Chapter 658 The new pattern of the alliance(2/2)
This is not the most critical. The most critical thing is that even if they renew Chandler and cannot renew their contract, their strength will still decline compared to last season, and naturally they will still not be able to beat the Warriors.
But now that Sun Hao left, Cuban's mind changed suddenly.
Simple math question: The Mavericks fought the Warriors with Sun Hao in the playoffs last season, and asked them how much winning rate they had with the Warriors without Sun?
The answer is definitely more than 50%!
Sun Hao is the most serious player in the league!
Before, Howard was put on the shelves and they paid attention to him as soon as possible, but unfortunately they didn’t have the right bargaining chips.
Now they have started their daily plan B.
They and Chandler reached a five-year, 70 million contract extension.
This contract has some incentive clauses, such as how many sessions to attend, and Chandler can only get the full 70 million if he reaches it.
But this can be considered a huge contract.
You should know that according to the salary cap, this is already a contract with a maximum salary. A defensive blue-collar worker who gets such a contract is enough to show his own ability.
After signing Chandler, the Mavericks are still very active in the free market, actively contacting Kirilenko, wanting to use the signing first and then exchange to convince this all-round forward to join.
As time passes, the reinforcement of other powerful men has also begun.
The Knicks ended up making no big deals, but they signed center Dalem Porter from Haiti with Mini Middle.
This wave is also expected.
Although they were swept last season, the Warriors became weaker, and they have been running into the season for a long time, and their chances of winning the championship in the new season are very high.
After the Knicks, the Warriors in the focus also made their choice.
They renewed Oden with a four-year, 44 million contract.
The salary of this contract is lower than many people expected.
Because many people expect Oden to get a maximum salary contract.
And the most surprising thing is that there are no contracts that other teams offer larger offers.
But everything must have a reason.
Although Oden has excellent physical talent, his experience in both statistics and performance in the Warriors in the past four years has been so meaningful.
Then there is the most worrying injury problem.
Oden missed many games last season, especially in the finals, and his length and legs were exposed.
The Warriors have already handled it so carefully that they cannot completely avoid it, so other teams will naturally worry.
So the Warriors have picked up a wave.
However, after renewing Oden, it would be difficult for Landry and the others to keep it.
The Kings signed the "Divine Bird" with a four-year and 40 million contract.
After four years of "Sixth Man" career with the Warriors, Landry will finally have a starting opportunity in his career.
And the plot that happened last year happened again, the Warriors cut Thomas Jr. in order to sign veteran Mike Bibby.
This made the Lakers get a bargain, and they took Thomas Jr. with a three-year unsecured contract.
This is not because Sun Hao gave advice, or because the Lakers management opened their eyes.
Instead, Jeremy Lin had the success story last season, and the Lakers' back line still lacked people this season, so they signed and tried it out.
So when Sun Hao saw this news, he was stunned for a long time.
Even he couldn't help but be so beautiful, he felt that he had brought the Lakers a halo of luck.
As the timeline reaches this point, most teams have already made almost the reinforcement.
Other more attention-grabbing is that the Hornets signed the Mavericks' intentional Kirirenko, forming the trident lineup of Deron, Kirirenko and West, temporarily comforting Deron Williams, who was already dissatisfied.
Then, just as the free market was about to end, the matter of Howard was finally settled.
In the end, the Magic team reached not a three-party deal, but a wave of four-party deals!
In addition to the expected Clippers and Magic, the remaining two are the 76ers and the Mavericks!
The specific transaction plan is:
The Clippers: Send Andrew Bynum, Odom, the second round of 2014 and the first round of 2016, and get: Howard and Louis Williams.
Magic: Send Howard, Louis Williams, get: Boubova, Marion, Hackles, Vucevic, 2012 first round pick (Mavericks), 2014 first round pick (Mavericks), 2014 second round pick (Clippers), 2015 first round pick (76ers), 2016 first round swap power (Mavericks), 2016 first round pick (Clippers).
76ers sent out: Iguodala, Hackles, Vucevic and the 2015 first round pick, got: Bynum.
The Mavericks sent Bubova, Marion and Diop, the first round pick in 2012 and the first round pick in 2014, and the first round pick in 2016 exchanged power, and got: Iguodala and Odom.
The final deal reached in this wave was somewhat unexpected, and the Magic did not directly ask Bynum, which also means that they have announced that they have entered a reconstruction.
This is understandable. With Lewis' big contract, and Arenas also began to suffer injuries, even if Howard stayed, they would not have a great chance of defeating the Knicks and the Bulls.
Now that Howard is replaced by Bynum, it is definitely not possible.
So they simply turned on the reconstruction mode in exchange for a bunch of young players and draft picks, and then they slowly dealt with the contract between Arenas and Lewis.
The Clippers and the 76ers both got their own needs in this wave of transactions.
The Mavericks are the ones who really got the big holes.
They exchanged for the sixth man Odom of the past with a not-so-large price, and Iguodala in his year of fighting!
This is not the "Iguodala" in the eyes of Yu!
In history, Iguodala left the 76ers to go to the Nuggets in the summer of 2012, and directly led the Nuggets to break the best record in team history.
He has offensive and defense, and has excellent organizational skills.
The best second-in-command is not a false reputation.
And you have to know that what the Mavericks lack now, or what Nowitzki lacks is this kind of helper!
Kidd, Terry, Iguodala, Nowitzki, Chandler.
The Mavericks' strength in the new season is only stronger than last year!
Warriors, Grizzlies, Lakers, Spurs, Hornets, Mavericks...
Chapter completed!
