NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

"As for the three in the second round, Kyle Anderson will give a two-way contract, and the other two will not give contracts for the time being. We will tell them where they will go after the free market opens." Jiang Chao actually communicated with the management just now.

Kyle Anderson got the NBDL affiliated league to practice on his own, and let him go to college in New York by the way.

The other two went to the CBA to receive the influence of the socialist iron fist, practice for a year and then give the contract. Anyway, they have already chosen, and the home team has always had the priority to sign.

Management also fully agrees.

Although I don't know if Jiang Chao did it on purpose, this year's signing is the same as last year's. Last year, he signed 5 guards, and this year he signed 3 small forwards.

But well.

There are only 3 forwards, what's the matter, five guards are not enough in the end, aren't they?

It's always right to be prepared!

And the real bloodbath is only now beginning.

After each team's draft, the sky over the free market is also clouded with lightning.

After the big fish waited and watched the teams' drafts this year.

It's finally time to open their options! !

is to bring talent to...

Still can't beat it? ?

(PS: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, brothers, thank you for reading the article in advance today, and reward yourself with a barbecue~ I hope you will be together for a long time~~~)

Chapter 267 : The book tycoon loses the election, signs a new star, and the battle for armaments begins!

"Arms war, if you are the one!"

In fact, many bigwigs started chatting at the scene today. The opening of the free market does not mean that only players whose contracts have expired can make trades. Junk contracts and premium contracts also have to be dealt with.

The Knicks' attitude here is that if you are the one, don't waste time if you come to try it out.

"Boss Jiang, can I see you next year?"

Heat President Riley didn't get anything in the draft, but for some reason he seemed in a good mood and took the initiative to smile at Jiang Chao.

There is a hidden knife in this sentence, which means that you have the ability to come and touch us in the playoffs next year?

This godfather's eyes can really be an actor.

"Sure." Jiang Chao also smiled back.

"I heard you've been serious recently?"

"Let's talk about it in a year."

Jiang Chao waved to the people behind him, and all the Knicks left the backstage directly.

Mustache and others all hated the Heat so badly, from hurting Curry to Beverly's suspension, they didn't want to see the Heat showing off their power in front of them at all.

and……

What are you pretending to be?

We also have more than 2000 million spaces!

Everyone knows that this year the Heat have a bunch of player contracts, and several junk contracts have officially expired. They can use 2-3 stars or even superstars to sign new contracts.

Coupled with Riley's methods, the Heat have reason to believe that next year's Heat will have a completely new look.

The Knicks management is also Alexander. Although Jiang Chao made a speech about his one-year appointment, it seems that the Heat will be very concerned next year. It is said that James and Wade have dinner together in Los Angeles.

But in fact, Riley couldn't fool Jiang Chao at all, because Jiang Chao knew what he did in the end.

Let him go, anyway, I do my thing.

You build galactic battleships.

I can't build a spaceship? ? ?

Ryan, the vice president of the league here, was afraid that the teams would be impatient to get in touch with the players, so he specially used the microphone to remind everyone at the end:

July 7: Allow teams to negotiate with players

July 7: Allow teams to sign players

This is the difference between David Stern's era and Silver's era. If Silver doesn't say anything, just fine you when you make a mistake.

"Boss, do you want to meet Lin? He and his team have been waiting for you at the entrance of the arena."

When Jiang Chao called Lao Lu to draw up a contract for George, Sean Marks came over and asked Jiang Chao if he wanted to meet Jeremy Lin who was not selected.

Jiang Chao said that I will see you first. You can test his attitude. If he wants to play in the Development League, he is completely welcome.

In fact, for Shu Hao, Jiang Chao will not affect his career direction much. His attitude has always been no problem. Didn't the whole world see it when he played in the Warriors Development League at that time?

I didn't know if their team did it before. For a while, the forum trend was full of remarks that yellow bosses would definitely choose yellow players.

And he had sent Downey Jr. to test his idea of ​​naturalizing to the Chinese team before, which Shuhao completely rejected.

After all, Kyle Anderson is the only player like Li Kaier who eats with chopsticks and cooks dumplings with his Hakka brother.

So Jiang Chao will not force it, why Kyle Anderson is the natural choice of the Chinese team and the only one.

It is because Jiang Chao is also useful here. The Knicks also need such a tall organizer who can play power forward and small forward. If he can practice, he may be better than Drew's organization.

Later generations watched him play for the Spurs. When he was in possession of the ball, the ball seemed to stick to his hands.

"Sorry~"

Jeremy Lin posted on Weibo, but he didn't put any pressure on the Knicks. The NBA is a world where the weak can prey on the strong. Unless you prove yourself, no fans will violently attack you out of thin air.

Who said that Chinese owners must choose players of yellow race?

Moral hijacking is out of the question.

You can do it, you can prove it to me!

"invite to a meal!"

