Sun Hao, a little unexpected.

But it's not that strange.

Sun Hao has won the FMVP, and Cuban's opinion of him is definitely different from before.

In particular, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the Mavericks' championship lineup has a lot to do with Sun Hao.

Bell is because of Sun Hao's Mavericks, as are Bodi Loga and Curry Sr.

Each of these three men's contributions to the Mavericks' journey to the championship is huge.

In other words, Sun Hao's status in the Mavericks is already very high unconsciously.

Of course, what Sun Hao didn't know was that before taking Anne to Europe, the old Nelson also recommended Sun Hao to Cuban.

In the contact between Nelson Sr. and Sun Hao, he has already felt that Sun Hao is a very insightful and discerning player.

So for a series of reasons, Sun Hao appeared here.

And Cuban only asked him to give an opinion, and he didn't necessarily listen to him.

There are draft teams in the draft, and there are many factors to consider.

Sun Hao also basically knew the situation in front of him, and he didn't feel that he could decide the team's choice now.

So he should continue to read the draft.

The lottery draft is very different from the one in history, but many of the options outside of the lottery are still the same as in history.

After all, Sun Hao's time in the NBA is not too long, and the butterfly effect is limited.

Several key players, David West went to the Hornets, Dio also went to the Hawks, and Perkins was drafted and traded to the Celtics.

By the way, there has been a head coach change between the Eastern giants this season.

The previously mentioned Brown went from the 76ers to the Pistons, while Carlisle went from the Celtics to the Pacers.

Before the free market was opened, there was already a signal of great turmoil in the east.

Soon, the first-round draft went to the Mavericks.

The Mavericks had the best record in the league last season, and they also held the last pick in the first round, the No. 29 pick.

Sun Hao also roughly knows the choices the Mavericks will make this year from the previous discussion.

Josh Howard.

One of the "Dallas Three Ugly" in history, once made the "little general" Johnson think that he is a more valuable striker than Nowitzki.

Howard is not bad in terms of physical talent or immediate combat power, and his strength is not to be said, a top swingman at the top of the line, the kind that can enter the top ten or even the top five small forwards in the league at his peak.

The reason why he fell to this pick is because he finished four years of college before running for office.

He was 22 years old when he signed up for the election, and now he is 23 years old on his birthday.

And the Mavericks are now gone Bodi Loga, and Howard will fill the vacancy right away, and it will be more than enough to play Finley's bench.

It's also one of the most successful draft picks in the Mavericks' history.

"What do you think?"

Kuban also opened his mouth and asked what Sun Hao meant.

"I haven't paid attention to him, but we do need a small forward, and I trust the information and judgment of the draft team."

Sun Hao didn't have any opinions, so he showed his [emotional intelligence] easily.

Cuban nodded, Sun Hao's answer was a statement, but it was not very radical, it was the best answer for his position.

Sun Hao also came over to make soy sauce.

After the first round, the draft team is doing a lot of work, and the Mavericks also have a second-round pick with the 58th overall pick, which is about the same as none.

But no one left, and Cuban pulled Sun Hao to start talking about the championship parade.

The conversation couldn't be stopped.

By the end of the second round, the Mavericks were going to pick with the 58th pick.

"You've played in Europe, do you have anyone to recommend on the European side?"

Kuban asked Sun Hao at this time.

Cuban's tone at this time is completely different from that of the first round of selection.

It's a kind of question that is really asking for people.

After all, the 58th pick is to find gold in the sand, and if you bet on an overseas player, the chances are obviously greater.

"I'll probably have to look at the list, and who else hasn't been chosen."

Sun Hao was also more serious this time.

The assistant over there quickly handed over the list.

He looked at them one by one and found that they basically didn't know each other.

This is also normal, the platinum generation refers to the first round, and even the lotto, and the rest of the quality is actually average.

And as I said before, after the information is developed, the probability of the team's selection is also decreasing.

The big waves wash the sand, and the rest is basically water.

But at this moment, Sun Hao's eyes were attracted by a person.

José Calderón.

This opponent, who had played against him in the Champions League and participated in the European joint trial with him in Europe, automatically participated.

Moreover, he was defeated......

When he saw this name, Sun Hao couldn't help laughing.

