Chapter 164 Joining the Big Game!

On December 12, the free agent market officially opened, and the league made its first franchise.

The Phoenix Suns signed free agent Shannon Brown with a one-year $350 million contract. During the Lakers period, Shannon Brown used extremely explosive bounces and beautiful dunks to become a regular gangster on the bench , He also made a big name in the league.

On this day, there were no too hot signings, and the second signing after that was the signing of the Pistons and Prince Prince. The latter is 31 years old. It is possible to die in the Motown.

At this time, Tang Wenlong and his teammates have been training together in Philadelphia for a week, and with the help of the assistant coach, the two rookies are gradually getting familiar with the 76ers' regular tactics.

This is a complicated and long process. Leaving aside the tactics of the general public in the NBA, the 76ers’ own tactical system has many unique styles, such as helping core player Tang Wenlong to contain and corner ambush to attract, etc. .

"Tang Wenlong's improvement on the defensive end is too obvious." Assistant coach Bob excitedly took out a week's training data sheet and said to head coach Collins.

Collins took the list, glanced at it, nodded, and there was an uncontrollable smile on his face, "This kid has really improved a lot in the summer. In fact, last season was coming to an end, that is, in the playoffs, the defensive end already had NBA players." The average level, but now it seems that he also has great potential on the defensive end, and attitude is everything."

"I heard that I trained with Carmelo Anthony in the summer. This guy can always make unexpected moves, and the offensive end is obviously more comfortable and comprehensive." Bob said with a smile.

"We have great hopes for the new season. If we can sign that player, we can definitely wrestle with the Heat or the Bulls." Collins is ambitious and full of confidence.

"That player..." Bob naturally knew who the coach was talking about, and followed Collins' gaze, looking into the distance
The next day, the second day after the opening of the free market, the league's transactions and signings gradually became more frequent.

For example, McGrady, who is concerned by Chinese fans, joined the Atlanta Hawks with a one-year veteran's basic salary contract. It is embarrassing. He is recognized as the most talented player in history.

Secondly, the Thunder of the Western Youth Army renewed the contract of the former three-point leader Cook. The hero of the Western Conference Finals last season was retained for 650 million in two years. The Bucks signed Mike Dunleavy, and the Los Angeles Clippers signed Caron Butler for 3 million in 2400 years. , It is said that Butler will serve as the Clippers' starting small forward in the new season, and Oden, the sadly injured champion, made his own choice and renewed his contract with the Blazers for one year, with an annual salary of 890 million.

The free market continues to heat up, the contract has just been renewed here, and new teammates have been introduced there.

The Eastern Conference champions, the Heat, made a big move. They signed Battier as a free agent with a three-year contract price of 3 million yuan, and then Lightning finalized the signing of Eddie Curry to strengthen the team's inside line.

Shortly thereafter, Sports Illustrated reporter Amick broke the news on his Weibo, claiming that the New York Knicks had offered last season's championship center Tyson Chandler a four-year, $4 million contract. Just wait for the inside super defender to nod.

The fans in Philadelphia can't sit still. Why do teams all over the world have news, but our own team seems to have forgotten it. It's fine if we don't go to the free market to catch big fish. There are no players whose contracts expire It means to renew the contract.

What the hell?

Stefanski himself is going crazy, the Rockets offered a 4-year contract of 5500 million yuan, and his side offered a 4-year contract of 5700 million yuan. Logically, he has surpassed the Rockets. He should be a sure winner, but he is a Grizzlies manager. The "old friend" in the office told him that the Grizzlies are very determined to keep Gasol Jr. and are very likely to match the 76ers' offer, even though this price has exceeded the current market value of Gasol Jr.

Chandler was infinitely close to signing with the Knicks. Among the three insiders who were most eager to get reinforcements, there was only one option left. Stefanski took a deep breath and his mind was very confused.

"Tang Wenlong is eager to win the championship. If there is no reinforcement and determination, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep him in a few years, and the boss's intention is also obvious..."

Stefanski called his secretary, "Help me check how much salary space the Grizzlies have left."

It didn't take long for Stefanski's desk to receive a data sheet. The salary price of everyone in the Grizzlies is on this paper. It is clear that there is only 5804 million salary space from the salary cap of 300 million U.S. dollars , but Gasol played for the Grizzlies for three years, in line with Bird's terms.

Stefanski scratched his messy hair. How much should be an official quotation?

The current situation is obvious. Gasol will not definitely stay in the Grizzlies, but the psychological price of the Grizzlies is unclear. If it is only a little higher than the psychological price of the Grizzlies, then the Grizzlies will definitely match. More, the Grizzlies luxury tax plus the loss is relatively large, so they will not match.

The advantage of the 76ers over the Rockets is that the 76ers still have a lot of space from the salary cap. The Rockets' upper limit is only 4 million in 5500 years, and the 76ers can be higher.

12月11日，魔术和扣篮王理查德森达成口头协议，双方将签订4年2500万美元的合同。几乎是同一时间，快船宣布匹配金州勇士给德安德鲁-乔丹开出的4年4000万美元的报价合同。

Then in the battle for Chandler, the Knicks got the center at a high price, and the Mavericks gave away the team's hero. No one could understand what medicine was sold in Cuban's gourd.

Dalembert suddenly announced on Weibo that he had decided to sign a contract with the Houston Rockets. This center, who has maintained a very good state, got a four-year 4 million contract.And he said on Weibo that he didn't get an offer from the 3000ers after the end of the season, and maybe the 76ers no longer need him.

The fans in Philadelphia, all the fans who called Stefanski to get out of class came out overnight, some left messages on the official website, some directly called the 76ers office, and some even went directly to the Wachovia Center. Those who came to the hall were outraged, and it was hard to agree.

It shocked Tang Wenlong and others who were in closed training camp.

"What's the matter? This guy Stefanski gambled and lost his underwear?" Tang Wenlong and others thought maliciously.

The outside world was full of quarrels. Not long after, Thaddeus Young also announced that he had reached a contract extension agreement with the Nets, worth 5 million yuan in five years!

Another main player leaves first, are the 76ers going to be bad this season?
The fans are very angry, and even many experts who are optimistic about the 76ers are very puzzled. They don't understand how the 76ers gave up their two main players.

Just when there was a lot of commotion and everyone was attacking the 76ers uniform team.

The 76ers officially announced that they have reached a contract with Grizzlies center Marc Gasol. The total contract price is 4 million US dollars in 6500 years, and the Grizzlies decided not to match.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was in an uproar...
