Ask for a recommendation ticket, and there will be a second update later!

The night didn't stop the uniforms from getting ready to go, and the end of the finals meant the offseason was about to begin, and the first event was undoubtedly the draft.

The vast majority of stars come from the draft, and the future superstars who have been praised by scouts have become the target of countless teams vying for a future superstar to lead the team to rebuild.

2007 was hailed as a draft year comparable to that of 1996 and 2003. After Oden's physical test data came out, he became the best choice for the first pick.

The NBA's official website has an exaggerated evaluation of Oden: "If the NBA does not have a 19-year-old draft age limit, Oden will occupy the first place in the 2006 draft without suspense." In fact, if the rules allow it, the 2005 champion is likely to be in Oden's pocket. ”

In addition to Oden, Kevin. Durant, Al. Horford, Jeff. Green, Mike. Conley, Yi Jianlian, last year's quasi-champion Noah and others have made countless teams looking forward to rebuilding drool, so there are naturally many bad teams.

In the end, however, Memphis came out two wins behind, but the draft draw a month ago made Memphis a laughing stock along with Boston and Milwaukee.

The first, second and third teams with the bottom-to-last record only drew the fourth, fifth and sixth, but the three teams with the sixth, fifth and fourth records became the top three picks.

The Portland Trail Blazers, who are ranked from the bottom six, received a windfall and got the first pick, and the draft date is getting closer and closer, and the whole Portland can't wait for the draft to begin. They are looking forward to picking Shaquille. After O'Neal, the best center in the United States led Portland to a revival.

The Seattle SuperSonics, who have the second pick, are also eagerly waiting. Although they especially want Oden, a super center who is known as a combination of countless super centers. But after the physical test data came out, they knew that the possibility of getting Auden was pitiful, so they set their sights on Kevin. Durant, a 6-foot-9 guard and a 21st-century Magician superscorer.

And this year, the Magic didn't have much of a first-round pick, and they didn't have a first-round pick, and they gave the Detroit Pistons in the first round when they traded for Milicic.

At that time, the Detroit media agreed that they had earned a high pick with a waste, but now they can only watch as Milicic shows the potential of a high-quality interior lineman, and at the same time, they are depressed to accept a high-pick that they were expecting to become the No. 26 pick.

The lights in the general manager's office at the Water House Center were not turned off until the early hours of the morning. Smith didn't go home and fell asleep on his desk in his office, his mind full of beautiful images of the player he liked by magic, Otis lying in front of the computer. A smile crossed Smith's lips.

When Orlando woke up in the sun, Linson woke up.

Looking at Carolina Linson lying in his arms, he weirdly pinched the cardamom on Carolina's chest with his hand, and Carolina, who had not yet woken up, subconsciously groaned.

Gently remove Carolina's arm. Lin Sen simply put on his clothes, washed up, and then began to make breakfast.

"You all get up, hurry up and have breakfast, I may not come back at noon, and then I will go first." Lin Sen unbuttoned his apron and sat down.

"It's a love breakfast, Nata should be back in the afternoon, I'll accompany you to check it out."

"I don't need you, I'll accompany her, you're busy with yours." Carolina said with a smile.

"Well, KK can stay with me. You're busy. ”

"That's good." Lin Sen didn't know how long the meeting would last today, and he was looking forward to this meeting in his heart. However, he knows that no matter how good the meeting is, it is just wishful thinking, and whether other players can agree to join other teams is whether they are willing to trade is the most important thing.

When Lin Sen finished breakfast and drove to the center of the water house, he walked to the office. Smith had two dark circles under his eyes.

"Mr. Otis, didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Wood, he didn't sleep well, I got here at 7 a.m. and found him lying in front of the computer, I thought he was ...... "Stan. Van Gundy said with a smile.

"You two are too unconscionable, I'm dedicated, we can start when a few of them come over, I rectified it yesterday and you will take a look at it first, and then discuss it in detail at the next meeting."

Otis. Smith stands up and pulls out two bound haode files from the printer and hands them to Stan. Van Gundy and Linson.

Lin Sen took the document and sat down, the name of the document was "Orlando Jihua".

When Lin Sen turned the first page was the table of contents, the first item was an introduction to the current situation of Magic, and the second item was an introduction to the Magic coaching staff, the third item was the Magic management, the fourth item was team medical care, and the fifth item was a reinforcement.

Lin Sen didn't expect Otis. Smith will be so detailed, turning to the second page is an introduction to the current situation of the Magic, first of all, the team's salary situation.

Lin Sen has always heard that the Magic have more than 20 million salary space this offseason, but Lin Sen doesn't know how much, but Lin Sen knows that the bigger the salary space, the more likely it is to chase Haode free agents.

Then Lin Sen flipped it in turn, and he was interested in Otis. Smith does such a meticulous job that he also believes that a general manager with ideas and abilities will be able to make the magic better and better.

When the other three assistant coaches and scouting supervisor Henin and the team doctor supervisor Craig Brown. After Ming Ze came, the meeting officially began.

"First of all, thank you all for coming, I don't think I will say much else, let's get started, let's open the first page of this document, this summer Grant and Darko will be free agents, and Grant will be fully Darko is restricted, in addition to Pat and Kenyon have player options." Otis. Smith glanced at everyone.

"I think it's been a long time since Grant and Darko were renewal, and I think it's been a long time coming, because Darko and Grant haven't signed a mid-season extension, but I'll be in talks with their agents in the next two days. If there are no surprises, there will be no surprises in renewing the contract. ”

"I think the performance of Grant and Darko is obvious to the whole league. Especially the Daktronics. Now the league's thirst for big men is known, if it costs too much...... "Scouting director Henin said his thoughts, his main job in the past six months is not to scout rookies but to scout other players to see if they meet the needs of the Magic, if other teams pursue Milicic's contract is too big, the team is likely to affect the pursuit of others.

