The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

It seems like a very good way to poach people from the Wizards, but in fact the feasibility is extremely low.

Because this summer, the Wizards' contract expires only with Whiteside.

Curry's new contract will be officially launched in the summer of 2013, and George's second-year team option contract will be renewed next year. Thompson, Leonard, Chandler Parsons and Jimmy Butler are also still in the contract year, and they will not consider the issue of contract renewal until 15 years.

Whiteside and George are rookies of the same year, but George is the first-round lottery favorite, while Whiteside is the second-round rookie.

There is a difference between the two in terms of contract length. George signed a 2+2 rookie contract, while Whiteside signed a 2+1 contract.

This season, Whiteside's performance is obvious to all. The level he has shown in the interior even surpassed his two predecessors, Jordan Jr. and McGee.

Compared with Jordan, Whiteside's free throws are much better, and compared to McGee, his concentration is also better.

With an average playing time of about 28 minutes per game, Whiteside's efficiency value is higher than that of Jordan and McGee. It is conceivable that when the average playing time is increased to 30 minutes or even more than 35 minutes, his data will change. how beautiful it is.

As far as Wang Xiao knows, many teams are already preparing to expel Whiteside from the maximum salary contract, but on his side, like the previous two seasons, he is not prepared to keep Whiteside.

In the middle of the season, Whiteside has clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with his playing time, thinking that he should get more opportunities, and the Wizards, which mainly play small ball tactics, cannot give him more performance opportunities.

And with Whiteside's performance this season, even if he doesn't get a maximum salary contract, the starting salary is at least tens of millions. Next year, the team will renew George's contract, and in 2015, Leonard and Thompson's contract renewal must be considered. The Wizards don't have that much money for a blue-collar center.

Therefore, it is inevitable for Whiteside to leave, and Wang Xiao will not regret it.

In fact, with Whiteside's current value, if the deal is signed first and then traded, it should be able to get a higher draft pick, but this is not true for Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao's name of turning stones into gold is already well-known in the league. No team would be foolish enough to trade their team's draft picks to Wang Xiao, because they would regret it after a few years .

Unless the current Wang Xiao uses Curry, George and others as bargaining chips, it is possible to exchange for a high draft pick.

Without draft picks as a filler, Whiteside can only get some worthless junk contracts in exchange for signing first and then changing the machine. It doesn't make any sense.

On Wang Xiao's side, after Whiteside left the team, he already has a target candidate for the Wizards' next blue-collar center.

...

After the draft last season, the Wizards once selected Lamb with the 13th pick, and took Beverly to get a 13-year first-round pick from the Jazz.

At that time, Wang Xiao's idea was to use the Jazz's higher draft pick to intercept Juad Tokunbo.

However, because of the butterfly effect caused by his own appearance, the records of the Eastern and Western teams have changed a lot this season. The Jazz ranked ninth in the Western Conference and only got the 16th overall pick. Tokunbo's Bucks, because of the increased competition in the Eastern Conference, added Wang Xiao's Wizards, Jeremy Lin's Nets and Wall's 76ers. The final record was only eleventh in the Eastern Conference, and they won more games than the Jazz. It is nearly ten games less.

A worse record combined with slightly better luck allowed the Bucks to get the No. 12 pick in the first round, three picks ahead of the No. 15 pick in another time and space.

In this way, Wang Xiao's chances of intercepting Huadetokounmpo are very slim.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao still has plan B.

In the 2013 draft, in addition to Antetokounmpo, there is also a pearl with a lower draft pick.

Rudy Gobert, 2017-18, 2018-19 Defensive Player of the Year winner, Jazz's defensive iron gate.

In another time and space, Gobert was selected by the Nuggets with the 27th overall pick in the first round, and was quickly traded to the Jazz as a filler.

And Wang Xiao originally planned to use the draft pick to intercept Juad Tokunbo, and then use the trade to exchange Gobert.

But now Antetokounmpo is basically out of the game, and he simply cut off Gobert with the 16th pick, so as to save night and dream.

Originally, Wang Xiao attached great importance to Giannis Antetokounmpo, the MVP of the regular season in the 19th season.

But as this season progressed, his obsession with Antetokounmpo has faded a lot.

There is no other reason, the Wizards' front line is too congested now.

George, Leonard, Green, Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison, Jimmy Butler, Chandler Parsons, even Yi Jianlian...

Even if Jamison retires next season, the Wizards still have 7 forward players, and they will divide the playing time of the two forward positions.

How can the entire Wizards have Antetokounmpo's playing time?

Moreover, Antetokounmpo is different from Chandler, Parsons and other shooter strikers. With poor shooting ability, he must attack with the ball to exert his greatest power.

These various factors have led to Wang Xiao's desire to pursue Brother Antetokounmpo no longer. If the pick can be selected, he will definitely make some attempts, but if the draft pick is not enough, then he will not bother, or even break the line The Wizards currently have good chemistry to force the pursuit.

The 2013 draft will start on June 27.

The venue for this draft is no longer the Knicks' home stadium, Madison Square Garden, but the Barclays Center in Brooklyn after the Nets' new relocation.

As usual, as the head coach of the Wizards, Wang Xiao came to New York the day before the draft to prepare for the upcoming draft.

Having participated in the draft conference many times, Wang Xiao is already very familiar with the process of the draft conference.

2013 was a small year in the draft. Among the top ten players in the draft, only Oladipo with the second pick and McCollum with the tenth pick will play their worth in the future. There are only a few of them.

Therefore, Wang Xiao doesn't think there will be any surprises in this draft.

However, when the entrance of the hotel where he was staying was blocked by people, Wang Xiao realized that this draft may not be the same as before

"you liar!"

Looking at Mallory Edens, who had her brows upside down and glared angrily at her.

Wang Xiao understood that this draft might be particularly noisy.
