Chapter 1251 1250. Offer a trading chip that cannot be refused (310, please vote for me)

First-round pick Liu Mang expressed very directly that he wanted Rondo. The main reason is that the resources for this year's draft are too scarce. If he didn't say directly that he really wanted Rondo, who would he choose? Sean Williams and Liu Mang will be very tired by then.

If there are enough to choose from, Liu Mang can just give a few shortlists like he did in previous years. This year's draft resources are too poor.

The first round is decided. The Hawks still have two second-round picks, and they have the first pick of the second round, which they got from the Knicks, and the eighth pick of the second round, which they got from the Raptors. The team received a second-round pick.

When it came time to look at the second-round roster, Liu Mang felt a deep sense of despair...

The average career length of NBA players since the new century, as of the end of this season, has been 3.5 years per capita. These rookies in 2006 are probably the ones who have been averaged.

Liu Mang looked at the list of these second-round picks. Liu Mang didn't even know whether most of them had the possibility of signing a contract after being selected, or whether they had played for one, two years, or even been waived after playing a few games. The greatest possibility!

Those who can name them are probably PJ Tucker, Steve Novak...

Wait, Liu Mang flipped through the pages and came across a familiar name!

A name that is very, very low in the draft predictions...a rookie big man who is predicted to be selected between the 50th and 60th picks...

What should I do? Liu Mang is a little panicked. Is this another plan to defraud the Jazz of draft picks?

Paul Millsap!

A short power forward who has good fighting ability and has the talent to become an All-Star player in the future!

Liu Mang had forgotten that there was such a low-ranking baby in 2006.

Liu Mang handed over the information of Millsap, Novak, and Ryan Hollins to Coach Kruger: "Coach, boss, I think Millsap is very suitable for us and can play as a substitute inside man."

"What about these two?"

"There is no one to choose this year. I think these two are the best."

Liu Mang was helpless and desperate!

Hollins...Liu Mang remembers that his career averages were 3 points and 2 rebounds per game, but he was already the fifth-longest player among the rookies in 2006. He only retired in 2016. Others...except for those few An All-Star, most of whose careers lasted less than a year...

This is also a headache for the Eagles' coaching staff. There are only four rookies in the middle of the first round who are suitable for the Eagles. The two point guards were added because there were not many to choose from.

Second round... As a coach, how could you not know the cruelty of the NBA? If the Hawks hadn't drafted a rookie according to Liu Mang's suggestion, they would have been prepared every year to waive the rookie after one or two years or even less than a year. This is the norm in the NBA. Although it is cruel, it is a reality. .

Discussion of this year's draft plan ended quickly, faster than in previous years, and there were only a few options.

After the work was over, the coaching staff went to discuss other matters. Price chatted with Liu Mang, who was about to leave: "Ace, what are your plans for the summer?"

"Business activities, World Championships and training, there are not many other arrangements..." Liu Mang told Price about his summer plans. As a team owner, he has the right to know the approximate schedule of his players in the summer.

"On July 16th, will you return to the United States and go to Miami? That's great. I happened to be on vacation at the beach in Miami at that time. I will invite you and your family to come to my cruise ship." Price looked very surprised. .

Actually...it was decided on a temporary basis, because Liu Mang's schedule was decided on a temporary basis.

"Boss, you and I thought about going together. I originally planned to rent a cruise ship to take my parents out to sea, and we happened to be together." Liu Mang immediately agreed, taking advantage of it...

After chatting for a while about taking a cruise together in mid-July, Liu Mang left first.

Price waited until Liu Mang left and then returned to the office. The coaching staff also returned.

"Boss, Long, do you really want to do that?" Stockton looked a little uncomfortable when he asked this question.

"John, do you still remember our team building plan? Although these young people are great, we cannot give them more opportunities. Now that their mission has been completed, it is time for us to make changes, and they also need more opportunities." More performance opportunities allow them to display their abilities." Coach Kruger is quite decisive.

"Yes, we have won three consecutive championships. While retaining the core lineup, we cannot retain so many people at the same time. When they reach the fourth year of their rookie contract next summer, we will not have that many Now that we have the initiative, other teams will definitely lower the price. As for Ace, we can only satisfy him as much as possible..." Over the past few years, Price has also changed from a rich second generation with nothing to do to a somewhat transactional mind. .

"..." Stockton stopped talking. Now that he is exposed to the management work, Stockton still has some problems adapting to it.

Price said it as much as possible to satisfy Liu Mang, and Stockton also understood that McGrady, Jason Terry, Kwame Brown, who arrived at the arena before Liu Mang at noon today, and Liu Mang didn't know this morning. Rasheed Wallace, who has come to the arena to communicate with the management, and other young players have all been put on the shelf.

Just after winning three consecutive championships, we have to consider such cruel things. The main reason is that the Lakers have learned from the past. At that time, the Lakers did not make a decisive decision after three consecutive championships when the trading value of the team's players was still very high. The only choice was to give up Horry, leaving a mess behind.

Although the Eagles are different and have happy troubles caused by too good young players, the possible competition for the ball and internal conflicts will not be less negative than the negative effects of a few more junk contracts!

"John, what we can do is try our best to help them find a good team, a team suitable for them to play their own strength. It's a waste of their talents to have them playing as substitutes." Coach Kruger reassured Si. Stockton, who was a college coach back then, had the same mentality as Stockton when he first entered the NBA. He couldn't bear to see these young people grow up from rookies.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. Coach Kruger can only use these seemingly high-sounding words to say what he will do next.

Stockton could only nod helplessly.

Seeing Stockton's appearance, Coach Kruger had nothing to do. It takes time to accept this kind of thing. Coach Kruger asked Price: "Boss, how are you talking to them? They agreed. Yet?"

"They are still considering it, but no one can refuse our bargaining chip..."
