The Rockets' operation and Ford's comments immediately attracted a wave of heated discussions among fans on social media.

"Long live Darrell Morey! He is the NBA season general manager!"

"This is really a bit magical. The Rockets got two high-quality players just by making money. And they seemed to have found the key to reopening the Chinese market after Yao Ming retired."

"Who made this clause? Why are there such obvious loopholes?"

"Man, this is not a loophole, it is protecting the interests of players. Otherwise, when another Arenas appears, he will have to sign a two-year middle-class contract with his parent team, and he will take the risk for two years in vain."

"This is the brains of NBA professional managers, they can always find some bugs in the rules to exploit them."

"We also chose Jeremy Lamb. As a fire secret, I suddenly looked forward to the new season!"

"Wake up guy! You just won the ninth place in the West for two years. Even if you get Lin and Asik, you will find it difficult to stand out in the brutal West."

"Haha, you're so heartbroken. He'll want to beat you up along the network cable!"

"But I suddenly remembered Don. He seemed to have signed a two-year contract with the Spurs. Can he be poisoned?"

"Obviously, of course!"

"I began to worry about my future."

"Don't worry, although Tang performed well in the rookie season, he is just a role player and there will be no such a tough fan."

"Maybe Don is not worth it this season, but next season... are you sure he won't improve?"

"If this is the case, it depends on the courage of the Spurs management."

"Ahem, when did the Spurs management...have been courageous?"

...

These hot discussions by fans on social media are just the tip of the iceberg, because this wave of discussion is quickly covered by new hot topics.

With the Celtics unwilling to renew their contract, veteran Ray Allen finally accepted a three-year, 9.3 million contract issued by the Heat.

You should know that even though Ray Allen is 37 years old, he still averaged 14.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game for the Celtics last season, and his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 45.3%!

Riley fulfilled his promise to fans after his defeat in the finals and recruited the best offseason player for the team!

A 37-year-old veteran, even an All-Star player signing is not a big deal.

But the problem is that he joins the Heat, who beat them last season!

"Submit... to the enemy?"

"Brother, you use this word inappropriately. This is turning enemies into friends. The NBA is a business world, and nothing is forever."

"But as the Celtics, it is really unacceptable. They have been fighting side by side since 2008!"

"As a fan of Ray Allen, I want to say that the Celtics are too worried about renewal. They don't seem to want to renew their contract at all. Many people may not notice that Ray's performance in the playoffs was not as good as the regular season due to injuries."

"They won the championship together, and they also fought seven games with the Heat last season, and had a good chance to enter the finals."

"Yeah, I thought Ray Allen would end up living like those legends."

"As far as I know, his contract with the Heat is 9.3 million for three years, but the Celtics offered 6 million for two years, and he just wanted to have an extra year contract..."

"This is really unforgivable. Let's fight the Heat hard in the new season. They are so disgusting!"

...

The Heat won Ray Allen, but Riley's reinforcement continued.

The team first used the amnesty clause to pardon Mike Miller, who performed poorly last season, and then targeted the inside.

They first signed veteran Rashad Lewis, one of the former supersonic dual-cores, with a one-year minimum salary contract.

Lewis was still able to contribute 7.8 points and 3.9 rebounds with the Wizards last season, which was one of the team's rotations.

They then signed the "parallel stock winner" Kwame Brown with a two-year and 5 million contract.

Brown was plagued by injuries last season and didn't play much with the Warriors, but his performance was not bad before his injury.

In the 2010-2011 season, he averaged 7.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 0.6 blocks per game with the Bobcats, and his shooting percentage reached 51.7%.

But perhaps because the Bobcats owner is Jordan, he did not end up with a contract extension.

Last season, he signed a one-year contract with the Warriors, averaging 6.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

Two more people are added at once, and they are big men with immediate combat power. In addition to Ray Allen, who was signed before, the Heat's strength has increased greatly!

Tang Tian looked at this series of operations and realized that some changes had begun to occur in history.

But this is also reasonable.

If the championship failure and success are strengthened the same way, Riley is a real fool.

The opponent is getting stronger, but the Spurs are not moving.

The management focus is on renewing Duncan, Dior, Green, and Mills.

Duncan has 45 million in three years, Dior has 12 million in two years, Green has 12 million in three years, and Mills has 9 million in three years.

After these contract renewals are completed, the Spurs are basically close to the luxury line and reinforcement basically does not exist.

It is probably not the original intention of Buford and Popovich.

Holt said on the championship night that the team has not exceeded the luxury tax for 15 years. For the boss, the management's performance is great, but for the players, it is not necessarily a good thing that the team refuses to spend money.

Tang Tian was a little worried about his contract renewal next year.

But the good news is that the salary cap will rise sharply in the future. Even if the Spurs really get the poison contract, the team will have enough room to match.

After all, there is room limit for the teams that offer quotations for poison contracts, but there is no such statement to the parent team.

Almost ten days have passed since the free agent market, and Howard still has no clue about trading.

Many teams couldn't afford to wait and began to withdraw one after another, and some major signings and transactions also broke out one after another.

The Nets first quit, who renewed their contract with 4 years and 61 million yuan, and then used a two-year, 24 million yuan contract to conquer Kim Kardashian's "tough guy" Humphries.

Next was the Nuggets, who used a 4-year, 44 million contract to leave behind Javier McGee, who had an explosive physical fitness.

And after that, the Nets became the new focus of the league.

They first brought "Hawk King" Joe Johnson from the Hawks, followed by chips from the Jazz to trade Deron Williams, and then extended Gerald Wallace with a large sum of money.

In an instant, Deron Williams + Joe Johnson + Gerald Wallace + Humphreys + Lopez's main lineup was available.
