After the celebration party was over, the players were on vacation.Pejastojakovic announced his retirement the next day, no longer wanting to play in the NBA, and preparing to return to Europe.Jason Williams, Bibby, Posey, and Ilgoskas are also retiring, and they can't fight if they want to.The team vacated five places at once, Yi Jianlian, Jerebko, Maddie still restricted free agents, and summer manager Jov Petri had to use his brains to figure out which rookie to choose, who to sign, and put together the lineup.The good news is that Ray Allen has stated that he will run a second year of his contract, and he will not get a high-paying long-term contract in the free market, and he is 37 years old and unstable.Maddie also wants to stay, his strength is insufficient, he is also a marginal person, a role player, how can other teams stay in the king comfortably, it is a smart choice for him, the base salary does not matter, anyway, there is no shortage of money.Vivek talks to Petri."
The goal for next season is to defend the title, whether it is a trade or a free signing, it can't make the team weaker, is there the right person in the free market" Although the NBA labor negotiations are still inconclusive, the free agent transfer market still comes as scheduled every summer.Yesterday, the league officially announced the 2011 free agent roster, which includes a large number of veterans such as Duncan, Prince, Kirilenko and many more.Petri said slowly: "It's hard to find powerful interior veterans, Dareham Porter and Reggie Evans are better."
Yi Jianlian has a market, and there will be teams willing to poach him with a high salary.If we match someone to retain, the salary will be very tight, and it will be difficult to renew the contract of someone else in the future.Albert, you explain. ”As an assistant manager, Albert Swan usually considers salary the most, in addition to following basketball games and discussing player statistics with scouts."
Boss, Ray Allen stayed, with an annual salary of 8 million in the second year, Wang and LeBron 43 million, if the contract is renewed, as long as it is tens of millions of annual salaries, the four of them will exceed last season's salary cap of 58 million.With Miller, it's hard for us to sign role players, and it's not easy for us to renew Curry and Gibson in the future.If Whiteside can't play, we're going to get weaker and weaker in the centre-forward position. ”Vivek heard the seriousness of the problem: "Is there any way to solve it" Swan said: "I talked to Wang in the regular season, he doesn't have to stay, so you can sign first and then trade, I suggest changing to a rookie center from another team plus draft picks, not taking up salary space."
Next year, Miller will bring two potential young players, although the inside line is weak, it is good for the future, and it doesn't matter if Wang and LeBron are supported now. ”"You can only use rookies, what if you can't defend the title" Vivek is not satisfied with this plan.Petri said with a wry smile: "Boss, in recent years, the value of interior players has generally appreciated, and the interior players like Frye have 30 million in 5 years, and it is difficult to find instant combat power to join in the free market, so they can only do their best." ”Vivek asked, "What about point guards, there's only one Curry left." ”"It's enough to have Curry at point guard, it's not going to be a big problem, I want to sign a rookie to be a backup, and the rest is looking for veterans in free agency."
Petri replied apprehensively.If you are looking for a rookie, it is risky to defend the title next season, but there are really not many good options in the free market, so there are many swingers, and the Kings have no shortage of swingers.Vivek was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Report to me at any time, Albert and Wang Jun get closer and see what he thinks, if he wants a star teammate partner, try to meet any requirements, it doesn't matter if you pay the luxury tax, the key is to win." ”Swan asked, "They're going to arrange a mirror and make a movie in Los Angeles, can I go to Los Angeles to find him to make sure I won't miss work." ”"Go ahead, as long as the transaction satisfies him, you don't need to work in the office, call Xia Bowen and Agali to go together."
Vivek laughed."
Thanks, boss."
Swan bowed.Driving away from the arena, Swan smiled happily, he used to change jobs wildly, and he never wanted to change jobs after joining the Kings.It's a really cool job, he feels like it's just playing, and the salary is very high.Vivek not only regarded him as an employee, but also as his own person, and did not treat him badly.Last season, Vivek Holdings reached 80 and made a lot of money.He retained the original management, but stuffed Swan, a new blood, and two veterans of the past Kings, and captured the hearts of Kings fans and managers.The team went from bottom to championship in one season, and such a successful rebuild is unique in NBA history.As a businessman, Vivek is undoubtedly a genius, and every step of the way is wonderful.He knew that he and Wang Jun were now grasshoppers on the same rope, and it was the most important thing to make Wang Jun happy.Yi Jianlian can go, his market value is great in the eyes of other teams, and on the premise that the king has Wang Jun, he is just the icing on the cake.Swan first contacted his girlfriend Emily Wan Cap, and then contacted the Xia Bowen brothers and sisters, called Wang Jun to explain the situation, and then drove to Los Angeles with the three of them in the evening and lived in Wang Jun's villa.Agalie also brought a sister of "Garfield", and the two leopards frolicked in the yard and had a companion.The next day, Swan and Wang Jun played "Pro Evolution Soccer 10" and briefly talked about the management's plan, preparing to sign first and then exchange for Yi Jianlian.Wang Jun did not object."
Since you can't offer a high salary, let's trade, I asked him, he will make decisions in the free market, the annual salary may not be the highest, and he wants to go to a team that can be the core of the interior line."
Yi Jianlian's agent Fagan gave him some advice, and it is best to go to a team without a big-name interior line.His situation is special, Wang Jun helped him brush up the data this season, and the actual level cannot reach 1783.He has enough power to play the data, plus his Chinese status, it is possible to continue to sign high-salary long-term contracts in the future.There is no feast in the world, Yi Jianlian is not an indispensable member of the Kings, he is even a little bad on the defensive end, he is not a qualified meat shield, and his ability to control rebounds is not outstanding.If the Kings center defense is excellent, their winning rate will definitely be higher, but it is difficult to find someone who can shoot and defend, so Yi Jianlian is cost-effective.With the same annual salary, Odom and Yi Jianlian are both free men, and it is definitely better to choose him, much younger.Swan controlled the player and scored a beautiful long-range shot, and asked with a smile: "There are few point guards, do you have a free agent that you admire, we can poach him." ”Wang Jun really has an appreciative person."
Barria is good, if you can dig him into the king, or find a small guard like him, I think the king will be stronger.Don't expect him to defend, break through second, and be able to score off the bench. ”Swan nodded."
I know, but I'm afraid Barria can't, he's playing well in the playoffs, there will be teams willing to give him a long-term contract with a high salary, Nate Robinson is a dunk king, fast, and has a good scoring ability.""
That guy is too dragged, his brain is not normal, don't get him to the king."
Wang Jun smiled: "If Barria can't do it, find other people, rookies can do it, anyway, it's similar, in this year's playoffs, we have all seen the power of this kind of guard." ”In the first round of Tylawson and the second round of Barria, James and Wang Jun had a headache when they broke through, and it was difficult to prevent it.Swan smiled, "Wait for the good news." ”s:
