Chapter 209 Trading Markets
Then the Warriors selected Spanish center Marc Gasol with the 46th overall pick. Buy out the contract with your own money.

In the case that the Warriors are currently short of insiders, it is another unexpected choice for them to choose Gasol, who cannot immediately land in the NBA.

In this year's draft, the Warriors selected two inside players, and many fans have already seen some clues.

The team management also flew to Spain as soon as possible to deal with Gasol's contract, hoping that he can join the Warriors as soon as possible.

At the beginning, Gasol did not agree to enter the NBA immediately, because his elder brother said that he was not strong enough to gain a foothold in the NBA, and the big white pig had to lose weight and gain muscle, which was a very difficult process.

But after being persuaded by the Warriors management, Gasol still decided to spend money to buy out his brother's contract and land in the NBA, because he said late that he could help Gasol to draw up a targeted weight loss plan, which made Gasol very excited. up.

The progress of Wade and James after training with Wandu is obvious to all, especially Wang Zhizhi, who has only trained with Wandu for a summer, and his performance in this year's finals is very impressive. Gasol also wants to train with Wandu!
After dealing with Gasol's contract, the NBA free market has also opened.

I was late and took Tian Ying back to China to visit my parents. In addition, other Warriors players still have some activities in China to participate in.

Al Horford has a very high emotional intelligence. He had asked for a late call from the management early on, asking if he had any training suggestions for him.

Seeing how proactive he is late, I suggest that he practice three-point shooting and supporting passing, and he may even get the starting position by then!

The Rockets moved quickly. They sent the useless Juwan Howard to the Timberwolves long before the free market opened, and brought back old general Mike James and forward Justin Reid from Minnesota.

Don't look at Alexander as a miser, in fact, Morey is doing pretty well, at least he is desperately trying to find ways to strengthen the team.

But the real big news is the Ray Allen deal.

On June 6, the Sonics sent away their outside core, super three-point shooter Ray Allen and this year's second-round pick, Glenn Davis, and sent them to the Celtics in the East. The latter sent point guard West, forward Szczerbiak and a future draft pick plus some cash to Seattle.

The transaction was completed very quickly, and the transaction had already been officially announced before many media outlets heard about it.

Some media speculate that the Celtics will make big moves!

The Rockets continued their reinforcement plan. They used a future second-round pick and some cash to trade power forward Carl Landry from the Trail Blazers. It was a surprise.

But the Rockets supporters are very happy, at least this proves that the team still wants to continue to compete for the championship.

As long as Yao Ming can stay healthy, the Rockets will still be one of the most competitive teams in the West.

On the same day, the Bobcats also made a big deal.

They sent the No. 8 pick this year, Brandon Wright from North Carolina, to the Magic in exchange for Jason Richardson, who had previously played for the Warriors, and the second-round pick picked by the Magic this year. Forward Rayshawn Terry, in order to achieve salary parity, the Bobcats also sent a special transaction worth 1000 million dollars.

It is impossible to say who will win and who will lose in this deal, but Jason Richardson's strength has declined, and whether it can be worth the price is still open to question.

The next few days were news of some rookie players getting signed, which is not worth mentioning.

By July 7, the Rockets completed the key signing. Billups, the team's outside core, agreed to the Rockets' offer and signed a five-year, $8 million contract with the Rockets.

It can only be said that Morey is really good. An FMVP like Billups actually only gets an average annual contract of less than 1200 million, making a fortune.

On July 7, another blockbuster deal was born.

The Seattle Supersonics and the Magic reached a sign-and-trade agreement. Lewis, one of the three muskets, signed a five-year, nearly 5 million contract with the Supersonics and was sent to the Magic. This shows how determined the Supersonics are to rebuild. resolute.

The next day, the Magic team completed a key contract renewal. They completed the contract renewal with the inside core Dwight Howard. Happy Spark Beast got a five-year contract with a total value of more than 8500 million US dollars!

This is Hei Dad, even if Howard doesn't have such dominance at all, but he can get such a high price.

Look at Yao Ming again, won two championships, one FMVP and one MVP, but the contract value is still lower than that of Happy Spark Beast.

On July 7, another "big fish" found its next home.The half-human and half-god Vince Carter reached a contract extension with the Nets, reaching a five-year contract with a total amount of $14 million.However, only the first four years of this contract are guaranteed contracts, worth 8000 million. The Nets' contract is not good at first glance.

On July 7, the Rockets signed a contract with former All-Star veteran Francis for a two-year contract with a total value of 21 million US dollars!

