"73-win Warriors plus Durant! No need to play the regular season next year, just hand them the championship trophy!"

"Damn, he really went to the Warriors, is the league not going to stop this?! Although the Pelicans are strong, these Warriors with four superstars, what the heck!"

"Be glad he didn't go to the Rockets; if he went to the Rockets, that would be a real four-superstar team, then they could really just hand them the championship!"

"Only an idiot would go to the Rockets, those three all play with the ball, is he going to be the fourth wheel?"

"That's true, although the Warriors have excellent records, they have a team system, Durant can directly be the boss when he goes!"

"Isn't he only going to be second at best? How little do you guys think of Curry!"

"Durant the Second? Σ(°△°|||)︴"

"You guys are so mean, but how are other teams going to play next year, the Warriors are already strong enough, plus the league's second-best small forward…"

"Durant said he already had the idea of joining the Warriors last year, how sad must Westbrook be feeling inside!"

"I gave you everything, but you were already thinking about cheating on me?"

"This is cheating! Scumbag Durant!"

"Condolences to the Turtle, condolences to the Thunder, the Thunder Four Youngsters are done for today!"

"It all started when they sent Harden away!"

"Shouldn't it all start from when Tang helped the Spurs beat the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals? (￣_，￣)"

"Speaking of which, David West signed too early!"

"He really is poisonous, he went to the Rockets, the Pelicans won the championship, now he went to the Pelicans, and the championship is mostly the Warriors' again…"

"Don't say anything else, Warriors championship!"

…

Fans on social media unanimously leaned towards the Warriors.

Neither the defending champion Pelicans, nor the Big Three Rockets, nor the Cavaliers led by James, were a match for the Warriors.

Just like they discussed on social media, the Warriors are a 73-win team plus Durant!

Although Durant's joining meant they had to give up Harrison Barnes and Ezeli, one Durant was worth more than everything.

After that, some other details were revealed one after another.

In the process of Durant's choice, in addition to Curry, Iguodala, who had a similar experience, played a quite crucial role.

The Warriors' current salary cap is not enough to sign Durant, they must send away core rotation players in order to clear space.

They can choose to send away Iguodala, who has a salary of 11.13 million next season, or Bogut, who has 11.27 million.

According to relevant reports, they are expected to send away Bogut, who has suffered injuries and whose performance has been average after his comeback.

The Trail Blazers and the Mavericks are hot candidate teams.

The free market was lively, but Tang Tian, ​​apart from occasionally communicating with Demps, focused his energy on wedding preparations.

The specific operation is definitely left to Karl and the wedding company, but getting married is a once-in-a-lifetime event after all, and the two of them are very invested in it.

However, after seeing the news of Durant joining the Warriors, he couldn't help but post a tweet.

The content of the tweet was very simple, only one word and one punctuation mark.

"Traitor?"

Three years ago, when Tang Tian and the Pelicans reached a four-year poison pill contract, Durant had posted a traitor comment on social media.

Although Tang Tian, ​​as a restricted free agent, was just following the normal procedure, Durant's wave of comments still brought a big wave of rhythm.

Even after more than three years, many people still remember it.

Tang Tian's post now directly made social media explode.

"Haha, Tang's wave of operations is awesome~"

"The slap in the face came too fast like a tornado..."

"The Thunder were leading 3-1 last season but were overturned by the Warriors, and this season he chose to join the Warriors? This is the most real traitor!"

"And Durant also said after joining the Warriors that he had been considering joining the Warriors last season..."

"Westbrook: There's a traitor among us!"

"If you can't beat them, join them? Turn enemies into friends? Is this going to be a timeless story!"

"Iguodala said I did it too, and I'm doing pretty well!"

"666, birds of a feather flock together?"

"(｢･w･)｢Hey!"

"Speaking of which, LeBron only won a championship before leaving the Heat, if Durant goes to the Warriors and still can't win a championship..."

"That must be the most miserable thing in the 21st century."

"We all owe LeBron an apology! The path he chose to go to Miami to form the Big Three wasn't the most difficult, Durant's is!"

…

Durant's choice to join the Warriors made the Warriors the biggest favorite to win the championship.

Even like the fans said, the kind where they can directly hand out the championship trophy.

But the pressure of public opinion that Durant faced was also unprecedented.

Traitor Du, Durant the Second, and a series of other derogatory nicknames emerged one after another.

"Cowards care about the process, I only want the result."

In the face of huge public opinion, Durant also showed his true colors as the King of Twitter, and sent such a tweet directly attacking everyone.

There is some truth to this sentence, the 76ers who have always believed in the process have not yet risen, Durant joined the Warriors, not for the process but for the result.

What he wants is the championship, nothing else matters.

And in fact, after he joined the Warriors, the Warriors basically locked in the championship.

Durant's matter was a big uproar.

Also on the second day, the second day after the free agency freeze period ended.

In addition to the players and teams who had reached verbal agreements signing one after another, on this day, several championship favorite teams all broke out with big news.

The Rockets signed Eric Gordon with a four-year, $53 million contract.

Gordon performed well for the Nets last season, but his height and injuries limited his ceiling. The Nets signing Jeremy Lin meant they gave up on him.

The Rockets' reason for signing him at this time is also very clear.

After failing to pursue Durant, this is their best Plan B.

The Rockets losing to the Pelicans last season, in addition to Harden's poor performance, another most important reason was the weakness of the bench.

Gordon's strength as the team's core, or second or third leader, is not good, but playing as the sixth man off the bench is definitely fine.

Signing Gordon, coupled with the growth of the players' own strength, and the mutual understanding between each other, the Rockets' strength in the new season will be even higher.

In the eyes of the outside world, after the Rockets operated like this, not to mention challenging the Warriors, they would at least be on par with the Pelicans.

The Mavericks also signed a big fish in the free market. After seven days of hard lobbying, they finally persuaded Conley to join.

The two sides signed a four-year, $114 million max contract!

Conley has been in the league for more than ten years, he can take a five-year max contract with a starting salary of 35% of the league's salary cap at most.

Catching up with the soaring salary cap, he had the opportunity to get the highest-paid five-year $153 million contract in the nBA history.

But the Grizzlies failing to enter the playoffs last season made the management doubt the team's current lineup and unwilling to offer such a big contract.

Plus the Mavericks' enthusiastic pursuit, this quasi-All-Star player finally chose to join Dallas!
