Chapter 1076: [The miserable 1st generation, winning the championship]

There were many major signings in the NBA in July.
The 76ers actively recruited and started to rebuild, otherwise they will not even reach the "poor line" next season.
They digged Bulls star power forward Paul Millsap for $ 58 million in three years, of which the third year was a player option.
Because of Millsap's height and age, the Bulls are reluctant to renew his high-paying contract. The Bulls are also preparing to rebuild this summer.
Not only Millsap, Wade also jumped out of the contract to leave, he knew that the Bulls have no future, it is impossible to compete. He and Ross overlap in position and are not suitable for being together. Both are not good at shooting three-pointers and rely on breakthroughs.
After the Bulls signed Roll Deng, plus the total salary of Ross and Asik, the two were very high, and they did not want to give Millsap and Wade a contract. They paid a lot of luxury taxes last season, but failed to win the championship. They couldn't even reach the finals. It was time to break up.
Then, the 76ers signed the King point guard Kemba Walker for 48 years.
Walker, who is partnered with Harden, has average data. Last season, he averaged 34 minutes per game, only 15.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.4 steals. He shot 38.5% from the field and 30.4% from the field.
Walker is a defender who likes to play picks and rolls. When he rushes, he is very strong. He can use the back steps and various fakes to turn away the defenders and create a shooting space for himself.
He overlaps with Harden and is full of creativity when he holds the ball to break through. If he doesn't hold the ball it will be over and he will not find the offensive rhythm.
In 2013, the Maruf brothers sold the Kings, and the team almost left Sacramento and moved to Seattle. But under the active mediation of Sacramento Mayor and former NBA star guard Kevin Johnson, the King finally stayed in Sacramento. The takeover team is Indian IT tycoon Vivic Rana Dave, whose price is $ 535 million.
Vivek doesn't like Walker very much. He feels that he is not like a point guard at all, and he is not suitable for partnering with Harden, so there is no matching contract to let go.
The 76ers also gave second-round rookie insider Nikola Jokic a contract to find a substitute for Jordan.
Coupled with shooting guard Kobe, the 76ers have good players in all four positions. The only weakness is the small forward position. Jason Richardson is a completely free man and will not renew. The rest is blue-collar Luke Bar. Mott and Telitovich traded from the Nets last season.
Management traded center Pekovic from the Timberwolves last season and the league's bottom-up Jazz trade in exchange for 7 million trade exceptions and non-draft Jazz edge man small forward Joe Ingles.
The Jazz lineup is messed up and no trades are made. Only one Derrick Faworth will be paid high next season, and small forward Gordon Hayward is now magic. The Jazz now want to pick a rookie with a high pick, and dig Pekovic to reach the "poor line".
The salary cap for the NBA next season has skyrocketed to $ 70 million, continuing to set a record high, nearly 11% higher than the $ 63.06 million the previous season. At the same time, the luxury tax threshold for the new season was $ 84.7 million, an increase of 10.3% from the previous season ’s $ 76.82 million.
According to regulations, the minimum salary of NBA teams is 90% of the salary cap, which means that the minimum salary for the 2015-16 season is 63 million US dollars. As of now, the total salary of many teams is below the minimum salary threshold. Even if the Jazz trade came to Pekovic, there would still be a gap of 3 million.
The Timberwolves signed the UEFA Champions League MVP Belica in three years for $ 11.7 million, and renewed Garnett for 16 million in two years.
At first glance, the two signings were to reach the "poor line", and Garnett couldn't move at all, even with an annual salary of 8 million. The Timberwolves management is willing to give Garnett a high salary to make him a mascot. He chose the former between money and chasing the championship ring.
Because Garnett is not sure whether he can win the championship by joining the strong team. He wants to join a strong team, the opponent does not necessarily require him to play 20 minutes per game, 6.6 + 6.6 + 1.6 players, at first glance he can only call 666.
The strong teams really don't need Garnett. For example, the Warriors already have Nowitzki. Go to the Lakers and hug Guo Xu's thigh? Garnett's self-esteem is not allowed. When he went, he could only get a basic salary, but he couldn't get used to Guo Xu's arrogance.
In the 2004 playoffs, the Timberwolves led the Suns 2-0, and then they were knocked out by Guo Xu. Since then, Garnett has hated Guo Xu. He believes that without Guo Xu, he would get the regular season MVP that year and lead the Timberwolves to the championship.
He would rather retire than go to be a brother under the enemy, just so tough!
Moreover, he doesn't think the Lakers' rotten lineup can win the championship. Even if Guo Xu is signed, it will be good to make the playoffs.
Not long ago, the media broke the news that Bosh will not come back to play next season. He is likely to choose to retire because his thrombosis will be life-threatening to participate in strenuous sports.
The Timberwolves also signed Nick Young, the Lakers swingman, for 40 years. This is obviously a premium contract, and the Lakers will certainly not choose to match.
Wade joined the Nets with a low salary of $ 2.3 million, which surprised everyone. He also played beautiful stats last season and can play a role at a glance, at least a second-rate star.
A reporter asked why Wade chose the Nets instead of joining other teams with high salary. Wade said: "I joined the Nets for the championship. I feel the Nets will be very close to the championship next season, and this is also suitable for me. Team, I want to work hard with LeBron. "
The 2003 rookie was once called the golden generation, and now the media has changed their name to call them "the miserable generation". This year's big-name stars have not won the championship, and it was suppressed by Guo Xu alone.
After seeing this kind of news, the 2003 players did not want to join forces with Guo Xu. With the exception of Bosh, he wanted to return to the team doctors not allowed, now he is taking medicine at home every day.
The Nets vacated the salary space because of the expiration of Joe Johnson's contract, but they did not give Wade a high salary. Instead, they dug the Rockets backup point guard Patrick Beverly in 4 years.
Last season, the Rockets signed Kyle Lowry, Beverly's fate changed, he has few chances to play, and the data is very ordinary.
Beverly performed well in the 2013-14 season, averaging 10.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals, shooting 41.4% from the field and 36.1% from the 3-point range.
The Nets management believes that Beverly is suitable for partnering with James. The task of attacking and organizing the ball can be completed by James and Wade. Beverly only needs to defend and catch a three-pointer.
The Spurs also made a big move. They first sent Diago Split to get the signing rights of Georgos Printzius from the Hawks and a second-round draft pick in 2017, which freed up salary space ~ www. EbookFREE.me ~ Then the Spurs signed the Blazers core LaMarcus Aldridge for 80 years.
Aldridge was completely fed up with the neuropathy of Cousins, saying that he didn't stay with the Blazers.
Cousins ​​has a strong body, can shoot in the middle, and has the ability to cope with offense. It is a superstar seedling. But he can't control his emotions forever, and he likes to break through as a defender.
Aldridge couldn't help but stay in the locker room and said him several times. "Do you look at your height and body shape, like a crossover player?"
Cousins ​​frowned and swears: "I just don't score! I don't grab rebounds! I don't shoot a basket! I won't break through like a defender on the court!"
Cousins ​​took the ball in the periphery after playing ... really fragrant.
After Aldridge signed, Paul Gasol also chose to sign the Spurs, the contract is 2 years 30 million US dollars. Of course he deserves this annual salary, and was also selected as an All-Star starter last season.
The Spurs suddenly became a big hit!
