Chapter 322: The Wizards' lineup for the new season

According to the current situation, the market value of 800 million is only a temporary situation, and as the Wizards win three consecutive championships or even more championships, the value will further increase.

Unless Leonsis is insane, there is no way he can sell the Wizards.

Of course, if Mallory's father is willing to pay much more than the current market value of the Wizards to buy the team, it will be a different matter, say pay $1 billion to buy the Wizards or something...... The likelihood of such a is also low.

"Is it hard? Are the Wizards expensive? ”

When Ma Luoli heard Wang Xiao's words, she couldn't help but look up and ask curiously.

"It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not, the owners of the Wizards shouldn't have any intention of selling the team right now."

"That's a shame, the Wizards you lead should be the best team in the league, and it will be very cool to buy it!" Mallory was slightly disappointed, "Then guess what team my dad wants to buy?" ”

"The Bucks." Wang Xiao said without thinking, as a traverser, of course he knew about it.

"How do you know?" Mallory's eyes widened in surprise.

This matter is already a trade secret, and neither party will voluntarily disclose it until the transaction is concluded.

"Guess." Wang Xiao smiled slightly, "Did I guess right?" ”

"I really doubt that you really have superpowers." looked at Wang Xiao in surprise, and after half a ring, Ma Luoli sighed and said: "You guessed right, it's a buck, I don't really understand, why buy a buck?" Milwaukee is so far from New York, and the Bucks are only a bottom-of-the-league team, so what's the point of buying a team that will only lose and not win? ”

Wang Xiao thought for a while, and then said: "It can't be said that the meaning of the existence of the draft conference is not to let the weak team get better players, so that the weak team will gradually become stronger?" Antetokounmpo, the rookie selected by the Bucks in this draft, is a player with considerable potential, and he is definitely the top player in the league when he grows up. ”

"Really? Just that skinny bamboo pole? When Mallory heard this, she looked skeptical.

Antetokounmpo was not favored by scouts when he entered the draft.

He faced a situation similar to Durant's back then, although he was tall and long-armed, but he was too thin to make it doubtful that he could adapt to the high-intensity confrontation in the NBA.

Unlike Durant, Antetokounmpo doesn't have the ability to shoot from mid-to-long range, which further lowers his rating.

Because of this, Antetokounmpo's draft pick will drop to outside the top ten.

No one would have imagined that a few years later, this emaciated guy would actually transform into a muscle stick, a monster on the front line.

"Trust me, I can't be wrong." Wang Xiao said very firmly: "Your father's decision to buy the Bucks is very wise, it will not take ten years for the market value of this team to double, and it is not only the market value that has doubled, but also the strength of the team." ”

Wang Xiao is a draft vision, how could Ma Luoli not know?

The league's famous insight into the British has turned stones into gold, but any player he likes can basically play worth.

Curry, Harden, George, Thompson, Leonard......

Since Wang Xiao is optimistic about Antetokounmpo, then he will be worth his worth nine times out of ten.

"It's too early to say this, although my dad is interested in buying the Bucks, but it's just in the process of thinking about whether it can be done or not." Mallory said, suddenly smiling again, "But if he really becomes the owner of an NBA team, can I invite you to coach my team at that time?" ”

……

Ma Luoli's question, Wang Xiao did not answer immediately.

With the Wizards winning three consecutive championships just the beginning, and after winning the triple championship, what to do next is also important.

In 14, the Wizards needed to re-sign George with a maximum salary, while Thompson and Leonard were still in rookie contracts, and it was not until 15 years that the Wizards faced the problem of salary space.

So in Wang Xiao's plan, he should coach the Wizards for another three or four years.

After all, even if salary space does not allow, the Wizards can at least keep the lineup of Curry + Thompson + George (or Leonard) + Green.

And this lineup still has extremely terrifying strength, and the ruling alliance is not a problem at all.

Wang Xiao has no reason to give up this invincible lineup and run to other teams to start from hell mode.

Of course, it's hard to say what the future holds.

There are all kinds of force majeure external factors in this world.

What Wang Xiao can do well is to grasp the present, that's all.

……

After attending Mallory's birthday party, Wang Xiao returned to Washington to prepare for the start of the new season.

The NBA's 13-14 preseason season officially begins on October 5, and the Wizards' players will report to the team a week early for some recovery workouts.

Wang Xiao and other members of the coaching staff will study and analyze the schedule for the new season and formulate a training plan for the new season.

The Wizards' roster for the new season has not changed much from last season.

Whiteside joined the Heat with a maximum salary and left the team.

Antoine. Jamison also officially announced his retirement after winning the second championship of his career.

In addition, Raga, who was sent as an add-on to the Jazz first-round pick in the previous trade. Bell, although he did not announce his retirement in the summer, did not renew his contract with the Wizards.

This player became famous for defending Kobe Bryant when he was young, but his true defensive level can only be regarded as average in the league, especially when he gets older, loses his speed and explosiveness, and his ability on the defensive end has further declined, and there is no bright spot to speak of.

Last season, he played the least amount of minutes with the Wizards, and another bench center, Thackeray, teamed up to create a combination of Wizards' water cooler administrators, all the way to the championship ring.

Even if he wants to renew his contract with the Wizards this season, Wang Xiao will not want him.

As a result, the Wizards lost 3 players.

And Rudy, who was selected by Wang Xiao in the draft. Goebel & Allen. Crabbe also signed in the summer and made the Wizards roster.

This keeps the Wizards' roster at 13, which is as follows.

Point Guard: Stephen. Curry, Isaiah. Thomas.

Shooting Guard: Klay. Thompson, Allen. Crabbe.

Small forward: Ke Huai. Leonard, Paul. George, Chandler. Parsons, Jimmy. Butler, Caron. Butler.

Power Forward: Drummond. Green, Yi Jianlian.

Center: Rudy. Goebel, Robert. Thackeray.
