Chapter 312: You Liar!
Poaching people from the Wizards may seem like a good idea, but it's actually very unfeasible.
Because this summer, the only player whose Wizards contract expires is Whiteside.
Curry's new contract kicks off in the summer of '13, while George has a second-year franchise option that won't be extended until next year. Thompson, Leonard, Chandler, Parsons and Jimmy Butler are also in contract years and won't be considered for a contract extension until 15 years.
Whiteside and George are rookies in the same year, but George is the first-round lottery favourite, while Whiteside is a second-round rookie.
There is a difference between the two in terms of contract length, George signed a 2+2 rookie contract, and Whiteside signed a 2+1 contract.
This season, Whiteside's performance has been obvious to all, and his level on the inside has even overshadowed his first two predecessors, Jordan Jr. and McGee.
Whiteside's free throws are much better than Jordan Jr., and his concentration is better than McGee's.
With an average of about 28 minutes per game, Whiteside's efficiency is higher than that of Jordan Jr. and McGee, so you can imagine how beautiful his stats will be when his average minutes are increased to 30 or even more than 35 minutes.
As far as Wang Xiao knows, many teams are ready to expel Whiteside from the maximum salary contract, but on his side, like the previous two seasons, he is not ready to keep Whiteside.
In the middle of the season, Whiteside had already made it clear that he was unhappy with his playing time and that he deserved more opportunities, and that the Wizards, who play small-ball tactics, could not afford to give him more opportunities to perform.
And with Whiteside's performance this season, even if he doesn't get a maximum salary contract, the starting salary is at least 10 million, and the team will renew George's contract next year, and Leonard and Thompson's contract renewal will be considered in 15 years, and the Wizards don't have so much money to give a blue-collar center.
Therefore, Whiteside's departure is inevitable, and Wang Xiao will not regret it.
In fact, with Whiteside's current value, if it were traded on a sign-and-trade basis, it should be possible to get a higher draft pick, but in Wang Xiao's case, this is not true.
Wang Xiao's reputation is almost unknown in the league, and no team would be stupid enough to trade their team's draft picks to Wang Xiao, because they will regret it in a few years.
The current Wang Xiao is not able to exchange for high draft picks unless Curry, George and others are used as bargaining chips.
Without draft picks as filling, Whiteside can only be exchanged for some worthless garbage contracts in the book, which makes no sense, and it is better to let him go and let him sign freely.
After Wang Xiao left the team at Whiteside, he already had a target for the next blue-collar center of the Wizards.
……
After last season's draft, the Wizards drafted Lamb with the No. 13 pick and took Beverley to get a 13-year first-round pick from the Jazz.
At that time, Wang Xiao's idea was to use the Jazz, a relatively high draft pick, to intercept Huatetokounmpo.
However, because of the butterfly effect caused by their own appearance, the records of the Eastern and Western teams have changed a lot this season, the Jazz record ranks ninth in the West, and only got the sixteenth pick, while the Bucks who fancy Antetokounmpo have become bigger because of the competition in the East, and there are more Wizards of Wang Xiao, Jeremy Lin's Nets and Wall's 76ers, and the final record is only 11th in the East, and the wins are nearly ten games less than the Jazz.
A worse record, combined with slightly better luck, allowed the Bucks to get the No. 12 pick in the first round, three picks ahead of the No. 15 pick on another plane.
As a result, Wang Xiao's chances of intercepting Huatetokounmpo are very slim.
Fortunately, Wang Xiao still has planB.
In the '13 draft, in addition to Antetokounmpo, there was a pearl with a lower draft pick.
Rudy. Gobert, two-time Defensive Player of the Year 9 winner, Jazz Defensive Iron Gate.
In another plane, Gobert was drafted by the Nuggets with the 27th pick in the first round and was quickly traded to the Jazz as a headfiller.
And Wang Xiao was originally going to use the draft pick to intercept Huarttokounmpo, and then use the trade to exchange Gobert for it.
But now Antetokounmpo is basically out of play, so he simply used the No. 16 pick to cut off Gobert directly, saving him a lot of long nights.
Originally, Wang Xiao was the MVP of the regular season in the 19th season, the Greek mythical beast Giannis. Antetokounmpo attached great importance to the fact that the Greek mythical beast was like a size-sized James at that time, and the impact was almost unstoppable.
But as this season progresses, his original obsession with Brother Alphabet has faded a lot.
For no other reason, the Wizards' front line is too congested right now.
George, Leonard, Green, Cuarón. Butler, Antoine. Jamison, Jimmy. Butler, Chandler. Parsons, and even Yi Jianlian......
Even if Jamison retires next season, the Wizards will still have seven forward players who will split the minutes of the two forward positions.
How can the entire Wizards still have Antetokounmpo's playing time?
Moreover, he is different from Chandler, Parsons and other shooters, and he has poor projection ability, and he must attack with the ball to exert his maximum power.
These various factors have led to Wang Xiao's pursuit of Brother Alphabet is not very big, if the pick can be selected, then he will definitely make some attempts, but if the draft pick is not enough, then he will not bother to think hard, and even break the current good chemistry of the Wizards to forcibly pursue.
......
The 2013 draft kicks off on June 27.
The venue for this year's draft is no longer Madison Square Garden, home of the Knicks, but the Barclays Center in Brooklyn after the Nets' newly relocated location.
As always, as the head coach of the Wizards, Wang Xiao came to New York the day before the draft to prepare for the upcoming draft.
has participated in the draft conference many times, so that Wang Xiao is already very familiar with the process of the draft conference.
13 is a small year for the draft, and among the top 10 players in the draft, only the second pick Oladipo and the tenth pick McCollum will be worth in the future, and looking at the entire 13 years of rookies, there are only a few talents.
Therefore, Wang Xiao does not think that there will be any surprises in this draft.
However, when the door of the hotel where he stayed was blocked, Wang Xiao realized that this draft meeting may be different from the past......
"You liar!"
looked at the willow eyebrows upside down and glared at her Ma Luoli angrily. Adnams.
Wang Xiao understands that this draft meeting may be ...... Particularly noisy.
