summer of free agency in history.

Although the super giants have all ended their focus, the fact that the super giants have ended their choices means that the NBA's free market this year has fully opened.

When a superstar like Yao Ming is on the free market, it is difficult for other superstars and All-Stars to compete with Yao Ming, and it is also difficult for other teams to focus on other All-Stars and superstars.

Therefore, those superstars and All-Star free agents are all waiting for Yao Ming's decision.

After Yao Ming's decision was made, it was time for them to stand on the center stage and bargain with other teams.

Moreover, in this year's free market, there are really many superstars and All-Stars.

For example, the Heat suffered a major defeat in the finals this year.

In this year's free market, the Heat are definitely the most embarrassing team.

With the Heat's current salary level, even if James leaves, they won't be able to sign big names with big contracts.

Not only is there no room to sign big names to continue to maintain the strength of the team.

Moreover, except for Wade, most of the star players on the team are also changing their minds.

For example, Chris Bosh has long announced that he will leave the Heat.

He also announced long ago that he hopes to return to his hometown of Texas.

After being cuckolded by his wife, his son was left to be taken care of by his mother back home.

Chris Bosh, who is hurt both professionally and emotionally, really needs the comfort and comfort of his hometown.

As an unrestricted free agent, Chris Bosh can choose to join three hometown teams: the Spurs, Mavericks and Rockets.

The Spurs and Rockets definitely have space, and the Mavericks, although they also have space, have to send away Monta Alice, plus second center Dampier's contract expires this year, and Nowitzki's contract expires and his extension is postponed. , in theory, the Mavericks can sign any super giant this year and have room to spare.

Chris Bosh's salary is also at the super-giant level, that's for sure.

But with Nowitzki, it's not cost-effective to match Bosh with a huge salary. The marginal benefit is too low.

Therefore, according to the needs of Chris Bosh and the needs of the top three Texas, as long as he is willing, he can directly join the Spurs and Rockets.

Even the Rockets hope that Chris Bosh will make an earlier decision in order to keep Yao Ming.

But Chris Bosh just kept putting it off.

Ye Si knew that Roy was almost gritting his teeth at Chris Bosh's delay.

Why gnash your teeth?

If Chris Bosh has feelings for the Heat, Roy will definitely not bite the bullet.

The key is that Chris Bosh doesn't have feelings for the Heat, but for the Heat's Bird Quan!

Chris Bosh doesn't want to stay with the Heat, but he's also reluctant to part with his Bird Rights and hopes to sign a maximum contract.

The Heat have also seized on this, although it is impossible to rob the Spurs or Rockets with unrestricted free agent Chris Bosh.

But I have Bosh's bird rights, and Bosh is greedy enough. Why can't I strive for more benefits for myself?

Between Pat Riley's wild-goose personality and Rocket's tight-knit personality, these two together are a perfect match for each other.

After pulling and pulling, Yao Ming was dragged to the Warriors.

Therefore, Ye Si really hopes that Roy can see clearly the face of the Rockets. The character of this team is already outdated in this era.

Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Artest, such a powerful Rocket was stunned to achieve what it is now.

After all, the Rockets don't deserve to have a giant team.

It's just that Roy's character...

Roy is willing to sink the ship with the team.

Whether he's at Garfield High School or in the Rockets, he hasn't changed much.

Even Anthony Washington and Simmons pointed at Roy in front of Roy and called him a fool.

The Heat have the exception of Chris Bosh, whose contract has expired and is leaving.

For example, Ray Allen signed a contract with the Heat for six years, but Ray Allen came to the Heat just for the championship. In addition, the Heat cheated O'Neal last year and promised to let O'Neal leave if he did not win the championship. Pat Riley played a trick, so the contract signed by Ray Allen and the Heat said in black and white that if the Heat did not win the championship, Ray Allen had the right to jump out of the contract at any time.

In addition, the Heat's center Chandler also has the right to break out of his contract at any time.

In 2008, Chandler backed Paul out of his contract with the Thunder and joined the Heat because he was bewitched by James.

James came to the Heat with a two-year contract.

