You'd better wrap me

Chapter 194 I just want to win consecutive championships
During the conversation, Olshey briefly calculated the current salary space of the Clippers for Su Yang.

"Based on media forecast calculations and previous notifications, the league's salary cap for next season should be $4950 million.

In our current lineup, next season Grant Hill is 1569 million, Maggette is 700 million, you are 450 million, Iguodala is 210 million, Kaman is 275 million, plus Wilkins and Varejao With Barnes and others, and in the case of Milicic being traded from the Pistons, the total is about 3800 million, and Payton has expressed his desire to stay before.

If Payton is kept, according to the regulations, the basic salary of at least one million US dollars, then the total salary will be 3900 million.

While Bobby Simmons previously quoted a starting salary of $800 million and hoped to sign a five-year long-term contract, Marko Jaric previously quoted a starting salary of $550 million, but only a four-year contract is required, but Assure.

In terms of salary space, we can't renew two people at the same time. We can choose one, or find a way to sign first and then change, because we have the bird rights of both of them and can renew above the salary cap, and the $1350 million space, You can change to superstar.

What do you think? "

Su Yang came back to his senses upon hearing this.

Do you have any ideas? Bobby Simmons and Marko Jaric are the kind of players who are very fragrant in the middle class, and it is wasteful to exceed the middle class. It is a bit similar to Bonzi Wells. He has played brilliantly in the playoffs. However, the output cannot be continuously stabilized.

Wilkins with a basic salary can replace Bobby Simmons, and Jaric is also dispensable.

The key is to renew the two-person, four-year and five-year contracts, which will result in locked salary space and low cost performance.

After thinking about it, Su Yang finally understood why players had better not participate in the transaction, because it was easy to be influenced by personal feelings.A few days ago, I was playing with Bobby Simmons to win the finals, and now I have to decide whether to renew his contract.

Don't renew the contract, it hurts a little.

Renew the contract, it hurts the future a bit.

He didn't think much about it, and said directly: "Are there any superstars who may be traded or freed this offseason? I hope to strengthen a player with a more accurate three-pointer at the point guard position, which will greatly help our offensive system. big."

After thinking about it for a while, I really didn't think of a swingman with high quality and low price, but it is a good idea to sign first and then switch to a superstar.

Taking advantage of the bonus period of rookie contracts with Iguodala and others, sign superstars if they can, and strive to win more championships before the formation of the Boston Celtics Big Three, Lakers Kobe Gasol, etc. Even a three-peat champion.

When the 07-08 season is over and the rookie contracts of myself and Iguodala and others are over, I will not be able to sign more superstars.

"There are three tiers of free agency this offseason.

The first gear is O'Neal, Ray Allen, and Michael Reid, but they have a high probability of renewing their contracts with their respective teams.

The second tier is Joe Johnson, Tyson Chandler, Antoine Walker, Eddie Curry and other players. With our current lineup, there is no shortage of center forwards and power forwards, and small forwards are not bad. Only Joe Johnson It is more appropriate, but the Suns obviously have no shortage of swingmen, and the probability of us trading with them is very small. Others include Lagabel, Mobley, Gerald Wallace..."

Hearing Olshey's words, Su Yang felt a headache.

There is no point guard who is good at three-pointers, and there are no combo guards. It can only be said that three-pointers are not popular in this era.

"As for the third tier, we have high-quality veterans with basic salaries such as Robert Horry and Mutombo. We don't need them." Olshey paused for a moment, and then said: "My personal idea is to attack Ray Allen, their head coach McMillan. Already left, the Supersonic's operating conditions are very poor, the team is very likely to enter the rebuilding, as long as the speeding record is unfavorable in the middle of the season, start!

You can also start now. "

Su Yang was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Olshey is quite thoughtful. The Supersonics are really bad. Since they were eliminated by the Spurs, they haven’t actively operated. They didn’t even find a head coach. Obviously they don’t believe that they can go further next season. , this year's second round belongs to good luck.

Thinking about it carefully, there is really a possibility of hitting Ray Allen in the middle of the season. If he succeeds, it will directly change the situation.

The only worry is that Ray Allen must be pursuing a five-year long-term contract. If he gets a contract with the team, after those three years, he will have to choose among Iguodala, Milicic, and Varejao. Under the circumstances that the contract has ended.

Vaguely, Su Yang came up with ghostly thoughts: After his rookie contract ended, he signed with the minimum salary?
Anyway, I have money!

