Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight
Chapter 268 267: Next stop, three people in a row! (Thanks to the boss Cheats0 for the 5000 reward)
When Li Ang walked into Dumas' office again, the disgusting guy was standing next to Dumas.
"Long time no see, Li. Congratulations on becoming the Finals MVP last season."
Larry Brown took the initiative to shake hands with Leon, but Leon ignored him and sat across from Dumas' desk.
Li Ang never likes to engage in hypocritical human relations. Enemies are enemies and friends are friends.
Li Ang couldn't do such a bad thing as fake smiling.
Larry Brown was pushed aside in embarrassment. As a veteran coach, he was ignored by young players. To be honest, it was quite shameful.
But he wasn't angry, he just retracted his hand, still with a fake smile on his face.
"I thought there were no outsiders in this conversation." Li Ang deliberately said to Dumas after sitting down.
"Larry is not an outsider, he is our head coach now."
"Kelly did his best for the team. You can't not treat him as a basketball coach just because he looks like a comedian."
"Kelly?"
"I mean Rick Carlisle!"
Carlisle had fainted in the toilet from crying.
Stop talking, Li Ang, stop talking.
Even you think I'm a comedian!
"I'm sorry, Lee, but this is the NBA. Coach Larry, he has more experience." Dumas sighed. He actually didn't want to make the relationship between the two parties so tense.
He has no personal objections to Li Ang. If the boss is willing, Dumas also wants to renew Li Ang's contract with the maximum salary.
I just didn't expect that things would end up like this.
"Really? More experience? How many championships has he won? How many finals has he played in?"
After Li Ang said these words, Larry Brown's face became obviously gloomy, and he felt that the fake smile on his face could no longer be stretched.
Brown felt that he had never seen anyone speak so viciously except himself.
Li Ang’s trash talk is so heartbreaking!
How come you don’t have experience if you don’t have a championship? Is Popovich great? He learned from me the experience of making Bowen useless! Bowen’s instruction manual was obtained from me!
The championship coach still has to learn from my experience!
"It's not about the championship, him."
"Stop talking about it, Old Qiao, we will find a new home as soon as possible." After speaking, Li Ang stood up and shook hands with Dumas.
If nothing else, this is also the last meeting between the two parties.
When Dumars decided to let Larry Brown join the Pistons, the possibility of Lyon continuing to play in Detroit had become zero percent.
This incident also reminded Li Ang again that business is business.
So what if Carlisle won the championship for the team? That's not to say fired.
After shaking hands with Dumas, as soon as Leon walked out of the office, Larry Brown chased him out.
"Lee, we will win the championship next season. The whole world will see that without you, the Pistons will still be the strongest team in the league!"
After avoiding Dumas, Brown also took off his disguise and stopped being polite to Leon.
He officially issued a challenge to Li Ang!
This guy humiliated him, made him embarrassed again and again, and made him feel no respect. Brown will pay back everything he does.
How could a basketball coach who is famous all over the country be bullied by a foreign player in his own hometown?
Many people looked at Brown's harmless appearance and thought he was an elegant man.
It’s so funny, it’s not the first time he’s been exposed by his own players for being abusive.
Nate Robertson is such an optimistic and funny guy. He was even made to cry by Brown back then.
If this is true for his own players, then Larry Brown will not be merciful to his enemies.
"The Pistons are indeed the strongest team, but it has nothing to do with you. The existing players and the existing system are to find a dog to take over Carlisle's job. The Pistons are also a strong team." Li Ang tried hard to suppress his anger and looked down on him. With Brown.
"Hahaha, say whatever you want. I know you are not convinced, Li. But it turns out that you are really not that important. Do you really think that the team cannot function without you?
The team can be without you, but it cannot be without me. We will successfully defend the title next season, and I hope you can make the playoffs next season.
At that time, the whole world will see what a wise decision it was for Dumars not to renew your contract with the maximum salary. "
After that, Larry Brown returned to Dumas' office.
Li Ang stood at the door of the office, his fists clenched.
He really wanted to rush in and knock Brown's glasses off.
There is no way, as a professional fighting athlete, Li Ang always likes to solve problems with his fists.
