"Let's start by talking about where we have a surplus and where we are lacking; Where there are enough young players, and where there is a serious ageing population. "The Miami Heat's management leaders gathered in the conference hall. Riley's opening remarks were direct and powerful, and his nearly seventy years of age did not dull his thinking and gaze in the slightest, and his eagle-like eyes made everyone present dare not meet his compelling gaze, "Since we are holding a meeting for this year's rookie market, let's have enough understanding of the team as a whole." ”

Spoelstra tacitly began to summarize after the teacher's speech: "In the center position, we have one of the best manpower reserves in the league. Whiteside and Alexie. Aginsa are all in their prime and are well placed to take on their responsibilities. Chris. Anderson's third centre-forward position is also satisfying, his physicality hasn't deteriorated dramatically, and experience can continue to help us. ”

Pat. The corners of Riley's mouth curled, and he single-handedly signed Whiteside and traded to Akinsa to take his reputation to the next level, and Riley enjoyed the praise he received from the outside world. He nodded slightly, motioning for his student to continue.

"In the number four position, I think we need to look at the age of the players and the injuries – Chris. Bosh is our main power forward, and his condition is improving, and the blood clots in his body have begun to disappear, so he should be able to continue in our starting four next season. But the problem is that such Bosh is already saddled with a hidden disease, and if he encounters the disease again, we are likely to be caught off guard again...... And Bosh is 31 years old, and how long he can maintain his current form also needs to be considered. McRoberts is a good interior player, but he definitely can't replace Bosh's firepower and defensive contributions on both ends of the floor, and he's 29 years old. As for Haslem, he can now make a difference more in the dressing room than on the pitch. ”

Speaking of which, the Heat's chief assistant coach, David Brown. Fitzdale chimed in: "One thing I want to remind you is that the small-ball lineup we used in the playoffs is very good, but if we continue to put Ruhr . Deng Ding is in the No. 4 position, and if he doesn't play back to the small forward he is most accustomed to, I guess it won't take half a season for the Englishman to explode...... For us now, locker room conflicts are the most important thing to avoid, aren't they? ”

The assistant coach's words won the approval of many people present. Riley's eyes flickered slightly, and instead of responding, he continued to let Spoelstra sum.

"In the small forward position, we have decent reserves. 30-year-old Ruhr. Deng should be able to play at a high level for two more seasons. Ennis is a good potential stock, Daniel. Granger is also able to step up and shine when it counts...... However, given the average age in this position, it seems that we still need to make some preparations for an exchange of transfusions.

"The position of the shooting guard...... I have to say that this is something we need to focus on, in fact, the only people in the team who can really stand up in the second position are Dwyane and Taylor. Johnson. De is still very good, but he is free from injuries and fitness problems at all times, and we have to face up to the fact that he is in the slip from his prime...... Overall, the swingman is the type of player we need to focus on, like Daniel Brown, who has been featured in this playoffs. Granger's start on top wasn't a long-term solution.

"We have the most talented and promising player in the league at the point guard position, and he has a great chance of becoming the best point guard in the league in the next three years; Shabazz on the bench. Napier is a good man to scramble and play to his scoring prowess in the second team...... I would suggest signing a more experienced veteran as the team's third point guard before next season, which would be a good addition to the roster. ”

Pat. Riley thought quietly for a moment, then clapped his hands lightly and looked around at everyone in the conference room: "2015 is a good draft year, especially for teams that are hungry for the interior. Anthony. Downs, Porzingis, Jahir. Okafor...... These are all options to look forward to. But as you all know, we don't have draft picks this year, so we can only make a fuss about strengthening the team through trades, and I think you should have done a lot of research and planning, so let me hear about it now. ”

***

Several of the scouts who participated in the meeting looked at each other, and in the end, it was the most senior Rick Rick. Deyol made a comment as a result of his success last summer to Pat. Riley recommended Addison, and Deyol is now the most respected member of the Heat's North American scouting team.

"We systematically divided the rookies for the class of 2015, and based on Coach Spoelstra's analysis, I was the first to come up with recommendations for the forward line - we shortlisted a total of four rookie players who are more suitable for the team's playstyle and have a high probability of getting in a trade, so let me introduce them one by one."

As he pressed the remote control, the image on the big screen changed, revealing a portrait of a young black player and his basic stats. The player is a muscular man with the usual black braided hairstyle, and the blue Duke Blue Devils player stands out.

