Chapter Twenty-Four: Substitute Splash Combo
"So he could be the next Stephen Curry?" Wei Zhiming was a little surprised, so Jason Kidd came to bring a potential rookie? Such a good seedling, why would the pelican let go?
"If he could have Stephen's precision, he would be better than Stephen because he defended so much better than Stephen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"So, isn't the Pelican a big loss?" Wei Zhiming was stunned, could it be that the pelican is the trumpet of the buck? So why not send Davis over?
"Haha, it's still being said if he can play, and Jabari Parker has shown his potential on the court, Parker's potential is endless, how can the Pelicans suffer?" Jason Kidd shook his head: "His ball control and autonomous offensive ability needs to be improved, and I like him and Devin to join forces at the back. ”
Wei Zhiming was stunned for a moment, Devin Booker is also a three-point sharpshooter, he has the label of Thompson, Devin Booker plus Barty Hield as Jason Kidd said.
The Bucks' bench splash combination?
It's interesting, you can hone these two little guys in the preseason, and if it's really as Jason Kidd said, then the Bucks' bench is really a small splash combination.
After Plumola was sent out, the Bucks' bench was left with only Patrick Patterson and John Henson, both of whom were offensive players who were more defensive than defensive, and with the Splash Brothers on the bench, the Bucks should be looking for a trade to send the two of them out in exchange for two defensive interior players.
It's best to have a little bit of playmaking ability on the inside of this defensive type.
Wei Zhiming took the lead in rounding Vallejo, and then he immediately asked the Bucks' management team to grab Vallejo with the Warriors, after all, Vallejo is now a free agent, and it would be excellent to spend more money to bring him in.
Subsequently, Wei Zhiming circled David Lee again, David Lee has been in a slump since he was abandoned by the Warriors, he is now a free agent, and he seems to be a little hot with the Spurs.
Well, after robbing the Warriors' players, robbing the Spurs' players, this is good. If it weren't for Wei Zhiming, who had just entered the NBA last year, he would have gone to grab Black Ade.
If David Lee and Vallejo both come, then Patrick Patterson and John Henson on the inside will be superfluous, although David Lee's rebounding ability is average, but he has the ability to play and attack, he can be regarded as an excellent player.
After Wei Zhiming circled, he quickly began to release news to the Bucks management, and Wei Zhiming called Vallejo and David Lee directly for the sake of safety.
When Vallejo received the call, he was shocked by Wei Zhiming's words, because Wei Zhiming's first sentence was: "Come to me Bucks, I will teach you to win the championship!" ”
Although Wei Zhiming did not win the championship this year, he was killed by the knight, but Wei Zhiming's strength is too scary, as James's helper for many years, Vallejo knows how powerful James is, but Wei Zhiming can break Jordan's record in the Eastern Conference finals, facing James's defense and the Cavaliers' bag, you can imagine how murderous Wei Zhiming is.
Moreover, the Bucks also gave more contracts than the Warriors, the Warriors gave Vallejo a veteran base salary of $1.55 million a year, while the Bucks gave a contract of $5 million.
Of course, the most important thing is Wei Zhiming's sentence, although the Warriors have formed a Big Five lineup, they also have many weaknesses in their Big Five, such as their weak interior line, and they were angrily scolded by fans of their old club who have been playing for more than ten years in the Finals, Vallejo thought about it and chose to join the Bucks.
Vallejo signed a one-year, $500w contract with the Bucks, and then he ditched the Warriors in favor of Milwaukee.
Wei Zhiming's first sentence on David Lee's phone call is also I teach you to win the championship, although David Lee has a championship ring, but that ring is mixed with him, he was taken down by the head coach when he was in the Warriors, and Bogut took the opportunity to grow up.
Because David Lee's defensive ability is not as good as Bogut's, the Warriors' offense has the Splash Brothers and Green, and Bogut is obviously much stronger than David Lee in the Warriors.
In the Bucks' bench lineup, it is unknown whether the Little Splash Brothers can play the expected effect, and Barty Hield's defensive ability is completely Curry, and small forward Barnes's offensive ability is average, but his defensive ability is great, Wei Zhiming thinks that the Bucks are still very suitable for this big forward who can respond to the ability.
