On December 9, local time in the United States, a major deal occurred as soon as the free market and training camp opened.

The Atlanta Hawks and the New Jersey Nets have reached a deal, and Joe Johnson will become a member of the Nets in exchange for five players. (This deal was in July this year, and for the plot needs, it is about half a year in advance. If there is a deviation in the player's trade, don't care too much!)

The five players Joe Johnson exchanged were defenders Anthony Morro, Jordan Famal, Di Shaun Stevenson, forwards Jordan Williams and John Petro.

In addition, the Nets also sent a first-round draft pick to the Hawks, which was protected by lottery. Stevenson of these five players is a free agent, so he adopted the sign-in and then exchange method in this deal.

The key player in this deal is Joe Johnson, who completed a contract renewal with the Hawks in the summer of 2010, with a total contract of $600 million.

Joe Johnson's contract has five years left, with a total amount of about $100 million.

Last season, Joe Johnson averaged only points per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of only 29%. What the Hawks couldn't tolerate was that Joe Johnson's inaction in the playoffs turned the team into a first-round game.

In the 20092010 season, the team reached the second round of the playoffs no matter what, and Joe Johnson's performance was also quite outstanding.

However, Joe Johnson, who signed the big contract, became a little more ordinary.

Therefore, this is also one of the reasons why the Hawks exchanged him for five players of average strength. Because the Hawks can get rid of his big contract troubles and find room for the team's subsequent development.

The Nets took a little advantage in this transaction. Although Joe Johnson's performance was out of standard last season, and his 6-year contract was a lot of water. But no matter what, Joe Johnson is still one of the best scorers in the league.

In the middle and late last season, the Nets traded top point guard Deron Williams from the Jazz.

Now that he has gained strong scorer Joe Johnson, the Nets aiming to rebuild will surely make a difference in the new season.

Moreover, the Nets will move to Brooklyn next year. In order to compete with the Knicks for the ownership of New York's number one team, the Nets will naturally spare no effort to enhance the team's strength.

Among the five players the Hawks received, in addition to Stevenson who signed first and then exchanged, Morrow, Famal and Petro's contracts were around $4 million, while Jordan Williams had more than $700,000, and the contracts of these players will expire the summer afterwards.

In addition to this big deal, the Hawks have follow-up moves.

News from ESPN: Former All-Star player McGrady agreed to join the Hawks and he will get a one-year veteran’s basic salary contract (about $1.4 million).

The two sides officially signed the contract on December 10, that is, tomorrow.

McGrady played for the Pistons last season, playing 72 games (39 times), and handed over an 8-point assist score in minutes of playing time.

Since entering the league at the age of 18, McGrady's career averages are points, boards and assists.

After the Eagles made these transactions one after another, everyone realized that there was only one reason for them to do this. That was to show goodwill to Wu Feng.

However, most people think that the Eagles' transactions are very sloppy, because Wu Feng has not made any public statements now and is willing to play for them.

In other words, Wu Feng did not make any promises, and his club in the new season is Atlanta.

However, everyone understands that the Eagles are planning to take risks and want to bet on their own efforts.

Many teams that wanted to chase Wu Feng sighed at the other party's courage after seeing the deal made by the Hawks. Naturally, they did not have such courage. Therefore, after a little weighing, some teams with weaker confidence withdrew from Wu Feng's battle.

In an interview with the media, the Eagles' senior executives also openly praised Wu Feng and showed goodwill to Wu Feng.

However, Wu Feng and Rang's team still did not respond to the Hawks' open statement.

Many people are still optimistic about Wu Feng staying in the Magic Team, and many people are optimistic about the Hawks, which spares no expense.

On December 10, the Atlanta Hawks signed a contract with McGrady, who officially became a member of the Hawks.

On the same day, sources from multiple teams made it clear that the Hawks management had begun to formally talk with Iverson to bring him to Atlanta.

This weekend, the negotiations will enter the formal stage.

"This is a result of careful consideration," said an official Hawks. "We know the ups and downs he has experienced, but we still know what Iverson can do and he also wants to get the opportunity."

Although what the official Hawks said was very high-sounding, most people understand that the reason why the Hawks did this was to please Wu Feng.

