NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

One is an FMVP, and the other is two FMVPs, but they are almost the same.

Harden's personal ability is more comprehensive, and his talent and offense and defense are better.

Curry's words have stronger projection and better mental attributes.

But without exception, both of them have reached the level of star players!
The current salary before the 14 draft is as follows:
Jimmy Butler: The annual salary is 350 million this year, 5 million in 1800 years.

Danny Green: 1333 million, 3 million in 4000 years

Beverly: 1000 million, 3 million in 3000 years.

Ibaka: 1200 million, 3 million in 3600 years

George: 280 million

Hayward: 280 million

Kyle Anderson: 160 million

Yi Jianlian, 1000 million, 1 year left. (Middle)

Howard: 2000 million (3-year sub-maximum contract)

Rudy Gobert: 140 million, 5 million in 800 years.

Dior: 800 million, 3 million in 2300 years.

Klay Thompson: 263 million. (4 million in 1000 years.)
Chasing Dream Green: 200 million, 5 million in 1000 years. (two-way contract)
Barnes: 340 million, 5 million in five years.

It is now 9346 million.

This year's salary cap is 1 million.

The luxury tax line is 1 million.

So no matter who pays the maximum salary, the Knicks must be over the salary cap.

Because there are too many middle-level contracts worth tens of millions.

No team has so many tens of millions of contracts like the Knicks. Generally, 1 maximum salary and 2 tens of millions of annual salary are the most, and the rest are leftovers.

For example, the Big Three of the Cavaliers still have to eat Irving's bonus now.

Jiang Chao thought for a while:
"9300 million, excluding two two-way and one middle-class bird rights, it is about 8000 million?"

Max:
"That's right, if you want to draft rookies this year, the two rookies will be another 500 million."

"The distance from the luxury tax line is 4000 million, and it must be exceeded."

"Then sign a long one, it's okay if it's a little longer."

Jiang Chao's decision was very decisive, and he gave a super big contract for the starting backcourt who jointly won 4 championships at a historical level.

When he made a decision, no one dared to say anything. On the contrary, everyone was very happy. The luxury tax was at most tens of millions, but what was left was Coeha and his team! ! ! !
Curry and Harden were called into the office.

Jiang Chao has no preference for the two of them, and renewed his contract with a super maximum salary of 4 million in 1.2 years! !

It directly made Curry Harden cry with joy.

"Boss, are you serious?"

"Seriously, but less for the first year and more every year."

Jiang Chao also made it clear to them and their agents that it would be 2300 million in the first year, and it would increase gradually, anyway, 4 million in 1.2 years.

Because only he knew that the 3000 million contract was all over the place, and Lillard, including Randall, could get it, let alone a 2 million baguette like Gobert. The contract for the next seven or eight years is not exaggerated.

So incrementing is the best option.

"No problem, thanks for appreciating us!"

"Man, we've been working together for a few years? How did you learn such polite words?" Jiang Chao laughed a little annoyed, and Harden and Curry immediately returned to their normal giggles and rubbed Jiang Chao's legs and shoulders.

This is how normal brothers treat the gold master's papa! !

They are all young people, who doesn't love money, it is a lie to say that they don't like the maximum salary, it is false to say that the agent wants the maximum salary, and the fans want the maximum salary.

Everyone loves fame and wealth. When Jiang Chao gave them the super contract that their strength should have, the two embraced for a century.

There was a bit of a cold war a few days ago, because the netizens led the two to compare who is stronger, and there were a lot of topics about who was more worthy of the maximum salary.

After all, now the Knicks actually feel like they only need an outside core, but what is in short supply is the inside.

In the eyes of those who know the ball, and even Curry Harden himself, the Knicks may have to use one of them to sign first and then exchange for a useful star center, so that the salary will still be under the salary cap.

How did you think that Jiang Chao would do it in one step, regardless of whether it would exceed the luxury tax or not, he just gave him a maximum salary! ! !

This works!
mad! !

But the forum is full of praise, and the circle is full of scolding.

