About a week after the championship parade, Dan Fagan officially received an invitation to meet with Hammond to discuss the early renewal of Yi Jianlian's contract.

Dan Fagan knew that Yi Jianlian had said in front of hundreds of thousands of Milwaukee fans who participated in the parade on the day of the parade that he was "willing to live in Milwaukee for the rest of his life", and immediately agreed to meet very happily.

Both sides also appeared at the agreed place on time at the appointed time, and Hammond chose a good café, because it was morning, even the hall was empty, and the whole environment was very quiet, which was also suitable for people like them who specialized in talking about cooperation.

The whole negotiation process went smoothly.

Hammond readily offered a contract with a maximum salary - 90 million for 5 years.

The 11~12 season will be executed, and in the fifth and final year of the contract, Yi Jianlian has a player option, which is also the standard for every superstar player.

However, in addition to this right, Hammond also added a very special right to the contract - the right to veto transactions!

This made Yi Jianlian a little surprised, there are only 6 people in the current league who have this right, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Derk Nowitzki, Wade, Anthony and Kobe, Kobe Bryant is also the first person to enjoy this right, when a reporter disclosed that Kobe Bryant's latest contract has the right to veto the transaction, the experts of the entire league, including fans, were a little shocked, because since the day there was the NBA, no player can control his own destiny, once he is traded, he can only obediently obey, Kobe's right undoubtedly gives him the capital to compete with the management for himself, which is definitely the highest treatment a player can enjoy!

Although Yi Jianlian didn't think the team would trade him, he also didn't think that the team would give him such rights.

Hammond noticed that Yi Jianlian was a little stunned, knowing that Yi Jianlian had seen the veto of the transaction, and spread his hands and smiled: "How is it?" Easy! Are you satisfied with the gift I prepared for you? ”

Hammond knows that even if he offers a contract with a maximum salary, Yi Jianlian will not have any surprises and surprises, after all, with Yi Jianlian's performance, if the 30 teams in the league have the opportunity to get him, they are afraid that they will immediately offer a contract with a maximum salary, and they will definitely not hesitate.

Therefore, he has been thinking about how to surprise Yi Jianlian.

It's also about showing the team's sincerity.

The veto of the deal was the biggest surprise he could think of. Only this surprise can make Yi Jianlian realize how much the team values him.

Yi Jianlian was indeed surprised, as far as he knew, even superstars could not have the right to veto a trade, such as the later Curry, when he signed a new contract after winning the regular season MVP, he asked the team for a trade veto and was rejected.

It can be seen that this right is really not something that can be obtained casually.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect such a surprise in the contract!"

Yi Jianlian signed his name on the renewal contract without saying a word, and looked up at Hammond after signing, "Okay, General Manager Hammond, I'm done!" ”

Yi Jian put on the pen cap, and Hammond really relaxed, this top priority in his heart was perfectly completed.

Next, the Bucks only need minor repairs and can still challenge for the championship in the new season.

After signing the contract, Yi Jianlian did not immediately start special training, but salted fish at home for a few days, this year he ended the game almost a month later than in previous years, plus the championship parade and other activities, it is now almost late June, he has just officially started his vacation, he has already completed a round of special training last year, because this season ended late, the body is more tired than last season, Yi Jianlian only thought about resting for a period of time, and then it is not too late to start training.

"Easy, don't forget! The talented boy I told you is coming to Milwaukee next month, and when the time comes, you can take him to train with him for a while, fulfill his wishes, and make it easier for me to sign him! ”

Well, this is the second reason why Yi Jianlian postponed his training, Dan Fagan really brought Brother Alphabet from Greece to the United States for training, for his little fan brother, Yi Jianlian could only be a salted fish for two days first.

June 25th.

The 2010 draft was held at Madison Square Garden.

The alliance is about to welcome a new batch of young talents.

From the perspective of latecomers, 2010 was not a big year for the draft, and only John Wall, Gordon Hayward, Paul George and Cousins were the only ones who were worth a certain amount of money, and the others could only be regarded as ordinary main players and role players with a certain reputation.

However, there was a very amazing record this year, the five Tigers from the University of Kentucky participated in the draft at the same time this year, and the final result was John Wall first in the first round, Cousins first and fifth, Patrick Patterson in the first round 14th, Eric Bledsoe 18th pick in the first round, and Daniel Orton 29th pick in the first round, all of which were selected in the first round!

This is the first time in history that five people from the same university have been selected in the first round of the draft at the same time, and the legend is comparable to that of the original "Michigan Five Tigers".

And there are two good missing pearls in the second round pick this year, one is Hassan Whiteside, and the other is Lance Stephenson.

Of course, compared to the former, the latter is not black enough, but it is not that Lance Stephenson is not strong enough, but that he is not brainy enough.

Strange to say, there were a lot of strange players in 2010, Stephenson, needless to say, Cousins was also the guy who later became known as "the league's No. 1 center below the brain".

There was also a Lazar Hayward, who claimed to be able to see "spirits", and he had spoken to a friend who had been dead for six years through some kind of medium.

In short, there are strange things every year, especially in 2010.

is also because there are not many high-quality players in this draft, and Yi Jianlian's list for Dan Fagan is much smaller than last year, and Dan Fagan only signed Paul George in the end.

The change of agent didn't make much of a difference to Paul George, who was eventually drafted by the Pacers with the 10th pick in the first round.

The Bucks only had a first-round pick of 30 picks in this year's draft, and they ultimately selected Hassan Whiteside.

This is something Yi Jianlian didn't expect, and he wondered why Hammond's vision was so good, and later he learned that Hammond was selected into the team purely because the team lacked a center substitute, and it wasn't that this guy impressed Hammond in anything.

It's also worth mentioning that Hammond has already greeted Linson in advance and is ready to officially cut Danny Green, whose performance in his first season really didn't make him feel any potential.

Yi Jianlian also agreed, there is no way, I am afraid that the only person in this world who can train Danny Green is Popovich!
