At the draft meeting, the three rookies selected by the king got together and took photos in the flash of the media to leave a memorial of their youth.

Eric Bledsoe calmed down and suddenly thought that although the Kings are the defending champions, they actually have point guards.

Point guard Jason Kidd is extremely solid as a starter.

This means that when he enters the Kings, he will definitely start off the bench and will not be able to enter the starting lineup for a long time.

The defending champions' first goal is definitely to defend their title, how much energy and time can be spent on a rookie like them?

Brad thought so much that it seemed that he could only ........ for the sake of the present Meet a few of your peers.

Thinking of this, Bledsoe's smile was even better on his face, and he spoke familiarly to Hassan Whiteside and Lance Stephenson.

Whiteside is a slightly shy big man, and Stephenson, a junior, is much more talkative, and he is very heavy, opening his mouth is all kinds of mantras, and he has a very good appetite for Bledsoe, and the two mingled.

Wang contacted the NBA officials on the scene tomorrow, and then came to the backcourt to meet with the three rookies.

When the three rookies saw a legendary coach like Wang Mingming, even the nervous Lance couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, enjoy this wonderful summer, with sunshine and beautiful women." Wang Mingming smiled and said to the rookies: "After all, now, you are all millionaires. ”

The three rookies looked at each other, real fake? The head coach shouted at them to relax and relax?

"Of course, you should still have to train, after you go to Sacramento to report, I will arrange a physical fitness teacher to help you record physical fitness data, if in the new season, I see your body fat rise, or other indicators exceed the standard, I dare not say, play must not think about it."

"Because you're not qualified."

In an instant, Wang Tomorrow viciously scared the three rookies, and the three twenty-year-old young men turned pale with fright, and repeatedly promised that they would definitely complete the summer special training.

"When you play Summer League with Coach Michael, take care to learn the tactics of our Kings, eh........ In fact, if you have the ability, you should learn more from the tactics of other teams. There are two kinds of people in the NBA, one is the player who plays with talent and instinct, this kind of player is like the Hulk, although fierce, but there is no one in ten thousand, and the other is playing with the ball quotient, not only will the career be long, but also very popular with the coach, well, you think about it, what kind of player you want to become. ”

The king will flicker tomorrow...... Speaking to the three of them earnestly, the three of them couldn't stop nodding, especially Whiteside, he felt that the coach was talking about himself, after all, he didn't have anything else to handle now except for a seven-foot-seven arm span.

Wang Ming said for a while, and then the three rookies were called by the staff to take a group photo.

Wang also said goodbye to Michael Curry, Dwayne Casey and others tomorrow, and left with Gal Gadot first.

"Now a lot of people are saying that the Kings are ready for Ron Artest to leave, and if you look at the news on the Internet, it's all about him and his agent."

Sitting in the car, Gail took out his mobile phone, and after the continuous development of smartphones, people began to get used to using mobile phones to access information online.

"I'll see."

Wang Tomorrow looked at it, and his face immediately fell.

"It was revealed that Ron Artest intends to seek hundreds of millions of top salaries, and his fate with the Kings is over."

"Kupchak met with the champion team late at night, but I didn't expect it to be him."

Wang read two articles tomorrow, and then stopped reading them.

Gail saw that Wang Tomorrow's face was very funny, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch him.

"What."

"Didn't do anything!"

Gale suddenly came up and kissed Wang Mingming.

The driver of the car turned his head and spat secretly, "Heh, rich man." ”

........

When King returns to Sacramento tomorrow, Artest's agent comes running.

David Bowman was the agent who became Artest in '08.

Bowman's predecessor was Mark Stevenson. And it was by following Stevenson's advice that Artest did not choose to jump out of his contract in the summer of '08. When he saw the players around him who were not as strong and famous as him getting a big contract, Artest naturally couldn't bear it anymore. In fact, Stevenson has been accused by Artest and other players in the league for his "lack of operational experience". In contrast, Bowman is much more experienced now, having previously helped his players such as Andrew Boggart, Peja Stojakovic and Vladimir Radmanovic get contracts that they are happy with.

