was to solve the big contract of Alan Houston in the Knicks.
Therefore, the amnesty clause is also called the “Alan Houston Clause.”
It’s just that
the Knicks did not use this clause on Houston, but used it on a role player “junk dog” Jerome Williams who only had an annual salary of 7 million.
So now they face the big problem of Francis and Marbury. They couldn’t change the contract, so they were forced to buy it out like this.
Well, this operation is very Knicks.
In addition to these two, Jaylen Rose, who was previously traded to the Pacers, Eric Snow of the Cavaliers, David Wesley of the Celtics, etc. have successively reached buyouts with their parent teams.
The alliance, which had been dormant for a short time, began to become restless again.
The only difference is that this time the initiative has shifted from the team to the players.
The two people who get the most attention.
Weber has attracted strong competition from the Pistons, Celtics, Nuggets, Nets, Spurs, etc.
Among them, the Celtics are chasing the most fiercely.
And you have to sigh, Angie is really a shrewd businessman.
Perhaps Webber himself didn’t expect that at the end of his career, he would be able to enjoy the feeling of being praised by more stars than at his peak.
So does Francis.
He has been holding back the Celtics’ mid-level exception this season, but now he is using it to chase Francis.
This also puts them in a leading position in the battle.
If they can finally get Francis, then the Celtics can say “I am invincible in the world.”
After training that day, Sun Hao and O’Neal sat on the sidelines chatting daily.
The two of them didn’t talk about whether they should recruit anyone.
Because if they really want to do that, the team will cut people to make room for them before the buyout deadline.
Otherwise, if we lay off people after the buyout deadline, we will suffer a lot.
Of course, the more important thing is that there is no one in the Lakers’ current lineup worth cutting.
Their mentality is still to watch theater mainly and chatting as a supplement.
“Where do you think Steve Francis will go?”
O’Neal asked the most interesting thing.
Sun Hao didn’t answer immediately this time. As a time traveler, he guessed wrong about Kobe Bryant’s previous transaction.
This Francis, he has to think about it.
“Boston.”
After thinking enough, Sun Hao gave his answer.
“Boston can offer bigger contracts and better opportunities.”
Sun Hao then gave his own reasons.
Originally, according to normal thinking, Francis was more likely to go to the Bulls.
Because Francis is a relatively emotional person, he went overboard for Yi Jianlian when he was with the Bulls.
It’s just that at the age of 29, Francis should not be willing to just play as a substitute.
When the Bulls had Paul, he had no chance at all.
On the other hand, in Boston, Rondo is still young, and Boykins may not have many opportunities in the playoffs due to his height.
So in comparison, Francis should be the most likely to go t