Get used to this thing and it won't lie. The first reaction is always the most true.
But there is no point in breaking Brown's glasses. Li Ang came up with this bad temper. The best way is to beat his team with his own hands next season!
That is. Defeat the Pistons!
But the Pistons in the 2003-04 season were not so easy to deal with.
In the 2003-04 season in original history, the Pistons were originally the championship.
And as far as Li Ang knows, Brown can be the head coach because he guarantees that he can recruit Rasheed Wallace to fill the vacancy that he left.
In other words, the original piston five will still take shape.
It has to be said that the Pistons' exchange for Tianzun back then was almost equivalent to free prostitution.
If you want to say that Brown did not use some personal relationships, it is definitely impossible.
Otherwise, where are people’s transactions? It’s not a transaction? Why should I give you a piston for free?
Therefore, next season's Pistons, if nothing unexpected happens, can still recruit Tianzun and continue to maintain the strength to compete for the championship.
Tianzun + Brown, these two enemies of Leon join forces, and they really become the Avengers.
Even though the Spurs' introduction of Kidd seemed like a bluff, the poor owner of the Spurs who sold tractors was willing to raise two top-paid players, Kidd and Duncan, and he was very determined to win the championship.
But if Duncan is not healthy next season, Kidd will be of little use.
No one really thinks Kidd’s scoring can kill people, right?
As for the Lakers, if F4 takes shape again, there is a high probability that they will still be unable to beat the Pistons.
After all, in the original history of the 2004 Finals, the Lakers were beaten 4-1.
This kind of gap cannot be won in one try.
In the East, although the Bulls have introduced Milicic, it remains to be seen whether he can be effective. Even if Milicic really plays, they are not guaranteed to be able to defeat the Pistons.
From this point of view, the possibility that the Pistons can successfully defend their title next season is very high!
If he really defends his title, Larry Brown will succeed.
In this duel with Li Ang, he will win a great victory.
And Li Ang will be very embarrassed to unlock the achievement of "defending the title is not terrible, and whoever is missing will be embarrassed".
Leon couldn't accept such a result. To be honest, if Larry Brown hadn't been coaching, the Pistons would have successfully defended their title even without him, and Leon wouldn't be so disgusted.
But the Pistons coached by Larry Brown will never let him defend the title!
We have already done it all over again, we can't let him pick peaches again.
Is there any reason to let Lao Wang blossom and bear fruit in his own home?
Li Ang wants to prove that without him and changing coaches, the Pistons really can't win the championship!
If others can't stop the Pistons, then he will do it himself.
Therefore, Li Ang told his loyal tool man Bart Stern: "I want to go to a competitive team, preferably a team that has the ability to enter the finals next season!"
This puts Bart Stern in a difficult position.
There are indeed many teams that have made offers to Li Ang, but there are really only a few that meet the conditions to compete for the championship next season.
At present, the only one who meets the conditions may be Cuban's Mavericks.
After the Mavericks lost to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals last season, Cuban is planning a wave of retaliatory spending this summer.
He hopes to form an NBA-level Galaxy Battleship and hopes to replicate the miracle of the Trail Blazers winning the championship in 2000 by spending money.
In the summer of 2003 in original history, Cuban traded Jamison and Antoine Walker in one go.
In addition to Finley and Dirk Nowitzki, who already have annual salaries of tens of millions, the team has a total of four players with annual salaries of tens of millions. Five of the starters are All-Stars. The team's total salary is as high as 79 million US dollars, second only to Fool. Chandonix and Paul Allen, the money tycoon.
Now, Cuban has also launched retaliatory consumption.
Cuban doesn't care how much he has to pay his players next season.
The only thing he cares about is whether the team has enough stars!
Therefore, Cuban naturally also issued an offer invitation to Li Ang, an All-Star.
Because the Mavericks have no salary space and cannot directly sign without making an offer, they can only sign first and then trade.
Cuban's only requirement is that except for Nowitzki and Finley, you can choose the others as you please!
As long as the salary can match it, take it!
If I had a wife, I would even change my wife for you!
