Chapter 143 The End of the Arms Race

- "We have to take action instead of watching. Tell Jeff that guy is 32.8 million in 4 years, and the player option for the last year of 3+1 is our biggest limit. If we don't agree to welcome him to find a new owner, I don't think the Clippers are not a fool." Kupcek snorted coldly.

"No problem, I'll communicate with Jeff Schmitz immediately." The assistant agreed, and Kupucek stopped him when he was about to go out.

To David. Lee and Nate. Robinson and Sessions made an offer. I don't think they have any reason to refuse the call of the championship-level team. We need fresh blood. Next year, we will still be the last one to win the championship.

The assistant nodded and agreed and turned out of the office, and the deal between the Spurs, the Magic and the Clippers was like the beginning of the arms race in the 2009-2010 season.

"Roaring Tianzun stays in Los Angeles, the new aircraft carrier is ready to go" - Yahoo Sports's headlines officially confirmed the news that Rashid Wallace has joined the Clippers.

According to the league's official news, former All-Star player Rashid. Wallace officially signed a contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. The contract is unknown for the time being. The Los Angeles Clippers, which is imperative to strengthen the inside line, have taken a practical step. Although Rashid is no longer at the peak, his strength still exists, which will be a powerful supplement to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Shortly after Wallace officially signed the Clippers, the NBA official website officially announced the deal about Shark O'Neal.

"Big Shark Returns to Los Angeles, the Luxury Inside Line of the Clippers Aircraft Carrier Group" is just like the previously exposed transaction. There is almost no difference between the final trading plan and the exposed trading plan. The only difference is that the Clippers changed the first round of draft in 2010 to the 2010 and the second round of 2011, and the final party The Clippers sent Steve out. Novak, Sam. Kassel, rookie Juan. Blair, the first-round picks in 2011, the two second rounds in 2010 and the 10 million transaction special case and the 3 million transaction compensation cash in exchange for the big shark O'Neal and the second round pick in 2010.

At the moment the transaction was completed, the Suns announced the purchase of Kassel, and the Clippers announced the alien Sam as soon as possible. Kassel will become the team's assistant coach.

And after the transaction was completed, the Clippers' insider also completed a gorgeous upgrade, from the original Tyson. Chandler, Josh. McCroverts, Roy. Hibbert's three-person rotation has become a five-person rotational luxury insider combination. Although Wallace and O'Neal have reached their peak, such a five-person insider combination will still become one of the most powerful insider combinations in the league.

"We should have got Rashid, the damn Los Angeles, the Clippers are as annoying as the Lakers, and we immediately quoted Lamar. Odom." Danny is far away in Boston. Angie was very depressed after seeing the news and could only change her goal, but the team's salary space did not allow him to open a big contract for Odom. He could only hope to join Odom with the promise of favors and the championship. Obviously, he did not know that Odom's agent Jeff Schmitz had been with Nell. Olshu reached a basic agreement.

On the same day, the Phoenix Suns announced that they had been with free agent center Channing. Fry signed a contract with Steve, the core of the team. Nash has reached a two-year contract extension, and the Suns will continue to use Nash as the team to win the honor. With Fry and Novak, the two super-high Suns will undoubtedly be even crazier.

Under the pressure of competition from the Cleveland Cavaliers, who was intercepted by the Clippers, officially signed a free agent Anthony. Parker, 34-year-old Parker, is a swinger who can shoot and defend. He played 80 regular season games for the Raptors last season, averaging 10.7 points, 4 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 33 minutes per game. His excellent shooting skills and rich game experience will be shared by the little emperor James.

The Celtics, who were also robbed by the Clippers, Wallace, signed several contracts in a row. First, they signed a 1.9 million biennial special contract with 28-year-back Daniels, who played well in the Pacers last season. You should know that they could get the highest career 1 in the Pacers last season. With 3.6 points and 4.6 rebounds, such a contract is undoubtedly worthwhile and even aroused the dissatisfaction of other uniformers in the league. It is agreed that the Celtics did not follow the formal market rules, but Daniels himself is willing to accept the contract. Others can only complain, and the Celtics then signed a free agent. Sheldon, the No. 5 show as a power forward in 2006. Williams, and the big baby Glen, who was selected to play well in the second round of the playoffs. Davis, further work hard to regain the championship.

