NBA beast center

Chapter 336 Exciting free agent market

Shouye is training in the Chinese men's basketball team, and the NBA teams are busy with drafts, strengthening lineups, preparing for trades, and so on.

The Timberwolves have indeed put Love on the shelves, and some teams have come to inquire about the price, but the offer is not satisfactory.

If the Timberwolves did not make the playoffs last season, or if Love performed as well in the playoffs as he did in the regular season, there are still many teams interested in this big man with comprehensive offensive skills, even if his defensive ability is really good. The very average.

But this round of the series with the Spurs has discounted Love's worth.His trade value is rock bottom.He needs to prove himself again, prove that he can perform well in the playoffs, and he needs to prove that his defense is not enough to drag the team back.Otherwise, the maximum salary contract may not be obtained.

This year's free agent market will be very lively, because James will become a free agent.

In addition to James, Anthony, Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Zach Randolph, Paul Gasol, Blood Cloth, Chandler Parsons, Ariza and other stars will become free agents.

But James will still be the biggest fish in this year's free market.Due to the Heat's disastrous defeat to the Spurs in this year's Finals, there are rumors that he will leave the Heat and start "Decision [-]".And where his next stop will be will be the biggest question this offseason.

There is no doubt that there will be a large number of NBA teams chasing James. Although he is about to turn 30 years old, he is still at his peak in terms of court performance and personal physical condition.With his body, it shouldn't be a big problem for another two or three years at the peak. Those teams that expect to hit the championship all hope to get him.

The Timberwolves also want to get James. General manager Saunders has already spoken, and the team will do whatever it takes to get James.

Shou Ye wondered what the Timberwolves would do to get James?Because there is no space!Unless you give away Love or Shou Ye for nothing, you won't be able to make room for a maximum salary to get James!

Do you expect James to sign a middle class?He's out of his mind and came to Minnesota to help the poor, and signed a middle-class job with you.

There is only one possibility, which is to sign first and then change, but signing and changing will trigger a hard salary cap, which is very difficult to operate.And are the Heat willing to sign with you?

Shou Ye thinks this is all wishful thinking of the Timberwolves. Rather than getting superstars like James and Anthony, without trading Love, try to get defensive and talented players like Ariza and Bradley. Players with a certain offensive ability are more practical.

If the starting five were Shouba, Love, Ariza, Bradley, and Rubio last season, the defense would definitely not be so bad, and their record would definitely be better.

Shou Ye doesn't know what the management's mind is thinking. Sanders will come to coach in person this season. You don't have any clues about your own coaching level?You must know that in the more than two seasons he coached for the Wizards, he only allowed the team to achieve a record of 51 wins and 130 losses, and the winning percentage was only a poor 28.2%.

Shou Ye doesn't think that Sanders' coaching ability is better than Adelman's. He doesn't expect him to have any super coaching ability.

On July 7, the NBA's annual free agent market officially opened.But unlike previous years, there were no large-scale free agent signings after the opening of this day, and there were very few transactions.

The reason is that everyone is waiting for James to make a decision.

The Timberwolves are not idle, they are selling Love everywhere, but there are not many interested teams.

Love's current problem is not just as simple as his performance in the playoffs. He signed a 4-year contract with the team before, and it has been two years.Considering that he will almost certainly jump out of the contract, his contract is theoretically only one year.

Those teams who want to get Love spend a lot of effort to get him, but if he doesn't promise to renew his contract, they can only get him for one year. He is not a top star in the league, and not many teams are willing to pay for him Give away a lot of chips for one year of use.

Shou Ye is now thinking about who the team will trade for this offseason.As long as it's not Chandler Parsons, if Sanders' brain is going to get this handsome guy, he will definitely stop him.

Compared with Love, Parsons seems to be cheating too much.It can't be described as cheating father, grandpa cheating grandpa.

Shouye people are preparing for the Men's Basketball World Cup in China, but they have been paying attention to the movement of NBA free agents in the United States.

On July 7, James published an open letter in "Sports Illustrated", announcing that he will return to the Cavaliers!

This is definitely the biggest news in this year's free agent market!

With the dust settled on James' next home, other free agents have also signed. On July 7, Anthony renewed his contract with the Knicks with a five-year, $16 million maximum salary.

The Timberwolves did not make any moves for a long time, but soon, news about them also came, which made Shou Ye very excited.

The news is that the Timberwolves will talk to the Warriors about the Love deal.The content of the transaction is Love exchange Clay Thomson and David Lee.

The reason why Shou Ye was so excited was that in his previous life, he never paid attention to this transaction rumor.He didn't have much interest in David Lee, who was also a strong offensive power forward.He is interested in Clay!That is the future Buddha!

Clay is a historical 3-point shooter in the league. The difference between him and a pure shooter like Korver is that he also has excellent defense and a certain ability to play singles with the ball. He is an excellent second choice.

Shou Ye is imagining that if the deal can be completed, the Timberwolves will go to the free agent market to sign Ariza, then the team can line up the starting lineup of Beast, David Lee, Ariza, Clay, and Rubio next season.

The defense of this lineup will be a huge improvement over last season, and the offense will improve as well.Although David Lee's defense is poor, can it be worse than Love?

After trading Love, the Timberwolves still have young rookies and draft picks in their hands. They can pack the contracts of Kevin Martin and others, and then trade to get other players with immediate combat power. In this way, this team will really have the chance to hit the championship. Chance!

Warriors management, you must be a little confused!Thompson is nothing good, he can dribble to his feet, he can slip, his talent is mediocre, he can't dunk, he is not as handsome as Love, you take Love away!

Love is the savior of the Warriors. He and Curry are golden partners. He and Bogut will become the best inside combination in the league...

I can't make it up...