Just a few days after Allen Iverson claimed that he wanted to return to the NBA, Wu Feng posted the idea of ​​"wanting to play with Iverson" on his Twitter.

Such important news, how could the Hawks, who are determined to get Wu Feng, ignore it?

Therefore, some senior executives of the Hawks gave suggestions to sign Iverson.

Although Iverson may not have done anything in the new season, as long as he can use this to show goodwill to Wu Feng and recruit him under the guise, such efforts will be worth it.

Last night, Hawks head coach Larry Drew was already considering whether to sign Iverson.

However, the team's senior management is still considering it. Several important decision-makers, including the team's executive chairman, general manager and head coach, are discussing the final decision together.

At present, the coaching staff led by Larry Drew has voted in favor of signing Iverson, and the rest of the coaching staff will not have any objection to Iverson's arrival.

The Hawks said they could give at least $2 million in salary. According to another source, "it could be a veteran's basic salary contract of less than $2 million."

If everything goes well, the Eagles may sign Iverson on December 12 local time.

The Eagles' all actions in the past few days have only one purpose, that is, to attract Wu Feng. The sincerity they showed is also very profound.

It can be said that after the free market and training camp opened, the information brought by the Hawks was quite shocking.

"Xiaofeng, I don't think there is any need to wait any longer." Xia Xinquan said to Wu Feng in front of the round table.

Carl Davis also nodded and said to Wu Feng: "Yes, Xia is right, we don't have to wait. There is no more sincerity than the Hawks. They first traded Johnson, and then signed the 'Answer' you like. Wu, I believe you have already felt the sincerity shown by the Hawks. They will definitely rebuild the team with you as the core in the next few years. You will become the hero of Atlanta, you will be the boss of the Hawks, and this team will belong to you."

In addition to Xia Xinquan and Carl Davis, Wu Feng's father Wu Changtian and his sister Wu Lan were also there. They also agreed that Wu Feng left the Magic Team and went to Atlanta.

After hearing the words of several people, Wu Feng lowered his head and was silent for a while, and then made a decision.

"Okay, then let's goats! Carl, Uncle Xia, I believe you will successfully complete the signing of the Eagles." Wu Feng looked at the two of them with a smile.

"No problem." Both of them laughed.

…………

On December 12, a news that shocked the entire league came.

Wu Feng joined the Atlanta Hawks for three years and $35.4 million, while the Magic gave up matching the contract. Although the Magic still has a lot of salary space, they will soon launch a contract extension with "Warcraft" Dwight Howard next year, and it will inevitably have a contract of over 100 million. Therefore, Wu Feng's 25 million in the third year directly discouraged them.

Although the Magic wanted to keep Wu Feng and establish the Magic Dynasty, they also saw the efforts made by the Hawks and knew that even if Wu Feng went to the Hawks, they could not say anything.

Everyone was shocked by the courage shown by the Hawks in this battle for Wu Feng. They did not expect that the Hawks would do this.

First, he traded Joe Johnson, then signed Iverson, and finally signed Wu Feng with a maximum salary contract (5 million and 5.4 million in the first two years, and 25 million in the last year).

Such a big move is enough to become the most shocking signing in recent years.

According to the arrangement, Wu Feng will undergo a physical examination on Wednesday local time and then officially sign a contract with the Eagles.

According to the contract signed by Wu Feng with the Hawks, his annual salary in the 20132014 season will reach $25 million.

Some media speculated that Wu Feng went to Atlanta for money, and for this reason, Wu Feng solemnly stated that he did not join the Hawks for money.

"If I really want to make money, I may have a three-digit endorsement contract." Wu Feng said.

Yes, Wu Feng wanted to focus all his attention on basketball, so he turned down a large number of endorsement contracts and currently only signed a number of brands.

"A year ago, my goal was to survive in this league. I was working hard every day just to stay on the roster."

Wu Feng said: "Now what I have received completely exceeds my dreams and much more than I need!"

Although it only represents the Magic's play for one season, Wu Feng spent this season to shave a huge "Wu Hurricane" across the United States.

Now, almost no one does not know Wu Feng's name. To be continued...
