I’m Really Playing Basketball

If the Warriors change their contract with Big Eyebrow this year, the Warriors will spend nearly 100 million more in super luxury tax next season.

If there was no such crisis in the NBA now and fans were still allowed to sit in the seats, the Warriors would not even think about renewing the contract with the maximum salary.

But facing such uncertainty in the NBA, the Warriors are indeed riding a tiger now.

When the Warriors persuaded Nongmei not to jump out of the contract, they said that they hope to maintain the original contract this season. Maintaining the original contract for one year will give the Warriors one more year of observation time. If the NBA returns to normal next year, then the Warriors You can give Nongmei a maximum salary contract without hesitation.

But obviously, for thick eyebrows, what if the NBA does not return to normal next year, or even suspends?

You know, the 2020 Olympic Games have been suspended and are even facing the crisis of cancellation.

Can the NBA be as important as the Olympics?

Even events like the Olympics are trembling under the epidemic. Why do you think the NBA can persist?

In this case, let's put it this way, as long as the players can break out of the contract without worrying about their next home, they want to break out of the contract at this time and sign a guaranteed long-term contract.

In fact, Chen Xiao also has player options this year, but Chen Xiao is not short of money, so he will not jump out to create difficulties for the Warriors to increase operating costs this year.

But with thick eyebrows, he is not as rich as Chen Xiao, and he cannot treat money like dirt.

I play hard in games and train hard in training. Don’t worry about whether I am happy to play games and join an e-sports club during the offseason. Professional players make money and are not shabby.

Nongmei is such a person. He is grateful to Chen Xiao and the Warriors, but he deserves these.

If possible, he will certainly make some sacrifices for the Warriors, but if it requires a huge sacrifice of his own interests, then he needs to consider it.

Of course, having thick eyebrows does not mean that he will definitely jump out of the contract and let the Warriors lose everything.

Nongmei actually doesn't want this. He wants to sign a bigger contract. In this case, of course it is better to retain his bird rights.

Therefore, before the June 30 deadline for opting out of the contract, Big Eyebrow gave the Warriors time to trade him.

After confirming that he could not get the maximum salary extension from the Warriors, Nong Mei hoped that the Warriors would trade him instead of delaying it until June 30. He would have to jump out of the contract and then lose the Bird Rights.

Since the thick eyebrows have such a plan, to be honest, there is nothing the Warriors can do.

Thick eyebrows can only be put on the shelves.

And thick eyebrows are indeed quite attractive now. After the Warriors put thick eyebrows on the shelves, many teams submitted applications for trade.

Especially Garnett's Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves haven't been very good in recent seasons.

How should I put it? The main reason is that the team’s potential star Wiggins immediately failed after signing a big contract. He soaked wolfberry in various thermos cups during the game and did various game health regimens. As the creator of the Wolf King spirit, Garnett can even harden Gummy Towns, but there is nothing Garnett can do about Wiggins, a health banker.

In this case, Garnett can only trade Wiggins away.

But now the whole world knows about Wiggins' situation. This once proud man is now a mess in the NBA, unable to work hard.

In this case, who is willing to take over such a player?

If Wiggins can be exchanged for thick eyebrows, this is of course a very cost-effective thing.

But obviously, Wiggins' value cannot be exchanged for thick eyebrows now.

However, regarding the current situation of the thick eyebrows, let’s put it this way. We are not fools. No matter how high the value of the thick eyebrows is, if the Warriors have the ability, they can renew the contract. As long as they don’t renew the contract, they will definitely flow into the free market.

When the time comes, won’t it be nice for me to have sex for nothing?

Do I have to give you players?

The reason why the Timberwolves are willing to send Wiggins to the Warriors is mainly because the Timberwolves are too unattractive. If you want thick eyebrows, you can't get them.

In fact, although thick eyebrows are popular, those who are willing to trade with the Warriors are small ball markets like the Timberwolves.

In the big ball market, everyone actually wants to wait for free prostitution.

In this case, the Timberwolves' Wiggins is actually the best offer among them.

In the end, on June 30, the deadline for players to opt out of their contracts, the Warriors and Timberwolves completed a deal for Big Eyebrow and Wiggins.

At the same time as the trade between Big Eyebrow and Wiggins, the Warriors will next face the issue of renewing Jaylen Rose's rookie contract when it expires.

Jaylen Brown's rookie contract expires this year. The Warriors need to keep Jaylen Brown as much as possible. If they can't stay, it will definitely be impossible to give Jaylen Brown away for free.

In fact, before the Warriors extended Klay's contract, the Warriors' plan was to keep Jaylen Brown even if it was a maximum salary extension.

But Chen Xiao must keep Clay, there is no other way.

Klay wanted to stay, and the Warriors wanted to keep him. If Jaylen Brown was retained at the maximum salary, the Warriors' salary would really explode.

According to the Warriors' estimates at the time, after retaining Chen Xiao, Nong Mei (it is expected that Nong Mei will not jump out of the contract) and Klay, and then retaining Jaylen Brown with the maximum salary, the Warriors will have to add up to the super luxury tax next season. to over $1 billion.