Card BUG!

Without thinking too much, Su Yang said, "Then for a bigger plan, let Simmons get a big contract."

Maybe Simmons just wants to leave, so making such an offer, the twisted melon is not sweet, it is better to bless decently, and if the Supersonics choose to trade Ray Allen, they must enter the reconstruction and will not ask for a five-year contract tasteless players.

"Then how did Marko Jaric decide?"

Olshey went on to say: "I have contacted the general manager of the Timberwolves before, and they are willing to send Kassel and a future first-rounder to exchange with us. They also want to enter the reconstruction, but their willingness is not so firm. "

Su Yang shook his head again and again: "We don't need to get Cassel, his functions overlap with Payton, we just keep Payton, as for Jaric's contract, let's see if we can sign it first and then replace it with a young point guard, If not, just let it go.

Anyway, if we pursue Ray Allen, we also need to make room, and we can also reserve nearly 1000 million space to wait slowly, whether it is in the off-season or in the middle of the season, as long as there are no bad people, we can maintain the flexibility of salary space most. "

Olshey nodded in understanding.

Suddenly he said: "How about Larry Hughes? I forgot about him just now. He performed very well this season. He was selected to the best defensive team. He averaged 22 points per game. The ability is not bad."

"Not good!"

Su Yang shook his head and denied, "We don't need a player who holds a lot of balls to score high points. I watched the video before, and his shooting percentage was only 43%. In the playoffs, his shooting percentage was even as low as 37%, and most of his defenses were poor. Gambling steals."

The key is relatively fragile and expensive, leave it to LeBron.

"Okay! That is to let go of Bobby Simmons and Marko Jaric, maintain the flexibility of salary space, and strive to attack Ray Allen in the free market, and plan B is to try to use Marko Jaric, sign first and then trade. A young point guard with three points.

The expansion of plan B, I have decided to use the space left by Bobby Simmons to sign players such as Lagabel or Michael Finley, who is rumored to be bought out, to reinforce the swingman, and you will be more of a point guard. ball guard.

what do you think? "

Su Yang thinks about it carefully. If he fails to attack Ray Allen, then Bell and others are indeed the first choice. They can prevent the injuries of Maggette and Hill. They have both defense and three-pointers. From the perspective of salary years, it is even cost-effective. More than Ray Allen.

"I think it's great!"

Free market-related plans are determined.

If all goes well, the Clippers lineup will be stronger.

If all goes wrong, the Clippers lineup will be GG.

After chatting and spanking for a while, the topic turned to the upcoming draft. Su Yang directly arranged for him. Except for Brandon Bass, who has already confirmed his selection, among the potential draft picks, Azubuike, Hayes, and Alan Anderson can be recruited. People play Summer League.

After chatting and leaving the office, I practiced shooting for a while. I didn't practice for six days. I was obviously a little handy. I failed five consecutive beat Johnny challenges and didn't complete until the sixth time. I silently lamented that I really didn't practice my hand for three days.

After a while, Wilkins arrived, practiced together, and chatted about plans for the off-season.

"I'm going to participate in the summer league. I need more actual combat, and then work hard to improve the three-pointer to better adapt to the team's tactics!" Wilkins was full of pride in his words.Su Yang thought of a way to give Wilkins more chances to perform.

After practicing for a while, Matt Barnes arrived, saying that he was driving the Lamborghini presented by Su Yang, and also took the initiative to practice three-pointers, and also wanted to better adapt to the team's tactics, which made Su Yang feel that he had to give The two of you need to pay more.

During the chat, Barnes invited Su Yang to play in the Drew League, saying that there are still many stars playing there in the off-season.

Su Yang is not interested, but he agrees. After all, the team is socializing, and they come and go as if they were giving gifts.

Instead, I rushed to the company and chatted with Elgin Baylor about the signing of the BIG3 league. The main off-season is coming, and a large number of players will be retired. For example, teammate Kenny Anderson can’t get a new contract and needs to support his family. fight.

After chatting with Baylor, I chatted with Old Hicks again, talking about the summer trip of the Streetball League to China, and urged Old Hicks to restrain the players who went to participate, and not to violate laws and regulations, causing the Streetball League to become a A case of negative publicity.

I was busy for a while, and in my spare time, I discussed with Nike the shooting plan of the new promotional film, as well as PepsiCo and Lamborghini and other brands' championship series promotional films.

