i really don't want to play basketball

Chapter 121 [New version of the ship]

The players Mullin mentioned, except for David Lee, all came from Schein's suggestions.

As early as when he was with the Suns, his little notebook recorded the current development of various heroes, and his team has been helping him collect information in this regard.

So after joining the Warriors, Xia Yin directly made a list and asked Mullin to operate it. These were the teammates he wanted.

Most of the current Warriors lineup has three-point range, and insiders Allen and Matt Bonner are both good three-pointers.

Allen's three-point shooting has been developed in the past two years with the Warriors.

His main practice is to catch the ball and catch the ball, and shoot three-pointers. His defensive level has also improved. Last season, he averaged 16.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

It is not a dream to grow to 20+10 in one or two years in the future.

His style of play is not easy to get injured, which is very suitable for him, but even so, he still suffered from minor injuries. Fortunately, Xia Yin was in the Suns at that time, and he was taken care of there. He spent his two years in the Warriors completely. .

David Lee, PJ Tucker, Jr. Jordan and Nick Rapekovic are four people, with both defense, low-post offense and mid-range. This combination of insiders can fully meet the requirements.

After Mullin finished talking about the team's operations, he remained silent. He was not optimistic about this lineup.

Coincidentally, Old Nelson was also not optimistic.

"Xia Yin, I want to ask you, in the current lineup, Curry is in his third year, he is the seventh pick, Yi Jianlian is the sixth pick, Paul George is the sixth pick of this year's rookie, the entire team only has this Three lottery picks.

In addition, David Lee only has four first-round picks. David Lee was still the 30th pick in the draft, and now he can be regarded as a hit. "

"The others are all undrafted and second-round picks, including you. I want to ask you, do you have any prejudices or obsessions?"

Anthony Morrow is one of the five people who stayed on the team. He was also undrafted in 5.

Nelson believes that if he hadn't been able to shoot three-pointers, Shain would have been kicked out of the team.

Xia Yin laughed loudly, "Did you find out?"

Nelson had a dark look on his face, this was so funny.

The team currently has 13+1 players and cannot put together a first-round pick lineup. This is really unacceptable.

"I do have such an idea. The Warriors naturally want to challenge the Warriors, and I am good at creating miracles. If I lead a group of second-round picks to win the championship, I will really practice the NBA's propaganda slogan, won't I?"

"A place where miracles happen!"

"More importantly, it saves money, doesn't it?"

It is indeed very economical. This year's salary space is US$5850 million. As for the current salary of the team's players, it has not yet reached the poverty line set by the league.

"Just kidding, because I really value their abilities. It is a fact that their abilities are strong. Even if they are inconspicuous now, it is very challenging to bring them together, isn't it?"

Old Nelson had a sudden feeling in his heart, and suddenly felt that he did not retire, but chose to stay. This decision was very wrong.

But when he thought of these players playing "new era" basketball in his hands, he was a little excited.

He doesn't worry about tactics or Xia Yin. The only thing he worries about is that these players cannot support the target expectations.

Xia Yin pulled out a table from the document, which listed the salaries of the current team players.

Xia Yin is limited by the Arenas clause, and his annual salary is only 780 million dollars in the first year, but his contract can soar to 2000 million dollars in the third year.

Curry was a rookie in 09, with 4 million dollars in 1270 years, and now in the second year, this year is 291 million dollars.

Paul George has a four-year contract of $4 million. The new season is his first year, and he can get $1421 million.

Allen is in the last year of his rookie contract this year and can earn US$405 million. However, because of his good performance in the NBA and his outstanding performance in the World Championships, he will receive an annual salary of tens of millions next summer.

This is also the advantage of a first-round pick.

Jordan came to the Warriors and signed a three-year contract worth 3 million, which will be 1350 million in the first year of the new season.

Matthews has a five-year, 5 million contract, with 3300 million in the first year.

Matt Bonner 4 million in 2000 years, 445 million in the first year.

The new contract David Lee signed with the Knicks has an annual salary of US$1080 million this year.

Beverly will make $140 million in two years and $65 in the first year.

Danny Green had 385 million in three years and 117 million in the first year.

PJ Tucker's two-year contract is 165 million, with 78 in the first year.

