I am so Accurate

The Warriors' championship parade is over, and the 2009~2010 season has officially come to an end.

A few days later, the 2010 NBA Draft was held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

This also indicates that the new 2010~2011 season has begun.

This year's draft is a serious draft year.

And compared with the 2011 draft, which was also called a young year but produced many superstars, this draft has relatively few players who have achieved value in history.

A few who will be well-known to fans in the future, Paul George, Gordon Hayward, Cousins, Wall, no more, just a few.

And before the draft, among these people, Cousins ​​​​and Wall were the only ones who were favored.

The Warriors also sent out the first round of this year's McGrady in the previous trade, so they only have the 59th pick in the second round.

This is almost the same as not having it.

But this is completely normal. Championship teams basically do not rely on the draft to strengthen their teams. If they do, they mostly come in the free market.

Because the championship is a golden sign, especially since the Warriors can still see their way up, it is very attractive to free agents, especially those veteran players.

Therefore, the Warriors did not invest much energy in this year's draft, and Sun Hao did not pay much attention.

He waited until the draft was over before he took a look.

But it was this glance that almost stopped him.

Because the choice of two teams really surprised him.

One is the Knicks. Although the Knicks traded Anthony last season, they failed to enter the playoffs in the end.

And in the later stages, the team didn't let Anthony and Harden play much. It was obvious that they were rushing to get a better draft pick.

But in the end, they failed to get the top three picks and only got the tenth pick.

Then, they used this pick to select Paul George...

Harden, George, Anthony...

Sun Hao felt that the Knicks' fate had been changed by Mr. Feng Shui!

This is inconsistent with what he knows in history: "Mud cannot support a wall"!

What's even more frightening is that the Knicks have huge salary space this summer.

With a little work, they could even take on two max-salary contracts.

This is terrible.

Let alone four stars, this might really be a five-star Knicks.

Of course, Sun Hao was just thinking about it casually, because the reputation of the Knicks team in recent years has been so bad that ordinary super giants would not want to go.

Then the other team is the Warriors themselves.

The Warriors selected... Jeremy Lin with the 59th overall pick...

This is very unexpected!

He knew that Jeremy Lin was undrafted, but he didn't remember it was this year.

However, upon closer analysis, this choice itself is not surprising.

There are already many Chinese in the Bay Area, and coupled with Sun Hao's influence, it makes sense to choose a Chinese player.

And this pick actually does not mean that the Warriors will definitely sign Jeremy Lin.

Because if you want to win the championship, there are obviously better substitutes on the free agent market.

It is still very difficult for Jeremy Lin to stay with the Warriors.

After finishing this somewhat surprising draft, Sun Hao held another personal training camp.

Although the current system version 3.0 exists, his training benefits in the system are far beyond reality.

But after last year, he found that there were more benefits to holding a training camp.

As the saying goes, basketball is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships.

For example, this year, in addition to Curry and Ibaka, who are still under contract with the Warriors, he also trained with him, including Yi Jianlian, who just successfully proposed to his girlfriend, and James, Wade, and Laja Bell, who are now free agents. , McGrady et al.

This training camp was quite lively.

That is, after the training camp started, Sun Hao had a chat with James.

James' current situation with the Nuggets is actually very similar to that of the Cavaliers.

Denver is a lot bigger than Cleveland, but it's still not very attractive to free agents.

This can actually be seen from the fact that last year the team only signed Marion and exchanged for Big Ben.

Of course, thinking on the bright side, Ben's contract expiration this season will release a lot of salary space. In addition, James' contract expires and the Nuggets have his Bird Rights to risk a contract extension. Theoretically, the Nuggets There is a lot of room for improvement.

But it was during this chat that Sun Hao discovered James' true thoughts.

And that kind of thinking made him understand James's mood when he made the decision.

Just like the "chosen.1" nickname given to him by Sun Hao, James' ability and his expectations for himself are also directed towards that.

Originally, Sun Hao thought that James had already won the championship and he would become a totem of Denver.

