The only point guard on the roster is Steve Blake, who was just traded.

Li Zhen took a look at the list.

Still have to do some trading.

There is a lot of overlap between the forward and defensive line players.

But, there's no rush now.

This kind of petty trade is easy to happen. The point is that the forwards and guards owned by the Clippers all have special skills and are easy to trade: everyone gets what they need, and it is best to deal with patchwork transactions.

Now, Li Zhen is quite interested in watching the fire from the other side.

He wanted to see how Xia Tian's drama would continue.

"I will go to Saipan for vacation tomorrow and will stay there for about a month to spend time with my family."

Li Zhen said to Isiah Thomas.

"Tomorrow, the team will officially announce your joining."

"At the press conference, you can publicly express your responsibility for these transactions. I believe the doubts tonight will turn into praise."

Li Zhen said to Thomas before leaving.

The Smiling Assassin tilted his chin slightly, which was his habitual show-off action. He felt...everything came back.

Only Thomson didn't know what was going on: It was obviously Bruce who was doing it. Thomas had been searching for photos of macho men on his phone. How could it be said that it was Isiah's handiwork?

This is the tacit understanding between Li Zhen and Thomas.

Li Zhen didn't want to explain the red tape, let alone the transaction logic.

He just works by intuition.

Moreover, the spotlight made him resist.

So, the best candidate is of course Isiah Thomas.

Otherwise, why would the team spend millions of dollars on him?

Isiah enjoys this job, he likes to show off.

…

The day after the draft ended, the Boston Celtics announced that they had completed contract extensions with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, and the Dallas Mavericks also completed a contract extension with Nowitzki.

These players who entered the league in the late 1990s bear strong marks of their times, and they have no concept of transitioning into Rufeng.

On the contrary...things are changing in Miami.

Some media pointed out that Dwyane Wade intends to return to his hometown team and join forces with Derrick Rose.

Dwyane Wade's agent is actually Bosh's agent, and he was also there to talk about Wade's intention to change to a new environment.

This made Pat Riley furious.

Only then did he realize that his back door had been stolen.

Then.

The fortune teller showed his ability as a super trader. When Chris Bosh missed, he directly threw an olive branch to Amare Stoudemire.

Stoudemire announced that he would join Miami with an annual salary of $100 million over five years.

This time, Pat Riley took the initiative.

He even spoke directly to the media: "If Dwyane needs to change his environment, I am even willing to provide him with a sign-and-trade condition."

However, he told Phil Jackson privately: "If you want Dwyane Wade, you have to trade for Marc Gasol!"

The old fox is indeed an old fox.

After acquiring Stoudemire and then Gasol, the Heat have begun to take shape as a strong team.

It can still attract LeBron James to join. Even if LeBron James doesn't come, it can still create problems for New York in the Eastern Conference.

The point is.

In addition to Marc Gasol, he also wants Francisco, Eric Gordon and Dragic.

Because only these people combined can match Wade's annual salary of 20 million.

This is to hollow out the Knicks' original team.

As we all know, the Knicks are strong because they have an elite lineup, a strong inside line, and a legendary commander.

Now, is Stoudemire plus Gasol worse than Zach Randolph plus Gasol?

Plus Dragic, Eric Gordon, Francisco.

James may not come to Miami.

Phil Jackson and Jerry West were defeated.

They quickly sent a signal to James' team.

James never let go.

This put the two of them into a difficult situation.

At the same time, their "old rival" Isiah Thomas, who has always hovered in the shadow of New York, announced in Los Angeles that he would join the Clippers.

Moreover, he told the media: "That's right. Last night's transaction and draft were all made by me."

"Look at the Clippers' current lineup. No team has a stronger lineup than us. We can even organize two completely different starting teams."

Isiah Thomas is so confident on TV.

really.

Those TV commentators and basketball experts turned to him one after another.

Then he boasted: "It is indeed the work of Isiah Thomas."

"The Smiling Assassin's skills in changing cages and changing birds are unparalleled in the world. While others are still thinking about seeking super deals, he has secretly built a powerful team for the Clippers."

"DeAndre Jordan, the two Griffins, Milicic...is this another new super inside combination?"

"Look at their forward and defensive lines. Their salaries are reasonable, their offense and defense are matched, and they are strong. I should have understood earlier that only Isiah's manipulation can complete such a situation!!"

"..."

Suddenly, praises abounded.

Of course, the media focuses more questions on.

"Will Bruce join the Los Angeles Clippers?"

Recently, many media have photographed Li Chen appearing in Los Angeles. Moreover, his super Chinese-style building has begun to take shape after a year of construction, and it is estimated that it will be officially put into use in another year and a half.

Moreover, the news that Jack Lee holds a stake in the Clippers has been arousing heated discussions in the league. Everyone is speculating that the Clippers will be Li Zhen's next club.

It’s just that Li Zhen never accepts interviews.

Therefore, the question can only be thrown to Isiah Thomas.

Thomas answered calmly: "My answer to this question is no comment."

"I just want to say that we have never pursued anyone, and we will not be superstitious about building a team with superstars. In my basketball philosophy, the team... is the most important thing."

Thomas was still talking to himself.

But his appearance gave two careerists in New York a great stimulus.

Seeing Thomas starting to build a strong team again, Phil Jackson and Jerry West were impatient.

They finally made a decision and made a deal!

As a result, a blockbuster transaction occurred.

At the same time, LeBron James also announced that he would conduct an unprecedented live television broadcast to announce his decision.

The summer storm has finally come to an end!
