Standing pretty old

Chapter 853
Being on a team as a head coach is bound to be different than being a player.

If they are still in Atlanta, Er Niu should enter a complete vacation now, and at most mention his thoughts to the team manager and head coach.

But when he really became the team's head coach, he had to work with Nell O'Heir in the Clippers' training hall office to discuss the team's plan for next season.

"I don't have much hope for the draft. Anyway, we only have one pick at the top of the second round. My biggest concern is how the championship lineup can maintain stability." O'Hier said frankly.

The general manager of the Clippers acts as the puppet of Ruan Erniu and Chris Paul most of the time. The main lineup of the Clippers last season was almost determined by these two guys.

Of course, Osher is not without a sense of presence, at least the team's sixth man Nick Young was traded by him, and after persuasion by Er Niu, the Wizards paid a high draft pick.

Speaking of which, in Erniu's career, he was really lucky, and he often encountered live stars. For example, in Atlanta, the Hawks robbed Jamal Crawford, and in Los Angeles, the Clippers met again by chance. Next, robbed Nick Young with Brian Cook.

Although Nell O'Hill did not achieve the formation of a three-legged situation in the team as Sterling expected, but with his good performance, he still straightened his waist in front of the two bulls and the three guns.

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "We'll talk about the draft later. Let's talk about the lineup first. Tell me, how many people have asked you for a big contract?"

Osher turned the display screen in front of him to face Ruan Erniu, pointed to the EXCLSE file on the screen and said, "I've compiled everything here, and it's all based on their agent's phone information. You can see it in detail. one look."

Ruan Erniu only glanced at it twice, and stopped scrolling down. He simply said: "The lion opened its mouth!"

It's no wonder that the Clippers won the championship. As a member of the championship, it is very common for their value to overflow, but a few people are indeed a little too much.

It’s okay to say that Nick Young, JJ Redick, and Yi Jianlian have made real contributions to the team’s championship and raised high prices, but even Reggie Evans, Randy Foye, who can hardly play the ball Dare to call high prices indiscriminately, it is purely testing the IQ of the Clippers management.

"If you want to leave, let them go. We all won the championship. I don't believe that there are no reliable veterans in the free market who will cut their salaries and hold their thighs." Er Niu filled in red for several players who were destined not to renew their contracts. Said extremely decisively.

Well, there are also people who are willing to stay with a basic salary, such as Solomon Jones, Er Niu's old acquaintance in the Hawks. It's a pity that the Clippers will not keep this kind of guy with almost no athletic ability in order to defend the championship next season.

"That is to say, what you want to keep is Nick and JJ, right?" Osher turned back to the screen and spoke out what Er Niu was thinking.

"A player who is willing to defend, does not occupy the ball, and can make a difference on the offensive end is undoubtedly a match for our team system. Actually, I also want to stay, Allen, but half an hour ago, he just talked to me on the phone , made it clear that he would look for a new owner in the free market." Er Niu Tanshou said.

"That proves that Dan Feigen has already found him a new home. I guess it is at least a contract with the top middle class, or even tens of millions of dollars. After all, his performance in the finals is obvious to all." O'Sher said.

Ruan Erniu nodded and said, "So let's talk about any inside players who can make up for it?"

Osher thought for a while and said: "There are quite a few cheap ones, but whether they can match our lineup is another matter."

Ruan Erniu suddenly asked at this moment: "Does Mr. Sterling have any thoughts on signings for next season?"

O'Hilton paused, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm used to the old thinking of the boss, but Mr. Sterling has no special restrictions on signings for the new season."

After speaking, Erniu and Osher laughed together.

With a stingy guy like Sterling, the first thing the team management thinks of is often not to strengthen the lineup, but to ensure that the team's salary does not cross the luxury tax line.

"Let's arrange a trial training first. Anyway, the official signing is not something that can be decided in a day or two. Let's just see what other teams are doing during this period."

