Chapter 1042 [Super bad contract, saved Kobe]

In September, the NBA new season training camp is approaching, and the big fish in the free market sign a series of contracts.

Bosh renewed his contract with the Lakers for 118 million in 5 years. The Lakers management has no other way. If you want to ensure the team's competitiveness next season, you can only choose to renew Bosh, otherwise there will be no big-name star to attract fans.

This is a super bad contract, and no one knows about it except Guo Xu.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Bosh was diagnosed with a venous thrombosis in the 2014-15 season, and he stopped after playing for half a season. Next season, he insisted on playing, and after being diagnosed with a thrombosis in February, he never played for the Heat again. Although Bosh repeatedly expressed his hope to play, his life-threatening behavior would endanger his life. As a result, he received $76 million from the Heat.

The Lakers gave up renewing Bogut's contract and signed Springer power forward Ed Davis for two years and a low price of 2 million yuan.

The center position management is preparing to focus on training first-round rookie Nurkic. He will share the No. 5 appearance time with Jordan Hill. The marginal man is "Towel Man" Robert Thackeray.

At the small forward position, the Lakers signed Wesley Johnson 1 million in one year. This is the fourth pick in the first round in 2010. Only the physical fitness is outstanding and all the skills are average.

The Lakers poached the Warriors' marginalist Nick Young for 8 million in 2 years. Kupchick believes that Nick Young is good and signing him is very cost-effective. After the championship, Nick Young is unwilling to stay with the Warriors and continues to be a substitute, wanting to get a bigger contract.

Veteran Bathir is a free agent and was given up by the Lakers. He should have the only option to retire next time. He averaged 20 minutes per game last season, with only 4.1 points, 2 rebounds and 0.9 assists, shooting percentage of 38.2%, and three-point shooting percentage of 34.8%.

Without a championship bonus, no team will treat Battier as a championship puzzle, the Lakers have not made it to the playoffs for two consecutive years, and he can't see any effect on the defensive end.

Bathir of Earth One is very unfortunate. He did not get a decent nickname, played several times in the playoffs, had no luxurious data, and was an ordinary character player who could not be more ordinary. He did not leave any stories in the NBA.

The Lakers also made a deal with the Nets, giving Joe Johnson out, and for Deron Williams alone. The Lakers have no chance of winning the championship next season, they want to muddle the waters of the championship team.

Joe Johnson's form has declined significantly, with an average of only 16+3+3.5 per game last season. He signed a six-year contract with the Lakers in 2010 and will not expire until 2016. In 2012, the Nets and Delong renewed their contract for 5 years and $98 million, and expired in 2017.

Both sides think that they have made a profit, which is a win-win situation. The coach of the Nets is Mike Brown, who has worked with James for many years. He will play forward tactics in the new season. They need wings that can shoot three-pointers, and they don’t need Deron, who is only good at pick-and-roll tactics.

The Lakers hope that Deron and Bosh will play pick-and-roll and take the internal and external route. The Lakers' coach is still Byron Scott, who likes to use point guard as the core.

Kupchek thinks Deron is younger. He was born in 1984 and is only 30 years old this year. His decline rate should be slower than Joe Johnson. If he can't play in three years, the Lakers will do it if they don't renew their contract.

The Nets and swingman Alan Anderson reached an intention to renew the contract. The new contract lasts for two years and the total amount is slightly less than $3 million, of which the second year is the player option.

They also signed a three-year, $10 million contract with Boyan Bogdanovic and settled a substitute for No. 2 and No. 3.

Boyang was a rookie selected by the Heat in the second round in 2011. He traded the signing rights to the Nets and joined the NBA after three years. He is 203cm tall and weighs 98 kilograms. He is a swingman who is good at receiving and shooting balls and can play two positions.

The Nets also signed Nuggets guard Nate Robinson, who has never received a big contract because of his height. He is willing to join the company because the Nets' No. 1 position has become very weak after sending Delong away from No. 1 and should be able to get many opportunities to perform.

Steve Blake signed a contract of 4 million in 2 years. Because he won the championship with the Suns, Blake also performed well with the Timberwolves. He can shoot three-pointers and organize offenses, and can find a job even if his quality declines.

The Nets manager believes that he and James are very suitable for their partner. They can catch and shoot three-pointers, but they are a little worse for the speed-proof guard.

The Warriors were not idle either. They let CJ Watson go and signed veteran Leandro Barbosa at the minimum salary. Brazil was making a fuss in the lightning that year, but now they are back to hug their thighs.

At the press conference, Barbosa bluntly stated that the reason why he left the Warriors was no longer there.

The Warriors also signed veteran Richard Jefferson with a basic salary to make up for the vacancy that Nick Young left.

Jefferson is perfectly qualified to shoot three-pointers and be a substitute. Last season, he averaged 27 minutes per game with the Jazz, scoring 10.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists, with a three-point shooting percentage of 40.9%, and 1.5 goals.

The season has not started yet, and everyone believes that the championship will be between the two teams, and the other teams are running with each other. The Spurs did not sign any strong men. Just like last season's lineup, they signed a rookie Kyle Anderson. How to fight against the Warriors?

The only one in the West who can play against the Warriors seems to be the Clippers, while the Eastern Nets are completely unique.

There are also some big-name free agents that are difficult to determine their next stop.

The first ones to be affected are Kobe and Wade. Kobe is completely free, while Wade jumped out of the contract himself.

The Heat have no hope of winning the championship. Pat Riley put Wade on the shelves several times, and gradually, Wade and the management also had conflicts. In order to stay with the Heat, he had chosen to cut his salary. The team still wanted to send him away instead of introducing strong men to compete for the championship. So what is the meaning of his salary cut?

In fact, the Heat have tried poaching people to compete for the championship, but no strongman is willing to come, and Granger is also ruined due to injury.

The Hawks, Cavaliers, and Bulls offered a contract for Wade. Two of them were rebuilding teams. Wade did not want to join. After considering it, he chose to reduce his salary to join the Bulls in September.

As long as Derek Ross stays healthy, the Bulls are still strong in the team, and they may be able to compete with the Nets in the East.

When Wade participated in the draft, he wanted to join the Bulls the most, but unfortunately he missed it.

Only the Heat are willing to offer Kobe a two-year high-paying contract. The team is completely helpless and must be rebuilt. The Heat and the Mavericks had the same idea last season, using Kobe's popularity and singles to attract fans, and clear all the garbage contracts after two seasons.

No one gave him the three-year contract that Kobe wanted. He was 39 years old three years later. In fact, the team Kobe wanted to join the most was the Bulls, and the lineup looked pretty good, but the Bulls had CBA teammate Luo Er Deng on the wing of the Warriors back then. How could he want Kobe?

Through Luo Er Deng's oral statement, the manager can roughly guess what the result of Kobe's arrival was.

Kobe wanted a high salary, but he refused the Heat. If he went to the bottom for two consecutive years, what is the meaning of joining? Should he just brush the data, admit that he is a brush and a cancer, and then retire in disgrace?

The new season is about to begin, and the 76ers, who want to make a difference next season, save Kobe.

After sending away David Lee and Ju Holiday, the 76ers had sufficient salary space and no big-name stars. The most famous players in the team were DeAndrew Jordan and Garnett in the decline.

The 76ers are not weak overall, and Sadison Young, Evan Turner and others all have good attack power.

They also traded from the Suns last season, Jason Richardson, who has championship experience, and Guo Xu's youngster. Richardson can occasionally play the No. 4 position, and Earl Clark can open up space and make three-pointers, but the breakthrough is no longer possible.
