This Forward is Not Serious

6. Mavericks

The biggest move the Mavericks did in the summer was to cut Artest (partially guaranteed in the final year of the contract) and use the free space to sign Monta Ellis on a two-year, $16 million deal , while signing back veteran Devin Harris.

These are good operations from the point of view of the lineup, but the departure of Kidd, as well as the growth of Yao Ming and Nowitzki, the overall strength of the Mavericks is declining.

For Cuban, the expiration of Nowitzki's contract next summer may be a good opportunity.

Projected starters: Devin Harris, Monta Ellis, Courtney Lee, Nowitzki, Yao Ming

Projected rotation: Barea, Wayne Ellington, Carter, Brandon Wright, Chris Kaman

7. Indiana Pacers

The best news for them is that Danny Granger will be back again this season, and they also signed Elton Brand from the Nets on a one-year, $4 million deal.

The stability of the lineup is by no means a bad thing for a rising team.

Projected starters: George Hill, Lance Stephenson, Paul George, West, Hibbert

Expected rotation: cj Watson, Granger, Mahinmi, Brand

8. The Celts

Stan Van Gundy may not be the best head coach, but it's also questionable whether Stevens can transfer his Ncaa success to the NBA.

And the worse news is that Pierce and Garnett are another year older.

Expected starting lineup: Rondo, Bradley, Pierce, Garnett, Howard

Projected rotation: Jerry Bayless, Jordan Crawford, Delfino, Jared Sullinger, Kelly Olynyk

9. Bulls

The Bulls still have a lot of strength, but the key is whether Rose can stay healthy.

Expected starters: Rose, Kirk Hinrich, Deng, Boozer, Noah

Projected rotation: dj Augustin, Mike Dunleavy, Ty Gibson

10. Knights

The Cavaliers have clearly improved on paper, but youth is their biggest weakness, including their head coach Kidd.

A young coach, facing a team with huge changes in the lineup, will be one of the best teams in the East after the run-in is good, the run-in is not good...

Projected starters: Irving, Harden, Josh Smith, Tristan Thompson, Hawes

Projected rotation: Dellavedova, CJ Miles, Alonzo Key, Varejao, Tyler Zeller

Eleven, Warriors

The Warriors' summer signings attracted attention, and in addition to those high-profile signings, they actually made a small trade with the Mavericks.

They sent Bazemore and a future second-round pick in a trade for Draymond Green from the Mavericks.

The Mavericks already have Wright, Green has little chance, but the Warriors need to find a backup for David Lee.

Projected starters: Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, David Lee, Zaza Pachulia

Projected rotation: Jack, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, Speights

…

One thing is clear from ESPN's list: Superteams are hard to exist forever.

After too much salary is concentrated on the core players, once the core players have problems, the team's performance will become very unstable.

This problem can be said of status, injury, and even age.

The dominance of the Lakers and Mavericks in the West is clearly declining, and the Knicks and Nets are actually about to suffer the penalties of contract years and super luxury tax.

And more reasonable teams like the Thunder, Pacers, Warriors, and Cavaliers are on the rise.

However, the super team may not completely disappear. Perhaps one day in the future, these new troops will also welcome superstars to join.

That may be the real end of the era for the league.

However, that is something that will happen later.

Next season will still be a big fight. The New York Derby on the east side is still exciting. The entry of the Pacers and Cavaliers has also made the competition in the upper half more intense.

The new season of "Who Can Get Out of the West" on the west side is open again.

Lakers stocks, Thunder stocks, Spurs stocks, Mavericks stocks, Warriors stocks, buy and leave!

…

The Nets' opponent in the new season opener is the Thunder.

Last season, the Texas Twins failed to join forces in the finals, but Stern will not stop there.

In order to promote 23VS24 in history, the old man worked hard for several seasons.

Although, it didn't work out in the end.

But this season he will definitely work harder, because he will soon usher in his retirement season.

This is not something that was decided on the fly, but planned years ago.

