Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

All reinforcements for next season were completed in one week. The Knicks' operation shocked everyone, two assistant coaches, one player, and... that's it?!

This is no less than going to a five-star hotel and ordering two plates of shredded potatoes and, oh, a bowl of rice.

It's not that the shredded potato rice bowl is not delicious, but it is too far from the fans' expectations. This is the summer of 2010 when there are countless "big fish", many super giants, more than 20

Stars, let's be honest, Kobe Bryant only has a one-year contract with the Lakers!

If you recruit one or two, it will directly change the structure of the entire league. Even if you don't recruit superstars like James and Wade, you can still recruit one or two second-rate stars like Boozer!

Don’t we, the New York Knicks, have a lot of money?

This sense of disparity has caused many media to question their souls: "When did the New York Knicks become so stingy?"

Is this the same Knicks that a few years ago, when people were stupid and had too much money, they would just wave their money around and raise prices and take advantage of them!

You must know that the league's salary cap this season is approximately 54 million US dollars. Yes, that's right, this is the number in this era. Looking at it from the perspective of more than ten years later, this is simply a thing of the last century, but this is what is real at this time.

Salary cap standards.

In the 2009-10 season, Tracy McGrady has the highest salary in the league, with his annual salary reaching 23.24 million US dollars, Duncan's annual salary is 22.18 million US dollars, O'Neal's annual salary is 20 million US dollars, and Nowitzki's annual salary is 19.8 million US dollars. They are the biggest stars in the league and also

The most expensive star.

In this era, the league's maximum salary is about 20 million yuan per year, and there are only a handful of billion-dollar contracts.

but!

These stars, these salaries have nothing to do with the Knicks!

In Zuo Li's third year as a rookie, he had a 31-year contract. In the third year, he could get a 4 million contract. Among the rookies, Zuo Li is the well-deserved boss, but this salary is incompatible with his performance and his status as a winner of all honors.

Than, that's bullshit.

The outside world has criticized this, with many saying that Zuo Li should receive a salary of at least 30 million yuan.

But, there is no way, this is the rule, currently Zuo Li can only take it this way.

The highest salary in New York next season is Randolph's 12 million. Although David Lee just renewed his contract last season, this season is the last year of his old contract. This year he will get about 6.5 million, which is the last year of Keli.

The contract amount is 'up to' 5 million, Dragic is 1.4 million, Anderson is 1.5 million, Belinelli is 2 million, Ewing Jr. is 500,000...

As for Curry, Danny Green, and Beverley, the three who have just got rid of their rookie status will not be mentioned. The total sum is only 2 million, of which 1.5 million is Curry's...

No way, most of them are still rookies!

All in all, there are still less than 36 million...

Oh, forget about Shane Battier who just arrived. Last season he made 6.86 million with the Rockets. This season’s high is 7.3 million...

The salary of everyone in the Knicks combined has just reached 40 million...

In other words, this summer, the Knicks can use 13 million in salary space, and this number is enough to sign a league superstar!

This is also the reason why the outside world is looking forward to the Knicks in the summer. There is no way, this space is simply too big. Except for the Nets, no team in the entire league can match the Knicks.

So this is also the reason why the Knicks won the championship and I don’t know how many league managers broke the defense. Damn it, we paid so much luxury tax and spent so much money, but in the end we couldn’t beat the Knicks who didn’t spend much money!

Is there any more justice?

But, this is reality, and this is something that cannot be envied.

Therefore, in the summer, the Knicks had scandals with many free agent stars, and there were even rumors that James would join forces with Zuo Li. In short, people believed that the Knicks would make a big splash in the summer.

The result... In 7 days, with one player, the Knicks managed everything.

"The Knicks are really too confident." ESPN commented on this on the 8th program, but they must also admit that the Knicks have the qualifications to be confident, who makes them the defending champion.

Moreover, it seems reasonable to do so. After all, as a champion, retaining the integrity and stability of the lineup is the most important. Blind splitting can easily have the opposite effect.

So after the Knicks announced the news, the outside world could only accept the fact that the Knicks' work was done.

In this regard, Dolan, who saw the news, could only spread his hands. His friends were also ready to fight, but there was no way. Zuo Li said it was enough, so it must be enough!

In this regard, Zuo Li said that the current lineup is really great, and any transaction would be superfluous.

Center: Zuo Li, Anderson, Ewing Jr.

Power forward: Randolph, David Lee.

Small forward: Shane Battier, Danny Green.

Shooting guard: Belinelli, Crawford.

Point guard: Curry, Dragic, Beverley.

There are still three spots left, and the Knicks will transfer a few players from the second line, but they will basically rely on these 12 players to make a difference, and these 12 players are already strong enough.

With the addition of assistant coaches, what the Knicks have to do now is to continue to optimize tactics and at the same time, allow the rookies to further grow.

This is the real future to look forward to.

After settling the deal, Zuo Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. His mission had been completed. Now, it was someone else's turn to make a grand appearance.

"Hey, Olson, let's set off tonight. You don't need to bring too many clothes. You can just buy them when you get there."

"Huh? Why are you so anxious?"

"Of course that's because we have to get away from this place of right and wrong before the storm comes~!"

…

On the evening of July 8th, the relaxed Zuo Li, O Mei and the 12 people accompanying them set off for Hawaii. Their summer began with a vacation.

And while they were still on the plane, the storm that had been brewing for months finally hit!

"From Cleveland's darling to America's supervillain, sometimes all it takes is a decision."

No. 9, the day when the myth is broken.

On the morning of July 9th, it was a day later than Zuo Li remembered, but that was not important. What was important was that when Cleveland fans turned on the TV as usual, they wanted to search for news about the team’s contract extension with star LeBron James.

At that time, they saw the scene they least expected to see.

On ESPN's program "The Decision", James appeared in a suit and sat on the bench. James announced a decision that shocked the world. He would leave the Cavaliers and bring his talents to the South Coast.

"This was a very difficult decision. I decided to take my talents to the South Coast and join the Heat."

"This is where I have the best chance to win, not in the regular season, but in the championship. We're going to form a real, good team."

…

Most of the audience sitting in front of the TV were stunned, and the audience sitting in the field was also stunned. No one applauded, only whispers of surprise and the sound of people gasping. James will go to Miami to create

A super team, and he just announced it to the world in a very bad way.

James Wade?

The world is really crazy!

However, this was just the beginning of the madness, because just two hours later, the Raptors also announced that star Bosh would leave the team, and at the same time, Bosh announced that he also chose to join the Heat!

The Big Three, three stars in their prime, announced salary cuts at the same time... Miami is really getting hot!
