571. How about me? (6000 words(1/2)
On July 31, 2003, the last day of the first month of the offseason arrived.
Two days ago, the Pistons officially announced that Nash and Rashid Wallace two all-stars joined hands. This matter must have been a sensation in previous years, but this year, it is just a news that can be read in full.
Fans feel that this month is going through particularly fast. Every day, there are transactions, signing contracts, at least rumors, and the rumors are becoming more and more outrageous, causing heated discussion or ridicule.
There is no way. In this year's free market, reporters dare not make up rumors, but it just happened!
For example, the Timberwolves don’t want O’Neal and Webber.
This made the Timberwolves owner furious and prepared to fire Kevin McHale.
This is a little too much. If you get O'Neal, you can at least make it to the playoffs and sell tickets.
Weber, who had already seen a significant decline last season, could see that when Garnett applied for a deal and was about to come to the contract year, the Lakers gave O'Neal as bargaining chips. In this case, McHale refused O'Neal to choose chips like Weber, Bibby, and Tkoglu...
O'Neal's current trading value is no better than the original time and space use of Caron Butler, Odom, Brian Grant, and an unprotected first-round pick in 2004. Such chips are at least not bad in 2004. Caron Butler has just played for two years, a talented rookie, Odom, averaged 17.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in 2004. Brian Grant is also an inside player who is averaging 12+9 levels in the game for many years.
Now the Heat used the No. 1 pick as the core 4 for 1 for O'Neal, which is also considered a profit.
McHale made a choice that was not conducive to the Timberwolves purely because of his former Celtics player.
If Garnett exchanges for O'Neal and Rick Fox, it will be easier to trade later.
The Timberwolves triggered a wave of public opinion.
Today, the Pistons sent out the 2004 Lotto protection draft pick, Jerry Starkhouse, who got the 11th pick in the second round of the Spurs this year from the Spurs.
The Spurs used massive cap space to eat up Starkhouse.
David Robinson retired in a new stage as four eras, including the Bulls Dynasty, the Great Dream Age, the XO Age, the God and Buddha Age...
Arenas and Richard Jefferson are both still on rookie contracts and are now rich. They first poached Brent Barry from the Supersonics for 29 million in five years, and then took over Starkhouse for the Pistons' 2004 draft pick.
For the Pistons, Starkhouse is a salary barrier that prevents them from signing Nash and Rashid Wallace and needs to be sent away.
For the Spurs, Starkhouse's average annual salary of US$7 million was quite expensive in 1998, but now it is very cheap, and the contract expires in the last year. If it is easy to use, it will be kept. If it is not easy to use, it will be done to strengthen and strive to go further. Try to try any possibility.
After paying a first-round pick and getting the signing rights of this year's second-round pick Derek Zeckman, he did not pay the penalty of 300,000 euros, but allowed Derek Zeckman to continue playing in Europe, and the Pistons freed up room for $7 million.
That wasn't enough, the Pistons could only endure the pain of sending Elden Campbell, an experienced defensive player, to the Magic, in exchange for a 2004 second-round draft pick.
Elden Campbell has two years and a contract worth $8.48 million, and will have a salary of $4 million next season. It is cheap and easy to use and has rich experience. The Pistons traded it back in the draft to grow with two inside talents, Stodmeier and Bosh.
But now, we can only give it to the Magic, and the Magic Campbell brings Kwame Brown.
The Magic also hired former Supersonics tactical assistant Randy Whitman as the head coach, and former Hawks defensive coach Mike Woodson as the assistant coach...
The Pistons combined their second round pick in 2004 with the Magic's second round pick in 2004 to meet the requirements of the Bucks. The Bucks used their space to force Billups to earn a salary of $5 million next season.
After a series of operations, the Pistons finally freed up the space!
The Pistons signed Nash with a starting salary of 8.33 million US dollars, a total of 66 million US dollars in six years, a total of 9.16 million US dollars, and a total of 72 million US dollars in six years, poaching the Trail Blazers' dual cores in the past seven years!

Zhang Hao wrote down the Pistons' list...
Looking at Nash who was excited to chat with others, Zhang Hao thought of the expression when Nash was selected many years ago when he watched the talent show... Now it is just a little social, but his appearance is still there.
On August 1st, a new day has arrived.
Nash left Los Angeles on the 25th and came back yesterday. Today he continued to train with Zhang Hao.
Even longer ago, after chatting with Nash on July 15 about the impact of the new rules, Zhang Hao knew that Nash was contacting various teams everywhere and communicating with the management and coaching teams of each team that intends to sign his team.
With a clear direction, it still took more than ten days to find a team that was willing to fight with him.
Nash was very excited early this morning. Pierce, James, Caron Butler, and Ray Allen also came today to congratulate Nash and Rashid Wallace, who found their new owner and signed a long-term contract.
As a player, having a big contract means stability and a decision for the rest of his life.
And for two players who are almost 30 years old, Nash and Rashid Wallace, a long contract with an average annual average of more than 10 million US dollars, as Nowitzki said, it will never be used for normal use in three lifetimes.
This is the first time Pierce brings his new younger brother Caron Butler to Zhang Hao. He introduced him and met him.
Actually, I've seen it twice in the competition.
Caron Butler, the 2002 rookie, the one who lost the most fiercely against Yao Ming for the best rookie in the month, was even more tragic than Stadmeier.
