Chapter 343 Formal Signing
With the 11th pick, the Pacers selected Myles Turner.

With the 12th pick, the Jazz chose Trey Lyles.

With the 13th pick, the Suns chose Devin Booker.

With the 14th pick, the Thunder selected Cameron Payne.

All 14 picks in the lottery area were released, and the University of Kentucky became the big winner. Four players from the University of Kentucky, Towns, Cauley-Stein, Lyles, and Booker, all entered the lottery area.

And Justis Winslow, who was expected to enter the lottery zone, fell out of the lottery zone and was finally selected by the Eagles with the 15th overall pick in the first round.

What makes Meng Yun feel a little regretful is that he didn't hear Evan's name until the first round was announced. Although he was ranked 29th in the first round in the espn rankings, he still fell out of the first round.

Evan was not selected by the Timberwolves until the 36th overall pick in the second round.

"Congratulations." Meng Yun stepped forward to congratulate.

"Thank you." Evan smiled. Although he regretted not being able to make it to the first round, at least he was at the top of the second round, which was much better than what he had imagined a few months ago.

A few months ago, he wasn't even sure about making it to the NBA and felt there was a good chance he would lose.It is not bad to be selected with the 36th overall pick in the second round now.

Afterwards, players were selected one by one. Darren Hillard was selected by the Pistons with the 38th overall pick in the second round.

When the 40th pick in the second round, Meng Yun was surprised again. The Heat actually chose Joseph Young with the 40th pick in the second round.

"No wonder this guy keeps coming to me. He is not enthusiastic. It turns out that he has known that he will be selected by the Heat and will become teammates with me in the future. No, this guy must not know that I will be selected by the Nuggets Regarding the trade, he probably also thinks that I will be selected by the Heat with the No. 10 pick." Meng Yun understood, and the "dominant spirit" is really fake, Joseph Young is a bit treacherous, and he hasn't scored yet. As for the team, they began to set up close relationships.

Seeing Joseph Yang's villainous look, Meng Yun became angry and didn't bother to talk to him.

However, Joseph Young didn't have the slightest sense of not being seen. After hugging his relatives and friends one by one, he ran over with a cheap smile, and gave Meng Yun a hug with his hands: "Meng, we will be teammates from now on. gone."

"That's the future." Meng Yun said with disgust.

"Hey." Joseph Young wasn't angry. He had the spirit of "I'll be convinced if I'm convinced by you." He licked his face and said, "I'll listen to you when I get to the Heat. You have to cover me."

Meng Yun is speechless, I'll wipe it, is there still such an operation?

Before he could say anything, Joseph Young had already run away, stepped onto the stage, and delivered a "stinky and long" speech, which made Meng Yun feel tired. He should have seen it during the Heat training camp, Joseph -Yang is a funny guy, he likes to brag and talk a lot, he has a tiger in his mouth, but a cat in his heart.

This frankly belongs to the "two ha"!
Meng Yun felt that he should go to the Timberwolves, because his attributes and the Timberwolves were a perfect match.

There are still 20 picks behind. JP-Toketo, who was on the Heat with Meng Yun, was selected by the 58ers with the 76th pick in the second round.

Of course, he is not Joseph Young, and he has no communication with Meng Yun.

After the announcement of the last two picks, the draft will come to an end. Some are happy and some are sad. The selected players congratulate each other, and those who are not selected leave the field sadly.

It's not that if you lose the draft, you won't have the chance to enter the NBA. It is possible to enter the NBA, but it requires more sweat and hard work, and it is more difficult.

The next day, the Heat and the Nuggets officially announced a rookie swap. The Nuggets sent Meng Yun to the Heat, and the Heat sent Mudiay to the Nuggets, including a future first-round pick.

The deal between the two parties was concluded, and Meng Yun was also accompanied by Bill Duffy to Miami to officially sign with the Heat.

In the office, Meng Yun was with Bill Duffy, facing Pat Riley, Andy Ellisberg and other Heat management, and on the other side was a lawyer.

"Meng, this is the contract." Ellisberg handed the contract to Meng Yun and Bill Duffy, and Bill Duffy took it and looked at it seriously.

After reading the contract, he nodded at Meng Yun, indicating that there was no problem with the contract.

Meng Yun was selected with the 7th pick in the first round. The contract is a standard 3+1 contract, and the final year is a player option.The specific amount of the contract, the rights and obligations of both parties are also formulated in accordance with the alliance standards.

The contract has a total of 4 years. The salary in the first year is 310 million US dollars, the second year is 324 million US dollars, the third year is 338 million US dollars, and the fourth year is 429 million US dollars, with a total value of 1401 million US dollars.

"This is the NBA. It's not just a dream stage, but you can also get rich overnight." Meng Yun sighed. With his current salary, he can earn what he earns after playing in the NBA for a year, which most people can't earn in a lifetime.

Ellisberg laughed: "If the contract is okay, then please sign it."

The Heat and the Nuggets traded draft picks was facilitated by Ellisberger. He really likes Meng Yun, who is talented, courageous, smart, and even more rare is that he has leadership skills that ordinary people do not have.

Now that the Heat have entered a stage of renewal, James left, Bosh has some health problems, Wade has passed his peak period, and how the Heat will go next is a problem.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Ellisberg would rather spend a lot of money and use the 7th pick in the first round to win Meng Yun as Wade's successor.

"The contract is fine." Meng Yundao: "However, I still have a small request."

Ellisberg frowned slightly, and others also looked at Meng Yun.

Meng Yundao: "It's like this. I hope the team can pay my salary for half a year in one go. I mean advance payment, which will be deducted from my total salary."

This is Meng Yun's long-standing relationship. He discussed with Yao Ming and Bill Duffy. Don't worry about the commercial endorsement, because the more it drags on, the more anxious the advertisers will be, and the more reward Meng Yun will get.

However, the team's salary is fixed and will not change due to time, so it is best to find a way to pay for Uncle Guo's surgery from the team's salary.

According to the usual practice, the salary of the NBA is paid every two weeks, and the annual salary is divided into several parts, which are paid every two weeks.However, it is not a special case to advance salary in advance. There are many such examples in nba.

For example, Carmelo Anthony once advanced his salary for a whole year in the Knicks. As long as your reason is reasonable, the team will generally not embarrass you.

Ellisberg looked at Pat Riley, and Pat Riley said: "It's not impossible, but I need a reasonable explanation."

Meng Yun nodded, he had known this for a long time, and immediately told him about Uncle Guo's need for surgery.

After listening, everyone was moved, and Pat Riley nodded immediately: "No problem, we can pay you half a year's salary in advance. If you need it, you can get it today."