The Dallas Mavericks in the West were unlucky. They failed to strengthen and lost their important insider rotation Brandon. Bass.

"There is no doubt that they have violated their credibility. I can't say anything more. Orlando broke the rules. Obviously, it was agreed that we could get Gotat. They would not match the contract, so we didn't match Brandon, but in fact they played us, and we lost an important player for this, even if it was a It's also shameful for a business alliance to act like this. Mark, the owner of the Mavericks. Kuban said to reporters, and Magic became the target of criticism from other uniform groups in the league.

The magic finally strengthened through the trade matched the Mavericks' 5-year 34 million fat contract for the Polish Hammer Gotat and the Mavericks' insider Brandon. Bass took over the account, the insider strength was further upgraded, and then signed Matt, who performed outstandingly in the Suns last season. Barnes, the heart of the championship, is well known by passers-by. However, in the end, they lost Tecoglu, the god of war. The Toronto people successfully made a five-year contract of 50 million for the Turks. The 30-year-old Tecoglu could not refuse such a contract. The loss of Tecoglu was undoubtedly a heavy hit for the magic.

But Otis, the general manager of Magic. Smith is full of confidence in his operation. He believes that keeping the team's three star lineups, Howard, Lewis and Nelson unchanged, Carter, Bass, Barnes and a series of other powerful players have been recruited, and they are determined to win the championship next season.

The bull-horse battle has always been a classic battle in the West. This summer, the San Antonio Spurs have been recruiting crazily. Not only did the perfect deal get the outsider Richard. Jefferson, Wang Theo, is in the inside and front block. Latlief reached an agreement.

There are fewer and fewer good players in the free market, and only a few players are still being harassed by various teams. Among them, the best is undoubtedly Lamar, the Lakers' champion last season. David, the 05 double Jay of Odom and the Knicks. Lee and Little Potato Dunk King Nate. Robinson, these three people are involved in gossip almost every day.

"What? Rejected our contract? Why?" Mark Kuban couldn't believe that Odom would reject the four-year 40 million contract offered by the Mavericks.

Lamar. Odom's agent said that they had reached a signing agreement with Los Angeles. He didn't say the exact amount, but it should be no worse than us.

"Isn't it worse than us? Is that stingy Mickey so generous? Mark. Kuban naturally thought of the Lakers.

At this time, the NBA official website updated the headlines.

"Odom signed the Clippers, the Lakers suffered a heavy hit" Lamar, one of the Los Angeles Lakers' champions last season. Odom became a free agent in the off-season and became the target of various teams in the league. In the end, the Lakers' city team, the Clippers, became Lamar. Odom's new owner, the specific contract is unknown for the time being. The Los Angeles Clippers is the place where Odom's career began. The Los Angeles Clippers once again strengthens the inside line, and the six inside line lineup points directly to the championship.

With the release of this news, the Lakers fans were angry because they felt betrayal, ** naked betrayal.

"He is a liar. We will never forgive him. If he stands in front of me, I will treat him with my fist."

"When he comes home carefully!"

"The Purple and Gold Legion never needs traitors, and the championship will always belong to us."

... The anger of the Lakers fans can be imagined. At this time, Kupchek, the general manager of the Lakers, updated his Twitter.

"I wish Lamar. I hope he has a good start. It's a pity that we didn't complete the contract renewal. I understand the role of money. Lamar's departure from the Lakers will still move forward. We also have Bryant Paul Anzu and Phil..."

This tweet undoubtedly directly described Odom as money and refused to renew the contract with the Lakers. The anger of the Lakers fans became more and more angry.

