Chapter 658: New pattern of alliance


   All this has a lot to do with Sun Hao's return to Los Angeles.
   Originally, the Magic traded Louis Williams to temporarily appease Howard.
   But Sun Hao this time the Lakers, or as soon as he left the Warriors, his mind changed again.
  Some people may say that there is a connection between the two?
   Of course there is!
   As I said before, if Sun Hao continues to stay in the Warriors, the Warriors dynasty is almost a certainty.
   So after the Magic management responded to their protests and did their best, Howard recognized it.
   After all, no matter how hard it is, the Magic can't beat the Warriors. It's enough to get the respect they want.
   But now that Sun Hao has left, the situation is of course different!
   The Warriors are still very strong, but it's nonsense to say that they are as strong as Sun Hao.
   Or in other words, the Warriors are no longer invincible!
   His uninhibited heart naturally became restless again.
   He asked the management to do more, and even directly asked the management to use Lewis to exchange for a more worthy player.
   But Lewis is now a typical premium contract, where you can get it if you want to change it.
   Let's talk about Lewis itself.
   Orlando can't attract big names because it's small, and it's pretty good to be able to sign Lewis.
   Howard was very happy when he signed to Lewis, and told the management that it was for him to find his best partner.
   After only two years, Xiao Tiantian became Mrs. Cow, and Howard was anxious to kick people away.
   And this is not the first time Howard has done this kind of thing. He has been doing similar things for the past two years.
   In addition to Howard's trouble this time, the Magic management finally decided to put him on the shelves.
   This is undoubtedly another blockbuster since Sun Hao returned to Los Angeles.
   In the past two days, the Magic have listened to offers from multiple teams.
   Howard's trading expectations were also exposed at this time.
   The Magic hope to get a potential inside player in the Howard deal, some immediate combat power, and enough and valuable first rounds.
   This appetite is very big.
   But it is also very reasonable.
   Historically, the Magic got this from Howard’s trade.
   Now, this time node will come one year earlier.
   The younger Howard, the transaction value will naturally only be greater!
   The vast majority of teams in the league are tempted.
   Although Howard has rough skills, Yao Ming has suppressed these shortcomings all the year round.
   But apart from these few points, in other aspects, he is the best among active centers.
   In the words of soul torture: If your parent team has a chance to get Howard, will you refuse?
   I'm afraid that except for the Wizards, no other team will.
   In fact, even the Warriors have approached the Magic to discuss the feasibility of a trade.
   Of course the Lakers have tried.
  Sun Hao returns. If Howard is traded again, the Lakers will form a new dual-core one summer, and the window to win the championship will open again!
   It's just that the Magic's asking price is very high, and the chips given by the Lakers were quickly passed by them.
   Potential trading partners for the Magic were finally locked in the following companies: Grizzlies, Cavaliers, Thunder, Pacers, and Trailblazers.
   What these teams have in common is that there are many young players, and there are also good players in their years.
   As for the issue of draft picks, a third party can solve it.
   The Lakers’ hopes of getting Howard in the trade were dashed, and they turned their attention to free market reinforcement.
   Kupchak quickly locked on the first key figure: Shane Battier.
   Jimmy Butler is known for defensively, but if the Lakers want to produce results, it is obviously not enough to rely on rookies.
   This is also the main reason why they selected Shane.
  He can bring the defensive experience the team needs most to the Lakers, and by the way, he can also become Butler's defensive mentor.
   Of course, the Lakers also hope that Shane's gentle and elegant quality can reshape the image of the Lakers.
   In the past few years, the Lakers have been really chaotic, and the impact has not been good.
   The two parties signed a three-year contract of 12 million U.S. dollars.
   It is worth mentioning that the Lakers did not use their mid-class special case, but directly signed with salary space.
   This means that the middle class of the Lakers is aiming at another goal in the free market.
   This goal also surfaced soon.
   Just two days after Battier signed, the Lakers announced that they had reached a two-year 10 million middle-class contract with Jamal Crawford. The second year of the contract included player options.
   Crawford is 30 years old this year, at the peak of his time, and his annual salary should be more than that.
   However, due to playing style and luck issues, as a Super Six, his career has been turbulent.