Nick Rapekovic has a three-year contract of $520 million, with $128 million in the first year.

Anthony Morrow 3 million in 1200 years, 400 million dollars in the first year.

But the contracts of 5040 people add up to only [-] million US dollars.

However, apart from the 13 people, there is one person who has never been counted, and that is Monta Ellis.

Old Nelson looked at Mullin and frowned, "Ellis hasn't done it yet? He was the biggest player on the previous team."

This is a strong man who averaged 25.5 points per game last season. Of course, this is also the season with the highest average in his career.

I still remember that at the beginning when Shane and Nelson discussed Ellis, Shane directly said that the team did not have a place for him in the new season.

"You know, he suppressed Curry's growth, and there is no place for him in the new season."

Old Nelson sighed, he also saw it, but it is difficult to abandon such a star in his prime. Ellis is really strong, but it is a pity.

His offense is very sharp, but the threat is far from that great. This aspect of his play really hurts the team.

In addition, he is already playing as the boss of the Warriors, and now he is asked to serve as Curry's substitute. How could he be willing to do so?The team will definitely have problems by then.

It's better to exchange him out, now is the time when his transaction value is the most, so it's easy to get together and leave.

The replaced player can accept playing as a substitute, his salary is equal to his, his offensive power is not much weaker, and he can get another first-round pick, so Ellis will naturally not be able to stay.

Mullin has been negotiating with the Eagles since then, but it hasn't been settled yet, and it has indeed taken a long time.

Mullin pulled out a document, "The Eagles think it's too much to give two first-round picks, let's ask for a little less, and now we're stuck in this place."

"Then just need a first-round pick for next year. Although the salary is equal, Ellis is our face after all, so they must give something more?" Xia Yin laughed.

"Okay, I'll make a deal as soon as possible."

Now that the conditions have been lowered, the Hawks will definitely be able to relax. After all, Crawford + 11 can be exchanged for Monta Ellis in the first round. This is a good deal.

Xia Yin chose K6, a master of chaos.

The Warriors need a guy like this on their bench, and he is a good fit. There will also be a guy who looks like him in the future called Lu Wei.

They are all sixth men who are very strong off the bench, players who are masters of chaos.

"In this way, the team's lineup is almost complete, and the team's salary space can also be filled, leaving a spot as a maneuver. You can figure it out then."

Xia Yin looked at Nelson again, "Coach, is there anything else you want to say?"

Old Nelson stood up and flexed his waist, "You have already arranged everything, what else can I say? You chose a difficult path, boy, I can already imagine what the media said about us this season."

Xia Yin laughed loudly, "Just let them say it. Facts speak louder than words. We will prove ourselves with our results."

The Warriors' lineup for the new season is thus decided:
Point Guard: Curry, Patrick Beverley, Crawford

Scoring: Shine, Wesley Matthews, Anthony Morrow
Small forwards: Paul George, Danny Green

Power forward: Yi Jianlian, David Lee, PJ Tucker,

Center: DeAndre Jordan, Nikola Pekovic, Matt Bonner

Apart from Shayne, there is only Crawford, the Sixth Man of the Year last season, David Lee, a double-double machine, and then there are Allen and Curry.

Most of the other team members are second-round picks or undrafted. Such a lineup will definitely be looked down upon.

"Let's go, boss, please have dinner. West is waiting for you there, so let's not waste time here."

Mullin still had business in mind.

"Let's go then."

Xia Yin followed the two of them to the reserved restaurant. They were already waiting for Xia Yin's arrival.

West and Lacob have been waiting for a while.

"Xia Yin, we finally meet. I have been looking forward to you for a long time. I am very glad that we can compete for the championship together."

Lacob was once a minority shareholder of the Celtics. He knew a lot about team construction and operations. Although he didn't have much wealth, he was very decisive in taking action.

How else would he steal the Warriors from Larry Ellison?After all, Oracle is in Silicon Valley, and the name of the Warriors' arena is Oracle Arena.

Ellison had coveted the Warriors for a long time, but he didn't expect to be snatched away by Lacob.

The boss welcomed him, and Xia Yin also greeted him with a smile. He liked dealing with smart people very much.

Lacob was able to delegate power to him, which gave him a lot of trust.

