Chapter 2: Timberwolves' Reinforcement
(Ask for push tickets, ask for monthly tickets~)
After the start of the free market, the 30 teams in the league have started their own reinforcements, filling up their vacancies, but most of the teams are generally tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Whether the effect is good or not, it will take time Come to the test.
Facing the new season, the Timberwolves are naturally sharpening their swords. Last season, the Timberwolves made it to the playoffs. Whether they can continue their miraculous performance this season depends on the reinforcement measures in the summer. After all, in this league, competitors You have been strengthened, but you still maintain the original state. This is undoubtedly the same as sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat.
However, in the view of general manager McHale, the current lineup of the Timberwolves is very talented and has great potential for improvement. This summer, there is no need to make some big trading moves, just a small patch to maintain the original Some chemistry is fine.
The first move the Timberwolves made was to complete the renewal of the contract with Darko Milicic, the hero of last season's playoffs. A new four-year contract of 2000 million won the No. 03 pick of the [-] generation.
As soon as the contract extension was reached, the well-informed ESPN immediately made an evaluation. The column commentator Peter commented in this way:
"This is a very cost-effective contract extension. What the Timberwolves gave was only a four-year commitment, and they successfully captured the loyalty of the second place parallel importer. Indeed, for Dakomirisic, Stable playing is what he desires most!"
The contract salary given by the Timberwolves may not be high, but the win is as long as four years. For Milicic, who has wandered around multiple teams, the Minnesota Timberwolves are willing to give himself playing time and give him the tactical status he deserves. These are enough The second place in the list of "parallel imports" who has been discriminated against is deeply moved.
From the Motor City of Detroit to the ice and snow of Minnesota, what Milicic has experienced is something that any rookie is unwilling to bear.
However, what has been reached now is only a verbal agreement, and the specific contract renewal will not take effect until July 7.
"He's great, I think that was seen last season, he can adapt to the rotation between the four and the five, he's a good inside player, I think I'll pass a lot for him in the new season It's a good shot!" Li Shihao said when he was interviewed by the media.
The uncrowned kings always have a keen sense of public opinion. As soon as the news of Milicic’s contract renewal with the Timberwolves management came out, they immediately asked Li Shihao, who was still watching the game in Las Vegas. Obviously, in In their view, how the Timberwolves' young core evaluates the team's reinforcements is what they are interested in.
After a season of practice, Li Shihao has already become extremely proficient in speaking in public. He is already a top student in psychology, so he naturally has a good grasp of the scale of speaking.
As soon as the team sent out the signing news, he immediately expressed his praise for cooperation. However, in fact, it is indeed something to be happy that Darko Milicic can successfully renew his contract with the team. After all, he played against Dallas last season. , Milicic's outstanding performance is seen by everyone.
Then, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Miami Heat reached a deal in which the latter sent forward Michael Beasley in exchange for a 2011 second-round pick and a 2013 first-round pick.
After that, the Minnesota side fell silent, and it remained calm for more than half a month without any news, and it seemed to be peaceful.
Finally, on August 8th, the long-planned general manager McHale made another attack and first signed Golden State Warriors power forward Anthony Toliver. He chose to trade another forward player in the team, Ryan Hollins, and reached a deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, using Ryan Hollins in exchange for a 11 second-round pick.
The Cleveland Cavaliers had a very unhappy summer, and I am afraid that everyone in the world knows this!
Can the Royal Knights, who have experienced the departure of Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James, still be able to take on the word royal?
The answer is no, without LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers may no longer have some privileges in the league.
Ryan Hollins is an athletic center. On the offensive end, he can only score by picking up leaks. On the defensive end, he is even weaker. He can only defend against pick-and-rolls, and his rebounding and blocking skills are poor. Let him hold his ground in Cleveland.
For the head coach of the NBA, it is a good thing to have a player who plays dirty under his hands. After all, some accidents will always happen on the basketball court, and players like Ryan Hollins are born for this .
After LeBron James left, the Cleveland Cavaliers could no longer follow the previous path, and their road to reconstruction was even more difficult!
This deal can be said to be a win-win, and it is beneficial to both teams. The Timberwolves have enough inside singles. It's a good thing, and Cleveland also needs an athletic big man to fill the gap in the penalty area after O'Neal leaves.
Last season, Anthony Toliver was able to get 12+7 data from his former club, the Golden State Warriors. After coming to the Timberwolves, he can completely provide another firepower output point. important!
In the long season, the youth guard-type teams are most prone to misfiring offense and sluggish state. It is naturally the best to try to maintain the state of all the people as soldiers.
The next day, the Minnesota Timberwolves made another move, trading with the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, and New Jersey Nets. The Timberwolves paid Corey Brewer, Raymond Sessions, and a 2012 first-round pick for Trevor Ariza. The exchange came, and this deal involved four teams, each taking what they needed. In the end, the Minnesota Timberwolves got Trevor Ariza as they wished, and successfully upgraded the small forward position.
In the end, the Timberwolves reached a contract with free agent Luc Credno and signed the experienced veteran guard.
C center:
Marc Gasol, Darko Mirisic, Hassan Whiteside
PF power forward:
Kevin Love, Anthony Tolliver, Michael Beasley

At this point, the Minnesota Timberwolves' lineup for the new season has been completely formed. Whether the summer reinforcement deal is successful or not still needs to wait for the verification of the new season.