   Choosing to join the Lakers is the first time in his career that he has the opportunity to truly compete for the championship.
   So such a contract is not surprising.
   As for the Lakers, there are not many players on the table, especially on the bench.
   Added a Battier, and then added a Crawford, the lineup will be seven or eight.
   Finally, add a reliable inside bench, and the core lineup is basically there.
   At this time, there is some new news about Howard's transaction.
   The Thunder offered Jordan a four-year 40 million contract. The Grizzlies did not choose to match.
   This also means that Jordan will join the Thunder.
   Counting Jeff Green, who had previously renewed his contract, the Thunder will have Westbrook, Green, Griffin, and Jordan Jr. for next season.
   This lineup has a strong presence in the West.
   After this signing is reached, it means that the Thunder have withdrawn from the Howard battle.
   Following the Thunder, the Grizzlies also announced that Gasol was a non-sale item for the team and then withdrew.
   There are teams that have been launched one after another, but it doesn't affect Howard's trading market, because if there are exits, they will naturally join.
   Among the newly added teams, the Clippers have received the most attention.
   The Clippers have not scored for two consecutive years, and Kobe is already at an age.
   Coupled with the pressure brought by Sun Hao's return to the Lakers, they finally became the Los Angeles boss, and they will disappear in a blink of an eye.
   is personally unwilling.
   Under this premise, their joining is naturally a matter of course.
   But because the Clippers do not have the young players the Magic needs, if the two sides really want to trade, there is a high probability that a third party will be attracted.
   This also means that the transaction becomes complicated, and once it becomes complicated, it is not so easy to achieve.
   Although the deal has not yet been reached, this wave of fans' appetite is dwarfed.
   Just like the previous analysis, there were not many free agents this year, and a batch was lost due to the lockout.
   It turned out to be good. Sun Hao fryed the fish, and Howard jumped into the fish pond by himself. This free market is very lively.
   I can only say that the butterfly effect brought by Sun Hao's return to Los Angeles is really too great.
   And this effect is still going on.
   There are many teams that are similar to Howard's ideas and are planning to lie or half-lying next season. At this time, they all started to move.
  The most representative of them is the Lone Ranger Team.
   The Mavericks team was definitely the most surprising team last season.
   Putting aside their unexpected scoring into the West, it is enough for them to remember: They were the only team that won the playoffs with the Warriors last season.
   Or you can understand that if it were not for the Warriors, they would even have a chance to beat the Knicks to win the final championship!
   However, the Mavericks themselves face many problems.
   The age of the core members of the team is too old. Many core players have expired, including Chandler, who built the team's defensive system.
   Chandler is at the peak of his age at 29, and he will have a wave of blood to renew his contract.
   This is not the most critical thing. The most important thing is that even if they renew Chandler, they can't renew other people, their strength will still decline from last season, and naturally they still can't beat the Warriors.
   But now that Sun Hao left, Cuban's mind suddenly changed.
  Simple math question: The Mavericks played 1-4 against the Warriors with Sun Hao in the playoffs last season. Ask them how much winning percentage they have against the Warriors without Sun?
   The answer is definitely more than 50%!
  Sun Hao is the first person in the league with a lot of attention!
   Before Howard was put on the shelf, they also paid attention to it the first time, but unfortunately they didn't have the right bargaining chip.
   Now they have started daily plan B.
   They and Chandler reached a five-year 70 million contract extension.
   This contract has some incentive clauses, such as how many games attended, Chandler can only get the full 70 million.
   But this is already a huge contract.
   You need to know that based on the salary cap, this is already a contract that is close to the maximum salary. A defensive blue-collar getting this kind of contract is enough to show his own ability.
   After signing Chandler, the Mavericks are still very active in the free market. They are actively contacting Kirilenko and want to persuade this all-around forward to join by signing first and then changing.
  The time bar is walking, and several other powerful reinforcements have also begun.
   The Knicks didn't make a big deal in the end, but they signed the center Dalem Porter from Haiti with a mini mid-class.
   This wave is also expected.
  Although they were swept through last season, the Warriors have become weaker, and they have run in for a season, their chances of winning the new season are very high.
   After the Knicks, the Warriors in focus also made their choice.
