I Don’t Want to be the Boss

I did not notice the shortcomings of Gerald Green before. After all, for a role player, Sun Ce usually looks at the opponent's strengths, thinking about whether the opponent's strengths are suitable for his own team.

And their Grizzlies have recovered their defense last season. It is not a big deal to drag a badly defensive forward player in some lineups, as long as the effect on the good side is greater than the side effect.

And only the basic salary.

But the base salary is because Gerald Green has many shortcomings, and those weak teams can slam dunks with him to improve game viewing. The team is slightly stronger, such as wanting to make the playoffs. Will never leave him again.

And most of the strong teams are not interested in players who are very functional but have too many shortcomings.

For the Grizzlies, this is just a choice for the third small forward or third shooting guard, and use it as the second small forward or second shooting guard during the shift.

After signing Gerald Green, Sun Ce estimated that the team would look for a defensive small forward or a forward swingman, and more importantly, a reliable backup point guard. They still have a $3.87 million a year. The mini middle class of the knife is useless.

Sun Ce's publicity journey continues, and the free market has also begun to enter a fiery stage after experiencing the wait-and-see period of the previous ten days.

The three situations where Love changed teams with David West and Larry Sanders, and the renewal of Aldridge and Lopez...gives a great reference for players with tens of millions of annual salary levels. .

It is not a player, but a team that begins to appear in the heavyweight substantive operation.

On July 12th, Sun Ce saw from the news that the Lakers officially thanked Boozer and Nick Young for their help during the 13-14 season championship tour, and wished Boozer a smooth future.

It means that he does not intend to renew the contract with the two. Sun Ce has a guess that the former Lakers coach Sr. Bickerstaff returns to the scouting department. The high probability is that the 23+24-core system will change. Leonard, who has an average of 20 points per game and is strong enough to win the best defensive player on the defensive end, will enter the room and form a new core combination with James, then the play will have a huge change.

Leonard is a restricted free agent. According to Sun Ce, Leonard will definitely renew his contract, because after the free market opened, Leonard’s agent and his second uncle had already rejected offers from multiple teams. There is no salary cap renewal for the previous season like Klay Thompson did, and there is a high probability that he will renew his contract with the salary cap of the new season.

But it hasn't been renewed yet... that means the Lakers are making room!

Boozer and Nick Young were not renewed, and only JR Smith was left with the Double Neuroknife.

But Kobe’s 20 million a year, James’s six-year contract last year also has $23.16 million, JR-Smith’s 5 million, plus Leonard’s bird rights and Motai Yunas’s contract... Sun Ce forgets. Even if the Lakers do not renew the contract temporarily, their salary is about 75 million dollars. This is still the limit before completing the renewal with Leonard.

What is enough space for?

Soon, Sun Ce knew the purpose of the Lakers...

On July 14, 2015, Google Sports columnist WOJ broke the news that the Lakers reached a deal with the Pacers with their expired contract and a 2018 lottery protection pick to get Roy Hibbert and Head coach Frank Vogel.

According to the details revealed, this 2018 draft pick, if not won that year, will become two second round picks in 18 and 19.

When Sun Ce saw this deal, he duly put a question mark in his head. Pacers general manager Larry Bird was kicked in the head by a donkey. Will he send the head coach to the Lakers?

But seeing the follow-up revelations, Vogel has been desperate for the Pacers. The management's wrong operation caused his years of hard work to be in vain. He was discouraged and had already submitted his resignation, even if the Pacers did not agree to his resignation. , Vogel will also leave when his contract expires in 2016.

Therefore, the Pacers chose to trade with the Lakers. With a high probability, they will become two protected first rounds signed in the second round. Hibbert’s 15 million dollar expiring contract was replaced with Nene’s 12 million. The contract expired, saving $3 million.

Seeing the news about Hibbert, Sun Ce couldn't help but sigh. Since the NBA defensive end rule changes took effect, Hibbert, who should have been at the peak of the 28-year-old last season, declined rapidly, averaging only 10 points, 7 boards and 1.6 blocks per game. The key is efficiency. In the 12-13 season and 13-14 season, Hibbert's defensive efficiency has broken 5 in the past two years, but only 3.1 last season...

As far as Hibbert's performance is, if they come to the Grizzlies, Sun Ce really thinks that this guy will get in the way as their backup center.

Slow and not good at character.

Soon after the deal between the Lakers and the Pacers was concluded, Sun Ce saw several signings that afternoon, and the Lakers had four.

Two-year renewal of Mike Miller for $4 million, one-year full middle class for $6.78 million, signed Cavaliers free agent Jeremy Lin, two-year special renewal of Ed Davis, special renewal of base salary for Tari K-Blake.

