The Dallas Mavericks got their wish and drafted Gobert, which in the eyes of the likes of Yiyang and Carlisle is part of the Mavericks' summer reinforcements. But on the outside, not many people have any hope of a mere 27th pick.

People are expecting Bennett and Irving to lead the team to glory, Dallas Mavericks? Those guys always thunder and rain in the summer. Just a rookie with the 27th pick can't make them through the Western Conference Finals.

What the outside world thinks of the Mavericks, Yiyang doesn't care. As Cuban often said, those of them who play on the court know best what players are best suited to the team. Those reporters are just messing around. When Cuban brought in Odom the year before last, reporters said that the Mavericks would soar, but what was the result?

As it turns out, whether a team's signings are good or not has nothing to do with the media's reaction. Until the start of next season, no one can say anything about it.

So, even though the media was unimpressed by Cuban's selection, the Mavericks showed their enthusiasm. Cuban also said that he would officially sign with Gobert soon, and Gobert couldn't wait to start his revenge plan. All the teams that missed him or abandoned him on draft night, Gobert would make them look good.

Before leaving Brooklyn, Gobert took the initiative to make a phone call to Yiyang, which made Yiyang feel extremely happy.

"You want to train with me in the summer?" Yiyang didn't expect that a rookie who had not officially signed a contract with the team would make such a request.

"Well, I want to hurry up and improve myself. And everyone knows that you are the best player in the league! "Gobert is outspoken, and he always likes to hone himself with the strong.

Gobert impressed Yiyang and Cuban the most, not because of his height and reach, but because of his drive. He will never rest on his laurels, nor will he be left behind. The other party is the best in the country, so what? Gobert's mind is always thinking about how to surpass his opponents!

"Training with me is very hard. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to adapt to this level of training. Yiyang naturally welcomes Gobert to go to Brickley's training camp with him for a "makeover", but can Gobert, a player who has never played a single official game in the United States, withstand Brickley's sports methods specially prepared for superstars?

"Are you tired of your training?" Goebel asked rhetorically, his serious tone didn't sound like he was joking with Yiyang.

"Poof, do you think we're doing human modification surgery in a training camp? Of course not! Our special training is tiring and immortal! Yiyang replied with a smile, Gobert, sometimes I don't know if I'm really stupid or pretending to be stupid. On the basketball court, he is extremely fierce, but off the basketball court, he is like a cute child.

At this point, the 2013 draft is officially over for Yiyang and the Mavericks, and at this time, the general managers of all 30 NBA teams are waiting, waiting for the door to open the free agent market.

At this time of summer, while there are no games in the NBA, the question of belonging to the stars and the fierce competition between the teams is as exciting as an eight-o'clock soap opera.

Every 24 hours, reporters come out with a variety of different news. And this year, the three biggest fish in the free agent market, and the three people who have made the most news, are undoubtedly Howard, who is depressed in the Lakers, but still has excellent individual ability. Having played at the top of his game with the Jazz, Al is now looking forward to a max contract. Jefferson and Andre, who has already announced that he is out of contract and will become a free agent. Iguodala.

Of the three, Howard and Al. Jefferson is Cuban's biggest goal this summer! He believes that as long as he can get either of these two All-Star centers, the Mavericks will return to the Finals!

But Howard and Al. Is Jefferson really the best system for the Mavericks? I'm afraid that's not the case......

At 0:00 on July 1, the NBA free agent market officially opened, and on the first day after the free agent market opened, the Mavericks received good news.

O.J. Mayo, who opted to jump out of his contract, accepted the Bucks' offer of $24 million over three years and left Milwaukee. In the new season, Mayo will continue to play in the league wearing the jersey of the Bucks.

While this is just a player-team signing, and the Mavericks don't get any substantial benefit from it, fans are still ecstatic.

A player can even leave to make fans happy like this, and O.J. Mayo is probably the first person in the history of the Mavericks to win this "award".

Mayo's departure further expands the Mavericks' already generous salary space. And, of course, getting the Mavericks' locker room out of trouble. In a group like the Mavericks, any player who doesn't want to improve and doesn't have a desire to win is a disservice to the team's atmosphere. Today, that damage has been successfully cleaned up.

Someone leaves, and someone has to come in. Cuban didn't want this to be another summer of empty baskets, so on July 2, he got in touch with Howard's manager, Fagan, early, and the two sides reached a preliminary intention to cooperate.

Howard has long said that he will not necessarily renew his contract with the Lakers. He will return to Los Angeles to talk to the Lakers after visiting the Atlanta Hawks, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks to make a decision on the four teams. And almost all experts predict that the cities that Howard is most likely to choose are Houston and Dallas!