Damn it, that is something that can definitely make the Warriors go crazy.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao decides to keep Clay, it means that Jaylen Brown will definitely leave.

Therefore, before Big Eyebrow expressed his intention to jump out of the contract, in this year's draft, the Warriors gave away Jaylen Brown and the No. 28 pick in this year's first round in exchange for Marvin Bagley. Gurley was the fourth pick in the 2018 draft behind Goldberg, Ayton, and Doncic.

Logically speaking, in this draft year and Bagley's performance in his rookie season, Jaylen Brown, whose contract has expired and cannot be retained, cannot replace Bagley.

After all, Bagley played as a substitute for Ibaka in his rookie season, and he was able to average 15 points and 8 rebounds per game, and was a 2.11 meter violent inside player who could shoot three-pointers.

However, in addition to his rookie season, Bagley was injured four times in just three months last season. Although they were all ankle sprains, finger fractures, knee sprains and other injuries that were neither minor nor serious, they were very serious. Obviously, such frequent injuries have made the King unbearable.

More importantly, these intermittent injuries caused him to play only 13 games a season, and he lost all his previously excellent shots.

To the Kings, Bagley became a piece of cake.

Of course, for the Warriors, although Bagley has many problems and his body seems to suffer from frequent injuries, so far, he has not suffered any major injuries.

In this case, Bagley's talent and ability are still attractive to the Warriors.

Eventually, Bagley and Jaylen Brown also swapped clubs.

At this point, the Warriors have finally completed their operations in 2020.

Bagley was a rookie in 2018, and his rookie contract will not expire until two years later. For the Warriors, whose salary space has exploded, they finally have some breathing time.

However, considering Bagley's current physical condition, the Warriors plan to completely let Bagley recuperate for a season and conduct a comprehensive examination of his body.

Because before being traded to the Warriors, Bagley's right ankle was frequently sprained.

If Bagley's physical examination is not optimistic, the Warriors will let Bagley sit out for a season and completely recuperate him, just like the Cavaliers did with Oden.

Even Bagley was sent directly to the hospital in Cleveland by the Warriors for examination and recovery.

With Auden as a walking advertisement, Cleveland's hospital is very famous.

When the Warriors completed these operations, Chen Xiao was still in isolation.

When Chen Xiao was released from isolation, these operations of the Warriors were completely completed.

After these operations are completed, the Warriors players become.

Center: Chen Xiao, Mitchell Robinson

Power forward: Allen, John Collins, Marvin Bagley (may be out for the season)

Small forward: Wiggins, Michael Porter Jr., Wade

Shooting Guard: Alexander, Ron Howard, Klay (out for the season)

Point Guards: Morant, Jordan Poole, Isaiah Thomas Jr.

There are currently 14 players in total, and this year's second-round pick from the Warriors was still sold to the Lakers.

Of the 14 players, two are suspected of being reimbursed. At the same time, Luo Ge and Wade are now basically the team's mascots.

Wade and Luo Ge saw that Chen Xiao was still in such good condition and had no plans to retire with Chen Xiao.

Now that both of them have completed the goal of 30,000 points, they have only one goal now, which is to wait for Wade Jr. to enter the league, and then after playing a game with Wade Jr., they will leave the team at the same time. , announced his retirement.

And Wade Jr. will participate in the draft in 2021, next year.

According to the potential of Wade Jr., who is currently ranked 20th in the United States and a five-star high school student, he is likely to be selected into the NBA in 2021.

Therefore, despite the fact that the Warriors currently have 14 players, their regular combat effectiveness is only 10.

You can't expect the 39-year-old Wade and Luo Ge to show their fighting ability next season, right?

After all, Wade and Luo Ge don’t have cheats like Chen Xiao.

A team only has 10 combat capabilities. This seems to be a shortage of people. Why did the Warriors sell their precious second-round pick to the Lakers?

Of course, it's because, except for Chen Xiao, Isaiah Thomas Jr., and Wiggins, the other seven players on the Warriors are all young players, even during their four-year rookie contract.

In this case, these seven players actually need enough time to develop.

In the past two seasons, although the Warriors have trained these young players to a certain extent, the main thing is to compete for the championship.

Or in terms of developing Devin Booker and Jaylen Brown.

In the two years of the last cycle, as the championship failed, Devin Booker and Jaylen Brown left one after another, and even the thick eyebrows left, and Clay was reimbursed for another season.

In this case, the Warriors have enough time and space to develop players.

Especially the three young players Morant, Alexander, and Michael Porter Jr.

If these three players can be cultivated, even if the Warriors no longer have thick eyebrows, they can still start the next championship cycle when Clay comes back.

Of course, when the Warriors make the decision to train young people next season, they must say hello to Chen Xiao and get Chen Xiao's consent.

According to Chen Xiao's current age, to be honest, ordinary aging superstars would definitely be unwilling to do so.

After all, there are only two years left in my career. How can I still have time to accompany young people to grow up? I must be more utilitarian.

But what Jerry West and Chen Xiao didn't expect was that Chen Xiao actually agreed and also supported the Warriors' decision.

