Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

All the reinforcements for next season were completed in one week, and the Knicks' operation stunned everyone, two assistant coaches, one player, just... it's over? !

This is no less than if you went to a five-star hotel and ordered two plates of shredded potatoes, oh, and a bowl of rice.

It's not that the shredded potato rice bowl is not delicious, but it's too far from the expectations of the fans. This is the summer of 2010 when there are too many 'big fish'. Stars, make ruthless, in fact, Kobe and the Lakers only have a one-year contract!

If you dig one or two, it will change the whole league structure directly. Even if you don’t recruit James and Wade, you can hire one or two second-rate stars like Boozer!

Don't we New York Knicks have money?

Such a sense of gap has caused many media to question their souls: "When did the New York Knicks become so stubborn?"

Is this still the Knicks who had a lot of stupid money in the past few years, waving banknotes everywhere to raise prices and taking advantage of it!

You must know that the league salary cap this season is about $54 million. Yes, yes, this is the number in this era. From the perspective of more than ten years later, it is almost a matter of the last century, but this is the real thing at this time. Salary cap standard.

In the 09-10 season, the league's highest salary was McGrady, his annual salary reached 23.24 million US dollars, Duncan's annual salary of 22.18 million US dollars, O'Neal's annual salary of 20 million US dollars, and Nowitzki's annual salary of 19.8 million US dollars. They're the biggest stars in the league, and they're also the most expensive.

In this era, the league's maximum salary is probably around 20 million per year, and there are only a handful of contracts worth 100 million yuan.

"First Evolution"

but!

These stars, these salaries, and the Knicks have nothing to do with half a dime!

In the third year of Zuo Li's rookie, he had a 3+1 contract that year, and he could get a contract of 4 million in the third year. Among the rookies, Zuo Li was a well-deserved boss, but this salary, his performance, and all the honors. Compared to identity, that's a fart.

The outside world is quite critical of this, and many people say that Zuo Li should receive a salary of at least 30 million.

However, there is no way, this is the rule, and Zuo Li can still only take it this way.

And New York's highest salary next season is Randolph's 12 million. Although David Lee just renewed his contract last season, this season is the last year of his old contract. He will get about 6.5 million this year. The contract, the amount is 'up to' 5 million, Dragic 1.4 million, Anderson 1.5 million, Belinelli 2 million, Ewing Jr. 500,000...

As for Curry, Danny Green, and Beverley, the three who just got rid of their rookie status will not be mentioned. The total is 2 million, of which 1.5 million is Curry's...

No way, most of them are still rookies!

Add it all up, and that's not yet 36 million...

Oh, forget Shane Battier, who just came, last season with 6.86 million in the Rockets, this season's high, 7.3 million...

The Knicks all add up, and the salary has just reached 40 million...

In other words, this summer, the Knicks can come up with 13 million salary space, and this number is enough to sign a league super giant!

This is also the reason why the outside world is looking forward to the Knicks in the summer. There is no way. This space is simply too large. Except for the Nets, no team in the entire league can match the Knicks.

So this is also the reason why the Knicks won the championship and let so many league managers break their defenses. Damn, we paid so much luxury tax and spent so much money, and in the end we couldn't beat the Knicks who didn't spend much money!

There is no reason!

However, this is the reality, which is not enviable.

So in the summer, the Knicks once had scandals with many free-agent stars, and there were even rumors that James would join forces with Zuoli. In short, people believed that the Knicks would have a big game in the summer.

The result... 7 days, one player, the Knicks did it all.

"The Knicks are really too confident." ESPN made such an evaluation on the 8th program, but they must also admit that the Knicks have the qualifications for self-confidence, who made them the defending champion.

Moreover, it seems reasonable to do so. After all, as a champion, preserving the integrity and stability of the lineup is the most important thing. Blind splits can easily have the opposite effect.

So after the Knicks announced the news, the outside world could only accept the fact that the Knicks were done.

In this regard, Dolan, who saw the news, could only spread his hands, and the buddies were also ready to fight, but there was no way. Zuo Li said that enough is enough, so it must be enough!

In this regard, Zuo Li said that the current lineup is really great, and any transactions are superfluous.

Center: Zuo Li, Anderson, Ewing Jr.

Power forwards: Randolph, David Lee.

Small forwards: Shane Battier, Danny Green.

Shooting guards: Belinelli, Crawford.

Point guards: Curry, Dragic, Beverley.

There are still three places, and the Knicks will transfer a few people from the second line, but basically rely on these 12 people to play the country, and these 12 people are already strong enough.

With the addition of assistant coaches, what the Knicks have to do now is to continue to optimize tactics and at the same time, let the rookies grow further.

This is the real future.

After the deal was done, Zuo Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. His task had been completed, and now, it was the turn of others to come on stage.

"Hey, Olson, let's set off tonight. You don't need to bring too much clothes, just go and buy them."

"Huh? Why are you so anxious?"

"Of course, it's because we have to stay away from this place of right and wrong before the storm comes~!"

…

On the evening of July 8, Zuo Li and Ao Mei, who were all relaxed, set off for Hawaii together with 12 people accompanying them. Their summer started from vacation.

And while they were still on the plane, the storm that had been brewing for months finally hit!

"From Cleveland's darling to America's supervillain, sometimes it just takes a decision."

9, the day when myths are broken.

On the morning of July 9, it was a day later than Zuo Li remembered, but that was not important. What was important was that when Cleveland fans turned on the TV as usual, they wanted to search for the news that the team renewed the contract with the leading star LeBron James. At that time, they saw the scene they least wanted to see.

On ESPN's "The De", James appeared in a suit and sat on the bench. James announced a decision that shocked the world. He himself would leave the Cavaliers and bring his talent to the South Coast.

"It was a very difficult decision, and I decided to bring my talent to the South Coast and join the Heat."

"I have the best chance of winning here, not in the regular season, but in the championship. We're going to be a real, good team."

…

Most of the audience sitting in front of the TV was stunned, and the audience sitting at the scene was also stunned. There was no applause, only surprised whispers and people gasping for breath. James is going to Miami to create a super team, and he just announced it to the world in a very bad way.

James + Wade?

The world is really crazy!

However, this is just the beginning of the madness, because just two hours later, Meng Long also announced that the star Bosh left the team, and at the same time, Bosh announced that he also chose to join the Heat!

The Big Three, and the three star players at their peak announced salary cuts at the same time... Miami, it's really getting hot!
