NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 214 Free Market Strategy
Los Angeles.

A spacious and bright office, with tall floor-to-ceiling windows showing the scenery outside the window. Both the sofa and the coffee table are made of extremely high-end materials.

Even an inconspicuous ornament on your desk costs tens of thousands of dollars.

"This can be called the president's office. The one in the Timberwolves can only be called the office area."

Su Chen, who was sitting on the leather sofa, thought happily.

Ballmer has obviously renovated the team. The former owner of the Clippers is not so heroic. He is a famous iron rooster in the league.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

"Please come in."

Listening to the knock on the door, Su Chen sat upright slightly.

"President, I brought you the documents you asked for."

The speaker was Mark Hughes.

Mark Hughes previously served as assistant general manager.

Now that Su Chen has taken over as president, he has been transferred as the president's assistant.

"It's so fast, thank you for your hard work."

Suchen smiled and picked up the document in Mark Hughes' hand.

Here's a list of this year's free agents.

The big fish in the free market this year are both more and less.

Many members of the 03 generation entered the free market this summer.

James, Wade, Anthony and others have become free agents.

But Su Chen knew that it would be very difficult for the Clippers to get these big fish.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about James. Suchen knows that he will definitely go to the Cavaliers. He has already won a championship with the Heat and needs to return to his hometown to prove himself.

If Su Chen could defeat James a year in advance and prevent James from even winning the championship from the Thunder, then it might be possible to recruit James.

Wade and Bosh basically have to renew their contracts with the Heat. Moreover, both of them have declined a lot, and Su Chen doesn't really want to sign.There is nothing to say about Nowitzki and Duncan. These team achievements must be due to the renewal of the contract with the parent team.

Luol Deng has become an unrestricted free agent, but on the one hand, next season will be the season when he really starts to decline. On the other hand, Luol Deng performed well in the finals.

For players who perform well in the finals, some teams with salary space will offer high salaries to grab them.

So Luol Deng Suchen didn't think about it either.

Among other unrestricted free agents, the one Suchen still likes is Anthony.

This is a serious New York melon, and he has a peak tail for one or two seasons. Su Chen still likes him in terms of ability.

Just wanting to sign Anthony through free agency is still unrealistic.

There are actually quite a few teams that are suitable for Anthony to compete for the championship this season, but Anthony has no choice but to renew his contract with the Knicks.

The Knicks didn't make the playoffs last season.

The Knicks' current lineup is simply wishful thinking to compete for the championship. The reason why Anthony gave up so many teams and chose the Knicks is because he values ​​money.

The maximum salary that the Knicks can get by renewing the contract is much higher than the maximum salary that other teams can offer, a five-year maximum salary extension contract of 5 million.

But it’s not true to say that Anthony doesn’t want to win the championship at all. He is the typical type who wants both.

I need both money and a championship, but money will take priority.

"If you want to get Anthony, you have to negotiate a sign-and-trade with the Knicks. Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to recruit Anthony through normal recruitment."

Su Chen shook his head.

As for other restricted free agents, Suchen didn't take a closer look.

If there is a trade, the Knicks will definitely have to offer chips before they agree.

However, Su Chen is not worried about not being able to impress the Knicks. The Knicks actually don't value Anthony that much. They just have the advantage of being able to offer Anthony a big maximum salary.

The New York Melon's current fighting power is still worth the price.

If the Knicks really value Anthony so much, the Thunder won't be able to replace Anthony.
