i'm really an insider

Chapter 522 519: Splashes fit together, here comes a hard one (7.3K begging for tickets)
On June 2011, 6, ESPN will broadcast this year's NBA draft live across the United States.

Whether you are a big year or a small year, the draft is always attracting attention.

That sentence is well said, the championship is a matter for two teams.

But the draft is a matter for [-] teams.

But this year, Stern is obviously not interested in the draft.

Because in another week, the NBA will officially enter a lockout.

July 7 is the final validity period of the current labor agreement.After that, if the labor agreement cannot be renewed in time, the entire NBA will come to a standstill.

The suspension of the league means that players will not receive salaries, teams cannot negotiate with players, and they cannot sign and trade players.

At the same time, players cannot use the team's training facilities for any reason, and the team cannot hold any summer training camps, team meetings, coaches' gatherings, etc.

Of course, NBA teams cannot use the image of players for publicity and other work.

In short, until the new labor agreement is finalized, there cannot be any form of contact between the team and the players.

Therefore, Mancias was just cut by the Trail Blazers yesterday.

The Blazers made the cut for Wayne on purpose.

If Mancias continues to fulfill his contract with the Trail Blazers, he will not be able to provide services as Wayne's personal trainer this summer.

This thing is really messed up or pretty fucked up.

Let's talk about labor negotiations. Although Wayne is also a participant as a player, he didn't interfere too much.

This thing is very complicated to explain in detail.But in the final analysis, it is still because of a word of money.

To put it bluntly, the bosses cried poorly to Stern, saying that we can't live through this day, and that after a season, we can't make money and have to pay back. Who is playing with you?

Why don't we play better than playing basketball? This is how serious basketball is played.

What if the boss is crying poor?This is the most direct and effective way to reduce players' income.

Then the players will definitely stop doing it. The players think that the previous version of the collective bargaining agreement is very good. If we don’t talk about salary increases, it’s good. If you continue to decline, it’s not ridiculous.

Believe it or not we all go to CBA to play?

Everyone is a craftsman, where can we find food?

Political Commissar Ma: Come on, come on!Socialism is good!Brother Wei really didn't fool me back then!
As a result, the players and the league launched a series of verbal battles around whether to cut salaries or not.

As early as late March this year, the league announced that 30 of the 22 NBA teams were losing money.

But Billy Hunter, the vice president of the players union, said: "We believe that only a few teams are in a loss state. They publish this data just to make more money."

So whether the team is making money or losing money, no one knows.

Because of money issues, a lot of proposals such as a hard salary cap have been involved.

The composition of the Heat's Big Three must make small teams jealous.All the stars have gone to play with you, who will watch our games.

If you don't watch our games, how much money do we make?

The most effective way to solve the problem of star grouping is to implement a hard salary cap.

The NBA now implements a soft salary cap. Although there is a salary cap to limit the team's expenses, there are still many ways to overtake signed players.

How many serious championship teams are not overly risky?

The so-called hard salary cap means that the salary cap is as much as the salary cap stipulates, and it must not be exceeded. Everyone has the same space. Even if you have money, you can’t pretend to be a boss.

Originally, this was just a problem between the players and the league, but as soon as the hard salary cap proposal came out, good guy, the boss and the boss didn't agree.

Some bosses said that I just have money and love to burn money. You don’t care if I’m super risky or not.

I recharge some money to get a better gaming experience, where did I go wrong?Paul Allen bought a full-level number to play and won the championship. Did you see what Cuban said?

Cuban: What I'm short of is not the money to buy a full-level account, I can't find a full-level account to buy it!If so, I'll wholesale ten of them!

And some bosses just cry about being poor, everyone earns money together, and no one is here to be a leek for anyone.Those who co-authored with you who paid money have game experience, and those who don’t charge money will be treated as an NPC and be experienced in the game?
You see, this is a typical case where there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

Then, around a word of money, it has now evolved into a three-party melee.

There is no unanimous opinion among the bosses, so what is there to talk about.

What else can Wayne say?Damn capitalism!
So Wayne didn't bother to get involved in this kind of money matter, even if Wayne got involved, there was no way for both parties to make concessions.

And, most importantly,
people creampie,

A traitor!

The current chairman of the players union, Fisher Fisher, is just a [-]-year-old boy.

Do you think he only does things like green friends?No, that's all small talk.

In Wayne's view, Old Fish is one of the worst players in league history.

When Lao Yu was in the Warriors, he said that he would leave the team because of his daughter's eye disease, and he might even leave the court. Anyway, he was full of snot and tears at the time.