On Zhang Hao's side, in addition to Nash and Rashid Wallace, Hu Weidong and Arroyo were also trained together today.
Puerto Rico won the third place in the Pan American Basketball Championship on July 22 and received a ticket to the Athens Olympics next year.
Zhang Hao had a faint feeling that this mountain in Puerto Rico will do great things next year.
After a group of people exchanged greetings, they surrounded Zhang Hao and looked at the existing lineup of the Pistons written by Zhang Hao. The group of people felt that the Pistons had been a bit too much to pick up the cheaper ones!
Yes, the Pistons paid a lot of money to send Billups, Campbell and Starkhouse away, losing a lot.
But these reversals are ultimately equivalent to two ‘transactions’.
First, he used Billups who averaged 14 points and 5.5 assists per game last season, Campbell who averaged 7 points, 6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, and a second round pick to exchange for Nash who averaged 19 points and 7 assists per game last season, and 180 Club.
Fortunately, at least Billups began to get rid of the title of "Swift" when he was 27 or 28 years old. He had shown outstanding singles and excellent rhythm control skills last season. Campbell is also a big center that major teams like.
Another one is too much.
The Pistons are equivalent to using Starkhouse, who has lost contributions, to exchange for top inside Rashid Wallace!
The sensation was actually not as sensational as Rashid Wallace, a group of scraps and salary space in the original time and space used to trade Rashid Wallace from the Hawks.
But this is still a big profit!
Nash looked at the list of his own teams and asked in a bad tone: "Aix, what are you doing?"
"I want to deal with you next season! You and Rashid play the run and fight, and with two sports inside players Stodmeier or Bosh... it's a bit difficult to deal with. You have to find a way earlier and analyze whether I can beat your entire team inside player alone."
“…”
Nash always doesn’t know how to respond to Zhang Hao, so he really won’t cover it up! My buddy is in front of you!
But this feels good - Zhang Hao attaches importance to his team.
At this time, James raised a constructive question: "Billups and Campbell are all good players, giving other teams space, and the Pistons even gave draft picks... Why don't the Trail Blazers eat these chips by themselves?
Then you can have bird rights, sign larger contracts with a 12% salary increase, with a lower starting salary.
The Trail Blazers can also trade these high-quality chips or keep them for their own use…”
This entry point is very good, and a group of people are looking at Nash.
Nash really wanted to kick Rashid Wallace, it would be fine if others stared at him, but this teammate who was abandoned with him was also staring at him, showing inquiring eyes, making fun of yarn!
Nash was helplessly prepared to explain his miserable experience this summer. James, who had just finished asking, continued: "It's a bit uncomprehensible, but not every NBA management is very smart or makes the most advantageous operations. For example, the Timberwolves, if it weren't for their general manager McHale, I might not be able to come here, and there wouldn't be such a great teammate and cannot join such a great team. If the Trail Blazers have other ideas, Steve and Rashid may not be able to go to the Pistons. I feel that the Pistons have become very good because of your joining."
Nash felt relieved when he said this!
Pierce and Ray Allen are also very comfortable!
And the Nets are just better off the outside line. Rashid and I discussed it. Now the capable inside line is a scarce product. Outside pitchers can be found, but the inside line is not easy to find."
Nash was just angry with Rashid Wallace's second-hand temperament, and there was nothing to say about this.
Those who listen can feel from their tone that what Nash and Rashid Wallace care more about is what the new team general manager is.
Good man...
This adjective is very important when rejecting or accepting.
Zhang Hao heard the answer... 'I didn't expect to guess correctly. Joe Dumas is indeed an old man, an alternative to the bad boys' army. He has done good things for several years and has no excellent operations, so he really brought the Pistons to the rise! People are still very important...'
...
Rashid Wallace and Nash signed the Pistons naked, which caused not much discussion among the fans. The most popular public opinion about this matter is the bandit leader who is in the Auburn Mountain Palace, and the era of the Pistons Godfather has arrived!
Not many people care whether the Pistons have become stronger, but whether Nash is doing better.
But just like Zhang Hao, James, Pierce and others care about the Pistons and the analysis of the Pistons is clear, each team cares very much.
When James and Pierce talked about the strength of the Pistons, they had a clear idea because they heard that Nash and Rashid Wallace changed teams a few days ago, and the two have already begun to pay attention to the Pistons' lineup. The two have discussed it in the past two or three days.
A few days later, and there are some signings and transactions. The most popular one is Pippen, who was bought out by the Rockets, is preparing to return to the Bulls to retire and sign a 10-day short-term contract.
This makes many veterans who want to compete for the championship but cannot get it!
They cut their heads and drilled towards those teams who competed for the championship, but there were only a few teams who competed for the championship, and there were so many veterans who wanted to hold their thighs every year... Pippen, a guy wearing four championship rings, actually took a trap!
Although this pit will be freed up at the beginning of the new season, it will happen a few months later. There are so many variables. Who can know what will happen in the future?
On August 10, the six-week filming ended, and the final banquet was completed.
A movie was made one or two years later. For Zhang Hao, it was an amateur flavoring agent, and his family and team also supported him. For example, Howard Schultz played the role of the old manager of a coffee shop in the movie this time, spending money to participate and hard implant.
To be continued...
