Chapter 110
"Oh? Are you going to sign my CBA teammates?" Du Zhe was confused, feeling that the Warriors' uniform team seemed to be a little sick and rushed to the doctor.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing later. Let's get down to business first."

"I recently read the news and found two pretty good free agents, can we try to sign them?" Du Zhe said while handing over the pre-printed materials.

Today he recommended two players. Coincidentally, both of them are former Spurs players.

The first is "French Tower" Ian Mahinmi.

As the 2005th overall pick in 28, Mahinmi got off to a rough start in his career.

Since landing in the NBA in 2007, Mahinmi has been suffering from constant injuries and has rarely played in recent seasons. In the 08-09 season, he missed all games due to injuries.

Frequent injuries, coupled with a low ceiling, made the Spurs choose to give up the team option for the fourth year of his contract in November last year, and Mahinmi has been idle without a ball since then.

The reason why Du Zhe knew him was that in his previous life, Mahinmi soon became a member of the Mavericks team and followed Nuo Tianwang to complete the miraculous feat of winning the championship.

Although in the final finals, Mahinmi did not get many chances to play, but he still became acquainted with many fans through this championship journey.

He then played for the Pacers for another four years and ushered in the peak of his career.

And he also relied on his performance in the contract year and the sudden increase in the salary cap to successfully sign a four-year, 4 million contract with the Wizards.

However, after Mahinmi came to the Wizards, he played and stopped, and his overall performance was obviously not in line with his social status, which made the Wizards a veritable injustice and earned himself the nickname of "Ma Da Lie".

However, although Mahinmi with an annual salary of 1600 million is a scam, Mahinmi with a basic salary is definitely a high-quality rotation player.

And now Mahinmi, who is at home, can just sign with a basic salary, which is why Du Zhe recommended him.

As a full-size athletic big man, Mahinmi has rough skills but decent physicality.

On the defensive end, he can not only act as a human shield in interior matchups, but also has a certain ability to pull out to defend.

On the offensive end, although Mahinmi has almost no autonomous offensive ability, he can also provide teammates with decent pick-and-rolls.

And the Warriors currently focus on the outside, and inside players don't get too many offensive opportunities, so it's no big deal that Mahinmi has no offensive ability.

It can be said that Mahinmi, who earns a basic salary, is full of advantages. He has confrontation, speed, wide defensive coverage, and does not occupy the ball. He is simply perfect for the fast-paced Warriors.

And Du Zhe also knows that although Ma Xinmi is still not interested in anyone, as long as he is given a chance, he can still fulfill his strength as a qualified blue-collar worker.

Another player recommended by Du Zhe is the veteran Spurs-Michael Finley.

Due to the lack of opportunities to play in the Spurs this season, the 37-year-old veteran has taken the initiative to apply for a buyout to the team.

Out of respect for the veteran who played for the team for five seasons, the Spurs have also decided to agree to the veteran's request. Now there is only one official official statement left before Finley leaves the Spurs.

Finley also had the strength of an All-Star player in his prime, but at the age of 37, he obviously doesn't have much gas in the tank.

But now that the team is tight, Finley, as an experienced shooter, can still play a certain role in the team.

What's more, Du Zhe's recommendation of Finley is not entirely out of the consideration of strengthening the team's strength.

What he valued more was Finley's character and experience.

Whether in the Mavericks or the Spurs, Finley has always appeared in public as an old scalper.

Especially during the Mavericks period, when facing the joining of Nowitzki and Nash, Finley not only generously accepted these two young people who would inevitably compete for power in the future.

He also used a humble and kind attitude to help the two young people adapt to the new team and the new environment, perfectly helping them complete the transition from rookie to star.

Even with the rise of Nowitzki, Finley's data continued to decline, but he did not complain at all and still played every game conscientiously.

With such a veteran joining, it will be somewhat helpful to adjust the atmosphere in the locker room and strengthen the team's cohesion.

More importantly, Finley has extremely rich playoff experience.

In the past nine seasons, he has never missed the playoffs, and even won the championship with the Spurs in the 9-06 season.

Moreover, Finley is not simply playing soy sauce in the playoffs. Most of the time, he is the core or main force of the team.

Compared with the warriors who haven't played much in the playoffs, he can be said to be an experienced old driver.

After reading the materials, several members of the uniform team nodded unconsciously, feeling that the players Du Zhe recommended seemed to have some merit.

Although both of them are role players, at the end of the season, there are no big-name free agents on the market waiting for you to sign.

And if you think about it carefully, the two of them seem to fit well with the current Warriors.

Mahinmi can run and jump, has agility and athletic ability, and it shouldn't be difficult for him to fit into the Warriors' fast-paced style of play.

Although he has suffered frequent injuries in recent seasons, fortunately this young man is only 24 years old and may still be able to tap into some potential.

Although Finley is old, he still has a good shot and should be able to play some role.

Moreover, this veteran's rich experience will also be a valuable asset in the upcoming playoffs.

The key is that these two people are not expensive. They can be signed with a basic salary. It seems that they can be a gamble.

The member of the uniform team who had just communicated with Du Zhe suddenly felt that he had misunderstood him.

Thinking of this, he also put away his casual attitude just now, and said seriously: "Okay, we will discuss it with the general manager and the head coach immediately after we turn around. If it is appropriate, the team will make a move as soon as possible."

"By the way, Finley may be a bit popular after being bought out by the Spurs. You can tell our head coach that it is really impossible to let him play the emotional card." Before leaving, Du Zhe confessed again.

"Oh? Oh...Okay." After a moment of confusion, a few people from the uniform team agreed.

Finley turned out to be the favorite under the old Nelson...the two had worked together for a long time in Dallas.

Although several people knew about this relationship, if Du Zhe hadn't mentioned it, they wouldn't have been able to react for a while.

"Isn't this guy from Huaguo? Why is he so well-mannered?" Looking at Du Zhe's back, several people in the room couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The professionalism that Du Zhe showed just now really made them a little ashamed.

Several uniform staff were very suspicious that Du Zhe was a Spurs fan lurking in the Warriors.
