Chapter 912 Union Turbulence
In September, a tumultuous offseason began.

First, about the small winds and waves of the Timberwolves, Yost Ziegler accepted the Lakers' three-year offer of 3 million and signed a contract with them.

Spanoulis signed a three-year, $2100 million extension with the Timberwolves.

Beasley tried the free market to no avail, and accepted the Timberwolves' offer of 2 million for 400 years.

Then, the Timberwolves signed Chauncey Billups and Elton Brand with two veteran minimum salaries.

Then, there is the big event of the turbulent alliance.

First of all, Ray Allen, one of the Celtics' Big Four, announced that he would join the rival Miami Heat, which caused a worldwide uproar.

The "Burning Renegade Ray Allen's Jersey" campaign was launched in Boston, and the sales of Junzijian's jerseys once surpassed Pierce.

These are the hors d'oeuvres for this summer, with the real earthquake just around the corner.

The farce between Anthony and the Nuggets began last year, and last year, the trade happened just before the door.

This summer, the Nuggets are determined to eliminate the uneasy factors in the team. (Note: In reality, this transaction took place in 2011)
Anthony's transfer soap opera has finally come to an end.Yesterday, local media in Denver confirmed for the first time that the Nuggets had reached an agreement with the Knicks, and Anthony officially joined New York.

And this is just the beginning.

In mid-September, the Lakers traded Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom for Chris Paul. (Note: In reality, the Clippers traded in the 11-12 season)

While the fans were discussing "Kobe + Paul, what level will the Lakers be next season?", the Lakers made another big move.

In a three-team trade, the Lakers packaged draft picks and Andrew Bynum for Dwight Howard.

"KB+ CP3+ Dwight? Are you embarrassed to say that you are the favorite for the championship if you don't form a super team now?"

"I am now very much looking forward to the White Wolf joining Boston to form a new generation of Big Four."

"Fuck your shit, the white wolf will only stay in Apolis and won't go anywhere!"

"If he stays in Apolis, White Wolf is doomed to miss the championship in this life."

"Who holds seven championship rings is rare champion?"

Some people used the slogan that Bai Jidong left Minnesota to gather in Boston with his old comrades to fuel the flames, but the ruthless Danny Ainge was determined to tear down the already uncompetitive Celtics.

Another deal was made, and while it had nothing to do with the league structure, it was still a huge deal.

The Celtics traded McGrady to the Eagles, completely ending the era of the Big Four.

In recent years, McGrady has been plagued by injuries and is hard to return, slipping from the peak.

McGrady's decline has affected the Celtics' season deployment.

McGrady's departure heralded the end of the era of the Big Four. During the four years of forming the Big Four, the Celtics reached the finals twice. Although they did not win the championship, they were equally great.

The curtain fell during the offseason, leaving only the White Wolf who has not yet decided to belong.

Recently, the Timberwolves and the White Wolves started contract renewal negotiations.

Bai Jidong was sitting in David Kahn's office, listening to their talk.

Kahn spent an hour telling Bai Jidong how many benefits it would be to stay.It took another hour to tell him how much he loved the Timberwolves, and finally, he came up with the written contract they had drawn up.

Bai Jidong glanced at the contract, to be honest, he was a little moved.

The team gave him a super maximum salary.You know, he is about to turn 36 years old, and his decline is inevitable. For a veteran like him, any team should be cautious.

The Timberwolves wanted to keep him regardless of the consequences.

Kahn spent an hour telling Bai Jidong how many benefits it would be to stay.It took another hour to tell him that his existence was of extraordinary significance to the Timberwolves and even the entire Minnesota, and finally, they took out the written contract they had drawn up.

Bai Jidong could have put a pen and signed his name on this contract, he could have done so, but in the end, he didn't.

If he signs this contract, in the next four years, the Timberwolves' salary space will be locked up, unable to reinforce, and it will be difficult to continuously sign major players.

"I'm very grateful." Bai Jidong put down the contract, "but I don't accept it."

Kahn was taken aback, this was the highest offer they could come up with.

"Too much." Bai Jidong's words made Kahn almost fall over.

The next day, the Timberwolves officially announced: The White Wolf signed a 4-year 1 million contract and officially renewed it.

"During this turbulent summer, the contract extension of the White Wolf gave me great comfort. I don't want to know who will be the champion next year. For me, this man decided to stay in Minnesota, and that's enough."

"White Wolf finally returns to Mingzhou! #Historybest"

The moment he signed the new contract, Bai Jidong seemed to be able to see the situation four years later.

If there are no accidents, this will be his last contract.

At this time, four years later, he will be 39 years old.

A 39-year-old man, no matter how much he likes basketball, he might not be able to persist.