This summer is destined to be another turbulent season. God knows what big news will break out in the transfer market.
……

The two talked about some specific transactions, and then turned the topic to the 12 draft.

Osher sorted out the information at hand and handed it to Er Niu, saying: "This is what I learned from various sources, the list of all the players that the Golden State Warriors have tried out in the past period of time.

What I don't understand is that although we have an early second round pick, the Golden State Warriors have two picks in the first round, the 7th pick and the 30th pick, with these two picks Now, their most wanted players have been picked in advance, so what advantage do we have?
Besides, I don't think a bad team like the Golden State Warriors will pose any threat to us. "

While flipping through the information, Er Niu said with a smile: "The Golden State Warriors are a bad team right now, but as long as there is an old fox like Jerry West, their rise is only a matter of time.

What I want to do is to delay their rise. Even if it doesn't slow down, it's good to be disgusting and disgusting. "

When Nell O'Sher heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes. This is a big grudge, isn't it just that he failed to invite the LOGO man?How narrow-minded are the people of the Celestial Dynasty, as for holding grudges to this day?
People only want to believe what they want to believe, and Osher obviously can't figure out how much Er Niu really values ​​Jerry West.

After reviewing in detail for a while, Er Niu pointed to the information and said: "You don't need to look at the guys who are in the front row, like Dion Waiters, Damian Lillard, Thomas Robinson, Harris Bahn These people will basically be selected in the top ten.

We need to pay attention to these guys, they are guys who are very likely to be selected by the Warriors in the second round.

Of course, these people will also be our targets! "

Nell O'Heir nodded, but immediately asked: "But the Warriors have so many rookies in trial training, how can we be sure who they will choose in the end, I think the framework of this goal is still too big. "

Er Niu took a pen with a smile, drew a circle on the names of those people mentioned just now, and said: "If these people have never come to us for trial training, send them a trial training invitation letter, and we will compete with Jerry Wei Sterby looked at him."

……

With only a few days left before the draft, Tom Thibodeau, a workaholic without a girlfriend, returned to work with Steve Kerr, Tyronn Lue, and Natalie Nakase. The last batch of rookies who came to try out are being received.

Well, that's not entirely true, because there is another guy who is not a rookie at all, and he has been in the league for two years.

Ruan Erniu wandered into the arena after finishing today's recovery training in the gym. He asked Tom Thibodeau curiously, "Who is this big guy?"

"Hassan Whiteside, a guy who led the Kings for two years, was selected by the Kings in the second round in 10. His physical fitness is strong enough. It's a pity that his current skills are still too rough!" Thibodeau said seriously.

"How did he get here?" Er Niu asked suspiciously.

"I found him by myself. He has been given up by the Kings, so he is a free agent. Players like him who have physical talent but can't play well will usually go overseas to find them. In the future, they may hang out in low-level leagues. ’” Thibodeau explained.

"What does the coaching staff mean?" Ruan Erniu asked.

"We are the defending champions. In fact, what we need most is an experienced veteran. However, it is not a bad idea to give him a chance." Thibodeau said.

Er Niu understood in an instant. It seems that Whiteside's physical talent is indeed amazing, which makes the coaching staff still have confidence in him.

"I'll call Nell and try to get him with a basic salary. Solomon (Jones) is not here. Someone always needs to watch the water cooler for us. If it's just rough technology, DeAndre is really hopeless. Medicine!" Er Niu said with a smile.

DeAndre Jordan's annual salary of tens of millions has always been a thorn in Er Niu's heart.

Whenever he thinks of this, he feels uncomfortable with the Golden State Warriors who are driving up prices. If they hadn't directly quoted Jordan with a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions, the Clippers would not have passively matched him.

And Jordan's performance in the finals further proved that there was a huge problem with Er Niu's original decision. Fortunately, the Clippers were united and finally carried it over.

On June 2012, 6, American time, at Madison Square Garden in New York, the 28 draft officially kicked off.

This year is known as the year of the draft, and many media have predicted that there will be many rookies worth looking forward to this year.

