One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-Six. The Weird Free Market

It's been a few days since the 2015-2016 season ended.

Sun Ce drank a lot on the night of winning the championship. Fortunately, both girls came and took good care of them. The other teammates all went out to hang out. Chicago ranks among the top in the United States for the number of girls who need to save their souls, and the quality is also among the top.

He returned to Memphis the next day and rested for two days. The team allowed him to rest more because some fans attended the afternoon celebration banquet after winning the championship.

"We Are Legend(s):

Goal 1: Defeat the Warriors in the regular season finale and win the regular season championship. (completed)

Goal 2: Win the 2015-2016 season championship. (completed)

Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: a random S-level dunk bag; Earvin Johnson's balance bracelet (A) is upgraded to Lamar Odom's balance bracelet (S). "

"Bear King Domination: S-level event The 9th stage event of the Bear King's Road:

Goal: The host needs to help the Grizzlies complete three consecutive championships and create a Grizzlies dynasty.

Event reward: S-level random physical fitness training card. "

Sun Ce didn't open the system screen for the past two days, wanting to have a good rest.

The final event of the Road to the Bear King is finally here, and there is finally another chance to get an S-level physical fitness training card. This is probably the most difficult reward to get, and there is no such thing.

Explosive power and explosive speed are the two areas that Sun Ce thinks will improve his strength the most. I felt it when I used the Jordan card. The physical fitness is really easy to use.

His jumping is also very good. Regardless of whether there is room for better development of skills such as fadeaway jumpers and turnaround jumpers, just the fact that he can jump high and dunk more handsomely makes his position in Sun Ce's mind not inferior to that of explosiveness. , The improvement of burst speed.

But now that there is a "performance type", Sun Ce's obsession with jumping training cards is not so deep.

Also, after getting the physical fitness training card and completing the training to strengthen the physical fitness, there is still a little problem, that is, he needs to re-adapt to the technique according to the improved physical fitness, but Sun Ce also has experience, it just takes time.

As soon as I thought about it, the system prompt came.

"The host uses an S-level random dunk package and is randomly selected..."

Sun Ce looked at the animations of the dunkers on the system screen and was looking forward to it. Irving? Old Nance? Jordan? LaVine? Gordon? Wilkins...anything goes! He doesn’t choose! Because as long as you equip another S-level dunk bag, the "Expression" skill can be upgraded to another level!

"Congratulations to the host for receiving the Zach LaVine dunk package(S)."

Sun Ce looked at the switched props section, LaVine's dunk bag... Sun Ce suddenly remembered LaVine's black question mark face in this year's dunk contest... He wanted Jordan and Irving's dunk bags more, but this was also very difficult. interesting!

Equip it now.

"Performance level 4: When the host attempts to dunk and there is no defender under the basket, the host's bounce is temporarily increased by 5 small levels to S level.

Note: It can be upgraded by equipping S-level dunk bags. Up to 4 dunk bags can be equipped. The current number of dunk bags that can be equipped is: 1.

Equipped dunk bag: Vince Carter dunk bag (S), Kobe Bryant dunk bag (S), Zach LaVine dunk bag (S). "

S-level bounce under certain circumstances!

Kobe Bryant, the actual dunker, Carter, the actual dunker, and LaVine, the performance dunker...are the three dunk packages, coupled with the S-level bounce when dunking blue, useful for the game? Of course it works!

When counterattacking, a beautiful performance dunk will make your teammates more excited.

Another reward, a balance bracelet upgraded to S level...

It is the same as other skills. The first four levels of the balance bracelet are to expand the position. At the S level, Odom's balance bracelet has the function of changing the play style at any position at will, which is better than the magician's balance. The effect of enhanced adaptability to changes in the positions 1-5 of the bracelet is stronger.

Sun Ce's bonus to this balance bracelet is usually only used when using the star experience card.

The main reason is that when he was not strong enough before, he used his own strength to move positions. Instead of changing positions to defend and change his playing style to attack, he used the effect of the balance bracelet to fundamentally adjust his playing style, which is an adjustment of muscle memory... I tried it once, but it was really bad, and I haven't used this bonus since.

But now his skills are becoming more and more comprehensive, and his body is strong enough... He still can't use it for the time being. It's so cool to play point guard at the peak of his athletic ability.

But there is a high probability that it will be used in the future!

He has the skill of "immortality". After his endurance rating drops below A-level with age, he can re-train his physical fitness and regain the best endurance in his career, which is the current S-level endurance.