By the way, historically, due to the epidemic, the league's 2019-2020 season schedule was disrupted.

But in this time and space, Jordan only shortened the schedule and kept fans away from the stadium. He did not postpone the playoffs or the draft, nor did he change the format and create play-offs.

If there really is a play-off, it would be quite exciting.

As for what will happen in the 2020-2021 season, everything will have to wait for notification from Jordan and the league.

Of course, the NBA also has to wait for notifications from the United States and major states.

Finally, in September, everything was settled. In the United States, as long as players have received two doses of the vaccine, they can play.

At the same time, the NBA schedule will not be affected and will still consist of 82 regular season games. At the same time, fans can also attend games as long as they have received two doses of vaccine.

When the news came, the two owners of the Warriors, Bage and Wang, almost cried.

Damn it, how long have you been worried about this?

Now there is finally no need to be afraid!

Of course, the Warriors' main goal of cultivating young people in the 2020-2021 season has not changed.

However, some interesting things have happened in the training of Morant, Alexander and Michael Porter.

Alexander and Michael Porter are really good. Alexander averaged 51% shooting rate and 41% three-point shooting rate, averaging 18 points per game.

Michael Porter Jr. averaged 54% from the field and 45% from the three-point range, and he also averaged 15 points per game.

These two are definitely the two best players for the Warriors this year besides Chen Xiao.

But Morant, not only has his scoring dropped this season, but his shooting percentage has also dropped. After being focused on training, Morant has become a little lost.

Of course, the Warriors are not worried about Morant. After all, his talent is here, and his loss is just because he needs to change himself.

In the playoffs, Morant performed very well. In the first round against the Clippers, he faced Paul. In five games, Morant averaged an astonishing 30 points per game. In this series, Next to Chen Xiao, Morant plays like a young Rose.

It’s really something Warriors fans are looking forward to.

However, Morant's stability is indeed much worse than Rose's.

Especially in the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers, facing the Clippers' lineup of Jokic, Siakam, Williams, Leonard, and Paul George, Morant couldn't stand out. , couldn't shoot, and struggled very much throughout the series.

In fact, after Chen Xiaola came out, he had room, but Morant's reading of the game was much worse than Rose.

Of course, he is still young now.

In the end, in the Western Conference Finals, facing the Lakers with Leonard back in the second round of the playoffs, the Warriors lost the series 3-4.

The fight was fierce, and Chen Xiao still performed extremely well, but his teammates were too young, so they were just a little bit behind.

In the Eastern Conference, the Heat, who had the league's best record this season and were led by MVP Rose, ultimately lost to the Bucks led by Durant, Curry and Antetokounmpo in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The big score was 3 to 4, and it was also a pity that the Heat lost.

In the finals of this season, the Bucks won the final championship with a final score of 4 to 2. The most shocking thing about this series was not the lineup of the Lakers' first and fourth forwards, but The three of Durant, Antetokounmpo and Curry are powerful.

In this series, Curry, Antetokounmpo and Durant all scored 40+ points in two games.

In six games, the three of them combined for 6 games with 40+ points.

Among them, Antetokounmpo had a super double-double of 50+14.

Durant had a super triple-double of 51+17+10. This was also the second time in Durant's career that he had a 50+ triple-double. In the history of the NBA playoffs, Durant is also second only to Chen Xiao and James became the third player to have two 50+ triple-doubles in the playoffs, and also the third player after Chen Xiao and James to have a 50+ triple-double in the finals.

As for Curry, although there was no 50+ double-double in this finals, he averaged 6 three-pointers per game in the six finals, and even made more than 7 three-pointers in five games.

When your opponent and three players all perform like this, what else can you say?

Let's put it this way, the trio of Curry, Durant and Antetokounmpo is really powerful, visibly powerful.

So in the end, out of the 11 votes for FMVP, Durant got 4, Curry got 4, and Antetokounmpo got 3.

In the end, Curry and Durant contributed to this year's FMVP.

This FMVP is also the second FMVP of Durant's career and the first FMVP of Curry's career.

The two have been the two stars of the Bucks in the past ten years. Both have won 2 MVPs, and now, both are complete.

By the way, except for the 50+ triple-double in G3, and the 40 in G6, Durant was paddling in the other four games, which made the FMVP behavior very obvious, so after the finals, Curry and Durant Both had tears in their eyes as they hugged.

The two of them came here all the way from college, from 2006 to 2021, and spent a full 15 years together. Along the way, the two of them faced a lot of suspicion and sowing discord. In the end, both of them Reached the end of his career.

Yes, for any player, the championship, MVP, and FMVP Grand Slam can be called the end of his career.

Therefore, although he missed the FMVP in this finals, Antetokounmpo still took the lead in applauding and blessing Durant and Curry when they hugged.

These two bosses were really helpful to him.

Durant has been his idol since childhood. When he was interviewed for the draft, he was still young and said that his favorite NBA player was Durant.

Curry is his favorite teammate and most respected leader.

He sincerely wishes the two of them such perfection.

Of course, the same blessing was given to Chen Xiao who presented them with the FMVP trophy.
