shooting guard era

Chapter 227 257. A team interested in players from all over the world

Regarding the fact that the team chose a shooting guard and did not reinforce the point guard, the reason why Ye Han didn't respond much was that he was speechless. More importantly, the team had a lot of salary space, enough to recruit an excellent point guard.

This year's draft was uneventful, and there were no big deals, because this year's draft was mediocre except for the top five, and each of them had some immediate strength.

Because apart from the five talented rookies, the other players are not too different in the eyes of the management of each team, and no other team will grab the ones they choose.

On July [-]st, the free market opened, and the teams began to trade for rebuilding or reinforcement.

Bickerstaff didn't get a chance to play in the draft, and now it's time for him to play freely.

The boss is stingy, and it is impossible to spend a lot of money to recruit a big-name player, and there is no suitable big-name player to trade this year.

So Bickerstaff tried to find those strong players.

His first target was Warriors backup point guard Derek Fisher.

The current guard line of the Warriors is slightly bloated, with a total of seven people. Among them, Fisher may threaten the position of the team's new core Baron Davis. After all, this is a championship-level point guard.

When Bickerstaff heard the news, he was very excited. A point guard who is in his prime, does not occupy the ball, has a big heart at critical moments, and has championship experience. Everything is very in line with the team's reinforcement ideas.

Ye Han was also excited when he learned about the target of this reinforcement from Bickerstaff. It seems that the team already has a plan, no wonder they didn't pick a point guard in the draft.

The conditions given by the Bobcats are very generous, and the Warriors are now very scarce forward-Gerald Wallace.

Of course, Ye Han didn't know the bargaining chips offered by the team, but he wouldn't react much if he knew it was Gerald Wallace. If the person he was least familiar with in this team was Gerrard - Wallace.

But the Warriors refused!Then they completed a deal with the Jazz, who had a good relationship with them, and sent Fisher to the Jazz in exchange for a second-round pick next year and the team's Jazz shooting guard Jones Sneijder, and Sneijder was waived immediately!
In other words, the Jazz got Fisher after only sending one second round.

It was the first time that Bickerstaff felt the blow brought by the team's lack of background. It was obviously a better bargaining chip, but the opponent chose a team with a better relationship to make a deal.

When Ye Han got the news, he was a little bit astonished, because he got the news from Kobe. According to the clearer news from Kobe, Fisher didn't want to go to a remote city to play, he wanted Riga to be closer. , can take better care of his sick daughter.

Charlotte, a small town, has basically no place to attract stars, except for the convenience of watching the NCAA basketball game in North Carolina.

"It's really..." Ye Han felt some of James' feelings.

After the deal between the Jazz and the Warriors was finalized, Bickerstaff hurried to contact Gary Payton. The veteran’s contract with the Celtics had expired. If he could be signed, not only would the defense of the back line be greatly strengthened, It can also guide Ye Han's defense.

But Payton rejected the Bobcats' invitation. He once again chose to hug O'Neal's thigh and join the Heat.

Then the Bobcats offered the next candidate, Sam Cassell, but Cassell chose to join the Clippers, saying that he wanted to play in a big city...

Rejected Rejected Rejected...

……

It's been almost a month since the free market started, and the Bobcats haven't reached a single substantive deal or contract.

Because Ye Han and Hill are on this team, the Bobcats have a lot of attention, so the news that came out is that the Bobcats are interested in a certain person and are negotiating with the player or the player's team. One day, the player or the team announced that the player had gone to another place.

And this place has never been a bobcat.

The Bobcats suddenly became interested in players from all over the world, and none of them showed up.

From the very beginning, Ye Han was excited when he heard who the team wanted to recruit, but now he only has hehe.

Seeing Larry Hughes transfer to the Cavaliers and sign a 5-year maximum salary of 7500 million, Ye Han could only think hehe, his boss gave 5 million for 5000 years, and no one else.

Not long after that, a high-profile trade occurred. The Kings traded sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic from the Pacers for Ron Artest, who had just been suspended for the entire season.

Artest's battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills made the Pacers heartbroken. Neither the fans nor the management wanted him to stay in the team any longer. .

At the same time, another protagonist of the Auburn Hills battle, Stephen Jackson, was sent away by the Pacers. He was sent to the Clippers in exchange for this year's Most Improved Player Bobby Simmons.

The Heat have also strengthened. In addition to signing Payton, the point guard also signed another favorite player of the Bobcats, Jason Williams.

So, in other words, the Bobcats have been busy for a month and got nothing.

There are some players in other positions who want to come to the Bobcats, most of them are some bench players, wanting to try their luck.

Until the start of the summer league, the Bobcats got nothing. Others didn't come if they wanted it, and they didn't like it if they wanted to come. They felt it was a waste of money.

Ye Han didn't participate in the summer league this year, if he went to participate again, he would be bullying others.

This year's Bobcats summer league has players on the team Hart, Sly, Melvin Eli, rookie Webster, Mark Hill, David Lee, and Carlos Delfino, who played two games last year. People participated, and the rest were some free agents and undrafted picks who were selected by assistant coach Steve Smith to participate.

Without exception, those who participated in the summer league are all players who may be given up by the team. Among them, the contracts of Hart, Sly, and Eli have expired, and they must perform well if they want to get a contract extension.

In the end, Steve Smith and Bisketaff made new signings and waivers based on the performance of the game.

Melvin Eli's strength is indeed limited, not as good as the two low-ranking rookies Max Hill and David Lee selected this year, who did not get a contract extension.

Both Hart and Sly received a one-year non-guaranteed basic salary contract. If they continue to be retained by the team until January 1 next year, the contract will be fully guaranteed.

The combination of David Lee and Mark Hill's short insiders is impressive, but unfortunately they won't get much playing time in the Bobcats.