But the decline in athletic ability is inevitable.

Then this skill will be very useful. If his speed drops, he can play shooting guard or shooter. If his speed drops further, he can play inside. If that doesn't work, it's not impossible for him to gain weight and play center. Still a center who can break through with the ball...

Thinking of this, Sun Ce couldn't help but look forward to the scene of little Gohan entering the NBA when he gets older, sitting in the low position and beating him... It doesn't have to be early to hit your son! He doesn't dare to fight now. If he dares to hit little Gohan and little Goten, his father will chase him and beat him.

But when little Gohan enters the NBA, he can be ravaged physically and mentally!

…

On June 14, the Memphis City Hall notified him that a reward would be given to him. After two days of rest, Sun Ce officially began to participate in public activities.

After Sun Ce roared out the dynasty declaration, the Memphis City Hall passed a resolution announcing that Sun Ce would receive the key to the city of Memphis.

This thing is quite useless to Sun Ce. The function of the key is to open the door. The function of the city key is similar. The function is that he can unconditionally obtain permanent residency, that is, a green card, at any time through the help of the Memphis City Hall.

But this is of no use to Sun Ce. After retiring, of course he wants to return to China where there are all kinds of delicious food, and if he wants a green card, the US government will give it to him immediately. This city key is more of a symbolic meaning and publicity work. For the fans to see.

On June 15th, the day of the championship parade arrived. The Grizzlies reversed course and won the regular season championship and entered the playoffs. Officials from the Tennessee Legislature, Memphis City Hall, and surrounding cities had already begun preparations. When the Grizzlies went 3-0 After the Bulls, preparations have begun, mainly in terms of reception of tourists from all over the world, security, etc. Memphis has been unprecedentedly safe in recent days, although as more and more Chinese people come here to make a living and do business, it has become a It has become the city with the most police force in the southeastern United States, and now even the Tennessee National Guard is involved in security.

The championship parade was the fourth time. Sun Ce was already very familiar with it, but what was unfamiliar and taken for granted was that the fans cheered with one more word - The God of Basketball.

Taking advantage of the excitement of winning the championship, after the championship parade, Sun Ce participated in more than a dozen endorsement promotion activities, all in Memphis, and concentrated on three days. These three days were because all the tourists had not left yet, and then there were more Participated in a banquet organized or invited by the team owner.

On June 20, after working for more than a week, Sun Ce finally had some free time.

But as soon as they were free, the Sun Ce family flew to Los Angeles. Lily Collins and her team, John's people, and Bill Duffy's team worked together to contact the Disney crew on behalf of Sun Ce and decide on the next schedule. , the early contacts have already been in progress, and now it is time to determine the shooting time, security measures, equipment safety, etc.

On June 22, the four-week filming of Avengers 3 about Thanos began.

There is only one person in the scene, and all other characters "serve" this one character. This kind of treatment is considered rare in the United States, the country with the most developed film industry. Generally speaking, it is only for reshoots or if something happens to an actor. Halfway through the filming, I had to change people to get similar treatment. The filming of the other characters' scenes had not started yet. It was really rare to directly shoot for one character and almost all the characters had to focus on shooting that character's scenes. And this was a new actor, which had never happened before. This has happened.

But when Sun Ce arrived on the set, some people might be dissatisfied, but no one had any dissatisfaction written on their faces. On the contrary, many actors were so excited to see him arriving on time that the crew even gave him a special gift. When he was young, he asked other people to take photos and communicate with Sun Ce before starting the meeting and discussion.

The first is to review the script. Sun Ce and every actor who will play the role review the script. Why were Avengers 3 and Avengers 4 called "The Legend of Thanos" in the original time and space? It's because this role has the most scenes.

To the surprise of the director and other actors, Sun Ce had memorized the entire script and was very familiar with the lines. He had even figured out the tone and expressions to use in most of the lines.

In terms of preparation, Sun Ce gave them the impression of an experienced and very professional actor!

But this was not enough. The crew started filming, the camera was turned on, and the behind-the-scenes footage began to be filmed, which was the preparation. First, Sun Ce had to be taught how to shoot special effects films.

This is different from Sun Ce's belief that if you do good movements, memorize the lines well, and have the right expressions, you can shoot. The main thing is that the movements must be matched with special effects, and the special effects are not visible. The movements to be performed are suitable for special effects, and the position is also the same. knowledge...

