Chapter 924 The Crazy Sun and the Suddenly Crazy Free Market!

Marion has always been the Heat's biggest target this offseason.

Pat Riley and the Heat did a lot to get Marion.

At first, they hoped to use O'Neal Jr. as a bargaining chip to exchange for Marion. The Suns have always played Stoudemire as a center and are still very short of centers. The Heat, on the other hand, have an overflow of centers and a shortage of small forwards.

In Pat Riley's view, such a deal is definitely a win-win situation. He has absolutely no intention of cheating the Suns this time.

Of course, that was Pat Riley's idea.

The sun has no such idea.

Just kidding? !

The Suns are preparing to rebuild, so what’s the use of an old man like you?

Little O'Neal is not Big O'Neal. If he wants a future, he has no future, and if he wants popularity, he has no popularity. If I want you, Little O'Neal, I might as well keep Marion.

Now that the Suns are preparing to rebuild, the team's veterans, except for Nash, are open to almost all teams in the league.

A past championship team has directly become a player supermarket.

The Sun is directly telling the world that they don't want to work hard anymore.

This disappoints Nash, disappoints Stoudemire, and disappoints all the Suns players.

After the disappointment, the Suns also blamed themselves. The Suns' record last season was too poor. The team spent so much money and retained all the main players who won the championship. The result in the end was really disappointing.

Therefore, the team owner and management feel that since the team has no hope of winning the championship with this team, it no longer has the salary space to maintain the championship, and it is time to rebuild.

Nash and Stoudemire, this is the sign of the sun, and they must not leave.

As for the others, there is no need to keep Dior, Marion, Lagabell, and Barbosa.

After these players won the championship, their wages were very high in order to keep them.

Laga Bell and Marion are a bit old, and Diaw's tactical function is too great. Since the team no longer plays the original tactics, why keep him? The Suns' new head coach Terry Porter doesn't need them at all.

The head coach of the Suns, Terry Porter, is not a head coach like D'Antoni. What kind of head coach is he? He is called a 'poor imitator of the Spurs' in the NBA. He places great emphasis on the strong play of the inside players. Very, very He hates three-pointers, running and gunning, and fast pace.

Trippo specifically said that Diaw doesn't like him, Nash, and Stoudemire don't like him either. O'Neal and Duncan are his true calling.

After the Suns failed last season, it was baffling to hire such a head coach with a completely opposite style from before.

In fact, if you think about it a little more, it's not so inexplicable. The run-and-gun and attacking Suns have come to an end, and the championship has been won.

Now it is obvious that playing with speed and three-pointers will be severely restrained by Western Conference teams such as the SuperSonics Lakers. If this is the case, then try another way.

It’s reconstruction anyway, and Nash and Stoudemire are not for sale now, but that doesn’t mean they will be in the future.

If Terry Porter proves that his path is indeed feasible, I'm afraid it won't be Marion, Laga Bell and Dio Barbosa who are traded.

Two years ago, the Sunshine Champions, which was at its peak, is now about to be demolished, and of course there are many people who respond.

The Suns' trade request to trade Diaw + Marion for O'Neal was ruthlessly rejected by the Cavaliers.

The Suns traded Marion, Stoudemire and Laga Bell, and Dio Barbosa to the Rockets for Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.

The Suns' trade application was ruthlessly rejected by the Rockets again.

After being ruthlessly rejected by the Cavaliers and Rockets, the Suns and Porter completely stopped thinking about finding a ready-made core to rebuild.

A big man who can play hard and support the entire team's offense is not something you can just trade if you want.

There is no other way but to cultivate it yourself.

So the Suns' goal became draft picks.

But how could a lottery team trade a veteran like Marion with a draft pick?

Those strong teams are willing to give draft picks, but the Suns don't like their draft picks.

So Taiyang's plan is to be a second-rate dealer.

Use these players to exchange for some relatively young players in their playing years, and then sell them for high draft picks after they perform well.

Marion's trade for Josh Howard of the Mavericks is the product of this line of thinking.

Replacement!

The Suns' current transaction is all about substitution.

The Suns have exceeded the luxury tax, and Josh Howard's salary is much lower than Marion. Not only can he save money, but Josh Howard may also be drafted higher in the future.

