Chapter 875 [Combo Guard, Big Devil]
There was a little drama in the 2016 NBA draft.
The 76ers were lucky enough to win the No. 1 pick with the third-worst record in the league. The last time they won the No. 1 pick was in 1996, when they selected Allen Iverson. The favorite this time is the Louisiana State University forward. Ben Simmons, known as James Jr.
What’s embarrassing is that Ben Simmons’ agent has clearly told the 76ers that either Simmons will be drafted by the Lakers or he will become a parallel No. 1 pick. The psychological shadow of 76ers head coach Brett Brown is quite large. big.
Some fans on the Internet immediately expressed their dissatisfaction: "You are already called "Little James". You are destined to be a loser without a championship for more than ten years. Why are you so cool?" (James: What?!)
In fact, it's not Simmons who pulls him. Many draft picks are unwilling to go to the 76ers. The 76ers have problems with their own team building ideas. No wonder others refuse so bluntly.
The management of the 76ers is not willing to keep the stars at all, nor give the stars a chance to be loyal. As long as the players' condition declines and they don't play well, they will be sent away immediately.
On the other hand, although the Lakers have been at the bottom for consecutive years, at least Kobe Bryant has stayed with the Lakers forever, and the boss position is still vacant.
Unfortunately, Simmons' threat didn't work, and the 76ers still selected him. They would be a fool not to.
The Lakers once again picked Brandon Ingram as the second pick, and the template was Durant.
The Timberwolves selected forward Jaylen Brown with the third pick. The model is Josh Smith, who has a strong body.
The Bucks, who were last in the Eastern Conference, only received the fourth pick, and selected inside player Dragan Bender, a seven-foot man who shoots three-pointers. This type of player is particularly popular now.
The Raptors selected Marques Chriss with the fifth pick, who plays power forward and is modeled on Stoudemire. This pick originally belonged to the Knicks, and they got it when they traded the soft-hearted Bargnani.
Even though the templates of the rookies are very strong, in fact, the credibility is not high. Back then, Sun Yue's draft template was still Boris Diaw.
This year is recognized as a weak year for the draft, and not many rookies are being watched. Yang Rui didn't even watch TV and was waiting for the call at home.
The Clippers selected combo guard Malcolm Brogdon with the 30th pick. He is 196cm tall, weighs 98kg, and has a wingspan of 210cm. Looking at the side data, you can tell that he will be a tough player on the defensive end, with only a slight jump of 77cm. Showing mediocrity, the template is Aaron Afflalo.
In the 2015-16 season, Brogdon averaged 34.1 minutes per game, scored 18.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists, and shot 45.7% from the field. He led the University of Virginia to the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament, was elected Defensive Player of the Year by the National Coaches Association, was unanimously selected to the All-American team, and became the first player in the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference to win Player of the Year and Player of the Year at the same time. Defensive player's player.
In Yang Rui's previous life, in the 2017 NBA Rookie of the Year selection, the Bucks' second-round rookie Brogdon unexpectedly defeated the 76ers insider "The Great" Embiid, which is a good inspirational story.
Although multiple statistics show that Brogdon is the most watery Rookie of the Year winner in NBA history, averaging only 10.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, shooting 45.7% from the field and 40.4% from the three-point range. But Yang Rui's reason for choosing him is very simple. No matter how good he is, he is still the best rookie. If there is no better choice at No. 30 in the first round, why not choose him?
The veteran Miller has retired, and there is one less person at the point guard position. Brogdon is an excellent immediate player. Running tactics, catching and shooting jumpers are his strengths. His passing awareness is also pretty good, which is perfect for the Clippers system.
As long as Brogdon performs well, Yang Rui will send Zach LaVine away in the summer of 2017. This is a painful move. For a talented player like LaVine, once his rookie contract expires, some team will definitely offer him a premium. Regarding the contract, the Clippers have too many talented people and cannot renew it.
