0269 Recruiting troops, let's go together
"Byron Davis?"
Su Yang was a little surprised, as if he heard a name he had never heard before. After thinking about it, it was mainly because of the change in the historical trajectory. Baron Davis did not switch from the Hornets to the Warriors, but to the Timberwolves. Days, the sense of existence is greatly reduced.
I flipped through the scouting report and found that Davis had two years left on his big contract. The Timberwolves didn’t want to keep it and planned to sell it to the Lakers. The main selling point was Davis’ explosive breakthrough and stealing ability, claiming that he could reduce Kobe’s organization and defense. pressure.
"The Lakers management is not purely stupid..."
Su Yang wanted to laugh. As the original bearded man, Baron Davis is the core player with the ball. His three-point shooting rate is around 30% all the year round. He has no off-ball ability at all, and his key two-point shooting efficiency is surprisingly low. , less than 40% all the year round, pure brush,
There are a lot of defensive steals, but Iverson also has a lot of steals. Davis loses 100 per 107 rounds, which is only a little better than Fisher in his old age. If he really wants to join the Lakers, Kobe will only put more pressure on the defensive backcourt. Not as good as Fisher,
It is also not suitable for Zen Master's triangle offensive system at all. Forcibly joining will only lead to a dismal ending like Payton.
"Kidd is quite suitable for the Lakers..."
Looking at the scouting report again, I found that there are indeed rumors that the Nets are willing to trade Kidd, and they don’t need too many draft picks. The main reason is that Kidd’s remaining contract is nearly 3 years and 5900 million, and the Nets rebounded consecutively. I can no longer afford the high salary, and I plan to sell Kidd and Carter one after another, and completely enter the reconstruction mode. I can change a few short-term contracts with salary balance.
Kidd's style of play that doesn't require much offense and doesn't rely on pick-and-roll organization is very suitable for the Lakers, but how can the Lakers get together the 1800 million expiring short contract?If you want to change, you can only make various attempts with Odom as the core. The main contract for Odom starts at 1200 million, and you piece together a few scumbag expiring contracts, and then give the Nets a relatively high draft pick. .
However, the Lakers do not have a high draft pick, and they only have the 24th pick in the playoffs. When they traded O'Neal to get the 26th pick in the first round from the Heat, even if they gave both, the Nets are obviously at a disadvantage. The second is the draft year.
Unless the Nets bite their teeth and insist on getting rid of Kidd's big contract, and then find a way to replace Odom,
Or the Nets simply pull a three-way deal, send Kidd to get more than three draft picks, and then cut off a few worthless additions. Anyway, it’s all about rebuilding. If it’s more serious, even Carter and Rasheed will be sold together. , it doesn't matter if you lose a little.
"It depends on whether the Lakers and the Nets are determined..."
Su Yang couldn't help sighing, but he sincerely hoped that the Nets and the Lakers would reach a deal, otherwise it would be too boring to always play against the Spurs in the finals in the West. It would be best for the Mavericks to strengthen this offseason and make it into a big scuffle in the West, allowing the Warriors to defend their title. more difficult.
"As for Artest, there is no difficulty..."
The king obviously wants to support rookie Kevin Martin who played well in the playoffs, and the head coach Adelman has also left. In the next few years, in this hell mode in the west, it is impossible to quickly rise and return to the ranks of the championship team. At the beginning, they couldn't make it to the playoffs for many years, and all fools knew that while Artest was still valuable, he quickly sent it to the team that needed it and exchanged draft picks.
If the Lakers want to change Artest, it is easy to compare prices. The next three first-round starts will do, and Artest will no longer be popular.
The key is that Artest's salary is low, and the balance is not so troublesome.
"I hope the Lakers can work it out. Although the combination of Kobe + Artest + Kidd will be relatively weak, at least Kobe won't be so tired. It's no problem to make it to the second round of the playoffs." After making up his mind, he closed the ball Spy report, back to Warriors recruiting.
Sean then said: "Currently in our team, the players confirmed to leave are James Posey and Tim Thomas. They are just a swingman and a backup power forward. It has been confirmed before that the swingman will pursue JR? smith,
Right now, we only need to determine the candidate for the backup power forward. Eddie Griffin has not made much progress. We cannot guarantee that he can sustain the situation at the critical moment of the playoffs. In addition, Griffin requested that starting from next season, he will no longer daily salary,
He thinks he has demonstrated enough self-discipline that it is an insult to him to continue to receive daily wages. "
Griffin's main features are assisting in blocking shots and three-pointers. He is considered a very functional player. Last season, the salary of 300 million US dollars was not all paid on a daily basis. Sometimes it was seven days or half a month. The main reason is to worry about his self-discipline. not enough.
