The summer time was basically spent on the Olympics, going home to rest for a week, seeing that it was about to be October, and Gal Gadot promised a vacation and had no time to go, the two finally came out of home, flew to Dali, Lijiang, Yunnan, and traveled for a week, and then returned to the United States.

The new season is imminent, and the 76ers have also been hit hard in the summer trade market, with some potential players out of the team and forced to make some trades.

Wang only has one year left on his contract tomorrow, but it is tacit that neither he nor Billy King has proposed to negotiate a contract extension, and for the two, this is not yet the time for a showdown, and it is not too late to talk about this topic next summer.

Not long after Wang landed tomorrow, Iverson called and invited Wang to join their party.

"What party?"

Wang Mingming was a little confused.

"It's just a normal pre-season party, and now there are 20 people in the squad, and although some people will leave, I still want to get acquainted with everyone first and improve the relationship!"

Iverson said so, but when the king heard it tomorrow, he frowned.

"No, let's play." Wang Ming glanced at Gal Gadot and said, "I still have a lot of things to do, and I'm still busy these days." ”

Iverson didn't expect Wang Tomorrow to reject him, and he was a little disappointed, but he didn't care.

After a few more conversations, the two hung up.

Wang Mingming's eyes flashed a few times, and there was a subtle change on his face.

Gail looked at him and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, Aaron Iverson has a party, and he wants to call me along." Wang Tomorrow explained.

"Actually, you can go and get to know the new players."

"Haha, I'm mistaken, they should know me." Wang Mingming smiled dumbly, shook his head, and did not go to this meeting, in fact, there were other meanings.

Gail didn't understand, but to her, none of that mattered.

Two days later.

Wachovia Center Arena.

Wang will officially start work in his office tomorrow, holding the new roster and materials in his hand, which is about the operation of the 76ers' summer trade market.

Billy King discussed some important operations with Wang Mingming, and some were not very important, such as the introduction of marginal people, etc., which were not talked to Wang Mingming, anyway, those who stayed in the training camp at that time were all Wang Mingming's ideas.

The first is that the coaching staff has made changes.

This summer, Tyronn Lue retired, and after retiring, Tyronn Lue, after a rigorous written test and interview, layers of screening, and careful consideration, finally successfully joined the 76ers coaching staff and became a trainee assistant coach of the 76ers, and is currently mainly responsible for player development consultants.

Moses Malone withdrew from the coaching staff, and the celebrity and the 76ers won another championship, but they always felt that their presence was not strong, and they were not short of money, and after the experience, there was no need to go online again.

Randy Ayes and Jim have signed a new contract, and Randy Ayes will continue to serve as Wang's No. 1 assistant coach in the new season.

In addition, the coaching staff brought in a strength and conditioning coach, 34-year-old Dave Jorge.

Dave Jorg previously coached the Dakota Wizards in the Development League, where he won the 2006-07 Development League championship. Prior to that, he had won four trophies, including one in the IBA and three in the CBA.

Last season, Dave Jorg was an assistant coach with the Grizzlies, and Billy King had a little thought and poached him.

Hearing that it was an invitation from the championship team, Dave Joelg gladly accepted, not to mention, he also wanted to learn something from Wang Tomorrow.

It's a big change in terms of players.

Wang looked at it tomorrow and found that several important players had left, such as Louis Williams.

Louis Williams himself was a contender for the Sixth Man of the Year last season, scoring 20+ points in many games in the playoffs, and the high school player who spent his rookie contract was only 22 years old, so he had a certain popularity in the market, and eventually the Hawks, Clippers, Warriors and other teams made offers.

The 76ers had no salary space to match and watched as Louis Williams finally signed with the Hawks for five years, $37 million.

The average annual salary of this contract is $7.4 million, which is not as good as an All-Star, but it is definitely more than the average starter, which is relatively high in a middle-class contract.

In addition, Gordon Girisek, Kalvin Booth, Ilyasova, Reggie Evans and others have left the team.

Five players left the team.

It has been confirmed that the contract has been renewed, and there are currently 10 players who will play with the 76ers next season, and at present, there are still 5 positions on the team before the start of the new season.

Soon, the team held its first coaching staff meeting before the new season.

Wang introduced Randy Ayes and Jim to "new members" Tyronn Lue and Dave Jorg, of whom Tyronn Lue is not new, but it is rare in NBA history to seamlessly transition from player retirement to coach like him.

Everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, which was considered to be acquaintance.

"So, what advice do you have before the new season starts?"

Wang began to ask the coach tomorrow, but his eyes narrowed to the two new members.

Although Dave Joerg is a physical trainer, in fact, he has a very unique view of basketball, and he has also done his homework, so as soon as Wang asks a question tomorrow, he will immediately tell the story.

"I've found that we don't have a lack of players at the point guard position, and if Allen Iverson is a shooting guard, there is no point guard on the first and second teams."

"Well, yes, Aaron is a quantile of the place." Wang Ming nodded in agreement.

"I would suggest that before the start of the new season, we look for one or two suitable point guards to complement our line, after all, we have at least two players on the bench at the moment."

"Do you have any recommendations? Dave. The king asked tomorrow.

Dave Jolg really did the investigation, and he said: "I was an assistant coach with the Grizzlies last season, and I saw a good point guard on the team, who can break through, who is not afraid of confrontation, and although he is shooting a little bad at the moment, he is working hard and going in a good direction, and I think he is a point guard who is directly recommended." ”

"Oh? What's the name of this point guard? It can't be Mike Conley, right? Assistant Teacher Randy laughed and started the joke.

Conley was last year's No. 4 pick, but the Grizzlies have cultivated him as a core, although they brought in OJ Mayo this year, they still won't change this strategy, and if they want to get Conley, the 76ers are expected to trade Paul Millsap. But the 76ers are clearly not going to let go of the players on the team who have gradually grown into All-Stars.

"No, not Conley." Dave smiled.