Oh no, I think I really have a wife.
Then this won’t work!
Except this, everything else will do. Anyway, Cuban just wants to gather a bunch of strong players to help Nowitzki reach the top.
This is love!
Nash:? ? ?
what about me! ?
People have double standards. When Cuban was recruiting talents across the league for Nowitzki, Nash became a commodity.
Nash has been exhausted these days because he doesn't know where he will report when he opens his eyes the next day.
Although it was not the first time, this feeling of being sold as goods still made Nash a little uncomfortable.
Just like being cheated on, you can't get used to it no matter how many times it happens.
Now, except for Nowitzki and Finley, everyone in the Mavericks is a commodity that can be sold, which makes everyone uneasy.
At present, if Li Ang wants to challenge for the championship again, the fastest shortcut is to go to the Mavericks.
But Leon didn’t want Larry Brown to take advantage.
If the breakup is amicable, signing first and then converting is a win-win situation. Since Li Ang received the maximum salary, the Pistons can also get something back in exchange.
But now that Larry Brown has entered the game, the Pistons and Leon are at odds. Signing first and then trading is not cost-effective for Li Ang.
Sign first and trade later, which is equivalent to saving the Pistons money and helping them get something back.
You'll still be humiliated when it's over.
Just dream!
At this time, Larry Brown was also discussing with Dumars to forcefully match Li Ang's contract and then trade him to a weak team!
No matter what team bids, the Pistons forcefully match. In this way, the dominance of the transaction lies with the Pistons.
When the time comes, it will be the Pistons who have the final say as to which team Li Ang will go to.
For example, if Li Ang is thrown to the Celtics to compete with Anji, he will be disgusted to death hahahaha!
Dumas looked at Brown and swallowed.
This little old man is really vicious!
This leaves no escape route for Li Ang at all.
Dumas didn't want to make things so extreme. After all, as I said before, he had no personal grudges with Leon, he just wanted to save some money.
Besides, if you think about it carefully, forced matching of contracts is simply unreasonable.
Teams that can take advantage of Li Ang's big contract will definitely be more willing to sign Li Ang naked. If you can sign naked, who would want to sign something with you first and then exchange it? When the time comes that there will be no trade, Li Ang's big contract will fall into the hands of the Pistons.
If you trade a team that cannot afford Li Ang's big contract, you will get back a big contract as well, which cannot save money.
So what is the significance of the Pistons trading Li Ang?
This is purely harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself.
Therefore, if Li Ang insists on not signing first and then changing, Dumas has nothing to do, and he will not get a cent.
Which team he goes to in the end, the initiative is still in Li Ang's hands.
Li Ang has been taking the initiative these days, taking the initiative to come and go. Li Ang found that the most suitable one is the Heat without a sign-and-trade.
Although Riley is a cold-blooded vampire, everyone has no objection to this, right?
But because Mourning has just ended his one-year contract worth more than 20 million, the Heat have room to directly sign Li Ang without signing first and then trading.
You don't want me to go to the Eastern Conference, but I go anyway. I'll be disgusted with you and beat you four times a season.
You can't even make it to the finals.
Li Ang then also met with Riley. Sitting in front of the white-haired old man with deceitful eyes, Li Ang always felt uneasy.
"Li, do you know when I started paying attention to you, me?"
"Oh, okay, okay, just tell me if you can make it to the finals next season." Li Ang waved his hand. He was already full from eating cakes this summer, so he couldn't hold back any more!
"You can enter the finals. You can win the championship. I have a big plan, a very big one. O'Neal, is it big enough?"
As soon as Riley said this, Li Ang's eyes suddenly lit up.
If O'Neal really comes a year early, it won't just be Larry Brown who will be pissed to death.
I guess that boy with small hands in Los Angeles must also be going crazy.
This wave kills two birds with one stone.
Kobe and O'Neal couldn't win the championship. As a result, O'Neal changed hands and cooperated with Li Ang and won a championship. This is crazy.
It’s so doggy, but I like it!
Li Ang has decided that his next stop will be the Miami Heat!
As a result, as soon as Li Ang contacted the Heat, the Lakers signed Payton and Malone.
