One Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty-Four. Unprecedented Difficulties

Remember in one second [ ]

An unexpected situation occurred. In addition to the two people that Sun Ce wanted to choose, the Grizzlies had a "spare tire" in their momentum. After these two people were selected, the TV screen switched to the trading host next to them. When the TV screen switched to here, Sun Ce knew that his team had chosen to trade!

An unexpected situation occurred in the plan, and Chris Wallace, who was far away in New York, had no choice. They wanted to choose the players that Sun Ce liked, and Sun Ce had a good eye. It was said that he had his own agency. Legend has it that Sun Ce had a bunch of scouts. It was just the 11th pick in a small draft year. They wanted to do it according to Sun Ce's words, but since an unexpected situation occurred, they followed the original plan.

The host announced that the Hawks used this year's first-round 16th pick and the 2015 first-round lottery protected pick to trade for this year's first-round 11th pick.

The Hawks selected Ben McLemore, a sophomore from the University of Kansas.

The Thunder selected Steven Adams with the 12th pick of the Hornets that they had obtained in the early years.

The Bobcats selected Cody Zeller at the 13th pick, and the commentary from the TV commentator made Sun Ce feel very interesting.

With the inside combination of Bennett, Cody Zeller, Al Jefferson, and McRoberts, it is very similar to the Grizzlies' inside combination, with all types of inside players. The Bobcats are expected to rise next season.

The Timberwolves used the 14th pick from the Jazz to select Gorgui Dieng.

The Celtics selected the white inside player Kelly Olynyk at the 15th pick.

At the 16th pick, Sun Ce didn't know who the team would choose this time. If he had known earlier, he would have given the third choice. Olynyk and Adams are both good choices... The trade is expected to be good. The inside line lacks a power forward, not a center.

Three minutes later, David Stern came to the stage again, and said with his signature smile amid boos: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the 2013 NBA draft, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Tim Hardaway II from the University of Michigan!"

Looking at the name of the person selected, Zugoo next to him asked: "Brother, Sister Lily, why does the name of the point guard selected by the Grizzlies look so familiar?"

"He is the son of my trainer."

"Oh, yes, yes, I remember, the fat trainer is called Tim Hardaway. Hey, now both father and son are working for the Grizzlies. Brother, when Gohan grows up, will you and him also work together?"

Zugoo used English because she asked Sun Ce and Lily Collins the previous question.

Lily Collins also looked at Sun Ce curiously for this question, wanting to hear how Sun Ce would answer.

"This... is possible! Your brother seems to have good genes in my family. I have to work hard and wait for him to enter the NBA and beat him!"

"..."

Lily Collins and Zu Ge looked at Sun Ce speechlessly, not to mention whether Sun Ce could play until then. Even if he could, shouldn't it be a warm scene?

Why is the style so weird when it comes to Sun Ce?

...

Seeing that his team selected Hardaway Jr. at the 16th pick, Sun Ce knew that their team had finished recruiting players in the draft.

If Paul George was traded for a power forward or a few good chips such as draft picks, and there were conditions for trading a suitable power forward, choosing Hardaway Jr. would definitely be a good choice, and taking advantage of the Hawks wanting to select Ben McLemore, the "T2 lost pearl", they got a 2015 first-round pick.

But when the Paul George trade was not going well, it would actually be more appropriate to choose a trading chip that might be favored by other teams.

But now that things have come to this, let's take it one step at a time.

After the Grizzlies finished their selection, Sun Ce didn't want to continue watching. Zugoo was not interested in any selections other than the lottery zone in a weak draft year. She was still growing and went to find something to eat. Lily Collins simply watched TV with Sun Ce. Seeing Sun Ce take out pen and paper and calculator to write and draw, he took little Gohan to another living room to listen to music.

Sun Ce calculated the salaries of the team's current players.

His 21.5 million, Randolph's 17.12 million, Gasol's 14.86 million, Paul George's 4.47 million, Yi Jianlian's 4 million, Klay Thompson's 3.61 million, Larry Sanders' 2.03 million, Jimmy Butler's 1.25 million, Beverley's 830,000.

Lopez Jr. was determined not to renew his contract and notified the Grizzlies in advance. Prince and Tony Allen were ready to renew their contracts, but they had not yet negotiated the contracts.

The team currently has 9 players under contract. Sun Ce calculated that the salary of these 9 players next season will be more than 69 million. Even if the salary cap reaches the highest expected 68 million, they will exceed the cap.

Moreover, Tony Allen and Prince will occupy virtual space. Prince is fine, with a base salary, while Tony Allen will occupy more than 3 million space. After this calculation, Sun Ce found that his team's salary is still around 75 million to 76 million.

If Claude had not been used as a bargaining chip to make the Suns pay Nash more than 5 million US dollars in salary, the total salary would definitely be more than 80 million, and there would be no full middle class.

The difficulties they encountered this summer are more difficult than last year!

Any two-time champion team, if the core lineup is not old, will definitely become the public enemy of the league.

As Sun Ce returned to the team to participate in team affairs in the past two days, he found that this was secondary.

He also learned a strange thing, that many role players wanted to play with him, but not now.

This is not what I mean now. It is different from what Garnett said to James. They don’t dislike the Grizzlies.

^0^    Remember in one second【】

The Grizzlies have a small market, but they dislike that they have just won two consecutive championships. They want to wait until they lose.

Sun Ce feels that this may actually be the most difficult situation.

The good news is that their core lineup has not changed much now. At least the foundation is still there, and there are still ways to think after the offseason begins.

The core lineup is stable, which has both good and bad sides. At this time, it depends on the management’s operation. Moreover, Sun Ce actually likes this feeling of expectation.

…

…

On July 1, 2013, the free market officially opened. The Grizzlies officially announced that Sun Ce would continue to extend his contract. Sun Ce retweeted the Grizzlies’ tweet and wrote: "We are on the most difficult road, but I still have the most sincere enthusiasm."

Sun Ce suddenly wanted to be literary today, but the comments below were "unbearable to look at."

"Lord, your account has been hacked?"

"Is this your style?"

"Don't pretend to be cultured. You dropped out of school before finishing your freshman year."

"Did Lily send this with your phone? I heard that people in your hometown are henpecked..."

"..."

...

Looking at the comments, Sun Ce felt so sad. Didn't he just want to be artistic?

Looking at his Twitter followers, which is second only to James among NBA players, Sun Ce feels that these people are all black fans!

Dear, this chapter is over. I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