Moreover, the price given by the Bucks is also great, and the price given by the Bucks to David Lee is also a one-year contract of $500w, and as a team that can reach the Eastern Conference Finals, the strength of the Bucks themselves is not bad. Moreover, this is still personally recruited by Wei Zhiming, the first person in the alliance.
David Lee was supposed to join the Spurs with a base salary, but as soon as Wei Zhiming called, David Lee immediately changed his mind, and he, like Vallejo, also signed a one-year $500w contract and chose to join Milwaukee.
Since then, the basic structure of the Bucks has been formed, with the starting lineup led by Wei Zhiming, and the bench lineup is:
Point guard Barty Hield, scoring guard Devin Booker, small forward Matt Barnes, power forward David Lee, center Vallejo.
Similarly, the Bucks have veterans Ray Allen, Patrick Patterson, and John Henson, two valuable interior players, on the bench, as well as water cooler players Rashad Vaughn, Damian Angelis, and so on.
In this way, the Bucks' lineup for next season has been almost repaired, and if the Bucks' bench lineup, the Little Splash Brothers, can play, then the Bucks can easily win the championship.
After getting the framework of the Bucks, Wei Zhiming began to negotiate with the Bucks with his agent Bill Duffy, and the other players of the Bucks were ready, and if Wei Zhiming didn't sign with the Bucks, it would be a joke.
Wei Zhiming's signing is a top priority, in fact, after Wei Zhiming came to the United States, he received many invitations from team managers, such as the Lakers, Rockets, etc., but Wei Zhiming did not pay attention to it, he once said that if the Bucks did not treat him badly, he would not consider changing teams.
Moreover, the main force and point guard of the Bucks are all grasped by Wei Zhiming, except for some regrets about sending Parker away, the other Wei Zhiming are very satisfied.
Wei Zhiming began to have a crazy discussion with the Bucks with the participation of Bill Duffy, Wei Zhiming's request was to sign a contract for a maximum of three years, while the Bucks wanted to sign a five-year long-term contract, and they even wanted to buy Wei Zhiming out.
Wei Zhiming naturally disagreed, Wei Zhiming wanted to get a salary, which was naturally the highest in the league, in fact, Wei Zhiming had been waiting for James to sign, and then Wei Zhiming signed the Bucks according to James's signing contract, plus a little money.
However, James is not in a hurry to sign the contract, and the Bucks are forcing Wei Zhiming to sign, because Wei Zhiming does not sign, and the Bucks are uneasy.
Wei Zhiming began to fight with the Bucks, for the Bucks, money is not a problem, the main thing is a matter of time, and Wei Zhiming does not want to sign for so long, he plans to prepare to sign a contract for two to three years.
However, just as Wei Zhiming and the Bucks were arguing, another turbulent thing happened in the league, and that was that Spurs legend Tim Duncan chose to retire.
Tim Duncan has played for the Spurs for 20 years, from the young Wake Forest flying devils to the No. 21 rookie, Duncan's life is legendary, Duncan's retirement caused a lot of waves, and many people put him in the position of the No. 1 forward in history.
Kobe's voice is also a legendary life, but in Kobe's position, there is an unparalleled basketball god Jordan, and Kobe is the closest person to Jordan. But in the power forward position, although there are many players who are also legendary, Duncan's legendary life is no worse than theirs.
Duncan's strength, glory and personality, combined with the three points, it can be said that there is no one before or since, and there may not be a second Duncan in the alliance.
Compared with Kobe's gorgeous, world-famous retirement, Duncan's retirement is just like his low-key style, simply dominating, this is Duncan.
And Duncan just chuckled at others discussing his all-time and all-time power forwards: "It is the greatest honor for me to be able to put me in this position to discuss." ”
When Wei Zhiming heard the news of Duncan's retirement, he couldn't help but sigh, when Duncan was at his peak, he was only a few years old, but fortunately, Wei Zhiming could fight with the peak Duncan in the space, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life.
