The Spurs introduced Artest; the Hawks reorganized their lineup and replaced two potential stocks with two immediate assets. In addition to adding two useless first-round draft picks of the Hawks,

Instead, they also got a high-probability first-round draft pick. The key is that the core structure of the Eagles has not changed yet...

The Lakers are not calm anymore!

The Spurs and Hawks are the Lakers' two biggest enemies!

Originally, after the Hawks won three consecutive championships, if there was no big trade move, the overall performance next season might not be particularly good. The regular season was okay, but in the playoffs, the physical condition is expected to be very bad. The Lakers, as the last team

The creators of three consecutive championships, they understand this situation very well. In the 2002-03 season playoffs, even a physical monster like Kobe Bryant performed weakly.

Rasheed Wallace is another year older, and third-year Josh Smith wants him to serve as the second-in-command for interior offense. He can do a good job and serve as the core of the interior... The Lakers are happy to see the Hawks

The team made that decision.

However, the Hawks traded in a shotgun and acquired Shawn Marion, who was in his prime and could defend from one to five. He was also an All-Star who averaged 20.10 points per game without Steve Nash.

forward……

The Eagles are relatively good here, but in the Eastern Conference, they still need to solve the problem of running-in.

The Spurs are different. The Spurs have the experience of using Stephen Jackson, Bunchy Wells, and Sprewell, and they have all integrated very well. Artest joining the Spurs is undoubtedly a good choice.

The luxurious and enhanced version of these three, Artest can barely be regarded as the kind of all-around player who can give you whatever you want. Although he is not proficient in most other things except defense, his strong body has always been effective in defending Kobe Bryant.

good.

The Lakers felt the panic.

They also proposed a deal to the Pacers and Rockets, but the Pacers were unwilling to trade with the Lakers. The Pacers have always been like this from the past to the present and in the future. Although the Rockets have a good relationship with the Lakers, the Lakers cannot give the Rockets anything.

The potential players the team wanted, none of the two major forward reinforcements have been completed.

Just when the Lakers were in a huge crisis with their drug combination, Logo came to the rescue and announced that the Grizzlies would be demolished and rebuilt, and a deal was reached with the Lakers!

According to the current rules, Brian Grant, who was waived by the Lakers using the first-generation amnesty clause of Alan Houston, still has his Bird Rights. The Lakers renewed Brian Grant's 6 million partially guaranteed contract.

On July 11, 2006, the Lakers gave Brian Grant a partially guaranteed $6 million contract of $1.5 million, Chris Mihm, Stanislav Medvedenko, an unprotected first-round pick in 2007, and an unprotected first-round pick in 2009.

Protected first-round pick, 2012 unprotected first-round pick, 2014 lottery-protected pick, traded for Pau Gasol from the Grizzlies!

Unlike the Hawks' trades, which are so shocking, the Lakers' trades happen suddenly every time!

When people saw the Spurs and Hawks making reinforcements and were still muttering why the Lakers hadn't done anything yet, the Lakers suddenly completed a shocking robbery!

As soon as this trade came out, it was even more shocking than the previous year when the Hawks robbed Shawn Marion and the Spurs took the lead regardless of danger!

The Hawks also sent away potential players plus two draft picks, as well as Calderon, a poor, slow version of Nash to serve as Nash's substitute.

The Lakers spent almost nothing to acquire Pau Gasol, one of the best power forwards in the league, from the Grizzlies!

That bargaining chip is simply outrageous!

Chris Mihm is only the Lakers' fourth big man, and Medvedenko has long been unable to play. Brian Grant simply received a $1.5 million "help fee" after retiring!

It is foreseeable that the value of the Lakers' three first-round picks in 2007, 2009, and 2012 will not be much higher than the value of the first-round pick given by the Hawks to the Suns. In 2014, when the Lakers may enter a rebuilding period, that pick will be a good choice.

Transparent protection!

That is to say, besides expecting the Lakers to make the playoffs ten years from now, the Grizzlies have been unable to make the playoffs since 2014. It was not until 2016 when the draft pick became unprotected that the Lakers were so bad that they won the high-ranking draft pick.

The team may receive a high draft pick in 2016 at the latest...

By that time, the day lilies were cold!

The Lakers have basically used most of their future draft picks.

After the Lakers tricked others into using two draft picks to become the No. 1 pick in Magic Johnson and James Worthy, the league established rules that allowed for a maximum of 7 first-rounders to be traded within 10 years. The Lakers were giving away their entire future.

It took three first rounds in 2006, 2008, and 2010 to trade Yao Ming before. This time, it took four first rounds, three unprotected ones in 2007, 2009, and 2012, and lottery protection in 2014. That is, from

Starting next season, the Lakers will only have first-round picks in 2011 for the next seven years. All the Lakers' first-round picks in the other six years have been given away. However, the Lakers are not a team that relies on the draft to build a team. Stud is quite decisive.

,

Basically in 2013, the Big Three are all old, and it’s time to rebuild again. Therefore, the 2014 draft picks are lottery protected, the old Buss is still healthy, and Mitch Kupchak does not have the interference of Buss Jr.

Plans for the future are well done.

The logo gave Kupchak, his apprentice for 13 years from 1986 to 1999, a huge assist!

The Lakers instantly stole all the limelight. When there were still doubts about the formation of the "Big Four" by the Hawks and Spurs, the Lakers formed the "Big Four" first!

After acquiring Gasol, the Lakers quickly signed Matt Barnes, who had been rejected by the 76ers as a team option. They had no better choice. They chose Matt Barnes, who had been wandering around for the past few years.

Yes, cheap and easy to use.

Originally, they wanted to go to the Pistons to rob Delfino, but they had used up all their first-round picks, so they had to settle for the next best thing.

After acquiring Gasol in the trade, he has not renewed his contract. Instead, he has retained the Bird Rights with a qualifying offer of US$7.36 million, which does not occupy a particularly large space. Yao Ming, who is waiting for the Lakers to trade, has signed a 6-year contract with the Lakers under the new rules.

"Ace Terms" to renew the contract.

On July 10, the NBA announced the salary cap for the new season, which is US$56.39 million, an increase of more than US$3 million compared to last season.

Yao Ming renewed his contract with the Lakers with a starting salary of 16.9 million and a total of 6 years and 130 million U.S. dollars.

The Big Four combination of Kobe, Odom, Gasol and Yao Ming was born!

When Liu Mang heard the news, he felt like he was used to it... The power of the Lakers... is no worse than that of the Celtics...

The Hawks often rob, but the ones the Hawks rob are those who did not do well in the original team, such as trading Raheem for Tracy McGrady, and most of the players the Hawks rob are not that suitable for the team.

It got adjusted later.

Josh Smith traded to peak Marion, all at the cost of draft picks...

The Lakers are different. In the past two years, they have directly taken away the best cores of the Rockets and Grizzlies!
Chapter completed!
