One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty-Two. The List Is Complete!

I really didn't notice Gerald Green's shortcomings before. After all, for a role player, Sun Ce usually looks at the opponent's advantages and thinks about whether the opponent's advantages are suitable for his own team.

The Grizzlies have gotten their defense back last season. It's not a big deal to drag a forward and defensive lineman who doesn't defend well in certain lineups, as long as the good effects outweigh the side effects.

And it’s just a basic salary.

But the reason why it is a basic salary is because Gerald Green does have many shortcomings, which means that weak teams can use him to dunk with him, which will improve the enjoyment of the game. If the team is slightly stronger, for example, if they want to compete in the playoffs, I won't keep him anymore.

And most strong teams are not interested in this player who, although very functional, has too many shortcomings.

For the Grizzlies, this is just an option for the third small forward or the third shooting guard, and they can be used as the second small forward or the second shooting guard during the rest period.

After signing Gerald Green, Sun Ce estimated that the team would be looking for a defensive small forward or a swingman, and more importantly, a reliable backup point guard. They also have a $3.87 million-a-year The mini midi of the knife is of no use.

Sun Ce's promotional tour continues, and the free market has begun to enter a heated stage after experiencing a wait-and-see period for the previous ten days.

The three situations in which Love changed teams with David West and Larry Sanders, and the contract renewal situations of Aldridge and Lopez... gave a lot of reference to players with tens of millions of annual salaries. .

It was not the players who first began to make heavyweight substantive operations, but a team.

On July 12, Sun Ce saw in the news that the Lakers officially thanked Boozer and Nick Young for their help in the championship journey in the 2013-14 season, and wished Boozer a smooth future.

This means that he does not plan to renew the contract with the two. Sun Ce has some speculation that the return of the former head coach of the Lakers Old Bickerstaff to the scouting department will most likely mean that the 23+24 core system will change. It is estimated that it has already Leonard, who averages 20 points per game and is strong enough to win the Defensive Player of the Year on the defensive end, will come into the room and form a new core combination with James, and the style of play will change dramatically.

Leonard is a restricted free agent. According to the news obtained by Sun Ce, Leonard will definitely renew his contract, because after the free market opened, Leonard's agent and his second uncle have rejected offers from many teams, but Unlike Klay Thompson, who did not renew his contract with the salary cap of the previous season, there is a high probability that he will renew his contract with the maximum salary of the new season's salary cap.

But the contract has not been renewed yet...that means the Lakers are making room!

Without renewing the contracts of Boozer and Nick Young, only JR Smith was left.

But Kobe’s 20 million a year, James’s 6-year contract also has 23.16 million US dollars in the last year, JR Smith’s 5 million, plus Leonard’s Bird Rights, Motiejunas’ contract... Sun Ce forgets it Next, even if the Lakers don't renew their contracts for the time being, their salary will still be around US$75 million. This is still the limit before completing the contract extension with Leonard.

What is enough space for this?

Soon, Sun Ce knew the Lakers’ purpose...

On July 14, 2015, Google Sports columnist WOJ broke the news that the Lakers used Nene's expiring contract plus a 2018 lottery-protected pick to reach a deal with the Pacers, acquiring Roy Hibbert and Head coach Frank Vogel.

According to the details revealed, if the 2018 draft pick is not obtained that year, it will become two second-round picks in 2018 and 2019.

When Sun Ce saw this deal, he had a question mark all over his head. Would Pacers general manager Larry Bird give the head coach to the Lakers after his head was kicked by a donkey?

But after seeing the subsequent revelations, Vogel was already desperate for the Pacers. The management's wrong operations caused his years of hard work to be in vain, and he was disheartened.

He has submitted his resignation. Even if the Pacers do not agree to his resignation, Vogel will leave when his contract expires in 2016.

Therefore, the Pacers chose to trade with the Lakers, with a high probability of getting two second-round picks in the protected first round, and also exchanged Hibbert's $15 million expiring contract for Nene's $12 million The contract expired, saving $3 million.

Seeing the news related to Hibbert, Sun Ce couldn't help but sigh. Since the NBA defensive rule changes came into effect, Hibbert, who was supposed to be at his peak at the age of 28 last season, has declined rapidly, averaging only 10 points, 7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. The key is efficiency. , in the 12-13 and 13-14 seasons, Hibbert’s defensive efficiency exceeded 5 in both years, but last season it was only 3.1...

Judging from Hibbert's performance, if he came to the Grizzlies, Sun Ce really felt that this guy would be a hindrance as their backup center.

He's slow and has a bad personality.

Shortly after the deal between the Lakers and Pacers was concluded, Sun Ce saw several signings that afternoon, including four for the Lakers.

