The first to take action were the Portland Trail Blazers.

He has a certain grudge against Wang Xiao, and because of this he became the biggest beneficiary of the 2007 draft.

This time Jordan was put on the free market, and the Blazers took action without hesitation.

64 million in four years, no bird rights, no Curry clause, this is the largest contract that the Trail Blazers can provide within standard rules.

To be honest, the salary space of the Trail Blazers is not healthy. Roy's contract will be as high as 16 million until the 2011-12 season. Last season, the Trail Blazers just renewed Durant's contract with 85 million for 5 years. Durant's salary in the new season

It will also reach 15.5 million U.S. dollars, and the other one of the Trail Blazers' third young player, LaMarcus Aldridge, completed the contract extension agreement in October 2009 and signed a 5-year contract worth 65 million U.S. dollars.

It is also as high as US$12 million in 2011.

The total salary of the Trail Blazers' three young players has reached 43.5 million U.S. dollars, and combined with the contracts of other role players, it has reached the salary cap limit.

If they sign Jordan with a maximum salary, the Trail Blazers will undoubtedly trigger the luxury tax.

But Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen doesn't care about the luxury tax.

At the beginning of the 20th century, he spent a lot of money trying to get the Trail Blazers to win the championship trophy, but he failed.

The players who spent huge sums of money to sign were all a bunch of bastards, and the entire Blazers were in a state of chaos. At that time, the Blazers were even known as the Blazers Prison.

Later, Paul Allen, who couldn't bear it anymore, learned from the pain and ordered the team management to trade all the troublemakers such as Damon Stoudemire, Rasheed Wallace and Zach Randolph, and then centered around Bran.

Den Roy, as the core of the team, slowly recovered.

Now, although Roy's career was almost ruined due to meniscus removal surgery, relying on Durant and Aldridge, the Trail Blazers last season still maintained a strong competitiveness.

However, although Durant and Aldridge are both big men, they are not good at physical combat inside. The Blazers have always had problems inside, and Jordan's ability to protect the frame and rebound is exactly what they have.

needs.

While Paul Allen was willing to pay a huge luxury tax to win over DeAndre Jordan, he couldn't help but think that both Durant and DeAndre Jordan were the players selected by the Chinese people that he kicked out a few years ago... This

This feeling is very bad, especially when I see the Wizards thriving and even reaching the Finals last season.

But no matter what, 64 million real money was actually placed in front of Jordan.

When he fell all the way to the second round in the draft, Jordan probably never thought that he would still get a maximum salary offer in his rookie contract year.

But this is just the beginning.

Following closely behind the Trail Blazers, Rockets general manager Morey, who always loves to be lively and does not take things too seriously, also offered Jordan a maximum salary contract.

Dayao chose to retire in the summer, and the Rockets have lost their backbone inside. Although it is difficult for Jordan to take Dayao's position with his ability, it is better than nothing, right? The Rockets currently have ample salary space.

You don't have to worry about paying the luxury tax if you sign DeAndre Jordan.

In addition, there is also the Los Angeles Clippers, DeAndre Jordan's old club.

There is nothing more heartbreaking than learning to cherish something after losing it.

In order to get Griffin's No. 1 pick, the Clippers fell into Wang Xiao's scheme and gave away DeAndre Jordan as if he were a bonus. However, when DeAndre Jordan became more valuable to the Wizards, they began to regret it.

They offered Jordan a four-year, $58 million contract, which was not a maximum salary. There was no other way because the Clippers' current salary space was limited and the team owner was unwilling to pay a high luxury tax.

In November, just after the lockout ended, a very sensational thing happened in the league. The Lakers, Hornets and Magic almost reached a three-way deal. The Lakers almost got Paul and Howard to form the Big Three after the Celtics.

After the Big Three and the Knicks' Big Three, the league's fourth super Big Three.

However, since the Hornets have no owner and the team is managed by the league, as the league president, Stern stopped the Hornets transaction, causing this big three-party deal to eventually fall through.

He then led the Hornets to trade Paul to the Clippers, where he teamed up with Griffin to form the Lob City.

However, it is obvious that it is difficult for the Clippers to go further with just Paul and Griffin, so the team still needs reinforcements, and defensive heroes like DeAndre Jordan are obviously the best choice.

The Trail Blazers, Rockets and Clippers have become the main teams competing for DeAndre Jordan. However, as DeAndre Jordan's current team, the Washington Wizards have always been calm and have no intention of attacking at all.

"The Wizards really want to give up on DeAndre Jordan?"

"Bad choice. Without DeAndre Jordan, will the Wizards still have defense?"

"Next season, the Wizards' interior will become a stage for all centers to perform..."

No one understands why the Wizards let go of Jordan so easily. Is Wang Xiao such a short-sighted person?

After letting Harden, Green and DeAndre Jordan go one after another, can the Wizards continue to occupy a place among the powerful players in the Eastern Conference?

…

Two days later, the battle for Jordan finally came to an end.

After much consideration, Jordan finally decided to join the Portland Trail Blazers.

Compared to the Clippers, which also has two All-Star players, the Trail Blazers gave him nearly 6 million more contracts, which is not a small number.

Compared with the Rockets, who have given the same maximum salary contract, the Trail Blazers undoubtedly have the potential to win the championship.

With Durant, Aldridge, and DeAndre Jordan, even if Roy cannot come back, this team will still be extremely competitive in the Western Conference.

Even compared to the Clippers, the Trail Blazers are obviously more capable.

The combination of Paul + Griffin is at best the same as Durant + Aldridge. The Clippers have no other players that can be used except these two people, but the Trail Blazers except Durant and Aldridge,

There is also experienced veteran Andre Miller. He played 81 games for the Trail Blazers last season, averaging 12.7 points and 7 assists per game.

In addition, last season, in order to fill the shooting guard vacancy after Roy was injured, the Trail Blazers traded Jazz rookie player Wesley Matthews. The latter performed very well as a shooting guard. Not only did he have outstanding

On the defensive end, he also averaged nearly 14 points per game for the team.

Now that Jordan has joined the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers' starting lineup has become Andre Miller, Wesley Matthews, Kevin Durant, LaMarcus and DeAndre Jordan.

It can be considered a top team.

Just when the Trail Blazers were in high spirits and rejoicing after acquiring DeAndre Jordan, the Wizards, who had lost their main center, released such news on their official website.
