"Why?" Stephen wanted to say surprise in his heart, but he was not surprised at all. Wilcox is not the kind of player who enters the late stage of his career. He doesn't care about statistics or the status of the team. There are pursuits.The fastest updated novel[ ]

This pursuit is not only a career pursuit, but also a salary pursuit. Without tactical status, data cannot be guaranteed, and without data, there is no big contract. The level of data and the size of the contract are always proportional.

Team players are certainly more popular with coaches, but their achievements are hard to say, and generally speaking, the general manager will not give a team player a contract above the middle class. For most teams, both the general manager and the head coach Not alone.

Those who can enter the league to play are at least outstanding in a certain environment or in a certain area, and such a person is rarely willing to be an unknown person who only wants to pay without asking for anything in return. No one is so noble. When five people are playing on the court, someone has to make sacrifices, but you can't let people sacrifice all the time.

Wilcox is in such a situation now that although he is a starter, he has the lowest tactical status among the starters, has the least number of tasks, and most of the tasks are what block people , screens, slots and the like.

No data, no direct contribution, for a player who has basically been regarded as a data year, such an encounter is naturally unacceptable. Stephen understands Wilcox's divorce, but he does not agree.

Now that the trade deadline has passed, the team can no longer trade, and in the original trade plan, there was a trade involving Wilcox. After all, his strength is not bad, and his salary is reasonable. It is also one of the few players in the Sonics who can be traded.

Players like Stephen and Durant who have been included in the team's long-term plan are naturally impossible to put on the trading market. Coupard's nature is somewhat similar to the two of them. He is young, has potential, and is of good quality and low price. Now It's hard to find a good center forward, and with his relationship with Stephen, naturally he won't be traded out. 【new】

However, there are some players who want to be traded and no one wants them, such as Robert Swift, Delonte West, Szczerbiak, etc., who usually do not perform well, so naturally they cannot be sold for a high price, and they cannot be traded. Come good players, change draft picks or something, and the Sonics don't lack this.

On the other hand, there are some players whose trading value is not great, and they still have a certain ability. Like Nick Collinson, they can be kept, and they can be shot if they are worth exchanging. But he is a rare player in the team. Just a player on the Sonics, this is considered a representative figure of the team, so the team didn't even think about him.

In this way, there are only a few players who have a certain transaction value and can also be put on the shelves. Needless to say, Robert Horry, and he and Kurt Thomas are both veterans that the team relies on now. Except for one of Ridnour and Watson, only Wilkins and Wilcox can be traded for more valuable players.

After putting a few of them on the shelves, the reactions were different. Most players like Wilkins are not lacking. The position of swingman is full of strong players, and even the free market is full of manpower. Coupled with Wilkins' undrafted background, this makes him a bit underwhelming. Although he has performed well in the recent period, he is still unattractive.

Ridnor and Watson didn't react very well either. Both of them lack height and confrontation ability, and their ability to attack autonomously is not too strong. There was no performance at all. Obviously, the Sonics had the ball in Stephen's hands, and they just dribbled the ball across half court. [ ]

Wilcox is different. Nearly one-third of the teams in the league have sent inquiries to the Sonics, but most of the teams' bargaining chips can't satisfy Presti. It is not necessary for the Sonics, so naturally they can pick and choose.

But for most teams, Wilcox's ability is not worth the big money. He is an instant player and has no potential. Nothing grows anymore.

And the contract is not very high quality and cheap. The annual salary of more than 600 million is the price of a main player, and his contract only has two seasons left, and there is a player option in the middle. Sometimes, the contract is more expensive. The shorter the better, the team whose salary exceeds the luxury tax incentive line needs this kind of expiring contract very much. Sometimes, the longer the contract, the better, because you can use this player for a few more years.

For a player like Wilcox, even if you get the deal, he will play for half the season. If he performs well, he may be lured away by other players with high salaries; Take your salary for a season.