The management of the Warriors is also very humane. Lao Yu deserves to be a responsible and good father!Such a good comrade, we must give the green light!

As a result, after the Warriors released him, Lao Yu immediately announced that he had joined his former team, the Lakers, and got two rings with Yao Ming.

In the original history, Lao Yu joining the Thunder was also a routine. After signing with the Mavericks, he told Cuban that he wanted to accompany his family and hoped to withdraw from the league, so he retired.

As a result, he immediately turned around and signed for Thunder, wanting to get another ring with his second brother, which has no credibility at all.

Green teammate will not talk about this, everyone knows it.Don't look at the relationship between Laoyu and Naka for so many years, but Laoyu rarely invites Laoyu to his home.

Chattering is to prevent anything, everyone understands it.It can only be said that Naga is worthy of being a defensive back, showing his strong defensive ability everywhere.

Barnes has almost no experience in this area, so as a villain, he became the famous Hulk in the league.

In the future, Hardaway Jr. of the Knicks would torture his girlfriend's soul: "Baby, tell me the truth about whether you and Fisher have had an affair. If you don't ask clearly, I will panic every day."

However, the most out-of-the-ordinary thing about Lao Yu was this labor negotiation. As the chairman of the players association, he was suspected of secretly compromising with the bosses.

Because in the later stage of the negotiation, Fisher didn't listen to the players' suggestions at all, but suddenly gave in everywhere, so that the vice chairman Hunter directly questioned Lao Yu's series of infernal behaviors during the negotiation.

It is obvious to this point that it is impossible for you to say that there is no PY transaction.

So he was jointly fired by everyone soon after.

It has to be Wei Ge's eldest son Sanpao who is reliable to be the chairman.

This old fish is a typical beast in clothes, there is nothing he can't do.

This guy's character is really bad to the extreme.

This kind of guy is in front of the chairman of the players union, what can you do?

Anyway, Wayne knew that it would definitely be resolved in the end, and the players' wages were not particularly affected after that.

So Wayne really doesn't want to get involved in this matter, you guys are arguing slowly, I'd better draft well.

Although it may be unemployed for a while, our old Wei's family is not that bad now.

Stern forced a smile on his face, went on stage and said a lot of nonsense, and then announced the official start of the draft.

Hurry up and start, there is still a PY meeting with Lao Yu after it's over!
The 2011 draft officially began, and the first few picks basically remained unchanged.

The No. [-] Scholar is the greatest intelligence in the universe, Kelly Owen, a top student at Duke University, and a famous geological research expert.

With the second pick, the Blind Wolf continued to fight to the death and selected another dubious forward, Derek Williams. Wayne didn't even know how old Wayne was.

Well, Derek Williams is false if you say he has no talent, but the Timberwolves, an unlucky team, have their own problems, and it's useless to choose anyone.

With the third pick, the Jazz took Kanter.

Wayne, who was sitting in the private room, really wanted to ask, "What are you choosing here?"

The top three this year except Irving are outrageous!

The fourth-ranked knight won the eight-star and eight-diamond Eight Sage Kings.Alright, that's all for the championship lineup.

After that, until the tenth pick, the high-profile Blazers finally had to make a choice.

Klay Thompson was very nervous. He knew that the Blazers were interested in him. He knew that Wei Ge looked at him very special that day!

If I can recognize Wayne as a godfather, I am afraid that I, the 360° dunk master Tom, will not be able to get away in the league?

Isn't it nice to be able to lead the championship as soon as you enter the league!
In fact, Wayne was looking at him with the mentally handicapped eyes all that day, and those eyes must be special.
That's right, Thompson himself really wanted to join the Blazers, because his No. [-] father started his career in the Blazers.

Although Thompson was born, his father had already transferred to the Lakers, but the family often returned to Portland to live.

So Ah Tang grew up in Los Angeles and Portland, and Portland is half of his hometown.

Watching Stern take the stage, Ah Tang was so nervous that he was sweating.

The other 29 teams are also very nervous. The Blazers are so strong, why should they choose evildoers?

The Clippers are pig teammates, this wave of heads is really fucked!
Clippers: I bet [-] cents they can't pick any decent rookie!

"With the 2011th overall pick in the 10 NBA Draft, the Portland Trail Blazers selected. Klay Thompson, from Washington State University!"

The moment Stern pronounced his name, Wayne almost jumped up when he saw Thompson below.

Good guy, why didn't you jump so high during the joint trial training?
Thompson rushed onto the stage excitedly, took the black baseball cap, and quickly put it on his head, as if afraid of being snatched away.

At the same time, Thompson was still watching the big screen, fearing that he would be traded away in the next second.

Because there are rumors in the market that the Blazers, as a championship team, may use this draft pick for immediate combat power.

So Ah Tang's heart, the speed is 180 per hour.

After shaking hands with Stern, Ah Tang stepped off the stage nervously.

Then, I met a reporter from CCTV—because of Wayne's relationship, the Blazers' selection in this year's draft is a concern of many Chinese fans.

Director Zhang spoke fluent English: "It's our first meeting, I'm Zhang Weiping, a famous comedian! Clay, tell me how you feel! Being selected by the Trail Blazers, how do you feel now?"

Facing the camera, Thompson froze for a moment, then looked at the big screen at the scene and found that he had not been traded yet.

This.
It's come true! ?

"I am very excited! To be able to join the championship team, there is no better result than this!"

"Hahaha, Chinese fans like you very much, and they all think that you can become Wayne's right-hand man in the future!"

Chinese fans: We didn't say that!
"Really, really? Oh, I hate~"

Wayne, Carlisle, and Patterson wiped their sweat while watching Thompson being interviewed.

Nima, what does your enchanting expression mean!
There's something wrong with this kid's designation!
Trail Blazers Psycho?
The other 29 teams also breathed a sigh of relief. Thompson can be said to be quite talented, just a shooter.

If the Blazers choose one like this, it shouldn't be against the sky. We still have a chance.

Wayne smiled: Well, we are not against the sky, we are every day!
But having said that, now that Curry has a human deception award, Wayne has enough headaches.

now the whole thompson
Splash fit, is that okay?
Well, the trend of the Trail Blazers developing in the direction of sand sculpture is irreversible.

Never mind him, as long as he wins.

Ah Tang was already an excellent shooter in his first season, but his defense was quite stretched.

Thompson's excellent defense is the result of hard work the day after tomorrow.

All in all, Thompson needs to believe in a wave of process in order to fully grow.

But even if Tom will only play as a substitute next season, it will be a great supplement.

Don't forget, Tielin and Finsen over there have already left Novice Village, and they can play for a season or two first.

With the subsequent 11th pick, the Bucks picked away the lonely god Fredette, which also means that the 76ers' pick basically belongs to the Blazers.

Facial paralysis guy, come to the bowl quickly!
At this time, the old thief Vicky jumped in a hurry.

He has been bidding with the Blazers for a long time, but the Blazers have two first-round picks and the Spurs have only one.

Therefore, if the Spurs want to bid successfully, they must produce players.

The digital people named George Hill, who is known as Parker Jr. Last season, Hill averaged 11.6 points per game as a substitute. His efficiency is not bad, and he is considered worthy of training.

Hill himself is talented, and he became famous in high school. He was also known as the "Indian Seven" along with Oden, Conley, Josh McRoberts, Rodney Carney, Yuan Dengden and Courtney Lee, and his statistics in college were not bad.

If it weren't for his height of only 188, he would never have fallen to the end of the first round.

And Hill's performance in the playoffs is often better than in the regular season. After all, he is just a substitute in the regular season, and he will often play a more important role in the playoffs.

Last season's most improved player, he ranked second.

This old thief, Pidaoweiqi, is also reluctant to give it up.

Rod Thorne chuckled, I want me to think, you don't want you to think.

Seeing that the old thief was not sincere, Rod Thorne made a deal before the 12th pick.

"He gave it to the Blazers!?" The old thief looked at the transaction information on the big screen and almost got mad.

"Yes, what's the matter!" Budenholzer was also anxious, and it would be fine if the Blazers were not optimistic about Leonard.

If the Blazers are optimistic, it means that Leonard must have potential!
Have the Blazers ever lost sight of it?Look at when they drafted Curry, the whole world didn't know what they picked.

The results of it?Curry has assisted Wayne to win the championship this season!

So Leonard must have hidden secrets, as long as he finds his instruction manual, he will definitely be able to do something.

"What the hell, what the hell do I know what the hell is going on! That Sabi bastard, is he out of his mind? What time is it, and he's still assisting the Blazers!" Vicky is so angry. Today, he has a deep understanding of what it means to not be afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs.

Thorne said that it was only the 15th overall pick in a young draft year, wouldn't that be enough, would that be an assist?
In a trance, at the 12th pick, the Jazz won Burks, and it seems that they are about to reach the 15th pick.

In a hurry, the old thief is in a hurry.

