"I'm just a professional basketball player now, and I have three years left on my contract with the Wizards!" Gong Feng replied like this in the end.

Mir was stunned when he heard this, but he was very happy to start continuing lunch with Gong Feng, during which he only introduced the places worth visiting in New York, and also taught Gong Feng a lot of skills...... The next conversation between the two people, no, the three of them, was very pleasant, and at the end Mir was very enthusiastic to send Gong Feng away, and after that, he never talked to Gong Feng about basketball again.

However, Mir's last sentence still made Gong Feng reminisce, "I am a loyal fan of Duke, I like it very much, I believe it won't be long before you know how much I love Duke, if it weren't for my team telling me, Yao Ming would be the next O'Neal, if it weren't for the current Knicks not lacking outside scorers, I wouldn't let Jay go, but I still have a harvest!" ”

……

"What do you think of this madman from the Knicks?"

"For every person who has achieved remarkable achievements, who is not crazy?"

"You're really optimistic about him like this......"

"It's not that I'm optimistic about him, it's just that I stand out, he has too many things to do, and besides, didn't anyone say we were crazy before?"

"I won't talk about this topic for now, but you really have a clear position for yourself...... I just don't know if the content of this lunch will be leaked by anyone! You're in the media spotlight right now. ”

"Is there a fool to be at the level of a manager? Once it leaks out, are we the only ones who are unlucky? As a person in the media industry, once this kind of thing happens, if you don't give us an explanation, the Dolan family will even see it, right? ”

"Also, we're all young now, and there's a process for everything, isn't it? Now it's time to be yourself! ”

After the draft was over, two or three days passed, and it was the opening of the free market, and as soon as it opened, the Knicks quickly began to attack, announcing the signing of the free agent Chauncey? Billups, just two hours after signing, made a major deal with the Pistons about three draft picks.

The Pistons used the Grizzlies' draft pick for next year, two first-round picks in '04 and '05, plus Boozer and Barnes, who had just been signed, in exchange for the Knicks' Chauncey? Billups, Prince, who was selected for the No. 18 pick.

What's more interesting about this than trading is that the two first-round picks in '04 and '05 don't have any protection, but they don't indicate which team's draft pick, which means that as long as it's a team's first-round pick, this draft pick can be either the No. 29 pick.

The media commented on this than the trade, the first time the word robbery was used, although the Pistons achieved excellent results last year, but did not break through the first round, it seems that the current Pistons have a crush on Chauncey.

And the Knicks used Chauncey in their hands and the newly signed draft players to rob the Pistons, not only solved the problem of ball distribution in the team, but also got three first-round picks for themselves by the way, and there was a lot of money left, which also justified Arenas and determined the main point guard for next season.

And then the Knicks used Joe, who was traded last year? Smith in exchange for the Bucks' Anthony Jr.? Mason and the '03 Bucks' second-round pick, this trade is also a testament to the Knicks' emphasis on center rookies.

Little Anthony? Mason is now at the end of his career, and he was an important figure in the Knicks' iron era, and the Knicks' trade for the veteran is a testament to the Knicks' ability to pick up some of their old legacy.

Then Mill announced that all of the Knicks' trades this summer had been halted and they had begun to work hard to help the rookies train.

No Chauncey, Dean? Garnett's salary, the Knicks have controlled their salary level within a relatively reasonable range, of course, after the end of the 02-03 season, the Knicks are the team with the largest salary space in the league, plus this year's draft, everyone knows what kind of path the Knicks are taking.

Of course, at this time, no one can say that the path taken by the Knicks is not successful.

The Knicks occupy the current headlines just to occupy an innate advantage, but the Knicks are definitely not the biggest favorite team in the 02-03 season, of course, Chinese fans are full of infinite expectations for the Knicks.

In order to keep Duncan next summer, the Spurs can be said to have given up, starting with Ginobili, who signed more than 5.7 million in two years to play in the Italian league.

Then sign a merit-level backup goalscorer, Steve? Kerr, and then in order to deal with O'Neal, the veteran signed a blue-collar center who has been in the league for 17 years, Kevin? Willis, and then, for some special purpose, traded with the Nuggets to get Eighter.

What I wonder is that the Lakers seem to have forgotten about the Finals loss, and there is no intention of trading any strongman in it.

The Wizards are not idle at this time, and now few media think that the Wizards will win consecutive championships, that is, they think that the Wizards will enter the playoffs, and they do not think that the current Wizards can get a good ranking in the league, and in terms of the external environment, there are not many big-name players joining the free market this summer.

Besides, the Wizards have to think about the future of several young people on the team, Gong Feng and Kwame will inevitably have salary space to renew their contracts in the future, Hamilton and Gerrard are all candidates who need a middle-class contract or above to sign a contract, even Simmons, who performed well in the Eastern Conference Finals and Finals, also needs to spend some money to renew his contract next year.

If you think about it this way, the Wizards say that it is best to sign some veterans, and veterans whose salaries will disappear in three years are the best.

It's a pity that there are no such big fish in the free market, but fortunately, the Wizards need to sign very few people this summer, and only Wang Zhizhi and Oakley are in the championship lineup to renew their contracts.

Instead of renewing the contracts of certain players in the first place, the Wizards only blessed Nesby and Puoboye at the beginning...... The Wizards didn't give the two new contracts, and the second was to sign Jeffries and Juan, who were selected on the rookie? Dixon.

Then the Wizards announced that they would sign Oakley with a one-year base salary of 2.2 million...... It's not that no team has sent an invitation to Oakley in the summer, but Oakley, who has already achieved some fame, doesn't want to go elsewhere at the end of his career, and the Wizards will bump into O'Neal twice a year, maybe he won't have to play at that time, but in other teams, when they meet O'Neal, who will play?

O'Neill is very much in the mood for Oakley...... If O'Neill met Oakley desperately cut 60+, for the sake of his prestige, the already old Oakley took the initiative to give up the very generous invitation conditions of other teams.

Of course, at most, it is just to give up a salary of more than 600,000 a year, who can provide a three-year contract of more than 8 million to this veteran who was drafted in 88? The teams are just trying to provoke O'Neal with the help of Oakley.

The injury hidden danger exposed by Leitner still made the Wizards management give Wang Zhizhi a five-year contract of 15 million after discussing it for a long time...... Wang Zhizhi did not respond to this immediately, and it seems that Wang Zhizhi and his team are not very satisfied with the number of years of signing and salary level.

Gong Feng did not meddle in this kind of thing, nor would he participate in the negotiation of Wang Zhizhi's future salary in a passive or active manner, Wang Zhizhi has his own agent team, and now that Chinese fans are so crazy, many people also have to consider the market in Huaguo, right?

In the 01 to 02 season, the Wizards traded to sign Wang Zhizhi to find a spare tire for Leitner, of course, after Wang Zhizhi came, the effect of integration with the team was very good, but what is Leitner's salary? More than 5 million per year!

But Wang Zhizhi, who mainly played in the regular season, is Wang Zhizhi, who now averages 8 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists per game, worth about 3 million a year? Is it five years to get a visa? Isn't there room for Wang Zhizhi to continue to make progress in the future?

Of course, there is a reason for the Wizards to sign Wang Zhizhi with a salary of 3 million, Gong Feng is one of the reasons, and the Wizards' tactics are also a reason, both of which are inseparable from one person.

It's a pity that this person has already left, and after participating in the draft, Gong Feng stepped on the plane back to China, and it was time to participate in some domestic things.