"Justis. Winslow, a first-year student at Duke University, is nearly 6'7" tall and weighs 225 pounds (102 kilograms...... The young striker swingman who has attracted a lot of attention this year has excellent physical fitness, and has a certain offensive ability with the ball, and also has a good performance on the defensive end. Duke was able to reach the NCAA Finals again this season after winning last year, and this young man has made a big contribution. Of course, his shortcomings are also more obvious, shooting is the biggest weakness, and the defensive end still relies more on the body than on defensive skills...... Winslow is the eighth pick in the first round of the league's official rookie qualifiers, and among the four rookies we screened, he was the highest in the prerookies and the most difficult to trade. ”

Pat. Riley nodded, satisfied with the first choice recommended by Deyol: "Rookie in the lotto area...... Okay, let's move on, let's look at the other four players. ”

The picture on the big screen changed again, this time with a white player, not as strong as Winslow and with short hair.

"Sam. Decker, the current core player of the University of Wisconsin, was born on April 6, 1994, and is 6'9" tall and weighs 230 pounds (104 kilograms). His physical fitness is rare among whites who can run and jump, and his offensive skills are biased towards the style of a wing player, with two shots in both breaking and air cuts; He has a tough style of play and has the potential to be an all-take-all defender in the number three or four position. The disadvantages are that the arm span is relatively short, and the average skill is not particularly good at the area, plus the projection lacks consistency. Decker's current qualifier is the 17th pick in the first round, having been behind the 20th pick, but his impressive performance in the NCAA Tournament has moved him up the rankings...... However, he is still not considered qualified to be a rookie in the lottery area, which may be a good condition for us. ”

"Sam. Decker? I've heard that both Portlanders and Houstonians have a crush on this white lad, and even if he's not a rookie in the lottery, we're still going to have a lot of competition...... But it's a good training object. "Pat. Riley frowned slightly, then stretched out, "Go on, next." ”

On the big screen was a tall, lanky black player, with obvious muscle lines and thick lower eyelids that made his eyes look narrow.

"Lang Dai. Hollis. Jefferson, a sophomore at the University of Arizona, was born on January 3, 1995, and is 6'7" tall and weighs 210 pounds (95 kilograms). This is a typical swingman with a tough physique, and he is good at running down quickly. He was named to the Defensive Team of the Twelve in the Pacific League this season, and is the best defensive player among the four rookies, and the most worthy of development; On the other hand, his attacking skills are far less balanced than Winslow and Decker, and he is more often a jigsaw puzzle defensive skewer. Jefferson's current qualifier is the 24th pick in the first round, and I think most people haven't realised the potential and value of this young player and he deserves a shot. ”

Pat. Riley made a clear response this time, as an advocate of iron-blooded basketball in the 90s, he paid considerable attention to the defensive attitude and potential of his players. Lang Dai. Jefferson is clearly to his liking, and it's rare for him to show a strong defense in the NCAA, and that's why he fell in love with Addison last summer.

What if the offensive skills are a little worse? In a team with Addison, Wade and Bosh, what better offensive skills do you need from others? As long as you can sprint quickly in time, practice air cutting and shooting, and do your duty as a wing player......

Rick. The last player recommended by Deyol was Josh from the University of Tennessee. Richardson, born September 15, 1993, is 6'6" tall and weighs 200 pounds (90 kilograms). In 2014-15, he was named to the NCAA Southeastern Conference All-One Team and All-Defensive Team.

"As a 22-year-old rookie, Josh. Richardson has been relatively mature on both ends of the floor, his shooting is the best of the bunch, and his ball handling is also very good, and his ability to defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 3 position is his best advantage. He should have enjoyed a higher level of attention, but the University of Tennessee has been suppressed by prestigious schools such as Kentucky and the University of Florida in the Southeastern Union, so his popularity is not high. He's currently the 43rd pick in the second round, and he's definitely the easiest quality forward swingman to come to our disposal before most teams understand his value. ”

Justis. Winslow, Sam. Decker, Langday. Hollis. Jefferson, Josh. Richardson...... Pat. Riley revisited the rookies in his mind. He was pleased with the scouting team's selection work, and the four rookies were undoubtedly promising young wings, with the highest selection pick being in the middle and back of the lottery to facilitate trade negotiations for the uniforms.

Just as he was about to ask the scouting team to continue recommending candidates for the power forward position, a uniform team suddenly received the latest news that made him instantly change color -

"Dwyan. Wade decided to jump out of his existing contract and seek to sign a new contract with the team...... However, it should not be a salary reduction contract ......"
