When Li Ke returned to the United States, it was already mid-September.
Two months have passed since the lively July transfer period, and Li Ke can still hear news reports about the Big Three Cavaliers everywhere.
"Danny Ferry made a big deal and finally achieved success. LeBrondwyn Wade Chris Bosh, the three superstars in 2003, will be the finale of the NBA next season."
"The finale? You mean, will Sheldon stand up and defeat the Big Three again?"
"I know what you are talking about, yes, the three Celtics were once considered invincible, but they eventually lost to the Bobcats led by Sheldon. The three Cavaliers are definitely different..."
This is the espn program of Stephen A. Smith. The beauty Yuskip Bayles advocates that the three big knights are invincible, and the beauty Yang Yang has different opinions.
Finally, the beauty completed the final victory in the theory of age: "When the Celtics were grouped, kg was 31 years old, Ray Allen was 32 years old, Truth was 30 years old, while the Cavaliers, LeBron and Chris Bosh were only 26 years old, and Dwayne Wade was 28 years old. Compared with the Celtics, which had already entered a period of decline at that time, the Cavaliers were not even at its peak!"
Generally speaking, people think that the peak of an athlete should be between the ages of 28 and 32, so the theoretical peak of the three Cavaliers has not yet reached, which is terrifying to think about it.
On the other hand, the open-air stands describes in detail the process of the Cavaliers signing the three giants, and the overall lineup after obtaining the three giants-
"With a bunch of second-round draft picks, I sent away Antoine Jamison, Richard Hamilton and Mo Williams, who had a larger contract, and Deronti West, Jamario Moon and others who had expired, after a life-threatening operation, the Cavaliers still had a contract, and only Anderson Valejo, 4.02 million Daniel Gibson, 2.86 million Anthony Parker, and 1.53 million JJ Hickson..."
"The total amount of cap space occupied $15.69 million, and the Cavaliers received $42.31 million in cap space."
"Immediately afterwards, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh signed a contract for six years with a starting salary of $14.5 million, and two years in advance, and joined the Cavaliers. In order to retain the bird rights, they all joined by signing first and then exchange. For this reason, the Cavaliers gave two first-round exchange rights and another first-round exchange rights in the next four years."
"After that, Danny Ferry used another future second round to switch from the Warriors to Earl Watson."
"Then there will be a series of signing operations, including veterans such as Big Z, Juwan Howard, Eddie House, Jerry Starkhouse, Eric Danpier, etc., all joined the Cavaliers with a basic salary, and Deronti West returned with a contract that was slightly higher than the basic salary."
"In the end, LeBron James renewed the Cavaliers on the hat with a contract that also had a starting salary of $14.5 million!"
The Cavaliers' 14-man lineup is as follows-
Point Guards: Deronti West, Earl Waterson, Daniel Gibson, Eddie House
Scoring guards: Dwayne Wade, Anthony Parker,
Small forward: LeBron James, Jerry Starkhouse
Power forward: Chris Bosh, JJ Hickson, Juwan Howard
Center: Anderson Valejo, Big Z, Eric Danpier
Li Ke, who was staying in Luocheng, bought an open-air stand. When he saw Danny Ferry's specific operation process, he found a blind spot.
If it weren't for the sudden interruption by Lao Qiao, the Knight would have had the chance to keep Xiao Mo.
After all, there is enough salary space.
But after thinking about it again, Li Ke felt that even if the salary space was enough, Danny Ferry would give up on Xiao Mo.
The contract is too high and the years are too long. For the Knights who need to bear three super-large contracts, keeping Xiao Mo means that they will have to pay huge luxury taxes in the next few years.
Not to mention that Dan Gilbert was not that rich at this time, even if he was really rich, the money was not spent like this.
The salary status of the Cavaliers is the most reasonable. According to statistics, it exceeds the luxury tax line by more than one million US dollars. Even if you add the 15th person who has not yet filled it, it will only have a luxury tax of two million.
The intensity of this tax payment is still within the scope of Dan Gilbert's tolerance.
After thinking about it carefully from the perspective of salary space, Li Ke analyzed it for a while from the perspective of the lineup itself.
There should be no problem with the three positions of the Big Three. Valaijo is not a big problem with the center position.
Only point guard position, although Dronti West and Earl Watson's double insurance.