Odom even received death threats, which made Odom feel uneasy. He was not going to respond to anything. After all, he was very happy in the Lakers and reached the peak of his career, but Kupchek's remarks undoubtedly caused him a huge injury and incited radical fans.

"I thank my Lakers for my years. I had a good time with the Lakers. I got the championship ring I expected. I'm not a person who left for money. I hope to find more challenges. My life is still long, but it is undeniable that my career has entered the countdown. Maybe five years or four years. I will leave this league, the place where I started my career in the Clippers. He has never changed in my memory. Back here, I hope to have a perfect ending like a fairy tale. Yes, I rejected the Lakers' contract. Mickey opened 32.8 million for 4 years, but I refused. Some people may say that I'm for money, but the Clippers' contract is only 35 million for 5 years. I just want to end my career where my career begins. I hope the fans will look at it rationally. Thank you Lakers fans. Good luck to the Lakers. This is the last true expression of Odom's love on a talk show in Los Angeles. The outflow of this video suddenly eased the thoughts of many radical fans, while Kupcek was criticized ruthlessly.

As the Lakers' star, Kobe Bryant also expressed his opinion, "Lamar thanks him for everything he has brought to us, and I wish him a good start and end in the Clippers."

The summer of 2009 is slowly coming to an end, and there is less and less movement in the free market. The Lakers who lost Odom announced on August 28 that they would officially sign David, who had an outstanding performance in the Knicks last season and contributed two pairs per game, with a contract of 8 million a year. Lee, and the New York Knicks did not choose to match the contract issued by the Lakers.

On the same day, the Dallas Mavericks announced that they had officially signed the insider Drew. Gooden, used to enhance the team's inside strength. Gooden, who has good inside offensive strength, will undoubtedly become a good helper for Nowitzki, which also slightly makes up for Mark. Kuban's broken heart.

The Celtics struggled to pursue Big Ben Wallace, who was bought out by the Cavaliers when the number of in-line players in the free market was decreasing, but in the end, they still pursued them to no results. In the end, Ben, the best defender of the fourth term. Wallace chose to return to the Detroit Pistons at the peak of his career with a veteran contract of 1.3 million.

"God decided that Memphis will be the place to continue my career. I have met the Grizzlies bosses, Michael Hayes and Chris Wallace, and my next coach, Hollings. This text was written in Iverson's blog, and Xiao Ai clearly pointed out that Hollins was his next coach. So far, the rumor that Xiao Ai will go to Europe to play because no team is willing to accept it has not been broken.

Three days later, Iverson joined the Grizzlies and got the Grizzlies boss Michael. Confirmation of Hayes, general manager Wallace and Grizzlies coach Hollings.

"Our work is over, and I'll leave it to you now!" Orshu said with a smile.

"Yes, I think if we don't break through, I will be fired, and the fans won't let us go." Mike. Dunleavy said with a smile on his face.

On the day the start of the teams' training camps, the San Antonio Spurs, who kept moving in the off-season, were once again reported that they would sign the free forward guard swinger Keith with the veteran's base salary. Bogance, further strengthen the team lineup.

"Crazy 2009, Arms Race" - ESPN special topic.

Unconsciously, the off-season is coming to an end. In this crazy summer, although Magic and Spurs Celtics are constantly aiming at the championship, they signed Roaring Tianzun Wallace, Shark O'Neal and Lamar. The Los Angeles Clippers, the three powerful insiders of Odom, once again became the focus of media attention. The summer action of the Clippers was rated as the highest rating of A+, while the Spurs and Magic were followed by A.

But everything is a prediction. Everything has to wait for the test after the start of the season. Even if the regular season is perfect, it has to be tested by the playoffs to prove who will be the final winner of the arms race in the summer of 2009.

On September 20, the Los Angeles Clippers training camp officially opened, and Lin Fei was still the first to arrive. This summer, Lin Fei still threw himself into the training after returning from the Maldives. When the new teammates arrived one by one, Lin Fei's idea of the championship became more and more clear.

There is no doubt that this is the best year for Lin Fei. This time he has no reason to fail.