Let's show love and show money! !
Do you know that your Chaoshen Group has made a lot of money in the past few years?
In the past few years, Chaoshen Group has made the most money from the logistics industry chain jointly built with Taobao and JD. The entire logistics base in China is connected together like stars, so why is Musk working on the star chain?

Jiang Chao is also doing it, but what he is doing is doing business for the people, and he is really serving the people. The express delivery basically arrives in the whole country within 2 days, and how many employment problems have been solved!

Now they are rushing to be employees of Super God Logistics. Although it is boring, it is really profitable!
And with Coeha's maximum salary extension, and Matthews went to the Clippers to get a big contract, the Knicks removed two two-way contracts and still had three big roster spaces.

There are actually quite a lot of signings this year.

There are 30 picks in the first round and 30 picks at the end of the second round.

But there is also the 14 Raptors second-round pick traded by Turk Drew. The Raptors got the 12th pick in the second round, which is wonderful enough.

So the Knicks can pick three rookies.

"Can the Knicks' rookies stand up? This Gobert is obviously not good, and he is far behind Dayao and Lao Huo."

"I was last selected in the first round last year, what kind of bike do I want?"

"I hope the Knicks pick whatever they want, and feel like they're still a championship team after re-signing Coeha!"

"I think Yi Jianlian may be leaving. The CBA has been inviting him to get fat. Guangdong has not had a championship for several years."

"Whatever, I only care about this year's Lakers draft, the lottery to choose Kobe's successor!"

"The Lakers didn't do badly last year. The boss only announced his retirement this year. If they do badly, they will win the No. [-] pick next year."

However, there are indeed many good seedlings this year. After Jiang Chao got the scouting report, he looked at all "good things", so he focused on a wave this year.

Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Marcus Smart, Julius Randle, Aaron Gordon, T.J. Warren, Noah Vonleh, Joel Emby De and Tyler Ennis, LaVine...

Including Australia's Dante Exum and soon-to-be college graduate Doug McDermott.

What Hood, Ingles, Joe Harris, Capela, Powell, Jordan Clarkson...

Then the familiar Nikola Jokic!

It’s no wonder that Kyle Anderson in his previous life was only 30 in the first round of this draft, because there are too many talents in the second round, and Powell and Jordan Clarkson can only be in the second round!
In Jiang Chao's view, Antetokounmpo, who was the 15th pick last year, can only go to the second round this year, because many players' skills and tactics are mature.

If he travels to 2013-14 this year and spends more time in draft picks, he will definitely be able to form a set of Galaxy Battleships.

Brother Antetokounmpo + Jokic, it is really easy to get this basic lineup.

However, Jiang Chao doesn't really need Antetokounmpo right now, and Antetokounmpo's development will take some time. Now the Knicks' front line is obviously enough, so they can't give Antetokounmpo so much time.

In Jiang Chao's view, if he wins six consecutive championships at most, he is really a shopkeeper. Now he has won four consecutive championships in history, and it is said that he is the boss of Jordan.

If you win the championship after six consecutive championships, to be honest, the NBA will be boring and impossible to play. Therefore, it is not impossible to focus on Antetokounmpo last year, but it is very likely that the Knicks in the next decade will also be very strong.

Too strong is also a kind of trouble.

At the Barclays Center, Jiang Chao finally appeared at the draft after 2 years.

Because this year is quite special, there are too many excellent people, let's also look at Wiggins' unfathomable heights.

With the 30th overall pick in the first round, the Knicks chose Spencer Dinwiddie, a guard who was originally predicted to be a second-round pick, and will indeed be a second-round pick in later generations.

Here's Downey Jr.'s draft report:

Spencer Dinwiddie had a chance to be a first-round pick, but a torn ACL before entering the draft clouded his prospects; Dinwiddie's game is mature and steady, with an excellent assist-to-turnover ratio.

