Chapter 178: Draft Conference
But now it's only the 28th pick in the second round, and it is impossible to select these two players from prestigious schools anyway, so Davidson simply didn't care much about this second-round pick, since the Suns opened their mouths to ask for it, then simply forget it for them.
……
The two sides reached a verbal trade agreement to wait until the draft was over to announce the deal.
Barkley called Davidson that night in excitement, he was looking forward to joining the Kings, and he saw the Finals this season from beginning to end!
The strength of the Kings is definitely not as good as the Bulls, but Barkley is quite confident that as long as he joins the Kings, it will definitely not be difficult to kill the Bulls.
When the time comes, kill the Bulls and win the championship, and the gold content of this championship will be frighteningly high.
The Bulls are known as the strongest team in NBA history, and killing such a team to win the championship, such a championship ring is definitely a top two!
Davidson is also quite looking forward to the start of next season, and the Kings starting lineup next season has really reached a terrifying point.
Murraysan, Barkley, Daba, Richmond plus Nash, such a lineup, no team in the whole league is an opponent.
The only thing is that the bench is still a little weak, maybe even weaker than this season that has just ended, and Petri and himself must still have to think of a way.
After negotiating a deal with the Suns, the next most important thing in front of the Kings is Muresan's contract extension.
According to Petri's plan, he is going to give Murraysan a four-year, $20 million contract, an average of $5 million a year.
At first glance, this contract is really a lot, you must know that Barkley's contract is actually only $4.76 million.
The contract is higher than Barkley's, and Petri feels that this contract is not low.
In addition to Muresan, the Kings also announced that they had dropped the team option for buses as soon as the season ended.
Then he signed a two-year contract with the bus, but there is not much to say about this contract, according to the rules of the alliance, this contract can only be signed for two years and 2.9 million US dollars at most.
I have to say that the king is really making a lot of money, and a player like Daba has signed for two years with an annual salary of only one million, and he can't find such a cheap good thing in the entire league.
……
'95 is a special period in NBA history, and '96 is no different.
The new wage agreement does not introduce a maximum salary rule for players as Stern planned, which means that the salary of some players who meet the rules can be infinite.
This category of players certainly does not include rookie players who are less than three years old, such as Daba.
As long as the owner is willing to give money, even if it is an annual salary of $100 million for a player who meets the conditions, it is perfectly fine......
Because of the failure to negotiate player salary cap regulations, this year's offseason player signings can be described as unbelievable.
Jordan signed a contract with the Bulls directly with an annual salary of 30 million!
$30 million!
You must know that in the next new season, that is, the 96-97 season, the team's salary cap is only a little more than 24 million points......
Jordan's salary alone is far higher than the salary cap!
Some fans may wonder why Jordan was able to sign such a big contract, and one person's salary exceeds the salary cap, is this salary cap not an ornament?!
The salary cap is naturally not a decoration, mainly for the reason of the Bird Clause, a team can appoint a player who meets the Bird Clause, whose salary is not counted towards the salary cap.
In other words, Jordan's annual salary of 30 million is not included in the salary cap, which is why Jordan can sign such a big contract.
Jordan's crazy contract directly disrupted the market, and countless players who happened to be in the contract year all looked at the team with their eyes, Jordan can get 30 million, although the strength of these players is not as good as Jordan, it can't be too outrageous, right? !
As a result, Pacers big man Reggie Miller signed a contract with the Pacers with an annual salary of $11.25 million.
You must know that before this, it is very rare for the alliance to have an annual salary of tens of millions, let alone an annual salary of tens of millions, and an annual salary of more than five million is very rare.
Now that Jordan is so stirred up, the free market is completely messed up, and it is an individual who can ask for a super contract.
In this situation, Petri is in trouble......
Because of Muressan's point, it is obvious that five million cannot be signed.
Murraysan is arguably one of the best blue-collar centers in the league today, with excellent rebounding and interior defense, and it is obviously impossible to sign for only $5 million.
Davidson also noticed the madness in the free market, and he was not prepared to mix in with Muresan's signing.
In Davidson's view, the king has to sign if he doesn't sign this point, and he has to give the right price according to the situation, otherwise, if Muraysan leaves, the king will have no place to cry at that time.
Now Davidson is focusing on the draft, and this time the Kings only have one pick, which is the 14th pick they took from the Suns.
On June 26, the draft began in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
After a year, Davidson returned to New Jersey, which was naturally embarrassing.
If I had stayed in New Jersey, what would I be like now?
Anyway, one thing is certain, the Nets will definitely not be as miserable as they are now, almost from a championship-level team to a fish belly team.
At the draft meeting, Davidson also saw Willis Reed.
I haven't seen him for a year, and Reed, who was originally in high spirits, looks a lot haggard.
It's normal to think about it, the team is in such a predicament, and he, the general manager, is naturally anxious.
After seeing Davidson, Reed smiled bitterly at Davidson and nodded, if he wants to say that the thing he regrets the most now is naturally to let Davidson go in the first place.
Dad is also coming with Davidson this time, he has decided to step down before the start of next season, and this time he came to the draft site just to get together with old friends.
Seeing that Dad was coming, many coaches in the venue got up to say hello, and by the way, they also greeted Davidson.
Davidson is definitely the hottest head coach in the league these days, and it's no exaggeration to describe it as promising.
There are many young coaches in the league, but the vast majority of young coaches cannot last in their positions for three years......
Because the team can't give these young coaches too much time, they haven't played anything in three years, so they can only roll up and get out.
Now that it has only taken Davidson a year to take the Kings to what they are now, it's safe to assume that Davidson's position as head coach is unmatched.
Daddy and Davidson also greeted each other warmly.
Of course, not everyone is welcoming Daddy and Davidson, like Larry Brown and Pat Riley......
