Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Grant Hill is okay. Although he is getting older and his condition has obviously declined, he has a humble personality, is kind to others, has comprehensive skills, and has a steady style of play. Basically, you can't find anything to blame about him. He is a model of a professional player.  It's not an exaggeration, except for the injuries that make people a little worried, but signing him as a veteran and a useful supplement to the team's main lineup is not a problem.

    But Stephon Marbury is something that people cannot praise. He has a unique style of play and is a well-known unique player in the league.  A husband-type player, as a point guard, you basically can't see him passing the ball. He never passes the ball until the last moment. Moreover, he has been the boss of the team for a long time and has an unruly personality. In the end, he ended up in New York.  It got to the point where everyone was clamoring for a fight. Last season, he went to the Boston Celtics to win a championship, but he didn't get it. This season, he thought about winning the championship with his own team. Presti felt a little uncomfortable.  Willing.

    However, Stephon Marbury can be the team's third point guard, which is what the team needs. In fact, every championship-winning team needs such a veteran player.  Last season, Yao Ming and Kurt Thomas also played important roles in the second half of the team, especially in maintaining the team's locker room atmosphere, which was indispensable.

    The team now has Stephen, Yao Ming, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka, Kurt Thomas, Kuppard, Travis Outlaw, Earl Watson  There are eleven players under contract, including Duffy, Nick Collinson, and a second backup point guard, a third center, and a second shooting guard. Von Weaver Presti is still in training and is also interested in giving them  His basic salary allowed him to stay. After all, although he didn't perform well last season, he trained very hard.

    However, the team has selected a rookie Omikaspi who has not yet signed him. He has already reported to the team. The scout team led by Hanlingen is conducting a comprehensive evaluation of him to evaluate his position and development potential in the team.  If he were to sign him again, the team would only have two spots. In the past, it would have been necessary to select from the free agents who came to the team for trial training at this time, but this time since many people took the initiative, it was not that troublesome.

    While the Sonics are signing contracts, other teams are also making trades. The Orlando Magic are also looking for ways to strengthen after experiencing a failure in the finals. In view of the fact that the team lacks a top striker and swingman.  In reality, they traded Raf Alston, Courtney Lee and Tony Batty to the New Jersey Nets for Vince Carter.

    The Los Angeles Clippers also traded Zach Randolph from the Memphis Grizzlies for Quentin Richardson. The most surprising thing was the Detroit Pistons' big move, which successively won three players in the free agent market during the season.  Ben Gordon, who shined in the post-season, paid a five-year and 55 million contract, but the Bulls did not match it, and then signed the "eyebrowless hero" Charlie Villanueva, because the Houston Rockets chose more  Young David Anderson gave up on Chris Wilcox, so the Detroit Pistons signed Chris Wilcox for two years and six million.

    In fact, it was not that Presti had not touched Chris Wilcox's mind, but the hurt of being traded away made Chris Wilcox have no interest in contacting this side at all. Presti's thoughts became  Delusion.

    Jason Kidd signed a three-year, $2,500 contract with the Dallas Mavericks. At this time, the Houston Rockets, who had been causing trouble with the SuperSonics, finally received their retribution. Ron Artest of their team was eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers.  The team signed him with a five-year, thirty-three million contract. The Lakers' signing is generally considered to be worth it. Except for Ron Artest being a little older, his worth can be said to be true.  It's cheap, and the direct purpose of the Lakers signing him is to defend Stephen. Trevor Ariza's defense is okay when facing other people, but against Stephen, it is really bad.

    At this time, the Houston Rockets signed Trevor Ariza with an almost identical contract. Although in terms of personal ability, Trevor Ariza is far inferior to Ron Artest, but after all, he is young and talented.  , and has rich competition experience, this signing cannot be wrong, but it gives people a feeling of fighting spirit.

    Since the Seattle SuperSonics won the championship, they naturally became the target of public criticism across the league. The Cleveland Cavaliers exchanged Shaquille O'Neal for Shaquille O'Neal. In addition to dealing with Orlando's Dwight Howard, they also had the intention of targeting the Sonics. The Orlando Magic  The team brought in Vince Carter because they also wanted to compete with Stephen. The Los Angeles Lakers chose Ron Artest because he is one of the few players in the league who can compete with Stephen in terms of strength on the outside.

    Any team that wants to win the championship will target the Seattle SuperSonics, and the Seattle SuperSonics want to stand out among so many teams.The range also needs to continue to increase compared with last season.

    However, until now, apart from changing to a more famous head coach, the team has not made any big changes. It has also lost two main rotation players, Jarrett Jack and Damien Wilkins. This phenomenon is natural.  This has caused concern among fans. Many fans have left messages on the official website, hoping that the team will not be satisfied with its current strength, increase its recruitment efforts, and not reduce the team's salary expenses due to the construction of the new stadium.

    In this regard, Presti stood up and said that the construction funds for the new stadium have already been in place and have nothing to do with the team's operating funds. They will not affect the team's reinforcement work. As for the signings, they are currently in progress. Please  rest assured.

    Although he has made a public statement, Presti also knows that the fans' patience is limited, so the recruitment work must be accelerated, so that the fans will naturally feel relieved when they see the team's actions. At this time, the Scouting Affairs Department  After completing the investigation of Omikaspi, I think it is worth signing. After all, he is only a last-place first-round pick. His salary is very low, basically the same as the basic salary, and it can be used for four consecutive years. It is indeed a very cost-effective deal.  , Presti liked this kind of development game the most, so after reading the inspection report, he immediately gave Omikaspi a contract.

    But this alone is not enough to appease the fans. Among the three people who are in contact with Allen Iverson, Grant Hill, and Stephon Marbury, Presti thought about it. Among the three, Allen Iverson is the most popular.  He can attract fans and has the greatest reputation, but once he is introduced, he will take a lot of risks, because he does not cooperate well with most players.

    The problem with Grant Hill is that you don't know his physical condition. No matter how low or short the contract is for him, once his vitreous body is injured again, he is likely to retire without even making any contribution.  In terms of factors, his risk is the greatest, but in other aspects he is impeccable.

    As for Stephon Marbury, he doesn¡¯t have any physical problems. Although his performance with the New York Knicks was not very good, his strength is there. And although he didn¡¯t perform well with the Boston Celtics last season, there was nothing wrong with him.  The only thing that worries people is how good his condition is, but this can be investigated.

    After the team signed Omikaspi and added Jerome James, who is worthless except for occupying the roster, the team only has two spots, so it has no choice but to give up Von Weaver.  But even if they sign two people, the team's salary pressure this season is still very high, and it will definitely exceed the luxury tax. What should we do?  Presti has set his sights on Jerome James. Should he buy out his contract or trade him with teams that want to free up salary space.

    However, buying out his contract requires the team to come up with a sum of money at once. In this case, it needs to be applied to the boss. Thinking of this, Presti picked up the phone and dialed Chris Hansen.  After Resty's introduction, Chris Hansen didn't say much. He just told him that everything was for the purpose of enhancing the team's strength and not to think too much about the luxury tax. However, not long after the phone hung up, financial work  The staff came over and informed Presti that a sum of 10 million US dollars had been transferred to the account. Presti immediately knew what the boss meant. Although he said so, no one was willing to pay the luxury tax.  .

    If Jerome James is bought out, the team will have three spots, but who will be signed?
