Chapter 124: Itinerary Planning

The draft ended, and several trades were completed.

Brad Miller, Rasionestrovich, Maddy and their agents have all contacted the team to set a time for the report.

Qiao Hai also made a list.

Point guards: Mike Bibby, DeJuan Witt

Shooting guards: Tracy McGrady, Doug West

Small forwards: Sean Marion, Michael Smith

Power forwards: Sharif Abdulahim, Tony Masenborg

Centre-forwards: Brad Miller, Rasian Netrovic

Regardless of roughly and Manuginobili, then there are now 10 players on the Grizzlies' roster, and among these 10 players, DeJuan Witt's contract is only one year left, and it is still fully non-guaranteed, as long as Qiao Hai wants to, he can cut De Juan Witt at any time.

In fact, De Juan Witt is not in Qiao Hai's plan, but if he can't sign any players, he will still keep De Juan Witt and make up the numbers.

Looking at the list they have listed, the Grizzlies also need a sizable backup point guard, and it is better to have a few more shooters on the wing.

There is nothing to be added on the inside, with Sean Marion and Michael Smith both playing power forwards, plus Raheem and Tony Masenborg, and Brad Miller and Nesterovic at the center position, the rotation is enough, and a maximum of two more water cooler players can be signed just in case.

Signing as a free agent, Qiao Hai knows a good path.

Every year, there will be many rookies who are not selected, and there are also treasures among the undrafted rookies, such as Bruce Bowen, who Qiao Hai promoted in the Lakers, and Ben Wallace, who has now emerged in the Wizards, are all treasures among the undrafted rookies.

Therefore, Qiao Hai searched around the draft list again and asked him to find a familiar name.

Ragabel, a defensive giant, an outside gate, also developed a fixed-point three-point in the later stage.

However, he is best known for his throat Kobe.

Of course, rookie Ragabel is strong enough to serve as a rotation player in the Grizzlies, so Qiao Hai directly sent the name to Stu Jackson and asked Stu Jackson to contact Ragabel to see if he could sign him directly.

It was actually easy to sign Ragabel, after losing the NBA, Ragabel was forced to fight in the CBA, and did not join the Spurs until the 2000-2001 season, but he did not play a game, and was cut at the end of the regular season.

After that, he joined the 76ers and played five games in the regular season with a mediocre performance, but remained on the 76ers' playoff roster.

In the end, it broke out in the playoffs and helped the 76ers reach the Finals, which attracted the real attention of NBA teams and successfully stayed in the NBA.

So at this time, if the Grizzlies really want to sign Ragabel, they actually have no competitors, as long as they make an offer, Ragabel will come.

Joe has his eye on a Ragabel, and the rest of the rotation players will have to be found by Stu Jackson.

Johi told Stu Jackson what he wanted: "I need a backup point guard, and a shooting guard or small forward who can shoot threes, one or two. ”

After thinking about it, Qiao Hai still gave Stu Jackson a few options: "You can ask the Nuggets' Chauncee Billups, his trade value should not be high, and you can exchange Tony Massenberg or Michael Smith, or Earle Boykins, a point guard who played for the Cavaliers last season." ”

There are only these two point guards that Qiao Hai can think of, among them, Earle Boykins was what Qiao Hai paid attention to when the Lakers played the Cavaliers last season, Earle Boykins is too short, and he is too conspicuous in the NBA, so Qiao Hai directly remembers Earle Boykins.

"You can find a few veterans who can shoot threes, and the requirement is to have three points, and it would be better if you could have a little bit of defense." The wing player Qiao Hai really couldn't think of anything to sign, so he could only ask Stu Jackson to find a few veterans, anyway, it was also a substitute, and it was also a good choice to find a few veterans to contribute a little experience.

Stu Jackson kept nodding, Qiao Hai thought for a while, and said: "If Chauncey Billups needs to be exchanged for Tony Massenberg or Michael Smith, don't be stingy and switch with them, but once the deal is completed, we also need to find a good backup power forward, preferably the kind of power forward who can help defend and make up for defense, and can run and jump." ”

Qiao Hai's request was not too much, but Stu Jackson still agreed.

Judging from the signing of free agents, Qiao Hai still gave some power to Stu Jackson, and Stu Jackson was very satisfied.

He went directly to the Nuggets as requested by Joe, and Earlboykins has expired his contract and is now a free agent, and StuJackson also called Earleboygins' agent directly.

As for the veteran who can shoot three-pointers on the wing, it depends on Stu Jackson's free play.

After Qiao Hai arranged these, he also arranged a new itinerary for himself.

First of all, he was interviewed by Kevending in Washington, and left new contact information for each other, they played in Los Angeles for a season, and Kevending also became the editor-in-chief of the sports section of the Los Angeles Times because of Qiao Hai's success, and in this respect, Kevending is grateful to Qiao Hai.

Now that Qiao Hai has left Los Angeles, the two of them will have less intersection in the future, but the two have become friends, and Kevinding feels that one day in the future, he and Qiao Hai will have frequent contact again.

Because Kevindin knew that he wouldn't stay at the Los Angeles Times forever, and that one day, he would go to the North American national media and become a real celebrity.

After the interview, Qiao Hai's itinerary only has two stops left.

The first stop is that he wants to go back to Los Angeles to meet Old Joe.

He left Los Angeles in a hurry and didn't say hello to Old Joe, and the things he had in Old Joe's apartment should also be packed up and sent to Vancouver, such as the Drew League championship trophy.

The second stop, he had to return home.

Returning to China is equivalent to going home, I have been messing around in the United States for almost a year, and I don't have time to go back for the New Year, Qiao Hai is homesick. Fortunately, Qiao Hai is also a little mixed up now, this time when he goes back, Qiao Hai wants to bring some money back and buy a new house, he wants to let his old father and mother live a good life.

By the way, Qiao Hai is going to contact the rough, on the one hand, to see the specific situation now, on the other hand, Qiao Hai also wants to try to get roughly into the NBA as soon as possible, but Qiao Hai knows that this is difficult, maybe he has to make some effort.

As for Manuginobili, Qiao Hai gave the task to the Grizzlies' scouts, first let the Grizzlies' scouts go to see the situation, and then decide when to let Manuginobili land in the NBA.

On the American side, the Grizzlies' summer league is led by Byron Scott, and the composition of the summer league players is also in charge of Byron Scott.
