Build a Dream Dynasty

The Nets players whose contracts have expired are divided into three categories. One is that the team wants to stay, but does not want to disrupt the future team building plan, and then there are some differences. The team's starting shooting guard Fernandez, power forward Weiss Te are among them. The former wants a 3-4 year ten million contract, while the team is only willing to give a 2-year short contract. The latter accepted a two-year contract, but couldn't agree with the team on salary. The team is still actively talking to Fernandez, but at present, the departure of these two people is a high probability event.

The second is the players who have made up their minds to leave the team. Yi Jianlian has already made the decision to return to the CBA. Little Curry does not want to continue to live in the shadow of his brother, so he decides to go out and make a difference. In the last two years of his career, he won two championships in a row. After realizing his dream, Hill also chose to retire, but he accepted Jiang Mingliang's invitation and will continue to stay in the team as a trainer.

Finally, there are players who are not sure whether to stay in the team and need to weigh various factors before making a decision, including Crowder, Butler, and Ray Allen. For Ray Allen, the team certainly hopes that he will stay on the team. This veteran has performed quite well in the playoffs, and he is very self-disciplined and professional. He is a good example for his teammates. However, the Nets will definitely not continue to offer him a salary of 6 million, and can only offer a basic salary for veterans.

With so many players leaving in one breath, shocks may be inevitable. But it is a big taboo for a hero who has no brains and high salaries to renew his contract, especially under the NBA's management system. Jiang Mingliang is not afraid of paying luxury tax, but the potential crisis of super luxury tax is still very scary. These players in front of them are not the ones who are worth throwing money at indiscriminately and sabotaging future plans.

In principle, the decision to avoid taxes in the next season was knocked out, Jiang Mingliang and Stevens. Thomas also needs to discuss the team's next signing goals. The team's current lineup includes seven players including Curry, Lopez, Leonard, McCollum, Hinrich, Boban, and Green, plus the unsigned rookie Porzingis, a total of eight players. people. There is still a lot of room for reinforcement.

"At the point guard position, Curry and Hinrich can basically guarantee the normal operation of the team. McCollum can also appear in this position. In principle, you don't have to worry too much, but if possible, sign a player with physical fitness. A better defensive guard, it is also a good decision to bring more changes to the team." Stevens gave such suggestions.

Thomas immediately wrote in his notebook. Such a positioning is not easy to attract good players. Jiang Mingliang and Thomas need to pan for gold and find candidates.

On the team's wing position, there are only two people, McCollum and Leonard, which is obviously not enough. When the team's development strategy has changed and Ray Allen can no longer provide a high salary, he may not choose to stay on the team. As for Crowder and Butler, the former depends on the price, and the latter is basically given up by the team.

"The Celtics' Bradley's contract expires this season. They have Rondo, Smart, and Joe Johnson in their team. We can try to quote and see the situation. Maybe there is a chance?" When it was determined that Thompson and Bill could not be obtained, Jiang Mingliang considered Bradley as the candidate.

"I don't think the Celtics will let it go. They value Bradley very much." Stevens said, "I have a selfish candidate, Hayward of the Utah Jazz."

The Jazz, which has a large number of young talents, is also facing great pressure to renew the contract. The contracts of Hayward and Favors have expired this season. The team reached a 4-year 64 million contract with Favors. Reached a maximum salary renewal contract with Thompson ahead of schedule. The pressure has increased sharply, and for Hayward, he is asked to find an offer in the free agent market, and the team has no brains to match.

It is said to be a brainless match, but if it is really a brainless match, wouldn't it be better to just give a maximum salary or a quasi-maximum salary?

Although Hayward is more accustomed to the small forward position, he can swing to the second position. He is excellent in offense and defense, has the ability to organize offense, and has strong physical confrontation. He is known as the white James and plays the game very well. A quasi-professional player with a beautiful wife. . . . . . Anyway, if the Jazz really don't match, the Nets won't lose if they eat him. Hayward is Stevens' old player, so he is afraid that he won't adapt to the team's tactics? Compared to Fernandez, this is definitely an upgrade. Anyway, the Nets have enough salary space. Increase the salary pressure on the Jazz. Maybe they can force the Jazz to release some people in the future?

As for the addition of insiders, Jiang Mingliang has a clear candidate. Bertans, who has been in Europe for three years, has ended his contract with his home team and has made significant progress. Joining the team next season is a matter of course. This inside high fort has a strong shooting ability. If he works well, he should help the team more than Yi Jianlian.

On July 1st, the free agent market officially opened, and Willie Green became the first player to complete the contract. The Magic team took away the combo guard with a one-year basic salary contract of 1.3 million yuan, and started the competition chapter. Subsequently, last season performed well, and the Pistons, which reached the top four in the Eastern Conference, signed veteran Kenyon Martin, who was also a veteran's basic salary.

After the appetizers and desserts, some sought-after players have finalized their next homes one after another. Lowry, Randolph, and Gortat each accepted a tens of millions of contracts to stay with their home team, while the 76ers Hawes joined the Lakers with a four-year 23 million contract, replacing Kaman who went to the Trail Blazers and becoming the team's starting center.

Hayward went out to find a big contract, and the Nets immediately sent a four-year 64 million offer with a team option, and handed over the option to the Jazz.

Everyone knows that Hayward has a close relationship with Nets coach Stevens. After the contract between the Nets and Fernandez ended, there was indeed a vacuum in the wing position. It was a matter of course for Hayward to join.

After struggling for a long time, the Jazz finally gritted their teeth and chose to match. It is not easy to rebuild a team in a small market. The players trained by themselves are really reluctant to give up casually. The Jazz really lacks competitiveness in the free agent market.

Missing Hayward, the Nets set their sights on Celtics combo guard Bradley. The team offered Bradley a three-year, 27 million contract. Angie's response to this was very straightforward, 36 million in 4 years, fully guaranteed, without options, which directly disintegrated the Nets' poaching plan.

16 million in 2 years (player option), West announced on his personal Twitter that he is about to join the Thunder. Open the money bag and sign in, well, it's not too late to make up for it. The Nets' championship lineup looks to be disintegrating. For the Thunder, they see some opportunities.

With the passage of time, after the superstars went around for a meal, the next home gradually became clear. Anthony chose the Knicks with the highest offer among the Lakers, Bulls, and Knicks. The huge contract of 124 million for 5 years is too sweet. Gasol, who made up his mind to end his Lakers career, chose the Bulls' three-year 24 million (player option) contract, which is a bit cheap. It can only be said that Chicago's good opera culture is very attractive to the Spaniard. Fernandez was attracted by a three-year, $45 million contract from the Cavaliers. You know, Fernandez negotiated with other teams and asked for a three-year 39 million or four-year 48 million. The Cavaliers are really too generous.