I will have the right lines for every shot I need to take, I will study the basic knowledge of movements and positions for shooting special effects movies for several days, and prepare the motion capture equipment customized according to his huge body size compared to other actors. Well...after spending almost a week getting ready, the shooting started.

In fact, even if Sun Ce has many scenes, and even if it takes a week to prepare, the total estimated shooting time of 4 weeks is still quite long, because only scenes with Sun Ce were shot.

The main reason is that the crew is worried that Sun Ce will not adapt to or find it difficult to get into the role of having so many scenes for the first time, his basic line skills are not good enough, his expressions are not in place, he has poor learning ability, he is trying to be a big name...etc.

Not adapting is not adaptable, but when it comes to acting, basic line skills, expression management, etc., Sun Ce puts many of the superhero actors to shame. In terms of learning ability, others don't know why Sun Ce is carrying a small schoolbag. , but Sun Ce learned quickly.

After the filming started, the filming progress was not fast at first, but as Sun Ce adapted, the filming progress became faster and faster...

Another worry on Disney's part is whether Sun Ce will act like a big star, for example, he won't want to shoot when he is tired. However, Sun Ce is not like this at all, and his physical strength is much better than other actors. Sun Ce's hard work makes the director want to act like a big star. After taking one shot, Sun Ce couldn't wait to take the next one...

It was originally expected that the official shooting would take at least 15 to 20 days, but after Sun Ce got into the mood for shooting in the first three or four days, he got into it faster and faster. After the first week of shooting, the shooting progress was already over half, and it was only in the last three days. One-third of the shots were shot, and the progress was getting faster and faster.

Playing opposite an actor who is devoted and good at acting, it is easier for others to get into the mood. In the eyes of actors with excellent acting skills such as Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, and Chris Evans, Sun Ce is such a person. As for the opponent, although Sun Ce had those motion capture devices attached to his body and the background was green cloth, there was no atmosphere at all during the shooting.

But Sun Ce Leng relied on his acting skills to make them feel that the guy in front of them was the Universal Family Planning Committee member. They even felt a "death-like sense of oppression" during the filming process. Sun Ce Leng brought others into the atmosphere of the character! This situation has rarely happened in the filming of Marvel movies in the past. When shooting special effects movies, the shooting process is always a bit awkward. However, this time when filming opposite Sun Ce, many actors devoted themselves wholeheartedly, and some actors even made their own shots. A height that has never been photographed before...

Because of Sun Ce's performance, the director and screenwriter specially added some new scenes for Sun Ce. Indeed, this role became more charming for Sun Ce than they originally expected...

…

Sun Ce's filming of Avengers 3 is in full swing, and the NBA has also opened the free market.

Earlier, Sun Ce held a talent show during the learning stage of making movies.

It’s hard to describe this draft. Except for the fact that the Hawks selected Ben Simmons with the No. 1 pick without any suspense, and the Timberwolves selected Brandon Ingram with the No. 2 pick, the other picks were watched by the media and fans. It's all a matter of blind choice.

With the third pick, the Wizards directly selected Sabonis, who was originally predicted to be around the 10th pick, instead of Jaylen Brown, who was predicted to be the top 5 pick.

However, it is understandable to announce the center. They are short of a center and have Winslow at the small forward position. Tristan Thompson alone cannot support the inside... but they did not choose the one who is regarded as the "next Porzingis". Dragan Bender is still surprising.

So the Rockets picked Bender with the fourth pick.

The Kings selected Marges Chriss with the fifth overall pick.

After the top five picks were selected, neither team chose Jaylen Brown and Buddy Hield, the two favorites in the top five!

And with the sixth pick, the Nuggets selected their long-awaited point guard Jamal Murray, who seemed to be desperate for Mudiay's performance.

Immediately afterwards, the Clippers surprisingly selected Buddy Hield with the 7th overall pick.

The Grizzlies were equally surprised. Before Sun Ce went to Los Angeles, the Grizzlies management and coaching staff had communicated with Sun Ce about the draft, who had a "strong team behind him." They agreed that, in addition to Simmons and Ingram, this year's rookies The best remaining forwards and defenders with the most talent on the perimeter and good combat ability are Hield and Jaylen Brown. The former is good at offense and the latter is good at defense. Of course, this refers to the college season that just ended. The performance of the two does not rule out changes in the future. For example, Rose and Westbrook were regarded as future defensive giants when they were drafted. As a result, although the defense of the two is also good, the offense is their strongest in the NBA. place.