   They renewed Oden with a four-year, 44 million contract.
   The salary of this contract is lower than many people expected.
   Because many people expect Oden to get a maximum salary contract.
   And the most surprising thing is that no other team offers a larger contract.
   But everything must have a reason.
  Although Oden's physical talent is very good, his four years with the Warriors are almost so interesting in terms of statistics and performance on the court.
   Then there is the most worrying injury problem.
   Oden missed a lot of games last season, especially when he missed the finals, and his leg problems were exposed.
   The Warriors have dealt with it so carefully and can't completely avoid it, other teams will naturally worry about it.
   So the Warriors are picking up a wave.
   But after renewing Oden, it was difficult for Landry and the others to keep it.
   The Kings signed the "Divine Bird" with a four-year 40 million contract.
  After the Warriors spent four years as the "sixth man", Landry will finally have his career starting opportunity.
   And the plot that happened last year happened again. In order to sign veteran Mike Bibby, the Warriors waived Thomas Jr.
   This gave the Lakers a bargain. They used a three-year non-guaranteed contract to take down Thomas.
   It's not that Sun Hao gave advice, or that the Lakers management opened their eyes.
   But there is Jeremy Lin’s success story last season, and the Lakers’ guard line is still lacking this season, so I signed it and tried it.
   So Sun Hao was stunned for a while when he saw the news.
   can't even help being stinky, he feels that he has brought luck to the Lakers.
   At this point in the timeline, most of the team's reinforcements are almost done.
Other things that attract more attention are that the Hornets have signed Kirilenko, who was intentional by the Mavericks, and formed the Trident lineup of Deron, Kirilenko, and West, temporarily pacifying the already existing ones. Deroned Williams.
   Then, when the free market was about to end, the Howard matter over there finally settled.
  In the end, what the Magic reached was not a three-way transaction, but a wave of four-way transactions!
   In addition to the expected Clippers and Magic, the remaining two are the 76ers and the Lone Ranger!
  The specific transaction plan is:
   Clippers: Send out Andrew Bynum, Odom, the second round in 2014 and the first round in 2016, get: Howard and Louis Williams.
Magic: Send out Howard, Louis Williams, get: Bobois, Marion, Harkless, Vucevic, the first round of 2012 (Lone Ranger), the first round of 2014 (Lone Ranger) Team), 2014 second-round signing (Clippers), 2015 first-round signing (76ers), 2016 first-round exchange of powers (Lone Ranger), 2016 first-round signing (Clippers).
   The 76ers sent out: Iguodala, Harkless, Vucevic and the 2015 first-round pick, get: Bynum.
   The Lone Ranger team sent Boubois, Marion, Diop, the first round of 2012, the first round of 2014, and the first round of 2016 to exchange powers and get: Iguodala and Odom.
   The last deal reached in this wave is somewhat unexpected, and the Magic did not directly ask Bynum, which also shows that they have announced that they have entered the reconstruction.
   This is also understandable. With Lewis's big contract, and Arenas has also begun to suffer injuries, even if Howard stays, they have little chance of defeating the Knicks and the Bulls.
   Now that Howard is replaced by Bynum, it must not be possible.
   So they simply started the reconstruction mode, UU reading www.uukanshu.com in exchange for a bunch of young players and draft picks, and then slowly deal with Arenas and Lewis's contract.
   The Clippers and the 76ers both get what they need in this wave of transactions.
   It is the lone ranger who really picked up the big leak.
   They used a small price to directly exchange for the best sixth man of the past, Odom, and Iguodala, who was in his prime!
   This is not "Iguodala" in the eyes of Yuu!
  In history, Iguodala was the Nuggets who left the 76ers in the summer of 2012. As a result, he directly led the Nuggets to break the best record in team history.
   Offensive and defensive, as well as good organizational skills.
   The second master of the best is not a vain name.
   And you have to know that the Lone Ranger team is missing, or that Nowitzki is missing this kind of helper!
   Kidd, Terry, Iguodala, Nowitzki, Chandler.
   The Lone Ranger team in the new season is only stronger than last year!
   Warriors, Grizzlies, Lakers, Spurs, Hornets, Lone Rangers...
   This time, this "fish pond" next season is completely alive, and it's full!