Subsequently, the Lakers, which have over-capped and used the middle-class contract, announced a five-year contract renewal of Leonard with a starting salary of $15.9 million and a total of $90 million.

Sun Ce saw the Lakers' operations these days, really wondering...Is this not in Kobe's final year of contention?

James, Jeremy Lin, Kobe, JR-Smith, Leonard, Ed Davis, Motai Yunus, Tariq Blake, Hibbert... the core combination of 10 people, the outside line is outrageously strong , But the inside line is so weak! Except for the pie, the big man in slow motion!

However, the free market has only been opened for less than half a month. The Lakers may be able to reinforce them, but although the Lakers’ salary has not exceeded 100 million, it is already the same as their Grizzlies. Only the basic salary exception can be used. What can be signed is not. A veteran is a functional player... Sun Ce really can't understand it!

Since his family took care of their own affairs, Sun Ce was puzzled and didn't delve into it. He would know when the new season came naturally.

Finally, in the afternoon of July 15th, Sun Ce's business activities finally ended!

Today, he also received good news. The team's one-year $1.5 million veteran basic salary signed Ramon Sessions, a speed-type point guard who averaged 9.9 points and 2.7 assists per game with the Kings last season!

Failed to win Brooks, Jeremy Lin, Wayne Ellington and others. There is no way. These players are young and it is impossible not to come to get the basic salary without a contract of several million. Sun Ce was originally unwilling to sign Sessions. With much hope, I think it is more likely to sign a veteran.

But the team really signed the speed point guard! And it's still pick and roll offensive!

After finishing the business activities, Sun Ce returned to the hotel. The last time he stood in his hometown of Chengdu for publicity activities, there was no home to go back... The main reason was that the two old men did not go back to China. The little grandson and the little granddaughter were just a few months old and needed someone to help Lily. -Collins took care of him. Zu Ge did not come back either. There was no one living there for a long time. Sun Ce could only stay in the hotel.

Sun Ce listed his team's latest lineup.

Point guards: Sun Ce, Sessions.

Shooting guards: Klay Thompson, Carter, Tony Allen.

Small forwards: Paul George, Gerald Green.

Power forwards: Randolph, Aldridge, Yi Jianlian, David West, Nance Jr.

Center: Gobert.

There are already 13 players, of which the power forward position exploded, 5 people.

But Sun Ce feels that today’s era should not be distinguished in this way. Like Randolph, he actually spent more time playing center last season. Of course, he defended the opponent’s center with enough tonnage to get stuck in the next game. Sun Ce or Larry was in the air. -Sanders handles.

Aldridge can also play center, and Yi Jianlian's running and bombing lineup is also a center.

So the power forward position is actually not as bloated as it seems.

But, I really want to compare this year's 13-man activation roster, compared with last season, the gap is really not small!

There is too much difference in the rotation lineup, but there is something to look forward to. It is also the goal that Sun Ce will start to work hard for after a few days of rest in Los Angeles-progress!

His grandson, Paul George, and Klay Thompson ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will all turn 26 next season and begin to enter the golden period of their careers. This stage may be a stage where their strength is improving faster, and it is normal. The next stage in which the strength is significantly improved.

Perhaps their progress can make up for the weakening of the rotation.

Although it is unlikely to make up for it completely, their lineup is already good. The top five stars are still there and they are the biggest favorites to win the championship properly.

It’s just that Sun Ce finds it weird. Why can’t their mini middle class be used? Neither David West nor Sessions thought about the mini middle class?

Sun Ce and Chris Wallace also talked about this topic, and Chris Wallace also found it strange.

Since the family did not return to China together, even Zu Goose was busy with the exams in the first half of next year. He started to review and wanted to lose weight. He did not come back. Sun Ce booked a flight ticket for tomorrow and had to set off for Shanghai in the evening. Airplane, training is about to begin soon.

The arena, trainers, physical therapists, nutritionists... These Stockton and Bill Duffy have been settled, and Sun Ce can train in the past.

The preparation he has to do is the arrangement of training content.

S-level designated type lottery cards, S-level core strength training cards, and the blessings of legendary superstars in random locations...Sun Ce decided to look at the random position first, and then decided in addition to the required S-level core strength training cards for the next two months , Which card to use.

With a thought, the system prompts.

"The host uses a special card: the blessing of a legendary superstar in a random location, random use...

Sun Ce looked at the random flashing apertures that appeared on the screen of the system. It should be a moving picture showing the technical movements of the players in five positions. When the flashing stopped, Sun Ce was silent...

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special card: the blessing of the legendary center."
