"In the last two years of the draft when high school students graduate, some talented high school players have decided to participate in the draft this season, and there are indeed a lot of good seedlings in this class!" Jordan was back at Charlotte's arena to discuss the draft with the newly hired Bobcats coach.

"Well, we got the second pick, and Howard definitely has the advantage in terms of potential, but Okafor is not weak, and he is even a lot stronger than Howard in terms of practicality...... What's wrong with you, old man? ”

"I don't know how to choose our new players, so let's take a look at this secret form...... Remember, while this form has a backup in the league, it must not be leaked from us, which is a big taboo, especially for a type of attention like the Knicks! ”

"Understood...... Oh my God! Am I not mistaken? How can I see a few active All-Star caliber players in this? I'm not dazzled, if I'm not mistaken, this guy still scored 20+ points this season, right? You can't make a mistake on this form, right? ”

"How can you make a mistake, you can see if it's by looking at the other teams!"

Jordan picked up the form and looked at it carefully, there were a total of twenty-nine forms, one form for one team, and in addition to the protection list, there were players in these teams who still had contracts.

After looking at it carefully for a long time, Jordan took out a cigar and lit it slowly, asking: "The question now is, do we still have to accept the salary cap that protects us, once we bear this, some players can't want it, for example, Finley of the Suns is not something we can sign, let alone others!" ”

"The salary cap must be arranged for the sake of our Bobcats, and I won't go into detail for this reason, but can you relate to Finley? Could it be that he has any potential injuries? How could the Suns not want their own 20+ stars? ”

"What's so incomprehensible about this, Marion's salary with Nash, plus the contract extension of Smalls the year after next year and the signing of Joe next year, do you think the Suns want to pay the luxury tax because of Finley? Finley's contract still has many years, and this contract is also a kind of time bomb, although Finley's contract is still very valuable, but he can continue to play for a few years because of his age, who can he trade for? This is a new problem for the Suns! ”

"And what about Mutombo? The Mavericks don't want their own starting center? ”

"If the Mavericks want to get rid of the problem of a large number of luxury taxes, continue to sign new players, and launch a new impact on the championship, they must dispose of the worst contract, and Mutombo is the most suitable for cleaning up in the team, if we don't sign Mutombo, the Mavericks will negotiate a buyout with it, of course, if we ask for Mutombo's contract, it will make the Mavericks owe us a big favor!"

"You have a point! Just the Knicks where the choice you have determined? Choosing Gerald? Wallace? ”

"Don't mess with the Knicks right now, at least we can't be the vanguard of the league. Gerrard has been trained and matured by the Knicks, if it weren't for the fact that the Knicks certainly don't have a place for Gerrard in the future, and Gerrard wants to get a big contract after his rookie year, I may not be able to get him, I know you want Dior more, this guy who played well in the Finals, but do we have a second Bow Peak? Can our big game play the small ball game like the Suns? ”

"Think about it, what would we do in the new season when Knight, Finlay, Gerrard, Mutombo, Howard or Okafor were better? Although there are strong Knicks in the East, but there are more weak teams, maybe our newly formed team can make a new history this season, maybe we can enter the playoffs in our first season! ”

"This is something that hasn't happened since the NBA expanded!"

"And we of the Bobcats can also take advantage of this incident to become an instant hit! The most important thing is that Mutombo has one year left on his contract, and although Finley's remaining contract is large, there is no doubt about his current strength, and how much attention will we get after we have such an All-Star? ”

"Don't forget, in the early stages of his career, he was called one of my successors, and after reuniting with me, what about such a gimmick? Of course, what is more important is the compatibility between Finley and Gerrard, one is good at breaking and shooting, good at offense, and the other is good at defense, and can make new progress under Finley's guidance, and whether it is Howard or Okafor under Mutombo's guidance, how much do you think they will improve this year? ”

"What do you think would have happened if we had started with the slogan of making the playoffs? Don't forget that the basketball atmosphere here can't be underestimated, plus my own appeal, what do you think? ”

In this spacious office, after Jordan finished speaking, he clearly heard the boss and the coach swallow at the same time!

After seeing the two nodding to themselves at the same time, Jordan said excitedly: "I'm going to talk to Stern on the phone, tell him about my plan, I believe it will get his consent, and our salary cap can be loosened!" ”

……

The newly formed Bobcats are planning the team's playoff future, but the Lakers are facing the task of determining the direction of the team for the next seven years!

"Now has to be the time to make a decision, although in the Finals, they can't play very badly together, and there is no big contradiction between them, but we do have the time to make a real decision, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, we can only keep one! Now let's talk about our opinions! ”

After Old Bass asked this question, he immediately divided into two factions and kept narrating something.

After seeing that everyone finally rested, Old Bass finally sighed deeply, stared at his beloved daughter and the head coach of the team, and then took the initiative to ask: "Jackson, have you made your choice?" Or do you think you really should do that? ”

"O'Neal is undoubtedly a more intimidating force than Kobe, the most lacking force in the league, and we can also use Kobe Bryant to trade the power to give the Lakers another championship......

"How many more years can O'Neill play? And what about Kobe? Jackson, do you really think Kobe's future will be a loss to O'Neal? Or do you think O'Neal will be as invincible for the Lakers in the next few years as he has been in the past? ”

Jackson fell into a deep silence and did not say a word to justify his actions!

"That's it! It's good for everyone to trade O'Neill now, so let's start contacting teams interested in O'Neal now! Remember what kind of player we want, what we want is Kobe's future helper, not weak, but not the kind that is incompatible with Kobe in terms of position and ability...... Jackson's deal with O'Neal this time, you are solely responsible, and the final report will be with my final answer! ”

Jackson was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, just nodded silently, and sighed there!

The internal disunity of the Bass family has actually been a long time, but the old Bass really wants his son to take on this heavy responsibility!

……

"That's your draft report? That's right, too! The team's task at that time was all in the Finals, okay, put the information here, I'll take a look and make a decision, the Knicks are strong now, but there are still some positions that need to be added, and I will make a copy of this information and send it to the assistant coaches. ”

"Yes!"

Looking at the rookies who would appear in the final round, Mill even smiled, then ticked a certain player, didn't look at it again, and then looked at the roster in this year's free agency.

On the eve of the rookie conference, the NBA's secret beacon has been ignited again, all those who are interested in championships have begun to strengthen themselves, those who are interested in rebuilding have begun to prepare to clean up big contracts, and those who are interested in the playoffs have also been looking for their goals in the free market and rookies.

As for the players, some are still on vacation, such as the Allen family, and some have already started a new round of training to prepare for the new season.

As long as the NBA doesn't fall, there's always the next game to play, isn't it? (To be continued.) )