Artest came to the Kings last season, and David Bowman also meant to add fuel to the fire.

But now, Artest's value has risen sharply, and the time is ripe for David Bowman's meaning, and it's time for Artest to think about a wave of "money" for himself.

As a veteran who is about to turn 31 years old, it is understandable to think like this.

Wang received David Bowman in the head coach's office tomorrow.

The two began with a non-nutritious pleasantry, with David Bowman congratulating Wang on his remarkable accomplishments in leading the Kings to last season.

Subsequently, David Bowman "went straight to the heart".

"Coach Wang, what Ron means is that I hope to get the sincerity of the Kings."

When Wang Tomorrow heard this, he sneered in his heart, and said in a light tone: "Oh? I wonder what the sincerity Ron wants to see looks like? Is it the championship trophy? ”

David Bowman was stunned, and his momentum instantly lowered his head, shouting that the king will be great tomorrow, and the aura of this championship coach is different.

Then David Bowman expressed that Artest also made a lot of contributions and sacrifices with the Kings last year.

This is certain for the king.

Because Artest sacrificed a certain amount of shooting power, the King's internal and external connection will be so perfect, and if Artest plays according to the Rockets, an average of 19 points per game is also appropriate.

The two continued to negotiate.

Negotiate this kind of thing, sleep first to talk about the amount, who will inevitably be passive.

King tomorrow has time and David Bowman to grind.

David Bowman thought to himself, anyway, Ron has been in contact with many teams now, and he may not necessarily stay with the Kings next season, so what else is there to grind?

So he directly quoted the price, "Coach Wang, Ron hopes to get a 6-year, 105 million contract." ”

Wang Mingming's face did not change, and he had already poked this agent dozens of times in his heart.

"Haha, it's good, say it, it's comfortable to say it."

Bowman: "........"

"It's too high to give."

Wang Tomorrow said a few words briefly, and there was no longer any meaning to talk.

David Bowman exclaimed, of course this price is on the high side, in fact, his employer has no intention of asking for such a high price at all, and the reason why the asking price is high is also for the later counteroffer, but now, Wang Tomorrow has an attitude of looking at it, and he doesn't want to bargain at all.

The two finally broke up, and the last contract given by Wang tomorrow was 60 million for 4 years, this "big contract" with an average annual salary of 15 million was still unable to move the hearts of people who fell into the eyes of money.

.......

With the advent of free agency, there is a sense of storm coming across the NBA.

The first to do it was the New Jersey Nets.

On June 26, the New Jersey Nets officially made a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks to trade Chris Douglas Roberts for the Bucks' 2012 second-round pick.

Roberts is a guy who is not very good character, and he was a regular in the team last season, but with the return of the UAE and the growth of rookie Terrence Williams, he gradually lost his main position. As a result, Roberts has publicly stated on several occasions that there are now many teams in the league who want to get him through trades. In the locker room, Roberts is also a very troublesome guy, publicly accusing general manager Van Dewig of favoring Yi Jianlian last season, and saying that Yi Jianlian affected his performance.

The Nets are clearly already clearing the way for the show and making plenty of room to attract big fish in the free market.

In the early hours of June 30, Nets president Rod Thorne officially announced a deal with the Wizards, exchanging Yi Jianlian and some cash for guard swingman Quinton Rose. At the same time, the Wizards also officially announced the news that they have Yi Jianlian, and the UAE will be teammates with this year's new draft pick John Wall.

Quinton Rose played in 52 games for the Wizards last season, averaging 1.8 points in 10.8 minutes per game, and is a standard fringe man, while Yi Jianlian also played a season as a Nets starter last season, averaging six or seven rebounds per game.

Next season, Yi Jianlian's salary will reach $4.05 million, while Rose's salary will only be $1.4 million. For the Nets, the deal freed up $3 million in salary caps, and they now have $30 million in salary capsibility to pursue big-name free agents this summer, more than the Kings.

