Chapter 1261 1260. The Big Four of the Lakers! (310 for guaranteed monthly tickets)

The Spurs brought in Artest; the Hawks broke up their lineup and reorganized, and used two potential stocks to replace two combat forces. In addition to adding two useless first-round picks of the Hawks, they also got a high probability of a first-round pick. The key is that the core structure of the Hawks has not changed...

The Lakers are not calm!

The Spurs and the Hawks are the two biggest rivals of the Lakers!

Originally, after the Hawks won three consecutive championships, if there were no major trades, the overall performance of the Hawks next season might not be particularly good. The regular season was okay, but in the playoffs, the physical condition would probably be very bad. As the creator of the last three consecutive championships, the Lakers are well aware of this situation. In the 02-03 season playoffs, even Kobe, a physical freak, performed weakly.

Rasheed Wallace is one year older. Josh Smith, a third-year player, wants him to be the second-in-command of the inside offense. He can do it very well and be the core of the inside... The Lakers are happy to see the Hawks make such a decision.

But the Hawks have upgraded their guns and got Shawn Marion, a genius in his prime who can defend from one to five, and an All-Star power forward who can get 20+10 per game without Steve Nash...

The Hawks are relatively okay. Anyway, they still need to solve the problem of running-in in the East.

The Spurs are different. The Spurs have used Stephen Jackson, Bonzi Wells, and Sprewell, three thorns, and they have integrated very well. Artest joining the Spurs is undoubtedly a luxurious and enhanced version of these three. Artest can barely be regarded as an all-around player who can give you whatever you want. Although he is not proficient in most other things except defense, his strong body has always been good at defending Kobe.

The Lakers felt panic.

They also proposed a deal to the Pacers and Rockets, but the Pacers were unwilling to trade with the Lakers. The Pacers have always been like this from the past to the present and in the future. Although the Rockets have a good relationship with the Lakers, the Lakers cannot give the Rockets the potential they want, and none of the two forward reinforcements have been completed.

Just when the Lakers felt that they were in a huge crisis with the drug-taking combination, logo came to the rescue and announced that the Grizzlies would rebuild and reach a deal with the Lakers!

According to the existing rules, Brian Grant, who was cut by the Lakers using the first-generation amnesty clause Alan Houston clause, still has his bird rights. The Lakers and Brian Grant renewed their contract with a partially guaranteed contract of 6 million.

On July 11, 2006, the Lakers traded for Pau Gasol from the Grizzlies in exchange for Brian Grant's $6 million contract with a partial guarantee of $1.5 million, Chris Mihm, Stanislav Medvedenko, the 2007 unprotected first-round pick, the 2009 unprotected first-round pick, the 2012 unprotected first-round pick, and the 2014 lottery-protected pick!

Unlike the Hawks' trades, which were all so shocking, the Lakers' trades always came suddenly!

When people saw that the Spurs and the Hawks were making reinforcements and were still wondering why the Lakers hadn't made any moves, the Lakers suddenly completed a shocking robbery!

When this trade came out, it was more shocking than the Hawks' robbery of Shawn Marion and the Spurs' taking down the thorn again despite the danger!

The Hawks also sent out potential stocks plus two draft picks, as well as Calderon, a poor and slow version of Nash, to serve as Nash's substitute.

The Lakers spent almost nothing to get Paul Gasol, one of the best power forwards in the league, from the Grizzlies!

That bargaining chip is simply outrageous!

Chris Mihm is only the fourth inside player of the Lakers, Medvedenko has long been unable to play, and Brian Grant simply went to get a "help fee" of 1.5 million US dollars after retirement!

It is foreseeable that the three first-round picks of the Lakers in 2007, 2009, and 2012 will not be much more valuable than the first-round pick given by the Hawks to the Suns. When the Lakers may enter the reconstruction in 2014, that draft pick is lottery protected!

In other words, the Grizzlies can only expect that the Lakers will not be able to enter the playoffs starting from 2014 ten years later, and the Lakers will be so bad that they will get a high draft pick when the draft pick becomes unprotected in 2016. The Grizzlies may get a high draft pick in 2016 at the latest...

By that time, the opportunity will be cold!

And the Lakers have basically used up most of their future draft picks.

After the Lakers tricked others into turning their two draft picks into No. 1 picks and selected Magic Johnson and James Worthy in succession, the league made a rule that a maximum of seven first-round picks can be traded in 10 years. The Lakers are overspending their entire future. They had already used the first-round picks from 2006, 2008 and 2010 to trade Yao Ming before, and this time they used four first-round picks, with three unprotected picks from 2007, 2009 and 2012 and a lottery-protected pick from 2014. That means starting from next season, the Lakers will only have a first-round pick in 2011 in the next seven years, and all of the first-round picks from the other six years have been given away. However, the Lakers are not a team built on the draft, and they are quite decisive in going all-in.

Basically, by 2013, the Big Three were all old, and it was time to rebuild again, so the 2014 draft pick was lottery protected, and the old Buss was still healthy. Mitch Kupchak, who was not disturbed by the young Buss, made a good plan for the future.

And the logo gave Kupchak, his apprentice for 13 years from 1986 to 1999, a huge assist!

The Lakers instantly stole all the limelight. When the Hawks and Spurs were still in doubt about forming the "Big Four", the Lakers formed the "Big Four" first!

After getting Gasol, the Lakers quickly signed Matt Barnes, whose team option was rejected by the 76ers. There was no better choice. They chose Matt Barnes, who had been wandering around for the past few years, because he was cheap and easy to use.

Originally, they wanted to rob Delfino from the Pistons, but their first-round picks had been used up, so they had to settle for the next best thing.

After acquiring Gasol in the trade, Yao Ming did not renew his contract. Instead, he retained his bird rights with a qualification offer of 7.36 million US dollars, which did not occupy a particularly large space. He waited for the Lakers to trade Yao Ming, and the Lakers renewed his contract with the 6-year "Ace Clause" under the new rules.

On July 10, the NBA announced the salary cap for the new season, which was 56.39 million US dollars, an increase of more than 3 million US dollars compared to last season.

Yao Ming and the Lakers renewed their contract with a starting salary of 16.9 million, a total of 6 years and 130 million US dollars.

The Big Four combination of Kobe, Odom, Gasol, and Yao Ming was born!

When Liu Mang heard the news, he felt accustomed to it... The Lakers' power... is not worse than the Celtics...

The Hawks often robbed, but the Hawks robbed those who did not mix well in the original team, such as trading Rahim for McGrady, and most of the Hawks robbed were not so suitable for the team, but they were well integrated later.

Josh Smith was traded for peak Marion, and they paid for the draft pick...

The Lakers are different. In the past two years, they have directly poached the best cores of the Rockets and Grizzlies!

Liu Mang can only look to Granger, Rondo, and Millsap for comfort...
