The Lakers continue to sign in free agency.
On July 7, Timberwolves 14-year-old veteran Fred Hoiberg chose to join with a minimum salary, of course, the purpose is to hit the championship.
He was the 95rd overall pick in the second round in 23. He is a shooting guard with a height of 193cm and a weight of 92kg. Last season, he averaged 22.8 minutes, 6.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists. He shot 46.5% from the field and 44.2% from three. One three-pointer per game.
Hoiberg's physique is average, his only specialty is shooting, he has a high ball quotient, knows how to play the ball correctly, and is not soft at critical moments.He still has the potential to be a coach. After a few years as an assistant coach, he became the head coach of the Bulls, and the winning rate is not bad.
On July 7, the Lakers signed veteran point guard Charlie Ward with a minimum salary.
Ward is an old acquaintance of Yang Rui. He worked with the Knicks. In his peak season, he averaged only 7.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. The advantage is that he plays steadily.
Ward would never play around, dribble through the half court, pass to the core of the team, then pull away to attract defenses and wait for a shot.He shot 36.4 percent from three in his career, averaged 6 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists per game in the Suns last season, while shooting 41 percent from the field and 40.8 percent from three.
Now that the Lakers have found three point guards with similar styles to Fisher, the "old fish" will definitely not come back.
Ward can't play much role on the court. Yang Rui hopes that he can teach Damon Jones and Mo Williams to control the rhythm of the game.
On the 16th, after discussing with his agent Rob Pelinka, Kobe gave up adding a trade veto to the contract.Kobe just got a verbal promise from Buss that the Lakers wouldn't trade him unless he wanted to go.
When Old Buss let go of O'Neal last year, he was determined to make Kobe a symbol of the Lakers. He was optimistic about Kobe's skills and his tenacity to not admit defeat.Even if he is already an All-Star player, Kobe will force himself to train hard and strive to go further. As long as his character is not seriously injured, his peak period will definitely not be short.
If Yang Rui and Kobe have a conflict, the old Bass will come forward to "reconcile with the mud".
The Lakers officially announced that they will renew Kobe with a seven-year, $7 million maximum salary contract. The last year is a player option, and Kobe can jump out of the contract in advance.
So far, the Lakers' new season lineup has been determined with 14 players.
Center: Yao Ming, Diop, Rasheed Wallace.
Power forwards: Brian Cook, Boris Diaw, Lamar Odom.
Small forwards: Iguodala, Walton, Ariza.
Shooting guard: Kobe, Hoiberg.
Point guards: Damon Jones, Mo Williams, Charlie Ward.
The media analyzed the Lakers lineup. Most people believe that the Lakers can enter the playoffs next season, but it is difficult to win the championship.Except for Rashid, the new recruits are not well-known.
In fact, if these people are at their peak, other teams can't play at all.The Lakers have pitchers, meat shields, super scorers, defensive specialists, everything.The Lakers will definitely have the strength to compete for the championship this season.
Not long ago, he said that he wanted to make money, and Fisher, who joined the Warriors in the middle class, immediately regretted it.He thought that the Lakers had no future, but he did not expect to have the best coach and a few strong men in just a few days.
There are also several veterans who regret not being able to join the Lakers. There are many people who are optimistic about Yang Rui. He has helped many veterans realize their dreams before.
Other teams are not idle either, and there are a lot of big deals happening in the league.
In order for the Suns to win the championship, the owner is ready to spend all their money. They have just gotten rid of Gugliotta's rotten contract and are now ready to dig another star to strengthen the team.
The Suns sent meat shield center Jahidi White, potential swingman Joe Johnson, and second-round pick Sergey Rishuk to get the Mavericks point guard Steve Nash after signing.
In addition, the Suns signed the Wizards free agent Raja Bell for 5 years and 2400 million to replace Joe Johnson, not like Yang Rui's previous life, who signed Quentin Richardson for 6 years and 4500 million.
Bell is a completely free agent, and the Wizards can't keep anyone. This is a worthwhile trade.
The Suns also signed Vujacic as a backup. He has poor offensive ability with the ball and a good long shot.
In this way, the Suns have assembled the starting lineup of Nash, Bell, Grant Hill, Marion, and O'Neal in the new season, but the bench is weaker, led by Barbosa.If Hill can keep healthy, the Suns have the strength to rush to the championship.
The Mavericks immediately waived White with a team option, freeing up $580 million in cap space, and then signed Eric Dampier for seven years and $7 million.
In the free market, Dampier can be regarded as a big fish, he is indeed an excellent meat shield center.
The Mavericks also sent Antoine Walker and guard Tony Delk to Atlanta in exchange for "Jets" Jason Terry and high-paid, low-energy forward Alan Henderson.
The Eagles cleaned up Henderson's rotten contract by packing and trading Terry. He earned 827 million a year. He only played 6 games last season and was reimbursed for the season, scoring 4 points and 3.5 rebounds.
The Mavericks also sent Antoine Jamison to the Wizards for blue-collar center Brandon Haywood, three-point forward Marshall, veteran David Wesley and some cash.
The Mavericks lineup and Yang Rui's previous life have changed a lot. They should have replaced Stackhouse and rookie Devin Harris with the Wizards.Now the trade object is still the Wizards, but the two are not on the team.
Next season, the Mavericks may be Wesley, Joe Johnson, Finley, Dirk Nowitzki, Dampier's starting point guard is the weakness.
The management is optimistic about Devin Harris, but the rookie is in the Warriors, and the Mavericks can't trade Jamison back to the Warriors.
The Wizards' management is very interested in Jamison and wants to gather the trident of Arenas, Stoudamire and Jamison.His advantage is that he can attack with the ball, better than Marshall.
Wizards also made a mistake, they sent the team's meat shield center away.Haywood has not played much time in the past two years, which does not mean that he has no strength. When he encounters a center like O'Neal, he can only withstand it when he plays.
Now the Wizards are like the Mavericks last season, with strong offense and weak defense, especially poor defense in the restricted area.
Before the Wizards' management had time to be happy, they were slapped by Carlos Boozer again.
Boozer was a second-round pick in 2002, and his salary was very low, but his performance in the last playoffs was comparable to the best rookie.The Wizards also attached great importance to him. The owner Abel Pollin and the Wizards management decided to let Boozer jump out of the rookie contract in advance and offered him a 6-year contract of 4100 million yuan.
In this way, the Wizards can keep the twin towers, and Boozer can play the 4th and 5th positions as a substitute to ensure the attack, and rotate with Stoudemire and the new Jamison.
However, after Boozer jumped out of the contract, the Jazz came out and offered a six-year, $6 million long-term contract.
The difference between the two contracts is 2700 million. It's no wonder that Boozer has a backside in his head. If he doesn't sign such a contract, he will be a fool.Moreover, Boozer didn't see anything in the Wizards worthy of loyalty.
After Boozer signed with the Jazz, the Wizards management was dumbfounded. Just like when they forced Arenas, the Warriors couldn't match the contract. Now they can't match Boozer's contract. "Boy" ran away, knowing that this kind of thing would happen, the Wizards management might as well use him for another year.
Yang Rui watched the lively news of "The World News", and the filming of "The Female Spy" was completed.
After the banquet, Yang Rui called Stana Katic to travel to China together.
SARS has been completely controlled. During the summer vacation, Yang Rui plans to go back to China to have a look and stop paying attention to the free market.After the Lakers trade, he's not afraid of any team.