Bai Jidong didn't dare to think about playing until his 40s like Robert Parrish and Old Willis.

"came back."

Dinner was already prepared at home, Bai Jidong saw a few more pairs of chopsticks on the table.

"Have guests?" Bai Jidong asked.

"En." Chu Meng nodded.

"Who?"

"Taylor."

Ok?
Bai Jidong's body stiffened, "Taylor? Why all of a sudden..."

Chu Meng said: "It's nothing, I invited her here, and she wants to bring Little Bender with her, haven't you seen him?"

Bai Jidong always felt that Chu Meng was weird, and there was something in his words.

I hope I'm thinking too much... Bai Jidong is very guilty.

Tek wore only light makeup tonight, and she actually looked a bit like she did in "Lord of the Rings."

During the meal, Bai Jidong couldn't say a word, only Chu Meng and Taylor were talking.

Bai Jidong didn't know when they got along so well, Taylor never told him.

"It turns out that the dumplings I ate in this restaurant were all inferior, it's disgusting." Taylor said.

Chu Meng said: "After all, tastes are different. They made some changes to make it more acceptable to the people here."

"Why change? The original dumplings are more delicious."

Bai Jidong can hardly sit still, why do they have so many topics in common?He really couldn't figure it out.

"Wow wow..." Bai Jidong heard Bai Qing crying happily.

The cry was like a boat leading him out of the sea of ​​suffering, Bai Jidong got up and said, "I'll go and see."

"Mondolia, won't you tell him?" Taylor asked.

Chu Meng drank some wine, "I can't say it."

"Thank you anyway."

If it were Taylor himself, if he found out that his husband had a mistress outside and gave birth to a child, he would never behave so calmly, let alone invite the other party to dinner at home, and plan a plan that would not hurt anyone. to a way to resolve this matter.

"No, I don't like you, but things have developed to this point, and I don't want to affect my family because of it, and I don't want to affect him because of it."

Chu Meng said: "So, I will try my best to accept you and keep him under strict supervision..."

"I still don't know how to tell him...you came here for nothing today," Chu Meng said.

"It's okay, if you need my help, please just ask." Taylor said.

After waiting for so many years, is it still half a hour away?

After eating, Taylor found that his car had a flat tire, and Chu Meng asked Bai Jidong to take her home.

"Your tire was punctured by me." After getting into the car, Bai Jidong said.

"Why did you do that?" Taylor asked.

"Only in this way can I send you home." Bai Jidong said. "Why are you so close to Mondoria?"

"Well..." Taylor laughed. "This is a secret among our women."

"Can't I even say that?"

"No."

In October, the preseason training camp officially started.

Bai Jidong met two old friends, Billups and Brand.

"Chauncey, I really didn't expect that we would become teammates." Bai Jidong laughed.

Eight years ago, the two led their respective teams to meet in the Finals.

Later, the aging Billups was traded by the Pistons, just like his previous career.

Eight teams, five trades, injuries, doubts... Chauncey Billups' NBA road was not smooth, but all these happened to piece together one of the most exciting and ups and downs careers in NBA history.

Billups wrote his own "story from wandering to legend": from the glorious lottery pick at the beginning to the "draft failure", from the role player at the beginning to "Mr. Big Heart".

For Billups, a leader player who is respected by the league and his teammates, few people can imagine that his career will be so tortuous: he has moved to eight teams, and now it seems that the Timberwolves should be the starting point of his career. The last stop.

At every stop, Billups learns something new. He was traded five times and even pardoned once; Playing alongside Kevin Garnett, Carmelo Anthony, Lloyd Daniels, he's been through anything and everything one could imagine or imagine - it's all about the 36-year-old Incalculable value.

The other, the former captain Brand, Bai Jidong's impression of him is that he represented the US team and lost to China in 06...

Apart from those top picks in parallel imports, Brand can definitely run for the list of "The Most Unexistent Top Scholar".

When Brand retires, he may soon be forgotten.

There will also be very few idlers who will find out when looking at the data, hey, who is this guy who can contribute 20+10 steadily?

"Yeah, life is full of surprises," Brand said. "This result is not bad, at least I don't listen to your trash talk anymore."

"You are wrong, even if you are my teammate, I will still talk trash to you, we are a team, the more trash talk to you, the better our chemistry." Bai Jidong confused Talk about it.

Brand and Billups looked at each other and parted ways.

"Oh, don't go, I haven't finished yet, why are you so rude!"

In addition, Medved also returned.

However, Medved's current appearance makes people not have any expectations.

According to the doctor's report, Medved has now recovered, but he ate and drank a lot during the offseason, and his weight has reached 130KG, and his body has gone straight to O'Neill's old age.
