Chapter 601 2009 NBA Free Agency Market(3/3)

After renewing Kobe's contract, the Clippers then renewed Odom with a four-year, 33 million contract.

This contract renewal can be said to be quite cheap.

Because no matter how you look at it, Odom's market is also at the level of tens of millions.

However, for Odom himself, his half season with the Cavaliers made his net worth plummet. If the Lakers hadn't saved him, he would have probably gone for the basic salary.

So it is understandable that he is willing to reduce his salary and renew his contract.

At this point, the Clippers have basically retained the winning roster from last season.

Although the Wizards have increased Boozer's strength and increased significantly, it still needs to be adjusted, and McGrady's condition is hard to say.

Considering these factors, the Clippers will still be the strongest team in the new season.

After two days, the free agent market is indeed a bit exciting.

However, at this start, the free market this year is destined not to be too quiet.

On the third day, big fish began to swim into the new lotus pond one after another.

First of all, there is Boston.

The Wizards, the biggest competitor, have been strengthened, so they naturally cannot be content with others.

They spent two years to fully middle class, and a contract worth about 11 million yuan signed "Roaring Heavenly Lord" Rashid Wallace.

Although Wallace is 34 years old, he was able to contribute 12+7 data with the Pistons last season.

This will definitely be a big reinforcement for the Celtics.

Let’s talk about the Pistons. After letting Wallace go, they turned around and signed Ben Gordon with a five-year, 58 million contract.

Gordon was at the 2004 Tanhua Show. He played for two years with the Grizzlies before moving to the Bobcats.

His performance declined in the year of the contract, resulting in poor market conditions. He chose to sign a one-year quotation contract with Bobcats.

Although the Bobcats did not make it to the playoffs last season, he averaged 20.7 points per game and was the number one scorer.

His internal and external combination with Gerald Wallace once gave the Bobcats hope for revival.

But in the end, Gordon became a complete free agent and then pursued his dream of winning.

Another potential information about the Pistons' signing is that they are likely to allow Anthony to gain weight next season and play as a power forward.

And, that's not all.

Just as the free market was in progress, the league had a wave of big deals involving four teams.

Moreover, this involves several heavy inside players in the league in the past.

The four parties in the trade are the Nuggets, Mavericks, Suns and Knicks.

The Nuggets sent out Camby and Martin, a future first-round draft pick, and got Ben Wallace and Tyrant;

The Mavericks gave out Big Ben and Toutou and got O'Neal;

The Suns sent O'Neal and a second round, and got Camby and the trade special case;

The Knicks gave out a special deal, getting Martin and a first-round draft pick from the Nuggets and a second-round draft pick from the Suns!

All parties will get the needs of this transaction.

First of all, Da Ben and O'Neal, both of whom did not meet the team's expectations last season.

This is a typical attempt to "treat the tree and move people to live".

Moreover, the two have only one year left in the big contract, so the risk factor brought by this operation is relatively small.

Let’s talk about the team that got these two.

The Mavericks have everything, but they just have a little bit of a meaning.

They obviously expect O'Neal to be that meaning.

Although O'Neal is 37 years old and is at the end of his career, the so-called lean camel is bigger than a horse, after all, a big shark.

Don't talk about this too much. Even the combination of Nowitzkiga O'Neal two years ago would make the league tremble.

After this transaction, they also successfully renewed Kidd with a three-year, 25 million contract.

This will keep them competitive in the first tier of the league.

Then the Nuggets.

The Nuggets' two inside players, Martin and Camby, give people the feeling that the ceiling is too low.

Especially Martin, the contract is almost as big as a big bank, but his performance is worse than the big bank.

The key is that this contract also puts the team in a lot of salary pressure.

This time, the Nuggets' operations were pretty good.

Moreover, the salary pressure was released at once, and what they had to do next was to strengthen the power forward position.

Now, among the fish in the free market, Marion has become a hot commodity.

It is expected that the Nuggets and the Heat will pursue it fiercely.

Let’s talk about the remaining Suns and Knicks.

O'Neal has been proven to be inappropriate, and it is a great attempt to change someone at this time.

Camby can be said to be the most suitable candidate because he is playing defensive counterattack in the Nuggets itself.

This is in line with the Suns' style of playing.

Moreover, his contract is actually only one year left, and the risk is not high.

Let’s talk about the Knicks. Although Martin’s big contract is still two years away, the team is rebuilding around Harden and Beasley.

Rebuilding will definitely take time. Eat a big contract to support the salary space and cross the poor line, and get some draft picks.

Compared with the management's suffocation operation in the past few years, this four-party transaction can be shortlisted for the "team's best trading operation in the past decade".

When the free market is about to end, the Eastern Wizards, Pistons, Celtics, Western Clippers, Mavericks, and Suns will all strengthen to varying degrees.

Next season will still be a season with many powerful men.
