Being a manager and being a player in a team is destined to be different.

If he is still in Atalanta, Erniu should now enter a complete state of vacation, and at most give the team manager and head coach a reminder of their own ideas.

But when he does become the team's head coach, he must work with Nell O'Hill in the Clippers' training gym office to discuss the team's plans for next season.

"I don't have much hope for the draft, we only have a second-round pick anyway, and I'm most worried about how the championship team can be consistent. Oshier said calmly.

The general manager of the Clippers acted as a puppet of Nguyen Erniu and Chris Paul most of the time, and the main lineup of the Clippers last season was almost made up of these two guys.

Of course, O'Hill is not without a sense of existence, at least the team's sixth man, Nick Young, came from him to rob the trade, and after the persuasion of the two bulls, he also made the Wizards pay a top draft pick.

Speaking of which, in Erniu's career, he was really lucky to often meet live Lei Feng, for example, during the Atlanta period, the Hawks robbed Jamal Crawford, and in Los Angeles, the Clippers robbed Nick Young with Brian Cook by chance.

Although Nel O'Hir did not achieve the three-legged posture in the team as Sterling expected, he still straightened his waist in front of the second bull and the third cannon with his good performance.

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "The matter of the draft, we will talk about it later, let's talk about the lineup first, let's talk about it, how many people have asked you for a big contract?"

Oshier turned the display screen in front of him to face Ruan Erniu, pointed to the EXCLSE file on the screen and said: "I have summarized and sorted it out here, and it is all conveyed according to the phone information of their agent, you can take a look at it specifically." ”

Ruan Erniu only glanced at it twice, then stopped turning down, and said simply: "The lion opens his mouth!"

It's no wonder that the Clippers won the championship, and as a member of the championship, it is common for the value to overflow, but a few people do go a little too far.

If it is said that people like Nick Young, JJ Redick, and Yi Jianlian who have made tangible contributions to the team's championship and offered high prices, it is okay, but even Reggie Evans and Randy Foye, who can barely play, dare to shout high prices, which is purely a test of the intelligence of the Clippers management.

"If you want to go, let them go, we all won the championship, and I don't believe that there are no reliable veterans in the free market who will take a salary cut and hold their thighs. Er Niu said extremely decisively while filling in red with several players who were destined not to renew their contracts.

Well, there are also people who are willing to keep the base salary, such as Solomon Jones, an old acquaintance of Erniu in the Hawks, but it's a pity that the Clippers won't keep this kind of guy with almost no athleticism in order to defend the championship next season.

"In other words, what you want to stay is nothing more than Nick and JJ, right?" O'Hill pulled back the screen and said what Erniu was thinking.

"Players who are willing to defend, don't possess the ball, and can make a difference on the offensive end are definitely a good fit for our team. Actually, I wanted to stay, but half an hour ago, he just spoke to me on the phone and made it clear that he was looking for a new owner in the free market. Erniu said.

"That proves that Dan Fagan has found him a home, and I guess at least a contract at the top middle-class, or even tens of millions of meters, after all, his performance in the finals is obvious to all. O'Hill said.

Ruan Erniu nodded and said, "So let's talk about what interior players can be added first?"

O'Hill thought for a moment and said: "There are a lot of cheap ones, but whether they can match our lineup is another matter." ”

Ruan Erniu suddenly asked, "Does Mr. Sterling have any ideas for next season's recruitment?"

O'Hill paused and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm used to the boss's past thinking, but Mr. Sterling doesn't have any big restrictions on the recruitment of new seasons." ”

After saying that, Erniu and Oshier laughed together.

The first thing that comes to mind as a team management is often not to strengthen the squad, but to ensure that the team's salary does not cross the luxury tax line.

"Let's arrange a trial first, anyway, the official signing is not something that can be decided in a day or two, and we just want to see what other teams do in the meantime. ”

This summer is destined to be another turbulent season, and when the day comes, there will be some big news in the transfer market.

