568. The great change of the alliance, the storm rises (6000 words)(1/2)
After the dynasty, there will definitely be a collapsed summer, with superstars flowing, amazing big deals... Some people have long been hyping these.
In the summer of 1993 after the establishment of the last dynasty, Jordan retired, Webber was traded as soon as he was selected by the Magic. Tim Hardaway, the first point guard after the Magic retired, was reimbursed, and the 1992 super giant center Mooning had a conflict with the Hornets and wanted to leave... There are also many big events.
The media has long been making noises that no matter whether the Supersonics can complete three consecutive championships this season, something big will definitely happen.
Look at the Rockets' two consecutive championships, they failed to defend their title in the 1995-96 season. In the summer of 1996, O'Neal signed the Lakers naked.
The Lakers failed to defend their title in the 1998-99 season, and the free market also fell into madness in the summer of 1999.
This year, in theory, the same is true.
It is impossible to think about four consecutive championships, so the new season will definitely be a good time for other teams to compete for the championship.
Except for the great melee in the 1970s, there are precedents in other eras, and there will be two or three teams that dominate one era.
At present, every strong team that is determined to compete for the championship will want to take advantage of the one or two years after the Supersonics dynasty to take advantage of the opportunity to compete for the championship. It is best to lay the foundation and become another strong team that has a stable championship victory.
So, the free market this summer will definitely be particularly crazy and everyone is looking forward to it.
But no matter what, you have to have a degree!
Malone's contract expires and attempts to stay in the Bulls' minimum salary is denied and will enter the free market.
A top power forward who averaged 32 minutes per game, scored 17 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.2 steals, was rejected if he wanted to stay in the team for a minimum salary.
Then, Ben Wallace, known as the "No. 1 Defensive Center in History", received a contract offer from the Bulls that a pure defensive player would not be able to get.
But this does not affect giving Malone a veteran salary, but the Bulls don't give it to him, and Kobe has not officially renewed his contract... Of course, the Bulls are not afraid of Kobe not renewing the contract, and the parent team matches the right, but if Kobe accepts the qualification clause and stays at the team for US$6.3 million a year, the Bulls will be crying to death.
The rookie in the 2003 is simply a sin...
Finally, it was the draft, and finally, people's attention returned to the draft.
After three years, the draft has been hotly discussed since the beginning of the year.
Then, the draft just started, and there was a deal, and no one paid attention to this draft anymore...
At around 7 p.m. on June 27, 2003, the Boston Times revealed that the Lakers tried to trade Garnett with a contract that O'Neal and Rick Fox would expire next season, but was rejected by Kevin McHale.
Immediately, at 8:06 pm, the host of the NBA Draft sub-stage announced that the Lakers reached a deal with the Heat, and the Heat gave Caron Butler and Brian Grant, the No. 1 pick in this year's draft, unprotected draft pick in the first round of 2005, and four were replaced, and Shake O'Neal was obtained from the Lakers' trade!
...
...
‘My mother…’
Watching the live transaction broadcast on the TV screen, Zhang Hao pulled Tiga and started breastfeeding his son's dog head.
Although his father is a little crazy, Tiga still likes to stay with his father. He feels that only his father will not treat him as a child.
However, it is actually quite comfortable to get breasted and a skull, but Tiga thinks this is very dangerous!
But what can he do...
In the latest Ultraman Theater script, Ultraman Humanism Zhang Hao has a son, Tiga will go and play soy sauce, and his own son is also a selling point.
At noon, he was still discussing Garnett's trip to the Kings with several national teammates. Wang Zhizhi jumped up with joy, drank some wine, and ran on the beach...
Zhang Hao thought Garnett's deal was the craziest thing this summer. Then, at night, April, Britney, Little Loli and the visiting guest O'Neal's wife, Shanny O'Neal, went to play mahjong. Zhang Hao took his son and daughter to watch the live broadcast of the draft, and then saw O'Neal being sent to the Heat by the Lakers...
Then, LeBron James from Akron took the stage and put on a hat with the Lakers logo printed on it, hugged David Stern, and came off the stage to hug Jerry West tightly.
I don't know, but I thought these two people were close relatives and friends.
In fact, the two of them had never even spoken before, and they had never met officially.
Then, the Nuggets did not choose the two inside players Milicic and Bosh. The media has long revealed that the Nuggets’ target is Anthony. The reason is that the Nuggets have chosen many inside players in recent years, and many of them have played out, and their talents have been overflowing.
Milicic and Bosh are very unfortunate. The Hawks, who are third-rounders, are also talented in the interior. There is an Eddie Curry who doesn't know how to train them yet. He didn't choose the inside, so he chose the point guard of Stockton, the template Kirk Hinrich.
The fourth pick was originally a Grizzlies, but now it is a Heat. The Heat did not choose these two talented inside players and chose Wade. Pat Riley said in an interview that Wade was Jordan 5 cm shorter.
Pat Riley was beaten to death by Jordan. Everyone knows this. Even if he says that, no one cares who Wade is...