This summer, it was a shocking summer, Kobe Bryant retired, the Warriors broke the Bulls' 72-win record, Curry was unanimously elected MVP of the regular season, the Cavaliers reversed 1-3 in the Finals, Duncan retired, Durant joined the Warriors, Rose was traded to the Knicks, and Wade, the soul of the Heat, joined the Bulls.....
Compared to the tsunami-like news of the league, Wei Zhiming's Bucks trade was really good, and Wei Zhiming also announced a successful signing with the Bucks after Duncan announced his retirement.
Wei Zhiming finally won the victory, in this year's era of crazy player salaries, Wei Zhiming signed a very large contract, Wei Zhiming signed a contract of 2+1, three years and 100 million US dollars.
Wei Zhiming's salary in the first season is 3100w, the salary in the second season is 33.3 million, and the salary in the third season is 35.8 million, Wei Zhiming has a player option in the third year, Wei Zhiming is the third player in history after Jordan and Kobe Bryant to reach an annual salary of 3000w dollars. (James is not currently on a contract.) )
As soon as Wei Zhiming's contract came out, it directly shocked everyone, and many players were amazed that Wei Zhiming was the first person in the league.
However, Wei Zhiming's contract is not the first in the league, the first in the league is Mike Conley of the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies signed Mike Conley for five years for $153 million, which is almost the same price as Wei Zhiming.
Wei Zhiming's strength to sign this contract will only make fans cry out, but Conley signed the contract, and many fans immediately ridiculed the Grizzlies for being stupid and having a lot of money.
In other words, the Grizzlies' management doesn't seem to have a really high IQ, they were the Lakers' trumpet back then, and they gave Pau Gasol to the Lakers, and now they have signed Conley with such a big contract.
Conley's quality is still good, but he really doesn't deserve such a big contract.
Regardless of Wei Zhiming's salary, when Wei Zhiming signed the contract, the Bucks management couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Wei Zhiming finally signed the contract, the money that the Bucks can afford, other teams can naturally afford it, like those teams that are rebuilding and the teams that want to win the championship are very hot on Wei Zhiming.
Among the players on the Bucks team now, Wei Zhiming has the highest salary, he is as high as 3100w, followed by Chris Middleton, who has a salary of 1520w, followed by John Henson, who signed last summer, his salary is as high as 1227w, and then there is Jrue Holiday who has just been traded, his salary is 1129w.
And the rest of the players, the salaries are very low, Patrick Patterson 605w, Barnes $600w, David Lee and Vallejo $500w, Barty Hield $352w, Ray Allen $350w, Antetokounmpo $300w, Devin Booker 222w. Sanders was bought out by the Bucks, and his salary is only $186w, and the Bucks, plus some water cooler players, the Bucks' total salary this year is about $106 million.
Of course, Saunders did well last year and is expected to sign a new one after sending off Patrick Patterson and John Henson.
The salary cap in 2016-2017 is in US dollars, and the luxury tax starts at $100 million, while the Bucks' salary is about $106 million, which is about 1,000w+ away from the luxury tax.
However, the Bucks also plan to send away Patrick Patterson and John Henson, two interior players worth a combined $1,832 in exchange for an All-Star caliber player.
If the Bucks subtract the salaries of these two players, it is estimated that they will not even be poor, and if these two players can be exchanged for an All-Star level player, the Bucks will make crazy money.
The Bucks began to peddle Patrick Patterson and John Henson, hoping to sell those two players, knowing that the Bucks have a lot of young rookies who are not profitable. For example, Brother Alphabet, such as Devin Booker, such as Barty Heard.
I have to say that most of the Bucks' players are rookies and old men, and the two young Chris Middleton and Zhu Holiday are only in their early 1000w, but John Henson's salary is surprisingly high.
Wei Zhiming, as the boss of the Bucks, his strength is worthy of this price, Wei Zhiming has been in the United States for almost half a month, and he has finally finished the lineup for next season.
(You can't get an all-star.) If you consider the reality of the problem, any All-Star can't be picked up, such as Lillard, Wei Shao, James, Durant, Wade, DeRozan, etc., this lineup was discussed in the group for two hours, and a relatively good lineup was discussed, saying that Barty Hield + Devin Booker, is it a small splash combination? (To be continued.) )
