Four Hundred and Twenty-Three. I Thought You Were Joking!

On May 14, 2010, the last few awards of the nba season were announced.

The best defensive player, Howard won the best defensive player for two consecutive years without any suspense.

However, Howard, who was already unhappy, was about to be unhappy again.

He won the best defensive player, but he didn't make headlines!

Just last night, a deal involving at least four teams and possibly more teams was reached!

The current preliminary agreement is that the Rockets send Yao Ming to the Mavericks for an unprotected 2013 first-round pick, 2010 and 2012 second-round picks, Eric Dampier's non-guaranteed contract, and the Kings' Francisco Garcia. .

The Bobcats traded Tyson Chandler and Theo Ratliff to a combined $14 million contract for the air, and got Matt Carroll's 80-part guaranteed final-year midlevel contract from the Mavericks and Mavs backup forward Edon. Do-Najera is basically equivalent to two contracts totaling 14 million US dollars in exchange for air.

The Kings traded Francisco Garcia to the Mavericks for Caron Butler.

The Mavericks will send a first round and two second rounds, as well as Caron Butler's high-quality contract, Eric Dampier's high-value expiring contract, sign first and then trade Yao Ming, eat Chandler, Larry Tliff is the backup center for the two Bobcats.

This is only a preliminary agreement, the Mavericks still need to deal with some contract issues.

For example... Nowitzki announced that he would skip the 21.6 million player option for next season and take the initiative to cut his salary and renew his contract...

According to a report by Google Sports columnist Wojn Naworski, if given the chance, the Mavericks will bring in more teams, use draft picks to clear out more one-year contracts, and create a higher initial signing for Yao Ming. Later salary.

Bill - Duffy has been stationed in Dallas, and the Mavericks to discuss things about Yao Ming's new contract.

Yao Ming's trade was like throwing a depth bomb into the terribly calm trading market of the past dozen days, and it immediately stole all the attention, even the Eastern and Western Conference finals that were about to start, and James was about to go fishing after winning the mvp , Howard's Lianzhuang Best Defensive Player...all were robbed of the limelight!

Sun Ce was also robbed of the limelight...

Sun Ce became the second rookie in history to win the best sixth man. This should have been celebrated in the domestic basketball circles, but now...

...

Sun Ce didn't expect,

I actually overwhelmed Jamal Crawford and Jason Terry to get the best sixth man!

Sun Ce became the second best sixth man in history as a rookie, but... what the hell! There were only a handful of dozens of reporters who came to the press conference, which was very different from the crowded reporters when the best rookie was awarded.

Even some reporters from Memphis and Tennessee went to Dallas and Houston.

What a heartache!

But who made the Mavericks and Rockets do such a crazy thing?

The Rockets usually want to squeeze Yao Ming again, but they are just used to it. They think Yao Ming will definitely agree.

But Yao Ming was so decisive this time, anyway, the bully was responsible...

And the Mavericks have completely solved the internal problems for many years. Even if Yao Ming only has a good state of more than 20 minutes per game, Chandler can support the bench, and the two can play alternately. Defending the top few in the league, the center position has changed from the bottom of the league to the top three in the league!

Except for the Magic with Howard and Gortat, and the Lakers with Gasol, Bynum, and Odom, there is no team with a stronger center position than the Mavericks!

Even the Grizzlies, where Gasol Jr. and Jordan Jr. are expected by the media next season, have no advantage against the Mavericks at the center position. Chandler, who is at his peak, can keep up!

Kidd + Marion + Nowitzki + Yao Ming + Chandler... This core lineup is exploding!

Of course, there are also media doubts, that is, the Mavericks' dismal performance in the playoffs in the past four years, but the super lineup is accompanied by huge doubts... This is too suitable for hype, and all the media are concentrated in Texas.

In San Antonio, Popovich was speechless. They were silently preparing to change their style of play, from slow-paced defense to brisk pass-and-cut offense + defense. Suddenly, they received a call from Bill Duffy, asking if they wanted to Wanting to get Yao Ming, he hesitated all night, and the opportunity was lost!

He is really not hesitant to get Yao Ming, he has a chance to get the 30-year-old Yao Ming, and he has practiced with Duncan for two summers and lost nearly 10 kilograms of Yao Ming. You have to wait for 31 million for two years.

Popovich just suspected that Bill Duffy was joking with him, who the hell knew it was true!

...

...

Seeing people making a fortune, the Grizzlies can only envy them, and then take care of the players they already have.

They can't get Yao Ming, and Chris Wallace and Robert Pera know that.

