Chapter 820 Birth of a Super Knight

The 2014 draft ended successfully. The Spurs took Nikola Jokic with the 28th pick and Kyle Anderson with the 30th pick in this year's draft.

This result made Popovich very satisfied. Yes, everyone who should get it got it, so that's it.

Of course, he must first settle the European contract of the little fat guy named Jokic. Otherwise, the Spurs will be a bit tight inside next season. The only big and tall guys are Duncan and Whiteside who are one year older. , Barnes and the selected Anderson can also play at the 4th position, but the lack of height is unavoidable, which puts Whiteside under a lot of pressure.

Therefore, Jokic must appear in the Spurs' lineup next season, otherwise he will have to sign an insider, which is too bad.

Because of the implementation of the fourth-year option in Leonard's rookie contract, Leonard does not need to renew his contract this summer, and waits for the renewal next year. Popovich is now only short of giving Whiteside a reasonable contract up.

To be reasonable, the Spurs only used a two-year contract of more than 200 million to get him out of the NBDL. Compared with his later performance, it is indeed a bit low.

But there is no way. After all, he was caught by someone from NBDL. It is very good to be able to give a two-year guaranteed contract in one breath. Looking at others, it is at most a ten-day short contract or a non-guaranteed contract. .

Moreover, who would have thought that the guy who can only block shots without even averaging double figures in the NBDL can now play well in the NBA, averaging 15+11+3 (blocks) per game, allowing Whiteside Among the active centers, they have reached the top ten!
Moreover, beside Qin Yan and others, this is not Whiteside's limit. He can do better. After Duncan retires, Whiteside will be the Optimus Prime of San Antonio's inside line!

Well, of course, Jokic will be the same in the future, but now the little white fat man is just a rookie.

Popovich prepared a 4-year long contract for Whiteside, 4 million U.S. dollars in 6000 years. The annual salary is not low, 1500 million U.S. dollars a year. That's the price.

However, in the current league where prices are generally inflated, to be honest, Popovich is not [-]% sure that Whiteside is willing to accept.

After all, there are not no teams that offer him a better price. Let alone the Mavericks next door who are about to poach the wall, Cuban directly smashed a five-year 5 million contract!

It's not that the current Spurs can't afford this price, the Spurs are not short of money now, but in Popovich's eyes, Whiteside can't reach that price, so he only signed a four-year contract. After that, if Whiteside can be better, then there will definitely be a bigger contract waiting for him.

Whiteside, who was born in 89, is only 25 years old now. Four years later, he will be 4 years old. According to the center growth theory, the age group of 29-28 is the most golden age for a center, because at this time, the center's experience, skills , The meaning has been tempered to the peak, far beyond the comparison of those young centers who can only rely on their bodies.

The most typical is Olajuwon, the No. 84 pick in 10. He won the championship only after 94 years in the industry. It was also his outstanding performance in 95 and [-] that officially established his position as the top four centers.

Therefore, as long as Whiteside is willing to work hard, it will not be a dream for the Spurs in the future, and getting more money is not a problem.

And just after the Spurs officially announced the signing of Whiteside, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had attracted attention early because of James' statement, finally did it!
This move is like shaking the world and weeping ghosts and gods!
Even Qin Yan, who knew the general situation, was frightened.

The action of the knight is much earlier than in the original history!

First of all, in order to find a suitable helper for James, the Cavaliers dismantled their own No. 15 combination, yes, they dismantled the No. [-] combination, and just selected the new No. In addition to the previous year's parallel import champion Ben Nate, there is also a [-]-year draft pick.

The Cavaliers directly took out these three things and replaced the super power forward in the West-Kevin Love from the Timberwolves in the West!

Although Kevin Love's performance in leading the team is not good, but in the position of power forward, he is really strong, his shooting range extends to the three-point line, and his rebounding skills are first-rate. Being able to hang and beat a bunch of jumping men is enough to show Love's talent and strength.

What's more, as of 2014, he is the only person in the new century who can get 30+30!

James lost to the Spurs for two consecutive years, where did he lose?It's not the outside line. He can draw with Qin Yan with his own shots from the outside line. The most important reason for his loss is that the inside line is much worse than the Spurs.

The entire Heat team, only Bosh is a big man. After Bosh's style of play is still soft, the team basically has no rebounds and frame protection. The perimeter and win the game, but the finals, I'm sorry, those who can reach the finals are not weak, your internal and external imbalance is like limping a leg, what else do you want?It would be nice to win a championship in 12.

Therefore, this time the Cavaliers directly won Love, took out two No. [-] picks and a draft pick, which is to give James an awesome inside partner. Let's see who dares to say that James' team is weak inside!
This time it's not over, and I don't know if they have made up their minds on the inside line. The Cavaliers uniform team actually persuaded Monroe of the Pistons to join him. Monroe directly jumped out of his contract and rejected the renewal of the Pistons. As a free agent, join the Cavaliers!

I rely on!Does this make people play?
Who is Monroe, and he is also the hopeful star of the young generation of centers. Although he is not good at defense, he is very stable in offense, and he is tall and heavy, and his rebounding is not bad.

However, the Cavaliers uniform team is actually a bit regretful. They originally wanted Drummond, who was the same age as Qin Yan, this professional rebounder, but unfortunately he didn't want to, so they had to settle for second best to recruit Monroe.

Of course, this kind of thing will not depend on suing Monroe.

Tsk tsk, it’s incredible. In this way, the Cavaliers’ starting lineup next season is almost Love+Monroe. Know if the reinforcement is over, crap, are the Cavaliers ready to be invincible in the East!

For a while, the East was full of grief, and it was over. It seemed that next season, they had to prepare to run with the Cavaliers.
