Chapter 665 Summer Operations
The finals came to an end as the Warriors finally won the championship. In this year's finals, while a large number of fans and the media lamented the strength of the Warriors, the performance of the Pistons also made everyone pay attention to this iron-blooded team. The potential of the team!
Afterwards, after the Warriors went through a grand parade to win the championship, among the intermittent parties, the time gradually came to the week before this year's draft!
In Bruce's office, he was subconsciously kneading his temples and forehead with his hands, his face was a little pale and tired, and there was a weak murmur in his eyes!
"Damn, why is this country so obsessed with parties!!"
Bruce muttered with a depressed face, thinking of the scene of partying almost every day before, this couldn't help giving him a headache!
"Bang bang bang!!"
A knock on the door quickly stopped Bruce's movements. He frowned and took a sip of the boiled water on the table, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Come in!"
After hearing what Bruce said, West had a trace of helplessness on his face, and then he pushed the door and walked in!
When Bruce saw that West was just like him, and even had a somewhat inferior complexion and spirit, he couldn't help feeling that this old gentleman had a lot of energy!
"God, as much as I'd love to see us win a championship, this endless partying is just so frustrating!"
As soon as West got down, he complained and said, he looked a little unhappy, which suddenly made Bruce feel better!
"Haha, Jerry, I saw you were very excited at the previous party!"
Bruce said something jokingly, and then even with an awkward smile on West's face, he stood up and poured him a glass of warm water!
"Gudong. Gudong!!"
After receiving the water glass, West, like someone who hasn't seen clear water in the desert for a long time, picked it up and drank it clean in one go!
Bruce stared at West, who was a little bit unfinished, a snicker flashed across his face, and then he got up and brought the cold glass directly!
"Hehe, although alcohol is a very wonderful thing, the hunger and thirst it brings to the body really makes me a bit too much for this old guy!"
West took the cold cup unceremoniously, and after gulping three full cups, he was satisfied, hiccupped and said, "Look, this feeling is really comfortable!"
"Okay, Jerry, how about we see what happens in a week?"
Bruce said something with a smile on his face, then picked up a document about this year's draft on the table, and slowly pushed it to West!
"belch.."
While receiving the document, West burped in embarrassment, then smiled, and after opening it gently, the first thing he saw was the situation of some players on the front line!
"What do you know about these players??"
West asked curiously. He couldn't help being a little puzzled about the players on the list whose market conditions were not very good!
In this list, players like Dorell Wright, Jamal Nelson, Delonte West, Tony Allen, basically in these positions of the Warriors, already seem a bit crowded up!
Even if Gerald Wallace can say that the basic meeting has ended this summer, but after the team has Korver and Pietrus, the pair of forward and guard swingmen, it is necessary to choose some forward and defensive players. Obviously a little puzzling!
"Hehe, for players like them, basically their future is pretty good."
Bruce said indifferently, and then slowly explained to West just as he was about to speak.
"As for these players, let's put them aside for now. Judging from the team's current lineup configuration, our main force is already perfect. What we need now is some players who can help them. After all, our After the lack of veterans, the substitute lineup seems a bit too thin!"
After listening to Bruce's words, West couldn't help thinking secretly!
After winning the championship with the Warriors this year, at least Malone showed a hint of retirement in a previous party!
Afterwards, if Malone insists on choosing to retire, in the case of the substitute lineup, with only Payton and Ginobili as pseudo substitutes, relying on two rookies who are not very good defensively to control, this really makes Bruce Some worries!
"Oh? Do you mean you want a deal??"
After figuring out the key points, West couldn't help saying with a hint of surprise.
"Hehe, yes, if we have a good choice, I think a trade will be a very beneficial result for the team!"
Bruce nodded with a smile on his face, his tone full of desire for a deal!
In the current lineup of the Warriors, apart from Ben Wallace, Ginobili, Robert Horry and Payton on the main team and the bench, the rest of the players are now members of the Warriors. Bruce obviously doesn't have much patience to train these guys anymore!
