Larry Hughes, Thomas, Raheem, and Miller have big contracts expiring together, freeing up $40 million in salary space.Wang Jun and James accounted for more than 40 million, the salary cap for the 20102011 season was 58.04 million, and the luxury tax threshold was set at $70.3 million.After sending away Garcia and Udry, the Kings are now a bunch of base salaries plus rookies, and the only extra one is Kevin Martin, who has an annual salary of just 10 million.Martin doesn't want to play off the bench, and the Kings don't have a suitable trade partner for the time being, so they want to find a veteran with playoff experience, or trade for a future draft pick to free up salary space.This year, there are the most "big fish" in the free market, and many people are waiting and seeing, but there is a choice.Wade, Bosh, and Anthony are definitely not going to take a pay cut, and no matter how good the relationship is, it's useless, so it's impossible to find a superstar, unless you sign and then pay the luxury tax, and the Kings don't want to overdraft the future in order to hit next season's championship.The uniform team led by Jeff Petri didn't have a good idea yet, and Celtics manager Angie called first and asked for a trade.Ray Allen's contract expired, and he was unwilling to renew his contract with the Celtics, wanting to hit the championship in the last year of his career.Anji's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to persuade him to sign first and then change, and Aaron agreed.The Celtics want to sign Ray Allen for 2 years and 16 million, plus a 2011 first-round pick, in exchange for Martin.Ray Allen is the oldest of the Big Three, now 35 years old, and he is almost ready to retire and must hurry up to fight for a ring.In the team, Ray Allen is unsociable, doesn't like to talk trash, can't afford to joke, not only has a general relationship with Rondo, but also doesn't talk much to Garnett.When it comes to the Big Three, the media always says that Ray Allen is the worst, and some fans think that he is not as good as Rondo, because Rondo can get a triple-double and grab rebounds.After playing for four years and failing to win the championship, Ray Allen didn't think he owed anything to the Green Army, and he didn't go straight away.However, Ray Allen is also smart not to mention the conflict with Rondo.If he is unhappy with his teammates and leaves the team, then this will prove that he is unpopular in the team, and the next family will also suspect that there is something wrong with his character.Of course, Ray Allen is willing to join the Kings, put aside the identity of a giant and be a sixth man, there is no pressure, and it is possible to win the championship.He has been competing with Wang Jun and James for many years, and he knows how much energy these two can explode together.Management did not need to analyze and unanimously approved the deal.Swan immediately called to tell Wang Jun the good news, and he was stunned to hear that Ray Allen was coming.Wang Jun knows that Ray Allen is not a simple pitcher, but can also attack with the ball, if he takes the bench, the second team offense is not bad, eight million is not expensive, and it is only two years, at the age of 37, whether he leaves or stays, he can free up salary space.Wang Jun called James again.James shouted: "They got Ray Allen to the king, it's not a joke" "Why am I joking, the price is good, 16 million for two years is not expensive, it is considered to give him enough respect, he wants the championship, and he asked for a trade." ”James laughed: "Does this mean that the four best three-point shooters in the league are already in the Kings, I can't believe it." ”Wang Jun, Peja, Ray Allen, and Curry, who scored the most threes last season, are not the strongest four Even if they are the least famous, Curry, who has not won a three-point king on a star weekend, has a shooting percentage of 43 is also terrifying.James' confidence in winning the championship has skyrocketed again, if he can't win the championship like this, he and Wang Jun will find a place to commit suicide together."
The deal is finalized in a few days, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how those guys will react."
Wang Jun said with a smile.A day later, the Kings and Celtics traded, with Ray Allen and Martin swapped and the Green picked for a salary reciprocal pick.Looking at the data, it seems that Martin is better, averaging 235 points, 32 rebounds, 25 assists and 1 steal per game, but in fact, Martin has never played in the playoffs.Ray Allen is more versatile, and once he's hot, he's a superstar.The media went crazy directly, and experts predicted that the Lakers' new season would be dangerous and that it would be more difficult to defend the title.The Kings now have a much better roster than the Celtics last season.David Stern is also crazy.What is this going to do to form a super three-point team, the veteran All-Star 2004 Lakers enhanced version, he still can't stop it, the Kings don't have any illegal transactions, and the veterans are all willing to take a pay cut to join.In just half a month, so many veterans have voted because of the charm of Wang Jun and James, and too many people feel that they have a future with them.This is not the end, James called someone and first found "Big Z" Ilgoskas, and the old friend immediately expressed his willingness to join the Kings with a base salary.Last season, "Big Z" was traded to the Wizards, was immediately cut, and then returned to the Cavaliers to play alongside James.Only one day later, James called another acquaintance, and he became even more famous.Tracy McGrady volunteered $1 million to join the Kings and challenge for a championship.After playing half a season with the Knicks, he knew he couldn't get back to the top and was willing to come off the bench.Maddie has been in poor shape since surgery in 2009, and his physical fitness has deteriorated, averaging 94 points and 39 assists per game.He's terrible at shooting, he's still playmaking, and as long as he doesn't shoot too much, he'll be a good substitute.Of course, the Kings management will not refuse Maddie, his joining can attract many fans, even if he can't play, his popularity is still very high, especially in China, where there are a large number of "maltose".The commercial value of the old stars cannot be reflected in the data, these people get together, no matter where they go, the game is full of spectators.On July 18, several big-name veterans appeared in Sacramento together, showing off their jerseys and giving interviews."
I'm confident that the Kings will win the championship and I'm ready to do whatever position I play and how much minutes I play," Peja said. ”Maddie smiled sleepily: "With James and Wang Jun, is there still suspense about the championship, we will be the strongest team." ”Ray Allen said the simplest: "It's all about the championship, some people say I betrayed Celtic, I don't think so, I know what I want.Will anyone else stay with the Celtics until they retire," Ray Allen blocked in the face of the media, and Garnett couldn't refute it.Yes, will Garnett stay with the Celtics until he retires and others come to help the Green Army win the championship, he and Pierce, Rondo, and Martin can be in Garnett's state, even if he wants to stay until he retires, the Green Army may not be willing to renew his contract.With more than two months to go until the new season, Kings fans can't wait, and the Kings squad has now been confirmed.Centre-forwards: Brad Miller, Ilgoskas, Hassan Whiteside.Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, Tejibson, Jerebko.Small forwards: James, Maddy, Stojakovic.Shooting guards: Wang Jun, Ray Allen, James Posey.Point guards: Curry, Bibby, Jason Williams.Williams, Posey, and Big Z are non-guaranteed contracts, but they will not be cut.The three veterans were called in by the stars, and the management would not be so tasteless.Barring an accident, these fifteen will compete in the new season:
