legendary point guard

"Wood, what do you think? Tell us and let's discuss it together. ∈♀" Otis Smith looked directly at Lin Sen.

Seeing everyone's eyes falling on him, Lin Sen shook his head helplessly: "The pressure is entirely on my side."

"Well, actually I think the current team lineup is pretty good.

Next season, Dwight, Gortat, Mark plus Darko, Eddie, Chris and Dikembe will be enough to deal with all opponents.

Then on the outside, Ron, Sean, Grant, me, and Chauncey should be able to handle most people.

As a result, our lineup is basically 12 people, and there are still 3 spots left before the 15-man roster.

Sam heard that he wanted to leave, although I really want him to stay and fight, and with Devin's contract expiring, our outside line seems a bit weak.

I think besides me and Chauncey, there is a need to strengthen the team because the season is too long.

Just like Chauncey was injured in the playoffs, no one is guaranteed to be healthy all the time.

If Chauncey and I..."

"Wood, if other people hear this, they will go crazy. This is absolutely not allowed." Craig interrupted with a smile, "Especially your fans, if we don't protect you,

Then I will probably be sent a bullet."

"Craig said it right, so Wood, I know you are very busy this summer, but you still have to pay attention to physical distribution." Although Stan Van Gundy did not explain clearly, the meaning of his words is self-evident.

He just hopes that Lin Sen can think more about himself and not only represent the Hong Kong team, but also the expectations of millions of Orlando Magic fans.

Although the Los Angeles Lakers are missing Anzu Bynum this season, no Magic fan doesn't look forward to Lin Sen leading the team to defend the title.

And Lin Sen is undoubtedly the most important weight for the Magic to defend their title. Everyone can see how important Lin Sen is now.

"I am an adult and a father of two children." Lin Sen shrugged, "I will make the best choice."

"Don't put pressure on Wood, Wood, you have the best choice, I believe you, but do you have any choice for the back line.

Our total salary now is almost 71 million. If Ron skips the last year of his contract, our total salary will be 66 million.

As for Ron's contract extension, I don't think anyone will object to it. In addition, Dikembe and Mark need to be signed.

According to last year's standards, this year's salary cap is between 58 million and 59 million, which means this year's luxury tax trigger line is probably less than 70 million.

Then our salary is destined to exceed the salary cap and need to pay luxury tax. Now we still have a mid-level contract clause this year.

I think if possible, it may be used to split and strengthen, of course it depends on whether there are suitable candidates.

If not, I think our boss will not be stingy about paying the luxury tax of 20 to 30 million.

If you have any good opinions about the players, I have marked every free agent on the free market, maybe there are too many." Otis Smith said patiently.

As he said, the Magic's championship this year made all of Orlando go crazy, and it also contributed to Amway's sales growth.

Team owner Charlie DeVos even wants Lin Sen to endorse Amway. If he can continue to win the championship, he will definitely not mind paying more luxury tax.

Otis Smith's influence from winning the championship is estimated to be much greater than that of the players from the previous two years. Linson's direct influence accounts for a large part of this.

Without a good team, Otis Smith doesn't believe Lin Sen, who is very competitive, can stay in Orlando for long.

"By the way, there are basically no problems with the contracts between Ron, Mark and Dikembe, and the contracts between Mark and Dikembe. The only thing that needs to be resolved is whether Dikembe is willing to continue playing.

Stan, do you think Dikembe has this ability? Or should he join the coaching staff?" Otis Smith looked at Stan Van Gundy.

Stan Van Gundy nodded: "I think Dikembe can play for another ten years, but next season Mark will come and we can see Gortat's strength, so Dikembe's playing time will be further reduced.

But I think we can still play for at least one more year. His importance and experience are the first. He is the leader of the team's locker room.

As for Stan, I think I have more say in Henin, he and Sean form a super defensive partnership."

"Last season, Ron played 77 games for the team, averaging 30.7 minutes per game, scoring 13.5 points, and was our fourth leading scorer.

At the same time, he grabbed 3.7 rebounds, dished out 3.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.4 blocks. His shooting percentage was 46.1%, and his three-point shooting percentage was 38.3%, creating a new career high.

But his independent offensive ability on the court is second only to Wood and Chauncey, and higher than Dwight.

But offense is not particularly important to us, what is important is his defense.

The players he faced averaged 10.4 points per game last season, which is a slight 1.5 points higher than his peak of 8.9 points in Indiana, but I don't think his defense has dropped.

After all, the scoring ability of the players he needs to defend has improved a lot. The most important thing is that the average shooting percentage of his opponents is only 34.5%. This is a quite astonishing number. It is the same as his average points per game in controlling his opponents. These two numbers

Ranked first in the NBA last year.

In addition to these, his efficiency rating of 19.5 was second only to the year he fought, and the defensive line formed by him and Sean caused countless headaches.

Although his performance against Kobe Bryant was not very good in the Finals, it was not his defensive fault.

Ron has never talked about whether to opt out of the contract. If he opts out of the contract, I think with his condition, a team will definitely pay 7 to 8 million to sign him."

Henin's words silenced the conference room. Artest was very important to the Magic, but no one thought that the data showed that it was so important.

Compared with Battier, Artest not only has strong defense but also offense, especially the ability to attack independently.

"I heard both Houston and Los Angeles wanted to make offers for Ron, and they definitely weren't the last two.

Everyone wants to tear us down, and Ron’s strength is worth the risk, especially Ron this season.” Patrick Ewing said seriously.

"I know this, and I will talk to Ron and his agent as soon as possible. I think he has a happy life in Orlando and will not leave easily.

And we can also give you a price, unless he doesn't want to stay. I can't think of any reason why he won't stay.

So Mark’s salary is 9 million for three years, Dikembe’s veteran’s minimum salary, and the remaining two spots are divided into a mid-level contract. Do you have any good suggestions?

Let’s take a look first, maybe there are some good recommendations.” Otis Smith said with a smile. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
