NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 182

When Davidson and Dad took their seats, the entire draft venue became lively.

All the people present here are the management of the league. What they are most concerned about now is the extremely chaotic free market this season.

Speaking of confusion, the main reason is that the price of free agents is too high, which makes these management headaches.

Players who could be signed for 500 million yuan may not be able to get 1000 million now. If something goes wrong, such as after the player signs the contract, the state drops sharply or a serious injury occurs, then these managements will definitely not be able to afford it.

Dad has nothing to do now, chatting with the old Nelson next to him, and Davidson is also discussing the current league situation with a few familiar coaches.

The deal between the Suns and the Kings is not a secret in the small circle. Rockets coach Tomjanovich looked at Davidson with a tangled expression.

The Rockets were actually thinking about Barkley. After being eliminated in the playoffs, they immediately contacted the Suns.

Unexpectedly, the Suns chose the Kings in the end.

Speaking of which, the Rockets don't have too much bargaining chips in the team now. The previous trade of Drexler almost emptied the entire background of the Rockets.

The bargaining chips that the Rockets can use are forward Robert Horry plus rookie point guard Sam Cassell, a power forward plus a point guard. Although these two are good in strength, at least in the current situation, they are not much different from Grant and Snow.

The main reason is that Barkley himself is inclined to join the Kings, and the Suns are naturally willing to make a smooth sail and meet Barkley's requirements as much as possible.

Later, after the Kings were willing to use Walter as a bargaining chip, the Suns were even more determined to trade. The bargaining chips offered by the Kings were much more attractive than the Rockets.

Davidson also noticed Tang Shuai's expression. Barkley told Davidson before that the Rockets deliberately invited him to play in Houston.

"Wilson, after getting Barkley, you guys have risen completely." Tang Shuai said with a wry smile.

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future, and it may not be possible to achieve ideal results." Davidson waved his hand and said modestly.

The arrival of Barkley has both advantages and disadvantages, and it does not necessarily guarantee that the Kings will win the championship. Davidson is really interested in Nash's addition to the team's combat power.

A bus has brought about a qualitative change in the king, and if Nash is added, the king's combat power will become incomparably terrifying.

……

The most talked about in the whole venue was Jordan's $3000 million contract, which was really horrifying.

It is no exaggeration to say that the salaries of half of the head coaches in the league combined are not as much as Jordan earned this year, which is really enviable.

When it comes to the coach's salary, Davidson's previous coaching contract with the Kings was only signed for one year, which Davidson voluntarily requested.

He is very clear that under his leadership, the king's record will definitely soar, and his worth will not only be 120 million US dollars by then.

If it is signed, it is naturally more cost-effective to sign for one year, and the price can be raised this year.

The Kings didn't think so much before. Davidson wanted to sign for a year, and they couldn't ask for it, so they simply signed a one-year contract with Davidson.

Now that the season is over, Davidson naturally has to start negotiating the signing of a new contract.

Davidson's favorite contract is an annual salary of 300 million. Speaking of which, this annual salary is definitely the top in the league, but it is definitely not the highest.

Eagles head coach Wilkens' annual salary is as high as 500 million US dollars, but he has two roles, not only the head coach of the Eagles, but also the general manager of the Eagles.

Davidson's current $300 million has already reached the level of Pat Riley and others.

Petrie also didn't give an accurate statement. For such a big contract, he must discuss it with the boss.

However, if nothing else happens, it is impossible for the king's boss to refuse this offer. The next season is the time for the king to rush to the championship. Any boss does not want any changes in the team at this point in time. Even if they spend a little more money, they will definitely be happy.

……

Amidst the chatter among the crowd, the draft officially began.

Stern took the stage and announced the candidates for the No. [-] pick.

"I announce that the Philadelphia 76ers have selected Allen Iverson from Georgetown University with the first pick in the first round."

This No. [-] pick still caused some sensation on the scene, mainly because there are very few teams in NBA history who choose guards with the No. [-] pick.

Especially for a guard as short as Iverson...

Before the game, many people predicted that the 76ers might choose Camby or Raheem as the No. 76 pick. After all, their [-]ers already have a high-ranked guard in the team, which is last season's No. [-] pick Jerry Stackhouse.

Stackhouse averaged 19.2 points per game in his rookie season, which is quite dazzling. Except for the low offensive efficiency, he is definitely a relatively outstanding existence among the 95 rookies.

In this case, it would be a better choice for the 76ers holding the No. [-] pick to choose a big player like Camby or Raheem.

After all, the combination of inside and outside, work is not tired, this is the consensus of most teams in the league.

Now that the 76ers have Stackhouse in the team, Iverson, who is shorter than Stackhouse, has been selected. Many teams are secretly laughing, feeling that the 76ers' operation is really a bit nonsensical.

Of course, they also know that there is nothing wrong with Iverson's performance in college, if he is selected as the No. 76 pick, the main reason is that the [-]ers are not suitable.

Davidson laughed, he is quite clear about NBA draft history.

Since the establishment of the NBA, if tonight is not counted in the history of the draft, there has only been one guard No. [-] overall.

That is, the No. 1973 guard Doug Collins in [-].

It's just that Collins is 198 cm tall. In that era, he was actually more like a small forward. No matter how bad he was, he was also a swingman, not a pure guard.

It is worth mentioning that this Collins was also selected by the Philadelphia 76ers...

Collins must have retired a long time ago, but he still stays in this circle. His current position is the head coach of the Detroit Pistons.

Seeing that his old club chose a guard, Collins couldn't help but smile, as if he had returned to the 1973 draft and reproduced the scene where he was selected as the No. [-] pick.

As the 76ers selected another No. 76 guard, it means that there are only two No. [-] guards in NBA history, and they were both selected by the Philadelphia [-]ers.

Davidson is not very optimistic about the choice of the 76ers. If he is allowed to choose, considering the Mubba combination in the team, he may not choose Camby and Raheem, but he will definitely not choose Iverson.

I may be more inclined to choose Marbury or Ray Allen for no other reason. These two are taller, and in terms of strength, there is no absolute disadvantage compared to Iverson.

Although Davidson is a club buyer, he is not magical enough to predict the future of every player.

Because of the small potato, he has a great shadow on short players.

Among other things, at least the defense is too much of a headache.

I dare not say anything else, at least on the defensive end, Davidson is sure that Iverson will never be better.
