Chapter 641: The upcoming decision one(1/2)

The Warriors' championship parade ended and the 2009-2010 season officially came to an end.

And a few days later, the 2010 NBA Draft was held in Madison Square Garden, New York.

This also indicates that the new 2010-2011 season has begun.

This year's draft is a serious New Year of the Draft.

And compared with the 2011 draft that was also called Xiao Nian but produced many superstars, this draft has relatively few valued in history.

A few people who will be well-known to fans in the future, Paul George, Gordon Hayward, Cousins, Wall, are gone, just a few.

Moreover, before the draft, Cousins ​​and Wall were favored among these people.

The Warriors also gave out the first round of this year in McGrady's previous deals, so they only have a draft pick with a 59 pick in the second round.

This is actually similar to not.

However, this is completely normal. Champions teams basically do not rely on drafts to strengthen them. Most of them are in the free market if they strengthen them.

Because the champion is a golden sign, especially the Warriors, who can see it upwards, is very attractive to free agents, especially those veterans.

So in this year's draft, the Warriors didn't invest much energy, and Sun Hao didn't pay much attention.

He waited until the draft was over before he took a look.

But just this glance almost stunned him.

Because he had the choice of two teams that was unexpected.

One team is the Knicks. Although the Knicks traded Anthony last season, they failed to enter the playoffs in the end.

Moreover, in the later stage, the team didn't let Anthony and Harden play much, and it was obvious that they were going to get a better draft pick.

But in the end, they failed to draw the top three picks, and only got the tenth pick.

Then, they chose Paul George with this ranking...

Harden, George, Anthony...

Sun Hao felt that this Knicks had been changed by the Feng Shui master!

This is inconsistent with what he knew in history that "the mud cannot support the wall"!

And the even more terrifying point is that the Knicks have huge salary space this summer.

With a little processing, they can even take two maximum salary contracts.

This is very scary.

Not to mention four stars, this may really cost five stars Knicks.

Of course, Sun Hao just thought about it casually, because the Knicks team has had a bad reputation in recent years, and ordinary super giants don’t want to go.

Then the other team is the Warriors themselves.

The Warriors chose the 59th pick... Jeremy Lin...

This is, very unexpected!

He knew that Jeremy Lin lost the draft, but he didn't remember it this year.

However, if you analyze it carefully, this choice itself is not surprising.

There are already many Chinese in the Bay Area, and Sun Hao's influence, it is reasonable to choose a Chinese player.

And this pick does not actually mean that the Warriors will definitely sign Jeremy Lin.

Because of the desire to win the championship, there are obviously better substitutes in the free agent market.

It is still very difficult for Jeremy Lin to stay with the Warriors.

After scanning this somewhat surprising draft, Sun Hao then held another personal training camp.

Although the existence of the system version 3.0 now allows its training benefits in the system to be far beyond reality.

But after experiencing the past year, he found that there were more benefits to opening a training camp.

The same goes for the saying, basketball is not about fighting, killing, but about human nature.

For example, this year, in addition to Curry and Ibaka, who also had contracts with the Warriors, there were Yi Jianlian, who had just successfully proposed to his girlfriend, and James, Wade, Lagar Bell, McGrady, etc., who are now freelance.

This training camp is quite lively.

That is, after the training camp began, Sun Hao once chatted with James.

James' current situation with the Nuggets is actually very similar to that with the Cavaliers.

Denver seems much bigger than Cleveland, but it is still not attractive enough to free agents.

It can be seen that the team only signed Marion last year and exchanged for Big Book.

Of course, on the plus side, Big Ben will release a lot of salary space when his contract expires this season. In addition, James' contract expires and the Nuggets have the right to birdie to renew the contract. The Nuggets have a lot of room for reinforcement in theory.

However, it was during this chat that Sun Hao discovered James’ true thoughts.

And that kind of thought made him understand James's mood for making a decision.

Just like the nickname "ho color n.1" given by Sun Hao, James' ability and his expectations for him are also towards that.

Originally, Sun Hao thought that James had won the championship and he would become the totem of Denver.

But in fact, he ignored one thing: James was the Dragon Slayer Warrior, but he retired the season when he won the championship. He actually... did not kill the Dragon.

Not to mention that his champion is like the woman in previous metaphors.

When you were single or a bachelor, you had an extremely hot desire for a woman's body.

Then you finally have the opportunity to experience it, taste the forbidden fruit, and then you are satisfied and never think about it again?

This answer is obviously no.

Because you'll even want more times.

The reason why James left Cleveland in history was that he could never win the championship in his seven-year career.

And now, he is also confused about his prospects in Denver, and he feels that he may never be able to taste the taste of a championship again.

So if the Nuggets cannot make a big boost in the free market this year, Sun Hao thinks he will leave.

However, there is one thing that James didn't tell Sun Hao that Garnett had talked to him before and said something that impressed him.

"Don't let loyalty harm you."

When he heard Garnett say this, the first thing he thought of was one of his idols Sun Hao.

Everyone can see Sun Hao's contribution to Dallas, but in the end he was inevitably sent to Los Angeles.

The reason why James didn't say it is very simple. Sun Hao and Garnett have a big grudge, so there is no need to use this kind of thing as an example.

And there is another point.

Sun Hao said that on this year's championship night, hoping that the challengers will become stronger.

He didn't know what others were thinking, but his idea was that he had to play ball with someone strong enough.

Because for seven years with the Nuggets, he already realized that he was not Jordan, Kobe, or Sun Hao's powerful scorer.

He couldn't succeed on his own, so he had to find a teammate who was strong enough.

This is not a shameful thing. There has never been a single person in history to win the championship.

Even Sun Hao had a super scorer like Durant next to him.

The day after chatting with James, the door to the NBA free market officially opened.

If there is nothing worth paying attention to in this year's draft, then the free market is a completely different extreme.

James, Wade, Bosh, Stoudemire, Gasol, Ray Allen, Pierce, Nowitzki, Guy, McGrady, Tony Allen...

Just looking at this list, you will know how crazy the free market is this year.

It is precisely because of the madness that there were already many rumors before the free market gate officially opened.

For example, after failing to compete for the championship in succession, Ray Allen may choose to leave the Celtics.

And there are rumors that the Knicks are very interested in Ray Allen and are willing to offer the veteran a two-year, 30 million contract, which is much bigger than the renewal contract offered by the Celtics.

For example, Wade's departure from Miami is a foregone conclusion, and he is likely to join a new team with Bosh of the same class. James' Nuggets will be where the three of them have the greatest chance of gathering.

For example, the Knicks are very interested in Stoudemire and Gasol at the same time, and they are trying to convince one of the two big men to join New York.

There is also news that the 76ers are very interested in Guy. Their main star is Iguodala, but Iguodala has been proven to be unable to become a qualified boss, so they hope to make some changes.

In short, rumors are flying, and no one knows what will happen before it is finalized.

So unlike previous years, after the free market door opened this year, there has been much less signing news.

The biggest signing was from Nowitzki.

He renewed his contract with the Mavericks for 80 million in four years, which is also the least suspenseful signing.

Then, there are some changes in role players.

The Grizzlies let go of the team's sixth man Mike Miller and then signed Tony Allen on a three-year, 15 million contract.