Originally, Xiao Hua was the successor of this position, but following the previous recording incident, Xiao Hua went to the NFL, and his successor was vacant for a time.

Originally Tatum was the perfect replacement, but NBA owners didn't want someone of Chinese descent to take over the position.

However, with the vigorous development of the Chinese market in the past two years, especially the unparalleled economic benefits brought by Lin Ying, the bosses began to compromise.

In the 2014-2015 season, which is the beginning of the next season, Tatum will become the fifth president of the league.

This is obviously a good thing for the development of the NBA. A president who is familiar with Chinese culture and respects Chinese and even world culture will inherit Stern's ideas and continue to promote the NBA's global plan.

Of course, that's for next season as well.

A preview of the Texas Twins this season will kick off in the opening game.

As the defending champion, the Nets will also conduct the award ceremony of the championship ring and the raising of the championship flag in the opening game.

It's going to be a big day for Nets fans.

And according to reports, the Nets' single cost of this championship is as high as $1 million, which will refresh the NBA championship ring.

For a second-year rookie like Claude, a ring is more than his one-year salary after tax!

…

"Does it take that long to choose?"

Brooklyn's Riverside Villa, Swift looked at Lin Ying's back and forth, wanting to laugh and getting angry at the same time.

It's been almost half an hour, and Lin Ying is still picking out her evening clothes!

Obviously just participating in the championship ring ceremony!

Lin Ying had never been so attentive before on the Night of Champions.

"I wasn't sure if I won the championship that day, but I'll get the ring today."

Lin Ying seemed to have the ability to read minds, and said while holding the clothes in front of Swift.

Swift reached for her forehead.

"Why do you say that every piece of clothing is so good-looking? It's really difficult for people to choose, you can't look a little bit ugly."

But Lin Ying's next words amused her.

Forget it, she surrendered.

Think of it as a Victoria's Secret runway show.

…

The Barclays Center was extremely lively on this day, even more lively than the Night of Champions.

A historic moment in team history that everyone wants to witness with their own eyes.

And unlike the previous finals, in addition to the Brooklyn fans, there were also many New Jersey fans.

While the Nets are in Brooklyn now, the previous 25 years were in New Jersey.

How can New Jersey fans forget their home team, especially now that the Nets have won the championship.

No one asks the poor in the busy city, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains!

The arena also showed the human aspect at this time, and they specially designated an area for these fans to sit.

This wave kills two birds with one stone, which not only facilitates these people, but also allows New Jersey fans to continue to support the Nets.

An hour before the start of the game, the venue was already full.

Lin Ying came early, what he didn't expect was that JR came early too.

Can't say why, but since training camp in the summer, JR did feel very different from when he was in Denver.

The two chatted for a while before going to the arena to warm up.

Before reaching the player tunnel, I heard a lively scene outside.

By the time they appeared at the entrance of the player tunnel, there were already screams on both sides.

have not seen you for a long time!

Although winning the championship seems to be still yesterday, many of them have not seen Lin Ying for four months!

Do you know how they lived these four months? !

Lin Ying glanced at the scene, and there were basically no vacancies.

Powerful and perfect.

The two of them threw the basket for a while to warm up their bodies, and then felt the enthusiasm of the fans and then dunked a few more.

In the end, Lin Ying and Smith also played air picks.

Lin Yingchuan, JR picks up, 180, crotch, this is playing like a slam dunk contest!

However, this scene made some old fans come back.

At this time, Delong and the others also came to the stadium to warm up one after another, and Lin Ying sat on the sidelines to rest.

The security let a few fans who had been waiting for a long time come in to sign autographs, which is part of the perk of the arena.

When Lin Ying signed the autograph, he noticed that JR took the initiative to run the New Jersey fans' autograph, and threw all the fans he was warming up on.

Good guy, this is more enthusiastic than his "old Nets".

Do people really change?

After signing, they went back to the locker room to rest for a while.

When the ceremony was set up outside, a group of people groaned in the locker room for a while, and then rushed out shouting.

