Chapter 345 Choice
Angie is still holding at least a big contract that must be cleared like Ratliffe, and Gerard Green, who is about to end the rookie contract, is also within the scope of Angie's cleaning. He is just thinking about how to take action.
After all, Ratliff's big contract of more than 10 million yuan is a burden that can't be shaken off.
The old guy's average playing time last season has been compressed to less than 15 minutes. Especially after the fear of war came out, Rivers became more and more and less popular, and even directly put him on the injury list.
Even Novak is valued by Beratliffe. Rivers's army is so realistic. If you really can't do it, you can't sit on a cold bench like Scala Bryan and be a qualified water dispenser administrator.
But if you have the ability to play, but don't play, then I'm sorry. Just play with me.
From the day Ratliff was a coward, the old guy was no longer included in Rivers' tactical considerations.
For the team, the title of Ratliffe, the former block king, does not serve as an amulet at all.
With Chen Feng, such an animal with a big slap under the basket, a half-disabled Ratliff is really useless. What's more, the old man's contribution on the offensive end is really dispensable.
Even Perkins' role in the basket is much more practical than Latlief. There are few Chen Feng and always Weber. Whether it is impact or rich experience, Rivers has more choices. Why do he keep a man like Ratliffe who doesn't work and only takes money? It's just that this guy's contract is too difficult to trade.
If the team doesn't need to vacate the salary space, or is ready to start rebuilding, it is estimated that ordinary people will not choose to find such an old guy who lives with tens of millions of contracts, mainly because he can really hit it directly in his hands.
When trading with the Supersonics, Angie once proposed to use Ratliff as a chip instead of exchanging Szebiak for it. As a result, even the Supersonic team that is ready to rebuild has no intention of having him.
You can say that this rotten big contract has really become one of the team's cancers. From the closing of the transfer market last year to the reopening of the summer, no one cares about this guy.
A big man with an ordinary scoring ability and a casual defensive attitude, coupled with a big contract that makes people a headache, wants to get rid of him, is really not a problem that ordinary team managers can solve.
If those junk contracts are so easy to deal with, the New York Knicks will not have to pay a lot of luxury taxes every season. It's really heavier than anyone else's burden. It must be a more burden for the Knicks.
It's just that Angie's boss who is not such a loser spends money behind his back. He always has to consider packing a spoonful to sweep Rutlieff and several marginal figures out of the door. Although it sounds a little cruel, this is the truth.
The NBA has never been a humane place. Olajuwan can be thrown out by the Rockets at the end of his career because he can no longer bring more help to the team. It's a business.
No matter how popular you were at the beginning, when your surplus value is squeezed out, you will wait to be cleaned and forgotten. There are only a few lucky people who can really die in a team.
Stockton, Master Joe, can really count, in a team experience the beginning, the end, glory, the low tide, the players who can have so much experience, after all, a small part, more is still wandering.
The most indispensable thing in this league is the tramp. They have been to many teams and have sat on many cold benches. They can't be the master. They can only consider going to other places and continue to survive after handing over a piece of data.
You can't say that this is the disloyalty of the players or the unkindness of the team. You can only say that this league is too commercial.
Business makes you feel a little cold-blooded. As long as there is no use value, or the exhausted old guys who are squeezed, it can only be the end of the walk. Look at Weber being bought out, you should know.
There is nothing to say here. Even Pierce has to consider whether he can die in Boston.
As for Ray Allen, although there have been peak moments in the Bucks and Supersonics, as long as the team needs it, the only thing waiting for him is to leave. This is a kind of league game rule, and no one can escape from this circle.
Occasionally, two or three loyal ministers can be retained by the team until they retire, which is the greatest praise.
Angie has also thought of a lot of ways to get rid of Ratliff, a big contract that is about to be smashed, but the most practical thing is to find a team to try to trade and buy out this matter, which is really a little unreliable.
Anyway, it is not only the Supersonics that want to rebuild this season. The 76ers are thinking about creating a new AI era with Igdala as the core, and the Minnesota Timberwolves are also looking for a new core.
If it were to change to another team, maybe Angie would not be so entangled. It would be a good deal to trade several drafts for next season or one or two middle-class people with Ratliff and Gerald Green.
But the ** from Minnesota did make Angie a little restless, so this guy had been holding Ratliff's big contract and didn't choose to try to trade. This was the only chip he could take out.
Don't care if the old guy can still play a role. As a trading chip, he can already talk to Minnesota. The only thing to confirm is the idea of the big brand. Let's see how he chooses.
In fact, it's not just Angie who thinks about it now. Many people are waiting for the team that talks and holds the contract and is ready to trade with Minnesota. It's a big catch. Many people are waiting to catch this big fish.
But compared with other teams, there are only two or three teams that are competitive. Do you really expect a big guy who has been eager for the championship for several years to continue to pursue a high salary? Then put the championship ring aside?
