NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1296 New Season Lineup

"Nash joined the Lakers with a three-year $3 million contract. The Lakers traded Parker. The number one position is not strong enough."

Griffin reminded.

"This Lin Shuhao is an undrafted pick, how is his strength?" Seeing Lin Shuhao's name, Li Ba asked casually.

Payton introduced: "15+3+6, and an average of 1.6 steals per game, the strength is still there."

"Why didn't the team renew his contract?" Li Ba asked suspiciously.

David Griffin explained: "Hammer, although the boss, uh, I mean Mr. Savor, although he doesn't want to sign you anymore, our management still hopes that you can come back, so in terms of contract renewal, We are a little passive, afraid to offer a big contract, and want to leave some space for you.

We actually opened a contract for him, which is a full middle class. He and his agent are still waiting for offers from other teams. It is said that they are negotiating with the Mosaic team. The general manager of the Mosaic team, Mo Lei, offered a contract. A 4-year 2800 million contract, we are now also considering matching this contract. "

"4 million in 2800 years?"

Li Ba nodded. With Lin Shuhao's performance, he was qualified for this contract, so he didn't ask any more questions.

In addition to these two people, Haslem also left after the end of the contract, and the Polish hammer was traded away last season.

In addition, Ray Allen's contract has also ended, and he is currently a free agent.

Centers: Li Ba, Andre Drummond.

Forwards: Gasol, Jimmy Butler, Chandler Parsons, Kenneth Faried
Guards: Ginobili, Jordan Hamilton, Norris Cole.

At present, the Suns only have 9 contract players, and some players need to be signed.

Payton said: "Ginobili averaged only a little over 10 minutes per game last season, averaging 13+3+4 per game. He will definitely be on the bench this season."

"Manu still started last season?" Li Ba asked with a smile.

"Yes, we don't have manpower, he can only start." Payton shrugged and smiled, and then he continued to introduce the situation of other players:
"Jordan Hamilton's potential is mediocre. If our goal for the new season is a championship, then his strength and rotation will be a bit difficult."

"We always have only one goal." Li Ba said.

Payton nodded and said: "Then we'd better trade him. Then, Norris Cole's strength is also average. He, Hamilton and Butler were all rookies last year. It's useless for us to keep him."

"Then let's make a deal. The bench lineup is still very important, and we need a few good role players." Li Ba said.

Payton added: "But the forward rookie we selected is still good. Chandler Parsons was also a rookie last year. He averaged 29 minutes per game and played 10+4+2. I think the potential is not bad. We can consider staying. come down."

Li Ba took a look at Parsons' physical data. He is 208 cm tall with shoes on and weighs 104 kg.

He can’t make a mid-range shot, and he can’t do nearly two points. This shows that the closer he is to the paint, the stronger his defensive pressure, the success rate drops sharply. In other words, the lack of confrontation ability is also a common problem of white players. No black player can handle it.

But it can still be used. Inside players have three-pointers, which is a must-have technology in this era. It should still be possible to play rotation.

"Kenneth Faried was also a rookie last year. He is not bad. He was able to play 22+10 in 8 minutes last season. He also averaged one block per game. His weakness is that his offense is all under the basket and has no shooting ability. The ability is good, the offense is weak and the defense is strong." Payton continued to introduce.

"It's okay to be a substitute." Li Ba nodded.

Payton added: "The last rookie, Jimmy Butler, was also a rookie last year. He was picked at the end of the first round. His style is also offensive and defensive, and his defense is very active. Last season, he averaged 8.5 minutes per game and played 2.6+ 1.1 data, limited potential."

"What about the defensive end?" Li Ba asked casually.

"0.3+0.1, the blocking and stealing abilities are average, but the defensive attitude is positive." Payton said.

Li Ba looked at his profile and found that he was only 201 centimeters tall, weighed 104 kilograms, and had a wingspan of 202 centimeters.

This physical condition really limits the performance of the defensive end.

Griffin said in a regretful tone at this time: "During the draft last year, we wanted to select Kawhi Leonard, a player under the master. He has the same body as Jimmy Butler, but his wingspan has reached 221 cm. Physical condition Great, and also have a pair of super big hands, just like you."

"Really?" Li Ba smiled, he didn't know these young people.

Kawhi Leonard is Gao Yuanyuan's player, but he doesn't know him. He hasn't held a fly-catching training camp in the United States for several years, and he doesn't know any young players.

Griffin added: "Andre Drummond is the rookie we selected in the first round at No. 7 this year. This pick is what we traded Kwame Brown and Milicic from the Warriors. Can play, he moves well, hopefully we'll be lucky."

"Are you very optimistic about him?"

Li Ba smiled. He could tell that Griffin was looking forward to this rookie.

He took a look at the profile of this young man. He is 211 cm tall naked and weighs 127 kg. He is tall and strong with a long arm (129 cm arm span), and his fat percentage is lower than that of this year's No. 2011 pick, Anthony Davis. The top rookie in the United States, able to block shots, averaged 2012 blocks per game in the 2.7-[-] college season, has excellent mobility, runs back and forth from the baseline faster than top guards such as Westbrook and Irving, and has excellent strength.

On the defensive end, he can use his pace to complete the blocking. At the same time, he is also a rebounding machine. He uses tonnage and strength to defend well, and his defensive ability is second.

The shortcomings are also very obvious, and the technology is rough.

No range on the shot, offense all in the paint, mostly around the rim, mediocre near-basket shot, terrible free throws, and poor post-up skills.

Overall, it is very similar to Li Ba in his rookie season.

"His template is you." Griffin laughed.

"it's me again?"

Li Ba seems to remember that this year's No. [-] pick, Anthony Davis, is also the template.

"Then we don't have much shortage of insiders, and we mainly trade guards, right?" Li Ba asked.

Griffin and Payton looked at each other and nodded.

"Then act quickly, who are there in the free market now?" Li Ba asked.

Griffin took out a list with dozens of people. This is the list of free market players this year.

Li Ba took a look. At the point guard position, there are Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, Deron Williams, Russell Westbrook, Lin Shuhao, Nash, Kidd, Billups, Sinley Qi, Bibby et al.

Among them, Paul, Nash, Westbrook, and Billus have signed new contracts, and their names have been crossed out.