Everything has been arranged on the scene, and when they went out, they saw the championship ring flashing in the center of the arena under the spotlight.

The eager eyes of a group of people could not be hidden at all, and Claude was so "happy" that he couldn't walk, and collapsed directly in Butler's arms.

At this time, Lin Ying looked nervously towards the front row of the audience and stopped unconsciously.

Swift wore a tight black backless wrap skirt today, which only reached halfway up her thighs, revealing her smooth, slender thighs.jpg.

She stepped on a pair of colorful high-heeled shoes, like a princess in a fairy tale.

She had long earrings with red gemstones hanging from her ears, and her hands were on her knees.

Red lips, talking eyes, beautiful beyond words.

After all, it was Lin Ying's outfit that took more than an hour to choose!

Lin Ying was inexplicably nervous, and his palms seemed to be sweating.

It's more exciting than playing in the finals.

At this time, Delong bumped into Lin Ying.

"Lin, why do you feel more nervous than me?"

Delong touched his forehead and couldn't help but ask.

Swift also found Lin Ying at this time. Seeing Lin Ying's rare nervous appearance, he couldn't help but laugh.

The smile is like a flower, and the breeze is coming!

Lin Ying looked back at Delong, shook his head to indicate that it was okay, and then took a deep breath.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's keep our eyes on the center stage."

With the host's voice, the Nets championship ceremony is about to begin.

Both Stern and Tatum were there, as were Prokhorov and Sloan, including Phil Johnson.

A total of 24 luxury editions of the championship ring were built this time, with a total cost of nearly 25 million US dollars.

In addition to the 16 rings for the players, the remaining 8 are for the coaching staff and management.

In addition, the rest of the team's staff, as small as the security guard in the arena, will receive a simple ring worth about a thousand dollars.

This time Prokhorov really made a big deal.

After all, it is the first championship in the history of the Nets NBA team!

In the cheers of the fans, Stern delivered a speech, congratulating the Nets for their achievements last season and expecting them to defend their title successfully.

Immediately afterwards, Prokhorov began to award championship rings to the team.

The first to go up is the team president Walken Dean.

His status in the league must be on a par with Riley, and even less popular than the Rockets' general manager Mosaic.

But everything he's done, whether in Denver or Brooklyn, shows that he's a pragmatic executive.

Walkendian was followed by several other management teams, followed by the coaching staff.

Sloan is now a team advisor, but he received the ring as head coach.

The fans at the scene cheered the old coach again.

The moment when the trophy was lifted was an announcement that the regrets of Sloan's career were filled, and this championship ring is a testament to that.

Maybe one day, it will sleep in the ground with Sloan.

When the coaching staff's rings are also awarded, then it's the players' turn.

Lin Ying was the first to go up to receive the ring.

Lin Ying took a long breath and walked towards the center of the arena while chasing the light.

At this time, Swift looked at Lin Ying under the light.

Still so handsome and attractive.

But at this moment, there was a commotion at the scene, because they found that Lin Ying got two rings directly at one time.

At this moment, the spotlight on the scene suddenly went out, and then Lin Ying suddenly appeared on the large LED screen.

It was a VCR recorded earlier.

"On November 1, 2010, you announced loudly to the world at the Confession of Love concert that you like me. It takes a lot of courage for a girl."

VCR's first sentence directly detonated the Barclays Center.

Although it was just the beginning, almost everyone realized what Lin Ying was going to do after a stunned moment.

Including Swift, after a momentary loss of consciousness, her eyes turned red when she covered her mouth.

She seemed to finally understand why Lin Ying took so long to choose clothes for her.

"...Today, on such an occasion, I am speaking to you at the most glorious moment of my life."

The VCR stopped abruptly here, and the lights came back on, all hitting Lin Ying.

Lin Ying didn't know when, and quickly changed into a handsome suit.

He dragged the two flashing championship rings in his left hand and the microphone in his right. He walked in front of Swift amid the cheers of the fans, knelt down on one knee, and looked up at his beloved woman:

"Taylor, will you marry me?"
