One Thousand and Forty. Traded for a Painter?

Compared to Kyle Singler, who looks very "safe", the draft predictions of these two players are lower.

"Okay, I understand, we will try to consider these three people."

Chris Wallace responded first. He was only the 30th pick in the first round, and the draft was originally a gamble. Sun Ce seemed to have a good vision. The main reason was to spend the 30th pick to make Sun Ce happy. It was not a bad thing.

Regarding the trade of Jordan and the draft, in fact, it was not the focus of Chris Wallace calling Sun Ce here today. Chris Wallace chatted for a while while looking for a topic. The landline phone in the office rang. Chris Wallace Laish answered the phone twice and answered it twice. Not long after, Sun Ce's agent Bill Duffy knocked on the door and entered the office with lawyer and Sun Ce's domestic agent He Zhengkai.

"Bill, you are such a busy man, you are finally here." Chris Wallace stood up and hugged Bill Duffy.

"Thanks to you, I won the championship. Noah's current market value is so hot that I am extremely busy every day." Bill Duffy's face broke out in laughter when he said this.

Chris Wallace joked: "Counting money until you're too busy, right?"

"You also have a lot of bonuses, right?" Bill Duffy did not deny it, but instead joked.

The two have a very good relationship. In 2009, no team wanted Randolph anymore. Chris Wallace believed that Bill Duffy said that Randolph had changed his ways and gave Randolph a two-year job. The contract of more than 33 million yuan was scolded by local fans at the time.

But what Dr. Wang said is so reasonable...

After some pleasantries, Bill Duffy and Chris Wallace began to discuss Sun Ce's one-year contract extension to the 2013-14 season, of which the 13-14 season is still a player option.

After discussion, Sun Ce's salary for next season was finalized. After calculation, he received a new contract of the highest possible amount of US$19.822 million, with a 10% increase for the 2013-14 season, and the contract extension clause was retained.

Sun Ce just listens. The contract renewal is a matter of decision. In the past few days, Bill Duffy finally got the sponsors. Consecutive championships are still very attractive. The persistence of small cities is also a good reputation. If you can Completing consecutive championships with a team in a small city is no worse than going to a big city... Mainly because Sun Ce himself can drive the market.

After learning about the Jordan deal, exchanging draft opinions, completing the contract extension, and notifying Bill Duffy about going to Scotland on the 3rd, Bill Duffy left in a hurry. Next, he had to contact sponsors. Everyone, we should also start planning for business activities in mid-to-late August.

Bill Duffy had his hands full after the Grizzlies won the championship.

After getting the contract renewed, Sun Ce is ready to go back to continue training, and he has to take care of his parents at night.

Chris Wallace, who was about to send Sun Ce out, suddenly thought of something and asked: "Lord, who is the center candidate you mentioned?"

Regarding this issue, Sun Ce originally wanted to contact the guy first, see the situation, and then discuss it with the team. The guy had good talent, good physical condition and golf intelligence, but his personality was too bad.

But it’s okay for the team to contact him first. Sun Ce responded: “The Kings selected a center in the second round in 2010 named Hassan Whiteside.”

"Watt? Whiteside?" Chris Wallace asked in surprise.

"I know he hasn't played much in the past two years, but he has great talent..."

Before Sun Ce finished speaking, Chris Wallace interrupted: "I know, we contacted him after he was laid off in February, but his character is too bad."

Sun Ce didn't expect that he had contacted him... But it was right to think about it. Whiteside's physical talent can be seen. After all, he was a genius who won the best defensive player in the United States in his freshman year, but his personality problems were exposed in his freshman year. , his draft pick plummeted, and it was still due to character issues after entering the NBA. In the past two years, the Kings only gave him less than 20 opportunities to play.

After Whiteside was abandoned by the Kings,

I must have been contacted by many teams. After all, the talent is indeed good. The last time a freshman won the best defensive player in the United States was more than ten years ago. Whiteside is the successor to Marcus Camby. Later, he became the second freshman All-American defensive player in 10 years.

As strong as Rose's freshman defense was, he only won the best defensive player in the division.

But there is still no team that wants Whiteside, and the Kings are not willing to train him. There must be a big problem. Sun Ce asked: "Is there no need to polish him?"

"From the conversation with him, I think he is a time bomb." Chris Wallace said seriously.

"Forget it, let's take our time. I think there will be veteran insiders who want to join us."

"That's right, you can't rush. You can trade or sign a contract. You can't rush. Lord, we are already very talented..."

…

On the way home after leaving the arena, Sun Ce was still very sorry. It seems that Whiteside has to undergo socialist transformation. Now seems not the time. Players need edges and corners, but if these edges and corners are barbs, even his own team will be in trouble. It's all hurt, so there's no need.

