Chapter 601 2009 NBA Free Agency Market(2/3)

"I also agree with this view. If we choose a No. 4 pick and only come as a team substitute, it is really not suitable for this time!"

"Yes, even if we don't choose Curry, the probability of Sun staying with the Warriors is very high. This kind of operation is a bit superfluous!"

"I'm afraid of choosing Curry, and Sun didn't stay with the Warriors in the end. What should I do?"

...

Just as the fans talked about it, the door to the 2009 NBA free market has begun.

This year's free agent market is not short of big fish.

The biggest card is naturally Sun Hao.

The whole world knows that Sun Hao and the Warriors signed a one-year contract last season.

Moreover, Sun Hao did not say in public that he would definitely stay with the Warriors.

Before the goddess told you in person, it would be inappropriate for you to yell.

It can be expected that when the free market gate officially opens, Sun Hao’s villa in Oakland will become another Boston North Shore Garden Arena.

After Sun Hao, the second biggest brand is Kobe.

Kobe's contract was still the first and then exchange contract signed when he was trading with Sun Hao.

The contract has a free agent option this summer.

Just before the players' free market door opened, Kobe had announced that he had jumped out of the contract.

This means that he is also a complete free agent and can sign with any team.

What the Clippers own is just a contract that can provide a richer contract with Bird terms.

Of course, after leading the Clippers to win the first championship in team history and making a bold statement in the championship parade that it would bring more championships to the Clippers and Los Angeles, most people believe that Kobe has no reason to leave the Clippers.

Kobe's operation to break out of the contract should be just to get a new big contract.

Then there is another big fish who has not yet confirmed to jump out of the contract but can also cause market shock, Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's contract situation was already very clear when he played the Olympics with Sun Hao last year.

He has a continuous player option, the second and last this year.

If he chooses to jump out of the contract, then this year's free market will be really fried fish.

In addition to these three, if you are short, you will still have many fat fish in the free market this year.

Boozer, Odom, Tkoglu, Ben Gordon, Kidd, Marion, Rashid Wallace...

And David Lee, Villanueva, Brandon Bass, etc. who did not receive a contract renewal in the 2005th year but performed well in the contract year.

This will make the free market lively.

Before the free market door opened, Sun Hao took Scarlett and Little Beijing to Hawaii, and his commonly used mobile phone was turned off.

His previous experience at the draft made him realize that he would definitely not be able to calm down this summer.

So instead of being harassed, he simply ran to avoid the limelight first and came back when the free market was almost settled.

After all, although he had never been said in public that he chose to stay with the Warriors, it was actually a matter of being settled after experiencing a series of things before and after.

Only a spare mobile phone was left beside him. Only Gu Yi knew the mobile phone number, and even Paul Fu was not aware of it.

The reason why Paul Fu didn't know is that he is not just Sun Hao's agent, but James's.

This day was also the day before the free market door officially opened. Many people wanted to visit Sun Hao and ran away.

However, Sun Hao's phone rang.

It was Gu Yi called him.

Sun Hao had already advised Gu Yi before, not to fight if it is not very important.

So he quickly picked it up.

"Yao asked me to tell you that he is going to stay in Washington!"

What Gu Yi said is indeed very important.

Sun Hao was a little surprised by the news, but he could guess it.

He still knows Yao Ming's character.

In history, he once had the opportunity to join forces with Kobe, but in the end he didn't.

The fundamental reason is his "loyalty".

He felt that if a team trained him, he should stay there to play.

At this point, Sun Hao actually thought so at the beginning.

However, as he was later traded by the Mavericks, he also became determined according to the situation.

Moreover, Yao Ming's decision is somewhat related to the Wizards' performance last season.

The Wizards reached the finals last season and have another chance to strengthen this summer, so he should indeed stay.

However, from the perspective of Sun Hao, a time traveler, McGrady was given a closed injection just like in history, and she didn't know if her condition would decline like in history.

If it does, Yao Ming's next two years will not be easy.

He called Yao Ming.

Basically, it’s just talk and some blessing words.

After all, if McGrady does not decline like in history, the Wizards can still look forward to strengthening it.

On July 1, the door to the NBA free market officially opened.

Although no formal signing was reached because of the freezing period, many verbal signings and rumors have been revealed.

Then, the first contract was signed and the fish was fried.

Yao Ming announced that the contract was broken!

The management of each team looked excited and expectant.

This new big fish that entered the pond is not as fat as Sun Hao and Kobe!

But soon, they became bored.

Because shortly after Yao Ming jumped out of the contract, another news broke out between the Wizards.

They and Boozer reached a 4-year, 58 million contract!

Then, they announced that they had reached a five-year maximum salary contract with Yao Ming!

In other words, Yao Ming jumped out of the contract just to make the team have room to sign Boozer!!

Both contracts have maximum salary, but the only difference is that Boozer is a rookie in 2002, and his starting salary is 5% less than Yao Ming's salary.

In addition, there are also differences in contract options.

Boozer's last year's contract option is the team option, while Yao Ming's contract is the same as the previous contract, with a player option starting from the third year.

After signing these two big contracts, the Wizards' salary suddenly became overwhelming.

But obviously, it is worth it.

Because from the perspective of the Wizards management, this may be their only chance to leave Yao Ming.

It can also be foreseen that in order to alleviate salary pressure, the Wizards will have some subsequent transactions similar to "sold at a low price" and a large number of basic salary signings.

Let’s talk about the Wizards’ lineup.

Although Boozer's fame is much worse than Garnett, it is a lineup of the Big Three!

What Tatum said when communicating with Stern began to come true.

The emergence of the three Celtic giants has made the league form a bad atmosphere!

With two big signings in a row, the Wizards started a strong screen dominance mode on the first day of the free market.

But the next day, the protagonist quickly changed.

Switched from Wizards to Clippers.

The Clippers directly reached a four-year, maximum salary renewal contract with Kobe.

This contract will ensure that Kobe will play for the Clippers until the 2013-2014 season.

In the last season, the annual salary of this contract will reach $30 million.

This will also make Kobe the first person to get this salary after Jordan.

What is more worth mentioning is that there is another very special thing in this contract: the veto power of transactions.

During the contract period, if the Clippers want to trade Kobe, they must obtain Kobe's own consent.

The Clippers can be said to have given them the greatest respect for Kobe.

Some people will definitely ask why they only have a 4-year contract.

Because the NBA has a 38-year-old clause, after the contract is fulfilled, Kobe can renew his last big contract with the Clippers.