The New Orleans Hornets who lost CP3 won the No. [-] pick, and their choice did not exceed people's expectations before the game.

It must be Anthony Davis, the MOP who won the Wooden Award, the Adolph Rupp Award and the Naismith Award in his freshman season, and led the University of Kentucky to the NCAA championship.

The most obvious feature of the young man's face is that he has two extremely tense thick eyebrows, and the hair between the eyebrows is also thick and connected in a line, so he was nicknamed "Brother Thick Eyebrows".

According to the tradition of the United States, Davis, who has not played a single NBA game, was directly selected into the Dream Ten team. He will go to the London Olympics with a group of NBA superstars.

The American superstars vowed to bring the championship trophy back to the United States this time.

However, there is no lack of irony in the United States. Some opposition fans in the United States said: "If the American team really wins the championship, the person they should be most grateful to is Kraft Nguyen, because he finally did not go to London to attack those cowards." .”

Hehe, that’s just to say, James, Paul, Kobe, Durant, Anthony, and Westbrook are all gathered together, and the Tianchao men’s basketball team is missing Dayao, and Ruan Erniu alone leads the team It is too difficult to snipe the Dream Ten team.

Turning back to the draft, the Charlotte Bobcats chose Michael Kidd Gilchrist at the second pick. The name alone is awesome enough, so Jordan must have chosen him for this reason.

Well, that's right, meow!
In the third pick, the Wizards chose Bradley Beal. This is the backcourt partner prepared for the wall. Bill is characterized by superb shooting skills, a big heart, and a certain breakthrough ability. From this perspective That said, it really fits well with the embarrassing wall.

The Cavaliers selected Dion Waiters with the fourth overall pick.

The Kings selected Thomas Robinson with the fifth overall pick.

The Blazers selected Damian Lillard with the sixth overall pick.

The Warriors selected Harris Barnes with the seventh overall pick.

After this wave, not many surprising draft players rushed into the lottery zone.

The draft continued, and Andre Drummond, who was optimistic before, was selected by the Pistons with the 9th overall pick. Of course, Chinese fans are more familiar with his other nickname "Zhuang Shen" (Drummond was in Cantonese translation is translated as Chong Monde).

With the tenth pick, the Hornets chose Austin Rivers. By the way, he is the son of former Green Kais coach Doug Rivers.

……

As the draft picks continue to move, the first round of the draft is about to come to an end.

Ruan Erniu did not come to the scene, but kept in touch with Osher by video call.

O'Hir said: "It will be the 30th pick soon, and we finally have three places. Who do you think the Warriors will choose?"

After thinking for a while, Er Niu said: "Actually, among the three people we selected, I am least optimistic about the Bosnian Ogni Kuzmich. Even if he is selected, I don't know when he will be able to land in the NBA.

So I'm leaning toward either Fertus Ezeri or Drummond Green.

No matter who the Warriors take with the 30th pick, we have to intercept the other one with the second pick in the second round! "

The results came out quickly, and the Golden State Warriors selected Ezeri with the 30th overall pick.

Ten minutes later, the Los Angeles Clippers made a move. They chose Drummond Green from Michigan State University with the second pick in the second round, which is the 32nd overall pick.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that this guy and Magic Johnson are still alumni.

The Warriors uniform team, who had successfully obtained their favorite players in the seventh and No.30 picks, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Jerry West, who was conducting remotely in Oakland, is said to have spilled a cup of coffee in a fit of rage.

"XX, the Celestial Man did this on purpose, he just wanted to get along with me!" The LOGO Keman is not a good man and a believer, and the guy who can leave his name in the annals of basketball does not have a fuel-efficient lamp.

The Clippers successfully intercepted the Warriors, but they still don't know how important they have done.

Time flies, and the 60 NBA Draft officially came to an end as the Los Angeles Lakers selected Robert Thackeray with the 2012th overall pick.

This summer's trading market is just the beginning!
