Chapter 676: Crazy Summer
Billy Knight has been waiting in the restaurant for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If last season's Knight was still a little unaccustomed to Ruan Erniu's "fingers", after successfully defending the title in the 08-09 season, Ruan Erniu has established his own unique vision and authority.
On the other hand, with the championship, even if you say that the earth is flat, others have to think about it for a long time and think about whether it makes sense.
Hehe, Erniu, who has won 2 championship trophies and MVP, is definitely not so boring.
In fact, he wasn't very interested in trading for the summer.
Knight was surprised and said, "No trade this summer?"
Ruan Erniu asked rhetorically: "Billy, if you have a very good trading option, of course it doesn't matter. But do you think there's a good deal on the team right now, or do you want to trade me?"
Billy Knight and Woodson laughed at the same time, of course it was a joke, but at the moment the Hawks manager was thinking: "How do you know I don't have a good trade option, and labor and management are going to blind you with bull's eyes!"
However, Knight, who wanted to pretend to be slapped in the face, did not say this directly, but asked in a roundabout way: "Ronald Murray became a free agent in the summer, and his agent asked the team to ask for the full middle class, what do you think?"
Ruan Erniu thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "I personally recommend refusal, because there are other people who need to give priority to renewing their contracts, especially MB, which is the point, after all, winning two championships in a row is definitely a great bonus to the value of the player, and the team needs a stable backfield." ”
Yes, Bibby has said that he is willing to take a pay cut to stay in Atalanta, but that was before the championship.
Veteran players are good at calming people's hearts, and it is entirely possible to say some scene words to be perfunctory.
But in the summer, when a team really pulls out a big contract in front of Bibby, can he still remain indifferent?
Never underestimate the player's pursuit and compromise of personal interests, in the huge capital market of the NBA, it is ridiculous to talk about the interests of both parties and only talk about loyalty.
No matter how you look at it, keeping Bibi is an important part of ensuring the overall strength of the Eagles.
Even if Bibby is older, even if Bibby was blown up by Brooks on the Finals stage, and even if the Hawks have intentionally or unintentionally started the process of Dragic's gradual ascension, but in the final analysis, the Hawks still need Bibi, a veteran, to calm the court at critical moments.
However, another question has arisen, if Mike Bibby is renewed with a high salary, what price should be used when renewing the contract next year, and then, the team that just entered the NBA in 07 and signed a 3+1 contract, what kind of contract should Ruan Erniu, who has the right of first refusal to renew in the 10-11 season?
Therefore, it seems that it is just a reasonable renewal contract for veterans, but in fact, there are more doorways to calculate.
Woodson, who had been on the sidelines, said: "Not only MB, but Zaza's contract has also expired, what kind of contract do you think should be given to him?"
Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "In short, trying to keep the original rotation lineup is the key, and the rest is not important." ”
Erniu's sentence is very standard, this is the draft he has already prepared.
You must know that as soon as these words came out, in the real context, Ruan Erniu's attitude has been indicated.
The so-called original rotation lineup naturally includes Lunar Eclipse except Erniu, Chris Anderson, Zaza Pachuria, John Salmons, Steve Novak, Joe Johnson, Ronald Murray, Mike Bibby, Goran Dragic.
Among them, Murray was excluded early because of his personal interest choice, Embarrassment, Lunar Eclipse, Salmon The contract has not expired and does not need to be considered for the time being, the claw machine is still in the rookie period, Birdman and Novak both signed a 1+1 contract last year, and the team option can be executed in the second year, so there is no need to worry.
After all, the only rotation lineup that really wants to "stay" is Bibi and Pachuria.
On the other hand, the rest of Ruan Erniu's second half of the sentence is not important, there is another meaning, and there is no need to care too much about other people outside the original rotation.
Woodson proposed: "Marbury's contract expires, should you ask him if he'd like to join the coaching staff?"
Egghead has just lost Larry Drew, and his own coaching staff is short of manpower.
However, Billy Knight gave a negative answer: "I have already spoken to Marbury's team about your opinion, however, he refused, and Marbury said that he still wants to work for a few more years. ”
At this time, no one would have thought that Marbury, who won the championship ring, still has no market in the NBA, and even if he wins the championship with the championship team, no team is willing to contain him.
Also this summer, Marbury, who was abandoned by the basketball market in the United States, was completely depressed, and he even broadcast the crazy move of devouring Vaseline on the Internet.
Well, a guy like him who was driven crazy by rice imperialism had no choice but to go to the river crab society of the Celestial Empire to purify his soul and obtain the true meaning of life.
Next, it's basically an inspirational story that everyone likes to see.
The Hawks didn't put Marbury in their player plans, and Assi Law, who had been trained for two years, was difficult to do, and the management had decided to trade him out, plus Murray, who was certainly not ready to renew his contract, and the Hawks were short of players in the backcourt.
If you don't rely on trading, you have to make up your mind on the free market and the draft!
Knight asked, "Do you have the right person in the free market?"
Ruan Erniu shook his head and said, "No, so I focused on the draft."
I've looked at this year's draft list, and experts say it's a small year in the draft, but I don't see it that way, there are still a lot of rookies worth looking forward to.
We had the 27th pick in the first round and I thought we should pick a wing player in the No. 3 or No. 4 position to increase the defensive intensity, and I have three options for you to consider: Tyler Hansbour, Omi Cosby and Demarre Carroll.
And in the second round, we have the 19th pick in the second round, and I want to pick a point guard and find a backup for MB and Golan, what do you think of Patrick Mills in Australia?"
Billy Knight laughed: "There shouldn't be much of a problem in the second round, it's not famous at all, you've met him on the international stage, right?"
But Hansbrough should not be able to grab it in the first round, after all, it is the hope of the white people in the United States, and he has just led North Carolina to win the NCAA championship, which is not a player who can be grabbed with the 27th pick, and Cosby and Carroll are not in the lotto, but there is a little hope. ”
The conversation between the three of the Eagles is the end of the story, and then it depends on the execution ability of the uniform team.
There is always a gap between expectations and reality, and in Erniu's most hopeless summer trade, Billy Knight was the first to surprise him.
On June 25, the day of the draft, the Hawks sent Assi Law, Solomon Jones, Randolph Morris, and Jeremy Richardson from the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Jamal Crawford.
Among them, Randolph Morris and Jeremy Richardson still signed non-guaranteed contracts to match the salary of the trade.
Ruan Erniu was watching the draft in front of the TV at the time, and when he got the news, there were only two thoughts in the minds of the people of the Celestial Empire:
1. Knight is finally awesome;
Second, the warriors are crazy!
