super small forward

Chapter 549 549. Cut off!
There was one more person in the peeping party. When Liu Ren and Xiao Niu were having a big battle in the living room, there were a pair of eyes secretly watching from the passage from the kitchen to the living room and the corridor down the second floor...

Without any suspense, the little girl was tossed again. The painful and happy little girl began to complain about the unreliable big loli. What about being a mistress?What about people?
……

……

Several days have passed since the finals, but the popularity of the NBA has not decreased much, because the annual draft is about to begin!

Although not many people were regarded as super rookies in 2015, because many talented players entered the nba in 2014, but the talent is still not bad. After all, the salary cap will rise sharply in 2016, and young people want to enter the nba early. End the rookie contract earlier and enjoy the huge salary brought by the new salary cap earlier.

Sometimes the draft is the best chance to turn an underestimated team around, just like the Spurs and the Lakers. It took the Spurs more than ten years to pick Duncan, and the Lakers took Kobe Bryant for more than ten years. Liu Ren was selected before, and when the Lakers dynasty was about to collapse, he suddenly turned the team back and became a super strong team again.

Due to the influence of Liu Ren and the little assassin, those so-called "buried" geniuses are quite popular now. For example, Booker, who was signed by Xiaoniu before, was successfully promoted by Xiaoniu to the owner The No.13 pick in the first round of the Suns, the Suns also made a promise to choose Booker.

As for Porzingis... This European white center, those teams with high drafts don't want to choose it, which hurts Liu Ren very much, and the chick has rolled her eyes at him for several days.

Have no idea!The white European centers in the past decade or so are all pitfalls!Milicic and Bargnani, a No. 03 pick in 06, a No. 05 pick in [-], and perhaps Bogut, the No. [-] pick in [-], have pulled the market for white center forwards as low as they can. The yellow market pulls down the same.

The Bucks with the fourth pick expressed their willingness to use the second-round pick to select Porzingis, the Magic with the fifth pick expressed their willingness to select him with the 51st pick, and the Kings with the No. The Nuggets with the No. 6 pick said they have enough inside manpower...

In short, no team in the lottery area is willing to choose Porzingis... This is a sad story. After the Knicks rose, there was no lottery pick. is a problem...

In this way, I don’t know when the 50 euros that Liu Ren paid in advance will be earned back from Porzingis...

But now Liu Ren and Xiao Niu put this matter aside for the time being, because their endorsement negotiations with Nike are about to start.

Just this morning, Chick’s agency sent Nike a termination notice. Of course, there is another clause in Nike’s termination clause, which is the priority to renew the contract. If Liu Ren gets invitations to endorse other sneakers, they can match.

When talking about business, Xiao Niu went with Monica and the company's legal counsel. Xiao Niu knows Liu Ren too well, and Liu Ren will definitely feel annoyed after talking for a long time, and then she might throw out a sentence: "Sign it, sign it It's annoying."

In this way, Nike will be high, and the chick's wallet will be deflated a lot.

Such a major event as sneaker endorsement cannot be negotiated in a day or two, or even in a month or two. Liu Ren's next pair of boots will be released in February next year, so there is enough time for Nike to negotiate.

Xiao Niu was also not in a hurry, she just procrastinated like that, and then asked the familiar media to release the news that Liu Ren had executed the terms of Nike's termination, adding pressure to Nike.

After the finals, Liu Ren is going to rest for a period of time. After the offseason begins, he will take his family out for a trip. It will be around the end of July, that is, he will start training one month after the finals.

If the thing I love becomes a job, no matter how much I love it, I still want to take a break, and by the way, relieve the fatigue caused by playing for almost nine months.

And this rest arrangement was arranged by the team's trainer Gaddy. Gaddy initially arranged a two-month rest to give LaVine, Clarkson, Antetokounmpo and other rookies and second-year players who didn't have so much playing time. The players started training directly.

The difference in treatment is so obvious.

But Liu Ren shortened the time to one month, otherwise it would be troublesome if he really played off by then.

Liu Ren stayed at home for the past two days after the holiday. Apart from swimming slowly to relieve muscle fatigue and training to increase physical fitness, the rest of the time was spent playing.

On June 6, the draft began, and Liu Ren was watching the draft at home.

This year the Lakers are basically spectators in the draft. Their first round is with the 76ers. Although it is a painless pick, I don’t feel bad about it. But it’s a bit weird not to pick anyone in the draft this year. .

On June 6, the NBA Draft was held at the Barclays Center in New York.

The Timberwolves, who had the No. 76 pick, chose Karl Towns, an all-around power center produced by the University of Kentucky, without any suspense. The Orlando Magic, who won the No. 76 pick, selected Jahlil Okafor. This time, there was no surprise for the [-]ers. Without the Lakers cutting in front, the [-]ers successfully selected their favorite combo guard D'Angelo Russell.

Sure enough, there was no suspense, the three superstar embryos were all selected, and the head coach and executive president of the Bucks, Mr. Kidd, could only choose Mario Hezonja, who is known as a talented European shooting guard.

The draft teams are still those teams. The top three picks have long been doomed. Without the real superstar embryos, the other teams are just like Liu Ren's original time and space. They all choose the rookies they think are most suitable for their teams.

For example, the Nuggets, who like to play fast, still chose Mudiay. The Suns immediately fell in love with this talented young man after Booker went to try out, and wanted to train him slowly like LaVine of the Lakers.