You say that fate is really wonderful sometimes.

"What's wrong?"

Cuban looked at Sun Hao's expression with some curiosity.

"He, I've played against him in Europe, and I don't think it's a problem to establish himself in the NBA with his quality."

Sun Hao pointed to Calderon's name and said.

Smile and smile, and when you open your eyes, Calderón is the best choice.

The historical Calderón played in Europe for another two years before landing in the NBA.

And as soon as he entered the NBA, he showed great strength, and was once the player with the highest assist-to-turnover ratio among the players who averaged 30+ games per game in the league.

If you use an easy-to-understand word, this is a weakened version of Nash.

The Mavericks selected him with the 58th pick, and even if he really landed in the NBA after two years like in history, it would be a bloody deal.

"Then choose him."

Hearing the confidence and affirmation in Sun Hao's words, Cuban nodded directly.

"Avery, what do you think?"

However, Cuban still gave Johnson a lot of face, and turned his head and asked his opinion again.

"I think I can try."

This second-round pick is basically a little bit of a try, and Cuban agrees, and he doesn't need to object.

After all, he wanted to choose Howard in the first round, and Cuban and Sun Hao didn't raise any opinions.

What surprised him a little was Cuban's attitude towards Sun Hao.

Find players to participate in the draft, and choose directly according to what the latter says, this ......

"So be it, Avery, let's arrange for someone to try him out and see if he can meet the team's requirements."

But before he could think about it, Cuban had already spoken.

He nodded, didn't think much more, and turned to make arrangements with Harris.

The draft is officially over here.

Sun Hao chatted with Cuban for a few more words, and after greeting Johnson, he rushed to attend Yi Jianlian's celebration party.

On the way, he began to imagine what would happen next season.

The departure of Bodiloga and others is a loss, but with the addition of Howard, Calderon and others, the strength of the Mavericks has not declined so much.

Defending the title is not as tough as I thought.

And, there's the free agent market.

In this year's free market, Carl Malone, Gary Payton, ......

The Mavericks' current salary space prevents them from signing big contracts, but as long as these veterans can sign one, their strength will go up again.

And the Mavericks are the defending champions, and the others have plenty of reasons to come over and hug their thighs.

Now, just wait for the free market to begin.

The draft is on June 27, and the free agency opens on July 1.

June is small, and there are only two days in between.

As is customary in previous years, this should be the quietest two days in theory for the league, except for rookies reporting to the teams.

However, it was also on the last day of June.

On June 30, 2003, the day that went down in history by the NBA, it came as scheduled.

Sun Hao can't even remember exactly what year that happened to him.

But he came anyway.

That incident can be described in a few key words.

Kobe, Eagle County, Girl, Strong/Prostitute.

Kobe Bryant, after experiencing last season, his confidence has swelled to an extreme, but the experience of the playoffs has poured cold water on him.

He was a little confused for a while, he had been restrained before, and in the end he couldn't control it, so he decided to indulge himself and go outside to have some fun and vent.

At this time, I have to mention an incident that happened to Kobe Bryant and Iverson in Los Angeles.

That's from Iverson's own description.

"The first time we were in Los Angeles, we said in the evening that we were going to a nightclub together, and he told me he was going to training."

From Iverson's words, it is not difficult to know that Kobe Bryant is a person who loves to train, which also leads to him rarely going to those meeting places.

Except for Vasani, who he loves, he rarely has contact with women outside before.

What the? Kobe Bryant has at least 105 lovers?

Let's not say whether it's true or not, but that's all for later.

At least Kobe Bryant at this time is bent on proving that he is the king of Los Angeles.

So when he went out to vent, Kobe, who had no experience in this area, was quickly recruited.

It is not uncommon for celebrities to be cheated on money and lose talents, and Sun Hao, the person who has crossed it, knows a lot, Huang Hibo, Liu Qiangdong...... And so on, Kobe Bryant is also one of them.

It's just that because he's Kobe Bryant, this matter is big all of a sudden.

And this kind of thing can't be dealt with all at once.

After the media exposed the incident, Kobe Bryant fell into the center of public opinion in an instant.

What's worse is that after learning about it, everyone on the Lakers team is on the opposite side of him.

Phil Jackson, the head coach of the Lakers, was furious at Kobe's actions.

