I am so Accurate

All of this has a lot to do with Sun Hao's return to Los Angeles.

Originally, the Magic traded for Lou Williams, which temporarily appeased Howard.

But this time Sun Hao returned to the Lakers, or once he left the Warriors, his mind immediately changed.

Some people may say that there is a connection between the two?

Of course!

As I said before, if Sun Hao continues to stay with the Warriors, the Warriors' dynasty is almost certain.

So after the Magic management responded to his protest and made their best efforts, Howard accepted it.

After all, no matter how hard they try, the Magic can't beat the Warriors. It's enough to get the respect they want.

But now that Sun Hao has left, the situation is of course different!

It's true that the Warriors are still strong, but it would be nonsense to say they are as strong as when Sun Hao was here.

Or in other words, the Warriors are no longer invincible!

His originally bohemian heart naturally became restless again.

He asked the management to do more, and even directly asked the management to replace Lewis with a player more in line with his worth.

But Lewis now has a typical premium contract, and it can't be said that he can exchange it if he wants.

Let’s talk about Lewis itself.

Orlando is a small place and cannot attract big names, so it would be great to sign Lewis.

Howard was extremely happy when he signed Lewis and told the management that he had found the best partner for him.

As a result, in just two years, Xiao Tiantian has become Mrs. Niu, and Howard is eager to kick her away.

And this is not the first time Howard has done this kind of thing. He has been doing similar things in the past two years.

Coupled with the fact that Howard was particularly troublesome this time, the Magic management finally decided to put him on the shelf.

This is undoubtedly another blockbuster since Sun Hao returned to Los Angeles.

Over the past two days, the Magic have listened to offers from multiple teams.

Howard's trading expectations were also exposed at this time.

The Magic hope to get an interior player with enough potential, some immediate strength and enough valuable first-round picks in the Howard trade.

This appetite is huge.

But it's also reasonable.

Historically, the Magic have gotten this from the Howard trade.

Now, this time point will come one year earlier.

The younger Howard, the transaction value will naturally be greater!

Most teams in the league are tempted.

Although Howard has rough skills, these shortcomings have been suppressed by Yao Ming all year round.

But apart from these few points, he is the best among active centers in other aspects.

In the words of a soul-crushing sentence: If your home team had the opportunity to get Howard, would you refuse?

I'm afraid no other team will do it except the Wizards.

In fact, even the Warriors have approached the Magic to discuss the feasibility of a trade.

Of course the Lakers also tried.

Sun Hao returns, and if Howard is traded again, the Lakers will form a new dual-core in one summer, and the window to win the championship will open again!

It's just that the Magic's asking price was very high, and the chips given by the Lakers were quickly passed by them.

The Magic's potential trade targets were finally locked in the following companies: Grizzlies, Cavaliers, Thunder, Pacers, and Trail Blazers.

What these teams have in common is that they have many young players and some good players in their prime.

As for the issue of draft picks, it can be solved by bringing in a third party.

The Lakers' hopes of trading for Howard were dashed, so they turned their attention to the free market for reinforcements.

Kupchak quickly identified his first key player: Shane Battier.

Jimmy Butler is known for his defense, but if the Lakers want to achieve results, relying on rookies is obviously not enough.

This is also the main reason why they selected Shane Battier.

He can bring the Lakers the defensive experience the team needs most, and by the way, he can also become Butler's defensive mentor.

Of course, there is another point. The Lakers also hope that Battier's gentle and elegant qualities can reshape the image of the Lakers.

In the past few years, the Lakers have been really chaotic, and the impact has not been good.

The two parties signed a three-year, $12 million contract.

It is worth mentioning that the Lakers did not use their mid-level exception, but used their salary space to sign directly.

This means that the Lakers' middle class is targeting another target in the free market.

This goal also surfaced soon after.

Just two days after Battier signed, the Lakers announced that they had reached a two-year, 10 million full mid-level contract with Jamal Crawford, with a player option in the second year of the contract.

Crawford is 30 years old this year and at his peak. Speaking of which, his annual salary should be more than this.

However, due to his style of play and luck, as a Super Six, his career was in flux.