So Chandler is not stupid. Although he signed a four-year, 60 million contract with the Heat, it was a 2+2 contract.

Just to see what happens after James fulfills his two-year contract. If James is willing to stay in the Heat, of course he can continue to stay. If James is not willing to stay in the Heat...

He left the Thunder for the championship. If it wasn't for the championship, why would he backstab his friend Paul and the Thunder?

Now that James is gone, the Heat obviously have no hope of a championship.

If I don't leave now, will I sink the ship with the Heat?

Obviously, the Heat don't deserve it.

Although Chandler won the runner-up in all the finals in the past two years.

But this is not without any benefit.

The good thing is that his exposure in the past two years with the Heat has been very high, much higher than when he was with the Thunder.

In addition, he and Milicic fell in love with each other in the finals in the past two years. Last year, he even hung Milicic in the air in the finals, which meant that the SuperSonics won the championship in the end. Otherwise, his whip would have been on Milicic. If it's on your body, that means you'll be beaten.

Forcing Milicic to change from an unconventional handsome bad guy to a greasy pork belly, Chandler has become famous.

Chandler is different from Chris Bosh. He doesn't care about bird rights or not, not to mention that at his level, bird rights can't bring him a maximum salary.

Therefore, he announced his decision to opt out of the contract long ago. In addition, due to the reputation of falling in love with Milicic in the past two years, many teams have offered him olive branches.

Since it is for the championship, the Eastern Conference teams must not be considered.

Whether it's Wade's Heat or James' Cavaliers, Chandler now understands it.

Damn it, the Heat have been so strong in the past two years but have not been able to win a championship. Now that Wade and James are separated, even if they reach the finals again with Wade or James, so what, can they beat the teams in the Western Conference? ?

Definitely can’t do it!

Therefore, his targets are only teams in the Western Conference!

Especially the powerful ones in the west.

The SuperSonics have Milicic and Gasol, so they won't want him.

The Grizzlies have Oden and Gasol, so they won't want him either.

And the Lakers...

The Lakers really want him, and he is willing to join the Lakers, but the Lakers can only offer a basic salary!

Therefore, although there are many teams that invite him, except for the two jobs in hand, there are basically no suitable ones.

Dallas Mavericks…

The Dallas Mavericks have qualified strength and qualified salary, but he needs to go to the Mavericks to compete with Kwame Brown for the starting spot.

The San Antonio Spurs have a qualified salary. Once they go there, they will be able to start, and their position requirements are also qualified, but their strength...

Chandler looked at the report from the Spurs that attracted him.

"We will have the league's new MVP+FMVP+scoring champion as our boss next season!"

"We will have two MVP+FMP players next season!"

Looking at this report that was allegedly written by Popovich, Chandler had a toothache.

Damn it, if the Spurs still had Parker and Ginobili, plus Duncan and Steve Jackson, he would join the Spurs directly without saying a word!

But now, it's okay to throw away Parker and Ginobili and replace them with Rondo.

You actually regard Rondo as the boss of the team next season?

Are you crazy? !

He had always heard that Popovich now has some Alzheimer's disease.

He didn't quite believe it before, but now, he really believes that Popovich does have some Alzheimer's disease.

What kind of person is Rondo? Doesn’t he still understand after playing two finals with the SuperSonics?

Even if this guy's statistics take off again, he is still a piece of trash who is not worthy of being the boss of any team!

Since you regard Rondo as a treasure and make Rondo your boss, why don't you make me, Tyson Chandler, your boss?

After finally throwing the Spurs' report aside, Chandler picked up the Mavericks' invitation statement.

Kwame Brown is a very strong center. In 2001, Kwame Brown was the No. 1 pick and he was the second pick.

But on defense, Tyson Chandler is not afraid of any competitors. The key is on offense. Kwame Brown's current offense is indeed stronger than him.

Heading to the Dallas Mavericks?

Do you want to continue competing with Kwame Brown?

Tyson Chandler finally made up his mind.

After Yao Ming's decision was completed, at this time many superstars and star players in the NBA could not sleep, waiting to decide their fate.

It’s not just Ray Allen and Tyson Chandler.