Although Milicic did not perform well in the Finals, averaging only 9.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, in addition to 3.8 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.4 steals, Milicic's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals and semifinals was enough for some crazy teams to give an average annual salary of seven or eight million or even higher contracts, and the specific example is the Knicks' big contract for the Supersonic James.

"I've thought about it, but it's a little reassuring. I'm not going to mess around and I'm sure Darko won't either, knowing that his agent is Wood's agent. "Otis. Smith said with a smile, "In addition, Grant himself approached me before, and he told me that he was willing to take a big pay cut, and now he is just communicating with his agent." ”

Hear Otis. Smith's words, everyone nodded, Otis. Smith turned the second page: "Even though we made it to the Finals and played seven games against the Spurs, everyone should be able to see the difference between us, and the gap is not just between the players and the coach, Stan took the initiative to talk to me about something. The two of us discussed increasing the number of coaching staff. ”

Hearing the coaching staff's questions, the three assistant coaches all got nervous. They thought they might be laid off, but they heard Otis. Smith's words were also reassured.

"Our offense and defense need to be changed to the normal training, the most important thing is defense, everybody says defense is a championship, and our defense is really bad, you can see that this season our defensive stats are almost in the middle of the league or even at the end."

Otis. Smith's words made the faces of the three assistant coaches a little hot, although there are also player factors, but the responsibility of the coach is undoubted.

"Now I'm actively reaching out to Jeff. Van Gundy's assistant coach Tom Gundy. Thibodeau, who also resigned since Jeff was cut by Houston, is now tantamount to coaching the next team, but Tom's defensive ability has been seen all over the league, and it is said that several teams may ask him to coach, but most likely to become an assistant coach, if he doesn't end up becoming a head coach, then he will agree to join us as our head assistant coach. ”

Lin Sen also had a relationship with Tom before. Thibodeau had an understanding, but it was for the Hong Kong team, and he didn't expect Otis. Smith will also invite Thibodeau, who is well aware of Thibodeau's ability and believes that with Thibodeau's defense, the defense will be greatly improved.

"In addition to that, I'm going to have Patrick as our center coach, of course, mainly for Dwight and Darko, and I'm interested in bringing in Tim as a strength and conditioning trainer. Grover. ”

"Is Otis real? It would be nice if you really came over. "Stan. Van Gundy didn't expect Otis either. Smith was actually ready to invite Tim. Grover.

Lin Sen was also surprised, Tim. Grover is Michael. Jordan's queen trainer back then, and also the personal trainer of Kobe, Wade, Arenas and others, his training object is never unknown, and he is also the object of invitation to famous stars in other sports events.

David. Falck also spoke to him and would help him invite Tim. Grover became one of his personal trainers, and if nothing else, this summer with Kobe Bryant will be training with Linson Linson. Grover Training.

"But this is difficult, of course I will work hard, the team training to keep up with the strength of the team, in addition to the configuration of the team will be improved, this is the boss himself, we will introduce newer equipment from health care to training, when it comes to this I have to say that our medical level is terrible."

Otis. Smith's words made Craig. Ming Ze was embarrassed, he himself knew that the team doctor he headed was a joke in the eyes of many people.

"Craig, I'm grateful for your efforts, but I think your team still needs to improve, and while I'm inclined to poach Phoenix, it's too unlikely that we'll be able to help the space agency stationed in Phoenix move to Orlando." Otis. Smith looked at Craig. Ming Ze continued with a glance.

"Craig, I'm sure you'll want to drop your awkward hat, I'll give you purple money, and I'd like to see a team of high-level team doctors. I think the level of the team doctor, the team doctor has a big role, you know, a lot of teams are destroyed by injuries, and I'm glad that we have managed injuries well this year, but I hope to get closer. ”

"I will!" Craig. Ming Ze nodded and said, with the funds, he believes that his operation can be increased, and he must take off the hat of the quack team.

The first three things have also come to the focus of the meeting, and everyone is looking forward to it, because no matter how good the off-court facilities are, it is the players who play, and the role of the haode facilities may make the team enter the playoffs, but it will definitely not make the team a strong team to compete for the championship.

This year's opponent, the Spurs, told the Magic how important a Haode team is, if Howard and Milicic can play at a level above the regular season this year, if Tekoglou is not injured, if the team can shoot the goals that should be made......

But there is no if on shijie, and the way to kill these ifs is to make the team lineup stronger, even if one or two or even three players are not in good shape, there are players who can stand up to replace them, then the result will be different, and this is the thickness of the lineup.

A team that has the strength to compete for a championship has a well-established team, and the Magic undoubtedly have a big shortage in this regard.

"At the end of the season, we have Dwight, Tony, Chris, Dennis, Scotty, Khelana, Devon, Carlos, Wood, Eddie, and if Kenyon and Parry choose to stay then I will buy out Parry, and Kenyon I will choose to trade out."

Lin Sen listened to Otis. Smith's words, even though he knew that this was the NBA, was still a little uncomfortable, just like when he left Minnesota.

"Next season, Scottie and Dennis will slowly fade out of the team or even completely fade out of the team and into the team's management and coaching staff, while Carlos and Devin are doing well but not up to our requirements, especially Carlos is not tall enough, so it is not surprising that I will try to trade him away." Otis. Smith said. (To be continued......)