Su Yang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I'll be stuck with him for another year. I know him too well. Once he loses his restrictions, he will be very easy to degenerate..." According to the historical trajectory, Griffin has evolved into being stuck in the toilet time this season. the ability to drink,
The Timberwolves managers who are in charge of monitoring him have no choice but to hold Griffin responsible for him instead, preventing him from repeating the historical trajectory and burning his head on a train. Anyway, at least the contract ends next year, and he will not be given any chance.
"Yes, I made a contract specially for him at the beginning. If he stops training or misses the game, he won't get a penny..." Sean showed off with a smile. As a general manager, he can come up with all kinds of awesome contracts. It is his greatest value.
The topic continues to be on the backup power forward,
Tim Thomas will definitely not stay in pursuit of a high salary, and Su Yang is very clear that Tim Thomas is also the kind of guy who is easy to mess up once he has money, and he can't allow Tim Thomas to receive a daily salary like restricting Griffin. The basic salary is enough for the playoffs.
However, after a rough look, there is really no suitable candidate for a backup power forward. They need three-pointers, defense and low wages. They can’t miss every year. The key is to try not to give a long-term contract as much as possible. In terms of follow-up trade Garnett Then get a big fish.
With less money and more things, there is no requirement.
It's a bit like looking for that kind of beautiful runner during the free window after breaking up, and at some point you will kick your real girlfriend into a hole,
Who wants to be a running friend with a decent and beautiful woman like that.
"We don't have many options to choose from..."
Sean said with a little embarrassment, "After removing Tim Thomas, the backup power forwards responsible for at least one condition selection include Radmanovich, Matt Bonner, and Kirilenko and Josh ?Smith, but the transaction is quite difficult..."
Su Yang laughed when he heard it, and understood that there was really no way to catch the leak this time, "Forget it for now, let's recall Powell and Morrison who were placed in the Development League in the early stage of the season, and then let Griffin play more and replace the center. Let things go for now."
As a backup center, Big Zhi has enough offense and lack of defense. It is necessary to find that kind of meat shield center for preparation, but it is useless to rush to sign blindly. Wait patiently for the middle of the season to see if other teams are willing to send away center forward.
Discussions of free agency recruitment ended with that.
Su Yang made a quick call to Sun Yue, confirmed that he had submitted his application for the draft to the league, and instead arranged for Sean to be selected at the 60th pick. He could let Stevens be the head coach of the men's basketball team in advance, and try to win it in the World Championships in Japan. Sun Yue has a heavy responsibility,
Try to let Sun Yue practice something, and then pull down the team to play in the preseason. If you can play a convincing performance, give Steve Blake some time. If you can’t play a convincing performance, then send it to the development team. The league practiced more to prepare for the Olympics.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yang chatted with the financial director, Ms. Stana, and talked about repurchasing up to 20% of the team's shares from Yahoo Yang and Nvidia Huang in advance. The main agreement was to give Yang and Huang 8 years Net profit dividend or 8 times income,
But the amount of net profit dividends in the current 8 years,
Obviously more than 8 times the income of 8 million U.S. dollars, because it has paid more than 2 million U.S. dollars to Yang and Huang for three consecutive years. With Su Yang's current assets, it is completely possible to prepay Yang and Huang to reach 16 billion U.S. dollars to buy back that 20% stake.
"Then you go ahead first, but don't buy back all of them. It's better to negotiate to give the two of them the remaining 5% of the shares..."
Su Yang thought for a moment and made up his mind. He really didn't want to give more money, but after all, Yang and Huang strongly supported the purchase of the team at the beginning. Although Yahoo Yang lost its social influence in the future, Nvidia Huang was a great leverager. or actual need,
There is no need to do everything wrong, and leave 2.5% for each of Yang and Huang, and do it for more influential Chinese in the United States and even the world. Anyway, try to unite as much as possible, and don't make it into a mutual use. Turn a good story into a scandal.
"Then do as you wish..."
Ms. Stana left on her own, and Robert, the director of operations, knocked on the door and entered. There was nothing new. The main topic was to discuss the arrangements for the training camp of the Warriors in China during the off-season, and to see which coaches were invited to coach in the past. go.
The teaching assistants didn't want to go and didn't force it. Su Yang understood that many teaching assistants wanted to spend more time with their families on vacation.
Then look for them one by one in the list of well-known or potential coaches who are unemployed, such as Stotts, who has been fired by the Nets, and Monty Williams, who has just retired as an assistant coach for the Blazers and needs more opportunities for experience. Key? Smart in his early years...
Just get five people together, basic coaching is enough.
After finishing the training camp, Su Yang was temporarily free, got up and left the office, and rushed to the stadium to observe the players' trial training. When Granger was there, he assigned a summer task by the way, "You need to train the ball as soon as possible. And improve off-ball understanding,
You are at the heart of our next phase..."
