NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

On July 1, the free agent signing started, and this year's big fish made some teams eyeing it.

LeBron, the biggest star in the free agent market, said: I am looking to build a super team to fight the Rockets!

Jordan's Clippers, the Heat of Parker Riley, the little emperor's parent team are all among them, and the rest of the teams are the Nets, Knicks and Bulls.

'Flash' Wade also said that he is looking for opportunities to cooperate with James.

The Big Apple City has expressed interest in all the big names in the free market, including James, Wade, Stoudemire, Bosh and other big names.

Anthony, who is in the Rockets training camp, is also actively recruiting big-name teammates. He is actively communicating with James, Wade and Paul. The Banana Boat Brothers want to do something big.

Paul can't wait to escape from the Hornets. Almost all teams in the league want to get this All-Star player who can change the team.

The Rockets are also very busy. Iverson found Tang Yu as soon as the free court opened.

"Boss, I think it's time for me to go back to where my dream began. I'm very grateful that you accepted me when I needed help the most."

Tang Yu was not very interested in keeping AI, and the value that he could provide to the Rockets after he got one year older was not great.

"No problem, what do you want me to do?"

"I want to opt out of the contract and sign back with the 75ers at the veteran minimum salary."

Iverson's second-year middle-class contract is a player option, and it is natural to opt out of the contract.

Tang Yu also knew that Iverson did not have much trading value, so he nodded in agreement.

After solving the AI ​​issue, it was McGrady. McGrady can be regarded as a player who made great contributions to the rise of the Rockets. If it weren't for the Thunder's draft pick from his trade, Harden would not have been able to join the Rockets.

Tang Yu still wanted to keep McGrady in the Rockets.

"T-Mac, I hope you can stay!"

McDad wanted to speak but was stopped by Tang Yu.

"I know what you want to say. It doesn't matter. What players pursue is nothing more than honor and money. Perhaps it's better to have a team that can retire your jersey. Don't you want to retire your jersey in the Rockets?"

McGrady was silent. He knew that Tang Yu was right. Now he has a championship and has earned enough money throughout his career. It is almost certain that he will be selected into the Hall of Fame in the future.

But if he leaves the Rockets now, Houston will not retire his jersey.

McGrady looked into Tang Yu's eyes and said, "Boss, what do you want me to do?"

"Two years of veteran minimum salary. If we can win three consecutive championships, we will see then. What do you think?"

McGrady nodded and said, "No problem, I believe you!"

Tang Yu nodded, stood up and hugged McGrady, "You will be glad for today's decision!"

"Haha, of course!"

After solving McGrady's contract problem, the team still has another problem, Luis Scola. Many teams in the league are interested in Scola.

If the Rockets choose to renew Scola's contract, it will be difficult for the team to match the offers from other teams, so letting Scola go is also a helpless move by Tang Yu.

Scola is a very good player, which Tang Yu knows, but the Rockets do not need too many players at the power forward position.

Whether playing five small or one big and four small, the power forward position is not a position where the Rockets need to hoard players.

After talking with Scola, he also knew that he no longer had a place in the Rockets, and looking for new challenges is what diamonds should do.

Tang Yu finally found Sun Dasheng and offered him a two-year minimum salary contract.

"Dasheng, I need you to become a cold-blooded shooter in these two years. We will talk about your future in two years. If you haven't met my requirements in two years, even if we have the same blood, I can only apologize!"

"I understand, boss, I will definitely not let you down!"

The Dasheng was naturally very excited about getting a contract extension again. He knew that Tang Yu was a talent scout for him, and he only needed to follow the other party's arrangements.

Sweat on the training ground, and leave the rest to God!

Yao Ming and Carter both exercised their last year's player options. They are still the highest paid players in the Rockets.

Yao Ming's salary is $17.69 million, and Carter's salary is $17.52 million.

In the free agent market, all teams are waiting for LeBron James' decision. There are almost no signings after the free market opens.

Tang Yu is also considering that he has the ability to compete with the big names in the free agent market. The team has a large number of draft picks. If he chooses to send Carter, he believes that he canIn exchange for a better player.

On July 2, after the noon training at the Rockets training center, Anthony came to the office to find Tang Yu.

‘Dong Dong Dong’

“Come in!”

As soon as Tang Yu finished speaking, Anthony walked in.

“Hello coach, I want to talk to you.” Anthony smiled and looked at Tang Yu. It can be seen that Anthony respects Tang Yu very much.

“Haha, come on. But you’d better have something to do. This is my lunch break! Otherwise, I won’t have the energy to go home at night, and Taylor may come to trouble you!”

Tang Yu stood up and motioned Anthony to the sofa, and brought him a bottle of water.

“Yes, coach, I want to ask you if I can play under you?”

Tang Yu was surprised. He didn’t expect Anthony to take the initiative to come to him to talk about this matter. This season, Anthony will join forces with Stoudemire to go to the Big Apple during the offseason.

The business resources there are obviously better. Houston can’t compare with New York.

Tang Yu smiled and said, "Are you kidding? As far as I know, aren't you discussing the possibility of joining forces with LeBron?"

"Yes, coach, but our positions overlap, and I don't want to accept the power forward job."

"Cameron, you have to know that if you come to my team, you may also have to take on the center job."

Anthony said with a sharp gaze, "I know coach, you are creating a new era. After I was eliminated, I watched every game of yours. If I can work under you, I am willing to change everything!"

Tang Yu had concerns about Anthony's initiative to come here. Curry and Harden's defense is hard to describe now, and if you add a melon who is unwilling to defend.

Tang Yu had a headache just thinking about it!

"Cameron, if you want to come here, I am naturally welcome, but you have to improve your defensive enthusiasm. I know you have the ability to do it!" Tang Yu stared at Anthony and said.

Anthony knew that this was Tang Yu asking him to issue a military order, and he said very affirmatively: "Coach, I will resolutely implement your tactical arrangements!"

"Well, let's see what happens next!"
