Why does the Knicks boss keep throwing money, even spending the most money in the NBA, but he is still rotten to the end, rotten, rotten, rotten, rotten, rotten, rotten and so rotten that the whole world is looking at it?

The answer is by the rules!

Unlike other sports leagues, the NBA has no relegations, only 30 teams, 30 owners, and is more of a game of sit-and-go than a competitive league.

That's right, it's to sit in a row and divide the fruit. None of the thirty bosses wanted a few of them to make money, and the others watched. Everyone wants to have equal interests, they want to get rich together, and I will come back when you finish earning, so the wonderful draft system came out.

The draft is all about picking new people. In the annual draft, the team with the worse record will be ranked first, and the most powerful and potential players among the newcomers will be selected first. And the team with the better record, the more they have to be ranked behind, and they can only choose the ones that are picked by the previous team.

If you continue to pick like this in the long run, the good team will get worse sooner or later, and the bad team will get better sooner or later!

As the so-called emperor takes turns to sit, this year to my house, this is the NBA!

The reason why the Knicks are rotten to the end is because their bosses are too willing to spend money and are too eager to rise. They always want to get some stars, but they don't have the chips to trade for them, so they can only trade future draft picks. After the star changed teams, he was not adapted, and his future draft picks were traded to others, and he couldn't get potential rookies, and over time, he couldn't afford to be a mess.

Li Wei is rich now, more than the Knicks owner James Dolan in his previous life, but he will not adopt Dolan's strategy. The rules of the NBA are that you can't play even if you have money, and those who are in a hurry to throw money and want the team to rise quickly will often only make the team worse and worse!

So when it's time to rot, it's going to be rotten, don't think about using money to reverse the decline, otherwise you'll just be like Dolan, falling into the abyss of rotten to the end and never being able to climb out!

"Ewing is old, even if he doesn't get injured this year, he won't be able to play for long, so I have to think about the rebuilding of the team."

Thinking of rebuilding, Li Wei sighed silently.

Basketball is a five-person sport, but the role of the stars is unmatched.

To put it bluntly, most sports are made by people, and a real star is better than a hundred fringe players.

You don't believe it? Then you and Da Yao have an eighty-two game. No matter how much wisdom you have, it will be in vain in the face of absolute strength, and the gap between people and people is so big!

The Knicks were a powerhouse throughout the 90s, and it was because Ewing, one of the four centers, was in charge. And the glorious Bulls, everyone knows how the man in the No. 23 jersey carried a team on his shoulders and ruled the entire era!

If you want to build a great team, you must have great players, and great players are always rare!

"The future Knicks must have a cornerstone that can support the entire team, otherwise even if it is not as bad as in the previous life, at most it can only accompany the prince to study."

Li Wei knows that if you want to choose the cornerstone of the team's future, you don't have to think about the best answer - shark, science, stay, and emperor, all four of them can settle the world!

But Li Wei knows this truth, and others also know it. In the world's highest basketball temple, no one is stupid!

Lakers general manager Jerry West can be called a generation of Bole, who has already taken the big shark O'Neal and Peter Pan Kobe Bryant into his arms. He has two of the best cards in the world, and the Lakers have seen the dawn of revival!

Even if Li Wei has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to poach these two people from the scheming West!

The third place, this year's super newcomer Duncan, is often referred to as a nerd, which is even more remarkable. In order to get Duncan, I don't know how many teams are more than losing, because once they win, they may pass by this super newcomer!

After the tragic 96-97 season, the Vancouver Grizzlies grabbed the first place in the league with an unparalleled bad attitude, and the Boston Celtics followed closely behind, becoming the penultimate place with one more win!

Has the big picture been decided? Is that how talented rookie Duncan belongs to the Vancouver Grizzlies?

Of course not!

In the early days of the NBA, draft picks were based solely on a team's regular season record. The one with the worst record automatically gets the first pick, the second worst player gets the second pick, and so on. When you meet a team with the same bad record, you will decide who comes first and who comes back by flipping a coin.

But in this way, once there is a Duncan-style fierce man, everyone will compete with each other in the previous year, which is too heartwarming.

Fans spend money to watch the game to see the team win, and how many want to see the team lose on purpose?

In order to prevent everyone from competing to the death, the rules of the NBA have been adjusted several times. The current rule is that the top three teams are drawn, and all bad teams that do not participate in the playoffs may be drawn, but the worse the record, the higher the probability of drawing.