Cuban is ecstatic about this, and the Rockets and Hawks are not necessarily more willing to spend money than themselves. Besides, the Mavericks, who reached the Western Conference Finals last season, are more competitive than the Rockets, who failed to make the playoffs, and the Hawks, who are only seventh in the East. For Dwight. Howard, the Cuban is inevitable!

"Do you hear that? Also! Yiyang received a call from Cuban when he was at home with his mother tidying up the backyard garden, and on the phone, the fat boss's voice was as excited as if he had picked up $5 million out of thin air.

No, if the Cuban guy sees $5 million on the ground, he probably chooses to ignore it because it's too hard to get it.

"What's the news?" Yiyang was confused, all he could think about now was those damn weeds and his mother's beautiful smiling face.

"Dwight. Howard! He's coming to Dallas tomorrow to meet with us! ”

"Oh, really?" A cold wind blew, making Kuban shiver in his office.

Kuban thought that Yiyang would be very excited, but after waiting for a long time, he only waited for a cold response.

"This ..... That's it? You're not going to come tomorrow in person to convince Howard to stay? ”

"No, I'll leave the signing to you." From the bottom of his heart, Yiyang doesn't have a good impression of Howard. This guy's pursuit of honor and desire for victory are not as real as Gobert's rookie. If it was Howard during the magic period, Yiyang would be very welcome. But after that season in Los Angeles, Howard not only declined in form, but also changed his temperament. Now his personality that could detonate the locker room at any time, Yiyang didn't dare to compliment.

But after all, Cuban is the owner of the team, and Yiyang is sometimes not very good at interfering with the operation of the management.

Kuban didn't take Yiyang's reaction too seriously, and Yiyang's guy didn't talk much. Maybe you're not too good at recruiting teammates in person.

After hanging up the phone, Carlisle, who was next to Cuban, asked his boss in a hurry. "What do you say?"

"He said he didn't come, it didn't matter, we could get Dwight done ourselves!" Kuban smiled, Yiyang is this sex.

"He's not coming?" Unlike Cuban, Carlisle was a bit of a surprise in his performance.

"yes, he's not the kind of guy who can talk well, he shouldn't like this kind of occasion."

"No, not for this reason. Mark, I think we're going to have to reconsider negotiating with Dwight. ”

"Reconsider? What else is there to think about this!? Dwight is the league's No. 1 center right now, is there anyone else to consider in front of the No. 1 center? Cuban spread his hands and grabbed a handful of Howard's team, and if the Mavericks missed, there was a good chance that they really didn't have a chance. After waiting for so long, I finally managed to make waves in the free agent market, how can I say give up and give up!?

"Dwight is certainly the best center in the league, but is he really a good fit for the Dallas Mavericks, a good fit for Dirk, a good fit?" Carlisle asked three questions in a row, leaving Kuban speechless.

"I know I've made the wrong decision, but it's Dwight. Howard!"

"Stop being superstarious, Mark. I know that the whole world is gathering stars right now, and the success of the Heat has shown everyone a shortcut to a championship. But not all teams can be as lucky as the Miami Heat. The Lakers' downfall last season is the best proof of this. There are many stars, but it can't be directly equated with the O'Brien Cup. What we need is not the most famous, but the best for the team! Carlisle patted Cuban on the shoulder, and if Yiyang was embarrassed to say anything, Carlisle helped him say it.

Kuban did not rush to retort this time, but turned his chair to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the panoramic view of the city of Dallas.

Cuban does have a "penchant" for collecting superstars, and for the sake of a fantastic lineup, Cuban even does not hesitate to throw out green bills. Those brilliant names have an inexplicable attraction for Kuban. But as Carlisle said, can superstars really help the team?

Howard is known to like to play with the ball in the low post and doesn't like the high post pick-and-roll tactics. Moreover, Howard's attitude towards basketball is completely different from that of Yiyang and Dirk. The arrival of such a guy on the team is likely to cause another crack in the Mavericks' locker room.

But at the thought of "Dwight. Howard: "This is a famous name, and Cuban is reluctant to give it up. No matter what, he's the league's No. 1 center!

"If you don't believe me, then you should, right? Instead, this summer, we asked Elai to hand-pick his teammates. Then let's see if it's the players who choose the best or the ones we choose better! ”

"I know that kid's character, he wouldn't do that." Cuban waved his hand, in this regard, Yiyang is a very thin-skinned person.

"What if it's all for the championship? I think he'd be more than happy to do that! Carlisle is confident, and this year's Yiyang offered to choose Gobert, isn't it a good start?

A team still has to be handed over to the players after all...... The advice of the leading stars can sometimes be more effective than ten scouts.