But in fact, he overlooked one point. James was a dragon-slaying warrior, but he retired the season he won the championship. In fact, he...failed to slay the dragon.

Not to mention that his champion is the same as the woman he used to compare to.

When you were single or a bachelor, you had an extremely passionate desire for a woman's body.

And then you finally get a chance to experience it, taste the forbidden fruit, and you're satisfied and never want to think about it again?

The answer is obviously no.

Because you will even want more times.

The reason why James left Cleveland in history was because he was unable to win a championship in his seven-year career.

Now, he is also confused about his future in Denver. He feels that he may never taste the championship again.

So if the Nuggets cannot make major reinforcements in this year's free market, Sun Hao thinks he will leave.

But one thing James didn't tell Sun Hao was that Garnett had chatted with him before and said something to him that impressed him deeply.

"Don't let loyalty get you wrong."

When he heard Garnett say this, the first thing he thought of was one of his idols, Sun Hao.

Everyone can see Sun Hao's contribution to Dallas, but in the end he was inevitably sent to Los Angeles.

The reason why James didn't say anything is also very simple. There is a lot of grievance between Sun Hao and Garnett. There is no need to talk about this kind of thing.

And there's another point.

Sun Hao said that on this year's championship night, hoping that the challengers will become stronger.

He doesn't know what others think. His idea is that he must play with someone strong enough.

Because after seven years with the Nuggets, he has already understood that he is not a powerful scorer like Jordan, Kobe, or Sun Hao.

He can't succeed on his own, so he has to find strong enough teammates.

This is nothing to be ashamed of. Never in history has one person been able to win the championship.

Even Sun Hao last season had a super scorer like Durant around him.

The day after chatting with James, the door to the NBA free market officially opened.

If there is nothing noteworthy about this year's draft, then the free market is completely on the other extreme.

James, Wade, Bosh, Stoudemire, Gasol, Ray Allen, Pierce, Nowitzki, Gay, McGrady, Tony Allen...

Just looking at this list you will know how crazy this year's free market is.

It is precisely because of the madness that there were already many rumors out there long before the door to the free market officially opened.

For example, after failing to win consecutive championships, Ray Allen may choose to leave the Celtics.

There are also rumors that the Knicks are very interested in Ray Allen and are willing to offer the veteran a two-year, $30 million contract, which is much larger than the contract extension offered by the Celtics.

For another example, Wade's departure from Miami is a foregone conclusion, and he is likely to join a new team with Bosh, who is in the same class. James' Nuggets will be the place where the three of them will get together with the highest probability.

For example, the Knicks are also very interested in Stoudemire and Gasol, and they are trying to convince one of the two big men to join New York.

There is also news that the 76ers are very interested in Gay. Now their star player is Iguodala, but Iguodala has been proven not to be a qualified leader, so they hope to make some changes.

All in all, rumors are flying and no one knows what will happen until something is finalized.

Therefore, unlike previous years, after the free market opened this year, there was obviously much less signing news.

The biggest signing came from Nowitzki.

He renewed his contract with the Mavericks for 80 million in four years, which is also the least suspense signing.

Then, there are changes to some role players.

The Grizzlies let go of sixth man Mike Miller and then signed Tony Allen to a three-year, $15 million contract.

Because James Posey did not go to the Celtics as he did in history, Allen got more performance opportunities with the Celtics and was worth a higher price.

However, his inability to shoot was severely targeted in the playoffs. Coupled with the team's salary pressure, the Celtics did not choose to keep him this year.

But the Grizzlies are different. The Grizzlies are now on the path of "pseudo-small ball" with one large and four small players. What they need is players who can defend well.

As long as he can play defensive counterattacks as much as possible, Rose's abilities can be demonstrated to the greatest extent.

After the signing was completed, the previous rumors about Gay were self-defeating.

Because this kind of reinforcement means that the Grizzlies do not want to break the current lineup.

Rose, Tony Allen, Gay, Deng, Gasol, and Brewer on the bench, this lineup will be very competitive next season.

After the Grizzlies, the Warriors also started to take action.