These two people, Sun Ce, the coaching staff, and the management didn't think they would fall out of the top five picks, but they did. The Clippers, a team that needs to add scoring ability on the back line, selected Hield, and the Grizzlies The team naturally got Jaylen Brown.

With the 9th pick, the Cavaliers selected the center they wanted, Jakob Poeltl. The 10th pick, the Bucks, seemed to select anyone at random, selecting Thon Mack, who was predicted to be No. 15 in the first round. The player with the 20th pick, that is, the performance of the player who has no choice, the remaining players are not interested in it, so they simply choose a center and scratch the lottery.

With the 11th overall pick, the Pacers selected University of Michigan's Caris LeVert...another blind selection, betting on talent without considering position, and betting on the player with the best predicted talent among the remaining players.

With the 12th pick, Boss Joe once again began to show his vision and selected Malachi Richardson.

With the 13th pick, the Pelicans honestly selected Denzel Valentine, this year's NCAA Best Small Forward winner, and with the 14th pick, the Jazz selected immediate talent Taolin Prince. With the 15th overall pick, the Suns selected Jonis Papagiannis…

After the first 8 picks, every team has been in chaos. Except for the top two picks in this year's draft predictions by major media, the rest are just as funny. The shooting rate is extremely low, and very few teams can select them. The one they wanted in the first place because the teams ahead didn't go as predicted.

But the predictions were originally just predictions from the media. Each team did not reveal in advance who they would select. Except for the first overall pick, the Eagles said from the beginning that they would only select Ben Simmons, which caused Ingram to refuse to participate. Eagles tryout.

Moreover, there are not many transactions in this year's draft, and the level of rookies is very average. There is not much difference between the players selected with the 10th and 20th picks. It is good to scratch the lottery and be cheaper...

In terms of the draft, the Thunder, Grizzlies, and Spurs have attracted much attention. Among these teams, only the Grizzlies used the 2018 lottery-protected draft pick to exchange for the 30th pick in the first round that had been traded long ago. In the 30th pick in the first round, there was another small upset, selecting Malcolm Brogdon... But this upset is not big. The 30th pick in the first round will select a player predicted to be around 10th in the second round, which is far less than the upset of the Bucks selecting players in the 15th to 20th picks. Moreover, this year's draft, if you must say, has been a big upset since the 3rd pick...

After the draft, the focus of fans' discussion about the draft was not who might play the best, but - how many years will Simmons have to be reimbursed before he can start playing?

By the way, can Embiid play next season?

As for the draft itself, after the draft was completed and the fans' expectations were over, there were really not many people discussing it.

However, Jaylen Brown's expression of surprise after being selected by the Grizzlies, which made news when he shook hands with David Stern on stage, became so wide-eyed that he couldn't help but smile.

This draft year is just like the 2000 draft. At least at this stage, except for the two brothers in the first and second picks, there are almost no rookies in other positions who are considered to be the core of the team.

In this case, rookies all want to go to teams with better environments, and the Grizzlies have been famous for training young players over the years. Double 3D, Whiteside, Larry Sanders, Gobert... are all well-known figures in the league now!

On the other hand, Sun Ce, who was learning the skills of filming movies at the time, was shocked to hear that the team actually got Jaylen Brown at the 8th pick! He originally wanted the Magic's draft pick. The Magic originally selected a center, so they just made the same choice as the Magic. The Magic never lose out when selecting a center.

As a result, Sabonis was taken away by the Wizards at the 3rd pick, and the Rockets bet on the next Porzingis. The Nuggets and Clippers selected what they wanted...

Sun Ce saw that Jaylen Brown should drop to the 8th pick, and they should get a bargain.

Although Jaylen Brown seemed to only have defense in his rookie season, this is what they wanted. Tony Allen has a tendency to retire, and the Grizzlies' outside line may be so poor that only the three starting outside lines are left. If Tony Allen chooses to retire, Sessions, Mo Williams, Carter, and Gerald Green leave the team, they will not have a single substitute on the outside line.

So, Sun Ce suggested trading a draft pick at the end of the first round to select Brogdon, at least to ensure that the point guard position is below the substitute.

Originally, if Sabonis was not selected at the 8th pick, it would be traded down to select two more forwards, at least to ensure that someone is available, and then consider summer signings.

