The Rest, Only Noise

When he learned that he was traded, Parker had a sense of sight as a bolt from the blue. He thought he would play many years with the Celtics, and if he was lucky, he might retire here. As a result, he was traded just after the championship celebration. Also, his next stop looks like a pretty **** place—Charlotte. Parker never thought he would be traded.

He feels that he is the only pure point guard for the Celtics, and even if he doesn't play well in the playoffs, it is only temporary.

When Lu Wuxia became dominant as the No. 1 position, Parker really felt that his position was a bit unstable, but soon, this idea was dismissed.

Because Lu Wuxia is obviously a player who wants to develop in all directions, he will not weld himself to the No. 1 position.

Parker, who is about to usher in the contract year, did not expect that the management would not give him a chance to prove himself again, and directly made a deal.

There were no rumors or signs before the transaction happened, and he had no preparations. Parker called Lu Wuxia immediately.

He wanted to know if this had anything to do with Lu Wuxia.

Lu Wuxia said he didn't know.

Parker didn't believe it. Before he left, he accepted an interview with the media and said eccentrically: "If I have a father who is the boss, it will be a very simple matter to find opportunities to remove all the thorns that hinder my performance."

Parker settled the matter.

Lu Wuxia used his father's boss power to trade him to Bobcats.

The public opinion of the whole thing has so far led in the most unfavorable direction for the Celtics. No matter how Lu Wuxia defended herself, she couldn't win the trust of others. For some who don't like him, this is an opportunity to attack him.

The Boston area did not have any negative impact because of Parker's parting words, because the Celtics just won the championship, even if this deal is a bit of a disappointment, everyone can accept it. After all, Lu Wuxia has already demonstrated his ability to play the main game.

The biggest impact of this incident was to plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of Lu Wuxia's teammates.

If Bird took extra care of him, or if there were any changes in the team, it would make people wonder.

Although there are many hidden dangers, this is a deal Louis has to make.

Keeping Parker, there will be conflicts between him and Wuxia next season, and if Parker is traded at that time, the intention to favor his family will be even more obvious.

Instead of keeping a thunder that is destined to explode, it is better to light it in advance, so as not to be passive in the future.

Moreover, it's time for Wuxia to face the dangers of people's hearts. Louis believes that there will be many wonderful stories in the next season.

In mid-July, the Celtics' management encountered a difficult situation.

Since they selected three players in the draft, the team's roster suddenly expanded to 16 people.

Then, Argentinian Carlos Delfino, who was drafted a few years ago, also decided to test the NBA waters.

Now, the roster expanded to 17 people.

In order to solve this problem, Louis pushed for the implementation of a new rule at the nba summit: the rule is called Bill 114. If a team has more than 15 players on its roster, it is considered a trigger bill. 19-man roster. After the start of the season, all teams that trigger the bill cannot sign free agents until the end of the season.

Filling out the roster ahead of preseason training camp can be tough for some teams, but it's too easy for Louie, whose team is off nearly every season. Make a big list early. It can be said that this is a rule that is beneficial to Louis.

Although the Celtics have many players on their roster, today's NBA already has a mature development league.

Jose Calderon, Eisen Ilyasova, and David Lee, who were just selected, can be sent to the Development League in turn during the season to fight monsters and upgrade. Including Carlos Delfino, he can also go to the Development League, and then make personnel adjustments at any time according to the status and performance of several players.

The lineup is extremely young, and the Celtics, who have all the main lineup to win the championship, have no plans to go to war in the offseason.

Therefore, to solve the problem of a full roster, the Celtics' management began a real off-season.

Although there were no major events during the offseason, there were still many changes within the Celtics operations department.

Some old employees are preparing to retire, some executives have been poached, and the Celtics basketball operations department with as many as 244 people has less than 200 people left.

As the boss, Louis was very concerned. He glanced at the team's existing employee list and found a problem - an imbalance in the ratio of men to women.

Female employees account for less than 10% of the operating department.

Therefore, Louis formulated a detailed recruitment plan. Starting this summer, he will increase the proportion of female employees in the operation department. This year's goal is to increase this proportion to 20% to 30%. The long-term goal is to increase the commission to 50%. Then, in order to reflect the inclusiveness and multiculturalism of the team, it is also necessary to leave a share for some sexual minorities.

Louis didn't do this because he made too much money and people became bewildered, but because he considered that if he "unfortunately" gets a window period without black teams in the future, there will inevitably be public opinion condemning the Celtics.

Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to put aside your stomach to prove that you have eaten a few bowls of noodles. When dealing with magic, you can only use magic to defeat magic.

This is to prepare for a rainy day in the future.

Of course, many people in the team were puzzled by this, such as Ewing. With the launch of Louie’s employee structure diversification plan, many highly educated women began to occupy important positions in the operation department, and there was even a self-proclaimed transgender homosexual The freak became the head of the marketing department, and every meeting made his scalp tingle.

"I really don't know why you want these people?" Ewing often complained to Louis. Louis asked back, "Is there a problem with their working ability?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, but..."