If his contract still has three or four, it would be not bad, but it is neither long nor short, so many teams are unwilling to pay too much to get him, so his deal quickly ran aground after the excitement, Ridnour's contract It has entered the substantive operation stage.

Regarding the transaction, there are generally three situations. One is that both parties get the players they want, and everyone is happy. Chips such as draft picks and expiring contracts, after the two parties balance the transaction, the transaction is successful, and most transactions in the league are like this.

There is another type of deal that is bad versus bad. Both sides have bad contract players who don’t like it but can’t do anything about it, and have a long contract but have no performance for various reasons. A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, and a rotten peach is exchanged for a bad apricot to see if there is any turning point, just like the New York Knicks traded Steve Francis for Zach Randolph of the Portland Trail Blazers.

"I feel that I have not received the respect I deserve, and I am not very happy playing here, so I want to change the environment." Wilcox expressed his thoughts very bluntly. There is nothing to hide about this. There are very few players who end up with one player. 90.00% of the players with five or more in the league have experience with more than two teams, not to mention that Wilcox was not a player of the Sonics in the first place.

"I can suggest to the head coach to increase your responsibilities in tactics, status, and in the game, as long as your chances are better, I don't mind passing you more." Stephen didn't promise too much, some things are He can't decide, and some of them require other people to make sacrifices, and he can't agree to them.

"Thank you, I believe what you said is true, but this is not what I want, I have to rely on my ability to fight for it, and I don't need mercy." Wilcox shook his head, he recognized Stephen's ability, But it doesn't mean to recognize other people's abilities. Since the coach doesn't like me, why should I stay here? There is no need for that, and I don't need others to support me.

"I don't mean to keep you, but before you leave the team, you are still a part of the team, and the team also needs your contribution. With your ability, you should have more performance opportunities." No matter what, Cox has the ability. Among the team's existing inside players, his ability is also one of the best, and he can play both center forward and power forward. The intensity of the game is getting higher and higher. Robert Swift In the situation where it is becoming more and more unusable, he is really needed.

"You can rest assured that no matter what happens next season, as long as I appear on the court now, I will definitely play hard." Wilcox obviously misunderstood Stephen's meaning, a trace of anger flashed across his face, and there was also a hint of anger in his words. Feeling a little displeased.

"I didn't say you don't work hard, but I think you still need to do better, especially in the playoffs. Your ability and experience are very much needed by the team, and the better your performance, Wouldn't it be more beneficial for you to fight for a contract next season." In the increasingly difficult situation of the game, the team really needs everyone to stand up. For a player with such ability as Wilcox, if he is purely a coolie, A bit of a waste indeed.

"In the playoffs, it's my first time to play in the playoffs. Speaking of which, I really want to thank you for allowing me to taste the taste of the playoffs for the first time." Wick Cowles Originally, his face was angry, but when he heard Stephen talking about the playoffs, his face softened involuntarily.

"Playing the playoffs for the first time? No!" Stephen said just now that his experience refers to his experience in the playoffs. The playoffs are different from the regular season in every aspect. Stephen still wants to rely more on Will. As for Cox, he suddenly heard Wilcox say that it was his first time playing in the playoffs. Stephen looked at him in surprise and asked, but he figured it out in an instant. Starting from the Clippers of the "Ten Thousand Years of Bad Ships", the Clippers have not made the playoffs for many years. In the season when they finally made it to the playoffs, Wilcox happened to be sent to the Supersonics on the way , used to trade Radmanovich, and after he came to the Sonics, it happened to be the decline of the Sonics. He played for five seasons and never made the playoffs.

"Well, you think that anyone can win the championship ring in the first season of your career, and you can also win the most valuable player in the finals like you. It is really thanks to you that I can make it once. Playoffs, but this situation will not happen in the future, next season, I will pick a strong team to enter, and when the time comes to become an opponent on the field, I will not show mercy." Wilcox is full of confidence Said all over the place.
