Sending Wang Meng and Cheng Jie to Harvard University, the admission procedures and other procedures were very smooth, but it was not so easy to find an English teacher for the two.

The English foundation of the two is too poor, although there are English courses in China since primary school, but neither of them is obviously the kind of child who loves to learn.

Teaching them English must start from the basics, and they also need to know Chinese, otherwise it will be like a chicken and a duck.

There are many domestic international students at Harvard University, but most of them focus on their own coursework, and there are not many who can concentrate on teaching them, and they can't find suitable candidates in a day and a half.

However, this kind of small matter does not need Wang Xiao to bother, just hand it over to Jack, the current head coach of the Harvard basketball team.

Wang Meng and Cheng Jie couldn't understand English and couldn't understand the tactical arrangement, which was something that Jack was anxious about, not Wang Xiao.

After Wang Xiao settled the two, he respectively sent Reggie. Miller and Ron. Artest's growth template card was used by the two of them, and then they flew back to Washington without stopping.

At this time, the time has also entered December, the free market is about to open, and the first problem the Wizards have to face is the contract extension of Jordan Jr.

When the NBA shutdown ended, Jordan Jr.'s agent communicated with the Wizards.

He made it clear that Jordan Jr.'s contract extension must be a max salary contract, otherwise they will not consider renewing his contract with the Wizards.

Jordan Jr.'s agent has the confidence to say such things.

Last season, Haywood's departure gave Jordan Jr. a chance to really play, and in the Wizards, a team that is generally biased towards the outside style, Jordan Jr. is the only pillar of the interior, Jordan Jr. averaged a double-double per game throughout the season, and can contribute 2.4 blocks per game.

In today's era of poor high-quality insiders, it is normal to get a top salary.

In fact, in another time and space, Jordan Jr. only averaged 7+7 per game in the Clippers, and then got a four-year, $43 million offer contract from the Warriors, forcing the Clippers to choose to match this contract at that time.

And now, with the same timeline, with the support of Wang Xiao's training system and tactics, Jordan Jr.'s data has been further improved, and the price has naturally risen.

While Jordan Jr. and his agent can't negotiate with any team management until free agency market opens, they can be sure that there are definitely plenty of teams willing to offer them max contracts.

Getting a max salary with the Wizards is obviously the best option, and the Wizards, who reached the Finals last season, traded Harden and Danny. Green, but no one can be sure whether Wang Xiao will develop a second or third Harden after showing his talents in the draft.

Playing on this team, it is very likely that you will lift the championship trophy and gain fame and fortune.

But if the Wizards refuse to give Jordan Jr. a contract with a maximum salary, then Jordan Jr. is not averse to playing on other teams.

In fact, Jordan Jr. is a little tired of constantly acting as a super blue-collar worker, grabbing rebounds in the card position, and assisting in defense......

He also wanted to be the interior tactical core of a team like O'Neal, Da Yao, and Howard.

The rapid improvement of two seasons with the Wizards made him want to give it a try.

……

Regarding the appeal of Jordan Jr. and his agent, Wang Xiao did not immediately reply.

But in fact, Wang Xiao already has a plan.

It is impossible to give Little Jordan a top salary, and even giving him a contract with an annual salary of 10 million is a bit extravagant in Wang Xiao's opinion.

In the 11-12 season, the NBA's announced salary cap is $5,804, and the Wizards still have plenty of salary space, but Wang Xiao can't squander this salary space casually.

This season will be Curry's contract year, and with Curry's performance in previous seasons, this will inevitably be a max salary contract, and Curry has become the youngest MVP in history, and in the new collective bargaining agreement, a new clause for NBA players who are on rookie contracts - the Curry clause.

The clause states that if a player has been named MVP on a rookie contract, or has been selected as a starter twice in the All-Star Game, or has been named to the All-Star Team twice, the Curry clause will be activated, and his new contract can reach a maximum salary cap of 30% of the team's salary cap.

Wang Xiao saw it clearly, this was obviously the Ross clause in another time and space.

But think about it, in this time and space, because of his obstruction, Curry took away the youngest MVP in history belonging to Rose, and it is naturally impossible for the new collective bargaining agreement to have a Rose clause, and it will be replaced by a Curry clause.

In fact, the reason why Wang Xiao let Harden go so decisively last season has something to do with this.

Last season, Harden won the Sixth Man of the Year for two consecutive years, and was also selected to the All-NBA Team for three times, and this season, with the strength to the next level, Harden is likely to continue to be re-elected to the All-Star Team, then his Curry clause will also be activated, and what awaits the Wizards will be two super max salary contracts, and only two players may occupy more than 30 million salary space.

Now let Harden go, but if Jordan Jr. is re-signed with the maximum salary, then the result will be similar.

Jordan Jr. is obviously not very important for the Wizards, and while he can provide good basket protection and rebounding protection, it is not very important for the Wizards.

Especially when the league's top power center withers further, the importance of Jordan Jr. is even less significant.

Da Yao and O'Neal have announced their retirement, Duncan Garnett is dying, Howard will also suffer injuries this season, and his strength will further decline, and such as Stoudemire, Griffin and other so-called tough interior players are actually just paper tigers.

As for the other players like Nowitzki, Bosh, Gasol and Aldridge, they are all interior players with a style that leans towards the outside, and they are not very lethal in the box, and McGee and Whiteside are more than enough to deal with.

So letting go of Jordan Jr. doesn't have much impact on the Wizards.

What's more, in the draft, Wang Xiao selected Leonard and Thompson, both of whom are top outside defensive players, plus Paul George, with a little adjustment, the Wizards' defense will be solid, and there is no need for the center to frequently supplement the defense.

After a long time of getting a response from the Wizards, Jordan Jr.'s agent knew what he meant, so he began to spread the talk that Jordan Jr. wanted a big contract as a way to attract more team interest

This was clearly the right thing to do, and when it came to Dec. 9 and the free agency market officially opened, there were teams that made offers for Jordan Jr.
