Chapter 753: Choose

The chain reaction after the Lakers deal is not over.
On the day Li Liang came back, the Golden State Warriors couldn't hold back anymore, dragging the Celtics and Trail Blazers to make a tripartite transaction. The main body of the transaction was David Lee, Gerald Wallace, Pakistan. Thum and some draft picks.
The Warriors got Batum, a junk contract, the Celtics got David Lee, and the Blazers got Gerald Wallace and the draft picks.
David Lee's role in the Warriors has not been played and reflected, and Batum further strengthened the Warriors' frontline, so that there is one more weapon against Li Liang.
However, if the general manager of Warriors and Cole see Li Liang’s muscular arms, he will be shocked. Can this Batum noodle-like figure really be used against Li Liang?
Also, the 14-year playoffs against the Clippers, Batum is not against Li Liang, it is obvious what kind of being beaten. It can only be said that the Warriors have the mentality to give it a try, and the accumulation of 3D is over. First, whether it is useful or not. ,
Li Liang now feels a bit like O'Neill in 2000. At that time, in order to limit this shark, the entire league desperately piled up height and muscle inside, which is regarded as the last afterglow of the center era. At that time, the New York Knicks had a bad contract, and it was hard to say that it had nothing to do with this inertia.
The Warriors, Spurs, Lakers, and Rockets have all improved their strength to a certain extent. Of course, no one knows how they played after the start of the season.
Others like the Grizzlies continue to mend, they left Mark Gasol to keep the black and white bears in Memphis, but Randolph's energy is getting less and less. The Trailblazers completely cleared the sale, Aldridge was gone, Batum was gone, Matthews was gone, and Robin Lopez was also gone.
In the past 14 years, he has played quite the pioneers of the Five Tigers, and now Lillard is left alone.
reconstruction.
The Clippers struggled to find the loopholes left by Li Liang's departure in the free market. Unfortunately, this hole is too large, and those broken boards cannot be repaired anyway. The Clippers certainly wanted to welcome their captain, but on the 28th, after arriving in Los Angeles, Li Liang refused Ballmer’s invitation to dinner and ran for dinner with Wei Dazhi and Bai Xiaoting and made Ballmer the number one fan. Very sad.
There are also teams such as the Suns and Kings who have been rotten for several years, and hoped for Li Liang's favor, but Li Liang did not consider these teams in the past. He really wants to help the poor, but more is to get rich quickly, to save the first aid not to save the poor. Like the sun and the king, to be honest, it doesn't necessarily pull.
The Timberwolves...Li Liang didn't know that the NBA has this team.
Among the Western Conference teams in recent years, there is one team that has not moved so far, and that is the Thunder.
In 12 years, they ushered in a good harvest of the draft, and reached the finals at a young age. Although they lost, they harvested the future.
Unfortunately, the 12-year deal ruined everything, ruined the future, and destroyed many, many things.
General Manager Presti may have to regret the rest of his life why he had to do such a deal and why he had to be so anxious.
After that, they started to go wrong, relying only on Wang to blow up the facade, the utilization rate of the two cores was too high, and began to frequently suffer injuries.
There are no big names in the free market willing to come, the miracles in the draft can not happen again and again, a perfect three-person combination wants to reproduce, it is already impossible.
Last season Durant finally reimbursed due to injury, and they waste another year.
This summer, Presti still hopes to do something, so as not to waste the peak state of Durant and Westbrook.
The youth of each player is very valuable. The average age of a player in the league is only four years, which can be said to be fleeting.
Of course, star players have a longer career, but their peaks are generally four to five years, rising in the front and falling in the latter.
There are only a few long standbys like Duncan, Kobe, and James. Durant may be able to, but Durant has no patience to say.
As the so-called initiator has no future, James has a good head, and Li Liang is carrying forward the summit, if Durant has not been able to win the championship in the Thunder, then when the peak has not retreated, he may choose to leave, Go to a place where you hope to win the championship.