The first-generation Lakers F4 officially debuted as a group!
The Spurs' signing of Kidd really scared the shit out of the Lakers.
The Lakers know that Gouzi is going to be serious this time even if he loses everything.
You want to have more superstars than me, right? Then don't blame me for being rude!
As a result, the Lakers quickly acquired Payton, the former DPOY guard.
When Malone saw this formation, did he still need to think about it?
If you want to win the championship, you have to understand the situation clearly.
This is called pattern!
Ever since, Malone, who averaged 20+7+4 per game last season, was actually willing to join the Lakers with a one-year minimum salary!
I really just invest with the basic salary.
When Malone was abused by Li Ang last season and couldn't take care of himself, he thought about transferring. Salt Lake City is no longer where he belongs.
He couldn't be pinned down by Li Ang all his life. He had to get up and turn over occasionally.
This is a good opportunity to turn around!
If Li Ang and the Pistons reach the finals again next season, Malone can personally teach that damn guy Li Ang a lesson.
Well, Malone probably spent this holiday saving souls and having illegitimate children instead of watching the news.
Damn it for Leon and the Pistons.
If Li Ang and the Pistons enter the finals at the same time next season, it will only prove that Li Ang has gone to the West.
O'Neal, who was originally unhappy with Kobe, suddenly felt happy again when he saw this lineup.
After all, who can have trouble with the champion? Even if it requires putting up with someone like Kobe.
If he can win the championship, O'Neal doesn't think it is unacceptable to endure Kobe for another year.
Damn it, I want to live in Los Angeles for the rest of my life, I’m not leaving!
The emergence of the Lakers F4 put Riley's plan to poach the Sharks on hold.
Riley was helpless. This meant that the plan could not keep up with the changes.
So he told Li Ang: "There will be, there will be. The Sharks will have it, and the championship will also be there. But, you have to wait! When the Lakers fail again this season, I guarantee my character, the Sharks will be 100% One omnipotent travels eastward!"
It's not that Li Ang doesn't believe Riley, after all, this did happen.
But damn, I just didn’t want to wait before I came to you!
I have been talking to you for so long.
They are all willing to teach Wade the martial arts secrets.
I am willing to be fucked by you on the training ground every day.
In the end, it still depends on the shark’s face?
If there are no Shaqs next season, the Heat will have nothing to lose.
Good guy, I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten by the Pistons in the playoffs.
No, be more confident, and the Bulls who may have added Milicic can beat the Heat.
After all, Wade next season will only be a rookie Wade, and he will be much weaker than the Wade who won the championship in 2006.
O'Neal's decision to stay on the team made Li Ang hesitate, and the originally bright prospect fell into a deadlock.
Originally, I wanted to travel happily with Carolina this summer and relax.
But the sudden transfer incident made Li Ang very tired.
Not only does he have to transfer, he also has to move to a place where he can't lose to the Pistons, and he also has to avoid sign-and-trades as much as possible.
This is so damn hard.
At this time, there are not many big fish in the free agent market, and basically only O'Neal Jr. and Li Ang are left.
Li Ang reads transfer news online every day. As he flips through it, he suddenly discovers something that is different from the original history.
The Phoenix Suns packaged Marbury and "Penny" Hardaway to the Knicks in exchange for Antonio McDyess, Charlie Ward, Howard Ellis, Mazie Lampe and the 2004 and 2006 Two first-round picks.
This deal allowed the Suns to get rid of two big burdens, Marbury and Hardaway.
Although Antonio McDyess's contract is also very large, and it is an out-and-out garbage contract. Two consecutive seasons of serious injuries have caused McDyess's strength to decline significantly.
But after all, his contract is expiring in only one year.
When next summer arrives, the Suns will be able to free up more than 10 million in salary space in an instant.
Li Ang smiled, Nix is really not short of money.
Once this deal is done, the Knicks' salary next season will skyrocket to more than 90 million, almost hundreds of millions!
This is 2003!
What is the concept of spending 100 million dollars a year on salary? If the Pistons had this courage, would Li Ang still have to deal with so many broken things?
