I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 573 Riley Who Wants to Poach Xu Xuan

Xu Xuan thinks that Pat Riley is really thinking too much. Or this guy is a little bewildered now. LeBron James has obviously become his inner demon, the biggest inner demon in his life.

Pat Riley would love to kill Old James if he could. But obviously, he can't.

No matter how much Pat Riley doesn't want to admit it, LeBron is the best player in this league for a decade.

Since LeBron left, Pat Riley has been thinking of ways to drive James off the altar, including signing Luol Deng, Wade and Bosh to re-form the Big Three, all tending to this purpose.

But unfortunately, he didn't succeed.

Facts have proved that his operation of signing Luol Deng to replace James' "new big three" is a piece of shit. It's just the first step, including establishing Da Baibian as the core player, which is only part of his team building journey, and it's all to prepare for the introduction of superstars in the future!

Everyone thinks that the Heat's boss is Dabaibian. In fact, in Pat Riley's mind, Dabaibian is just a transitional substitute. How can he fail to see the limitations of Dabaibian with his old-fashioned vision?
But there is no way to see it clearly. Dabaibian is a player with such attributes. In other words, Riley will not let Dabaibian take the initiative to change. He is suitable for the role of the second master.

Riley kills two birds with one stone. Instead of spending a lot of money to form the Big Three, it is better for me to cultivate one first, so that the cost of building a super battleship will be much lighter.

This time, Pat Riley is not going to let it go, either he will come, or he will use the combination of the big white edge and Dragic to eat and wait for death.

Xu Xuan, Durant, Harden, Curry... These superstars in the league who can really lead the team to victory are his "prey", and Xu Xuan is undoubtedly the player he wants most, whether it is This season's "bloody suppression of James" or this season's "weak Lakers" all the way to No. [-] in the league made him look at Xu Xuan differently.

Xu Xuan is the "perfect answer" in Riley's mind. If he can come to the Heat, the Heat will immediately become one of the favorable contenders for the championship. With one or two stars, then with three to four stars, the Heat's competitiveness will be too strong, and it will not be difficult to kill James by then.

This is what Pat Riley really thinks, so he is very thirsty for Xu Xuan, and he has been so thirsty that he can't choose what to eat.
But Xu Xuan is not prepared to just go from the Heat's descendants. Under Riley's manipulation, he did return to the finals. The time interval was not long. In a few years, he went from rebuilding a team to returning to the finals , Riley's ability is indeed there, but in the end, he still lost.

Xu Xuan has no intention of cooperating with him. Pat Riley is a man with a strong desire to control, and Xu Xuan himself has never denied his super strong desire to control. Whether it is in the Pacers or the Lakers, Xu Xuan said They are very important, especially after coming to the Lakers, including the boss Jenny Buss, they are very cautious about Xu Xuan's opinions, and will do what Xu Xuan said if there is no accident.

And Pat Riley is obviously impossible to be a tool man honestly, just like Xu Xuan will never team up with LeBron. LeBron can make the game very comfortable, but Xu Xuan also has this ability. The king does not see the king.

James can cooperate with Curry and Durant.

Xu Xuan can also cooperate with Curry and Durant.

But Xu Xuan and James really couldn't pee in the same pants.

Therefore, Xu Xuan really did not intend to cooperate with Riley.

After hearing Riley's "big plan", Xu Xuan felt calm.

Nice plan, but sadly not my thing.
After playing the Heat on the 22nd, the Lakers rushed to the next city, Orlando, their last opponent in this seven-game away game, the Orlando Magic.

The Magic have been rebuilding since Howard left, but their rebuilding speed is really not good. After so many years, a bad team is still a bad team, and there has been no improvement. Moreover, their management is very stupid, either It was bought by others.

In this summer, the Magic made a deal with the Thunder. The Magic sent Oladipo, Ilyasova and this year's No. 11 pick in the first round, Sabonis Jr., to get Ibaka from the Thunder.