Also included is the Eagles’ leading player, Joe Johnson.

Wizards' swingman Caron Butler, Grizzlies' Mike Miller, etc.

And in Houston, at Roy's house.

Roy is now looking at Rockets general manager Dawson in silence.

The atmosphere was very solemn.

Yao Ming's departure has put the Rockets in an extremely difficult situation.

Yao Ming's departure left more than just Yao Ming himself.

Rockets head coach Adelman and Rockets forward Gerald Wallace have both decided to leave.

Such a powerful rocket fell apart in just two years.

Roy's resentment and anger towards the Rockets management can be imagined.

Although he has decided to renew his contract with the Rockets.

He even decided on his own Twitter.

However, he is not without his own anger.

"You have the right to make any decision. For me, I have only one request. I will never be teammates with Chris Bosh!"

Dawson left Roy's house with a heavy heart.

The past two years have been really eventful.

The deputy general manager of the Rockets who he had once appointed as his successor died on the beach in Seattle. It is not known whether he committed suicide or was accidentally struck by lightning.

It has not yet been determined whether he committed suicide and floated on the sea and was struck by lightning, or whether he died at sea after being struck by lightning.

After the mysterious death of his successor, he, who was already preparing to retire, had so much energy to face a championship-level team full of giants.

It can be said that one bad move came after another.

It's like turning such a good team into what it is now.

It can be said that it is not only the boss who has made the Rockets what they are now, but he also has an unshirkable responsibility.

Therefore, he was willing to bear Roy's anger.

But Roy's request...

well.

"Carol, it seems Roy has made up his mind..."

Yes, Roy is very determined.

Roy is a player with a clear distinction between love and hate. He likes it very much. At a time when everyone is rushing to jump off the ship with the Rockets, Roy is willing to sink the ship with the Rockets. How can people dislike such a person? Respect?

Even if it was him, no matter how angry Roy was, he wouldn't have any complaints.

But that's Chris Bosh!

A free agent, a native of Texas, with outstanding talent and strong potential. He is only 26 years old like Roy. More importantly, Chris Bosh is healthier than Roy!

Even if Roy's knees haven't been injured yet, they still make everyone in the Rockets tremble.

Now Roy says there's absolutely no way he and Chris Bosh can coexist, which makes it difficult for them.

"Carroll, now is no longer the time to hesitate. Although according to various sources, Chris Bosh is not the first choice target of the Dallas Mavericks, the Dallas Mavericks have not given up on Chris Bosh. "Reese Bosh was so hesitant not only because of the Bird rights and the max salary, but also because he wanted to go to his true hometown team the Dallas Mavericks most."

Texas is Chris Bosh's hometown, but Dallas, Texas is Chris Bosh's hometown.

If the Dallas Mavericks really feel that Chris Bosh can play center, or even better than Kwame Brown at center, the Mavericks are likely to turn.

"I see."

After being reminded by her assistant, Carol Dawson sighed heavily in her heart.

This is the NBA. Nothing is perfect. Whether it's the players or management like them, they are all making decisions all the time.

No one can say for sure whether these decisions will succeed or fail.

We can only keep moving forward in this trend without knowing the outcome of progress.

With Yao Ming's decision shocking the entire league and the world, other NBA teams can finally start their own operations after Yao Ming is completely sacked.

When July 1st came, the first one to react was the Kings, who were robbed of the draft and lost Cousins.

The Kings announced the introduction of former 76ers center Dalembert.

Immediately afterwards, the Bucks also announced the signing of former Cavaliers insider Drew Gooden for 40 million in five years.

At the same time, on July 2, the Cavaliers announced the dismissal of the team's head coach Mike Brown, and announced that the Thunder's head coach, Byron Scott, would become the team's new head coach. At the Cavaliers' new coach conference , Byron Scott was smiling from ear to ear.

Finally left the Western Conference where even with 60 wins they could only be eighth in the Western Conference!

Mike Brown, who left the Cavaliers, announced that he would join the Golden State Warriors as an assistant coach and become the defensive assistant coach of the Warriors' new head coach Cole.