……

The two talked about some specific trade matters, and then turned the conversation to the '12 draft.

O'Hill sorted out the information at hand, handed it to Erniu's hand and said: "This is what I learned from various sources, the list of players who have been tried out by all the Golden State Warriors in the past period.

What I don't understand is that although we have a top pick in the second round, but the Golden State Warriors have two picks in the first round, the 7th pick and the 30th pick, and with these two picks, the players they want the most have been picked in advance, so what else do we have to take advantage of?

Besides, I don't think a bad team like the Golden State Warriors will pose any threat to us. ”

Er Niu said with a smile while flipping through the information: "It's true that the Golden State Warriors are a bad team now, but as long as there is an old fox like Jerry West, their rise is only a matter of time."

What I want to do is to delay their rise, and even if it doesn't slow them down, it's good to be disgusting and disgusting. ”

When Nell O'Hill heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, how much hatred and resentment this is, isn't it just that the invitation to the LOGO man was unsuccessful?

People only want to believe what they want to believe, and O'Hill obviously can't figure out how much Erniu values Jerry West.

After reading through it in detail for a while, Erniu pointed to the information and said: "Those guys in the front row don't need to look at it, like Dion Vites, Damian Lillard, Thomas Robinson, and Harris Barnes, these people will basically be selected in the top ten."

What we need to keep an eye on is these guys, and they're all guys who are very likely to be drafted by the Warriors in the second round.

Of course, these people will also be our targets!"

Nell O'Hill nodded, but immediately asked rhetorically: "But there are so many rookies in the Warriors' tryout, how can we be sure who they will choose in the end, I think the framework of this goal is still too big." ”

Erniu smiled and took the pen, drew a circle on the names of those people just said, and said: "If these people haven't come to us for a trial, send them a trial invitation, and we will compare our eyes with Jerry West." ”

……

With only a few days left before the draft, Tom Thibodeau, a workaholic without a girlfriend, is back at work with Steve Cole, Tyronn Lue, and Natalie Nakase, who are currently hosting the last rookie players who came to tryout.

Well, that's not entirely true, because there's another guy who's not a rookie at all and has been playing in the league for two years.

After finishing today's recovery training in the gym, Ruan Erniu also wandered to the gym, and he said to Tom Thibodeau with curiosity: "Who is this big guy?"

"Hassan Whiteside, a guy who led the Kings for two years, was drafted by the Kings in the second round in '10, and his physical fitness is strong enough, but it's a pity that the current technique is still too rough!" Thibodeau said seriously.

"How did he get here?" Erniu wondered.

"I found him, he has been given up by the Kings, so he is a free agent, a player like him who has physical talent, but can't play, usually goes overseas to find it, and maybe in the lower leagues in the future. Thibodeau explained.

"What does the coaching staff mean?" asked Ruan Erniu.

"We're the defending champions and we need a veteran guy the most, but it's okay to give him a chance. Thibodeau said.

Erniu immediately understood, it seems that Whiteside's physical talent is indeed amazing, so that the coaching staff still has confidence in him.

"I'll call Nell and try to get him with a basic salary, Solomon (Jones) is not here, we always need someone to help us watch the water cooler, if the technology is just crude, DeAndrew's thing is really hopeless!" Erniu said with a smile.

DeAndre Jordan's annual salary of tens of millions has always been a thorn in Erniu's heart.

Every time he thinks of this, he feels unhappy with the Golden State Warriors who are driving up prices, if they hadn't directly reported a contract with an annual salary of 10 million to Jordan Jr., the Clippers would not have passively matched.

And Jordan Jr.'s performance in the finals further proved that Erniu's original decision was very problematic, but fortunately, the Clippers finally carried it over.

On June 28, 2012, Madison Square Garden, New York, the 12-year draft officially kicked off.

This year is known as the year of the draft, and many media have predicted that there will be many rookies worth looking forward to this year.