The big brother who led Yao Ming back then, now returned to Aerospace City in desperation, is really embarrassing. The waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead, and the waves before died on the beach.

On the same day, the Lakers announced the signing of Derek Fisher, the old vacancy, which made Chinese fans very unhappy, because it meant that Sun Yue had an extra competitor.

As for Fisher, hehe, his character is so bad, it doesn't matter if he doesn't mention it.

On August 8st, the real blockbuster deal is coming!
Kevin Garnett has officially joined the Celtics!

The Celtics use Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, Ryan Gomez, Telfair, and Ratliff to take the two first-round picks in 2009 (the top three picks in the draft are protected), plus The way of making up the difference with cash completed the deal for the Wolf King.

When they heard the news, the alliance was shocked!

Danny Ainge is so good that he formed the Big Three lineup quietly.

The combination of Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen is terrifying to think about.

Some fans think that it is unfair for these three to form a team, and they are suspected of being together at the peak.

But some fans also said that the Big Three of the Celtics are already veterans. How can this be called a group? This is obviously just to realize a dream.

Hehe, Garnett is 31 years old, Pierce is 30 years old, Ray Allen is also 31 years old, so can they be considered veterans?

As long as they have a little self-discipline, don't go outside to have fun, and insist on training, even if they play for another 4 or 5 years, it will not be a problem.

Moreover, the Celtics formed the Big Three, and Chinese fans expressed their displeasure.

Because Yi Jianlian is a rookie for the Celtics!
He is a power forward player. Even if he performed well in college, it is impossible to compete with Garnett. How much playing time he can get is still unknown.

However, what fans don't know is that when the Celtics formed the Big Three, the Celtics management had already contacted Yi Jianlian's agent, saying that they would try their best to ensure that his playing time would not be less than 20 minutes!

This is the average playing time of a rookie, 20 minutes is a lot!
Moreover, playing next to the Big Three, Yi Jianlian does not have to bear such a huge pressure at all, which is definitely good news for him who is relatively introverted.

In addition, there is Garnett beside the Celtics. This superstar player who once had conflicts with being late, but eventually became a dog-licker, he will definitely take care of Yi Jianlian, so the problem of Yi Jianlian's foothold in the Celtics is completely unnecessary. Worry.

In fact, Garnett is the most innocent one. He was sprayed by the fans and hugged him. In fact, Garnett himself didn't even know that he would be traded to the Celtics.

That's right!

This is real!

Garnett once expressed his willingness to spend the rest of his life in the Timberwolves, even if he can't win a championship.

But he once sprayed Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor in public, saying that the guy is a cheapskate and doesn't understand basketball at all.

Taylor is indeed a cheapskate. He once said that he would retire Garnett's jersey after he retired.However, after Garnett sprayed him, Taylor never mentioned it again.

It just so happens that the Timberwolves are in poor condition this year, Taylor wants to rebuild, and trading Garnett is inevitable.

The Lakers also want to get Garnett. Their offer is Odom and Bynum, but the Timberwolves obviously feel that this bargaining chip is not good enough-attention is not good enough, not worth enough.

In addition, Timberwolves coach McHale has a very good personal relationship with Danny Angie, so Angie is very clear about the thoughts of the Timberwolves boss. With Al Jefferson as the core, plus a lot of other players and draft picks, the Timberwolves are immediately impressed. .

When McHale showed Garnett the trade plan, Garnett made it clear that he didn't want to be traded.

But what's the use of it?
In the end, Garnett was traded to the Celtics, completing the feat of 1 for 7.

In fact, Garnett's inner thought is that if he is traded, he would rather be traded to the Warriors!

Even if it is being late as the second master, Garnett can accept it.

He was really "beaten" by being late.

It can only be said that Danny Ainge's hands and eyes are in the sky, and all the big deals in the league this year have been monopolized by the Celtics.

Half a month after completing Garnett's deal, the Celtics announced the completion of the contract with Yi Jianlian.
According to the league's new rules in 05, the first-round rookie contract has changed from 2+2 to 2+1+1, of which the first two years are guaranteed contracts, and the next two years are team options, which need to be negotiated with the players.

When he learned that the Celtics formed the Big Three, Yi Jianlian was worried about his future. He knew that he could not compete with Garnett, and he was afraid that he would sit on the bench in the Celtics and delay his "leveling". time.

Fortunately, Angie contacted Yi Jianlian's agent early and guaranteed at least 20 minutes of playing time per game, which was considered to appease Yi Jianlian.

When the two parties signed the contract, they also showed Yi Jianlian's future No. 11 jersey.
