From today on is the king

Chapter 1255 1254. The most deserted draft conference (710 ask for a monthly ticket)
For many years, there has never been a draft with such low attention. Because of the Ace clause, the draft with low attention has become even lower.

On the night of June 6, the draft started smoothly.

The Raptors used the No. [-] pick to select Andre Bargnani. Before the draft, the Bulls suddenly gave up the choice. Instead, they used this first-round pick to reach a deal with the Trail Blazers.

Everyone knows that the second place must be Aldridge, but the Bulls have so many stars that even Eddie Curry can give up in vain. In terms of name, Eddie Curry is much more famous than Aldridge.

The Knicks didn't have a single draft pick this year. They went to the Bulls unprotected in the first round and went to the Eagles in the second round.

The Knicks management really wanted this No. [-] pick, but the Bulls abandoned it like a shoe.

The third pick... Boss Joe stretched out his evil hand again and took Adam Morrison away.

Liu Mang watched Adam Morrison sitting next to his agent on TV excitedly hugging Jordan, and could only say in his mind: Teacher, I am sorry for you...

Schwartz managed to grab one of Aldridge and Adam Morrison, the two most popular rookies this year, but he grabbed Adam Morrison.

Just like the Eagles management tried to use Iguodala plus the No. 16 pick to trade the No. 4 pick with the Trail Blazers, but was rejected, and the trade for the No. 5 pick was also rejected.

Then...Adam Morrison was recommended to Jordan by Schwartz...

Seeing that Qiao Dan is still very happy, Liu Mang silently feels sorry for his teacher...

Now not many people think that Jordan made the wrong choice. Although Adam Morrison has diabetes, he is too strong in college. He averaged 28 points per game in his senior year... 50.00% shooting from the field, 40.00% from the three-point range, and 90.00% from the free throw line.

Schwartz, a rookie who is definitely in the top five, signed it. It is impossible for Liu Mang to let Schwartz terminate the contract. The commission is hundreds of thousands.

I can only feel sorry for the teacher.

Little Lolita was watching the news together, and saw Liu Mang's disgusted expression when he looked at the close-up of Adam Morrison, and said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle, Morrison is very powerful, you can't discriminate against him just because he is white!"

It was these words again, Liu Mang felt strange, these white people must have persecution paranoia!It would be great not to be discriminated against by you, who would dare to discriminate against you.

Liu Mang stared at the little Lolita for a long time, looking at the little Lolita fluffy.

"Uncle, what do you want to do?" Little Lolita asked vigilantly.

"It's okay, I just want to say, Dinah, let me see if you find a boyfriend in the future, your vision is too bad." Liu Mang joked.

"Huh?" Little Loli didn't understand.

"Look at you, the Australian center you are optimistic about..."

"...Uncle, let's watch the draft..."

Seeing the Blazers' fourth and fifth picks, they first used their team's No. [-] pick plus the right to sign a European player to get Aldridge, and then used the Warriors' No. [-] pick to get Brandon Roy. Liu Mang was jealous.

The top three picks are not willing to be changed, and the Bulls are the least likely to change. The fourth and fifth picks are in the hands of the Blazers. Liu Wei watched the Blazers select Aldridge and Roy.

The two strongest were selected away, and the rest were not worth much attention. The No.16 pick of the Eagles chose Rajon Rondo, who was originally predicted to be at the end of the first round. In the first round of the second round, the Eagles selected Millsap. The eighth pick in the second round selected Ryan Hollins.

There were two options, Novak and Tucker, but unless Tucker played like the Rockets more than ten years later, he would be miserable in the early stage. Playing power forward, he seemed fast and able to resist.

If it is really necessary, when he is cut and can't play, he can come for a trial training.

In a draft that didn't have much turmoil, fans discussed whether Liu Mang, Wade, James, and Yao Ming would ask to use the Ace clause, all of which were more heated than this draft.

……

On June 6, the second day of the draft, Liu Mang received a notice from Schwartz asking him to return to Atlanta to discuss a salary increase with the team.

Schwartz was communicating with the team to reassure the Eagles that Liu Mang didn't care too much about it and told them not to worry, but Price didn't think so!He can have what he is today, relying on Liu Mang, nothing else.

After the draft ended, he returned to Atlanta from New York, and immediately asked the team's lawyers to calculate Liu Mang's remaining 2+1 contract.

When Liu Mang returned, a drafted new contract was ready, 1763 million + 2003 million + 2240 million US dollars. The remaining three years of Liu Mang's contract have been greatly improved. The later the year, the higher the increase ratio.

All of a sudden, Liu Mang became the sixth highest paid star in the league, surpassing Kobe, Duncan, Nowitzki, etc...

However, this is only a draft, and it can only be achieved after the league announces the details of the terms in the summer and the team owners vote to pass them.

As for the players union...they certainly won't say no.

Watching Liu Mang leave, Price was very tired. When the American cable TV station made this incident, it scared him. Luckily, Liu Mang didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.

Raising Liu Mang's salary is not a big deal, but the rules do not allow it.

The team's profit is 4400 million, but Liu Mang's value is far more than 4400 million. If the league really agrees that Liu Mang can get 3200 ​​million a year in addition to the luxury tax like Jordan did, Price will definitely give it.

Seeing that the Rockets dropped from fifth in net profit in 04-05 to ninth in 05-06, this is the first year Yao Ming left, it's so obvious.

Liu Mang's problem was solved, Schwartz dialed a number, the draft is over, that matter needs to be resolved quickly!