Of course, apart from his ability in basketball, Xia Yin thinks there are financial factors as well. After all, Mirror Nervous Company is located in Silicon Valley, and it is also a new Internet power that is currently rising.

In the past two years, just because of the fund's investment and stock market returns, it also helped Xia Yin gather a lot of connections invisibly.

These are all operated by Xia Yi, but the specific ideas are provided by Xia Yin.

Money is the courage of a hero, especially in Mi Lijian.

"Mr. Lacob's method of winning the Warriors also opened my eyes and is worth learning from."

Lacob smiled and motioned for Xia Yin to sit down.

"Xia Yin, I'm inviting you to dinner today. In addition to a formal meeting, I also want to hear your thoughts on the future of the team."

Xia Yin glanced at West. The old man was sitting there, as if he was invisible, very calm.

"Boss, to be honest, what I ask for in the contract is what I ask for in reality. I can arrange matters on the court and players. This is for the team's record and future considerations."

"As for the rest, I think you have already fully considered it. I just talked about this with the coach. He said that our team cannot make up five first-round starters.

But I think this is a publicity point, and I am confident that I can lead them to a good record. "

Lacob looked at Nelson, who shrugged, "I did say that, but I just doubt whether they can play. The new tactics are very good, and Shain is also very strong. I don't doubt this."

Lacob smiled, "We can always trust Xia Yin, because he can always create miracles, leading the Suns to win the championship, leading the Chinese men's basketball team to win the World Championship, this is enough proof."

As soon as he said this, Mullin looked at Xia Yin frequently. He knew how difficult it was. How did this guy do it?He just has this magic.

"Our goal for the new season is to at least reach the second round. We need to spend a year training, fine-tuning our tactics, and giving young players time to grow.

Wait until next season when the Warriors will really go for the championship. "

Lacob's heart was hot, "Are you sure? Xia Yin, I'm not too anxious. Even if I win the championship in 13 or even 14, I can accept it."

Xia Yin is very serious this time, "I never say big things, but I can win the championship in at most three seasons. Maybe with enough hard work and luck, you will be able to see the Warriors win the championship in the 3-11 season."

"On this point, the coach and Mr. West have the most say. If our new tactics can really produce good results, then this will really come true."

"After all, this is the new version of the NBA's ship. A team without the ability to cope will not be able to cope with us."

What Xia Yin was talking about was naturally the tactical system of the small ball era in the previous life, and the current Warriors are taking this path.

"Okay, then I'm relieved, I believe you will lead the Warriors to glory."

"Come on, cheers!"

"cheers!"

After a sip of wine, Lacob was in high spirits and said, "Xia Yin, I think the mirror nerve is developing very well now. Can we reach a cooperation with the Warriors?
We need publicity through Internet channels, so that more fans can get in touch with us and get to know us. "

Xia Yin smiled, this is the price to pay, but it is also cooperation.

"You can go to Xia Yi to discuss it. I have no objection. After all, we still have a team studying in the Warriors, and they can also see the way Mr. Lacob runs the team.

On Twitter, I can only help you introduce it, you need to talk about it yourself. "

Lacob laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. This is already very good and will help the team a lot."

Xia Yin should have recognized Lacob for realizing the power of Internet publicity so early.

The meal was extremely harmonious and was about to end.

Lacob suddenly showed embarrassment, "Xin, you and the Dream Team..."

Xia Yin frowned, "Is this someone entrusting you to be a lobbyist?"

"You know, there are always some things you can't avoid, but don't worry, no matter what you choose, it has nothing to do with the NBA."

Of course not Chris Paul.

How could it be irrelevant, just based on one point, no international player can play in the NBA for three consecutive years, and Xia Yin has already joined the Celestial Dynasty, so he is an international player.

Xia Yin is not worried about this because he can quickly transform into capital, and the other reason is Stern's god-making activities.

At the same time, he is also strong enough to compete for honors, not to mention the help of Nike hooks.

“Boss, it’s hard to recover from overflowing water. There is no way back.

I'm also very sad, but, you know..."

Lacob sighed, "I understand, those guys... hey!"

The two chatted some more about the team and then left.

"Coach, see you when the training camp starts!"

"looking forward to your arrival."

Xia Yin waved and got into the car. The sun was setting in the distance, bringing with it a different kind of splendid charm.