In terms of YouTube data, Google’s crackdown continues, but the impact has been minimized. The championship has brought huge traffic, and the number of new users has skyrocketed within six days.Su Yang had an idea, and sent a video suggesting that Microsoft should also do search, and that Google should not be the only one, otherwise Microsoft will lose a lot of data support in the future mobile era, and Microsoft has the best search portal.

As long as there is a button on the WINDOWS taskbar, users can search without opening the webpage.

It is a function developed by Microsoft itself, but it was released more than ten years in advance, and the function is a little simpler.

The video was released at noon, and in the evening, I received a call from Microsoft's top management, inviting Su Yang to serve as a special consultant, and he agreed decisively.

Early the next morning, I got up and received a call from Calvin, saying that Google's search restrictions on YouTube seemed to have been lifted.

Su Yang laughed out loud on the spot, thinking that it is better to drive tigers and wolves away, and only need to get involved with real estate and other big industrialists represented by Chuangpu. Only Nike and Pepsi are still not enough, and the next step is to find a way to do it Point Netflix and Disney stock.

But that is still not enough insurance, it is best to marry the daughter of a large group, Ivanka is definitely the perfect choice.

It's a pity that I became famous early.

The three of Irene can't be left behind.

I rushed to the training base at nine o'clock to visit the trial training, mainly to determine what to do if Brandon Bass was intercepted.

Su Yang gave CJ Miles as a candidate. If David Lee falls, he can also choose. After all, some websites predict that David Lee will be around 33rd. In the hands of the Magic, they already have Howard as a power forward, maybe it is really possible to choose a non-power forward player, and then they have a chance to grab it.

But even if David Lee is snatched, he will sit on the bench for two years first, and the playing time will definitely be given priority to Varejao and others.

After the trial training, go into Olshey's office.

"Yesterday afternoon, I had contact with Ray Allen's agent. Their team intends to join the Clippers, but they are more worried about getting a reputation for hugging their thighs. I hope to let the rumors out first and see the reactions of the media, fans and players. Say it again."

Su Yang nodded: "That's understandable, let's try to cooperate with them..." After all, Ray Allen is only 30 years old at the moment, and it is just in between. The Spurs regretted losing six games, but it's not that they can't fight.

If he joined the Clippers directly on a five-year contract, it would be easy for the public to ridicule him as spineless, not like Malone.Cooperating with the routine is also very simple, just accept an interview with reporters and talk about Ray Allen's rumors, and the Clippers will not have any losses.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, Su Yang accepted a special interview with "Time Magazine". When he learned that he might be selected as the Person of the Year, he just responded lightly and said interesting, thinking that I was once selected as the Person of the Year that moved China, so that's what Time Magazine should do.

Instead, he talked about the experience of studying abroad in Santa Monica High School from the first year of high school, the short one-year championship experience of the University of Southern California, the crazy championship experience in the first year of the NBA, and the relationship between Chinese and American cultures. Different, and finally talked about the creation of Youtube, rumors of discord with Google, serving as a senior consultant for several companies, and investing in emerging companies such as Facebook and Amazon.

He also talked about whether to consider becoming an American citizen in the future, how to view the relationship between China and the United States in the next ten years, and so on.

The interview lasted for a full four hours. Su Yang finally concluded: when the guests come, they have fine wine, and when the wolves come, they have shotguns.

Early the next morning, ESPN officially broke the news that Ray Allen might choose to sign with the Clippers after the free market opens.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion on major basketball forums.

Some fans think that Ray Allen's behavior is to abandon the Supersonics fans and Lewis who fought side by side with them.

There are also fans who think that the citizens of Seattle don’t like to watch the NBA at all. The Supersonics cannot make ends meet under the management of the Starbucks Group. There are more and more rumors of a sale. The contract has the right to choose, and you can control your career. It is not a shame to go to the Clippers, it is nothing more than being the second child.

Among the various discussions, there are [-]-[-] splits between support and opposition.

Su Yang continued to communicate with Olshey, and learned that the Pistons had agreed in principle to use Wilcox to trade Milicic, but the current offer is asking for a second-round pick, probably because they want to look better, after all, it is 03 Second place of the year.

"For them, our second round next year will be around 60th, just keep the second round we got from the Bobcats"

Not long after hanging up the phone, Olshey called and said that the Pistons had agreed to send Milicic to the Clippers.

Su Yang clenched his fist excitedly, and then saw ESPN broadcast that Garnett was close to joining the Los Angeles Lakers.