Choosing to join the Lakers was the first opportunity in his career to truly compete for a championship.

So such a contract is not surprising.

As for the Lakers, there are not many players on the team who can play on the bench, especially on the bench.

With the addition of Battier and Crawford, the lineup is only seven or eighty-eight.

Finally, add a more reliable inside substitute, and the core lineup is basically there.

It was at this time that there was some new news about Howard's transaction.

The Thunder offered Jordan a four-year, $40 million contract, but the Grizzlies did not choose to match it.

This also means that Jordan will join the Thunder.

Counting the previously renewed Jeff Green, the Thunder's lineup next season will be Westbrook, Green, Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan.

This lineup is a contender in the Western Conference.

After this signing is reached, it means that the Thunder have withdrawn from the competition for Howard.

Following the Thunder, the Grizzlies also announced that Gasol was not for sale and subsequently withdrew.

There are teams launching one after another, but it does not affect Howard's trading market, because if there are those who withdraw, there will naturally be those who join.

Among the newly joined teams, the Clippers are the one that attracts the most attention.

The Clippers have failed to produce results for two consecutive years, and Kobe is getting older.

Coupled with the pressure brought by Sun Hao's return to the Lakers, the Los Angeles boss they finally became will be gone in the blink of an eye.

No one would be willing to accept it.

Under this premise, it is natural for them to join.

However, because the Clippers do not have the young players that the Magic need, if the two parties really want to trade, there is a high probability that a third party will be involved.

This also means that the transaction will become complicated, and once it becomes complicated, it will not be so easy to achieve.

Although the deal has not yet been reached, this wave has whetted the appetite of fans.

As analyzed before, there were not many free agents this year, and a number of them were lost due to the lockout.

The result was good, Sun Hao fried fish in a wave, and Howard jumped into the fish pond himself. This free market is very lively.

It can only be said that the butterfly effect brought about by Sun Hao's return to Los Angeles is really great.

And this effect continues.

Many teams that had similar ideas to Howard and were preparing to be dead or half dead next season began to take action at this time.

The most representative one is the Mavericks.

The Mavericks were definitely the most surprising team last season.

Regardless of their unexpected advance to the West, one thing is enough for them to be remembered: they were the only team to win a playoff victory at the hands of the Warriors last season.

Or you can understand that if it weren't for the Warriors, they would even have a chance to defeat the Knicks and win the final championship!

However, the Mavericks also face many problems themselves.

The core members of the team are all older, and the contracts of many core players have expired, including Chandler, who built the team's defensive system.

Chandler is in his prime at the age of 29, and it will take a lot of blood to renew his contract.

This is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is that even if they renew Chandler and cannot renew others, their strength will still decline compared to last season, and naturally they will still not be able to beat the Warriors.

But now that Sun Hao has left, Cuban's mind has suddenly changed.

Simple math question: The Mavericks tied 1-4 with the Warriors with Sun Hao in the playoffs last season. What is their winning percentage against the Warriors without Sun Hao?

The answer is definitely more than 50%!

Sun Hao is the most serious person in the alliance!

They paid attention to Howard as soon as he was put on the shelf before, but unfortunately they didn't have the right chips.

Now they have launched their daily plan B.

They reached a five-year, $70 million contract extension with Chandler.

This contract has some incentive clauses, such as the number of games played, etc. Chandler can only get the full 70 million if he reaches it.

But this is already considered a very large contract.

You must know that according to the salary cap, this is already a near-maximum salary contract. A defensive blue-collar worker receiving this kind of contract is enough to demonstrate his ability.

After signing Chandler, the Mavericks are still very active in the free market and are actively contacting Kirilenko, hoping to use a sign-and-trade method to persuade the versatile forward to join.

As the time goes by, reinforcements from several other powerful teams also begin one after another.

The Knicks didn't make any big deals in the end, but they used the mid-level mid-level to sign center Dalembert from Haiti.

This wave is also expected.

Although they were swept last season, the Warriors have become weaker and they have been running in for a season. Their chances of winning the championship in the new season are very high.

After the Knicks, the Warriors, who were in the spotlight, also made their choice.