Of course, if Korver, who has great shooting potential, is also counted, then after the Warriors add Gerald Wallace, Pietrus and Steve Blake will definitely be traded. !
"Uh. Are you preparing for the future of the team?"
West asked curiously. For him, it was obvious that the future of the team attracted him more attention!
"That's right, in the next ten years of the team, Tim and Dirk will be the permanent core players of the team. Even if Andre, can you guarantee that if he speaks up this year, we will definitely Will you renew your contract with him??"
Bruce said with a serious face, for Kirilenko's situation, he had some preparations before the start of this season!
Regarding Kirilenko's matter, Bruce obviously has more ideas. If this guy puts forward a reasonable contract based on the love that brought him into the team back then, he will happily choose to renew the contract. But once this guy opens his mouth a little bit, he will have to consider whether there is a possibility of trading anyway. After all, this league has gradually become a purely commercial organization, especially on the player side. Everyone has an agent In the case of people or economic teams, no one will want to get a contract that is lower than the high price!
"Andre??"
After hearing what Bruce said, West couldn't help but subconsciously frowned!
Before, when Bruce brought Kirilenko into the team, he was obviously not optimistic about the player from Russia. Of course, even after Ginobili was like this.
However, with the rapid growth of Kirilenko and Ginobili, West, who had some doubts about them, finally dispelled the bias in his heart.
However, now that Bruce said something that seemed to be full of commercial flavor, he couldn't help thinking about some of the pros and cons in secret!
"It is undeniable that Andre has brought us great contributions. I don't think he should leave us due to personal feelings. However, the nature of this alliance tells me that once sitting at the negotiating table, all this seems It will be uncontrollable, after all, it is not us who occupy the active position now!"
Bruce frowned and shook his head regretfully. To him, Kirilenko was as important as a meritorious player who witnessed the growth of the Warriors!
However, after the team has Duncan, Nowitzki, Billups and Ben Wallace, the Warriors will definitely not be able to offer him a contract close to the maximum salary. He offers an approximate maximum salary, or directly provides him with a maximum salary contract, which will not only make the Warriors lose some flexibility in the future, but if something unexpected happens in the future, the Warriors will be disappointed. The team is in a long-term embarrassment, basketball is not some people's game after all!
"So what about Manu?? What kind of contract are you going to use to keep him??"
West frowned and stared at Bruce. He was obviously more concerned about another player's contract situation. After all, Ginobili had shown him an amazing future!
"Hehe, if possible, I would like to lock him in a multi-year contract with an average annual value of 700 million US dollars. Of course, I think his agent will be very difficult!"
Bruce jokingly expressed his thoughts. In his opinion, if Ginobili can be finally locked, this will be a very important contract extension for the Warriors' substitute!
"Okay, why don't we get in touch with Andre, Manu's agent??"
West simply closed the file on the rookie list, and said to Bruce expectantly!
"Haha, if it's possible, I think what we have to do now is the draft. Why don't we wait for the Bobcats to finish the rest?"
Bruce laughed and interrupted West's suggestion, and then the past life about the expansion of the Bobcats came to mind!
After the Bobcats obtained the qualifications to enter the league in their previous life, they kept discussing some issues with the league, especially regarding the selection of players. After the boss of the team voted, they finally got a fairly reasonable offer!
In this year's expansion of the Bobcats, each team will have the conditions to lock eight players, and the remaining seven, once selected by the Bobcats, except those who are completely free, even the restricted free must be unconditional. Join this new army!
"The situation of the Bobcats will be a very challenging choice for us. Except for the main players in our team, our minimum is to maintain our proper rotation lineup!"
West's expression changed, thinking of the problem, he couldn't help but speak directly to Bruce.
Sorry, the pain in the arm has made Lao Lang go to massage and physical therapy for three consecutive days.
Today's update is a bit late, I hope friends can understand, Lao Lang doesn't want to leave the web so soon, so I hope friends can understand, I am very sorry!