He called Phoenix City with one phone call, asking for support, asking for support!

Phoenix City said that it is okay to support you, old thief, and put aside the stupid things you did to the sun in the past.

But if you don't pay for this support, I'm afraid you won't feel at ease, right?
Well, the general manager of the Suns at this time is the general manager of the Dream Team and the son of the future chairman of the American Basketball Association, Brian Colangino.

If Cole is still at the helm now, then the old thief can still save face.

But Colangino is not fuel-efficient, etc. I don’t care what Vichy is, it doesn’t work well here.

Either pay out the chips, or crawl away!

"Oh, your father and I are so close."

"We're about to start the draft, Pop." Colangino Jr. wasn't going to do it at all.

The old thief has a lot of connections in the basketball circle, but Chacha and Colangino, the big butler of the dream team, are at odds with each other.

In 2005, Colangino's dream team selected coaches, and Vicki and Old K entered the finals.

In the end, the old K won and has been the coach until now. Colangino’s reason at the time was: “When I talked to the old coach K about coaching the national team, he was so excited that he almost jumped over the phone. But when I was talking to Popovich, I didn’t feel that kind of enthusiasm.”

The old thief respects the old coach K very much, but he is very upset about Colangelo questioning his lack of enthusiasm in public, which can be described as violent.

At that time, Vicky’s old thief wrote an open letter against Colangino. The meaning of the letter can be summed up in one sentence: "If you dare to question my desire and enthusiasm for the men's basketball coach, you should be careful. In addition, never mention my name again!"

Well, so Colangino and the old thief, if you insist on personal relationship, it's not that good
So if he does this now, little Colangino will definitely not eat it.

When the old thief heard that his seniority didn't work, he hurriedly inquired.

There was no time left, no time to drag on with Colangino any longer.

Colangino Jr. is also an open-minded person. When he opened his mouth, he said a first-round pick + George Hill + Gary Neal + DeJuan Blair. He wrote the word robbery directly on his face. It can be said that he has exhausted all the potential stocks of the Spurs.

And because Neil and Blair are undrafted and the other is a second-round pick, and their salaries are not high, the Suns can even out this deal with only one Brooks.

It was a robbery.

In normal times, draft picks + Brooks may not even be able to change George Hill.

But now not only can you get it, but you can get more.

"I'm a young man who doesn't talk about martial arts! Come and lie to an old comrade like me, is that okay? That's not good!" The old thief was dumbfounded at the time, this nima is worse than a digital person!
The Nancun group of children bullied me to be weak! This is it!

Obviously, it can be exchanged with the draft pick + Hill, but because of hesitation, Neil and Blair are needed!

If you don't open your eyes, both Neil and Blair do have potential.

Last season, Neal averaged close to 20 points per game in 10 minutes of playing time, and his three-point shooting percentage was 40%.

Blair is the MVP of the rookie game. He is the first player after Duncan to hit double-20 data in his rookie season. Not long ago, in April, he also scored 4 points and 27 rebounds.

The Spurs' draft has never looked at the pick, so no one dares to say how high the upper limit of these two is.

The Suns just want to gamble. If they don’t trade, they can only bet on one this year.After the deal, you can bet four at a time.

It's not delicious.

Little Colangino is clearly robbing, there is no way, anyway, he is almost at the 15th pick, you like to trade and trade, and if you don’t trade, just ask, anyway, I am not in a hurry.

This kind of looting happens every year in the NBA.

The old thief swallowed and glanced at Budenholzer.

Is it worth paying so many people for Leonard?

Originally, the old thief wanted to ask the 14th pick Mosaic, but he thought that Gou Lei was not a thing, and he was afraid that it was even darker than Colangino.

The old thief did some research. To be honest, Hill, Neil and Blair may be excellent players, but none of them can solve the urgent needs of the Spurs.

What the Spurs really need is a perimeter defensive core. With someone who can replace Bowen, the team can take off again!

"Pop, why don't you go to another house and ask." Little Colangino waited for a long time, but the old thief didn't speak, so he decided to terminate the transaction.

"Wait, I'll change, I can't change! Take all my people away, hurry up!" The old thief gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, Stud!
So, it's the 13th pick.

Stern took the stage, and Wayne was still chatting with Carlisle about labor negotiations.

As a result, the accident happened.

"With the 2011th overall pick in the 13 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns selected... Kawhi Leonard from San Diego State University!"

"Ward hair!?" Carlisle was stunned, what does Sun's operation mean?
Wayne is very calm, what else can this mean?The old thief is studded.