Their biggest signing was to use the salary space released by the expiration of Tracy McGrady's contract to sign Raja Bell with a three-year, 10 million contract!

Bell is 34 years old this year. His performance in the playoffs last season was average, and the Mavericks no longer want to keep him.

But veterans have the benefits of veterans. Bell is Nelson's old player and Sun Hao's former teammate.

Just a few days ago, Bell was training with Sun Hao.

Then, they renewed McGrady's contract with a two-year, 10 million contract.

After winning the championship, McGrady's market price is more than this, and many teams are willing to offer him a multi-million contract.

But McGrady knew that if he hadn't gone to the Warriors, he might have had to sign a minimum salary, so with a grateful heart, he chose to cut his salary and stay with the Warriors.

Of course, no one is a saint.

Another important reason for McGrady's choice is the prospects of the Warriors. If he can really join a dynasty with the Warriors, it will undoubtedly be the best experience of his career.

Then, the Warriors also offered Jeremy Lin a non-guaranteed basic salary contract, and the latter performed very well in the summer league.

After completing these consecutive signings, the Warriors' current roster.

Point guard: Sun Hao, Curry, Watson, Jeremy Lin

Shooting Guards: Tracy McGrady, Bell, Danny Green, Azubuike

Small forward: Durant, Zhu Fangyu

Power forward: Ibaka, Landry

Center: Oden, Hayes

This lineup only needs to strengthen the inside line, and maybe even strengthen the forward line according to Nelson's style of last season's finals, and it will be fine.

And at this time, the Warriors management is no longer in a hurry.

The core and rotation of the current lineup are basically enough. If they are to be strengthened, there is a high probability that they will be biased towards veterans to gain experience, or there will be some newcomers that are particularly worthy of training.

Just as the Warriors were completing signings one after another, other signings were being made in the free market.

First of all, there is no suspense. Gay has a five-year maximum salary contract of 82.3 million.

The Grizzlies have given Gay sincerity and basically confirmed that Gay will be one of the core players in the future.

However, their operation may also cause them to face huge salary pressure in the future.

This is also a common problem among many youth teams. Young players' contract renewals are stable and come together, which tests the management's operational capabilities.

Of course, both Rose and Gasol are still on rookie contracts. As long as they can perform well, such contracts will definitely be worth it.

The Clippers were relatively quiet. They just made some minor repairs, re-signed Odom, Gasol and Shannon Brown, and then used a minimum salary contract to win the contract that did not perform well with the Wizards. Sh Howard, the reinforcements are basically over.

There is nothing that can be done about it. The Clippers are now facing too much salary pressure.

The team's ability to achieve this level is already attributed to Kobe. Otherwise, with Sterling's characteristics, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve this.

The free market is going on, and signings are going on, but James and Wade, who everyone is most concerned about, have not made any move.

And according to people close to James, he is disappointed with what the Nuggets are doing in the current market.

This also makes it less likely that Wade and Bosh will join the Nuggets together in many previous rumored versions.

And not long after that, the Bulls announced a big deal.

They sent Chandler to the Mavericks and received the Mavericks' 2012 first-round pick, Diop and a trade exception worth $10 million.

This transaction is both reasonable and unexpected.

It makes sense that Chandler would have limited playing time in the Finals, but it was unexpected because the Bulls got nothing from the deal.

But soon, the media followed up on the deal, which was a three-party deal.

The third party is the Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors signed Bosh to a five-year maximum salary contract on a sign-and-trade basis and then sent him to the Bulls.

The Raptors received the Mavericks' 2012 first-round pick, Diop and Peja Stojakovic.

This operation means that the Raptors let Bosh go and enter a new round of reconstruction.

The addition of Bosh has allowed the Bulls to embark on the path of small ball. The core structure of Paul + Yi Jianlian + Bosh is still worth looking forward to.

But in this way, the previous idea of ​​Wade and Bosh teaming up to play with James was completely bankrupt.

In this case, one of the biggest problems arises.

What will happen to James and Wade who are still on the free market?

Or will they choose to stay with their parent team in the end?
