Su Yang picked up his mobile phone and called Hinkie, telling Drew Gooden that he would choose to leave the Clippers.
This is completely expected. After all, with Gooden's age and performance this season, he will definitely seek a long-term contract with a high annual salary. Big hidden danger.
"Then I have to prepare a few replacement power forward candidates..." Hinkie hung up the phone hastily.
Su Yang subconsciously recalled that in the 10-year NBA free market, there were many powerful power forwards, such as Nowitzki, Joe Smith, Stoudemire, and Bosh, but there seemed to be very few power forwards who offered mid-level offers and were willing to accept substitutes.
After thinking about it, Su Yang only thought of O'Neal and a few players he was not familiar with.
"This is indeed a troublesome matter. It would be best if Scola could be brought in as a substitute, but Scola is a restricted free agent. If he wants to trade from Morey, it will take some tricks..."
Su Yang immediately sent a text message to Xinji, and continued to watch TV after sending, and the program entered the guest comment section.
[Isaiah Thomas smiled and said: "You should have heard of it? Dwyane Wade and LeBron James have already discussed it. The time seems to be the 08 Olympic Games. The whistleblower said that the players involved at the time were also Cameron. Anthony."
Reggie Miller said: "Of course, the news I got is that if the three of them meet and fail to achieve good results, they will seek to form a team in the summer of 10, but Carmelo Anthony did not take those words seriously and chose to sign one more." year contract."
Chris Webber said: "The latest news is that LBJ and DW are seeking to go to the Bulls together. Just imagine that they have teamed up with Rose for two years, and they will inevitably form the most powerful perimeter. That kind of defensive ability is difficult for even Kobe to deal with."
Kenny Smith said: "Your news is outdated. The latest news is that LBJ and DW are preparing to join Chris Bosh and join the Miami Heat. It is no coincidence that the Heat have just made space to sign three max-salary players. "
Barkley said a little excitedly: "The times have changed. In the past, our old-school players were often ashamed to fight in groups, not to mention this kind of peak grouping. If the Heat regard it as forming the Big Three, it will have a long-term impact on the league."
Weber suddenly smiled and said, "I remember back then, you also went to Houston to find the Big Dream and the glider team?"
Barkley shook his head slightly: "I was 37 years old at the time and suffered from back injuries. I was regarded as a veteran player, but what I didn't expect was that I ended up becoming the thigh of the Rockets team, all relying on Carry to play."
Kenny laughed suddenly: "Okay, we all know that you grabbed 33 rebounds in your Rockets debut."
Everyone laughed, and Barkley went on to say: Look at LeBron again. He is 27 this year and he is at his peak. Bosh is 28 this year and Wade is only 29. Their behavior can be regarded as a precedent for team building, which will affect the league. damage. 】
After Barkley finished speaking, a line of text appeared on the TV screen: Do you think forming a super team is beneficial or harmful?
"Of course it is advantageous! A game is a performance, and the higher the player's level, the better!"
"The boss can take the initiative to discuss transactions, and the players can naturally discuss team formation. The power is equal."
"As long as it complies with the rules, being able to form a super team is a skill. There is no need to accuse players of sticking together. Of course, it is also good for players to end up in a certain team. Each has its own highlights and emotions. Don't engage in binary opposition. There is no right or wrong. "
Su Yang felt emotional, the media always likes to make simple divisions and use vague concepts to guide fans to discuss.
Feeling nothing more, he then searched for free agent-related information to understand the likes and dislikes of target players, and use or avoid lightning when recruiting. After all, after the Clippers won the championship, the difficulty of recruiting capable players has greatly increased.
Because any player with some strength may not put the Clippers in the first consideration. At that time, it is very likely that it will be a player who is completely unknown. Maybe a small detail can make the opponent feel good.
...
The next morning, the Clippers continued to try out rookies.
Ed Davis, Cole Aldridge, Patrick Patterson, and Gordon Hayward and other players with lottery potential almost all went to the Clippers training facility, even the popular guard Avery radley.
It took a full five days for the Clippers to announce the end of their rookie training, some of which were held publicly and some of which were held privately.Su Yang must come to almost every game, except for players with too large a height gap, he will always take the initiative to initiate a one-on-one match.
But compared to Paul George, he didn't go all out for those later players.
One is that some players are found to be too poor, and the other is that the selection priority of many players is very low. Only when the first goal Paul George is announced, and the second and third goals cannot be selected, will those players be considered for supplementation.
Hinkie took Van Gundy and Su Yang to discuss together, and the three finally determined the five draft plans of ABCDE.
Plan A is to choose Paul George, because it perfectly adapts to the team's offensive and defensive system, and there is also the bonus of being a native of Los Angeles.
Option B is to choose Gordon Hayward. Compared with George, his defense and three-pointers are slightly worse, and his organization and holding the ball are slightly better.
Plan C is to choose Ed Davis, who is interested in his mobility and can adapt to the team's defense system.
Plan D is to choose Patrick Patterson, who is interested in his ability to shoot three-pointers and stretch space.
Plan E is to choose Avery Bradley, take a fancy to its huge potential, and slowly cultivate it for future use.
In addition to the five draft plans, there is also a leak-picking plan to prevent players who slipped from high picks.
After all the plans were prepared, Su Yang boarded the plane to New York together with the team staff.
As a representative of the team, he will welcome the selected rookies at the draft, and play wild ball with Harden and others by the way. The key places have been booked, and it is in Melon Anthony's private stadium. Where do many NBA players go to New York? .
After more than six hours of long-distance flight, Su Yang and his party finally landed in New York.
He turned on his phone to check the news and found that Hinkie reminded that there were many news about Paul George on Twitter.
Out of curiosity, Su Yang took the special car to the hotel and checked what George was discussing.
[ESPN reporter Kevin Pelton: According to internal information, Paul George performed very badly in the Clippers trial training.In a one-on-one duel, he was defeated by Su Yang with almost zero seals. His low offensive level with the ball was very serious, and he failed to show the ability to use his good physical quality reasonably. He only had no confrontation shooting. good. 】
[TNT reporter Maggio: Paul George's performance in the Bulls' trial training was mediocre, and insiders evaluated it as "going through the motions", but Paul George boasted that he would be the next Tracy McGrady. Physical condition, and a very similar style of play, can not only dunk the world, but also can be elegant three-pointers. 】
[ESPN draft expert Chatford: The most suitable pick for Paul George is the 16th pick. The Timberwolves need a striker to enrich their somewhat crude tactical system, and it can also temporarily make up for George's lack of ball-handling offensive shortcomings. 】
[TNT: Paul George’s father revealed that George wanted to stay at Fresno State University. He said he likes it there, it’s close to home, and he has a lot of playing time, but I think he should participate in this year’s draft. 】
[FOX Sports: This year's popular rookie Paul George canceled the trial training to New Orleans]
After reading each tweet, Su Yang was a little surprised.Originally, I went all out to match up with George in order to help the team understand George's true level, but now it has caused George's reputation to suffer, which is really embarrassing.
"But this seems to be beneficial to us in terms of price comparison. Is this a slap in the face?" Su Yang thought about it, "And, George seems to be cooperating with the public to lower his evaluation, tacitly helping us to choose him, which is interesting..."