Mike Miller was re-signed to a two-year, $4 million contract, the Cavaliers free agent Jeremy Lin was signed to a one-year, $6.78 million full mid-level contract, Ed Davis was renewed with a two-year special exception, and Tali was renewed with a minimum salary exception. G. Blake.

Subsequently, the Lakers, who had already exceeded the cap and used their mid-level contract, announced that Leonard would be renewed on a five-year contract with a starting salary of US$15.9 million and a total of US$90 million.

Sun Ce was really puzzled when he saw the Lakers' operation in the past few days...Are they not going to compete for the championship in Kobe's last year?

James, Jeremy Lin, Kobe, JR Smith, Leonard, Ed Davis, Motiejunas, Tarik Blake, Hibbert...This 10-man core combination is ridiculously strong on the outside, but weak on the inside! Except for the slow-motion big man who eats the cake!

However, the free market has only been opened for less than half a month, and the Lakers may still be able to strengthen, but although the Lakers' salary has not exceeded 100 million, it is already the same as their Grizzlies. Only the basic salary exception can be used. The players who can be signed are either veterans or functional players...Sun Ce really doesn't understand it!

Family members take care of their own affairs. Sun Ce was puzzled for a while and didn't go into it. He would know naturally when the new season comes.

Finally, on the afternoon of July 15, Sun Ce's business activities finally ended!

Today, he also received good news. The team signed Ramon Sessions, a speed point guard who averaged 9.9 points and 2.7 assists per game in the Kings last season, with a one-year minimum salary of 1.5 million US dollars for the veteran!

There was no way to sign Brooks, Jeremy Lin, Wayne Ellington and others. These players are young and it is impossible for them to not sign a contract of several million to get a minimum salary. Sun Ce did not have much expectation for signing Sessions, and thought that it might be more likely to sign a veteran.

But the team really signed this speed point guard! And it is a pick-and-roll offense!

After finishing the business activities, Sun Ce returned to the hotel. The last stop was in his hometown of Chengdu for promotional activities. He actually had no home to return to... The main reason was that the two old people did not return to China. The little grandson and granddaughter were just a few months old and needed someone to help Lily Collins take care of them. The grandfather did not come back with them. No one had lived there for a long time, so Sun Ce could only live in a hotel.

Sun Ce listed the latest lineup of his team.

Point guard: Sun Ce, Sessions.

Shooting guards: Klay Thompson, Carter, Tony Allen.

Small forwards: Paul George, Gerald Green.

Power forwards: Randolph, Aldridge, Yi Jianlian, David West, Nance Jr.

Center: Gobert.

There are already 13 players, including 5 power forwards.

But Sun Ce thinks that this kind of distinction should not be made in today's era. For example, Randolph actually played center more last season. Of course, he was defending the opponent's center. He had enough tonnage and could block the lower body. Sun Ce or Larry Sanders handled it in the air.

Aldridge can also play center, and Yi Jianlian's running and gunning lineup is also a center.

So the power forward position is actually not as bloated as it seems.

However, if you really compare this year's 13-man activation list with last season, the gap is really not small!

The rotation lineup is too different, but there are also things worth looking forward to. It is also the goal that Sun Ce will start to work hard after going to Los Angeles to rest for a few days-improvement!

He, Sun, Paul George, and Klay Thompson will all be 26 years old next season and enter the golden period of their careers. This stage may be the stage where their strength improves faster, and it is also the last stage of obvious strength improvement under normal circumstances.

Perhaps their progress can make up for the impact of the weakening of the rotation lineup.

Although it is unlikely to make up for it completely, their lineup is already good, and the five big stars are still there, and they are definitely the biggest favorites to win the championship.

But Sun Ce thinks it’s a bit strange, why can’t their mini-middle class be used? David West and Sessions have never thought about that mini-middle class?

Sun Ce and Chris Wallace also talked about this topic, and Chris Wallace also found it strange.

Since the family did not return to China together, even Zu Ge was busy with the exams in the first half of next year, started to review, and wanted to lose weight, so he didn’t come back. Sun Ce booked a flight for tomorrow, and had to leave for Shanghai early tomorrow morning to take the evening flight, and then he would start training.

The gym, trainer, physiotherapist, nutritionist... Stockton and Bill Duffy have already taken care of these, and Sun Ce just needs to go there for training.

What he needs to prepare is the arrangement of training content.

S-level designated type lottery card, S-level core strength training card, blessing of legendary superstar in random position... Sun Ce decided to see which position he would be randomly assigned to first, and then decide which card to use in the next two months in addition to the S-level core strength training card that must be trained.

The system prompt came with a thought.

"Host uses special card: blessing of legendary superstar in random position, randomly in use...

Sun Ce looked at the random flashing circles on the system screen, which should be the animated picture showing the technical movements of players in five positions. When the flash stopped, Sun Ce was silent...

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special card: blessing of the legendary center. "
