The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

In fact, Wang Xiao is not very clear. If he gathers all these players with the potential to be worthwhile, and lacks the opportunity to perform and grow, can these players rise like in another time and space?

After all, there are only 5 positions on the field, and Curry and others will occupy most of the playing time, leaving not much time for other players to perform.

But even so, Wang Xiao has no reason to give up these players. After all, as a traveler, he has the foresight to know the strength and potential of those players. It is his advantage, and it is an advantage that will gradually disappear as time goes by. We must firmly grasp this advantage in our hands.

To put it a little more selfishly, if you keep these potential players under your command, even if they can't all grow up, at least they won't develop and grow in other teams, and then become a serious problem for you.

What's more, Wang Xiao has more than just foresight, he also has a system. With the addition of the training system, these players may not necessarily sink, and even under the stimulation of the system's training bonus, they may grow even better. Maybe soon.

At present, the question Wang Xiao needs to consider is how to get these players.

Right now, the Wizards hold a total of three draft picks, which are the first and second rounds of their own team, and the 11-year first-round pick that they got when they traded Arenas.

The Timberwolves have been miserable by Wang Xiao's deal in the past two years.

When he first arrived in the Timberwolves, Arenas was determined to play well, so as to give a powerful counterattack to the Wizards who traded him.

However, after returning from injury, Arenas' state has been ups and downs. Although he can still contribute about 18 points and 5 assists per game in the end, his efficiency is not high, and his average field goal percentage is only 39.6%.

In the end, the Timberwolves won 37 games throughout the 09-10 season.

37 wins can already be regarded as the best result of the Timberwolves in several seasons after Garnett left, but it is obviously not enough for the Timberwolves to return to the playoffs.

This season, Arenas' efficiency value has further decreased, and his scoring average has plummeted to around 12 points per game.

While the efficiency was low, Arenas also had conflicts with the team's young players many times. Although it did not rise to the exaggerated level of the future gun incident, the atmosphere in the entire locker room was also made a mess.

The result of this is that the Timberwolves' record in the new season did not rise but fell, from 37 wins last season to 26 wins, ranking sixth from the bottom in the league.

It is reported that the Timberwolves have recently begun to seek deals trying to get rid of Arenas' poison contract.

Arenas’ contract was signed with the Wizards in 2008. It is a 6-year maximum salary contract worth 110 million U.S. dollars. This contract expires in 2013. Now it is not easy to get rid of this contract. It is very likely that the Timberwolves smashed their teeth and swallowed them in their stomachs.

...

When the playoffs reached the division finals, the NBA draft lottery ceremony had already been held, and the Minnesota's draft pick was drawn to the fifth overall pick. This is a fairly standard pick. After all, the Timberwolves' record in the league is sixth from the bottom. , the possibility of being lucky enough to get the top three picks is still too low.

The Wizards' own draft picks must be the 30th pick in the first round and the 30th pick in the second round because of their record.

To be honest, it's a bit of a pit.

Although Butler and Thomas Jr. were the last players selected in the first and second rounds respectively, this does not mean that Wang Xiao can win these two just because he has the right to choose these two picks.

In fact, the Bulls who chose Butler in another time and space were not as good as the Wizards, so they got the 29th pick in the first round, which happened to be one pick higher than the Wizards. It was impossible for Wang Xiao to gamble. Just one place higher, the Bulls will give up the possibility of choosing Butler.

So if he wants to win Butler, Wang Xiao needs a higher pick to be safe.

The Timberwolves' fifth pick in the first round can securely win one of Thompson and Leonard. It is not a big problem for their own team to win Parsons in the first round, but the remaining three people have not yet been found.

It's okay for Thomas Jr., even if he is selected early, it doesn't matter, because the flaws are too big, and Wang Xiao doesn't regard it as an important puzzle for the team.

But there are two other people who can only be won in the first round, and they need a relatively high number of places.

It took Wang Xiao two years to become a notorious person in the league.

The success of Durant, Curry, Harden and George has made people realize that Wang Xiao's vision is really accurate, which also makes any team trying to trade draft picks will hesitate when encountering Wang Xiao, God knows if this guy will take the first round he got from him, and then go to the draft and pick Curry or something?

As the saying goes, harming others is not beneficial to oneself, even if they don't have the ability to discern talents, they are not willing to let Wang Xiao gather all potential rookies to the Wizards.

At this time, there is still a week before the start of the draft. During this time period, all major teams are conducting trial training for the players participating in the draft, and the Wizards are no exception.

But this time, Wang Xiao became more cautious. The Wizards invited many players for trial training, including the top pick Kyrie Irving, and several high-quality insiders, Derek Williams, Enes Can Special and Tristan Thompson, Biyombo and other players.

But Thompson Leonard and others he really liked were not among the invited ones.

And the team, which has been paying attention to Wang Xiao's movements, is not very surprised to see this situation.

Kyrie Irving is the favorite for the No. 1 pick, and he will definitely not be selected by the Wizards for the fifth pick. Moreover, the Wizards already have the youngest MVP Stephen Curry, and there is no reason to choose another point guard.

However, it is normal for the Wizards to invite a large number of high-quality inside players for trial training.

The Wizards have always had problems inside. Although the three big centers Jordan, McGee and Whiteside take turns guarding the basket, all they can provide is blue-collar inside work, blocking positions, rebounding, defense.

The team's offensive firepower inside is very poor, which can be seen from the playoff series.

Especially when facing the Mavericks in the finals, when the players feel bad, the best way is to attack the inside. The Mavericks have an inside defense composed of Tyson Chandler and Haywood. The outside players attack The efficiency of the basket is not high, but if the Wizards had a center who was proficient in offensive methods inside, the situation would be completely different.

In addition, Jordan's contract will officially expire in October 2011. With Jordan's performance of averaging a double-double and 2.4 blocks per game this season, there are definitely many teams that will be very interested, and will definitely Offer big contracts.
