Chapter 267 Shocking team! Wholesale galactic battleship!
In addition to Jordan, the Knicks also have Ewing, one of the four major centers, CIC Alan Houston, 'Big Mom' Larry Johnson, sixth man John Starks, Kurt Thomas, Charlie Waugh Declas Childs and many other fighters.
In Dolan's first full season with the Knicks, he built a galactic battleship that New York never had!
Even if he spends tens of millions of dollars more every year for this warship!
For a time, Dolan became the hero, super boss and savior of the whole New York City, no one ever said that he was a useless second-generation ancestor and a drug addict!
Even the New York Times reported that a Batman mask was added to Dolan's head.
To describe his contribution to New York is as irreplaceable as Batman!
Two days later, Dolan made persistent efforts as if money did not need money, and he won the second overall pick of the 1996 class, and the defensive expert Marcus Camby, who averaged 3.7 blocks per game the previous year!
Camby's salary this year is not high, but only $3 million, but the reason why he asked to leave the Toronto Raptors was because he could not reach an agreement with the team on a contract extension.
But the first time Camp arrived in New York, Dolan asked Campby to offer Campby a five-year, $4,003.1 million contract extension, allowing Campby to sign the contract and fight in New York with his life!
If the Celtics' new lineup is the problem children's army.
Then the galactic battleship formed by the Knicks reveals the words rich and powerful everywhere!
Patrick Ewing 18 million, Jordan 15 million and 30 million in taxes, Larry Johnson 10 million, Starks and Houston can also get 7 million each.
Coupled with Camby's 3 million this year, a new $8 million contract that will start next year.
Just this year and next year, the Knicks will hand over more than 120 million luxury tax!
Managers across the league swallowed hard at Dolan's way of playing with money like paper.
So jealous!
What manager doesn't want to work under a boss who doesn't take money for money?
With such a great right to spend money, even the grandmothers of the managers can come up with a galactic battleship!
New York City's one-pass operation brought together the internal and external double-star combination of Jordan + Ewing, and immediately made their winning odds surpass the Celtics and top the list!
However, Dolan's excitement and the Knicks' top spot didn't last long.
After the two teams in the East showed their operations and threw out the money in a row, another giant team in the league also started their moves!
The Los Angeles Lakers first renewed the contract of Rick Fox, then packaged Fox and Eddie Jones, and then signed and exchanged for another member of the Bulls.
Scott Pippen!
Pippen signed a 4-year, 52-million-dollar contract, bid farewell to the child labor contract that endured the peak of his career, and came to Los Angeles, the city of angels. Pippen just felt refreshed and determined to Here, come up with a big business!
The Bulls lost two of their iconic figures in a row within 3 days, and the rebuilding of the team is inevitable.
Fat Klaus finally achieved his wish and got a chance to prove himself, a chance to win the championship without Jordan Pippen!
Then, the Lakers released the biggest king bomb of the offseason this season!
They used backup center Eldon Campbell and the signing rights of this year's 26th overall pick, the 1999 first round, the 2001 first round and the 2003 first round, a total of four first round picks, and went to the Utah Jazz for a total of four first round picks. Here comes their team spirit, second in last year's MVP list, second in scoring list, super power forward: Karl Malone!
You know, Malone was still the MVP in 1997, and the 1999 MVP in history is also him!
This is a well-deserved top five in the league and the best power forward!
The Galaxy battleship of the Lakers is also reloaded on the road!
The Lakers gave up Eddie Jones and Van Exel, two All-Star backcourts. Among them, Van Exel was even given up directly by Jerry West without trying to trade him for any assets.
But at the same time, the Lakers got two really real top stars!
Coupled with O'Neal in the team and Kobe Bryant in his formative years, Los Angeles also has its own Big Four combination!
Coupled with such powerful players as Robert Horry, Derek Fischer, and Derek Harper, the competition for the Western Championship was almost over at the same time as the deal was announced, and the prizes could be distributed directly!
It seems that these king bombs are not shocking enough.
Jerry West gave everyone another shot after the deal was announced.
He announced that the team dismissed the coach Harris, and the replacement candidate was Phil Jackson, who had just ended his contract with the Bulls and resumed his free agency!
In order to show sincerity, the Lakers offered Phil Jackson a super salary of more than 10 million!
You must know that in this era, the salary of coaches is generally between 1 million and 3 million US dollars. If it can reach 5 million, there is only one Pat Riley in the whole league.
Phil Jackson doubled that record in one fell swoop!
Phil Jackson is also in Los Angeles, reuniting with Pippen!
Only this time, they didn't have Jordan.
But they have a kid who has a 9-point resemblance to Jordan!
Kobe Bryant!
West thought of Kobe Bryant, who had no rest and kept training all summer, and was full of hope for the next season!
In particular, Kobe and Lin Long practiced together for nearly 2 months. Before the trade, West made a special trip to get Eddie Jones and Kobe to have a 1-on-1 match.
The result of the game was a complete crush, and Kobe didn't give the seniors any chance to fight back.
The 11-point game was played in three innings, and Eddie Jones scored only 7 points in total. Kobe Bryant won the victory cleanly.
It was also this one-off that made West make up his mind and trade Jones!
On the first day Pippen came to Los Angeles to report, West gave him a task: one-on-one with Kobe!
Non-stop one-on-one, he wants Kobe to adapt to the league's top defense as soon as possible.
West wants Kobe Bryant to be selected as an All-Star starter next year, with strength rather than flow!
The Lakers and Knicks have both completed the formation of their Galaxy battleships this offseason. If you add the Celtics with several top players, the NBA next season will be full of highlights!
Who can sink each other among the three aircraft carriers, and have the last laugh, is worth everyone's expectation!
While 363 fans rejoiced and small teams happily held calculators to calculate how much luxury tax they could get next season, in San Antonio, Popovich and Buford shook their heads and sighed bitterly.
They waited a whole week in Indiana.
Don't talk about poaching Miller, they didn't even have a word with Miller seriously!
This hard-bone guy doesn't care what trouble other teams make, he just wants to stay in Indiana!
Even if the fans once shouted in unison in the Eastern Conference semifinals: "IS-OK! YOU-CAN-GO!
Miller didn't even want to leave.
When you treat me with a countryman, I will repay it with a countryman!
Buford said: "Just last week, our lineup was still some of the best in the West, and this week was crushed by the Lakers. Greg, do you think we can beat the Lakers?"
"You can't win." Popovich shook his head very simply: "Although basketball is not mathematics, in front of absolute talent, everything is wasted, RC, in fact, I have always had an idea. 35
"San Antonio is a small place, free agents, big names, they don't even think about it, how about a different way of thinking instead of us continuing to waste Tim and David's careers here?"
"Another way of thinking?" Buford didn't understand what Popovich meant.
"Go to Europe, go to South America, go to Africa, go to Asia! Go find the next Lin Long, Olajuwon or Mutombo! We go to 19-year-old Sabonis and Kukoc, we go unnoticed Small leagues and small countries, France? Argentina? I'm sure there's someone we're looking for there!"