Unexpectedly, Jaylen Brown was selected!

Brogdon was also selected with a future draft pick.

According to Sun Ce's prediction, Brogdon is the most capable rookie in this year's draft. He is the best rookie after all. Jaylen Brown is not as good, but he is good at defense. He should be the third choice for small forward and shooting guard.

Sun Ce thinks that he should thank the Wizards. If the Wizards had chosen one of Jaylen Brown or Buddy Hield, the Grizzlies' hell mode this summer might have become more difficult. Now, at least there are two substitutes on the outside.

In addition to this, there are also things about the agency. Bill Duffy signed Brogdon, the pearl, first, of course, at Sun Ce's instruction.

However, Bill Duffy himself was very powerful this time and grabbed the top pick Ben Simmons. Bill Duffy was originally a top agent. Yao Ming, Randolph and others were all his players. It was not surprising that he signed Ben Simmons.

Moreover, the same agent does not mean anything. In the NBA, the contract between players and agents is basically that players can change agents at any time if they want to.

For example, Garnett and Duncan were both players under the same agent in their early years, but their relationship was never good.

This is the rule of the NBA and the players' union. If you want to become an agent for NBA players and want to earn commissions from NBA players with extremely high average salaries, you have to accept such a rule. The NBA does not want to turn the agent industry into a property company industry.

Of course, those agents who are very capable or have a good reputation and never cheat players are still very popular among players.

Moreover, in today's league, agents with a good reputation and who do not cheat players are very popular among players.

In the past two years, Garnett and Duncan both sued their former agents in court. Fans just watched the fun, but the impact on players was too great, especially the agent partnered with Duncan's ex-wife to help her transfer Duncan's assets to support a gigolo in order to embezzle Duncan's assets. This incident made "reputation" and "personal relationship" one of the key conditions for players to choose agents now. Ability is secondary. Anyway, most players don't have much endorsement. NBA salaries are mostly clearly marked. If you play well and are not a thorn, your salary cannot be low. No matter how high you negotiate, it won't be much higher. Especially for top-paid players, who have a fixed salary, the ability of the agent is not that important without a large endorsement.

And there are not many players who can get high endorsement fees. The sneaker endorsement of top-tier players like Howard and Anthony does not exceed 5 million US dollars.

On Sun Ce's side, of course he is happy that Bill Duffy signed Simmons, and he also has a commission to share...

A few days after the draft, Sun Ce started to shoot his scenes in Avengers 3, and the free market started.

Before the free market started, the Grizzlies lost several players. Sessions, Mo Williams, Bargnani, and Gerald Green all chose to leave the team.

Sessions took a pay cut, predicting that he could get a middle-class contract in the free market. He already had a championship ring, so it was impossible for him to cut his salary continuously. His total salary in his career was not high. At the age of 30, he wanted to go to the free market to get a long-term or high-paying contract.

Mo Williams and Bargnani chose to retire. They both played last season just to get a championship ring. They were not short of money like Sessions. They were both players who earned 60 to 70 million US dollars in their careers.

Sun Ce knew that Tony Allen had the idea of ​​retiring after the draft. He would talk to Tony Allen every night after filming, and finally succeeded in persuading Tony Allen to play for another year.

Since he played more in the playoffs than in the original time and space, Tony Allen's degradation is much more serious than in the original time and space. His defense declined a lot last season, but it is definitely a good thing for such a defensive leader to stay with the team.

Having won more honors, 4 championship rings, and the promise of the Grizzlies to retire his jersey, Tony Allen did have the idea of ​​retiring, but he couldn't stand Sun Ce's phone bombardment and decided to play for another year. He just had one year left on his contract.

Carter chose to stay with the team and talk about his salary after the Grizzlies finished recruiting. In fact, there is nothing to talk about. Carter has no bird rights, only early bird rights. According to the salary cap of 103.15 million US dollars announced on the afternoon of July 1, Carter either takes a mini-mid-level contract of 5.62 million US dollars or a contract with early bird rights of 3.55 million US dollars.

Carter is not short of money, so he did not take the initiative to ask for a mini-mid-level contract. If the Grizzlies need the mini-mid-level contract, Carter will renew his contract with early bird rights for one year.

Moreover, not only to recruit players, but also to keep JaMychal Green, the mini-mid-level salary may have to be used, and it has to be negotiated. There is a rumor in the free market that a team is willing to give JaMychal Green a full mid-level salary...