A sincere chicken soup for the soul, Granger nodded repeatedly, "Good coach, I will work hard."
Su Yang watched the trial training for a while, and didn't have much interest in it. The main reason is that the people who participated in the trial training would not be selected. They came here to prepare for the summer league and maintain the operation of the team. They can't just do nothing. , interviews are not available.
Taking advantage of the break, I chatted with Stevens again, encouraging the Chinese men's basketball team to take the lead. The gold medal in the 04 Olympic Games was an unexpected accident. Neither the Basketball Association nor the Chinese fans were arrogant enough to think It's impossible to get a gold medal.
Stevens chuckled and joked that if he didn't make it to the semi-finals by then, he would lie because the language difference caused inefficiency.
The team affairs are temporarily over.
Su Yang drove to Palo Alto, where he arranged various cooperation matters with the people arranged by Google. He was busy all afternoon. In the evening, he had dinner with Zucker Berger to discuss the next development plan of Facebook. , to be a social platform,
Not only college students make friends and interact, but also have community functions such as movie discussions, including the distribution of movie tickets, and even Facebook’s own payment. The goal is to allow users across the United States to solve many things on Facebook.
In the future, we will log in to each other's accounts with Youtube to maintain traffic exchange and use, so as to facilitate the realization of money through advertising.
Zuckerberg was dazed when he heard this. He never thought of making Facebook such a big platform. After dinner, he dragged Su Yang to the company to build a management structure. Negative calm chaos, forget about it.
On the 25th of the next day, Su Yang began to confirm the roster of the dream team and make final preparations for the upcoming training camp.
Murphy, Josh? Rand and Shane,
They also all agreed to join, and successfully formed a main rotation of ten people. The remaining two places and one spare place are not in a hurry. Let's see the results of the trial training first, and then add Howard, Paul and Iguodala according to the situation. Be prepared.
It is easy for non-Su family members to be invited. The main reason is to experience the feeling of being coached by the head coach of four consecutive championships. It seems that Brand wants to make up for the regret of the 04 Olympics, although he may not be taken to the 08 Olympics. north gold.
The ten-man roster was confirmed. Su Yang sent an email to Colangelo, and Colangelo replied very satisfied in only one minute. There are three white players, Battier, Murphy, and Hinrich. The team had more white players,
Sure to be a hit with traditional fans.
Su Yang doesn't care about whites and blacks, as long as it's easy to use and obedient, he won't let any player show his personal skills. Even if Arenas dares to mess around, he will be pushed to the bench immediately. He is not an idiot like Timberwolves Finch The coach, who obviously saw Edwards playing poorly, still admitted to throwing the blame, and insisted on keeping Edwards on the court as a cover for his lack of ability.
The list of ten people is confirmed.
Su Yang started recruiting assistant coaches again. Half an hour after the news was sent out, Pacers head coach Carlisle, Suns head coach D'Antoni, Trail Blazers head coach McMillan and other famous coaches sent applications one after another, hoping to play for the country and learn by the way.
There is no need to be picky, or even an interview, and the three of Carlisle are directly approved. In addition, the training team will use the Warriors team, headed by shooting coach Chip. dismantle.
It took only half a day, and the affairs of the Dream Team were basically settled. The training camp is expected to start on July 7, and I will fly to Japan for the World Championships for a month, until the end of early September, and then rest for half a month. Relatively comfortable.
In the midst of busy work, on the 28th in a blink of an eye,
The draft was held in Madison, New York. Su Yang was too lazy to fly over and stayed at home. He and Fina, Beyoncé, and Bingbing appointed a vacation plan starting from Japan on August 20th. They were discussing whether to go to Hokkaido or not. Received a call from Sean.
"The Lakers deal is done!
They used Kwame Brown as the main body, plus two future first rounds and a second round, and traded to Paul Gasol of the Grizzlies. Ster, and is going to find a center in free agency..."
The historical trajectory has changed a lot. The Lakers made up the Big Three lineup in advance. Gasol is slightly worse, but Artest is still at the peak.
It was quite unexpected, I thought it was against Kidd.
"In addition, there is bad news. Hornets owner Sean is very upset with us, or very upset with you. He is unwilling to directly trade three parties to let us get JR? Smith, and reminds the Bulls not to trade JR? Continue to maintain a strong lineup, so that other teams in the league cannot win the championship, and the Bulls owner agrees with him, which is a bit embarrassing..."
Hearing Sean report like that,
Su Yang laughed out loud, thinking that it doesn't matter if FMD doesn't have JR, and the Big Three of the Lakers are not afraid, so let's go together.
