Make 240 million a day, and give up early next season! The smart NBA team seems to have miscalculated the league

Basketball

This season has just ended with the Thunder’s championship, and the crazy drama of the offseason has begun. Durant's delivery to the Rockets is just the overture. In the past two days, the Lakers have been pursuing Kessler and Wiggins, and Irving has also taken the initiative to cut his salary and chose a three-year, $119 million contract renewal. Famous reporter Charania also confirmed that since Lillard needs 8-10 months of recovery, he will not be able to return until next season's playoffs as soon as possible. Under this situation, rumors that Antetokounmpo may leave the team are emerging again. It is not necessarily that Antetokounmpo wants to leave on his own initiative, mainly because the Bucks really have no other way. The current lineup framework really cannot support the upper limit of the championship, and there is no spare effort to strengthen the lineup. Only the potential trading Antetokounmpo can go.

But the most ruthless and smartest team must be the Celtics. This season's regular season win, the Knicks blocked the Eastern Conference Finals goal by the Knicks in the playoffs. With Tatum's Achilles tendon ruptured, the Celtics did not unexpectedly choose to rebuild the team. In just one day, the team sent Holiday and Porzingis away one after another. Send Holiday back to the Trail Blazers in exchange for Anthony Simmons + two second round picks; complete a three-party deal with the Hawks + Nets, sending the Posses to the Hawks in exchange for Nian + one second round pick. In the two deals, the Celtics received 4.8 million and 22 million transaction exceptions respectively, taking this opportunity to save 27 million in salary + $210 million in luxury tax. It is equivalent to making 240 million in one day.

is not over yet! Famous reporter Charania confirmed that the Celtics' next trading goal is to substitute Hauser, who had signed a four-year, $45 million contract with the Celtics, with three seasons left. In addition, White and MVP Jaylen Brown of last season's finals were also lined up. In the words of the team reporter Hamesbach, the management was very satisfied with the transaction results, but the overall morale within the team was low. The former boss cashed out at a high level, and the new boss increased revenue and reduced expenses. It is indeed understandable when Tatum is reimbursed in advance next season. Even US media analyzed that many teams are very interested in Jaylen Brown. His contract with a maximum salary of 240 million yuan in four years is indeed not small, but the outside world's offer for him makes it difficult for the Celtics management to refuse negotiations!

Simply put, the Celtics will give up early next season and stop playing. Regardless of whether Jaylen Brown is worth 5 first rounds or 6 first rounds, the team's president Stevens is indeed a god-like man. He will never be vague when he should strive for the championship. He will immediately overturn and start over when he should be bad! 22 years were exchanged for Derek White, 23 years were exchanged for Porzingis, and then sent Brogdon, Rowe and others away for Holiday, which led to the 24-year championship. But after the team's performance this season, Boss has been troubled by injuries and is useless. Holiday is old. The key is that Stevens saved them 240 million yuan while sending them away, and he also made two second round picks without any backlogs. He also got the younger Anthony Smith to lay the foundation for the future.

In this way, the Celtics can be at ease to train young people next season, such as Anthony Smith. In addition, the team strives to win another draft this summer. According to column reporter Bulpet, the Celtics will have operations in the draft. They are trying to trade a lottery draw. They want tall defender Acuzzonis, and their future partners Anthony Smith (averages 20.6 points, 5.1 assists and 3.2 three-pointers per game in the past two seasons) and Tatum. In addition, the team is likely to involve a trade swap between Jaylen Brown and Adebayo, continuing to increase the lineup limit for Tatum after his comeback. During this process, the Celtics did not lose anything, but a transition period from one peak to another.

But the alliance is going to miscalculate! In the past seven years, the season championships belong to 7 different teams, starting from the Raptors in 2019, the Lakers in 2020, the Bucks in 21, the Warriors in 22, the Nuggets in 23, as well as the Celtics in last season and the Thunder in this season. The first thing many teams have to do after winning the championship is to be forced to dismantle the team. This is the case with the Lakers, the Nuggets, and the Bucks. The alliance has entered the stage of blooming flowers, and there is no absolute overlord. Including after the Celtics were confirmed to rebuild next season, many teams in the Eastern Conference were eager to try. The Magic spent 4 first rounds + 1 first round to exchange Bain, and a whale fell into life. But the even more embarrassing problem is that as the veteran giants are on the decline, there are no more people paying attention to the playoffs.

Lakers James is old, Warriors Curry is old, Durant continues to join his new owner, the only golden signboard in the East, and he will make sure not to play next season in advance! The ratings of this season's finals have hit a new low in the past 15 years. Even if the league wants to win new players, there is no giants as a stepping stone. In other words, it may not matter who will eventually break through the siege in the East next season, and the West may eventually be a competition between the Thunder and the Rockets. If all teams in the league operate the team in the Celtics' way, the attention will plummet, but it is undeniable that the Celtics are indeed the most rational and smart team!
