Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 184

This time the performance of the Timberwolves in the draft is too much incomprehensible to many outsiders.

Zack Laven, Jokic, and Grant are the three players selected by the Timberwolves in the first round. In Chen Dazhuang's view, they just perfectly solved his team building plan. Then, among the three picks in the second round, Chen Dazhuang also did the same. Only two people were selected, namely Joe Harris and Dinwiddie. The last No.60 pick, Chen Dazhuang, chose to give up.

The end of the draft also indicates that there will be a large number of transactions and rookie signings, and then a new round of free market will open, and the biggest fish in the NBA free market this year will naturally become the free agent James , Of course, everyone knows that James must return to Cleveland, and everyone is looking forward to the announcement of the final result.

In Chen Dazhuang's plan, Joe Harris and Dinwiddie can only keep one at most.

This year's summer league Timberwolves have long confirmed that Smith will lead the team to participate in the summer league in Las Vegas. At that time, except for Jokic who cannot be present, all rookies will participate, and some will also be selected. Undrafted picks participate in the game.

And today, after the Timberwolves finished the summer league, they will have another important task in the preseason, which is to participate in the NBA Huaguo Game, and they will go to Huaguo with the San Antonio Spurs.

The opening of the free market is approaching day by day, and various rumors have begun to appear in many media, but the Timberwolves are very low-key. Chen Dazhuang also took Kaili on a sweet vacation trip. As for The team's affairs naturally have Milt as a tool man.

It is worth mentioning that within a few days after the Timberwolves won the championship, Sanders stepped down as the executive president of the Timberwolves, and Milt also officially became the executive president of the team after the draft. The post is concurrently held by Chen Dazhuang, which means that Dazhuang is officially in charge of the Timberwolves.

The time finally came to July 7, and the free market for the new season officially opened.

With the opening of the free market, the contract renewals of each team and the signing of rookies and other reinforcement work have also been carried out one after another. The news in the major media is basically all news from 30 teams.

Melon Anthony, who became a big fish in the free market like James, also completed his contract extension with the New York Knicks.

And on July 7, James officially announced his return to Cleveland on his social networking site, claiming that he wanted to go home, the same as when he left Cleveland four years ago, although James claimed that Miami was his second hometown, but the Heat The fans think that James has betrayed the Heat. Fans who left Cleveland and the Cavaliers burned James' jerseys, but this time it was the turn of the Heat fans. On Miami Street, there was a giant poster of the Heat's family portrait. Being blacked out, Heat fans vented their dissatisfaction in this way.

It is worth mentioning that just after James announced his return to the Cavaliers, Bosh of the Heat's Big Three completed a contract extension with the Heat, a five-year contract worth 1.18 million.

"Welcome our king home. I am happy for the Cleveland fans. No one deserves a championship more than them. Now we have only one belief in our hearts and that is to bring a championship trophy to this city!" Cavaliers Boss Gilbert posted such a passage on his Twitter.

For a while, the combination of James + Irving + Love also made the Cavaliers a popular candidate for the new season championship, and at this time the Timberwolves also encountered their first trouble in the preparation stage.

"Milt, don't you know that disturbing someone's dream is a very annoying thing?" Chen Dazhuang was woken up by his own phone ringing early in the morning, and slowly pulled his arm out of Kelly's body, and then Picking up the phone, it turned out to be that guy from Milt.

"Chen, I'm really sorry, Ricky's contract extension has encountered trouble, and we're afraid we won't be able to keep him."

The words of Milt on the other end of the phone immediately woke up Chen Dazhuang. This is not good news. If Rubio can't keep him, his entire plan will be disrupted.

"What's the situation, why? Didn't we have a good talk before?"

The contract renewal with Rubio was once at a deadlock. The Timberwolves were willing to give a 4-year 4200 contract, but Rubio's agent team asked for a 5-year 7500 contract. After the intervention, the negotiations between the two parties continued. Before Da Zhuang went on vacation, the progress of the negotiations between the two parties was also advancing, so Da Zhuang started to go on vacation with confidence.

"I don't know, but I guess someone is messing around. His agent just notified us that he hopes to have a five-year contract worth 8500 million yuan, so that he can match the main players of a championship team. "

Fuck, the lion of Nima opened his mouth, this Nima is really taking advantage of the fire, this opening must not be opened, otherwise the next contract renewal will be in big trouble.

"Well, I'll contact Ricky and see what he has to say, but the price is definitely not good, and I'll call you back later."

After hanging up the phone, Da Zhuang sat there thinking for a while before calling Rubio.

"Ricky, how are you doing?"

"Boss? I heard you went on vacation. I've been fine recently."

"Ricky, I called you. You should know why. I want to hear you tell me why." Da Zhuang could hear someone on the other side of the phone.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I think I can take this much." Rubio's voice came out after waiting for a while on the other end of the phone.

"You should know about Greg's contract renewal. Do you think you can get more than him?"

"Boss, sorry, I still think I can."

"OK, then I can only say sorry, Ricky, thank you for your contribution to the Timberwolves last season, and now you are completely free."

After saying this, Da Zhuang hung up the phone immediately.

For MLGB, let's see what you can do if you go to another team.

"Milter, don't continue talking. You can help me sort out a piece of data on point guards in the free market. I'll wait until I get back. We'll have a detailed discussion at that time, and ask if there is any possibility of some transactions."

After hanging up Rubio's call, Da Zhuang immediately notified Milt.

"Honey, what's the matter? Is something wrong?" Kelly came over at this time.

"I'm afraid I'm going to end my vacation early. Ricky's contract extension has collapsed. I need to find a point guard for the team."
