Legendary Basketball Tycoon

With the end of the draft and the opening of the free market, the league’s respective teams have begun to prepare for the new season. Most teams still prefer the new season, especially the Western Conference and the Sonics. "Split" gave them the light.

Now that the "dynasty" has completely fallen, what is left is the era of fighting among the heroes.

This year's free market is to be "invincible" in the local area.

The "big fish" of the whole city in the river.

Headed by the old hooligans, many stars like Uncle Mu, Big Dream, Houston, Miller, Rodman, Stockton and many others are ready to start testing the free market.

The first thing that made the headlines in the United States was that the New York Knicks even issued a blank check in order to get Jordan and let Jordan fill it out, but Jordan still chose to stay with the Bulls.

The Bulls offered Jordan a contract with an annual salary of US$30.14 million. At that time, the Knicks and other teams bid more than 30 million to recruit Jordan. The Bulls management was also forced to give Jordan a big contract, but the salary cap of the NBA team at the time. Only about 24 million yuan, the rumor is that the league has come forward to approve that Jordan's salary can not be included in the salary cap, otherwise the Bulls will either give up Jordan or renew Jordan to trade someone else to make room for Jordan's salary.

Fortunately, the league came out to solve the trouble for the Bulls this time. Otherwise, the old gangster really went to the Knicks, and the Bruce really vomited blood. At least before 2000, the New York Hans of the Bruce met James Dolan. The Knicks can only clip their tails.

It's really too strong, I can't play well, Ewing + Lightner + Jordan + Marbury, Bruce sees this lineup and feels desperate, OK!

The old gangster still didn't go to become the Knicks, and Bruce was finally relieved.

The salary of the old hooligans is not included in the salary cap. It still helps the Bulls get a lot of benefits, that is, it can help the team continue to introduce players to increase its strength.

The Knicks, who did not get Jordan, are even more crazy. They are arguing for Internet talent in the free market. The addition of Alan Houston, Chris Childs and Kevin Willis has made the Knicks a favorite to win the new season. .

Then to everyone's surprise, the Seattle SuperSonics starting center Dikembe Mutombo moved freely to the Atlanta Hawks, ready to continue to form the strongest inside combination in the league with power forward Sean Kemp.

Dikembe Mutombo’s five-year, 56 million contract, I have to say that the Eagles do have money. I believe that with this big contract and Sean Kemp’s contract extension, the Eagles will definitely be able to drink a pot. of.

The new season will definitely go far beyond the "luxury tax."

Then the Seattle SuperSonics used point guard Damon Stoudemire + Gary Grant and the Portland Trail Blazers to trade for power forward Clifford Robinson + point guard Terry Porter.

Then the Sonics signed center P.J. Brown and drop-out point guard Chucky Atkins on the free market.

Many local Seattle fans are very pessimistic about the future of the SuperSonics. After Gary Payton and Sean Kemp left Seattle, Dikembe Mutombo, the All-Star also left, will still play in the new season. A hammer!

What is even more unexpected is that the Houston Rockets traded Sam Cassell + Robert Horry + Mark Bryant + Chucky Brown for the "air pig" Charles Barkley from the Phoenix Suns. , Forming the Rockets "Big Three"!

The most shocking thing for everyone is that the Los Angeles Lakers signed a free agent "big shark" Shaquille O'Neal with a seven-year contract worth 120 million US dollars.

This makes many people never expect that the Los Angeles Lakers will once again grab the headlines after the NBA draft.

A few days later, the remaining "big fish" also continued to return to their "house", Stockton of the Jazz, Miller of the Pacers, Big Dream of the Rockets, Rodman of the Bulls They also continued to make appointments with the team.

What's left is the trading of small fish and shrimp.

...

Of course, how could our protagonist fail to do anything in the summer free market?

Hans General Manager Mitch Kupchak provided Bruce with a list of free agents.

The above lists the player information on the expiration of the contract for each position.

To be honest, when Bruce got the list and saw it, he had to praise Mickey Kupchak. The personal information on this was too perfect.

It can be said that Bruce only has to take a look at it and choose the name he has heard in his previous life.

Despite the fact that there are so many big fishes this summer, there are actually many players who have fallen into the free market.

Bruce still saw a lot of familiar names on this, but considering the current configuration of the New York Hans, he also deleted a lot of players.

In fact, the configuration of the New York Hans this year is pretty good.

There are Alonzo Mourning, Sam Perkins, and Mike Brown at the center position.

There are Kevin Garnett and Jermaine O'Neal at the power forward position.

There are Glen Rice, Bruce Bowen, and Ricky Pierce at the small forward position.

There are Kobe Bryant and Aaron McGee at the shooting guard position.

There are Jason Kidd, Darrell Armstrong, and Scott Brooks at the point guard position.

The team has only 13 players so far, and there is still room for improvement in the lineup.

Take the power forward position as an example. Both Garnett and O'Neal are too young. In this position, they must be supplemented by experienced players, especially those with defensive experience, to help them in the future.

For Garnett, Bruce wants to make him the hub of the team's tactics, so Garnett must be versatile, especially defensively.

As for O'Neal, it's good to make him a defensive forward. After all, you still have to let Kobe take the shots in terms of scoring. If you are O'Neal, do your defensive work honestly.

In addition to the lack of veterans at the power forward position, there is also a lack of veterans at the shooting guard.

Kobe may not be able to entrust him with important tasks in the new season. He should practice his skills and offense first in the past few seasons. Listening to Kobe's frequent iron strikes, Bruce feels a headache.

Aaron McGee is still playing time on the bench. This young man, Bruce, is very eye-catching. At least he is indisputable. Since he came to the team, he has been playing in trash time, and he didn’t say much. If you want to be a starter or something, and still play hard, Bruce particularly likes this type of player.

But when Bruce saw the list of players with the shooting guard on the roster, he was immediately depressed. The names on it were few and pitiful, and they were all names that Bruce had never heard of.

Is this still happening?

Although you can choose from a small forward or a shooting guard, Bruce still wants a veteran who specializes in shooting guards to teach Kobe Bryant's experience in this position. If you really look for that kind of guard, your position is not fixed. Not to mention, it is easy to take Kobe off the track.

Bruce also discussed this issue carefully with General Manager Mitch Kupchak, and finally decided to make another transaction.

The goal this time is very clear, and that is to be a veteran.

And Bruce's requirements for the new season are very clear, that is, let the small soldiers be their homes, and the veterans will prevail.

Therefore, whether it is a free market or trading with other teams, always consider veterans.

In accordance with this goal, the New York Hans and Indiana Pacers reached a deal.

The New York Hans took out Bruce Bowen + Darrell Armstrong to get Mark Jackson in the ball position.

The contract between Bruce Bowen and Darrell Armstrong is also about to expire, which happens to match Mark Jackson, whose contract expires.

And Bruce has been greedy for Mark Jackson for a long time. Besides his New York account, his strength is also very good, especially good at organizing and passing, coupled with his experience and leadership skills, it is no problem to play a substitute. Definitely overkill.

The "family card" played by James Dolan is left over from the game. Your Knicks also have many New York local players, and I have two players. Sam Perkins and Mark Jackson are both New York, although they are always older, but they are better known than the local players of your Knicks.

How about it, if you don't accept it, you continue to look for the old gangster to see if they can get rid of you.

The old gangster is still helping Lao Tzu to train a "rookie". If you want to talk about "pro" with the old gangster, I will throw you off James on the street. If you want the old gangster to join the Knicks, it will be impossible for the next life...