The DVD in Jiang Chao’s eyes is like this:

"Spencer Dinwiddie has the size and weight to be an advantage at the point guard position, has the ability to attack the line, can score around the basket, can make free throws and has a good free throw feel, has excellent pick-and-roll awareness, handles the ball in transition offense powerful.

The downside is that the speed is not fast enough and strength needs to be increased, and knee injuries are a hidden danger in his career. "

In short, he is also a dual guard with the ball, in case someone gets injured in Curry Harden or something, and someone will be on the bench.

Beverly and Danny Green are too functional, and the rest are strikers. Too many strikers are good, but there must be point guards. George, Hayward Butler, and the others can't always control the ball.

Then with the 14th pick in the second round, the Knicks successfully selected center Nikola Jokic from Serbia.

This was sprayed half to death by Chinese netizens.

The Raptors signed by Turk Drew for the Knicks 2 years ago, just changed to this big fat man with no athletic ability? ? ?

Because Jokic was beaten by Zhou Qi in the International Youth Championship, Zhou Qi, don't you want this big fat with shortcomings? ? ? ?

Mr. Pu and the others were all confused, why did you choose him? ?

Jokic is the only man in this draft who doesn't have a muscle all over his body, but Jiang Chao even went to the backstage to invite him and Dinwiddie to drink Coke. Treatment.

"Oh, can I really drink it!" Fatty Yue's eyes were straightened, he is still such a clear and innocent boy now, and his two older brothers standing beside him are like minions in front of Jiang Chao.

"Yes, let's drink."

Jiang Chao smiled and drank first, and Jokic and the DVD were also turned on. The two of them toasted and shook hands with the passing boss who had won 2 consecutive championships. Their faces were full of admiration and anticipation for the future.

For them, being chosen by Jiang Chao is an honor!

It doesn't matter what your level is. If you have the history of being selected by Jiang Chao in the NBA draft, you will have food in this life, because they are Jiang Chao who chose a man.

Of course, the pressure must be greater, which means that every moment is under the spotlight from now on, especially Jokic, who directly stated that he will lose weight.

"It's enough to train well, and you don't need to lose weight deliberately."

Jiang Chao didn't say much, because in his opinion, Teacher Yue is the core insider of the Knicks who will replace Master Huo in the future.

And dating a teacher has never been a man who relies on muscles.

Relying on the brain and big fat!

At that time, the combination of appointment teacher + Gobert will be enough.

Although this combination did not win the championship in later generations, Jiang Chao of the Knicks in the later period didn't want to win the championship.

The Knicks are already pretty enough, there is nothing wrong with being quiet for a while and then erupting, and the cake will be eaten by others, right?

Watching Jokic call DVD brother is like, think about it, it seems that Dinwiddie has no achievements in later generations, but Jokic has a great reputation as a teacher.

Jiang Chao mainly wants him to be good, in order to use him as the team's inside core and lubricant! !If Dior plays for another 1-2 years, he will retire. At that time, the inside line will all depend on the teacher's hand.

Before Jiang Chao crossed, Jokic had been elected as the regular season MVP for the 2021-2022 season.

This is the second consecutive year he was elected, and the 12th player in history to do so.

When Embiid came back before, the official website posted that Embiid was the MVP, but the result was regrettable. Embiid won the scoring champion but missed this award, and may not even be able to win it for a while.

But in any case, Jokic deserves his name. He still supported the team and made it to the playoffs even though the other two core Nuggets players were reimbursed for the season. Get the MVP award.

In the playoffs, although the Nuggets were swept by the Warriors 4-1, Jokic averaged 31 points, 13.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game in the face of tight defense. He shot 57.5% from the field and was very versatile. Also demonstrated his super dominance in the interior.

In 2023, Teacher Yue is even more likely to win the MVP again, and netizens have already begun to hack.

But now Jiang Chao chose him in 2014 not because he is an MVP, but because he can play.

The Knicks just need guys who "can" play.

In fact, Jokic is very inspirational. He is the only second-round pick among players who have won the MVP in history, let alone a superstar with two consecutive MVPs.