This is a perfect deal for the Suns.

Much better than the cheating deal the Heat made.

Mavericks is indeed a good brother of the Sun, and doing business with Mavericks is kind.

Nash was originally sent to the Suns, and now Josh Howard is sent to the Suns.

After sending Marion away.

Of course, the ones the Suns are going to send away immediately are Dior and Laga Belle.

If Barbosa is still young and can be kept for a while, then Laga Bell and Diaw must be sent away by the Suns immediately.

Both of them have high salaries, one is older and the other is not needed tactically.

Fortunately, both Charlotte Hornets are interested.

The Charlotte Hornets want to trade Jason Richardson and Dudley.

These two are younger, and their combined salary is also much less than that of Laga Bell and Diaw. For the Suns, which exceed the luxury tax bottom line, 1 million less is equivalent to a saving of 2 million.

So, after the Suns acquired Josh Howard in exchange for Marion and the Mavericks.

Almost on the same day, the Suns traded LaGabell and Diaw to the Charlotte Hornets for Jason Richardson and Dudley.

On this day, the entire NBA seemed to be flooded by the crazy sun!

For many people watching the show, these two transactions for the Heat's reconstruction are very good.

Successfully replaced older players with younger players, and the players' strength was not lost.

It's hard to say how much better Marion is than Josh Howard.

It’s also hard to argue that LaGabell and Diaw are better than Dudley and Jason Richardson.

But the other party is younger.

If nothing else is considered but value, these are certainly two very good deals.

But obviously, for the Suns' current players, that's not the case at all.

"This guy Terry Porter is crazy!"

"The Suns' management also went crazy with him!"

At Nash's home, several Suns star players sat together.

Marion, Dior, and Laga Belle had wry smiles on their faces.

They never thought that they would leave the sun like this.

He also won the championship for the team, look at Barea from the SuperSonics next door.

No wonder ESPN conducted a survey of the entire league and found that 90% of NBA players want to become SuperSonics players.

Let’s not talk about Marion’s deal for now.

This deal between Dior and Laga Belle is too cold-blooded.

Damn it, send Dior and Laga Belle to the Hornets and Larry Brown's men. Damn it, don't you know how miserable Big Q was back then?

If he hadn't been saved by Yes, Quentin Richardson would have been ruined by Larry Brown!

Lagabell was lucky. When the deal was completed, Dior even felt that his legs were shaking.

He felt like his whole life was over.

"Boris, I can already foresee that in five years, you will become a big fat man with injuries all over your body. Larry Brown will destroy you like Big Q!"

Dior almost cried, all he could think of was that smiling and lean figure. Before Da Q went to the New York Knicks, he was so smiling and lean. After slipping under Larry Brown, he became completely Distorted.

It’s not a change, it’s a deformation!

Dior can't even imagine what he will look like if he becomes fatter now.

He is no longer thin, can he still run in the NBA in the future?

He is still young and he does not want to retire prematurely...

"Big Q is also 29 years old now. He is still very young. Now except for three-pointers, he seems to be retiring."

"..."

Dio really wanted to cry this time.

"Amar, please stop scaring Boris."

Hearing Stoudemire constantly scaring Diaw like this, Nash was dumbfounded.

The Suns have said they will rebuild this season, and Nash has always felt that the extent of the rebuilding should not be too great.

But what he really didn't expect was that the Sun's reconstruction would be so ferocious.

And so merciless.

The deal between Laga Bell and Diaw made Nash very, very sad.

After Porter took over the team, Nash felt that the Suns had completely changed.

Changed from top to bottom, inside and out.

As a veteran who has been in the NBA for 13 years, Nash felt as if his heart had been drained dry at this moment.

He's struggling now.

The way the Suns are rebuilding now is a complete route reconstruction. In other words, he and Stoudemire are not for sale now, and that is to appease the fans.

Sooner or later, he and Stoudemire will be sent away by the sun.

In fact, Stoudemire has already been sent once, but the Rockets refused.

Now he is 35 years old. Originally, Nash was ready to live in the Suns forever, but he never expected that it would end up like this.