At No. 35, the Clippers used the Timberwolves' draft picks to select Zhou Qi, and Yang Rui was ready to directly sign a four-year long-term contract with him.
He will not be allowed to practice in the CBA for another year like the Rockets. This can be regarded as fulfilling his previous promise to Chinese fans and helping Chinese basketball.
Wang Zhelin was selected by the Grizzlies with the 57th pick, and Chinese fans were overjoyed. However, it is very difficult for Wang Zhelin to land in the NBA. Second-round picks who are particularly late in the draft rarely get contracts.
On July 1, the NBA free market officially opened, and many stars signed contracts on the first day.
In the past, an annual salary of 6 million was considered a high salary in the NBA, but now it has become a situation where 20 million is as much as a dog. People like Barkley, Pippen and others must be very depressed that they were born at the wrong time.
Pistons outside star DeRozan left for the Raptors with a maximum salary. He does not want to stay in Detroit and is a completely free man.
After 2013, Detroit filed for bankruptcy and turned into a sin city, with garbage everywhere, items burned, and many streets populated only by the most horrific black poor. GPS has failed in some parts of Detroit because many streets and houses no longer exist.
It is said that in the dangerous East Detroit, there is a risk of being shot in broad daylight. No civilian would want to stay in such a place, let alone the stars?
The only good news for the Pistons is that they retained rebounding leader Drummond. The two parties signed a five-year, 130 million contract. If this rough guy hadn't received a super-rich contract, he would definitely not be willing to stay.
Al Horford joined the Celtics for 113 million in four years. The Hawks failed to win the championship and began to rebuild.
The Lakers poached Pelicans three-point power forward Ryan Anderson for $80 million over four years, and his contract is fully guaranteed. Since signing Bosh, the Rockets are no longer able to chase stars. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Anderson has a single role and average defense, which is quite a trap.
The Hornets signed a five-year, $120 million contract with Batum, last season's starting small forward, with the fifth year as a player option. Now qualified second-rate stars can sign the contract of the top star of the year.
Batum can at least help the team, while some signings are just throwing away money.
The Pacers offered Solomon Hill 52 million for four years. He averaged 29 minutes per game last season, scored 8.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists. He shot 39.6% from the field and 32.7% from three-point range. The reason for receiving the high salary is The defense is not bad.
Center Joakim Noah, who was injured and in decline for two consecutive seasons, joined the Knicks for 72 million in four years.
Wizards power forward Biyombo, who played excellent defense in the playoffs last year, joined the Magic for 72 million in 4 years. Both of these people are blue-collar workers, and signing them with high salaries from the team is just mentally ill.
Even Jeremy Lin, a role player who played as a substitute for the Hornets last season, joined the Trail Blazers with a three-year, 36 million contract. He deserves this annual salary, and the current middle-class contract is tens of millions.
There are many premium contracts this year, and of course some teams are offering high salaries to poach Clippers players.
The Trail Blazers had the most abundant salary and offered Middleton a four-year, 75 million premium contract. Middleton decided to leave the Clippers without much consideration. The contract was too big. He also wants to see if he can do more if he has the ball. The Blazers currently lack a core.
The Trail Blazers left Aldridge, and without Lillard or McCrum, they had to sign high-paying players in the free market to make up the minimum salary, and Middleton benefited from this.
The Trail Blazers also signed center Mozgov, who played for the Cavaliers last season, to a four-year, $64 million contract. The team needs a meat shield center.
Originally, Mozgov would go to the Lakers. Because Embiid will pay next season, the Lakers did not want a high center.
Yang Rui called and wished Middleton a happy reunion. Antetokounmpo will get more playing time next season, and Covington will also have more performance opportunities. Although it is a bit regretful, the Clippers have players who can replace Middleton. Delton.
Then, the Clippers renewed Draymond Green's contract for 85 million for five years. This was a conscientious price reduced by tens of millions. Some weak teams offered Draymond a maximum salary, but he preferred to stay with the Clippers because You can win here.
On July 5th, the league’s most shocking news emerged…