The newcomers signed by Chick's agency this year are basically not popular players, and there is no way to temporarily compete with those big companies that have [-] to [-] active players.

Until the No.20 fifth pick in the first round was selected, Booker was the only player signed by Chick's agency.

Xiao Niu was watching the live broadcast of the talent show next to Liu Ren.

There is no way, I don't have any members of the Little Green House, so I can only wait outside, so Monica and other employees are waiting there, and the chick comes back first.

"Aren, you are so smart, other teams don't want it, and you think Porzingis is talented, so we might as well make trouble for the Lakers to pick him." Xiao Niu was happy like a silly girl.

Just now, the Lakers managed to catch up with the last train of the first round, using the 2017 first-round pick plus the signing rights of overseas players to reach a deal with the Eagles, and got the Eagles' No.20 seventh pick in the first round of this year Add the Hawks' Mike Scott's remaining two-year, $667 million contract.

Mike Scott was the Hawks' second-round pick in 2012, when he signed a 2-year minimum salary.

In the 2013-2014 season, Mike Scott broke out in the contract year, averaging 9 points and 4 rebounds per game, and successfully got a 3-year mini-middle class from the Eagles.

Facts have proved that out of ten players who broke out in the contract year, there are nine pitfalls!This season is the first year of Mike Scott's new contract. The data dropped from 9+4 in the second grade to 4+3 in the rookie year. Since the contract of the Eagles power forward Paul Millsap expired this summer, The next contract cannot be won without around 2000 million. Bazemore will also have to renew his contract. He may choose to jump out of the second-year player option of the two-year contract he signed with the Lakers. With an average of 15 points per game, don’t even think about keeping it for less than 1000 million. The Eagles need to make room to avoid the salary exceeding the luxury tax line after renewing Millsap and Bazemore. At this time, Mike Scott The contract that seemed to be nothing even if it was kept suddenly became very eye-catching.

The current salary of the Eagles is 6400 million. Millsap’s contract this year is 900 million, and Bazemore’s contract this year is 200 million. Since the Eagles have the bird rights of these two players, they can renew their contracts on the salary cap. Yes, the salary cap for next season will be around 7000 million, and the luxury tax threshold will be around 8400 million. After renewing the contracts of Millsap and Bazemore, the Eagles' total salary will increase by at least 2000 million, almost reaching the luxury tax threshold. Clicked.

And since 2016 is about to come, the agents of various players are starting to open their mouths. Maybe 1000 million can't keep Bazemore, so the Eagles have to clear up the salary space.

At this time, Mike Scott's contract is extremely eye-catching. Wouldn't it be better to use the money given to him to keep Bazemore?

So the Eagles chose to agree to the exchange of draft picks requested by the Lakers. They can get rid of Mike Scott's contract without losing a first-round pick. In the round-robin, Sam Decker, the white small forward that the Eagles want to choose, has been selected by the Rockets. The Eagles simply fulfilled the Lakers' request.

Although Budenholzer, the head coach and executive president of the Eagles, seemed to feel that the Lakers were looking for a baby with a low pick again, he couldn't guess who it was, so he could only complete this deal.

Yes, it was Liu Ren who suggested to Kupchak that if the Latvian center named Porzingis has not been selected by the team at the end of the first round, he can find a way to win it.

As for why Liu Ren said that the end of the first round is not a safer position?

This time there is really no way, the Lakers have almost no bargaining chips available now, except for one that can be changed in the first round of 2017, basically there are no bargaining chips that can be moved.

Kobe and Gasol are definitely not tradable. Jeremy Lin and Henry’s contract expires, and Jeremy Lin’s transaction value is already negative equity. When the Rockets got rid of his contract, they gave the draft pick to the Lakers. The future core lineup of Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside is unshakable. Clarkson, a rookie, Kobe said he likes it very much. Thackeray is cheap and can boost morale. Korver and Nick Young are the indispensable three for the Lakers. Break up, even if it is to trade Antetokounmpo, these two important firepowers outside the three-point line cannot be traded for the time being, and Antetokounmpo is used to trade a mid-level draft pick...it is better to go directly to the Magic or the 76ers If someone discusses changing their top three picks, the two teams will most likely agree...

Therefore, after discussing with Kupchak, Liu Ren decided to wait. If Porzingis has not been selected in his twenties, he will eat some junk contracts and exchange the 2017 draft pick for the first round.

Kupchak's vision of Liu Ren can be described as superstitious. Liu Ren's explanation for this is that his agency has many scouts and has observed many young European players. Porzingis...

In short, Kupchak believed in Liu Ren's vision. Antetokounmpo would have to be traded for another year at most. If a big man with the same talent comes, he can use his rookie contract for two more years!
This is not only good for the Lakers, but also a lot for Liu Ren. The team's salary space will be more flexible, and it will be easier for him to win more victories.

Just when Chiu Niu and Liu Ren were expecting the Lakers to select Porzingis, a sudden change occurred!

Bald president Adam Silva announced that the New York Knicks selected 20-year-old center Kristaps Porzingis from Latvia with the No.18 sixth pick in the first round!
Liu Ren, Xiao Niu, Kupchak, and Xiao Niu have already notified the Lakers that Porzingis will pick him, and at the same time, Porzingis is outraged abroad.
