With an annual salary of 15 million, what is this concept?

In the NBA in 2014, the highest-paid coach in the NBA was Clippers head coach Doug Murphy. Rivers, whose annual salary is $7 million, is followed by Spurs head coach Greg Lee. Popovich's $6.5 million annual salary.

Wang Xiao renewed his contract with the Wizards a year ago, and due to his excellent record and championship blessing, the annual salary of the contract extension is $6 million, ranking third among coaches.

However, Wang Xiao had no intention of signing a long-term contract at that time, and the Wizards did not seem to be willing to give a contract that was too long, so the term of the new contract was only 2 years, that is, this summer.

That's one of the reasons why Wesley has ideas.

And although 15 million is nothing among players, it is a super high salary that is unique in the history of NBA coaching.

When he heard Wesley say that his annual salary was 15 million, to be honest, Wang Xiao couldn't help but jump in his heart.

The local tyrant is still a cow breaker!

Even if he is not very persistent in the pursuit of money, the annual salary of 15 million US dollars is still attractive, after all, it is hundreds of millions of RMB a year!

After a moment of silence, Wang Xiao laughed.

"Mr. Wesley, you're offering a lot of money, but it's not a good time to discuss it, my team is still working on a place in the finals, and I don't want anything to distract me until I lead the team to defend the title."

Although Wang Xiao did not directly refuse, his words also showed the general meaning.

Wesley's face was slightly disappointed, while Mallory was glaring at Wang Xiao with a little annoyance on her face.

In Mallory's opinion, it would really be a good thing if Wang Xiao could also come to the Bucks, but Wang Xiao actually refused his father's invitation.

This made her feel very lost, and she thought that with her relationship with Wang Xiao, the other party would agree immediately.

"Of course, I'll think about it carefully when the finals are over." Seeing Ma Luoli's expression, Wang Xiao hurriedly said: "Congratulations again on getting the top pick, Ma Luoli's luck is really good, does the Bucks have any opinion on the selection of the top pick in this year's NBA draft?" ”

As the head coach of another team, it would have been a very unreasonable thing to ask this sentence, and there was a suspicion of eavesdropping on the secrets of other teams.

But when Wang Xiao asked this, Wesley was overjoyed.

Wang Xiao's vision is well-known in the league, and few players selected by him cannot be beaten.

He invited Wang Xiao to dinner, on the one hand, he wanted to dig people, and on the other hand, he also had such a mind.

"At the moment, we have a preliminary eye on the University of Kansas small forward Andrew. Wiggins, I don't know what you think of him, Wang. ”

Andrew. Wiggins, apparently, is the safest choice, as the most prestigious rookie of 2014, as the No. 1 high school student in the nation last year. Wiggins averaged 17 points and 5.9 rebounds per game in his first season in the NCAA, setting a scoring record for a first-year player at the University of Kansas, and was named to the 12th League's Rookie of the Year and was named to the 12th League's First Team.

Looking at the entire NCAA, except for the three Chinese who are so strong that their lives are doubtful at Harvard, there are only a few people whose strength and prestige can be compared to Wiggins.

"Wiggins is a really good choice."

Wang Xiao nodded.

In another plane, Wiggins was drafted by the Cavaliers and then traded to the Timberwolves as a chip in exchange for Kevin. Love, and in the Timberwolves, Wiggins quickly grew into an excellent scorer with 20+ points, but the Timberwolves still finished at the bottom of the season year after year, even if they later selected the top pick Towns, it was still the same, until they got Jimmy. Butler finally broke the nightmare and returned to the playoffs.

And I can't hold on for even one season, Jimmy. Butler couldn't stand the bad atmosphere in the Timberwolves locker room, and angrily uttered the classic - "I'm not the most talented person on the team." Who is the most talented player? It's Downs. Who is the most favored player by God? It's Wiggins. Who is the hardest working person to play? It's me!! ”

It is precisely because of this that Wiggins' ceiling is limited, even if he is a scorer who averages 20+ contributions per game, he is not a player worth pursuing.

"However, I think now that the Bucks have Kenyanny on the front line. Antetokounmpo, then there is no need to pick another striker. ”

Wang Xiao said lightly: "Kenyanny's talent is very outstanding, he is fully qualified for the work on the front line, and can even do it very, very well." ”

"What do you mean, King?"

Wesley's heart couldn't help but move.

He doesn't doubt Wang Xiao's purpose, the Bucks have no possibility of competing with the Wizards at all, and the Wizards don't have the draft picks in the first round this season, so there is no point in fooling him, not to mention that there is a relationship with Mallory, and it is not very likely.

"I think Joel. Embiid is a good example. ”

Wang Xiao said.

"Joel. Embiid? ”

As one of the limited big men in this year's class, Embiid has indeed attracted a lot of attention, and the draft pick prediction has always been within the top five, and there is even a possibility of becoming the top pick.

But since Embiid is on the same team as Wiggins, most of the shine is still overshadowed by Wiggins.

"Is it really okay to be a tech-savvy big man like Embiid?"

Embiid is not a traditional center, he has a comprehensive skill set and can be inside and out, but because of this, many scouts are not particularly optimistic about Embiid, after all, the current league is still imprinted with the shadow of the traditional center in the past.

In their opinion, a tall and strong center who is proficient in interior offense is king, and a center like Embiid, although the interior offensive level is also good, many people still have reservations about whether they can adapt to the NBA with strong physical confrontation.

Although Wesley also watches the NBA and knows a little bit about the ball, his professionalism is still much worse than that of scouts, so he is very convinced by the Bucks scouting report.

But in the entire league, is there a scout's vision that can compare to Wang Xiao?

"In that case, I'll consider your opinion!"

Wesley said with a smile.

He didn't say he would definitely pick Embiid, because as a successful businessman, he is used to not saying things completely to death, and there will always be some room for maneuver.

"Also, in addition to Embiid, I suggest you use second-round picks to pick another player."

"Nikolai. Jokic. ”

Nikolai. Jokic?

Hearing the name, Wesley was inevitably stunned.

He had never heard of the name.

"That's right, he's a professional basketball player from Serbia, playing as a center."

Wang Xiao said with a smile.

Wesley couldn't help but be stunned again.

Center? Isn't Embiid the center? Why two centers?
