The Godfather of Basketball

The draft is over, and the Thunder are waiting for the free agency market.

This year's free agent market is not quiet at all.

The Lakers "Warcraft" Howard and the Cavaliers Chris Paul have both expired. They are undoubtedly the two biggest players in the free agent market.

In addition, the Bucks 'Millsap, the Jazz's Al Jefferson, the Nuggets' Iguodala, the Spurs 'Ginobili, and the Pacers' David West , Jr Smith of the Knicks, Jack of the Warriors, etc., are all fairly marketable players.

These Thunder teams are powerless to deal with. Their target is those players who do not have much market but still have a certain market competitiveness.

Tang Tian and Jones listed some possible signing targets before the door of the free market opened.

Korver played for the Hawks last season, Bellinelli of the Bulls, Oj Mayo and Anthony Morrow of the Mavericks, Cory Brewer of the Nuggets, Nick Young of the 76ers, Randy Foye and Mo Williams of the Jazz.

After completing the draft, the Thunder are now lacking in forward swingers.

After taking away Jones, Tang Tian went on to pick up the roster.

Last summer, the team signed two big contracts in a row, and this season's salary space is a bit explosive.

Point guards: Westbrook, Barria, Ismail Smith

Shooting guards: Harden, Bezmore

Small forwards: Durant, Middleton

Power forwards: Tucker, Collison

Centers: Ibaka, Brown, O'Quinn

In this list, the salary of the four young people alone is 5.6 million, and the contract of the role player is 7.1 million.

The salary cap for the new season is estimated at 5.68 million and the luxury tax is 7.17 million.

Tang Tian's lineup for the team is basically every penny spent on the blade, but because of this, it will be very difficult for them to strengthen in the summer. Although the goals are outlined, those are not All are willing to accept low wages.

The time came to July 1st, the free agent market of the new season officially opened its doors at zero.

Just as soon as the door opened, many transactions were concluded immediately.

Paul and the Cavaliers reached a five-year, $ 170 million maximum salary renewal contract, which is also the largest contract he can get.

David West and the Pacers reached a three-year, $ 360,000 contract extension.

Kevin Martin and the Rockets reached a three-year, 3ooo million contract extension, of which the third year is a team option.

Ginobili and the Spurs have reached a two-year 10 million renewal contract. The total amount of this contract is extremely low. Ginobili has done an incredible job to give the team more room to strengthen in the summer. Great sacrifice.

...

The signing news that broke out the first time was basically the news that the team was determined to stay.

Those who really test the free agent market will continue to negotiate with each team in the coming days.

For example, Howard, after Paul chose to renew his contract, as the biggest player in the free market, he listed out a meeting list, and will only determine the next home after negotiating with each team.

The Thunder also made contact with the targets on the list 6 consecutive times after the free market opened.

The Thunder's reinforcements should not be too big, but Tang Tian is still curious about the free agent market.

In the previous life, Harden went to the Rockets and attracted Howard to join. Now Harden is still in the Thunder, Howard should be unlikely to join.

The free agent market continues.

It was then that the Union introduced two new policies.

One is related to the fmvp selection. In the new rules, fmvp will no longer be determined by only 11 media. Their voting results will account for 5% of the vote, and the remaining 5o% will be based on the fans' voting results. Redemption of votes.

In addition, after further discussions between employers and employees, a new clause similar to the "Rose Clause" will be added to the new agreement to add players who have performed well in the rookie season.

The timing of this move was also nicknamed the "Thunder clause" by many fans in order to prevent the emergence of Thunder-like teams.

There can be a stable salary space, the core players are still very young, and other teams are really difficult to play.

Tang Tian did not care, anyway, it is not a problem for the Thunder to maintain this lineup for four or five years. As for the matter after four or five years, it is still early.

Korver, Bellinelli, Mayo, and Nick Young have rejected the Thunder's invitation. They are at their peak, and the Thunder's offer details cannot meet their requirements.

Both Randy Foye and Mo Williams are still considering.

However, one person has gone deep into negotiations with the Thunder.

Last season, the Hawks used Anthony Morrow to trade with the Thunder, but they were unsuccessful. After that, they traded Morrow to the Mavericks. After playing for half a season with the Mavericks, the statistics were bleak, and the free market was very poor. Back to the former coach, it is normal to approach the Thunder.

Following this momentum, the Thunder can sign on the free market, most likely Morrow.

Regardless of Morrow, the Thunder now has a big threat at the core of the lineup. What is needed is a three-pointer. Middleton did this job last season.

Negotiations between the two sides continued, and soon, Tang Tian met the former disciple in the office.

What the two sides reached was a two-year contract of 4oo million, the second year of the team option.

Although the Rockets Moro was very good under Tang Tian's transformation at the beginning, but in the past few years, he has wandered outside, and I don't know how much strength there is. It is obviously more powerful for the Thunder. For Morrow, the Thunder The team was able to issue a contract with a base salary, and he was already satisfied.

After completing the signing, the Thunder officially announced the news.

Coincidentally, Howard also announced his final decision shortly after the Thunder signed the news.

He will sign a contract with the Rockets that is close to 8.8 million in 4 years, and has a player option renewal contract in the fourth year. This contract also includes a 15% trading margin.

This decision froze Tang Tian's eyes, but soon, he seemed relieved.

One advantage of Houston compared to Los Angeles is that it has less taxes ~ www.readwn.com ~ Although the Lakers can earn a year's maximum salary, they can get a lot less salary in four years.

And last season, the Lakers had a poor record, and the team also had constant contradictions. Howard was dissatisfied with Kobe's right to shoot. This returned to Houston, which is also a big city or the team leader. Naturally beautiful.

And one more thing, the Rockets have always had a big man tradition, from Hayes to Sampson, and then from Olajuwon to Yao Ming, Howard is expected to continue this tradition.

Howard's subsequent tweets confirmed this.

"The Rockets have a great big man gene. They will really help me improve my stadium strength. This is an important reason to attract me to Houston. I am the kind of person who needs someone to push to the maximum potential, so I chose Join the Rockets. "
