Howard's words are also very coquettish. When he and Kobe had a big fight, he never said such soft words.
Many old fans talked about it.
Is Howard trying to please Kobe and want to return to the Lakers?
Howard may not be able to bear this kind of ups and downs...
On July 7, 13, according to Woj reports, league sources revealed that Jeremy Lin was traded to the Eagles.
After experiencing a major injury with a torn cruciate ligament, Jeremy Lin, as he said when he was injured, became the object of dislike by various NBA teams.
The Eagles are willing to take over Jeremy Lin's mess from basketball, mainly to get other more important bargaining chips from the Nets.
According to Woj, the Nets also exchanged future second-round picks with the Hawks in this deal.The Eagles gave the Nets the right to sign a 2016 second-round pick, Isaia Cordinier, and the Eagles got the right to swap a 2025 second-round pick and a 2023 draft pick.
Less than a month after joining the Hawks, Jeremy Lin, who was defined as the team's third point guard, was directly bought out by the Hawks, starting his wandering career in the NBA.
Jeremy Lin's annual salary this season is 1252 million US dollars. After recovering from his injury, he averaged only 19 minutes per game, scoring 9.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists.
Jeremy Lin's report card handed over this season is already a classic representative of high salary and low ability in the NBA.Jeremy Lin's team began to wander among various teams, hoping to find a next home to accept Jeremy Lin.
The free market is gradually coming to an end.
The Rockets and the Suns have just announced the results of the trade between the two teams through the official NBA website.
The Rockets sent Anderson and Melton to the Suns for Chriss and Knight.
The Eagles center stayed with the team to participate in the reconstruction.
The Wizards traded for Rivers.
In addition to saving a little salary space of about 100 million, it is temporarily impossible to see where they need Rivers to play.
After all, the Wizards have Bill and Wall in the backcourt, and the team will not move the gun for the time being.
The Wizards' choice may be a preparation for the trade away of Oubre.
The transfers of small fish and shrimp have been completed one after another, and the biggest big fish in the free market have gradually become the most concerned objects of fans.
The work of recruiting James has become the most dedicated work of each team this summer.
A local Philadelphia 76 business put up three billboards on the outskirts of Cleveland.
One reads "Philadelphia Needs LeBron," another reads "Complete Process," another is a tactical board with the jersey numbers of Embiid, Simmons, Saric and Covington on it, and another is No. 23 wearing a crown.
The Houston Rockets also offered an olive branch to James this summer. James' good brother Paul personally came forward to recruit James.
Despite some unhappiness with Harden last season, the team has no intention of sending Paul away for the time being.
The Rockets have replaced a richer boss this year. He made it clear that if James joins the Rockets, he is willing to pay more luxury taxes.
Just when people were discussing about James, Durant took the lead to stand up.
He completed a one-year short sign with the Warriors.
When this news came out, it immediately caused another wave of fans to climax.
Durant is also ranked among the top three super giants in the league, with a player option of 3000 million US dollars a year. How could Durant complete the contract extension with the Warriors so hastily.
Fans who understand football certainly understand that this is Durant's decision to make amends.
Durant did not choose to ask for a bigger contract. He only renewed his contract with the Warriors for one year, and he also voluntarily cut his salary.Durant's idea is to play one more year in the Warriors and apologize for his impulsiveness last year, which led to the loss of the championship.
Of course, the Warriors management would like to see Durant like this.
With a one-year player option contract, the Warriors will also focus on Durant next season to test whether Durant can become an indispensable member of the Warriors dynasty.
With Durant's contract settled, there are only three big fish left in the league.
Fans are looking forward to the decision of James and Leonard, but there is still no movement between the two.
Another small fix.
The Lakers and the Clippers have sent away several forward players one after another, triggering speculation in the media.
"Is it true that James and Leonard's next family will be born in Los Angeles?"
"James and Leonard are not going to team up, are they? Oh my God, I get excited just thinking about it."
"Is it the Lakers or the Clippers? Can you get the result soon, I can't wait..."
Subsequently, ESPN's well-known media person Wo Shen broke the news that the Pelicans had agreed to trade Anthony Davis with Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, and three first-round picks.
The entire NBA circle was shocked by this news.
Compared with the previous offer, although the Lakers successfully kept Kuzma, they paid 3 draft picks (including this year's No. 4 pick in the first round) and three rookies with great potential. The price can be said to be quite tragic.
The Lakers sent out all the cornerstones of the future team building at once. Many media speculated that it seems that the Lakers have reached a cooperation with James in private.
Because apart from James, there is no player in the league worthy of the Lakers working so hard for him...
really.
Shortly after the deal was officially concluded, James' decision was officially exposed.
James announced to join the Los Angeles Lakers with a four-year $4 million maximum salary contract.
And all of this, as early as the night before the free market opened, James had already made a decision.
Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and the Big Three of the Lakers have been sitting together secretly for a long time, outlining the grand picture of the future of the Lakers dynasty.
So far, the Lakers dynasty's summer reinforcement plan has come to a perfect end.
But another problem arose.
In order to reinforce, the Lakers sent away almost all the players on the team.
In the absence of signing other players, the Lakers will start next season with only five players on the roster.
The five players are LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kyle Kuzma, Moritz Wagner, and Ithaca Bonga.
而这5名球员下赛季薪资由高到低分别为3744万、2709万、206万、197万、166万，合计7022万美元。
According to the league's regulations, the salary cap of the NBA's 2018-2019 season is $1.09 million. If it exceeds this amount, the team will have to pay a high luxury tax to the league.
In other words, the Lakers have $3878 million in room to reinforce other players.
However, the few remaining big fish in the league all ask for far more than this amount of salary.
Whether it is Leonard who is in the limelight, or Paul George, Kemba Walker, Jimmy Butler and Kyrie Irving who are second only, the minimum contract they require is a starting salary of 3270 million...
