Durant and Irving want to run away from the team, and the Nets will not give up, but will maximize the profits
When the Irving deal is repeatedly broken, when Durant's farce escalates, the league is a state of undercurrent. Both the team management and the players themselves want to maximize their own interests, and Durant and Irving want to leave the team, just to get out of the current environment and go to a team that can both make themselves comfortable and have a chance to win the championship. But what about the Nets? Three years ago, in order to get these two super giants, Boss Cai was painstaking, even if he spent a lot of money to take them down. Now you have to run away without helping the team? Of course, the team will not give up, but will get its due rewards.
The Lakers are determined to win against Irving, and Westbrook executes player options to block the salary space
For the Lakers, it is only a matter of time before he gets Irving, and he only has a one-year contract with the Nets. Not surprisingly, he will join the Lakers as a free agent next summer and join James again to win the championship again. But the Lakers also have a one-year contract with Wei Shao for more than 47 million yuan, after all, Wei Shao chose to implement the player option for the next season in the offseason, making the Lakers have almost no salary space to introduce some high-quality role players.
The Purple and Gold Legion caused a wall of trouble, and there seemed to be a certain gap between Wei Shao and James
Perhaps it is also because of this that He will ignore Westbrook's feelings and allow James and Davis to meet with Owen privately. Not only that, when James and Wei Shao went to the scene of the summer league to watch the game, there was almost no communication throughout the whole process, and the positions of the two were not together and they were a bit strange. In fact, it is understandable that the two have become like this, after all, they are not the iron brothers in life; Moreover, James's current goal is to win the championship, and Wei Shao still has to think about the future, and naturally runs to make money.
After fourteen years of cooperation, Wei Shao broke up with his agent
So what we were worried about finally came, according to the sports celebrity Woj's revelations, Wei Shao and the agent who had worked with him for fourteen years completely broke up and ended up breaking up. As for the reason? The agent thought it would be a better choice to stay with the Lakers, and Westbrook wanted to leave the place, and the two did not agree and terminated the cooperation. Today's Wei Shao has no peak combat strength, and it is really difficult to continue to get a maximum salary contract, which is a problem that must be faced squarely.
That is, the combat strength declines and the peak is no longer there, and Wei Shao is very embarrassed in the Lakers position
If the Lakers want to impact the championship in the new season, they must deal with Westbrook's last-year contract and trade it to another team to free up salary space before they have a chance to get players who are more suitable for the lineup. For Wei Shao, it is very embarrassing for him to continue to play for the Lakers at the moment, and it feels a bit like a corpse vegetarian meal. In the 21-22 regular season, Westbrook averaged 18.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 44.4% from the field, 29.8% from three-point range and 66.7% from the free throw line.
From the data, we can see that Wei Shao's strength has really declined seriously, and he has not lost the style and charm of the MVP in the past. In many games, we can also see that when Westbrook plays with James, he does not seem to be as calm as before, but is constrained like a constraint. When he had the opportunity to shoot, there was a phenomenon of three non-sticks, and there were many forced passes, and he had completely doubted his own strength.
The Lakers are eager to get Irving, the Spurs are willing to enter the game, and Westbrook leaves the team to enter the countdown
According to sean Deveney, the Lakers hope to renew their contract with James early as soon as possible, as well as deal with Westbrook's contract before Irving arrives, and Westbrook's departure has entered the countdown. But that's a huge $47 million a year contract, which team is willing to take over? Another celebrity, Lj Ellis, revealed that the Spurs are willing to become a third-party team to participate in the Lake Net deal. Earlier, the Spurs also clarified that they were not interested in Ayton and would rather take over the bad contract than sign him.
But how do you do that? Isn't that? Us media Bleacher Report reported that the three-party transaction plan has been released, the specific content is as follows:
The Lakers sent Westbrook and a first-round pick, getting Irving and McDermott;
The Nets sent Irving and got Pelter;
Spurs sent McDermott and Peltel to westbrook and a first-round pick;
It seems that they have suffered a big loss, but the Spurs are actually hiding a high move
When the Spurs successively DeRozan and Murray, the team has enough salary space to eat Westbrook's big contract, and the 2-for-2 deal plan seems to have become a big wrongdoer, but in fact it is a hidden trick. Do the Spurs want a championship? Of course, but the goal at the moment is to rebuild rather than rush to the championship, and the first thing you want to get is the first-round pick. It should be known that the Rockets relied on this move to get the leader Jaylen Green and Tanhua Jabari Smith, and gradually completed the construction of the team's future core structure, popovich is obviously stealing Stone.
As for the fate of Wei Shao? If you are not hidden by the spurs, you may encounter the fate of being bought out. After all, the Spurs don't want a record, but are trying to mess up the hot Wenban Yama, who is trying to compete for next year's draft, and it is said that it is likely to be the next Duncan.