The reason why this deal attracted Li Ang was not only because he lamented that the Knicks had so much stupid money, but also because this deal happened more than half a year earlier than in the original history.
Li Ang sighed, when will my transfer be finalized?
As a result, not long after the transaction took place, Li Ang's cell phone rang.
The caller was Marbury.
"Man, how do you feel about going back to your hometown to play ball?" Li Ang thought Lao Ma was asking him to go to New York to eat fruit plate with him.
As a result, Lao Ma's tone was serious.
"Stop talking, brother, listen to me, the big one is coming!
Do you know why the Suns traded me? Because they want to free up cap space to get you! "
Marbury is still stupid now. He always thought that they signed Li Ang to assist him!
In the end, for Li Ang, he was given away by the sun as part of the bargaining chip!
What a sin!
Li Ang's head was buzzing, what the hell? What does the deal between the Knicks and the Suns have to do with me?
Besides, the Suns don't have enough salary space, not to mention they have to renew Marion's contract and sign me naked.
"I know you're a little confused, but I'm not lying to you. I don't know much, but I can give you a name."
"A name?"
"Yes, a name, O'Neal."
"Why is it O'Neal again?" Li Ang can't help it. The Suns and O'Neal have a relationship with each other?
O'Neal has decided to stay with the Lakers!
"Ah? Why did you say that again? Oh, you should be mentally prepared. In the next few days, the big one is coming! No more talk, brother, I'll go cry for a while."
Marbury hung up the phone, not knowing whether he should cry or laugh.
To be honest, Marbury is actually quite happy to be able to return to his hometown of New York to play.
But he just helped the Suns defeat the Spurs in the playoffs last season, and now he is being sold at a low price just because the Suns want to free up salary space. It is really sad.
Moreover, the Suns' purpose of freeing up salary space is still for Li Ang.
Damn it, he had been patting his chest before and said that he would definitely succeed in recruiting Li Ang.
It is also said that brothers working together can cut through metal. Good guy, it turns out that I am gold.
This is a mixed blessing for Marbury.
Li Ang hung up the phone, his mind was confused.
The Suns sent Marbury away for me?
So what are the Suns going to do next to tie O'Neal and me together?
Li Ang thought about it all night but couldn't figure it out.
The next day, Li Ang learned that Suns general manager Colangelo Jr. would personally visit him in Detroit.
Talk to yourself about the transfer.
By the way, let’s also talk about breaking out of the Western Conference next season.
At Li Ang's house, Colangelo shared his plan with Li Ang.
Li Ang swallowed after hearing this, if this can really happen.
The changes I have brought to this world are crazier than I imagined.
The free agent market is still very lively, and in a series of news in the free agent market, there is a less eye-catching news: the Pacers fired Thomas, the smiling assassin, and he will no longer be the head coach of the Pacers next season. .
This may seem like inconspicuous news, but in Indianapolis, Bird's head exploded.
"Rick Carlisle is an excellent coach. He led the Pistons to the championship last season! Moreover, he is my old teammate, and I know his character! I guarantee that he can lead the team on the right track! "
Bird roared at the big black man standing in front of him.
After yelling, he rubbed his temples. It’s too difficult to manage, this generation of players is too difficult to manage!
After Carlisle was fired by the Pistons, Bird immediately approached his old teammate, hoping that he could coach his team.
After all, the Smiling Assassin really hasn't done much good in the Pacers these days. Bird felt that he was not even as good as himself.
But Bird never imagined that this decision would actually make O'Neal Jr. furious.
"I know, I worked with Carlisle, he was an assistant coach with the Trail Blazers.
But with all due respect, I have no impression of him. And Thomas is like a father figure to me, you know that.
You also promised that you will continue to cooperate with Thomas. But now you have found someone to replace him. I am very disappointed with the team's approach, very disappointed! "
O'Neal Jr. was more emotional than Bird. He was quite dissatisfied with the team's dismissal of the Smiling Assassin.
After all, O'Neal Jr. has been without a father since he was a child. The lack of father's love was his biggest regret in childhood.
The fatherly love that little O'Neal lacks basically comes from his middle school basketball coach Gram.