They renewed Oden's contract with a four-year, $44 million contract.

The salary in this contract is lower than many people expected.

Because many people expected Oden to get a maximum salary contract.

And the most surprising thing is that no other team has offered a larger contract.

But there must be a reason for everything.

Although Oden's physical talent is outstanding, his four years with the Warriors have been disappointing in terms of statistics and performance.

Then there is the injury issue that is most worrying.

Oden missed many games last season, especially the Finals, and his leg length problems were also exposed.

The Warriors have handled it so carefully and cannot completely avoid it, so other teams will naturally be worried.

So the Warriors can be considered a pick-up.

But if Oden is renewed, it will be difficult for Landry and the others to keep him.

The Kings signed the "Magic Bird" with a 4-year, 40 million contract.

After spending four years as the "sixth man" with the Warriors, Landry will finally have the opportunity to start his career.

And what happened last year happened again. The Warriors waived Thomas in order to sign veteran Mike Bibby.

This allowed the Lakers to take advantage, and they used a three-year non-guaranteed contract to get Thomas.

This is not because Sun Hao gave advice, or because the Lakers management had an open eye.

Instead, Jeremy Lin had a successful case last season, and the Lakers were still short of players on the back line this season, so he signed him to give it a try.

So when Sun Hao saw the news, he was stunned for a while.

He couldn't even help but feel stinky. He felt that he had brought a lucky aura to the Lakers.

At this point in the timeline, most teams have almost completed their reinforcements.

The other thing that attracts more attention is that the Hornets signed Kirilenko, who was interested in the Mavericks, and formed a trident lineup of Deron, Kirilenko, and West, which temporarily appeased the existing players. The distraught Deron Williams.

Then, just as the free market was about to end, Howard's matter over there was finally settled.

In the end, what the Magic reached was not a three-way deal, but a four-way deal!

Except for the expected Clippers and Magic, the remaining two are the 76ers and Mavericks!

The specific trading plan is:

Clippers: Send Andrew Bynum, Odom, 2014 second round and 2016 first round, get: Howard and Lou Williams.

Magic: Send Howard and Lou Williams, receive: Beaubois, Marion, Harkless, Vucevic, 2012 first-round pick (Mavericks), 2014 first-round pick (Mavericks) team), 2014 second-round pick (Clippers), 2015 first-round pick (76ers), 2016 first-round rights swap (Mavericks), 2016 first-round pick (Clippers).

The 76ers sent out: Iguodala, Harkless, Vucevic and the 2015 first-round pick, and got: Bynum.

The Mavericks sent Beaubois, Marion, Diop, the 2012 first-round pick, the 2014 first-round pick, and the 2016 first-round pick in exchange for rights, and got: Iguodala and Odom.

The final deal reached in this round was somewhat unexpected, and the Magic did not directly ask for Bynum, which also shows that they announced that they are entering a rebuild.

This is understandable. With Lewis's big contract and Arenas starting to suffer injuries, even if Howard stays, they have little chance of defeating the Knicks and Bulls.

Now if Howard is replaced by Bynum, it will definitely not work.

So they simply started the reconstruction mode, exchanged a bunch of young players and draft picks, and then slowly dealt with the contracts of Arenas and Lewis.

The Clippers and 76ers both get what they need in this wave of transactions.

The one who really missed the mark was the Lone Ranger.

They used a not-so-big price to directly exchange for Odom, the best sixth man in the past, and Iguodala in his prime!

This is not "just Iguodala" in someone's eyes!

Historically, Iguodala left the 76ers for the Nuggets in the summer of 2012, and directly led the Nuggets to the best record in team history.

There is offense, defense, and good organizational skills.

The reputation of being the best second master is not in vain.

And you have to know that what the Mavericks lack now, or what Nowitzki lacks, is this kind of helper!

Kidd, Terry, Iguodala, Nowitzki, Chandler.

The Mavericks' strength in the new season is only stronger than last year!

Warriors, Grizzlies, Lakers, Spurs, Hornets, Mavericks...

This time, the "fish pond" next season is completely alive and full of highlights!