Seriously, this deal is really stupid. With the Magic's current roster, is there any benefit to getting Ibaka?

Can you win the championship or what can you do?
For the sake of an old Ibaka, the promising Oladipo was traded with Sabonis Jr., and a scorer Ilyasova was added on the bench. Well, even if they are stupid, they can't be so stupid. They are simply playing stupid to the extreme. In this field, there are very few people who can match them.
It's really stupid.

Who is Oladipo?

The All-Star players of later generations, if it weren't for the "curse" of the Pacers, Audi's achievements would definitely not be low. If he is still where can he get young players like Adebayor and Russell?

Audi's achievements are comparable to pickled peppers, the league's super giant!

But unfortunately, he failed to resist the Pacers' "spell of bad luck" in the end, and was injured and frustrated.

And Sabonis Jr. will also be the main player averaging 18+12 per game in the future, the league's top insider.

As a result, the two talented and talented people were sent away by the Magic. In the end, they only got an old Ibaka. This business was done. The management of the Magic team may not be collectively surrendering to the enemy. Individuals will not know. Make such a deal.

To sum up, the management of the Magic team has been quite a beast in the past few years. After "Taobao", they have actually found a lot of good seedlings, but what's the use?

I don't know how to cherish it, and Ibaka cheated them. Xu Xuan also regretted it a little bit. If he had known that the management of the Magic team was so easy to cheat, he should have let the Lakers trade. It makes no sense not to want Lu Wei and Nick Young if you want Ibaka.

So here comes the question, Lu Weigarnick Young, for Oladipo plus Sabonis Jr. and Ilyasova, is this business a profit or a loss?
emmmmmmm, it's hard to say.

In addition to the foolish decision to trade Oladipo, the Magic also signed Bismack Biyombo from the free market at a price of 4 million in four years.

Biyombo left the Hornets and switched to the Raptors last season. He averaged 5.5 points, 8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game in the regular season. He performed well as a substitute for Valanjunas. The 23-year-old Biyombo can be said to have become famous at a young age. In the 2011 Nike Global Summit, Biyombo represented the international team and scored a triple-double of 12 points, 11 rebounds and 10 blocks. With this game, he entered the lottery zone in one fell swoop. In the 2011 NBA Draft, he was selected by the Hornets who were still the Bobcats with the 7th overall pick in the first round.

Since the Raptors do not have Biyombo's bird rights, the team can only sign with Biyombo within the framework of the salary cap. After renewing the contract with DeRozan, the Raptors have limited space. In the end, when the Magic offered a high price, only Reluctantly give up.

But in this way, the inside line of the Magic is really crowded.

Ibaka, Bismarck, Vucevic, Jeff Green, Stephen Zimmerman, Damian Rudez.
Yes, Green was also introduced by the Magic from the free market this season.

Green played for the Grizzlies and the Clippers respectively in the 2015-16 season. He was traded to the Clippers by the Grizzlies in the middle of the season. For this reason, the Memphis sent a future first-round pick.However, during the offseason, Green, who became a free agent, still did not reach a contract extension agreement with the Los Angeles people. In the 2015-16 season, Green's annual salary was $920 million.And his new club, the magic, won't have his bird clause next season
现年29岁的杰夫·格林是2007年选秀大会的首轮第5顺位新秀，职业生涯至今，他分别为雷霆、凯尔特人、灰熊、快船效力。至今在总共出战的636场比赛中（473场以先发身份出战），在场均32.0分钟的上场时间里他可以交出14.0分、4.9个篮板、1.7次助攻的成绩单。

When he played for the Thunder in the past, Green once formed the "troika" of the team with Durant and Westbrook, during which he had an outstanding performance.But with the growth of these young talents in Oklahoma City, the team had to make a trade-off for the purpose of controlling salary space.In the end, Green was sent to the Celtics.