But after seeing the trading chips, Wayne almost burst out laughing.

You old thief also has today.

A person who was traded for George Hill back then, now has so many more bargaining chips!

The digital people are also stupid, damn it, if I knew the old thief was so generous, I would have endured it!
Wayne, who has opened his eyes, knows that although the old thief is bleeding profusely, the exchange of Leonard is really not a loss.

After all, what they got in exchange was the top ten players in the league in the future. Can those guys reach this level?

Speaking of which, it's the 13th pick again.
The 13th pick is the talent.

But now the old thief doesn't know this, he is heartbroken, and he may feel that the Leonard he got is not so good.

Thinking of the old thief who is in pain now, Wayne is very happy~
Money can't buy you unhappy.

Don't ask why Wayne can still smile, ask because Wayne has a big heart.

That's right, Leonard's going to the Spurs has to be said to be a loss.

Not blowing or black, Spurs with Kawaii and Spurs without Kawaii are two concepts.

Without the facial paralysis guy, there would be no championship at the end of GDP's career. He is irreplaceable for the Spurs.

Missing Leonard gave Wayne another formidable enemy.

But if the Spurs trembled with fear and stamped their feet in anger just because the Spurs got Leonard Wayne, what is the active No. 1?
You can do whatever you want, Lao Tzu Gao Dewei!
So what if I give you a Leonard?If your Spurs become stronger, I will still beat you!
It's good to have Leonard, but without Leonard, it's not like this thing can't be done.

In the final analysis, I, Godway, am the subject of consecutive championships.

It's just one less assistant, no problem!

Lao Zhan: What about me?

Wayne: Don't worry, I will win you too!
Lao Zhan: No, no, I want you to join the team
Leonard eventually went to the Spurs, but Popovich was deflated.

It's enough to make that guy goofy, Wayne thinks.

"It's okay, we still have Jimmy." Wayne patted Carlisle and Patterson on the shoulders.

"The guy who looks like Jordan? You don't really think he's Jordan's kid, do you? You don't think he can really inherit Jordan's potential, do you?"

"Then who knows? Our Chinese son is like Lao Tzu, but your American son is not like Lao Tzu? Then what if he is. Don't worry, Jimmy will be useful." Wayne shook his head, seeing how frustrated you are.

The dog's draft process was skipped directly. With the 15th overall pick, people were speculating whether the Blazers would take Vucevic. As a result, Stern pronounced a name that many people didn't even know.

"With the 2011th overall pick in the 15 NBA Draft, the Portland Trail Blazers selected...Jimmy Butler, out of Marquette!"

"Who is this person!?"

"Fuck, Jordan II?"

"Good guy, this little short hand is probably useless."

"I think the Blazers are drafting blindly. Anyway, they don't need too many rookies."

For a while, there was a lot of discussion.

Butler stood up in surprise. He thought that he was called to Portland for a trial training that day, just to make up the numbers so that he could easily fight for a game.

You really choose!

One dares to go, the other dares to choose.

After Stern finished reading his name, he smiled awkwardly.

Because he was not in the little green house at all.

Since the prediction is a second-round pick, a few of them heard the draft results at home.

He embraced excitedly with his adoptive mother, and he could become the first player selected after the lottery, something he never imagined in his life.

What made him even more unexpected was that a superstar like Wayne actually sent him a text message immediately.

"Get ready, you will have a very hard time this summer. If you admit it, then you will be mediocre for the rest of your life. If you don't want to admit it, then you will work three times harder than ordinary people."

Wei Ge's chicken soup cooking skills are also getting better and better.

A few are flattered, so what else to say, it must be O Jiebao K!
Brother Wei, I can train you to death, do you believe it!

Many people are laughing, saying that the Blazers are crazy.In fact, even some local Portland fans don't understand.

why?
Why draft a player with such a low projected pick?
Well, they only saw the flaws in Butler.

Poor shooting, poor static talent.

But everyone ignored the last sentence on Butler's scouting report: "...Combined with his positive attitude and personality, if he continues to improve his outside shooting ability, he may be a surprise in his class."

When you read the draft report, everyone pays attention to physical talent, but in fact, mental attributes are really important.

For example, in Wiggins' draft report, the first shortcoming is "The biggest question is whether Wiggins has enough mental quality to maximize his huge physical talent."

Many people dismiss this as nonsense.

But this one has solidly turned Wiggins into Brother Goji.

So go ahead and laugh.

My little brother Legion of Wayne, this hardness is getting better and better.

Hard, Wayne likes it.