In the evening, it is the annual dinner session for rookies. In fact, the contract period and approximate salary for them have almost been determined.

George and Hayward toasted Jiang Chao respectfully. The 21-year-old man in front of him was several grades higher than them in terms of basketball literacy and business ability.

In addition to worship or worship.

Didn't you see what Hayward said in the group after drinking too much at night:

"Stop bragging about my good looks. I'm useless in front of the boss. From now on, I'll still rely on technology for a living."

Curry:

"I'm still in charge of the team's appearance! No one objects!"

Ibaka:

"What's the use of looking good? A man has to look at his 'true' skills."

Okur sent a few laughing emojis and @haywardandgeorge:

"Suggest you two never go to the bathroom with Ibaka?"

"Why?" George said dumbfounded.

"I'm afraid you will feel inferior."

……

The next day.

The Knicks management made another decision.

Hilton Armstrong will not renew his contract.

This was traded with Yao Ming at the time, and it also solved some of the urgent needs of the Knicks' forward defense.

Now that there are three rookies on the front line, the old Rockets naturally don't need it.

Hilton Armstrong has also become a completely free agent, and the Knicks have liberated 245 million salary space, almost a rookie.

This is a small test, obviously clearing the space.

During this period, Jiang Chao was looking for a school for Kyle Anderson and communicating with the Basketball Association about specific matters concerning naturalization. For example, one thing is that it is not mandatory for naturalized players to return to the national team for training.

There are also advertising contracts that are not mandatory to sign with the national team... Simply put, it is to make it easier for naturalized players, and if you don't come up, a lot of rules will be deepened.

Kyle Anderson also saw Jiang Chao's good intentions. If it weren't for Jiang Chao, he might have a headache for a long time.

But now he can learn knowledge with peace of mind.

There are many universities in New York, such as famous schools, Columbia University, Jiang Chao’s alma mater, and New York University are all in New York City.

But none of the above is a strong NCAA team, except St. John's University in New York, which is a famous NCAA school.

In addition, Fordham University, Manhattan College, and Wagner College also have basketball, but the results are very average.

There are few famous basketball colleges in New York, but there are quite a few famous basketball high schools, such as Lincoln High School, and many of the New York high school basketball teams went to famous basketball schools.

Therefore, Jiang Chao chose St. John's University in New York for Kyle Anderson for both basketball and cultural level considerations.

Why not choose Columbia University?

Because Jiang Chao himself has studied there for a year, he knows that it is difficult for Kyle Anderson to graduate at this level, and it is better to rely on basketball majors to score points.

In his previous life, Kyle Anderson actually went to college for a year before participating in the draft. For top players, IQ is as important as golf quotient, and Jiang Chao has not missed this point.

Wang Dachui asked Jiang Chao excitedly with the admission application form:

"Does this mean that I don't have to play in the CBA?"

"Who said you were going to play CBA?"

Jiang Chao spread his hands, and Kyle Anderson quickly stopped asking.

Sean Marks:

"Come to our office after completing the enrollment process, and give the rookie a contract."

"Follow orders!!"

Kyle Anderson and his agent are running fast, oh my god, the rookie contract is the home team contract, this is the rhythm that will not go to foreign leagues at all.

Enroll now!

The most important thing before getting big fish is to give rookie contracts. This must be calculated carefully, otherwise the super giant's maximum salary will be a little bit short, which may be the fuse of failure.

After all, the maximum salary is here, you can't give it, and the team can give you the rest.

The first to negotiate was the last halberd of Butland University's trident.

Hayward.

4+1, five-year rookie contract of 1370 million.

In the fifth year, the old rules can only be player options, increasing year by year, such as 236 million, 253 million, 271 million...

Hayward signed with almost no thought, a long-term contract, about the same money as Curry.

And his team knows better than him that Hayward's commercial value may be higher than Curry's. This combination of good looks and white attributes... Cough cough cough, no matter how bad it is, he can make money as the spokesperson of the North American server of the League of Legends.

Therefore, although he is less than Coeha, he is the 17th pick after all.

The price offered to George is actually exactly the same. This is the same as when the contract was given to Coeha last year. There is no such thing as a high pick and a low pick on our Knicks side.

Of course, only for the first round.

In fact, it is to find a reason to lower the price. It stands to reason that George's contract is slightly better.

But the Knicks still offered 4+1, a five-year contract of 1370 million. Whoever is stronger in the fifth year can jump out and renew a larger contract in advance.

But there is still a little bit of discomfort on George's side.

However, with George's direct consent, the agent didn't say much, which means that in the future, if Chaoshen Group cooperates, find George more, and George will become a high-quality idol.

"OK, the two first-round picks are done."

Sean Marks is very happy. The two first-round picks add up to less than 500 million in the first year, which doesn't take up much space. There is still a super huge space in the follow-up.

Jiang Chao's promise to the two was expected.