"But what? Patrick, when did you become so conservative? Be tolerant, our Celtics are the most open and tolerant professional sports team in history." It is true to say so, but Ewing really didn't know why. Which professional sports teams need to arrange so many women in the operation department and... Forget it, he won't talk about it, anyway, they usually don't have many business contacts, and it is Louis who needs to have meetings with them all day long. Louis himself didn't have any opinion, what did he have to say?

The Celtics ushered in the off-season without any waves, and the nba's annual arms race also began.

The biggest player in the free market this summer is Kevin Garnett.

The Lakers sent Prince away, kept Artest, and exchanged for the second pick to choose Chris Paul, which has shown their determination to build a team around Kobe.

Still, they offered Garnett a six-year, $110 million extension.

However, Garnett simply rejected the Lakers: "You can only choose one." The Lakers can only say: "Good luck."

Garnett, who entered the free market, did not overturn the clouds and rain, because there are not many teams he is interested in.

He must also have strength, space, and meet his needs as a true core. It seems that there are only a few teams to choose from.

Garnett spent a week negotiating with the teams, putting on the airs of the league's first man.

According to the grapevine, Garnett condescendingly demanded that any team that wanted to sign him come up with a plan to build around him.

Some teams are eliminated without preparation.

Although many fans don't know why he hangs up like this, but he just hangs up, and those teams still enjoy it like shaking m.

"Has anyone reminded KG that he is the only one in Generation M who doesn't have an mvp?"

"I advise all teams that have expectations for kg to lower their expectations. He has never led a team independently to prove himself."

Garnett's choice proved one thing, he never thought about leading the team with a single core. Who is single-core leading the team these days?

Are there not many brothers around you who are willing to compete for the championship?

What Garnett wants is a Kobe who won't compete with him for the boss - no one knows when Kobe fought him for the boss (benj said it was a shame) - this is a bit difficult, but it is not impossible to find.

veteran of the phoenix suns

Shi Hardaway would very much like to be this guy. Pence is 34 years old this year. During the Warriors period, he has been a regular visitor for a while. It can be said that he has maintained a top-five level in the league all year round, but he has been dragged down by the team and has never been able to go further. Now that he is old, if he can win Garnett for the team by being willing to act as a deputy, he will not hesitate to lower his posture.

Garnett is very satisfied with the sun, here is everything he wants.

Therefore, after simple negotiations, the two parties reached an oral agreement of 90 million US dollars in 6 years.

That's the only downside. Garnett is a free agent and doesn't have bird rights, so he can't make more money, but he's mentally prepared for it. The Suns signed the only superstar in the free market, adding a strong team that is expected to compete for the Western Conference almost instantly.

Garnett's next move is certain, and Ray Allen has become the biggest name in the free market. Both the Lakers and the Heat have actively pursued him.

As far as Junzi Lei himself is concerned, he doesn't like Kobe.

Duncan is obviously a more trustworthy boss.

The problem here goes back to the personal friendship between Gentleman Ray and Garnett. They knew each other as early as high school, and Garnett left a very good impression on the former, but Kobe could actually fall out with him? The Lakers have a problem.

Poor Kobe was presumed guilty when he did nothing.

Ray Allen turned to the Heat. This decision instantly made this top team that has been in the championship for five consecutive years become the favorite for the new season.

The Spurs where Duncan was in the previous life were often troubled by insufficient flanking and peripheral firepower. Now, standing beside the old Deng are Arenas, Stephen Jackson, Ray Allen, and Liu Yuqing.

Once the Heat are turned on, the firepower of these few people can blow up any team~www.readwn.com~The only thing that can stop the Heat may be the plantar fasciitis that is plaguing Duncan. The Lakers who missed Ray Allen chose to find a big brother in the same city to stop the bleeding.

The Clippers now have a big burden -- Rasheed Wallace.

Next year is the contract year of Roaring Tianzun. He wants a big contract of 100 million US dollars in 6 years. The Clippers don't want to give such a long and big contract to a psychopath who scored 41 tons in a single season.

Moreover, the Clippers' potential insiders can almost make up a table of mahjong, and keeping the roaring Tianzun can only lead to bad young people. The Lakers are interested, and the Clippers packed people next door very decisively.

The specific transaction is as follows: The Lakers sent Antoine Walker and Shandon Anderson, and exchanged for Rasheed Wallace from the Clippers.

The Clippers got rid of the technical offender king and bad example, the Lakers got rid of Walker and strengthened the inside line, and both sides have a bright future.

This summer, the nba's arms race is far more intense than expected.

The Lakers have undergone tremendous changes, but after some operations, they still have a trident like Kobe, Paul, and Rasheed. After the Heat won Ray Allen, their offensive firepower overflowed, and the Suns who got Garnett also became a team. A force that cannot be ignored. After the core personnel are determined, it is to supplement the role players around the lineup, and all parties will inevitably wrestle.

The free market is in full swing, but the defending champion Boston Celtics are quiet.

Except for a little commotion after they traded Parker, there is no more news.