Li Ke believes that when the Cavaliers use it in the end, they may have to use Eddie House or Daniel Gibson, who are positioned as the substitute, to play the starting lineup.
The problem with the point guard is too big, and secondly, it is the problem of substitutes.
There is no problem with the substitute in the point guard position, and there is no problem with the shooting guard with Anthony Parker.
The small forward position is Jerry Starkhouse, who averaged 8.1 points per game in the last season, seems perfect, but he is actually in a downward period, which is really useless.
Power forward position, JJ Hickson is too young, and Zhu Wan Howard is too old.
As for the center position, whether it is Big Z or Danpier, their strength has declined to the point where it will be difficult to play as a substitute next season.
"So, this lineup is useless except for the Big Three and Valaijo!"
This is somewhat similar to the Heat in his previous life, but considering that the Heat in his previous life had powerful players such as Mike Miller, Mario Chamos, Haslem, James Jones, etc., the role players under the Cavaliers' Big Three are still a little worse.
"Danny Ferry's operating ability is far behind Pat Riley."
Li Ke originally wanted to stop Lebang from staying in the Knight, but now he even thinks that Lebang's staying in the Knight is a good news for others.
Finally, it is the Cavaliers' head coach.
McBrown was dismissed after the playoffs.
After forming the three giants, whoever will find the favorite position of the Cavaliers as the head coach becomes the biggest suspense.
After the transfer operation was completed, the Cavaliers quickly confirmed the acquisition of the old coach Larry Brown.
"It's Larry Brown?"
Li Ke was also surprised that the Cavaliers actually chose Larry Brown as the new coach.
What he didn't know was that Danny Ferry, who was in charge of the coaching job, was also a little confused.
The starting point of the Big Three is so high that there are not many coaches on the market who deserve this status.
Choose from coaches such as Byron Scott, Larry Brown, Mike Woodson, etc., and he thinks the most suitable one is Larry Brown.
When Li Ke saw Larry Brown's name appear, the first thing he thought of was the future Knight's internal strife.
During the Cavaliers' defensive round, Lebang was walking, and Larry Brown spread his hands and scolded him angrily.
After a pause, Lebang hit the old coach with shoulders and announced an indefinite quit due to a thigh injury after the game.
A few days later, the Cavaliers announced that the old coach was dismissed and Lebang made a comeback...
...
Big Three Larry Brown, the Cavaliers have sucked away all the attention this summer.
The Miami Heat on the South Coast are around this Big Three.
The Heat are the team that suffered the biggest losses during this transfer period. Not to mention Wade's departure, they also sent Beasley away for the slim Big Three.
Finally, Pat Riley could only look at the only staying Feiton and told Eric Spoelstra: We are going to start rebuilding!
The Knicks are another team that failed in competition, but they still gained something. The addition of Amaresta Tadameier at least gave the Knicks a rising trend.
And the Nets, from the very beginning, the Nets were the ones who hoped for the smallest.
The final failure just brought them back to reality.
Although the boss repeatedly asked the team to make big signings, it was hard for the clever wife to be a cook without rice. He could only hold on for the time being and wait for an opportunity.
...
Turn your eyes away from the Big Three. The other powerful players in the league did not give up the following season because of the top three. The arms race is still in progress.
First of all, the defending champion Lakers, in addition to leaving their original core lineup, they took action in the free market, signed Steve Blake, and added a point guard position.
By the way, Kobe also announced in an interview with the reporter: "With me here, LeBron doesn't want to win the championship!"
emmm, I have to say, very tough!
Next was the top Magic of the Eastern Conference regular season. After a failed season, Otis Smith chose to send Rashad Lewis away in exchange for Gilbert Arenas.
This transaction, which is considered a junk contract swap, is regarded as a hope for a comeback by the Magic management. They still believe that Arenas, who has not played much in three seasons, can return to the top.
In addition, they also sent Jamal Nelson away, exchanged old player Courtney Lee from the Nets, and signed James Posey, who was cut by the Pacers.
The last two operations made Li Ke feel very targeted.
Finally, there is a change of coaches, Stan Van Gundy was dismissed, and the one who took over... Sam Vincent!
This operation is what Li Ke doesn't understand the most. Sam Vincent? Is this guy actually re-employed?
