Chapter 924: [Sage Mode, Brother Basketball]

James entered the sage mode because of Stoudemire's words.
In addition to the Knicks, the Lakers and the Heat also threw an olive branch to James. The two teams are also located in big cities, but James began to hesitate, not sure if he would leave the Cavaliers.
If it were not for the top ten players in the league, James had no confidence in defeating the Sun to win the championship, even if the Sun had freed Stadamer. In 2006, Guo Xu led the Cavaliers independently to sweep the Cavaliers. In recent years, Guo Xu has brought too much psychological shadow to James.
Wade called James time and time again to invite him to join the Heat, sincere and willing to share the ball with him.
As early as March, Wade once said in an interview without hesitation that he would have a good chat with several free agency friends this summer and invited them to join the Heat, provided he would stay.
Wade's position is not a stabilizing agent for the team, their salary can create a champion division. After forming the trident of Wade, Odom, and Granger, they still have the space to sign a middle-class player, and only a small luxury tax is required to trade a star.
Wade is very passionate about the Heat, he can't bear to leave this team, hoping to bring the Heat a championship.
On this day, he called James again. "Man, don't hesitate. You can't win the Suns four times in the Cavaliers. The ordinary lineup can't beat Jason. Let's try our partners. I think it's possible."
James sighed: "I don't think it's good. The Heat lacks a good inside defensive player. The center position has weaknesses. And you also said that the Cavaliers reached the finals four times. If you join the Cavaliers to find me, do you have a better chance of winning the championship?"
Wade smiled bitterly. "Is Cleveland the right place for group formation? How do we attract role players?"
"..."
Unlike Guo Xu's previous life, the two brothers could not convince each other this year. Unless Wade is in a serious state of decline, in the later period of his career, otherwise he can't look down on the city of Cleveland, and his return to join the Cavaliers is too expensive.
James is also not optimistic about the Heat to win the championship, because the 2006 championship is missing. Wade did n’t perform well in the playoffs, and Pat Riley did n’t prove that his team-building model worked. What ’s more, the head coach was now replaced by his disciple Eric Spoelstra. ?
Although Odom joined the Heat at a lower price, he did not help the Lakers win the championship. The evaluation was much lower than when the Lakers won two championships. The 4th position also worried James and Boozer. , Can Odom do it?
In addition, James and Granger have some overlapping positions. If he plays small forward, Granger is too wasteful to be a substitute. If he plays power forward ... that is impossible.
James joining the Heat will also offend the Cavaliers management and Cavaliers fans, join the competitors in the Eastern District, this is not the "brother basketball" under the guise of casting enemies?
Even if James is willing to go to the Heat, the management of the two teams have to whistle for a long time plus James forced the palace. Because the Heat have to sign first and then change, Riley is only willing to send a low pick and trade exception.
This kind of robbery transaction method, James will call it "Heat sacrificed the future", as if James has left the Cavaliers with great benefits, but the Cavaliers boss must be hated.
James doesn't consider the Lakers at all. Unless he makes a big deal and digs up stars, Joe Johnson is a good second-handed player. He is selfless and hasn't renewed his contract with the Lakers. Battier is also a good role player, other people James is not looking at.
In particular, Bogut's inside type is not suitable for partnering with James. He lacks range and cannot open up space.
After thinking about it, James can only wait and decide to announce it later.
The Cavaliers management is not idle, first renewed Carlos Boozer with a five-year 80 million contract, the "anti-bone" became "cloth loyalty".
Boozer, who was born on November 20, 1981, and Guo Xu had similar birthdays. At the age of 29, his agent was also Harpy Waters. Harpy suggested that he jump out of the contract and sign a long contract in case James left the team in summer .
If James leaves the Cavaliers, the team's record will inevitably decline next season, the Cavaliers management may choose to rebuild, give up 30-year-old Boozer training young players, he will be very passive. Now the Cavaliers must renew Boozer, James will definitely be dissatisfied and let go.
The Suns' free agency stayed more and less, and soon found the next one. They are all "championship puzzles" and will attract more team attention.
Anthony Morrow joined the Nets for 12 million in 3 years, and the Suns didn't leave anyone. Morrow's defense is too weak to play a single role, the annual salary of 4 million is already quite a lot.
The Raptors awarded backup point guard Kyle Lowry a four-year 24 million middle-class contract, and the Suns did not match. It's too extravagant for the middle class to renew a replacement, and he made it clear that he didn't want to stay in the sun anymore and wanted to leave after signing and changing.
The Raptors don't have a player that the Sun management can see. There are a lot of junk contracts. If DeRozan is in the Raptors, Guo Xu will definitely propose to change it. Unfortunately, DeRozan was selected by the Thunder in this life.
So, the sun can only let Lori away.
The Bulls dug two people in the Sun, Korver 15 million in 3 years, Millsap 50 million in 5 years.
Both contracts are premium, and both are suggested by coach Thibodeau, who wants to bet Millsap to play better in the future.
Thibodeau used to work as an assistant in the Sun. He greatly appreciated Millsap's defense. He can resist most of the 4th position interference shots, protect the rebounds, and quickly change the pick and roll. Offensively, he has a good shooting percentage of COSCO's shots, and occasionally shows a breakthrough and low back.
In the past, all teams felt that short power forwards were weak, unless the offensive ability was super strong. Now the maneuverability is strong, and the short power forward who is good at preventing pick-and-roll has become a yummy. Because the NBA's overall offensive rhythm has become faster, most teams will use the cover to find a mobile phone outside the three-point line, and the number of power forwards attacking the low post has been greatly reduced.
The Sun management felt that Millsap was too ridiculous to take such a contract, and had never thought about matching.
Guo Xu felt very cost-effective, Millsap deserved tens of millions of annual salary, but after consideration, he did not call Brian.
In Guo Xu ’s previous life, Millsap was awarded a 32-year renewal of 32 million in the Jazz in 2009. In this life, he became the first round of the show, and it has been a year since he won the contract ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It was enough to have been a teammate for four years together, he should get the ball.
Brian received the list of free men provided by Guo Xu and began to sign his desired teammates.
Sun's summer signing work is easy, because Guo Xu proposes to sign his own friends, he wants to play brother basketball.
Sun's first signing forward Jason Richardson's four-year 25 million contract, he came to replace Korver's starter, can catch a three-pointer, can make a fast break, and excellent rebound ability .
The second signing of the Sun signed a two-year veteran base salary contract with Shark O'Neal of the "Big Shark". His salary will be 1.4 million next season, which is compared with the salary of Austrian fat 20 million in the 2009-10 season. Far away.
O'Neill is happy to cut his salary to join, he is 38 years old, no team will give him a big contract. He also made enough money early, and finally wanted to play with Guo Xu at the end of his career.
"For me, this decision does not require a very serious thinking process." O'Neill said in an interview: "I will be very happy in Phoenix, and I and Jason have the opportunity to establish the dynasty together again, this will be The perfect curtain call. "()