Coach Gram constantly switches between the roles of "strict teacher" and "loving father". In private, he is very strict with O'Neal.
But in the outside world, Gram tried to keep O'Neal under his wing as much as possible.
Therefore, O'Neal Jr. treats the coaches who have given him great help as his father.
Including Thomas, the smiling assassin who made him successful in the NBA.
In O'Neal's heart, Thomas is not only the head coach, but also his relative and his boss.
Like Gram, he is a father-like figure.
Now, the Pacers have waived him without hesitation, which makes O'Neal Jr. heartbroken.
He looked at the indifferent Bird, clenched his fists, and uttered a few words one by one: "I will never renew my contract with the team, absolutely impossible!"
Although Bird remained calm on the surface, he was actually panicking in his heart.
Brother, please stop joking, okay? No, I'll make you a bowl of noodles?
I just changed the coach, what about you?
I'm willing to give you the maximum salary, but you still want to pay?
From the beginning of the offseason to now, O'Neal has not decided to renew his contract.
He went to San Antonio to talk about life with Popovich, and then went to Los Angeles to discuss with Baylor how the runner-up had more points than Jordan.
Bird knew that Indianapolis was not a big ball market, so he was mentally prepared for O'Neal to walk away.
But he really didn't expect that the last straw that broke O'Neal's life would be the Smiling Assassin.
Bird really couldn't empathize with such things. After all, he had not lacked his father's love since he was a child. Moreover, because Bird was cheated by the Celtics, he will never regard anyone in the league as a relative.
He couldn't understand O'Neal's obsession with treating the coach as his father.
Li Ang swallowed when he saw the news of Thomas being fired.
Historically, after the Smiling Assassin was dismissed from get out of class, O'Neal also said, "I will never renew my contract with the Pacers."
Xiao Ao is a very loyal person, which can be seen from the battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
At that time, O'Brien actually had a very bad relationship with Artest, but because Artest was his teammate, he resolutely chose to help out.
In his own words: "I want to make sure everyone gets back safely."
But maybe it's because the original Pacers are really capable, and Bird is willing to give him the maximum salary. So in the end, little O'Neal chose money between money and his father.
But it's different now. The current Pacers' results are not ideal, and they didn't even make the playoffs last season.
For O'Brien, the only attraction of this team may be the Smiling Assassins.
As a result, Bird fired the Smiling Assassin with a snap.
Doesn't this really push O'Neal further out?
Li Ang waited, waiting for little Colangelo's move.
All of this is happening according to the pie he drew!
Early the next morning, Li Ang received a call from Colangelo, saying that everything had been settled.
The road has been paved, now, just wait for Li Ang to nod!
Li Ang took a deep breath and prepared to execute Taiyang's crazy plan.
Although it is risky, at the moment, this is the best way to compete with Larry Brown.
"Let's get started." Li Ang said softly into the phone receiver.
And history has also changed.
That morning, the Suns used the 2004 first-round draft pick + Tom Gugliotta acquired from the Knicks in exchange for the little-known undrafted Raja Bell from the Jazz.
The salary of this deal is extremely mismatched, because Gugliotta's annual salary is as high as tens of millions of dollars, while Ragnarok Bale only has a basic salary. However, because the Jazz have salary space, the deal can be completed without balancing.
Although Gugliotta has an annual salary of tens of millions, he only contributed 3.7 points last season, which is one of the biggest garbage contracts in the league.
Therefore, what the Jazz are looking for in this round is the 2004 Knicks draft pick.
You give me draft picks, I help you eat bad contracts, and everyone gets what they want.
Gugliotta's junk contract only has one year left, so it doesn't matter. Anyway, after Malone leaves, the Jazz's goal next season is to rebuild.
Sloan believes that Marbury going to the Knicks will not help that team get out of trouble.
This pick should be quite valuable.
Trading Laga Bell for a good draft pick would not be a loss this time.
The Suns got their wish and freed up tens of millions more salary space. Coupled with the salary cap increase of 3 million this summer, they are fully capable of showing off their talents!
Marion was happy. The team worked hard to renew my contract!
