Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 73 Whiteside's Spring
2011年11月26日，劳资双方在经过了长达15小时的谈判后终于宣布达成协议，结束了持续时间长达149天的停摆，新赛季将于12月25日正式拉开帷幕，12月9日自由球员市场和训练营将同时开启。

At this time, Tyreke is ready to welcome the new season, and at this time, the management of the Sacramento Kings is also discussing fiercely for the upcoming free agent market and the team lineup for the new season.

Sleep Train Arena, team meeting room.

Big Boss Vivek Ranadive, General Manager Jeff Petri, Head Coach Paul Westphal, President Chris Grant, Chief Operating Officer Martina Clarktonis, Chief Financial Officer John Derringhardt and other team executives gather here.

"Well, everyone is here. Today we opened this meeting. Now that the lockout is over and the new season is about to start, I want to hear everyone's opinions on the team's lineup reinforcement for the new season." Vivek Ranadive He took the lead in speaking and started this high-level meeting.

The general manager of the team, Petri, glanced at the big boss, rubbed his palms and said, "Tyreke Evans, DeMarcus Cousins, Benno Udri, Francisco Garcia, Jay Sen. Thompson, Omi Casspi, Hassan Whiteside, Anthony Morrow, these are the players that the team currently has under contract, restricted free agent Marcus Thornton and unrestricted free agent Player Samuel Dalembert has entered the free agent market due to the expiration of his contract, as well as Kenneth Faried, Jimmy Butler, Lavoy Allen, Isaiah Thomas, With four rookies waiting to sign this year, that's where we are today."

Petri glanced at the team coach Westphal who was sitting beside him. They had already had a long discussion on the team's lineup, the coaching staff, the scouting team, and the team's technical staff. Terfal gave him a look, motioning for Petri to continue.

佩特里笑了笑，接着说道：“球队新赛季的薪资空间相当充足，仍有合同再身的球员下赛季的薪水为，泰瑞克.埃文斯415万美元、德马库斯.考辛斯363万美元、本诺.尤德里693万美元、弗朗西斯科.加西亚580万美元、杰森.汤普森300万美元、欧米.卡斯比108万美元、哈桑.怀特塞德76万美元、安东尼.莫罗400万美元，如果签约4名新秀的话，肯尼思.法里德136万美元、吉米.巴特勒104万美元、拉伊沃.阿伦47万美元、以赛亚.托马斯47万美元。共计3269万美元。”

Petrie changed the subject here, "However, there is no special big fish in the free agent market this year that we should attack and the team currently has young players such as Tyreke Evans as the main frame, and the personnel structure is relatively reasonable. , so we are not particularly interested in re-opening the free agent market, but we have already made some moves..."

Vivek Ranadive listened with his chin in his hand, but did not speak. The team coach Westphal next to Petri said: "We should sign all four rookies. In this case, one We have Tyreke, Benno, Anthony, and Isaiah at the second position, Francisco, Omi, and Jimmy at the third position, both Jimmy and Francisco can swing to the second position, and Jason, Ken at the fourth position. Nice, Lavoy, DeMarcus and Hassan at the 4. I was hoping to keep Marcus as a restricted free agent, but I got Anthony through a trade before and signed Jimmy at the same time, although Marcus is good, and he has only played in the team for half a season, but everyone knows that his style of play occupies the ball very much, and the team has sufficient personnel reserves in the first and second positions, so it seems useless to renew his contract. Then it is necessary..."

Vivek Ranadive nodded, still resting his chin on his hand, pointing his index finger at Westphal, "Well, go on..."

Westphal cleared his throat and continued: "Samuel has entered the free agent market, and Samuel and we are both hesitant about whether to return to the team... DeMarcus has shown the qualities of a star. Potential, besides Tyreke, the team's No. [-] man, next season he must be the starting center. Samuel is a defensive center, as a substitute can be regarded as doing his duty, but next season I will Let DeMarcus play more time, and the playing time of the backup center will continue to decrease. Judging from the limited playing time last season, although Hassan is not efficient, he can also play the role of a substitute. I plan to give Hassan more More playing time, and at the same time, Jason in the fourth position can also play as a center forward, so we are more inclined to let Samuel go."

Although I don't know if there is a reason for Tyreke. After all, Tyreke suggested last season that Coach Westphal should give Whiteside more opportunities, but now Westphal means that next season Cousins ​​will be an iron fighter. At the same time, the playing time will be further increased, and Whiteside will become the main substitute for the center position!
Vivek Ranadive knocked on the table and said lightly: "Well, so the two teams don't plan to renew their contracts. I don't plan to interfere with the team's personnel arrangements this year. Tell me directly, In addition to the players under contract and unsigned rookies, the team's plan is beyond this."

Petri took the opportunity to take over the words of the big boss and said: "The team is currently dominated by young people. In the next two years, several players will face the issue of contract renewal. In order to have flexible salary space in the future, and at the same time bring the team With more experience and toughness, we plan to sign two powerful veterans with two 2- to 3-year contracts."

Westphal also responded: "According to the current situation in the free agent market and combined with the current situation of the team, two players will be signed at the third and fourth positions."

Then Petrie swore: "David West can be regarded as the best fourth position in the free agent market today. He was selected as an All-Star for two consecutive years in the 07-08 and 08-09 seasons. Now he is 31 years old. He still has great strength. We have already conducted in-depth negotiations with David. David is very optimistic about the prospects of our team. The team is very likely to win David and let him be the team's starter. Position 31. At position 06, the team's primary goal is the 07-year-old Caron Butler who just won the championship with the Dallas Mavericks. He is an All-Star in the 07-08 and [-]-[-] season , the current strength of Caron is also not to be underestimated. Once he is signed, he will compete with Francisco for the starting number three. Similarly, we have great confidence in winning Caron!"