Now the Grizzlies have Brogdon, Tony Allen, Carter, Jaylen Brown as four outside substitutes. Tony Allen has declined seriously, Brogdon and Jaylen Brown are both rookies...Sun Ce feels that the management is under great pressure this summer!

His salary next season is 27.22 million US dollars, Klay Thompson 16.77 million US dollars, Paul George 17.38 million US dollars, Aldridge 20.8 million US dollars, and the salaries of their four top-paid players have reached 82.17 million US dollars!

In addition to Carter retaining the early bird rights, Yi Jianlian retaining the bird rights, Tony Allen's 5 million US dollars, Nance Jr. and Gobert's rookie contracts...the Grizzlies have long been out of space, and this does not include Randolph who has not yet renewed his contract.

The Grizzlies have no space, only a mini middle class, and they have to consider that they have to reduce the total salary to below the luxury tax threshold after paying the luxury tax for two consecutive years, otherwise the boss will cry when paying taxes next season. The pressure is really great.

This Sun Ce can't really help much, and he is not good at this. If there is space, he can flirt with free agent stars and open a sky eye with draft picks. If the space is full, no trade can be made unless it is a loss, but the five starters cannot be moved, which is the basis for winning the championship... Sun Ce can only hope in the free market.

Shouting out to build a dynasty has both good and bad sides. The bad side is that it will be targeted and may cause some stars to form a group.

But the good side is that they revealed their ambition and confidence to build a dynasty, which may make the veterans who were originally hesitant about whether to hold the thigh of their Grizzlies decide to join, because not every team will think about winning three consecutive championships after two consecutive championships. Of course, it may also make some people dare not come, but it is also possible to use this strong confidence and ambition to attract some players with a challenging mentality to join...

Sun Ce knew that perhaps his words would make it more difficult for the team to recruit players, but he had to say that.

The main purpose is not for the free market, but to tell the teammates who stay that the goal for next season is to build a dynasty.

He knows that some teammates will definitely become lax because of the two consecutive championships. Two consecutive championships are indeed great. He can understand teammates with this mentality, but he has to break the idea of ​​these teammates who want to spend the next season comfortably from the beginning, set the goal high, and if they can't bear the pressure, they can leave.

On July 1, when the free market opened and the salary cap was determined, the league quickly fell into chaos. Sun Ce could only watch because the players who moved were top-paid players such as Love and Durant.

On July 2, the first big fish had already decided on his next home. After a detailed discussion with the logo man for an afternoon and a morning, at noon on July 2, the media broke the news that Love decided to join the Nets.

It is estimated that the owner and general manager of the Nets did not expect that the logo man would be so wild and directly bring back a top power forward. They just renewed the contract with Lopez for three years last year... But since they can sign Love, they must sign him. Therefore, Lopez was immediately put on the sale list by the Nets and started to sell him, trying to trade a guard.

But the Nets did not want to trade, and other teams were willing to trade with them.

First of all, this matter was exposed too quickly. If the verbal agreement between the Nets and Love had not been exposed, then Lopez's market might be better, at least there would not be no team to give chips.

Of course, the most important thing is that now teams don't want traditional centers like Lopez. Celtics' Jahlil Okafor can't play anymore. He's still a 20-year-old player. Lopez has reached his peak, but the Nets gave up Lopez. Many teams think that the situation of Hibbert will happen.

This also happened in the original time and space. In the original time and space, the Nets also wanted to sell Lopez, but because of Hibbert's previous experience, no team was willing to give the Nets matching chips.

In the end, the Lakers used the extra Russell to exchange Lopez and also got rid of Mozgov's worst contract in history with 3 years left. At the same time, they also got a second-round pick that was very precious to the Nets.

The Nets' signing of Love was temporarily shelved. Love was patient and temporarily refused to meet with other teams.

When Sun Ce learned about this, he sighed that the logo man was really good at fooling people.

However, Sun Ce could also guess what the logo man said. How to make Love confident was unknown to Sun Ce. Sun Ce knew that the Nets definitely wanted to get rid of Lopez's 20 million contract, so they signed Love, and then used the expiration of a large number of one-year short contracts signed last year and the other maximum salary space freed up by the surge in the salary cap to pursue another superstar, and it must be an outside superstar, to directly complete the reconstruction.

If Sun Ce were to come, he would also do this, instead of piling up four inside players, Larry Sanders, Lopez, Love, and Porzingis.