Marion is still young, and Li Ang learned one thing this summer - don't be happy too early.
As expected, Marion was happy. After freeing up space, the Suns changed hands and made big news:
"The Phoenix Suns and Li Ang have reached a verbal agreement on a six-year maximum salary. The starting salary in the first year is 10.96 million, the total salary is 78 million in six years, and the last year is a player option! The official signing is about to be completed!"
This news is absolutely a bombshell, and ESPN even urgently broadcast this news during football games. After all, Li Ang is one of the biggest players on this year's free agent market.
Moreover, the plot of Where Did Li Ang Go has been going on for a long time, and everyone is intrigued.
Now that the finale is suddenly approaching, we must report it quickly.
Dumas looked at the news and shook his head.
Because the Pistons got nothing, they originally wanted the Suns to send Stoudemire in a sign-and-trade.
But the Suns refused. You must either match this nearly 80 million contract or let Li Ang go.
When Davidson heard that it was 80 million, it was like a mother-in-law. How much money is this?
You might as well trade my life for it, it's a good match.
Release him immediately!
Therefore, the Pistons had no choice but to give up the match in the end and gave Li Ang to the Suns in vain, leaving not a hair for Larry Brown!
Larry Brown also sighed. It was a pity that he couldn't throw Leon to Boston.
But it doesn't matter, the Suns are in dire straits right now, and there's no one in the team who can play well. The only one who is not bad is probably the ridiculously ugly Marion.
Next season, the Pistons can crush the Suns into shit!
However, signing Li Ang is only the first step in the Suns' operation this summer.
Soon, the Suns and Marion also reached an agreement on a maximum salary extension, but as soon as the extension was completed, Marion was sent to Dallas.
Cuban, who is worried about having money but no place to spend it, said that we don’t care about appearance here, Marion, come here quickly!
Marion joined the Mavericks in a sign-and-trade manner, and the Suns acquired Steve Nash and Danny Fortson from the Mavericks!
Danny Fortson is a salary balancer, and the main subjects of this transaction are Nash and Marion.
Marion and Nash, Colangelo chose the latter.
After all, we already have Li Ang, so asking for Marion seems to be a bit of an overlap.
Colangelo has been thinking about wanting Nash to go home for a long time. They believe that the Canadian point guard can burst out with more power.
Moreover, Colangelo also discussed with Li Ang, and Li Ang expressed his willingness to cooperate with Nash.
As a result, Colangelo implemented his second plan and recruited Nash.
The Suns made two signings in one day, which really caught everyone off guard.
But with Leon + Nash, Larry Brown feels that he should be able to handle it.
Nash + Nowitzki can't go far, let alone Nash + Leon.
Could it be possible that Li Ang's offense could be stronger than that of a German tank?
It's okay, the piston is abused!
Li Ang's palms were sweating, according to the plan Colangelo told him. Next, there is the final move!
At night, when everyone was discussing the news that Leon and Nash were joining forces in Arizona, Colangelo dropped the third bombshell!
He used Antonio McDyess and the 2006 first-round draft pick from the Knicks to sign and trade from the Pacers to get Jermaine O'Neal at the maximum salary!
The name Marbury gave before was correct, it was O'Neal.
It's just that this O'Neill is not Bonnier.
Because the Pacers completely annoyed Xiao Ao, there was no hope of renewing the contract. You know, O'Neal Jr. is not a restricted free agent. The Pacers don't even have the right to force a match. They can go wherever they like.
Instead of watching O'Neill being signed away for nothing, it is better to sign and trade first to at least keep something.
As a loyal person, O'Neal Jr. also agreed to the Pacers and was willing to leave something for his home team.
Based on the Knicks' poor behavior, Bird thinks their 2006 draft pick should be pretty good.
And because McDyess only has one year left on his contract, it will expire next year. By then, the Pacers will also be able to operate in the free agent market.
The reason why O'Neal chose the Suns is not only because there are Leon and Nash here, but also because of a small detail - earlier today, Colangelo signed Gram, the middle school coach who regarded O'Neal as his father. , as the team’s player development consultant!