If he really thinks so, why don't he stay in Minnesota? Anyway, he will take the top salary here. Will it be doubled in another place? If it weren't for the ring, he wouldn't have entered the transfer market.
For example, the New York Knicks and the Cavaliers have ideas to recruit this god, but the former's competitiveness is so miserable that the latter can take out limited chips, not to mention partnering with the little emperor, which is really stressful.
Many big names who have entered the transfer market to test the water are not going to connect with the Cavaliers, that is to say, because the light of the little emperor is too dazzling. Standing with him is completely a supporting role.
How many people are willing to help people with the top salary? What's more, the boss who has been in Minnesota for so long, is still in his old state, just hugging other people's thighs like this? Can he be happy?
Don't say that he is the god. Even Larry Hughes is unwilling to be the second-in-command in the Cavaliers. The little emperor is not a domineering existence. He has not cultivated the realm of a tiger body that shocks his younger brother.
Leaving aside the Cavaliers and the Knicks, there are only two or three teams that can compete with the Minnesota gods now, and the chips in Boston and Los Angeles are also the most attractive, and the championship background of these two cities is also the most attractive.
It's just that Kobe Bryant is a little fierce in Los Angeles. He forced the management to speed up the pace of signing. Looking at the dust in Boston, Kobe couldn't sit still.
According to sources, Peter Pan has given an ultimatum to the management of the Lakers. As long as the lineup is not strengthened, he will choose to leave before the transfer door is closed, and he is not joking about this issue.
Kobe Bryant played enough last season. It was easy to wait for a big fish to enter the transfer market. As a result, he was busy for a long time. The Lakers haven't even got a hair now. How can he not be angry?
And after O'Neill left, he has been playing soy sauce for years, which gives many people a reason to attack him, a scorer who has done nothing after leaving the super center, and a "pseudo-leader" who is not qualified to lead the team.
At least Kobe Bryant is also one of the top scorers in the NBA, and he holds three championship rings. This guy can't be willing to be ridiculed so much, but if he wants to slap him in the face, he can only talk by his grades.
But the Lakers' deal is so weak, can he expect to survive for another year? Then start to counterattack the championship?
I was beheaded by the Suns for two years in a row. I guess this may be able to endure it if it were someone else, but Kobe, who is extremely disgusted with failure, never wants to continue to put up with it. If you put up with it again, it will really become a ninja turtle.
Kobe can't stand this treatment. Similarly, Lakers fans can't stand the days when Los Angeles has no victory and no big names. Now City of Angels is about to make those reporters despise a second-rate team.
If the team's management continues to fool around like this, it is not to say that Kobe doesn't want to stay. It is estimated that those fans will refuse to go to the Staples Arena next season to "enjoy" the treatment of being ** by the away team.
So, even if the Lakers still want to wait, they still want to see how far Bynum can grow, and the time left for them is a little short of people. Now Kupcek is not far away.
Kobe, from the management, including the pressure given to him by the fans, has almost made this guy collapse.
Although Angie has a life-threatening Rivers behind him, at least the team's transactions are in his hands. There is no uproof, and there are few complaints even if he leaves.
This is not a matter of control. It's just that compared with the Lakers, who have been going well in recent years, Boston's dark period of nearly 20 years has sharpened the nerves of fans.
Similarly, whether it is the team's players or management, it is not the kind of existence that can be defeated at once.
Here is the imprint of Auerbach. The strong style not only refers to the team, but also covers the management and the fan community. When these guys begin to recover, it is far more terrible than the average team.
In addition to the background, there is also a sense of honor engraved in the bones of the dynasty that wants to restore. Who dares to say that it can easily shake Boston now? Unless you are crazy, it's better not to have such naive thoughts.
Although the pressure on both sides is not small, it is obvious that Angie's side is more relaxed, and he still has a way to retreat, but Kupcek is already a back-to-back battle. If he can't succeed, he will get out of here immediately.
Almost at the same time, Kupcek and Angie made a move. The chips they smashed have moved the Timberwolves. I'm afraid the only thing they have to wait for is the god's own choice.
Is it Los Angeles or Boston, going to the gorgeous City of Angels, or to the somewhat bandit green shirt territory? I'm afraid that he is wandering now, and he is gambling for his championship dream.
Who can achieve his dream? It is estimated that the two contracts on the table, as well as the list of players being accumulated by both sides, are constantly adding weights at both ends of the sky, making someone's mind swing from side to side.
It's just that the one who hesitates in Minnesota now touches the hearts of many people. His choice is likely to affect the tilt of the victory or defeat next season, especially in the East...
The chips offered by both sides are also surprising. Anji bet on the stability of the future, while Kupcek bet more thoroughly. He is even ready to break up all the existing frameworks.
It's not because of anything else, but because the guy who was recruited was called Kevin Garnett, and he deserved it...
