Chapter 1255 1254. The Most Deserted Talent Show (Asking for Monthly Tickets on 7/10)

Chapter 1255 1254. The most deserted draft (710 monthly votes requested)

For many years, there has never been a draft with such low attention. Because of the Ace clause, the draft, which was originally low in attention, has become even lower.

On the evening of June 27, the draft was successfully launched.

The Raptors used the first pick to select Andrea Bargnani. Before the draft, the Bulls suddenly gave up the choice and used this first-round pick to reach a deal with the Trail Blazers, getting the Trail Blazers' fourth pick and the signing rights of Russia's Victor Koryapa. The Trail Blazers selected Radmarcus Aldridge.

Everyone knows that the second pick must be Aldridge, but the Bulls have too many stars. Even Eddy Curry can be given up in vain. In terms of reputation, Eddy Curry is much more famous than Aldridge.

The Knicks did not have a single draft pick this year. The first round was given to the Bulls without protection, and the second round went to the Hawks.

The Knicks management wanted the No. 2 pick so badly, but the Bulls threw it away.

The No. 3 pick... Boss Joe stretched out his evil hand again and took Adam Morrison away.

Liu Mang watched Adam Morrison, who was sitting next to his agent on TV, hugging Jordan excitedly, and could only say in his heart: Teacher, I'm sorry...

Schwartz was very powerful this year and grabbed one of the two hot rookies, Aldridge and Adam Morrison, but he grabbed Adam Morrison. It's not that he didn't want to grab both, but business is like this, you can't get it just by wanting it.

Just like the Hawks management tried to trade Iguodala and the No. 16 pick to the Trail Blazers for the No. 4 pick, but was rejected, and the trade for the No. 5 pick was also rejected. The Trail Blazers had a bad relationship with the Hawks management because Rasheed Wallace was reborn in the Hawks. Aldridge is a Mavericks fan and doesn't like the Hawks, so he refused to join Schwartz's camp.

Then... Adam Morrison was recommended to Jordan by Schwartz...

Liu Mang saw that Jordan was still very happy, and silently felt sorry for his teacher...

Not many people think Jordan made a wrong choice now. Although Adam Morrison has diabetes, he was too strong in college. He averaged 28 points per game in his senior year... His shooting percentage was 50%, his three-point shooting percentage was 40%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 92%. He led the team to the quarterfinals of the March Madness by himself. Among the white players in NCAA history, the player who was better than Adam Morrison in college was named Larry Bird...

Schwartz signed a rookie who was definitely in the top five. Liu Mang couldn't let Schwartz terminate the contract. He would get a commission of hundreds of thousands.

I can only let the teacher suffer.

The little girl was watching the news nearby. When she saw Liu Mang's disgusted expression when he looked at Adam Morrison's close-up, she said with dissatisfaction: "Uncle, Morrison is very powerful. You can't discriminate against him just because he is white!"

This again, Liu Mang felt weird. These white people must have persecution delusion! It's good enough not to be discriminated against by you. Who dares to discriminate against you?

Liu Mang stared at the little girl for a long time, making her feel scared.

"Uncle, what do you want to do?" The little girl asked vigilantly.

"It's okay, I just want to say, Dina, let me see your boyfriend first when you find one in the future. Your vision is too bad." Liu Mang teased.

"Ah?" The little girl didn't understand.

"Look at you, the Australian center you're optimistic about..."

"...Uncle, let's look at the draft..."

Looking at the Trail Blazers' fourth and fifth picks, they first used their own team's fourth pick plus a European player signing right to get Aldridge, and then used the fifth pick from the Warriors to get Brandon Roy. Liu Mang was very jealous.

The first three picks were not willing to be traded, and the Bulls were the least likely to trade. The fourth and fifth picks were in the hands of the Trail Blazers. Liu Mang watched the Trail Blazers select Aldridge and Roy.

The two strongest ones were selected, and the rest were not very interesting. The Hawks selected Rajon Rondo, who was originally predicted to be in the last stage of the first round, with the 16th pick. When it came to the first pick in the second round, the Hawks selected Millsap, and the eighth pick in the second round, Ryan Hollins.

There were originally two options, Novak and Tucker, but unless Tucker plays like the Rockets more than a decade later, he will be miserable in the early stage. Playing as a power forward, he seems fast and strong, and can switch defense and line, but he mainly plays on the outside... Liu Mang remembers that Tucker was cut in his rookie season after being selected, and he did not get a contract for the next six or seven years. It was not until the Suns traded Nash and started rebuilding in 2012, and randomly found players to make up the lineup and play badly, that he got a chance again.

If there is a real need, when he is cut and can't play, he can be called for a tryout.

In a draft meeting without much waves, the fans discussed whether Liu Mang, Wade, James, and Yao Ming would ask for the Ace clause, which was more popular than this draft meeting.

...

On June 28, the second day of the draft meeting, Liu Mang received a notice from Schwartz, asking him to return to Atlanta to discuss salary increase with the team.

Schwartz was communicating with the team to reassure the Hawks that Liu Mang did not care too much about this matter and asked them not to worry, but Price did not think so! He can be where he is today only thanks to Liu Mang, nothing else.

After the draft, he returned to Atlanta from New York and immediately asked the team lawyer to calculate the remaining 2+1 contract of Liu Mang.

When Liu Mang returned, a new contract was ready, 17.63 million + 20.03 million + 22.4 million US dollars. Liu Mang's remaining three years of contract have all been greatly increased. The later the year, the higher the increase ratio.

Suddenly, Liu Mang became the sixth highest paid star in the league, surpassing Kobe, Duncan, Nowitzki, etc.

However, this is just a draft. It will not be truly achieved until the league announces the details of the terms in the summer and the team owners vote to pass it.

As for the players' union... they will definitely not refuse.

Watching Liu Mang leave, Price was very tired. When the American cable TV station made this incident, he was scared. Fortunately, Liu Mang did not pay much attention to this kind of thing.

It is not a big deal to give Liu Mang a salary increase, but the rules do not allow it.

The team's profit is 44 million, but Liu Mang's value is far more than 44 million. If the league really agrees that Liu Mang can get 32 ​​million a year outside of the luxury tax like Jordan, Price will definitely give it.

Look at the Rockets' net profit, which dropped from fifth in the 04-05 season to ninth in the 05-06 season. This was the first year that Yao Ming left. It was so obvious.

Liu Mang's problem was solved. Schwartz dialed a number. The draft was over. That matter needed to be solved quickly!
