McGrady was sent to the Wizards!

It was like a long flash of lightning flashing across the sky before a storm, and then a thunder blew up on the flat ground.

The fans in the forum really don’t have to sleep tonight!

"T-mac, Yao! The championship next season is from Washington!"

"It's so crazy. The two-time scoring champion plus the second center in the league. This is the new OK combination!"

"Don't ignore Richard Hamilton. With him here, you dare not double-team Yao or T-mac. It's scary to think about it!"

“McGrady, Ming, Richard, MMR combination!”

"Wesbrod is the stupidest general manager in the league! He created an unbeatable opponent for himself!"

"I really can't figure out why the Magic did that, just like I can't figure out that they couldn't keep Shaq and could not recruit TD!"

“As an Orlando fan, I say I’m used to it, our management always does the stupidest things at the most critical moments.”

"I think the Magic are not losing money either... Arenas has outstanding talent, Mobley is the right combat power, is the Magic hopeful for the playoffs next season?"

"Pilators, Pacers, Wizards, the highlights of the East will be greater than those of the West next season!"

"It's really the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!"

"McDy is now booked, where is Kobe?"

...

Not long after the announcement of this deal, it was July 1, and the door to the NBA free market officially opened.

However, the NBA has a rule called the "July Freeze Period".

The freezing period is due to the fact that the league needs to calculate the income and expenditure of last season to obtain the exact salary cap for the new season.

During the freezing period, players can reach oral agreements with the team, but cannot sign formally.

This freezing period has been changing, starting with a whole July, then shortened to 18 days, 17 days, 16 days, and then until 14 days.

This season is also the first time in the NBA's history that the freezing period is only 14 days.

For each team, this means that their time to deal with free agents is also the shortest ever.

However, after the free market gate opened, except for the players who were 100% sure to stay in the team, like Camby and Rashid Wallace, who reached a verbal agreement with the home team, everyone else was particularly quiet.

The reason is naturally because of the Lakers.

Before the Lakers handle their affairs, the league structure may change at any time, so they naturally have to choose their next home depending on the situation.

On this day, Cuban received a call from Little Bus.

On the phone, Buss talked about the possibility of a two-team deal.

Buss Jr.’s proposal was to exchange O’Neal for Sun Hao and Gala Frenz.

If Cuban needs it, the Lakers can make some more deals or second-round draft picks.

He did not go to Tnowitzki because he knew that Kuban loved Nowitzki, and raising it would only make Cuban disgusted with him.

But even so, Cuban quickly rejected Buss' proposal.

"Jim, I have no reason to use a player who just won the FMVP, a 22-year-old player, to exchange for a 32-year-old veteran, even if he is Shaq."

Kuban's words are very real.

Sun Hao is only 22 years old and has just fulfilled his rookie contract with the Mavericks. Even if he renews his maximum salary, his salary is even lower than Finley in the same team.

On the other hand, O'Neal is already 32 years old, but his contract next season is $27.7 million, which is directly worth the salary of two Sun Hao.

Of course, he didn't say the latter ones.

Little Bus, he was disappointed.

The advice West gave him is unreliable!

He could only think of his other way.

The deal with the Heat is an alternative.

Even if the whole money is broken, he hopes to get the one with the closest value.

But after a round, he discovered a very cruel reality.

Although O'Neal is still the No. 1 center in the league and performed very well last season.

But his age at 32 and his salary of 27.7 million have made many teams unwilling to come back at too much cost.

After all, O'Neal is inside.

The decline in the level of inside players after their age increases is far higher than that of outside players.

Even if he is an unprecedented shark.

It seems that sending O'Neal to the Heat is the only option.

After realizing this, Buss felt a little helpless.

To be honest, most of the things Kobe does now are very immature, plus the Eagle County incident and this time the palace coercion incident.

If there are any choices, the Lakers will not choose Kobe.

But the Lakers have no choice.

But in this way, I don’t know how much the Lakers will pay for Kobe to mature.

Perhaps the only relief is that Kobe is a superstar with a "perverted" level of effort.

As long as such a person does not have major injuries and does not say that he surpasses, he will definitely be able to chase Jordan.

This is also the only thing to talk about for comfort.

"Shake, I can only wish you a happy life in Miami!"

Although he was helpless, Buss could only say so in his heart.

This ending may be pretty good for both parties.

He called Kupchek to his estate.

Since it has been decided, it is to cut the mess quickly.

This is also what West taught him, and hesitation will cause many uncontrollable factors.

After explaining to Kupchek, he was also ready to report to his father.

The reason why he said this was because he knew that Old Bass liked Kobe very much.

His father will definitely be happy after hearing this result.

However, after picking up the phone, he hesitated for a moment and called West first.

"I didn't succeed, I'm going to send Shaq to Miami."

West is his mentor and friend, and he has made the final decision. It doesn’t matter if he talks to West about this at this time.

"Did Mark Cuban not be interested in Kobe?"

However, West's subsequent words made Little Bus silent for a long time.

He was a little bit unaware of West's meaning.

West was so smart that he realized from the reaction of Little Bus on the phone that the two might have had some misunderstandings before.

He may have overestimated Little Bus.

O'Neal, the Mavericks certainly wouldn't want it.

So what he said before was to ask Buss to try to exchange Kobe for Sun Hao.

"Bryant won't agree to go to Dallas, he doesn't have Dallas on his list."

After Bass reacted, he quickly said.

The reason why he didn't expect this possibility before was that, as he said, was that the probability of this possibility was too low.

Let’s not talk about whether Cuban is interested in Kobe.

Just the city of Dallas, Kobe, who is used to Los Angeles, is afraid he can't accept it.

Not to mention, Kuban's love for Nowitzki may not be the boss if Kobe goes there.

These points add up, Kobe is destined not to agree to go to Dallas.

You should know that Kobe is now a complete free agent, and his own opinions represent everything.

"Bryant will be willing to go, you just need to say this to him..."

After listening to West's words, Buss was stunned.

He suddenly realized that the things he was considering were vulnerable to West's words.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

West's perspective on the problem is completely different from his.

However, even if Kobe can be handled, it is only the first step.

What he really needs to do now is Cuban.

Although Sun Hao is also a free agent now, he is a restricted free agent.

Cuban refused to agree, even if Kobe wanted to go, it would be useless.

He went back to the living room and asked Kupchek to stop first, and then called Kuban.

No one answered.

He put his phone aside and waited for Cuban to call back.