The No. 1 pick was the New Orleans Hornets, who lost CP3, and their choice didn't come as unexpected before the game.

It must be Anthony Davis, the MOP who won the Wooden Award, the Adolf Rup Award, and the Naismith Award in his freshman season, and led the University of Kentucky to the NCAA championship.

The most obvious facial feature of the young man is that he has two thick eyebrows that are full of tension, and the center of the eyebrows is also thick hair, connected in a line, and he is nicknamed "Brother Thick Eyebrows".

According to the tradition of the United States, Davis, who has not played a single NBA game, was directly selected to the Dream Ten team, and he will participate in the London Olympics with a group of NBA superstars.

The superstars of the United States swore that this time they must bring the championship trophy back to the United States.

However, there is no shortage of irony in the United States, and some opposition fans in the United States said: "If the United States team really wins the championship in the end, the person they should be most grateful to is definitely Kraft Nguyen, because he finally didn't go to London to snipe those cowards." ”

Hehe, that's just to say, James, Paul, Kobe, Durant, Anthony, Westbrook and the gang are all together, and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team has less Da Yao, and it is too difficult to rely on Ruan Erniu to lead the team to snipe the Dream Ten team.

Turning their eyes back to the draft, Charlotte Bobcats chose Michael Kidd Gilchrist on the pick, and the name alone is awesome enough, so Jordan must have chosen him for that reason.

Well, that's right, meow!

In the third pick, the Wizards chose Bradley Beal, which is a backcourt partner for the embarrassing wall, Beal's characteristics are superb shooting, with a big heart, and his own ability to break through, from this point of view, it really matches the embarrassing wall.

The Cavaliers selected Dion Vitesse with the fourth pick.

The Kings picked Thomas Robinson with the fifth pick.

The Trail Blazers selected Damian Lillard with the sixth pick.

And the Warriors selected Harris Barnes with the seventh pick.

This wave down, there weren't too many surprising draft picks rushing into the lotto zone.

The draft went on, and the previously favored Andre Drummond was selected by the Pistons with the 9th pick, and of course, Celestial Empire fans are more familiar with his other nickname, "Zhuang Shen" (Drummond is translated as Zhuang Meng in Cantonese translation).

With the tenth pick, the Hornets chose Austin Rivers, who, by the way, is the son of former Green Kai head coach - Doug Rivers.

……

As the draft picks continue to progress, the first-round draft is about to come to an end.

Ruan Erniu did not come to the scene and kept in touch with Oshier by video call.

O'Hill said: "It's going to be the 30th pick soon, and we've got three spots in the end, who do you think the Warriors will pick?"

Erniu thought for a while and said: "Actually, among the three people we selected, I am the least optimistic about the Bosnian Ognie Kuzmić. Even if he is selected, I don't know when he will be able to land in the NBA.

So I'm leaning towards either Fertus Azeri or Draymond Green.

No matter who the Warriors pick with the 30th pick, we're going to have to pick the other one with the second pick in the second round!"

The results were quick to in, and the Golden State Warriors drafted Azeri with the 30th pick.

Ten minutes later, the Los Angeles Clippers made a move, and they selected Draymond Green from Michigan State University with the second pick in the second round and the 32nd overall pick.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that this goods and Magic * Johnson are also alumni.

The Warriors' uniforms, who had successfully obtained their favorite players with the seventh and thirtieth picks, suddenly felt a little unhappy.

It is said that Jerry West, who was in remote control in Auckland, also angrily spilled a cup of coffee.

"XX's, the people of the Celestial Empire are doing it on purpose, he just wants to get along with me!" "The LOGO man is not a good man and a woman, a guy who can leave his name in the annals of basketball, there is no fuel-efficient one, etc.

The Clippers were able to cut off the Warriors, but they still don't know what an important thing they did.

Time flew away, and the 2012 NBA Draft officially came to an end with the Los Angeles Lakers selecting Robert Thackeray with the 60th pick.

This summer's trading market is just getting started!