After the first three picks are drawn, starting with the fourth pick, the other teams will be ranked according to their records.

As a result, the Vancouver Grizzlies and Boston Celtics, who competed for the game last year, only got the maximum probability of winning the top pick!

It's a pity that God didn't favor these two teams with no limits, and the team that drew the top pick was the third-to-last - Spurs!

Thinking that Duncan will fall to the Spurs this year, Li Wei is embarrassed.

The Spurs are a small-market team that doesn't make much money, and the owners aren't too willing to spend money, but they have Duncan!

In his previous life, the No. 1 forward in history led the team to five championships, and the Spurs also became the team with the most wins in the NBA in the next two decades!

Looking straight ahead, Li Wei muttered softly: "Sharks, Kobe, and Duncan are unlikely to come to the Knicks, let alone become the cornerstone of the Knicks' team." ”

There is no hope for sharks, branches, and stays, and there is only one emperor left.

Although Li Wei claims to be the emperor of basketball, that is bragging. As an amateur player, he doesn't feel like he's really up against NBA players, let alone a top superstar.

The real emperor is another - the little emperor LeBron James!

Thinking of that true genius, Li Wei's eyebrows furrowed again.

Before the little emperor came to the NBA, he was even more powerful than Duncan this year. He didn't play a day of football, and Nike obediently sent a contract of 90 million US dollars, plus a signing fee of 10 million, and was directly worth more than 100 million!

An eighteen-year-old boy who hasn't played a day in a professional league is worth more than 100 million, can you imagine?

If you want to fight for James in 03, you definitely need to go against the sky, otherwise you will only become a laughing stock like the Grizzlies and Celtics this year!

Moreover, what makes Li Wei even more worried is that even if he has strong luck against the sky, he can really fight for James, a few years later, the Knicks' record is not ideal, what if James wants to bring his talent to the South Coast?

If that happens, Li Wei feels that he can only write an open letter to fans, declaring that he will definitely win the championship before James, and then continue to choose the champion.

I'm afraid that the Knicks will not have the peerless good fortune of four years and three champions like the knights in the previous life!

"Alas, I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!"

With a long sigh, Li Wei had to admit that none of the four most talented heavenly sons in the world could make it to his bowl!

"In this case, we have to settle for the next best thing."

Under the shark family, who else is suitable to be the cornerstone of the team?

Li Wei felt that this question was difficult to answer, but from another angle, he found that this answer was simply the only one!

In the next 20 years, who else will win the MVP and FMVP trophies in addition to the shark family?

(MVP, or Most Valuable Player, is the most important individual award in the entire league.) FMVP is the MVP of the finals, awarded to the player who performed the best in the finals, because of the championship bonus, it is also an important criterion for judging great players! ）

In the next 20 years, in addition to the shark family, there is only one person who can hold the two trophies of MVP and FMVP!

This person instantly illuminated Li Wei's heart like the rising sun!

"Dirk Nowitzki! I have to get Nowitzki! ”

In the previous life, the Mavericks had Nowitzki, and the next twenty years were extremely brilliant, and the overall record was second only to the Spurs with Duncan!

What's more, Nowitzki is a loyal man. In the era of soaring salary caps in the previous life, individuals could get tens of millions of annual salaries, but Nowitzki stayed in the Mavericks at a friendly price of eight million, ignoring the maximum salary contract offered by the Rockets.

The fans couldn't see it, shouting that King Nuo's salary is so low, this heart is really unparalleled!

If Nowitzki is chosen, Li Wei will never have to worry about him bringing his talent to the South Coast, and New York will be his eternal home!

Li Wei knows that next year will be the year Nowitzki enters the league, and under normal circumstances, a talented player like Nowitzki will definitely be robbed like crazy, but what era is it now?

It's the time when Americans look down on international basketball!

Nowitzki, who is a German, was only ninth in the order in his previous life!

That's right, it's the ninth pick, for this kind of player who is second only to the shark emperor, what is the difference between the ninth pick and the cabbage?

The first three picks need to be drawn and need to rely on luck, but the fourth pick does not. As long as you put your heart into the worst and make the team the worst, Nowitzki is in the Knicks' bag!

Thinking of this, the young boss looked firmly ahead: "This year, we must put it badly, and put it to the worst!"

If it is rotten for this year, it will be extremely prosperous for the next twenty years, and if it is not rotten this year, the next twenty years will be difficult!

Success or failure is here, we must be rotten to the end this year! ”
