Standing pretty old

Chapter 675 Crazy Summer

Billy Knight has been waiting in the restaurant for a long time.

If Knight was still a little unaccustomed to Ruan Erniu's "pointing fingers" last season, after successfully defending the title in the 08-09 season, Ruan Erniu has established his own unique vision and authority.

The competitive arena is all about winning and losing. There is no champion, and you don’t speak hard. On the other hand, with a championship, even if you say the earth is flat, others have to think about it for a long time and think about whether it makes sense.

Hehe, Er Niu, who has already won 2 championship trophies and MVP, is definitely not so boring.

In fact, he is not very interested in the summer deal.

Knight said in surprise: "No trade this summer?"

Ruan Erniu asked back: "Billy, if you have very good trading options, of course it doesn't matter. But do you think there is a very suitable trading candidate in the current team? Or do you want to trade me?"

Billy Knight and Woodson laughed at the same time, this is of course a joke, but at the moment the Eagles manager was thinking: "How do you know that I have no good trading options, labor and management want to show your bull's eye! "

However, Knight, who wanted to pretend to slap his face, didn't say that directly, but asked in a roundabout way: "Ronald Murray became a free agent in the summer, and his agent asked the team for the full amount. Middle class, what do you think?"

Ruan Erniu thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "I personally suggest to refuse, because there are other people who need to renew their contracts first, especially MB. This is the key point. After all, winning two championships in a row is definitely of great value to players. The team needs a stable backcourt."

That's right, although Bibby said that he was willing to cut his salary to stay in Atlanta, but that was before winning the championship.

Veteran players are good at reassuring people, and it is entirely possible to say some scene words to perfunctory.

But in the summer, when a team really puts out a big contract in front of Bibby, can he remain indifferent?

Never underestimate the pursuit and compromise of players' personal interests. In the huge capital market of the NBA, it is ridiculous to talk about loyalty without talking about the interests of both parties.

No matter how you look at it, keeping Bibby is an important part of ensuring the overall strength of the Eagles.

Even though Bibby is too old, even if Bibby was blown away by Brooks in the finals stage, even if the Hawks have started the process of Dragic's gradual rise, intentionally or unintentionally, but in the final analysis, the Hawks still need Bibby, a veteran Hold the field at critical moments.

However, another problem has arisen, if Mike Bibby is renewed with a high salary, what price should be used when renewing the contract next year? Immediately after that, he just entered the NBA in 07 and signed a 3+1 contract What kind of contract should Ruan Erniu, who has the priority to renew his contract in the 10-11 season, use to renew his contract?
Therefore, it seems that it is just to draw up a reasonable renewal contract for the veteran, but in fact there are many ways to calculate in it.

Woodson, who kept silent, said: "Not only MB, but Zaza's contract has also expired. What kind of contract do you think should be given to him?"

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "In short, trying to keep the original rotation is the key, and the others are not important."

Er Niu's words are of a high level, and this is a draft he has already prepared.

You must know that as soon as these words came out, in the real context, Ruan Erniu's own attitude had already been expressed.

The so-called original rotation lineup naturally includes Lunar Eclipse, Chris Anderson, Zaza Pachulia, John Salmons, Steve Novak, Joe Johnson, Ronald Murray, Mike Bibby, Goran Dragic and others.

Among them, Murray was excluded early because of his personal interests. The contracts of Ji Jisen, Lunar Eclipse, and Salmon are not considered for the time being. Claw Machine is still in the rookie stage. Signed a 1+1 contract, and the team option can be implemented in the second year, so don't worry.

After all the calculations, Bibby and Pachulia are the only two players in the rotation who really want to "stay".

On the other hand, the rest of Ruan Erniu's second half of the sentence is not important, and has another meaning. Other people outside the original rotation don't need to care too much.

Woodson suggested: "Marbury's contract has expired, do you want to ask him if he is willing to join the coaching staff?"

Egghead just lost Larry Drew, and his own coaching staff is short on staff.

However, Billy Knight gave a negative answer: "I have already talked to Marbury's team about your opinion, but he refused. Marbury said that he still wants to work for a few more years."

At this time, no one would have thought that Marbury, who has won the championship ring, still has no market in the NBA. Even if he won the championship with the championship team, no team is willing to take him in.

Also this summer, Marbury, who was abandoned by the US basketball market, was completely depressed. He actually broadcast a crazy act of swallowing Vaseline live on the Internet.

Well, a guy like him who was driven crazy by the rice imperialism had no choice but to go to the river crab society of the Celestial Dynasty to purify his soul and obtain the true meaning of life.

What follows is basically an inspirational story that everyone loves to hear.

The Eagles did not put Marbury in the player plan, and Axi* Lao, who has been trained for two years, is difficult to take on a big responsibility. The management has decided to trade him out. There was a shortage of players on the field.

If you don't rely on transactions, you have to make up your mind on the free market and the draft!
Knight asked: "In free agency, do you have the right candidate?"

Ruan Erniu shook his head and said, "Not really, so I focused on the draft.

I have read this year's draft list. Experts say it is a young draft year, but I don't think so. There are still many rookies worth looking forward to.

Our first round pick is at No. 27. I think we should choose a wing player at position 3 or 4 to increase defensive strength. I have three options for your reference: Taylor * Hansbrough, Omie Casspi and DeMarre Carroll.

And in the second round, we have the 19th pick in the second round. I want to choose a point guard and find a backup for MB and Golan. What do you think of Patrick Mills in Australia? "

Billy Knight laughed and said, "There shouldn't be many problems with the second round. He has no reputation at all. Have you met him in the international arena?
But Hansbrough should not be able to grab the first round. After all, he is the hope of the white people in the United States, and he has just led North Carolina to the NCAA championship. This is not a player who can be grabbed with the 27th pick. Tou, I have some hope. "

The conversation between the three members of the Eagles is pretty much the end, and the next step is to look at the executive ability of the uniform team.

There is always a gap between expectations and reality. In Erniu's most hopeless summer trade, Billy Knight first gave him a surprise.

On June 6th, imperial time, which was also the day of the draft, the Hawks sent Axi Law, Solomon Jones, Randolph Morris, Jeremy Richardson, and exchanged for Jamal from the Golden State Warriors. *Crawford.

Among them, Randolph Morris and Jeremy Richardson are still non-guaranteed contracts renewed in order to match the transaction salary.

Ruan Erniu was watching the draft in front of the TV at the time. When he got the news, there were only two thoughts in the mind of the Chinese:

[-]. Knight is finally awesome;
[-]. The Warriors are crazy!
　Thank you Immortal Immortal Eternal Immortal, Master Sheng for your reward!