在加盟凯尔特人期间，格林一度被查出心脏问题，并因此在2011-12赛季休战了一整个赛季。回归球场之后的格林仍然保持了相当出色的状态。2013-14赛季他场均能够交出16.9分、4.6个篮板、1.7次助攻的成绩单。

In the 2014-15 season, Green was traded to the Grizzlies, but he was not very adaptable to the tactics of the Memphis people, and his statistics have also declined compared to previous seasons. In the 2015-16 season, after joining the Clippers, Green played more of a substitute role for the team.In the 27 games he played in Los Angeles, he only played as a starter in 10 games. He averaged 26.3 minutes per game, contributing 10.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists.

There are six inside players and they are many, but none of them are all-around players, and they have more or less corresponding shortcomings on both ends of the offense and defense.

As an outside player, Payton Jr. will get a lot of opportunities to express himself in the new season, but so far he has not shown the potential to be the starting guard of an NBA team.

More importantly, the team's configuration at the guard position is very weak. Perhaps none of the Magic's guards has the strength to start in other teams, and the stars are dim.

The talent shown by Jeff Green may make you excited, but his performance is not very stable and inefficient. His presence may reduce Gordon's playing time and hinder Gordon's growth.

The team's plan for the new season is very vague. The team introduced some expensive veterans, but this does not make the Magic a playoff team. ?The drastic changes in the team's lineup in the new season may cause the players to fail to have a chemical reaction.

Just rely on the big man?
Just relying on the big man has a fart!
The management of the Magic team is really Shi Lezhi. They have no brains. They only pile inside players on the team, which is actually useful.

Can a big man be eaten?
Their minds are still stuck in the era when monsters ruled the world, and they have not yet entered the current era.

However, the Magic has a lot of young and talented players, such as Aaron Gordon and Fournier, who performed very stably last season.

Fournier completed his contract extension with the Magic this year, and the new contract will be $5 million for five years.

Fournier is a restricted free agent, so the Magic have the right to match any team's offer for Fournier.

Fournier is a Frenchman, aged 23, who serves as a shooting guard and small forward. He was selected by the Nuggets with the No. 2012 pick in the first round of the 20 draft. He played for the Nuggets for the first two years of his career.

However, on June 2014, 6, the Nuggets sent Fournier and Devon Marble to the Magic in exchange for Aron Afflalo.For the next two seasons, Fournier has been playing for the Magic.

It is worth mentioning that although Fournier's pick is not high, he is improving every year and improving almost every year.

Last season, he averaged 15.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 40%.

What's even more commendable is that his attendance rate is also quite high, missing only three games throughout the season.Of course, being in a weak team and the statistics are not very luxurious, Fournier's popularity is not high.

Many American fans bluntly said: "Fack! I just Googled his name." Obviously, this fan was mocking Fournier's popularity.

Some fans pointed out: "Who? This person will earn more than Curry next season?" In fact, Curry's annual salary next season will only be about 1200 million US dollars, which is far worse than Fournier.However, Curry's annual salary is considered a historical legacy and cannot be used as a comparison object.

最好还是拿富尼耶和同期续约或者签约的球星进行比较，特雷托维奇3年3000万美元，帕森斯4年9400万美元。那么问题来了，场均13.7分的帕森斯的年薪（平均）可以达到2350万，场均15.4分的富尼耶为什么就不能年薪1700万呢？

The skyrocketing salary cap is the general environment. Under this situation, it is reasonable for the contract to have a slight premium.Now that the management has made a decision, it is reasonable-at least it is reasonable before these players have played their worth. As for the latter, who can control so much?

Not everyone is a boss. Anyway, the boss will pay the money, and it has nothing to do with them. What the management needs to do is to keep people.

However, in the 2015-2016 season, Fournier's annual salary was about 229 million U.S. dollars, and in a blink of an eye he became a rich and handsome man with an annual salary of 1700 million. The salary has increased by about 5.4 times, and the visual impact is quite strong.