At the same time, on the same day, Hawks star player Joe Johnson rejected the 6-year, 120 million contract offered by the Hawks, and Joe Johnson announced that he would join the Wizards as a free agent to join forces with Arenas.

For a time, because the Heat were about to disband, the Eastern Conference, which was full of talents, made the Wizards feel like they were happy to rise to the top and stand out from the crowd.

On July 4, news related to the Seattle SuperSonics finally appeared in the NBA's free market.

And this news has made the already turbulent NBA free market even more turbulent!

The San Antonio Spurs are interested in Wesley Matthews, the two-way contract player of the Seattle SuperSonics last season. They will compete with the Seattle SuperSonics and offered Matthews a contract worth 15 million in the first three years and 16 million in the fourth year. Poison Contract'.

It's nothing to pay 31 million for four years to force Matthews.

The point is that this contract is a bit toxic.

The whole world knows that the Sonics are not short of money. With a normal four-year contract of 31 million and an average salary of more than 7 million, as long as the Sonics want to retain people, there is no pressure at all.

But the Spurs' move was a bit vicious.

The average salary is not high, but the fourth-year salary was given to Matthews at 16 million, which is higher than the salaries of Milicic and Millsap.

This is a clear message to the SuperSonics that if you keep Matthews, then wait to break the team's salary balance.

Even if you have money, it depends on how much money you have to burn.

The annual salary of the 16th-ranked player on a substitute team last season was 16 million. How much should the others be?

Don't worry about scarcity but inequality.

The Seattle SuperSonics are already a dynasty team.

The dynasty team is the pinnacle of honor in the NBA. In addition, the SuperSonics also completed a complete victory and won the championship. It can be said that the pursuit of glory of most of the SuperSonics players has reached its peak.

The pursuit of team honors to the top means that players will focus on their personal treatment.

Regardless of the amount of his salary or the status of the team, it can be said that this is personal treatment and pursuit.

"Bobo, your move is really good!"

Take the fire out of the cauldron!

In the Spurs general manager's office, Spurs general manager Buford gave Popovich a thumbs up.

"The SuperSonics are the biggest obstacle for the Spurs on their way to the championship next season. Many people ask why the Sonics don't make a big splash in the free market. As a dynasty team, the most important thing is not to swallow up free agents, but to maintain unity and motivation for progress. Free agents who have made great contributions to the Sonics are paid higher salaries than those players who have made great contributions to the Sonics. What does this make the original players in the Sonics think? What's more, these people are their losers. Originally, I was looking forward to the SuperSonics. The Sonics can sign one or two All-Stars or superstar-level free agents to break the team's balance. It's a pity that Mr. Nelson is really sophisticated. Except for Yao Ming and Nowitzki Anthony, these free agents who really conquered the Sonics, a None moved."

"Since Mr. Nelson is not moving, then I will help him move!"

Popovich said with a smile, those coconut fans and SuperSonics fans are really ridiculous. They couldn't understand Nelson's intentions at all, and they urged them to sign people for the SuperSonics one by one.

This is not to strengthen the SuperSonics, this is suicide!

I have to say that his teacher is really great. After all, he is a direct descendant of the Celtics, the first dynasty in the NBA. No one in the entire NBA knows how to maintain the stability of a dynasty better than him.

"But, Bobo, if the Seattle SuperSonics don't follow us, will they really eat Matthews?"

"Although Matthews' strength and potential are not very good, Yes trained him well last season and he is a usable player. Although the contract is a bit high, it is still acceptable."

Popovich said with a smile.

He wants to clear all obstacles for Rondo, for Tim, and for the Spurs' dynasty to start next season!

And the Seattle SuperSonics is one of the obstacles he must clear!

Since the teacher is unwilling to commit suicide, the apprentice should help the teacher use the knife!

Although Matthews became famous last season, he was not a star player.

But the Spurs' poisonous contract temporarily made his name even surpass the hottest player in the free market, Chris Bosh.

because……

"The Spurs are really underhanded. If they don't get it right, the Seattle SuperSonics will be in civil strife."

Jerry West shook his head in surprise.

Finally, someone finally used such a sinister trick...