Lakers management was also shocked and puzzled by Kobe's behavior.

Adidas, after learning about this matter, announced as soon as possible that it would not continue to let Kobe Bryant serve as the spokesperson of the brand.

Kobe's parents, because Vashani and Kobe were opposed, also chose to remain silent at this time.

In an instant, Bryant fell into a state of complete "isolation".

But in fact, this kind of thing, whoever stands on his side is waiting to be sprayed together.

In other words, the absence of blame is already the best help.

But it was at this time that Kobe's low EQ was revealed.

Just when the media made him the target of public criticism, he directly said such a paragraph.

"Shaq has done this kind of thing, maybe I should give those women enough money like Shaq did, and they won't talk nonsense."

Well, that's what the fans have repeatedly mentioned in the future, and Shaq did it.

This scene, like the future Russell video saying that Nick Young cheated, directly stabbed in the back.

You must know that O'Neill, who is with each other, just got married to his girlfriend Shannie last year.

This is the equivalent of throwing a bomb into O'Neill's family.

O'Neill, no matter how good-tempered he is, can't stand this situation.

"That's child's gibberish."

Although O'Neill said so when he talked about this when he faced reporters, it was completely clear that O'Neill was unhappy in his heart.

You must know that the contradictions between the OK combinations are deepening day by day, and the fact that they have not broken up is related to O'Neill's repeated concessions.

Now that O'Neal is no longer back down because of this matter, no one knows what will happen to the Lakers next season.

The biggest headache at this time is probably the management of the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, the league's No. 1 scoring guard and No. 1 center, if it really comes to the day when they have to be dismantled, whoever they send away will be a fatal blow to the Lakers.

They had to do something in a very short period of time that would soothe the emotions of both of them.

If it can't be done, then the dissolution of the OK group is close at hand.

The only good news is that both are still under contract.

If the Lakers don't make a trade, the OK combination will last another season anyway.

However, if the relationship between the two is not handled well, it will be the last season.

In this context, in the midst of the endless discussion of the Kobe Bryant Eagle County incident, the door to the NBA free agency market officially opened in 2003.

On the first day, nothing came out.

It's as if the only thing worth paying attention to is Kobe Bryant and his little thing.

But in reality, the management of the teams is not so idle.

Because there are not as many free agents as in the future, except for a few who have already confirmed that they will be signed, the rest are being discussed.

For example, the Nuggets are really trying to reach Duncan and want to form a lineup of Duncan and James.

With Carlisle gone, for example, Antoine Walker is on the shelf, and the Celtics are hoping to trade for a quasi-All-Star guard to partner Pierce and Gasol before the season begins.

Another example is that the Wizards are looking for reinforcements after Jordan's retirement.

It was also at this time that Sun Hao also encountered two things.

The first is that the Mavericks executed the team option in Sun Hao's contract, and then Nelson Jr. found Fu Paul and wanted to complete an early contract extension with Sun Hao.

This was to be expected.

And long before, Fu Paul had already given Sun Hao advice not to renew the contract in advance.

There are many reasons for Paul Fu:

The NBA's salary cap will be higher next year, and you can get more money for contract extensions when the time comes;

Sun Hao has won the championship, and now he needs to consider how to increase his influence;

Nelson Sr.'s break has filled the future of the Mavericks with a lot of uncertainty;

Nowitzki's existence makes it difficult for Sun Hao to become the real team boss of the Mavericks, and it is not the best choice for Sun Hao to stay in the Mavericks for a long time;

…… Wait a minute.

To sum it up, Fu Paul wants to wait until the end of his contract before taking a look.

That doesn't mean leaving the Mavericks, but it's the most beneficial option for Sun Hao.

Anyway, it doesn't have much of an impact.

After all, the Mavericks have Sun Hao's parent team matching rights.

In the next contract, unless the Mavericks don't want Sun Hao anymore, Sun Hao will definitely stay in the Mavericks.

The second thing has to do with Jordan.

While Sun Hao and the others were training in the stadium, Jordan came.

This basketball god, who was supposed to be recuperating from his injury, went to the draft and came to Dallas again, and it was quite unprofessional to recuperate.

Jordan came this time because he wanted to ask Sun Hao's opinion.