"Steve, as you can see the way the team is now, I'm already planning to get out of my contract in 2010 anyway. I think if you discuss terminating the contract with the Suns now, they will definitely agree. After all, it is written in your contract that as long as If you agree to terminate the contract, they only need to pay half of your salary, which saves them more than ten million US dollars."

Just when Nash felt that his heart had been drained by the series of operations by the Suns, Stoudemire's words directly stung the most depressed part of Nash's heart.

Because he learned the playing style of the great teacher, he became famous in the NBA.

But the second point guard in history, the honor of success did not bring him any money.

His teammates all received big contracts because of the championship.

His previous contract with an average salary of 10 million US dollars was due to expire in 2010. In other words, he is still holding a cabbage-price contract.

As a 35-year-old veteran with little trade value, it is naturally impossible for other teams to give him a big contract. His only expectation for a big contract is that the Suns give him a huge pension contract.

But in the deal between Laga Bell and Diaw, the Suns sent the team's championship hero to such a garbage team just to save a few million in luxury tax.

Will the Suns give him a contract like the Lakers gave him a pension contract worth hundreds of millions?

Nash was willing to believe it before, but now, he really can't believe it.

There is only one year left in his contract with the Suns. According to the time, the Suns should politely give him a pension contract recently.

The size of the contract determines the Suns' attitude towards Nash.

Therefore, in response to Stoudemire's merciless revelation, Nash just shook his head with a wry smile and anguish.

Seeing Nash like this, Stoudemire snorted very unhappy.

The team is like this, but Steve actually still has expectations for this team!

The sun’s melons are so big this summer that Ye Si can’t take his eyes off them.

He really didn't expect that Marion, the Thousand Mile Pot in his heart, would be sent away by the sun.

Laga Bell and Diaw, two championship heroes, were actually sent to a garbage team like the Charlotte Hornets.

Seeing this series of operations by the Suns, the players on the Seattle SuperSonics team once again compared the operations of the SuperSonics on Barea, Kwame Brown, and David Lee, and suddenly felt how lucky they were.

They are all champions, but sometimes championships are really not that inviolable to a team.

"Maybe the only inviolable player in the Suns is Nash."

Ingalls sighed.

Almost at the same time Ingalls sighed.

The sun hit his face hard and swollen it.

"The latest news, the Phoenix Suns offered Steve Nash, the greatest point guard in NBA history, a contract worth 22 million in two years!"

22 million in 2 years? !

Seeing this contract in the news, Yeez and the SuperSonics players were really shocked.

On the other side of the news, the contract the Lakers gave Kobe Bryant was 150 million for five years!

Both were born in 1996. Even though Nash is older, Nash's condition and statistics last season were at their peak. The two have similar historical status and league status, but this comparison is simply blinding.

"Is the sun crazy?!"

Harden's voice was trembling a little. It was clear that he was forcing Nash to leave!

"Could it be?!"

Yeas and the SuperSonics players did not wait long. After the Suns gave Nash this humiliating contract, Nash held a personal press conference.

"Although it is a pity, I still want to tell everyone that I have negotiated to terminate the contract with the Suns. The Suns can finally break free from the luxury tax. This is the last contribution I can make to the Suns. I'm sorry, I broke my promise and I want to leave. ”

Nash's eyes were red, but there was a smile on his face, while the two lovely daughters next to him were silently wiping away tears.

The Phoenix reporters and Suns fans in the audience were like chickens.

Nash has given everything to the Suns over the past few years.

Now, even the shortcomings of the luxury tax need to be filled with Nash's multi-million contract? !

This is too much!

For a time, the anger of both the Phoenix media and the Suns fans almost reached the top of their heads.

"The sun is really crazy!"

As Nash's press conference ended, Stoudemire's press conference on the other side began almost at the same time.

"I announced that I will quit my contract with the Suns in 2010 and will not renew my contract with the Suns. If the Suns are willing, next season will be my last season with the Suns. Of course, the Suns do not have to give me a season to say goodbye."

After Stoudemire's press conference, no one knew whether the Suns were crazy or not, but the Suns fans were absolutely crazy.

Even the entire alliance went crazy!

I thought Baria would be the biggest fish in this year's free market. Unexpectedly, two sharks suddenly got into the small pond where the carp was king!