They already have Sun Ce, and their commercial potential is not inferior to that of Yao Ming, but their rookie season has raised their ticket prices from the bottom of the league to the middle and upper reaches of the league. Although this market value is not as good as Yao Ming's rookie season brought to the Rockets. After all, Yao Ming's entry into the NBA at that time was equivalent to opening up the Chinese market.

However, the commercial value that Sun Ce has brought to the Grizzlies is already close to that of James in his rookie year. At that time, the Cavaliers directly promoted from the third-lowest ticket price in the league in the 2002-03 season and the second-lowest live broadcast games in the league. Tenth in ticket prices and tied with the Lakers for the league's No. 1 live broadcast.

As for the Knicks...the owner has his own TV station, and has formed the top three live sports leagues in North America with Canada's CBS, which is not included in the live broadcast rankings at all.

In this case, they traded Yao Ming... It is estimated that the joint application of all other teams in the league will be rejected.

It's not that I can't see the Grizzlies, but it's a waste!

Just as the Cavaliers cannot fully utilize James' commercial value, the Grizzlies' ability to accommodate Sun Ce's commercial value is already the limit.

The Grizzlies are honestly hooking up with role players who have finished their season, just like the regular season, licking their faces and letting the wind go around, interested in this, and also interested in that...

...

On May 16th, the Grizzlies had a real end-of-season celebration. Unlike the end of the regular season, they could not drink alcohol. Many players and management personnel were drunk. The rich fans and owners Pera and Randolph To fight wine, we specially pick soft persimmons.

It’s just that Sun Ce is still prohibited from drinking. After all, this is considered a public place, and there are some local politicians, celebrities, and season ticket holders. If Sun Ce is photographed drinking, he has to be fined and work in the community.

However, Chris Wallace and coach Hollins did not drink. Since the end of the Grizzlies season on the 12th, they have been busy with high-quality role players whose contracts in the league have expired.

Sun Ce, who can't drink, sat with the two of them and listened to them talking about clearing the salary space.

Chris Wallace and coach Hollins didn't hide Sun Ce's back either. If Sun Ce wanted to listen, they let Sun Ce listen.

The Grizzlies have only Randolph, Sun Ce, Conley, Gasol Jr., Battier, Jordan Jr., Anthony Parker, and Gay's bird rights, which add up to $34.72 million. With a predicted salary cap of at least $57 million next season, there is room for more than $22 million in cap space this summer.

Sun Ce heard that the team had such a large space, and thought that if the Lakers didn't want Kobe, they could take it directly, and they would be able to face the Mavericks head-on.

But listening to what the two said, Chris Wallace left enough salary space and was actually waiting for James to make a decision!

If James changes teams and retains the bird right to sign first and then change, as a 7-year veteran, according to the predicted salary cap, the maximum starting salary is $16.45 million, and the starting salary for the renewed Cavaliers is $17.15 million.

The Grizzlies eat James raw, and there is still room for a bonus of 6 million dollars... Sun Ce suddenly felt that the teams in the Southwest Division are so greedy, and there will always be room.

But... listening to the two talking about James for a long time, why does Sun Ce feel so strange?

When Chris Wallace went to the bathroom, Sun Ce finally couldn't help but asked Coach Hollins: "Coach, are we waiting for James?"

"That's right," Coach Hollins replied.

"Do you think it's possible?" Sun Ce complained.

"no way."

"Then what are we planning?"

"Fight for it and say that we really like James, what if the hell he wants to partner with our two space insiders?" Coach Hollins responded.

One more thing Coach Hollins didn't say -- what if the next team I work for gets a chance?

Except that he is the owner, or the status of the team reaches the height of Popovich, otherwise no management or coach can guarantee that he will always work on the same team.

But... Looking forward to James, you must look forward to it, more than 22 million hard space, and if it is possible to sign James, you have to give up Gay's bird rights, then you can free up several million dollars, and you can also sign James. A ten-million-level pitching guard...

After the Cavaliers were out 2 to 4 last night, Sun Ce saw a lot of news about the team's interest in James early this morning. In the entire league, more than 10 teams have vacated at least 17 million in space to take James hard.

Now his own team is also preparing to pursue James...

Not to mention, except that the city is a little... too small, they can be regarded as the perfect next home for James.

But the issue of the city, for a player with commercial value like James, is the most critical factor when making a decision.

Sun Ce feels that he still looks forward to the signings of role players from his team!

He also saw that his team had become a team of interest, with so many people interested, how many must come?