Just like the Heat had no chance to get Chandler, Thabeet, DeAndre Jordan, and Bogut, and chose to settle for the next best thing and trade back Nene, the NBA has no shortage of talents, as long as they are suitable.

Of course, it is not easy to be suitable and willing to come, but we cannot just introduce a time bomb casually.

Sun Ce remembered that next season Whiteside would feel the sadness of no one wanting him in Europe, no one wanting him in the CBA, and finally going to play for a team similar to the Development League in China... It would be nice to try again next year.

After returning home, Sun Ce ate something and continued to train.

In the evening, the two girls came back with their parents. The visas went smoothly. They were guaranteed by Lily Collins, and they were his parents. The British ambassador rushed over from Los Angeles.

After his parents arrived, Sun Ce did not feel the warmth he expected. The two ignored him and circled around the pregnant Lily Collins.

Sun Ce once again felt what it meant to be a loving mother and a filial son, and a deep father-son relationship...

There will be grandsons or granddaughters, who cares about sons?

Well, Sun Ce turned his grief and anger into motivation and trained hard. He will report to the national team training camp on the 3rd. By then, there will be less time for individual training. The Olympics will start on July 27th, so he has to train more while there is still time.

At night, after Sun Ce finished training and practicing the Nash training method, he accompanied his mother to watch American TV series. It was also the first time that Sun Ce saw someone watching TV with a simultaneous translation machine. The style was unique...

While watching TV, Sun Ce was checking the news. The trading curtain had been opened. The draft was approaching, and it was even more popular. All kinds of rumors were flying.

However, the first news he saw was not the trading news, but the news from the American cable TV station. Due to too many injuries in the 11-12 season, after the owners of each team and the league discussed, the league's vice president Adam Silva proposed a proposal to expand the 12-man activation list to 13 people from next season to cope with the increasingly fast pace of the game.

Seeing this news, Sun Ce felt that Adam Silva was not really that bad. He might be a very bad president, but he also did well, such as extending the schedule in the future, reducing back-to-back games, giving players more rest time, and this proposal to expand the number of people on the activation list.

The owners of each team support it, and the league officials also have this consideration, so there should be no problem in expanding the activation list next season.

…

Nothing happened overnight. The next day, the 29th, was the day of the draft.

Today is a trading explosion time similar to the trading deadline. After the draft, the next trade will have to wait until the free market opens.

Many of the trades that were discussed before, if they can be negotiated, will be concentrated today.

Sure enough, when it was lunch time, Sun Ce saw some small trades that took place this morning, most of which were trades around second-round draft picks.

There are very few first-round picks traded this year. Only teams like the Heat and Thunder that are aiming for the championship will send out their first-round picks.

In addition to trades, there are also signings, one of which is the signing of their Grizzlies!

Nash chose to opt out of the remaining year of his contract and stay on the team with a starting salary of 6 million US dollars and a two-year contract totaling 12.6 million US dollars. The last year is a player option.

Sun Ce already knew that Nash would choose to stay, but his salary would be reduced by more than 5 million... Nash's player option for the 12-13 season was originally 12.2 million, which means he would get one year's salary for two years, helping the Grizzlies reduce their salary pressure, which touched Sun Ce.

Of course, Nash can also choose to retire after the next season. Sun Ce estimated that Nash would make a decision based on the results of the next season. If there is a chance to establish a dynasty, Nash will definitely choose to play until he is 40 years old.

In the afternoon, when Sun Ce was about to take a break and continue training, he saw the deal about their Grizzlies!

And it was a deal that made him extremely excited!

WOJ broke the news that the Bucks sent Larry Sanders to get the Bobcats' 2012 second-round pick No. 31, the Spurs' 2013 first-round pick, Gary Neal of the Grizzlies, and Corey Hawkins of the Bobcats.

The Bobcats sent the 2012 second-round pick No. 31 and Corey Hawkins to get Benno Udrih of the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies sent Gary Neal, Benno Udrih, and the Spurs' 2013 first-round pick to get Larry Sanders from the Bucks!

Seeing this deal, Sun Ce burst out with a "F*ck" but then he also felt the team's "malice"... How much did they want to dispel his idea of ​​getting Whiteside?

"One day you will know how good the Whiteside I suggested is!" Sun Ce was so angry that his face was puffed up like a goose.

Sun Ce despised the general manager of his own team from the perspective of opening his eyes.

However, this deal is really cool!

A first-round pick in the 57th or 58th place, plus Udrih who wants to retire after winning the championship, and Neal who will definitely seek a big contract after the next season, in exchange for Larry Sanders, who has excellent defensive talent!