But a small place like Oklahoma is really unattractive for big-name free agents, and the Thunder has been buckling the line in signing, there is no big deal.
Presti's study with Popovich is basically the same kind of thinking as three years and three years of sewing and repairing.
Today, the Spurs have let go of their hands and feet, caught big fish in their own markets, and made big deals. The Thunder still have no action.
If you don’t do it, you can’t do it.
At that time, Harden was traded as an important bargaining chip, and what he eventually got was Steven Adams.
Now they have no good chips in hand, and they are not like the Lakers. They have a long history, and the white wolf with empty gloves allows people to take the initiative to vote. They would rather give up 10 million in wages and complete the "Child Lake Dream".
This Thunder only moved to Russia City in 2008 to complete the team's name change. The most loyal little fans, it is estimated that no grown-ups can enter the league yet. "Leimeng" will have to wait a few more years.
Presti's biggest operation was to pick Cameron Payne in the draft.
As always, long hands and feet, anyway, the Thunder draft, the pick is the right one-so sorry Griffin, although you are a Russian city, but you can't come to the Thunder.
Now the biggest operation Presti can do on the free market is to renew Singler!
In February of this year, the Thunder used Reggie Jackson to get Singler from the Pistons. It can only be said that for the balance of the ball and the locker room, the Thunder can only do so.
When Singler came to the Thunder, he averaged 3 points and 2 rebounds per game.
In July, looking at the free market, there was nothing to catch. Thunder swaggered and gave Singler a $25 million contract in May.
So far, the biggest signing of the season has been completed.
Then Presti started to worry, and began to remember Li Liang like many teams.
Since June, the managers of each team have been suffering from "Bruce-Lee syndrome".
At the beginning, everyone kept silent, and rubbed secretly with Bird and Zhu Shu, hoping to get a commitment to join.
But Bird said everything to listen to Li Liang, Zhu Shu said that Li Liang did not listen to anything, and Li Liangwo's hometown in China did not go anywhere, said nothing, so everyone was anxious.
As long as I met in private, I would say in less than two sentences, "Hey, have you heard of Bruce Lee?"
"No, have you heard?"
"Oh no, I don't. If I heard that, why would I ask you."
"It hurts, I listened to your tone and thought you heard it."
Later, everyone no longer needs "Bruce-Lee", just say "the-man", that person!
"How is that man?"
"I don't know, still alive."
"Any news from him?"
"It seems to have participated in a training camp, Yao's."
"By the way, is there anyone close to Yao, ask?"
"I asked and said I want to join the Chinese national team."
"Oh shit, I am not the manager of the Chinese national team."
In this way, with the passage of time, some teams gradually lost the opportunity and ideas to obtain Li Liang.
The Thunder is waiting for the lucky arrival, because Li Liang always likes to directly announce his whereabouts on Twitter, but does not tell the management of the team to go in advance, which has the feeling of winning a big prize.
As soon as Li Liang returned to the United States, various media began to pay close attention to Wei Dazhi's Twitter.
Including Presti, too, became a Twitter addicted patient~EbookFREE.me~ If you have nothing to do, take out your mobile phone and brush it. Check it out on Wei Dazhi's homepage, which is more diligent than watching fitness bloggers.
Finally, on August 31, the last day of August, Presti saw Wei Dazhi's Twitter update. It was a picture, a blue picture with a shield!
Thunder's team logo!
Presti suddenly felt blood pouring into his head, Thunder, Thunder won!
But if you take a closer look, it’s not right...not Thunder, but...is it a sign of Shufujia?
In the trough, Wei Dazhi even put a Shufujia icon on Twitter.
Presti was suddenly discouraged, did this play me? Heart disease is coming out.
But two minutes later, Wei Dazhi deleted the previous Twitter and reposted it. This time, it was finally the blue shield sign, Oklahoma City Thunder.
Immediately, Presti's cell phone rang, which was called by Larry Bird.
The speed is really fast.
