Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 693: Free agency opens

The Nets players whose contracts have expired are divided into three categories. One is that the team wants to stay, but does not want to destroy the future team building plan, and then there are some disagreements. The team's starting shooting guard Fernandez, power forward Wes Special are among them. The former wants a 3 to 4-year ten million contract, while the team is only willing to give a short 2-year contract. The latter accepted a 2-year contract, but could not agree with the team on salary. The team is still actively talking to Fernandez, but for now, the departure of these two people is a high probability event.

The second is the players who have made up their minds to leave the team. Yi Jianlian has already made a decision to return to the CBA. Little Curry does not want to continue living in the shadow of his brother, so he decides to go out and make a fortune on his own. In the last two years of his career, he won two championships in a row. After realizing his dream, Hill also chose to retire, but he accepted Jiang Mingliang's invitation and will continue to stay in the team as a trainer.

Finally, there are players who are not sure whether to stay in the team and need to weigh various factors before making a decision, including Claude, Butler, and Ray Allen. On Ray Allen's side, the team certainly hopes that he will stay on the team. The veteran has performed quite well in the playoffs, and he is very self-disciplined and professional, and is a good example for his teammates. However, the Nets will definitely not continue to offer him a salary of 6 million, only the veteran base salary.

With so many players leaving in one go, shock may be inevitable. However, it is a taboo to renew a contract without a brain and a high salary, especially under the management system of the NBA. Jiang Mingliang is not afraid to pay the luxury tax, but the potential crisis of the super luxury tax is still very scary. The players in front of them are not the ones who deserve to be ignored and ruin the future plans by throwing money at random.

In principle, the decision to avoid tax in the next season was made, Jiang Mingliang and Stevens. Thomas also needs to discuss the team's next signing goals. The team's current lineup includes seven players Curry, Lopez, Leonard, McCollum, Hinrich, Boban, Green, plus the unsigned rookie Porzingis, a total of eight. people. There is still a lot of room for reinforcement.

"In the point guard position, Curry and Hinrich can basically ensure the normal operation of the team. McCollum can also appear in this position. In principle, you don't have to worry too much, but if possible, sign a physical fitness. A better defensive back, bringing more changes to the team is also a good decision." Stevens gave such advice.

Thomas immediately wrote hard in his notebook. Such a positioning is not easy to attract good players. It needs Jiang Mingliang and Thomas Shari to pan for gold and find out the candidates.

On the team's flanks, there are only McCollum and Leonard, which is obviously not enough. Under the circumstances that the team's development strategy has changed and Ray Allen can no longer provide a high salary, he may not choose to stay on the team. As for Claude and Butler, the former depends on the price, and the latter is basically abandoned by the team.

"The Celtics' Bradley's contract expires this season. They have Rondo, Smart, and Joe Johnson in this position. We can try to make an offer to see the situation. Maybe there is a chance?" When it was determined that Thompson and Bill could not be obtained, Jiang Mingliang took Bradley into consideration.

"I don't think the Celtics will let it go. They value Bradley very much," Stevens said. "I have a selfish choice, Hayward of the Utah Jazz."

The Jazz, which has a large number of young talents, is also facing a lot of pressure to renew contracts. The contracts of Hayward and Favors have expired this season. The team has reached a four-year, 64 million contract with Favors. He also reached a contract with Thompson in advance of a maximum salary extension. The pressure increased sharply, and for Hayward, he was asked to find an offer in the free agency market, and the team had no brains to match.

It is said to be a no-brainer match, but if it is a no-brainer match, wouldn't it be better to give a maximum salary or a quasi-maximum salary directly?

Although Hayward is more accustomed to the position of small forward, he can swing to the second position. He is excellent in offense and defense, has the ability to organize offense, and has strong physical confrontation. He is known as the white James, and he plays very well in the game. A quasi-professional player, and his wife is also very pretty. . . . . . Anyway, if the Jazz really don't match, the Nets will have nothing to lose if they eat him. Hayward is Stevens's old general, and he is afraid of not adapting to the team's tactics? Compared to Fernandez, this is definitely an upgrade. Anyway, the Nets have enough salary space. If you increase the salary pressure on the Jazz, maybe it will force the Jazz to release some people in the future?

As for the supplement of the inside line, Jiang Mingliang has a clear candidate. The contract of Bertans, who had been stocked in Europe for three years, with the parent team has ended, and the progress has been obvious. It is a logical thing to join the team next season. This inside anti-aircraft artillery tower has a strong shooting ability. If the running-in is good, the help to the team should be above Yi Jianlian.

On July 1, the free agency market officially opened, and Willie Green became the first player to complete the contract. The Magic took away the combo guard with a one-year, 1.3 million basic salary contract, and started the competition. chapter. Then, last season, the Pistons, who made it to the Eastern Conference semi-finals, signed veteran Kenyon Martin, who is also a veteran minimum salary.

After the appetizing dessert, some highly sought after players have finalized their next homes one after another. Lowry, Randolph, and Gortat each accepted a large contract of tens of millions to stay with the parent team, while the 76ers team Hawes joined the Lakers with a four-year, $23 million contract, replacing Kaman, who went to the Blazers, as the team's starting center.

Hayward went out to find a big contract, and the Nets immediately sent a four-year, 64 million offer with a team option, and handed the option to the Jazz.

Everyone knows that Hayward and Nets head coach Stevens have a close relationship. After the Nets contract with Fernandez ended ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ There was indeed a vacuum in the flank position, and Hayward joined It's simply logical.

After struggling for a long time, the Jazz finally gritted their teeth and chose to match. It is not easy for a team in a small market to rebuild. The players they cultivated are really reluctant to give up casually. The Jazz really lack competitiveness in the free agency market.

Missing out on Hayward, the Nets are targeting Celtics combo guard Bradley again. The team gave Bradley a three-year, $27 million contract. Ainge's response to this was very straightforward, 4 years, 36 million, fully guaranteed, without options, which directly disintegrated the Nets' poaching plan.

16 million in 2 years (player option), West announced on his personal Twitter that he was about to join the Thunder. This news surprised Jiang Mingliang. It was rumored that there were voices in the team who were dissatisfied with the decline of the team's strength, forcing the Thunder to finally agree to. Open the money bag for signings, well, it's not too late to make amends. The Nets' championship lineup looks to be unraveling, and for the Thunder, there are opportunities.

With the passage of time, after the major superstars rubbed their meals everywhere, it became clear that they would go home. Anthony chose the Knicks with the highest offer among the Lakers, Bulls, and Knicks. The huge five-year contract of 124 million is too TMD fragrant. Gasol, who was determined to end his career with the Lakers, chose the Bulls' 3-year, 24 million (player option) contract to be slightly cheaper. It can only be said that Chicago's good opera culture is very attractive to the Spaniards. Fernandez was attracted to a three-year, $45 million contract with the Cavaliers. You know, Fernandez negotiated with other teams and asked for a 3-year 39 million or 4-year 48 million, the Cavaliers are really too generous.