Sun Ce estimated that the Nets' target was probably Paul or Durant and Evans.

Among them, Paul and Evans had contracts, and their teams also rejected the Nets' robbery-style trade with Lopez as the core. Sun Ce estimated that Durant would be fooled by the logo man.

The Warriors have no chance. Iguodala is $14 million, Curry and Harden are both $18.69 million, Thabeet is $12 million, and Draymond Green renewed his contract before the All-Star Weekend for $70 million over five years with a starting salary of $14.2 million. Add in the role players who are still under contract and the retention of Harrison Barnes' bird rights, and the Warriors' total salary has reached $97 million. They can't afford to take on big fish.

Although Sun Ce's tricks did not make the Warriors lose the opportunity to sign Iguodala, Iguodala's salary is 3 million higher than the original. The key is Curry and Harden. Although they have reduced their salaries, Curry's 5-year 75 million contract is much higher than the original 4-year 44 million. The most important thing is that the Warriors finally got Harden instead of Klay Thompson. Harden entered the NBA two years earlier than Klay Thompson. Although the starting salary of the renewal contract is lower than that of Klay Thompson, he started the big contract two years in advance. It is the fourth year of the big contract and the salary is higher than Klay Thompson...

Although the salary cap is 800 higher than in the original time and space, the Warriors cannot make such a large space to sign Durant.

Also, the logo man failed to build a championship team and gave up this stop and went to the Nets. It was definitely not because of love of money, but the Nets owner gave too much.

However, there is another threat. The Bulls are also waiting for this summer. Rose did not opt ​​out of the last year of his contract and executed a "cheap" contract of 22.32 million US dollars for next season. Griffin will not be able to opt out of his contract until 2017, and he will still be paid the maximum salary under the old salary cap era. The combined salary of the two players is less than 43 million US dollars, and the combined salary of other players reaches 40 million US dollars. There is enough space to offer a maximum salary of 26 million US dollars to non-Bird rights players. Players with Bird rights and at least 11 years of playing experience can sign and then trade, and they can even offer a maximum salary of 30 million starting salary.

However, after the free market opened, it was lively and lively. All major teams made a gesture of waving checkbooks to spend money, but except for Love who confirmed that he would negotiate a sign and then trade for more than 140 million US dollars for 5 years, few teams actually offered the largest contract.

For example, the Celtics shouted that they would definitely renew the contract with Thomas, who had one year left on his contract, but they offered a 4-year, $70 million contract extension, which was rejected by Thomas, who made a joke. Thomas directly told Celtics General Manager Danny Ainge, "I will only renew the contract if you use a truck to bring me a meal of money."

The weight of a new $100 bill is 1.05 grams, 1 ton, which is about $95 million, which is the maximum salary that Thomas wants for players with less than 7 years of playing experience!

Sun Ce also pays attention to the free market when filming. It is strange why the free market is only lively, but it seems that there is a situation where there is a market but no price.

All teams are waiting for the price, and all players are waiting for the price.

All teams are not used to the maximum salary starting salary directly increasing by nearly 10 million. The maximum salary starting salary for players with less than 7 years has increased from 16.5 million last summer to about 24 million.

The players don't want to suffer losses. The salary cap has increased, so they naturally want a salary increase.

When Sun Ce was confused, he suddenly remembered the reason why the free market in the original time and space directly started a signing spree - the troublemaker Lakers gave incredible salaries to two players, Luol Deng and Mozgov. Both of them got contracts of more than 70 million, which they would never get if they changed teams.

Other players saw that both of them got such big contracts, and decisively reported higher prices. Other teams saw that both of them got such big contracts, thinking that other teams were robbing players, and they all gave high bids or accepted high bids... But now the Lakers are negotiating with Durant, and there is no idea of ​​stirring things up. No one is taking the lead, and the free market is naturally stagnant.

There are not even many trades! Because God knows how the salary will increase. What if the salary of role players increases too much? If you want to sign back the role players with low salaries, you have to spend more money to trade them.

The free market is waiting for Durant's decision. According to media reports, Durant met with the Nets, Bulls, 76ers, Lakers, and Thunder successively. Finally, on July 8, Durant decided on his next home!

Unexpectedly, Durant did not choose any of the teams that were exposed, including the option of staying!

The Seattle Clippers officially announced that Kevin Durant was signed with a 1+1 contract of 52 million US dollars for 2 years!
