Chapter 543 Lineup for the new season
The Olympics are over.
No one expected that both coach Wang Fei and Zhou Yao, who were the heroes of the championship, would leave the national team.
For domestic fans.
Who will take over as the national team coach next has become a hot topic.
There are also people discussing who will replace Zhou Yao's main position.
Of course, there are also many fans who don't care about this for the time being.
In addition to some friendly matches, there will be no official games for the men's basketball team until next year.
For fans, of course the next thing that needs the most attention is the NBA.
And for fans who have been paying attention to the trading market.
This summer, the NBA's big trades have shaken the world.
The Celtics' Big Five lineup was indeed not saved.
They did keep Garnett, who was originally considered the most likely to leave.
Ben Wallace, Ray Allen and Baron Davis all left the team.
There was also news that Pierce was traded.
Fortunately, Celtics management and Pierce himself both stood up to refute the rumors.
In addition, Rajon Rondo was acquired from the Bobcats.
The Celtics are at least still competitive in the Eastern Conference.
In the East, the Heat and Bobcats can really be called a split team.
O'Neal was given away, White Chocolate was given away, and Mourning also retired.
In addition, several important role players were gone.
Many people are saying that the Heat have given up on themselves.
This season, let alone competing for the championship, it will be difficult for the Heat to even enter the playoffs.
As for the bobcats.
Compared with last season, the Bobcats left 9 players at once.
However, some people say that the Bobcats have retained their basic team.
Even with some tinkering, they are still a championship-level team.
Unlike the Heat, who are simply chasing the No. 1 pick.
The team in the Western Conference was dismantled by the Lakers, who had just won the championship.
It seems that this championship has given Jim Buss a lot of confidence.
This time I am prepared to play a big one.
Of course, as the core of the team, Kobe will definitely stay.
And the Lakers are planning to trade Chris Paul again.
This young man was vulnerable to last week's Yao Shi.
But he is also the top point guard in the league.
Of course, the Hornets don't really want to ignore the Lakers.
……
The Bobcats finally finalized their roster.
The centers are last year's No. 1 pick Oden, this year's rookie DeAndre Jordan, and this year's Olympic scoring champion Wang Zhizhi. In addition, Zaza Pachulia was acquired from the Hawks through multiple transactions.
Oden's contract has three years left, and this year's contract is 3 million.
As the No. 5 pick, Jordan also has 316 million this year.
Wang Zhizhi’s is 540 million.
Pachulia also has 400 million.
Fortunately for others, no one expected that the Bobcats would trade Pachulia.
After all, it was because of him that he injured several Bobcats players.
This guy even tried to defeat Zhou Yao, but he didn't succeed.
In terms of power forward, Luis Scola still has a one-year contract worth 122 million.
The Bobcats also acquired Paul Millsap from the Jazz, who has never performed well. His contract is 80 per year.
In addition, the Bobcats also used the No. 27 pick in their hands to select Leon Anderson, whose salary this year is 98.
Small forward.
There is this year’s No. 28 pick, Nicolas Batum from France, with an annual salary of 97.
Durant, last year's Rookie of the Year, will naturally stay, with an annual salary of 448 million.
In addition, the Bobcats also signed veteran Anfernee Hardaway.
Pence is 37 years old.
Last season, I had a big chance with the Heat, but it was a pity that I fell short in the end.
This time, he chose to hug Zhou Yao's thigh.
Of course, Pence's strength is no longer what it used to be.
However, an annual salary of 125 million is indeed not expensive.
At some critical moments, as a veteran, he may still be able to play some role.
shooting guard.
Although jr left, jj redick has more room to play.
His annual salary of 214 million is not expensive either.
In addition, the Bobcats also acquired Nick Young from the Wizards.
This youngster's performance last season left a deep impression on Bobcat fans.
But for the Wizards, he is just a problem with too unique a style of play.
Although there were some good performances, if he let go, the data would be just like that.
The Bobcats easily acquired this 23-year-old young man.
As for his annual salary of 160 million, it's really nothing.
As for the shooting guard position, the Bobcats also have someone to hold their thighs.
The former boss of the Mavericks, Michael Finley was unhappy with the Spurs last season.
He is 35 years old.
I was willing to stay with the Spurs last season because I also hoped to win a championship with a strong team.
He also played hard enough.
Unfortunately, the Spurs encountered the Mavericks, who were rarely hardened, and stopped in the first round of the playoffs.
Finley's annual salary last season was close to 2200 million.
Speaking of which, over the years, Finley's total salary has exceeded US$1 million.
This season he only joined the Bobcats with an annual salary of 125 million. Everyone knows what he is here to do.
The last one is naturally the Bobcats' strongest point guard.
No one expected that this year's No. 482 pick would be Russell Westbrook, with an annual salary of million.
No one could understand how the Bobcats could use the No. 1 pick to select another point guard.
And going round and round.
Although Derrick Rose was not the No. 1 pick, he still went to Chicago.
Generally speaking, no matter how optimistic you are, it is impossible to select another point guard with the No. 1 pick.
After all, Zhou Yao, who is currently the number one player in the league and the number one point guard, is on the Bobcats.
Moreover, as the team's general manager and head coach, Zhou Yao participated in the Bobcats' entire draft.
By the way, that shameless guy also offered himself a high salary of 2520 million yuan.
Although, be it the fans, other players, or the management of each team.
Everyone thinks this contract is not outrageous.
But the question is, how can he give himself such a salary.
Only, I found out after doing the math.
The Bobcats' total salary this season is actually only 6228 million.
There is no need to consider being punished for not reaching the poor line.
But in reality, there are 30 teams in the league.
Only the Grizzlies, who sent Pau Gasol to the Lakers, have a lower total salary than the Bobcats.
By the way, Gasol still went to the Lakers.
So what does each team's efforts last summer count?
Although they did not get Chris Paul, the Lakers are still the strongest contender for this year's championship.
Many people are saying that the Grizzlies will spare no effort to help the Lakers defend their title this time.
If the Lakers successfully defend their title, the Grizzlies management will definitely be the biggest contributor.
……
It's getting closer and closer to the start of the season.
As usual, Zhou Yao will not play in the preseason.
He didn't even appear on the bench in the preseason as a head coach.
The Bobcats did welcome a new assistant coach.
Tyronn Lue just retired.
By the way, Lu has played in the league for exactly 10 seasons.
He won four championships with the Lakers, three championships with the Bobcats, and two championships with the Wizards.
Achieved 9 consecutive championships for one person.
Achieving such an achievement makes Steve Kerr, who is also an assistant coach of the Bobcats, express real envy...
