After the opening of the free market, Li Liang led a wave, and the NBA gradually fell into silence, waiting for the next wave to take off.
As the Clippers of Li Liangxin's home team, they were caught in an awkward position.
They somehow got Xinke FMVP, and then...and then there is no, and the people are gone!
Call... I'm sorry, the call you made is not in the service area.
No one will send an email back, I heard that Li Liang has returned to China.
No way, it's that wayward.
Theoretically, Li Liang is just a player with a middle-class contract in the Clippers, which means that the conference is over.
But in fact, the Clippers faced the big pie falling from the sky and began to think about how to eat it.
As early as May, Negro, the former coach and general manager of the Clippers, was no longer in the Clippers' team-building plan and would not renew his contract.
After that, Chris Paul hopes the team will get the Celtics coach Doug Rivers or Kevin Garnett, otherwise he may not renew the contract.
Players without self-confidence and strength can only pick teammates to pick coaches, while players with self-confidence and strength do not pick anything, waiting for others to hug.
But the Rivers-Celtic contract was not over, and the Celtics were also waiting for Li Liang to make a decision.
After Li Liang decided to go to the Clippers, Rivers said nothing and decided to terminate the contract with the Celtics and go to the Clippers.
"Not because of Li Liang, I just want to live in a warmer place." Rivers explained his decision in this way.
For this, the Clippers compensated the Celtics for a draft pick.
This is also the only one in NBA history, the draft picks for coaches.
The Celtics immediately executed Plan B. Their new coach, Stevenson, signed on July 3rd.
Rivers came to the Clippers not only as the head coach, but also as the team's deputy general manager and into the team's management.
Paul also immediately chose to renew the contract with the Clippers, signing a five-year top salary of 107 million US dollars.
Paul is worth the contract at this price point, but now the contract of any star player in the league and Li Liang's contract have all become premium contracts.
For example, someone from the Los Angeles Lakers who has a broken Achilles tendon and occupies $30 million in space, or maybe he has the ability to match Li Liang’s offer?
Of course, he has won the championship now and is enjoying the championship summer comfortably.
After Rivers entered the Clippers, he began to work with the management to build the team's lineup.
The arrival of Li Liang solved the problem of the Clippers' weak flanking front line.
Therefore, veterans such as Grant Hill and Lamar Odom, who basically did not play a role last season, were swept away.
The NBA is still very cruel. Hill and Odom were both hot and hot, but as long as they can't contribute to the team, they won't stay.
By mid-July, the Clippers were brewing a deal, hoping to get JJ Redick from the Bucks.
But before making this deal, the Clippers management decided to solicit opinions from Li Liang.
Although it was designated to sign a contract with the Clippers, this kid has not appeared since July 1.
The signing of the contract without black and white letters, without even a verbal commitment, the Clippers were still a little worried.
After all, the Clippers are not the Lakers, small teams, after a poor life, suddenly a big star took the initiative to vote, of course, we must be careful to serve.
Although there is no way to contact Li Liang directly, his agent Zhu Shu has returned to Los Angeles to start the preparatory work for signing the contract.
Through Zhu Shu, the Clippers management asked Li Liang's thoughts on the transaction.
The response I got was "I don't want to wipe the of the two dwarfs."
As a result, the deal fell through and Caron Butler and Willie Green remained on the Clippers.
Matt Barnes also stayed with the Clippers. Although Li Liang because of his middle class soup, he still decided to stay with the Clippers and signed a base salary.
"Not because of Li Liang, I just feel that living in Los Angeles is a very comfortable thing." Barnes explained his choice in this way.
The Clippers basically retained the main lineup last season, and then out of FMVP out of thin air, feeling the strength increased.
Los Angeles' power balance is being broken.
On July 6, more free agents have landed.
Dwight Howard officially renewed the Lakers with a five-year 120 million dollar salary.
This renewal led to a complete explosion of the Lakers' salary space, which exploded to the limit and had already exceeded the local tyrant line.
