"Lakers fans: Once Manu retires, it will be the end of an era."

"Spurs fans: I'm not happy."

"Cavaliers fans: I feel inexplicably sad about this.

Rest in peace for the best years."

Fans have been saddened by Parker's departure for a long time. After all, GDP is an indispensable imprint of the NBA in the first two decades of the 21st century!

But, this is time, it never shows mercy to anyone.

Then, it was officially announced that Booker had signed a five-year, 158 million early contract extension with the Nuggets.

Booker was the 13th pick in the first round of 2015. He continued to grow last season, averaging 24.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.

Time will also slowly ripen these green fruits.

…

"Tell me, does the Thunder management want to buy out my contract directly or use an extension clause on me?

It doesn't matter, I can accept it.

Also, how is the contact with Houston?"

In the New York mansion, Anthony shook the red wine glass in his hand and said to his agent seemingly relaxedly.

After all, he anticipated this day when he decided to exercise his player option for next season.

Moreover, with the addition of Zhou Si and Durant, the Thunder's salary cap has completely exploded!

According to a previous calculation by an NBA salary expert, the Thunder's current total salary has reached 158 million.

There is a clause in the NBA collective bargaining agreement: If a team exceeds the luxury tax line in at least three of the past four seasons, they will have to pay additional luxury tax penalties in the new season, and the Thunder triggered this penalty

rules; in addition to the above fines, they also pay the base luxury tax penalty.

So, all taken together, they will be saddled with a luxury tax penalty of nearly $130 million!

Cutting him, who was in poor form and unable to find his position last season, can help the Thunder save a lot of money. Anthony believes that Detonator will definitely do this.

This is also the reason why they did not welcome Zhou Si before.

Next season, they won't be real teammates anyway.

"No! Cameron, we don't have to go to Houston!"

Anthony's agent said excitedly!

"Just now, the Thunder management said they hope to see you play with Zhou Si and Durant and win a championship for the team together!"

"etc……

Isn’t that what they said before?”

Anton put down the red wine glass in his hand and interrupted the agent.

"Zhou spoke and said he wanted to play ball with you.

The Thunder management will not refuse any of his requests."

"week……"

Anthony couldn't help but think of the figure who defeated his alma mater in the NCAA competition.

In just a few years, I didn’t expect that the young boy who was still a little immature at the time had grown up to the point where he could give orders to the management at will!

I have to work hard too!

I don’t want to win the championship lying down?

Thinking about it, Anthony said to his agent,

"In addition to canceling all vacations with my family and friends, I also asked you to help me find out about Zhou's Demon God Training Camp.

I don’t want to be looked down upon!”

I am not old enough to need charity from others!

…

Thunder general manager Presti was speechless at first when he received the reply from Zhou Si that he wanted to play with Melo.

This honey operation really made him not want to see it, but in order to take care of Zhou Si's emotions, he could only hold his nose and endure it!

Then, the boss of Oklahoma City also spoke.

Although he is willing to pay the luxury tax for the championship, the luxury tax is too much!

Quick, let the boss do the operation!

Presti looked at the player list in his hand and could only start making phone calls.

It doesn't matter if the players with the lowest salary are players with mid-level contracts. He can only sweep them out one by one and replace them with a group of players with the lowest salary.

It’s really a clearance sale now!

However, Presti will not let the team's bench be completely rotten, but will sign people from rookies, undrafted players and veterans!

Although it is a basic salary, the Thunder's current reputation is really very useful!

It can not only reduce salary but also add new vitality to the team. The team will still be the favorite to win the championship next season!

After some operations, Coach Presti looked at the player list in his hand and thought.

…

China, Zhou Si has long forgotten about the Thunder.

In his opinion, the new season will be very challenging with Melo holding him back and locking up salary space, as well as a group of unknown teammates holding him back!

2 against 8!

interesting.

It’s better not to take action yourself!

Zhou Si's life at home passed very quickly.

Time came to August 18th in a blink of an eye.

NBA, with the news broke by WOJ, was once again bombed to pieces!

According to the latest news from WOJ, Kawhi Leonard will be traded to the Cavaliers to join forces with James!

After Zhou Si and Durant teamed up, James and Kawhi will also be on the same team next season!

This news shocked almost everyone!

According to previous reports, the Spurs are clearly close to reaching a deal with the Raptors!

What "The Raptors have made an irresistible offer for Kawhi" "Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri is confident in persuading Leonard to renew his contract with the Raptors" "The Spurs and Raptors have been discussing for two weeks, and the deal is the most

"It will be completed soon." But the latest hot headline is, why did the Cavaliers secretly plot against Chen Cang?

After seeing the Cavaliers' chips, many fans shut up.

In order to get Kawhi, the Cavaliers paid so much!

Previously, according to WOJ, the conditions offered by the Raptors were approximately DeRozan + potential rookie + 2019 first-round draft pick!

Although it seems that the Raptors' bargaining chip is not very impressive, you must know that this transaction is not a small card, but only the one-year use right of the small card.

If Kawhi's contract expires next summer and he leaves, it can be said that the Raptors have paid so much and only traded for Lonely!

Therefore, among the offers received by the Spurs, the Raptors are already the most sincere.

The Cavaliers, on the other hand, seemed a little crazy.

them!

The two All-Stars Irving and Ade were directly displayed!

Although Popovich doesn't want to send Kawhi to a team that has championship hopes, he also wants Kawhi to suffer from the severe cold for a year...

but……

The Cavaliers really gave too much, and Popovich simply couldn't refuse.

That's why Kawhi was traded to Cleveland.

Then, WOJ followed up with the report.

The specific transaction details are:

The Spurs sent Leonard and Kyle Anderson and acquired Irving and Ade from the Cavaliers!

The transaction value of Xiaoka was really squeezed to the maximum by Popovich!

In fact, when he received the Cavaliers' trade request before reaching the deal with the Raptors, Popovich really wanted to ask, how about a first-round pick?

But after thinking about the gritty tone of the Cavaliers general manager on the phone, Popovich still didn't speak.

If this duck with its mouth flew away, he would also feel distressed!

Those are Owen and Ade!

Delightful!
Chapter completed!
