NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 305 You are not allowed to go to the rocket
A day later, Davidson caught the Grizzlies generals came to the city of Houston.

Because of what Lao Wang said, now Davidson has no good feelings for Houston at all.

Because the team's annual income, profitability, and owner information are not secrets, the dissemination of such information has not been prohibited within the club.

Davidson also knew something about the Rockets through chatting with other people.

The Rockets are considered an older team in the NBA, but their profitability is not strong, it can only be regarded as average. It can be regarded as the kind of team that neither loses money nor makes much money.

For example, the Rockets now have a gross income of about 500 million U.S. dollars a year.

It seems that 500 million US dollars a year seems to be a lot, but after deducting taxes, player salaries, staff salaries, arena rental and other expenses, there is not much left.

The Rockets' home arena, the Toyota Center Arena, is not the arena of the Rockets owner. They also have to pay to play games in this arena.

And this situation has been directly changed since 2002. The Rockets have become the top five teams in the league in terms of profitability, and even surpassed the Los Angeles Lakers in single-season profitability.

In 02, the rocket's profit was only 8000 million, but in 09, the rocket's profit directly rushed to a height of nearly 7000 million.

In just seven years, the profit more than doubled. Why did this happen? !
That is naturally the support of Chinese fans plus Chinese sponsors.

Of the 9000 million or nearly [-] million NBA fans in China, at least [-]% of them are fans of the Rockets. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the Rockets to make money.

But if such a team that eats and makes money from China does such a thing, then there is really no need for support for this team.

Even after Dayao retired, the Rockets could still earn a lot of money from China.

"Coach, what are you thinking?" Seeing Davidson in a daze, Dazhi asked involuntarily.

"I don't think so." Davidson waved his hand.

"By the way, Big Zhi, remember what I said. In the future, it doesn't matter which team you join. Anyway, the Rockets must not be in your backup plan. You should also tell your teammates on the national team. Those little brothers of your national team, no matter what, you can't join the Rockets anyway."

Davidson said to Da Zhi.

Dazhi nodded in puzzlement. Although he couldn't understand why Davidson said this suddenly, he still habitually obeyed Davidson's request.

Players from China are particularly good, that is, they are obedient, especially for players with military background like Da Zhi, the orders given by the coach are like military orders to them.

Of course, sometimes high obedience is not necessarily a good thing.

……

"By the way, coach, you should have an impression of that little brother Dayao from our national team before?" Da Zhi asked suddenly, thinking of something.

Davidson nodded. He was naturally impressed by the big young man who might be 225 in height.

"Why, is he going to participate in the draft?" Davidson asked.

"He called me two days ago. He really had this idea, but it seems that his club doesn't allow it, and he is not old enough now. He is thinking about helping Shanghai win the CBA championship before talking to the team. Maybe the team will let him participate in the draft."

"If we can win Dayao at that time, I believe that with his potential, we will definitely be able to play." Dazhi said with a smile.

Davidson nodded. With the increasing commercialization of CBA nowadays, it will become much more difficult for CBA players to participate in the draft.

At the beginning, Daba would come to participate in the draft, and Daba hadn't entered a professional team yet. The only resistance was the Basketball Center.

Later, Dazhi participated in the draft because he was from the Bayi team, which is a relatively special team. To put it bluntly, the only resistance for Dazhi to participate in the draft is the same as that of the bus, and also only the basketball management center.

As for the follow-up players to participate in the draft, it is not so simple. In addition to the resistance of the basketball management center, there may be the resistance of the original home team.

If there is a contract, the parent team will not let him go, and the NBA will not accept it.

Even if the basketball management center urges the team to release the player, those home teams may not necessarily listen to the basketball management center.

In the history of the CBA, for example, the Aoshen team has been stubborn and ignored the instructions of the basketball management center. Later, it withdrew from the CBA league and went to the United States to play in the league.

Davidson is not sure whether Dayao, a young man, will be able to successfully participate in the draft in the future. Anyway, it seems to be difficult for at least the past two years.

If you do come to the draft at that time, if the draft pick is low, Davidson doesn't mind taking it down.

Judging from the data of Yao Ming in the CBA last season, the draft pick should not be too high. After all, he only averaged 10 points and 8 rebounds per game...

……

"Beep beep!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the starting players of the home and away teams began to appear.

In the warm-up phase before the game, Davidson chatted with Muresan for a while.

I haven't seen Muresan for several months, and I feel that I have gained a lot of weight, and the tonnage is estimated to be much larger.

Perhaps due to injuries, Muresan has not been able to train well in the past six months, and his weight has naturally skyrocketed.

Right now, Muresan looks even more intimidating, like a super mammoth from ancient times.

But Davidson is very clear that Muresan's career is basically over this season.

Without the bonus of the system, and under normal circumstances, Muresan will retire this season. This season's Muresan's strength is estimated to be out of ten.

The original Muresan was definitely the league's top inside blue-collar center.

Not counting Rodman, a blue-collar power forward, the only one who is qualified to be compared with Muresan is Mutombo.

Many people even think that Muresan is stronger than Mutombo. After all, Muresan's tonnage and height are more terrifying than Mutombo.

But this season, Muresan is definitely going to die.

In the Rockets' first game, Muresan played a total of 22 minutes and only scored 4 points and 4 rebounds.

The decline in strength has been severe, and this is not the biggest problem facing Muresan.

The biggest problem for Muresan now is the incompatibility with Pippen.

Davidson heard the gossip that conflicts broke out within the Rockets, and Muresan and Pippen fought in the locker room...

It is conceivable that Pippen has gone too far for a good-tempered and honest person like Muresan to fight.

But as far as Davidson knows, Muresan didn't suffer from fighting. After all, with his height and tonnage, as long as the bear hugs Pippen, Pippen will definitely have no good fruit.