But because he won the championship, the Lakers are completely willing to spend this money.
And Kobe's Achilles tendon recovered well, and according to the doctor's diagnosis, the recovery was unexpectedly fast.
Some teams that want to Howard have to take Plan B because the plan failed.
The Houston Rockets have long coveted Howard in the free market. After Howard signed the Lakers, the Rockets chose to win Josh Smith and Al Jefferson as compensation.
The two signed a three-year contract with the Rockets, so that the Rockets have been strengthened in the power forward and center positions.
It's just that Daryl Morey's superstar dream is coming to an end.
On July 10, the player market began to have big deals.
The Nuggets, Warriors, and Jazz completed a somewhat complicated three-party transaction.
The Warriors first traded with the Jazz, sending away Richard Jefferson, Bedlins and Brandon Rush, and received a salary space of $24 million.
The Warriors sent three people and only got Kevin Murphy. Murphy's contract next season is only $788,000, and there is no guarantee.
Subsequently, the Warriors got Iguodala by signing with the Nuggets and then exchanged. Iguodala's new contract is 48 million for four years.
After sending Foye, the Jazz got the expired contracts of Jefferson, Bedlins and Rush, as well as some draft picks.
The Nuggets got a special case of $9 million from the Warriors, and then signed and exchanged for Foye.
Then, the Pelicans, Kings and Trail Blazers completed a three-way deal.
The Kings sent Tyreke Evans to the Pelicans, and the Pelicans sent Grevis Vasquez to the Kings. Center Robin Lopez went to the Trail Blazers. The Blazers sent the future draft picks. And some cash.
Starting from the 13-14 season, the New Orleans Hornets team name will enter the history book.
New Orleans fans chose a new team name for the team, not roasted wings or roasted chicken drumsticks, but Pelicans.
In fact, the name that suits them best is still "Jazz", but it is a pity that other people are not prepared to return this name to them.
By July 11, it was another three-party transaction involving the Thunder, Bucks and Timberwolves.
In short, the player market is still very lively, and every year the general manager exchanges players and draft picks for him.
After the change, the fans will look forward to the new players and the new season.
Then in the new season, it was discovered that the new people were not as good as the original, from Xiaotiantian to Mrs. Niu, and began to look forward to the next offseason.
From beginning to end, until a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, and the right person is changed, it can be used for four or five years.
On July 15th, Wei Dazhi's account, which was still inactive, sent a message.
"Bruce Lee has returned to the United States and will sign with the Clippers."
Thousands of calls come out!
In the offseason, the famous journalist Woj ruled almost the entire free market source, and the only news he could not grasp was about Li Liang.
The news of Li Liang was completely under the control of Wei Dazhi, and he did not disclose a little bit of wind.
Before Li Liang's decision, Woj and various reporters made various predictions, but no one predicted correctly.
It’s not just that it’s not predicted, it’s not predicted at all.
Because they can't catch Li Liang's clues, they rely purely on the brain.
Now Li Liang decided to go to the Clippers, but he didn't know when he would sign the contract.
The reporters in the United States are in a hurry. Li Liang's summer traffic is comparable to James.
The lack of such a huge source of information has made these celebrities really uneasy.
A message from Wei Dazhi was quickly forwarded on Twitter~EbookFREE.me~This message from Wei Dazhi was sent out at 9 am.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Dazhi sent another message, a photo.
In the photo, Li Liang dressed in casual clothes and signed his name on a document contract on an office desk.
Next to the Clippers owner Stirling, the new head coach Rivers.
Li Liang has successfully signed the contract!
Everyone thought that the news about Li Liang would come to an end.
I did not expect that the matter was not over.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Dazhi sent a third message, which was as explosive as Li Liang's switch to the Clippers.
"The Clippers owner Sterling decided to sell the team. It is reported that the successor was Microsoft President Steve Ballmer."