He felt that Otis Smith was playing with fire, but at the same time, he also felt the full targeting, and it became even more targeted.
The Magic was followed by the Nuggets. The Galaxy Battleship ended in the season-long defeat. Mark Walkendean resigned. After the new general manager Marseille Ujri took office, he did not make any big moves.
The vast majority of the main force were left behind, and only the old shark and the Tianzun were let go, which seemed to be inconvincible.
In fact, after letting the old shark and the Tianzun go, the Nuggets are already on the road of taking one step at a time.
If the performance in the new season is not good, Melon, Arte and Billu may be sent away, and the Nuggets will start rebuilding.
From this, it can also be judged that the Nuggets have basically withdrawn from the championship ranks in the new season.
After the Nuggets, the Mavericks, Spurs, Trail Blazers and Thunder did not make much move, and the Suns and Jazz let go of the main inside core.
Among them, the Jazz let Boozer go and signed Al Jefferson, plus Millsap, and they did not lose much strength. They are still full of confidence in the new season.
After that, when you return to the east, it will be the Celtics' turn.
Danny Angie was still insisting that he chose to return to the original time of the Big Three. He first chose McBrown, who had just been dismissed from the Cavaliers, and then signed in with the Tianzun and the Old Shark with basic salary one after another.
The last deal, sent Nate Robinson away and got Lagabele from the Warriors.
When he saw Lagabel, Li Ke felt the target again.
After the Celtic series of operations, someone asked An Ji: If I had known the present, why would I have been there?
After skipping a bunch of teams, only the Bulls and Hornets were worth noting.
On the Bulls, Tom Siberdu took the new position, and the uniform team also signed first and then exchanged to exchange Carlos Boozer.
Then he continued to fetch the Jazz's wool, a two-year $9.5 million contract, and signed Ronnie Brewer, another wing defender.
In addition to the original Ross, Ruldun and Noah, the rise of the Bulls is also quite obvious.
There is also the Hornets. After Byron Scott was dismissed from get out of class in the season, they chose to let General Manager Jeff Ball play the coach, and took the whole season to select coaches in the new season. They finally chose Mike D'Anthony.
There is nothing to say about transfer operations, mainly D'Antoni.
It seems that there is no "qualified" point guard available in the Celtics, which makes him learn from his mistakes and finally chooses the Hornets and becomes his next home.
...
Li Ke, who returned to the American mainland, looked at this league, there should be so many popular championships in the new season, or top teams-
The Mavericks who stock up on a bunch of veterans formed the Cavaliers of the Big Three, and the Bulls who are about to sweep the league with chain defense, the Thunder with obvious progress, the hidden hard bones of the Grizzlies, the Old Spurs, and Phil Jackson's Lakers in their last season.
Finally, plus the Bobcats who were short of major generals at the beginning of the new season...
In short, in the new season, there will be three top teams in the East. With the Magic close to the top, the Hawks and the Celtics, the East is no longer weak in the new season.
It's just a knight of the Big Three, which has a meaning of being one, one, one, and one, one, and one, one, and one, one, and one, one, and one, and one, and one, and one, and one, and one, are the ones who have the most powerful ones.
In the Western Conference, chaos should be the main tone. The youth army's Thunder and the Trail Blazers are rising, the old-fashioned strong team Spurs, the Mavericks are getting stronger, and although the Grizzlies are lukewarm, they are terrible in the playoffs.
Coupled with the Lakers and Hornets, as well as the Nuggets and Jazz who may disintegrate, the West will still be a big battle in the new season.
Therefore, in terms of the overall situation, the alliance should still be strong in the west and weak in the east.
...
Li Ke passed by Luocheng and did not return to Charlotte directly, but walked by the studio of Twentieth Century Fox.
Xiao Du was filming the movie "Same Showdown". Although Li Ke also had an investment share, he didn't care.
Because even if he sells it, he can only get more than 100,000 US dollars, and there is really nothing to pay attention to.
But when Li Ke arrived in Los Angeles, the system prompted that Xiao Du's friendliness was full...
This made Li Ke ask why the friendship that had not been full before and even fell has increased now?
After leaving after Li Ke, he realized that the heroine in the same match was Scarlett Johansson whom Xiao Du asked...
A heroine with few scenes, Scarlett, who has not yet played Iron Man, took it off casually.