Chinese fans wish the UAE League, the UAE is actually playing well, but it is plagued by injuries, and the fans believe that the UAE can break into the league.

At the very least, there is also Chinese head coach Wang Mingming leading the way.

On the evening of June 30, ESPN expert Chad Ford revealed a signing message.

The Timberwolves have reached a deal with Nikola Pekovic, a 2008 second-round pick and known as Europe's No. 1 center, who plays for Panathinaikos FC, to join the Timberwolves on a three-year, $13 million contract. Previously, it was rumored that the Rockets were going to fight for Pekovic, but now it looks like the Rockets have completely lost to the Timberwolves in this competition.

Then, on July 1, the 2010 NBA free agency officially opened.

The first free agent to sign was Drew Gooden.

According to the news, Drew Gooden has reached an agreement with the Milwaukee Bucks, and Gooden is about to accept a five-year, $32 million contract from the Bucks. According to the relevant regulations of the alliance, this signing can be officially completed as early as July 8.

In fact, not only Gooden, but all players can basically negotiate their contracts, but the signing will not be until July 8 at the earliest.

I thought that with so many free agents, the free market would be very hot on the first day, but in fact, everyone was very conservative on the first day, and in the end, only Gooden completed the signing.

This makes Gooden a little hurt, and he feels as if he signed a contract early, in case the market is generally high this year, and everyone's salary is very high, then isn't he a big loss?

Finally, on the evening of July 1, the Nets revealed that they had signed two rookies.

One is called Ben Youzuo and the other is Brian Zobek.

In addition, the 76ers announced the appointment of Brian James and Quinn Schneider as assistant coaches.

Previously, several assistant teachers who worked with Wang Mingming retired and left, and in less than a year, 76 people are gradually erasing all the traces left by Wang Mingming.

Wang stayed in the U.S. tomorrow to continue operating in the free agency and approached some players.

Ron Artest is now certain to leave the Kings, while Chris Bosh has been ambiguous.

On July 2, Mirisic, Aamir Johnson, Channing Frye and others renewed their contracts.

And the big fish in the free market - Paul Pierce and Rudy Gay have also renewed their contracts with their parent teams, among which Paul Pierce's four-year, $61 million contract extension is called the "old Celtics" by the media.

If Wang was willing to renew Ron Artest for 4 years and 60 million tomorrow, now seeing Paul Pearce's contract renewal, he feels that 60 million for 4 years is still high, and 40 million for 4 years is about the same.

On July 3, Wang's office welcomed several free agent agents.

This includes two medium fish on the market.

"El is coming to the king?"

Wang Tomorrow was a little surprised, and Al Harrington's agent approached him.

"Yes, Al has always wanted to continue to play under Coach You, he has been on other teams for the past two years, and they don't know how to use him, so he struggles, and only you, Coach, only you can really use Al and play to his strengths."

"Yes, but the problem is, in terms of money, the Kings may not be able to offer a higher price than he has on the market right now."

"As long as it's equivalent, Al is willing to come and work for you."

To be fair, Al Harrington is only 30 years old, and he averaged 17 points per game with the Knicks last season, and he has maintained good personal form and has not been plagued by injuries.

The main reason for his decline in value is the Knicks' poor record, and his shooting percentage is lower than his career average, which looks like he has entered a career decline.

Wang chatted with Al Harrington's agent for a long time tomorrow and finally reached a verbal agreement with him.

The other mid-fish is defensive titan Raja Bale.

The 33-year-old Raja Bale, who underwent surgery on his left wrist last season and has been recovering from an injury, still has enough money in the market as a defensive player to sign as a mini-mid-range player.

Raja Bell has shot 41 percent from three-point range in his career and has played for six different NBA teams in his career, averaging around 10 points per game.

But the Kings already have DeRozan and Afflaro at the shooting guard position, and after Raja Bell arrives, if he signs as a mid-range, he certainly can't be the third bench.

So it's not that the two sides disagree on the amount, but that it's hard to agree on the status of the team.
