The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 308 The era of small balls has arrived
Negotiations did not go well.

Because of the rise of Jimmy Butler, the Bulls don't have to have James.

And next season, Rose 1886 million, Boozer 1355 million, Noah 1220 million, Gibson 800 million, Gasol 713 million, which is almost 6000 million.

If you give James 2000 million and pay more than 2000 million in luxury taxes at the same time, the Bulls' dollars are not blown by the wind...

The Bulls did not dare to take this risk until the emperor had proved that he had the physique of a champion.

Throw out 4000 million to fight for a total runner-up?
This is ridiculous!
James' foresight and foresight made Anthony.

It is also the 2003 platinum generation, and there is no championship bonus, but James, who has won two regular season MVPs, is depreciating, while Melon is appreciating.

He averaged 27.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game last season. He scored only less than Tu Man, but more than James.

Of course, the contribution and influence on the team are incomparable on Melon.

But he doesn't have the black spot of diarrhea in the finals?

He never played in the finals!
Therefore, James is choosing, and the powerhouses are also choosing.

James' negotiations are very complicated. He not only wants a maximum salary, but also asks the team to promise to immediately reinforce in the current season and build a championship team.

Who can bear this?
The Phoenix Dynasty is like a big mountain, pressing firmly on top of the head. Who can build a "Guan Champion Team"?
So, they turned to Anthony.

At least he just wants money, not life...

Among the many suitors, the Bulls, Lakers, and Mavericks offer almost the same offer to Anthony, which is close to a four-year maximum salary contract of 9600 million US dollars.

If it is longer, I will not give it.

After all, Anthony is also 30 years old, and he will be 34 years old in four years. Who knows how long this fiery state can last?

In the end, the Knicks kept Melon for 5 million in 1.2 years.

This also announced in disguise that they finally withdrew from the harsh battle for the emperor...

The selection leaves only calves and bulls.

Mark Cuban is very persistent in building a lineup. He originally bought a team to play a real-life business game. How could he be checked and balanced by James?
So, he told Rich Paul:
"Maximum salary, how many years you want, how many years you want. But for team building, don't force yourself..."

The same is true for the Bulls. The ready-made lineup is not ready to be rebuilt. Rose can still look forward to it. Butler is thriving again. Why overturn it and start over?
After balancing again and again, James chose the Bulls.

He is really worried about Mark Cuban's ability to build a team, and the Mavericks are now called a nursing home. If they fail to achieve results, they will really fall into their hands...

The two sides signed a two-year 4210 million contract.

James lowered his salary a little bit, although not much, but it can be regarded as showing sincerity.

He set his goal two years later, when the NBA will implement a new TV contract and a new labor contract, and the maximum salary and salary cap will increase significantly.

And, maybe there will be a good chance in two years?

James' "Decision [-]" caught Pat Riley by surprise. He thought he was sure of James, because the Suns couldn't possibly want him. Which team in the league is more competitive than the runner-up?
Who knows, his toughness had the opposite effect.

The tree moves the dead and the living!

Pat Riley panicked. He took the lead in giving Bosh a five-year 5 million contract, and then tried his best to persuade Wade to continue to cut his salary, promising to strengthen the team.

Wade pinched his nose in recognition.

He has suffered from knee injuries in the past two seasons, and his state has plummeted. It is impossible to run around like James and Anthony...

Two years, $3110 million, a contract that humiliates the soul of the team.

Pat Riley broke his promise, where did the third giant come from?

There are only a few big fish in the free agent market, and the hands are fast and the hands are slow, and they have been robbed long ago. He just snatched Luol Deng from the Cavaliers, and he bought beast center Hassan Whiteside from the CBA. ...

What's even more unfortunate is that Bosh, who just got a big contract, only played 44 games before he was found to have a pulmonary thrombosis and announced that he would be reimbursed for the season!

The Heat didn't even make it to the playoffs, who are they worthy of?

The Bulls lineup is bright:

Rose, Butler, James, Gasol, Noah

They also played a suffocating defense for a while, but the surprise in the East did not belong to Chicago, but from Atlanta...

The civilian Spurs second team——

With excellent teamwork and sharp three-pointers, the Atlanta Hawks achieved a proud record of 60 wins and 22 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

The whole team throws 26 three-pointers per game and hits 10 of them. Almost everyone in the starting five can still throw, and the shooting percentage is not low. The lowest is Horford with 30.6%, and the highest is Korver with 49.2% of the three-pointers. Leading the league in field goal percentage!

Coincidentally, the Golden State Warriors also won on three-pointers.

Ku Hao finally upgraded to a perverted quasi-final state. With a baby face, he shot all over the world and became the most popular candidate for MVP.

Naturally, under the leadership of the "Splash Brothers" with 44.3% and 43.9% three-pointers, they became the most promising team under the sun.

Although the style of play is completely opposite to that of the Suns, at first glance, this team is almost impeccable except for the lack of inside, and it is almost impossible to find any weaknesses.

Their offensive efficiency ranks first in the league, they average double-digit wins per game, their field goal percentage ranks second in the league, and their three-point shooting percentage ranks first in the league.

They're even in the top five in the league in terms of rebounding...

With this series of factors superimposed, the Warriors averaged 27 three-pointers per game and made 10.8 of them. They scored 67 wins and 15 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

Of course, the Warriors and Hawks aren't the craziest.

It is the Mosaic team who are most obsessed with three-pointers.

This summer, the magic fat has a clever plan to secure the world, lost his wife and lost his troops, so that Mosaic's prospects this season are very bad, not to mention that they are still suffering from injuries, from Howard to Beverly, from Jones to Motier Junas, Almost hurt all over.

But Harden rose without warning, averaging 10 free throws and 7 three-pointers per game, scoring 27.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.9 assists, leading the Mosaic team to throw 32 three-pointers in a single game. , 56 wins.

After retiring on a huge scale last season, those glorious names in memory are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history, while some brand new names are beginning to enter the room.

Who are the most likely to win the MVP this season?

In addition to brutality:

Curry, Harden, Westbrook, James, Davis...

Except for James, a [-]-year-old man who is anxious, the new generation of superstars are playing in an unprecedented way, and they are beginning to carve up the territory of the league.

Under the persecution of Tu Man, the inside line of the entire league was sluggish and could only go further and further.

Can't beat it, can't I walk around?

With the league's restrictions on the defensive end, outside shots have become easier and easier, and shooters have begun to rise——

The era of small balls has arrived!
