Chapter 484 Defensive experts come to the rescue!
However, in the early morning of the next day, when everyone was still expecting the New York Knicks to form the Big Three, Melon spoke up.
The former hero of the Big Apple City said on Twitter: "I will officially test the free market and will not renew the contract with the Knicks. Welcome everyone to make an offer."
"What? Melon really said that?"
"This is the rhythm of falling out with the team."
"Melon is gone, does that mean the Big Three are out of business?"
The Big Three must be dead. In the eyes of many insiders, it is very clear that the Knicks have no intention of forming a Big Three this season.
Just looking at the salary of that person, Yi Jianlian must have at least about 1900 million, and if Melon renews his contract this year, it will be a contract worth hundreds of millions, with a starting salary of more than 2000 million, plus Stoudemire. 2341 million. The salaries of these three people alone may have exceeded the luxury tax. Is this still a joke?
It's true that Dolan is rich, but that's not how money is spent.
It doesn't make sense to spend like this.
And the Knicks have been trying to sell Stoudemire before, everyone knows this.
In addition, now Melon has made it clear that he will not renew his contract with the Knicks, which means that the Knicks this season are going to let Yi Jianlian lead the team with a single core!
call!Thinking of this, everyone was still relieved. I have to say that if the three Knicks are really united, then the others are really not very fun.
In addition to Yi Jianlian's blockbuster news, this is the second deal after the opening of the free market this year.
The Bucks sent the 2015 and 2019 second-round picks from the Nets to get the head coach Old Kidd.
Old Kidd was traded just after taking office.
The main reason is that the Nets have invested so much money, manpower and material resources this season, but in the end they only delivered such a result.
The Nets need someone to take the blame, and Kidd Sr. is the one to take the blame.
In the third piece of news after the opening of the free market this year, Irving and the Cavaliers renewed their contract.
$5 million in 9000 years.
In other words, the Cavaliers' "Big Three lineup" has already implemented two, and the last Kevin Love is short.
Just when everyone was talking, the Knicks suddenly completed a wave of transactions with the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Knicks sent Tim Hardaway Jr. and Alexei Sheved to get defensive specialist Tony Allen from the Grizzlies!
Expert comments, this deal, the Grizzlies A-, the Knicks B+.
In general, both sides are equally balanced.
Needless to say, Allen, everyone knows his value.
But Allen's offensive end is a problem, and he is also old. Even if the Grizzlies continue to use him, it is impossible to make any strategic progress.
Although Tim Hardaway Jr. is only a rookie in the second year, he averaged 10.2 points per game in his rookie season. If this continues, the future is very bright.
Add in an Alexie, and pundits think the Grizzlies should be in the money.
However, due to the previous experience of the Mavericks, Yi Jianlian is very effective when paired with these defensive experts.
Therefore, after the final judgment, the Knicks transaction value of this transaction is A-.
In this way, the inexplicable Knicks began his magical signing operation this season.
Within two hours of the first trade, the Knicks made another shot.
Knicks, Suns, Mavericks three-way trade.
The Knicks got Crowder from the Mavericks in this round, plus some cash and a future second-round pick from the Suns.
The Mavericks get the old champion.
The Suns get PJ Tucker.
In this trade, the Knicks were rated A-, the Mavericks B, and the Suns B+.
The Knicks are rated A- because they freed up most of their cap space, in addition to getting a second-round pick.
However, the Mavericks sent Tucker, who had a bright future, but only got an old boxing champion. This deal was considered unprofitable by many people.
After all, the boxing champion is old, whether he can still pick up his sledgehammer is still a matter of opinion, and the Suns getting Tucker is a complete surprise.
Tucker was one of the important contributors to the Mavericks' championship last season.
Many people still have the scene when he defended Bosh in their minds.
But it's useless for the sun to go to Tucker, he can't eat or drink, isn't it as bad as ever?
It is also one of his personal wishes for the boxing champion to return to the Mavericks. It is estimated that if nothing else happens, the boxing champion may die in the Mavericks.
Yi Jianlian's departure was an opportunity for the boxing champion. At the beginning Cuban would rather have Yi Jianlian than the boxing champion. Just relieved.
Cuban's choice back then was not wrong, he was right to want Yi Jianlian.
But now that Yi Jianlian has come to the Knicks, Yi Jianlian must play the starting position when he comes to the Knicks, and the old boxing champion's self-esteem does not allow him to be a substitute for Yi Jianlian, so after some negotiations, the old boxing champion returned to Dallas.
The Knicks' second signing is completed. In fact, this signing is only secondary, and the release of salary space is the main thing.
And Claude was also very pleasantly surprised.
He, Middleton, Green and others were all excavated by Yi Jianlian.
Among these three people, Green has already played his worth and has been traded by the Warriors.
And Middleton is also the new star that is currently being cultivated by the Mavericks. He is the only one who looks good, but he is not as conspicuous as the other two.
But it will definitely be different when he arrives at the Knicks. Yi Jianlian told him that after arriving at the Knicks, he will be asked to play the main lineup on the bench.
Claude's family knows his own affairs, and he is only at that level. If you want to talk about an All-Star player, that's impossible. He just wants to get a big contract with Yi Jianlian.
After all, money is what matters, isn't it?
The signing of the Knicks is not over yet. On July 7, the Knicks submitted a trade application to the Warriors, willing to use the power forward/center player Andrea Bargnani in exchange for Andre Igo Darla.
Andrea is an Italian player. He has played for the Raptors since 06, and it has been many years.
He is a standard European inside player. He is not good at physical contact and confrontation inside. Instead, he can pull the outside line to shoot, and he can barely be regarded as an anti-aircraft gun.
But his accuracy is not good, his low-post ability is also very bad, and his rebounds are even more messy.
But this guy's scoring ability is not bad. He averaged 13.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in the Knicks last season.
If compared with the first brother, his average data per game is even better, but the Warriors sternly rejected the Knicks' request almost without thinking about it.
