Super Lord of the Rings

Afterwards, Wang Jun called to congratulate Yi Jianlian.

Because he didn't like the king, Yi Jianlian was not very excited, and sighed: "I think the king is too weak, I'm afraid I won't make it to the playoffs."

"It's good because you are weak. Miller and Raheem are old, and Thomas is too short. They must reuse you. If you go, you will start. Don't think about winning, try your best to collect statistics, and change teams after four years. It’s also good to get a high salary.”

Yi Jianlian said with a smile: "Shouldn't I aim to win the game?"

"That's something that needs to be considered after you have good teammates. You have to prove your ability first, and then consider other things. Of course, it would be better if you can bring the Kings into the playoffs."

"Understood." Yi Jianlian obeyed Wang Junyan, surpassed Wang Jun and dared not think, and he was satisfied to become an All-Star.

As long as he plays star data, with the support of Chinese fans, he may be put into the starting lineup, which is not difficult.

At this time, Paxson was not very happy.

Before Paxson called Wang Jun, hoping that he would represent the Bulls in the draft, so that after Oden was selected, the two could communicate immediately. Wang Jun's presence is to give Oden the greatest respect.

But Wang Jun fell in love with Gentle Country and didn't want to leave Los Angeles, so he refused, which showed that he didn't take Auden seriously.

In fact, he really didn't take Auden seriously.

He went to watch an NCAA game and found that Oden's skills were average, he only played with his body, and he couldn't make a mid-range shot. If he can't practice shooting well, he will be Dwight Howard at most after two years of playing. How can he dominate the league like the media said?

Wang Jun believed in his own eyes, not what the media said. There will be a lot of hype in the draft every year, but this year's hype is particularly strong. Back then, Olavocandi's template was "Big Dream" Olajuwon, what happened?

Wang Jun plans to meet Oden again when the season starts. If they get along well, they will naturally become friends. After the draft, he just called Oden. A few words of encouragement as a senior.

The summer league will start in July. Of course, the Bulls don't need Oden to play, and they signed a four-year rookie contract with him directly. According to the high standard of champion.

The coaching staff is worried that his wrist injury will recur again. If he is injured for the preseason game, the loss will not be worth the loss. He can wait until the regular season to practice slowly. Someone on the team can take him.

The good news is that at draft time, Oden is healthy except for his wrist.

It was Chandler that gave Paxson a headache.

He was afraid that it would be difficult for the team to defend the title. After all, Oden is just a rookie and hasn't played in the NBA yet. Keeping Chandler is also afraid of affecting the training of Oden. Playing time must be reduced.

Moreover, Oden and Chandler lack shooting ability and cannot play together, which will not open up space.

In any case, the three main insiders last season will definitely have to reduce their playing time.

After discussing with the management, Paxson plans to renew Lewis with all his strength first. He can play the 3rd and 4th positions and guarantee three-point firepower. The tactical role is very important.

Then reduce the playing time of Chandler and David Lee. Give Oden a chance to perform. Chandler is poor offensively, David Lee is poor defensively, they have weaknesses. You can only obey the coach's arrangement.

This is a unanimous decision of the management. Since this super potential rookie can't be exchanged for any useful people, and the salary space is also doomed that they can't trade another big name, let's try our best to cultivate the rookie into a star.

In July, the free market opened.

Lewis announced that he would jump out of the last two years of his contract and become a restricted free agent, seeking a high-paying long-term contract.

Hinrich rejected the Bulls' 5-year 48.5 million offer and accepted the 5-year 65 million contract offered by the Eagles. This is much stronger than the contract opened by the Bulls.

The Eagles had previously attracted Joe Johnson with a premium contract, and they were betting on the player's potential. I won the bet last time. Just want to do it again.

The Bulls can choose to match, but this offer directly scared Paxson away. 10+8 data to get such a big contract. Isn't this disrupting the market?

Although Hinrich is efficient, he is not outstanding in the Bulls tactical system. Passed to Wang Jun after halftime, and then waited for the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer on the outside. In addition, many of his simple assists are passed to Wang Jun and shot immediately after receiving the ball.

To put it bluntly, Hinrich is an outside 3D player. The Eagles' signing of such a large contract can improve their record in the short term, but in the long run, it will lock up the salary space.

When renewing Josh Smith and Marvin Williams, it will be time for the Eagles manager to have a headache.

The good news is that Lewis is willing to cut his salary appropriately. He accepted the Bulls' 5-year offer of 85 million and rejected the Magic's 5-year maximum salary of 97 million.

The Magic are full of sincerity, but to join the Magic for 12 million and give up the opportunity to build a dynasty with the Bulls, Lewis thinks it is not worth it. It's just an extra 2 million a year.

Lewis' agent also suggested that he stay. Because of Wang Jun's relationship, the Bulls have a huge Chinese market, which will help his popularity. If he plays well, he may even receive endorsements from Chinese businessmen.

He is different from Hinrich. The coach arranges tactics, and he may not be able to play so comfortably when he goes to the Magic.

Lewis' only regret is the contract period. If he can jump out of the contract at the Supersonics, sign first and then switch to the Bulls, then he can sign for six years, and now he can't maximize his benefits.

After the contract extension was completed, the Bulls management breathed a sigh of relief. Nocioni left last season. If Lewis leaves again, it will be very difficult to defend the title. It's useless to keep Luol Deng, the three-pointer is too bad.

The Magic management is in a hurry. In order to successfully renew the contract of "Warcraft" Howard, they must find a star. If Howard is gone next year, the Magic can start rebuilding.

The weak No. 4 position can also allow Turkoglu to play a cameo, and the Magic manager gave Vince Carter, who jumped out of the contract to the Nets, a high-paying long-term contract.

80 million in 5 years is not the maximum salary, and the 5th year is a partial guarantee. Even so, it is too high. Carter was not selected for the All-Star and did not even make the playoffs, which was more than ten million higher than the Nets' offer to Carter.

Of course Carter chose to accept. After the Nets sent Wang Jun away, they let Carter go for nothing.

This time, the Nets fans were too lazy to scold the boss. Some people said that they would not care about anything about the Nets in the future, and let them fend for themselves.

Kidd also submitted a trade application to the Nets and will leave at any time. The only ones who benefit are Jefferson and Ben Gordon, who can get more ball rights.

The Nets haven't improved much inside, but the 18th pick has a spring man inside Sean Williams, and the rough guy can dunk.

It's not enough for the Bulls to renew one contract, and the lineup suddenly lost many people.

Veteran Payton announced his retirement. He has money and doesn't want to go to other teams to earn a low salary. In the Bulls, he just imparted some experience during training, and didn't play much at all.

Eddie Jones also announced his retirement. He has an old knee injury and doesn't want to stick to it.

Webber didn't want to retire, but with Oden on the team, Paxson had no interest in re-signing the poor defensive Webber. No other team has offered him an offer yet.

He is now in a semi-retired state, and it is difficult to get a big contract even if he continues to play.

Managers are basically not stupid. In the finals, the Bulls used Amundson and did not use Webber, which was obvious. He can't keep up with the rhythm on the defensive end, and there are serious injury risks. It's time to rest.