In the past, there were many outstanding European players. For example, Manu Ginobili was also at the end of the second round, Parker's pick was not high, and Antetokounmpo was only the 15th pick.

This is because there are two risks in choosing European players.

First, the leagues they play in Europe are different from the NBA in terms of scale and rules. Coupled with cultural differences, many European players are not acclimatized after coming to the NBA and cannot adapt.

The more famous one is the "European Kobe" who was selected by the Rockets - Spanoulis, who only played for one year before quitting the NBA and returning to Europe.

And don't look at the Spurs and Mavericks international players, they also tried and made mistakes with many players.

Second, European players may not come to play at all, because they have stable team status in their local leagues, and their salaries are higher than the minimum salary players in the NBA, plus they are close to home.

Therefore, there are many international players in history who have never been to the NBA from the beginning to the end even though they were selected. Isn’t this the case with Wang Zhelin in China in his previous life?

It has been 6 years since he was selected by the Grizzlies, and he has no intention of challenging the NBA at all.

But this life has averaged 6+6 per game in the Grizzlies, and he has the inner taste of a genius high school student at McDonald's.

Jokic's situation is even more special. When the scouts noticed him, it can be said that he has no advantage at all. The players are all perfect muscles, but Jokic is chubby. His former coach said he Can drink 2 liters of coke a day.

But Jokic also showed his own unique side, he can read the game and control the rhythm of the game.

So although he doesn't have a particularly good talent, he won't lose the draft. Both the Spurs and the Lone Ranger are going to be selected, but Jiang Chao uses the Raptors to pick him up.

The choice of the Nuggets in the previous life was also because the league that Jokic played for was only an unknown minor league. No matter how good the statistics and performance were, they would not be recognized. A try mentality.

After Jokic was selected, he was allowed to continue to practice for a year, and he lost his weight before officially going to the NBA.

After the Nuggets' main center Nurkic was injured, Jokic got a chance by chance and quickly became the starter, and was established by the Nuggets as the new core.

新秀年场均10+7+2.4，第二年就涨到了16.7分9.8篮板4.9助攻。

For 7 years, Jokic's progress can be seen every year. He is also the first center player to win the MVP after O'Neal. The media even said that he can end the small ball era and regain the glory of the inside.

Jiang Chao took a group photo with the excited two. After Jokic was selected, he was completely relieved. Teacher Yue is not the kind of ruthless guy who will make trouble off the court. If you can pass the ball, the Knicks' record will not be bad.

Rockets fans:

"The big devil who abused him back then is waiting for you in the Rockets!! See you in the summer league!"

Knicks fans:
"Can your big devil play in the preseason?? A rookie who has no time at all!"

"You can tell by the looks that there is a gap in IQ."

The Knicks selected Ding Yanyuhang with the 60th pick, Ding Shen! !

This time the Knicks themselves did not sign the contract, but gave it to the Lone Ranger in the form of signing first and then exchanging + cash compensation. The Lone Ranger gave Xiaoding a two-way contract of 3 million for 500 years.

Everything for the Chinese players is developing in a good direction. Jiang Chao helped him achieve the dream that Xiao Ding had not fulfilled in his previous life! ! !
Since then, China has Yi Jianlian, Li Kaier, Wang Zhelin, Zhou Qi, Ding Yanyuhang...five players playing in the NBA!Just the rhythm of a set of starters! ! !

"The godfather of the Chinese men's basketball team is showing off every year!!"

"This year's Super God Cup is also good, I think it is better than the NBA,"

"Just kidding, super BA!! Now the top 100 super BA nationals are all hot, they all represent a city, Northwest wolf, South China tiger, etc., talented high school students are showing their heads one by one!!!"

"The grand event in "Slam Dunk" did not appear in Neon, but appeared in Tianchao, thanks to the Super God Cup, thanks to Jiang Chao!!"

"I really love Knicks and Jiang Chao so much, I will always support him!"

"Why don't you say that he is the godfather of contemporary basketball? He is so discerning!!"