So he is the son of the ugly National Basketball Association talker? Colangelo plays the worldly part very clearly.
Bird lost O'Neal, and the truth is that no one understands this aspect.
So, this basketball is all about human relationships.
At this point, the entire league was dumbfounded.
The Suns have swallowed two of the three big fish in this year's free agent market.
Except for Kidd, everyone was taken away by Phoenix.
Li Ang also swallowed, even though Colangelo had told him the whole process of the plan before. But now that it has really been achieved, Li Ang is still very shocked.
Previously in the Raptors and Pistons, although the arrival of Li Ang also changed the team, the changes were not particularly big.
But now, this sun has turned into a completely different sun!
Nash and O'Neal Jr.
Li Ang feels that he has the confidence to fight against the Pistons and many strong teams in the Western Conference!
Let's not talk about Nash. In the 2003-04 season of the original history, O'Neal was a player in the top three levels of MVP. Before this guy got injured, he was indeed a super high-level player and a dominant player in the world.
And Li Ang himself will continue to evolve.
Larry Brown may not have an easy time next season!
And after the 2004 playoffs, if history does not change, then this team will still lead the dream team to the Athens Olympics.
Well, the Olympics.
Li Ang had to give him a thorough treatment in both arenas!
Nail Brown to the pillar of shame!
Seeing everyone on the TV marveling at the Suns' operation that almost changed the team, Li Ang's heart was beating wildly.
The Suns have really undergone a major change this time, with all three cores being newly added.
In the regular season next season, running-in will be very important.
But with Nash, the master of court control, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
The only suspense now is that the team's head coach has not yet been determined.
The Suns' head coach last season was the little-known Frank Johnson.
But if the Suns' goal next season is to compete for the championship, Johnson will definitely be unable to be reused.
However, because the Suns' lineup has changed a lot now, Colangelo may not necessarily ask Mustache D'Antoni again.
Judging from the Suns' starters that can be predicted now, the Suns' three-point shooting ability next season will not be particularly strong.
Therefore, I'm afraid I won't be able to play D'Antoni's space-opening run and gun.
Carlisle is definitely the best candidate, but he has been given a head start by the Pacers. Carlisle doesn't go to the Pacers, and O'Neill can't come to Phoenix.
Whether the head coach is reliable or not will directly determine whether the Suns can perfectly integrate next season.
Everything is ready, except for someone to sit on the coaching bench.
Just as Li Ang was thinking about it, Nash called.
Maybe it was because the incident happened so suddenly that he stuttered.
"Lee Lee Lee Lee."
"What are you doing? When are you going to Arizona? Let's look for a house together."
"Li Liang!"
Li Ang:.
I've already started to say the next sentence!
"Look, look, look."
"It's best to find two houses that are closer together, so that I can go to your house to eat."
"Looking for a house? Okay."
The corner of Li Ang's mouth twitched. The tacit understanding between himself and Nash was overturned as soon as they started.
You can't even talk on the same channel! Damn it!
It's normal for Nash to stutter when he speaks. After all, unlike Li Ang, he has known the sun's plan for a long time.
Li Ang was not shocked, but was shocked in advance.
Today is indeed quite exciting for Nash.
Soon, Xiao Ao also called.
"Crabs don't have meat, wow, pfft."
"Uh I'm fine."
"We must reach the finals next season, I hope you won't hold us back!"
After that, Xiao Ao hung up the phone.
Li Ang was stunned, no?
Are you the FMVP or am I the FMVP?
Who is holding whom back? Hey!
You didn’t even play in the playoffs last season, how dare you tell me this!
Damn it, are all the players in Big Cornfield so unique now?
Just as Li Ang hung up Xiao Ao's call, his cell phone rang again.
But this time, it was none other than Ben who called.
Suddenly, Li Ang fell silent, and his expression became no longer cheerful.
Goodbye is always hard to say.
Thanks to Cheats0 for the 5000 reward, thank you! Thanks to Li Jiachao, Zishan Sultan and other big guys for the rewards, thank you all! Today is also a day where I can solve the final suspense of this volume in one step! The 21st consecutive day of 10,000-word update, please beg for monthly votes!
