Guard With a Knife

The Bulls immediately reached a contract extension agreement with the Duke, and officially announced that Snoopy will become the first star in history to implement the terms of the Duke. He will end his rookie contract early and get an annual salary of 17 million in the third year of his career. US dollar salary, which has made him the 16th paid player this season.

However, compared to the money he made in the offseason, this can only be said to be ... "squeezed" less obvious.

And when the Chicago fans learned that the Duke had renewed his contract with the team for five years, everyone rejoiced, which means that the team has the possibility of competing for the championship in the next five years.

On the second day after receiving this huge good news, Gary Foreman once again performed the scalp-numbing operation of the show.

He signed Richard Hamilton to a three-year, $13.9 million deal.

It quickly became a signing that stunned the entire basketball world, even though all teams were actively signing or trading as the lockout ended. However, this modest gesture still attracted the attention of a large number of media.

After all, the Bulls signed Hamilton the masked man! Known as the perpetual motion machine, he is the most powerful off-ball player in the NBA! The Detroit Pistons were able to defeat the Super F4 Lakers team to win the championship, and his contribution was no less than that of Finals MVP Billups.

With two super breakthrough players, Chicago has added another super system player who does not occupy the ball and works hard to defend. This kind of puzzle signing is perfect! !

In fact, when Gary Foreman was interviewed by a Chicago radio station. He said: "Actually, many players, including famous superstars, have offered us an olive branch, but we have to regretfully reject it due to salary pressure. However, Hamilton is the kind of star we are willing to bear the luxury tax. He is also in the contract. There was a trade-off in the amount. He could have gotten more money."

Soon, there was news that the superstar rejected by the Bulls was Vince Carter.

Vince Carter has just negotiated with the Phoenix Suns to complete the buyout. He has never won a championship, and he is very likely to join the Bulls.

However, the next day, Vince Carter announced that he would join the Mavericks for 11 million U.S. dollars in three years.

"I am very happy to be able to fight side by side with Jason Kidd again. I believe that our group of old men can do something big!!"

Vince Carter told reporters very firmly when he joined Dallas.

When asked if he had contact with the bull, Vince Carter looked unhappy and did not answer.

Obviously, Gary Foreman's words in the interview made Vince Carter unhappy.

No one likes to be rejected, and no one likes others to talk about the rejection of themselves again.

In fact, having said that, the reason why the Bulls rejected Carter is also very simple. Carter has the ball, Richardson doesn't. The Bulls now have two super ball handlers, plus a former superstar who has just finished his career with a maximum salary, the difficulty of producing a chemical reaction is quite high!

Just as Vince Carter was secretly fighting with the Bulls general manager, an earthquake-level three-way deal broke out in the NBA.

The major media reported on it one after another.

The Lakers, who were chasing after the dog to no avail, finally made a new decision and formed a three-way deal in the form of Stud.

On December 9, 2011, all authoritative media in the United States collectively reported that the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Hornets and Houston Rockets had reached a three-way deal. The Lakers got Chris Paul from New Orleans, and they sent Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom. Among them, the Rockets got Gasol, while the Hornets got Kevin Martin, Dragic, Scola and Odom from the Rockets. In addition, the Rockets sent a 2012 first-round pick (originally owned by the Knicks) to the Hornets.

This deal completely shattered the Lakers' three-high combination, but at the same time gained the top guard that the Los Angeles people dreamed of!

Kobe has never been paired with a super point guard. All the fans couldn't help but start crazy associations,

Everyone felt that the new dynasty of the Lakers was coming, and they even forgot what the color dog looked like, even though Snoopy was rumored to be in Los Angeles for most of the offseason.

However, something unexpected happened at noon the next day.

David Stern vetoed the deal. He believes that this deal is detrimental to the fairness of the league, so it is also the first time since the establishment of the league that the team's reinforcement trade was rejected.

The Los Angeles people rejoiced, and all the disappointment turned into a curse on David Stern.

Because the explanation given by David Stern is too nonsense: basketball reasons!

What are basketball reasons? ?

It's just that I can't understand the strength of the Lakers!

The entire Los Angeles class was outraged.

But there is no way, the Hornets are in a managed mode, in theory it is jointly owned by the other 29 team owners in the league. When the deal came out, more than half of the bosses immediately put pressure on David Stern, and the leader among them was Reinsdorf, who was attacked by the council last time.

When David Stern vetoed the deal, Reinsdorf couldn't help playing golf in the office. He even raised his arms and shouted: Who is spared? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! !

He is very happy. He thought to himself, let you miss Snoopy! Let you hook up with Snoopy! ! Little Jim, how you fucked me back then, I will come back today. Hahahaha, why is it so cool?

Reinsdorf led a protest that terminated the deal.

And a week later, Chris Paul still went to Los Angeles. It's just that the team he joined, the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers traded Eric Gordon, Aminu, Kaman and an unprotected first-round pick from the Timberwolves to the Hornets for Paul and two 2015 second-round picks.

This oolong is concluded on this basis.

But things are still developing.

Odom and Gasol had no contact with the two before the deal, and both had rebellious psychology. Among them, Odom publicly asked to be traded. Two days later, the Mavericks traded from the Lakers to Odom and this round with a special transaction of 8.9 million US dollars plus a first-round pick.

The Mavericks became the biggest winner.

This makes people have to marvel at the operation of the Dallas people. Many experts began to regard the Mavericks as the strongest team in the Western Conference in the new season, because they also introduced two experienced veterans while maintaining the Western Conference champion team last season.

"They have enough energy to launch a fierce impact on the championship again. If the Mavericks play the Bulls in the finals this season, I think Dallas will have a greater chance of winning."

While praising the Mavericks, ESPN did not forget to criticize the Lakers: The current Lakers management is in a mess. I really don't understand why they sent away the best sixth man of last season? Are they going to rebuild now or something? It doesn't look like they have a long-term plan at all, are they insane because the Paul trade was rejected? Or did you lose confidence in the future by the news that the Bulls signed Snoopy for five years?

At the same time as the Lakers made a huge noise, the Miami Heat quietly announced the completion of the contract with top defensive champion Sean Battier.