The Pistons took the lead in the fifth pick and chose Chris Bosh, who was united in style with Stoudemire.
Dako Milicic, the youngest draft pick in this draft, fell to the sixth pick and was taken away by the Rockets.
The Raptors, who ranked seventh, chose TJ Ford.
During the live broadcast, the TV station commentators were joking that with another pick, a rookie who was extremely strong would appear. I hope that the team with the ninth pick will not get the correct answer and then wipe the answer.
In 1995, the Raptors also selected the fastest and shortest player in that draft with the 7th pick.
In the 8th pick, the Clippers won Chris Carman.
In the 9th pick, the Magic selected Reese Gaines.
With the 10th pick, the Warriors selected Michael Pitrus.
In the 11th pick, the Knicks selected Michael Svetney.
At the 12th pick, the Jazz traded the draft pick to the Spurs, who chose Luke Reedno.
In the 13th pick, the Hornets chose David West...
...
‘Wow, really, the logo guy is so decisive! I remember that at the end of last month, there was a rumor that Garnett wanted to change teams. At that time, the Timberwolves and Garnett both denied the rumors, but the Lakers still decided to get Garnett and O'Neal. Even at the age of 31, he was still O'Neal. If it weren't for the general manager of the Timberwolves who were from the Celtics, O'Neal would agree if he was a normal manager?’
‘What a pity, I almost saw the Big Three of the Celtics become Big Three of the Lakers…’
‘But James and Pierce become teammates…emmm…’
‘Ray Allen likes James very much. He is a decent person and likes people who know how to do things.’
‘Milisic has gone to the Rockets…The Rockets can train the center. This is the Pistons took Stoudemire away, and the style of choosing the center has changed. Bosh, the Little Box + Long-necked Dragon. Can these two towers in the interior be able to make it easier?’
‘Ward and O'Neal joined forces a year in advance… To be honest, the God's Vision has a good vision. Wade's playing style should be the one among the geniuses in this class who can realize his talent the fastest. The God's Vision just wanted to win a championship, and may not have considered too much in the future…’
‘The little blacksmith is still so mean, and he drove Ma Long away…’
‘Who am I the Magic selected this poor version of this Magic? Oh, senior, Reese Gaines of the University of Louisville…’
Zhang Hao has no impression of this rookie... I don’t know when the ninth pick has become very popular.
Many things happened today, so many things were happening, and Zhang Hao was very busy eating melons.
Just as she was breasted with Tiga's head, little Annie jumped onto the sofa, pulled her father's arm away, got into her arms, and titted with her brother's dog head together...
Tiga was unlucky. He heard that he was born earlier and should be the eldest brother, but the two people in front of him turned him into the second brother... Fortunately, there was another younger brother behind him, otherwise it would be a loss!
What made Tiga most angry was that Zhang Yao, who forced herself to be her sister, looked the same as his mother, with a wheat-colored and beautiful skin, and looked very healthy and strong, but he was a little man, just like his father.
The little loli among the twins is here, Zhang Hao is wearing a dog's head with one hand... "Annie, aren't you learning to play mahjong?"
"Aunt Xiangni just went home with an urgent matter. My aunt received the news that Aunt Xiangni's husband Uncle O'Neal was traded and she had to go home and take a look."
"Oh...O'Neal shouldn't be angry."
"Why? Isn't it a big deal to be traded? My mother said that our family was originally here, but later moved to our current home because of the transaction."
"How to say it, O'Neal was traded to a team that was willing to give him a lot of money... Tiga, do you understand? If you understand, tell your sister that she is not very smart."
“…”
Tiga is so sad. Can you say this?
The violent elder sister is going to beat someone again!
What made Tiga feel the most tragic was not that the violent elder sister was going to beat someone, but that Xiao Zhang, someone mentioned the IQ issue. Since the violent elder sister came here, he didn't say a word!
...
Having teased the two cubs, Zhang Hao found it very fun, and there was also a small handsome guy who was not fluent in speaking, otherwise it would be even more fun.
The draft continues, Zhang Hao watched the live broadcast and waited for good news from the team.
The draft goal is still very clear. Although their draft pick is not high, there are still target candidates.
only……
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the 2003 NBA Draft, the Dallas Mavericks selected Josh Howard of Wake Forest Deacons in the 22nd pick in the first round..."
"Nidaye!"
"Brother! You can't swear in front of the child!"
Zhang Hao turned around and saw that the little loli was covering Gagula's ears and could only respond: "Okay..."
The little loli nodded with satisfaction, but immediately asked, "What's wrong with brother?"
"The person we wanted to choose was taken away."
"Who? Is this? This..."
The little loli looked at Josh Howard, who walked onto the stage and grinned excitedly and showed off his beauty in the prosperous times, and was silent...
After a while, the TV screen had switched to Josh Howard's college performance highlights, the little loli said: "Brother, you don't have to find so many people to set off. You are no worse than those Hollywood actors."
“…”
Zhang Hao was speechless...Is this happening to others?
To be continued...
