Reboot McGrady

Chapter 182 Chapter 183
(Thanks for my reward for turning the past into tea!)

McGrady has already started a half-holiday rhythm. After returning from Los Angeles, he will participate in an interview with Cox TV, and then attend the championship float parade organized by the team.

What follows is the commercial endorsement activities of the sponsors. After these are completed, they can enter the holiday state.It will take about 10 days to complete the one-stop service, almost until the eve of the draft.

The time for the players to relax is the time for the team management to get busy.

Billy Knight was under a lot of pressure. He failed to win the best general manager for his wonderful performance last season, which made him feel that the reporters were not very discerning. "Tracey, what do you think, our second-round pick? Which player is better?"

The Eagles have already got the first round pick, and it is the No. [-] pick. The team has made it clear that they will choose Yao Ming, there is no doubt about it.Moreover, the team has found a house, a personal trainer, and an interpreter for Yao Ming, all of which are complete.

The second-round pick is not important to the winning team. Their most important goal is to maintain a stable lineup.

Looking back on the 2002 draft, Tracy McGrady didn't seem to have many eye-catching players.

"University of Florida, there is a big guy who is not too tall. I like it very much. He just graduated this year." McGrady pointed out, "But he should only be a second-round pick. If you just change the pick, you should be able to win it."

This player was undrafted in 2002. If the Eagles win, there is still good room for development in the future.And his style is quite fierce, not afraid of confronting tall and strong insiders, which has been well received.

He also thought about Boozer, but this guy is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. McGrady personally doesn't like it, so even if he is a second-round pick, he is not in the selection ranks.Of course, the current pick of the Eagles is the 8th pick in the second round, and the consideration of choosing McGrady is not a big problem.

"In this year's draft, we will get two inside players." Billy Knight looked at the name written by Tracy McGrady, he inspected it, and nodded.Although he is not optimistic about this player, if it can satisfy McGrady, that's enough.

"There are still a few players' contract renewal issues, and I would like to ask for your opinion." Billy Knight kept his posture low, with a smile on his face.

In the just-concluded season, owner Chambers rewarded him with 70 US dollars, which is the largest reward in the contract, and he is full of sincerity.

The team wins the championship, and all managers, including the general staff, get a handsome bonus.Aunt sweeping the floor has a reward of 5000 US dollars, and the team's jersey administrator also has a bonus of nearly 2 yuan.

McGrady's personal reward is 300 million U.S. dollars, and other first-line players also range from more than a million dollars.

Jackson received an additional reward of 120 million US dollars, which was almost his annual salary. Now, there was enough money to invite McGrady and Big Ben to enjoy life in Donimiga.

Player contract renewal is the biggest task of this summer.Keeping the structure stable, the Eagles are still full of competitiveness.

Jackson is what McGrady must keep, his loyal younger brother, he should be given a good contract.

Jason Terry is poor on defense. If he is a master of chaos and the leading player of the second team, he is very suitable.It's a pity that the team doesn't have enough salary space. If he is willing to stay with a contract around the middle class, it is naturally the best. If he doesn't want to, there is no way.

Ralph Alston is also facing the same problem. He is eager for a better contract, and other teams have offered him an olive branch. After all, being able to play in the finals has a special experience, which is still needed by many teams. .

He can get a contract of more than 100 million. In the season just ended, Alston, as a substitute for Billups, averaged 6 points, 2.4 assists and 1.3 rebounds per game. He is a relatively competent substitute player.

Battelle's contract, which is only one year old, has now expired. After winning the championship, there are also other teams eager to get this player who can limit O'Neal.The Spurs are the most sincere and are even willing to give a 2-year basic salary contract.

Ewing still has one year left on his contract, but his mentality has changed, saying that he will talk to Tracy McGrady before making a decision on the future.

Turkoglu's situation is much simpler. He is still in his rookie period and his contract is "3+1".This season, Turkoglu averaged 9.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2 assists per game. Like Terry, he is the pillar of the second team.

In the Eagles, Turkoglu and Terry averaged about 25 points per game, which has surpassed most teams' benches.

There is also Tyronn Lue, who also needs a contract. If a basic salary can be given, Tyronn Lue will definitely stay.

He is a smart player. Seeing Jackson and Ben, following Tracy McGrady to eat and drink, if he stays in the Hawks, his prospects will not be bad.

Many players have reached the contract period at the same time, and everyone wants to perform. In the season that just ended, the Eagles' combat effectiveness was fully stimulated.

McGrady took a sip of Lafite and looked at Billy Knight, "The main lineup remains stable. For the players on the bench, keep Laettner, Shedo and Tyronn Lue, and you can arrange the rest of the players."

AC Green is ready to officially retire. Ewing's situation is unknown. Even if Yao Ming is added inside, other substitutes are needed. Laettner is very suitable.The Hawks' rookies this year are all inside.

Next season, Hedo Turkoglu will appear more at the small forward position and become McGrady's substitute.

"If Laettner also wants to leave, he can leave." McGrady added that these veterans, he is not sure, if they win the championship, they will lose their fighting spirit, so it is better to abandon them early.

McGrady is eager to get more honors, not just a championship ring.

"I understand." Billy Knight thought for a while, with five main players, plus Yao Ming and Turkoglu, the inside line was swollen, and the outside line was a little lacking.Also introduce a point guard or shooting guard.

Calculate the personnel cost first, and then report to McGrady and the boss.

As soon as Billy Knight left, Ewing came over, "Tracey, it's great that you're here. I have something to discuss with you."

McGrady frowned, took out the camel bone box, took out a Gurkha Black Dragon, and handed it to Ewing.Then he cut the cigarette butt, roasted it for a while, and lit it slowly, "Want to retire? A championship ring, and suddenly found that there is no pursuit."

Ewing was stunned, and then laughed, "No wonder you are so popular, you can read people's hearts."

"In the Eagles, AC Green is the luckiest. He has 2 rings, but I also have 1 ring, and I got it against the Sharks. This is the glory of my life. I will treasure this championship ring." The ring won't be available until the start of next season, and Ewing is already envisioning what it might look like.

If he had been able to win the championship with the Knicks a few years ago, he would not have survived until now, but after joining the Hawks, he finally realized his dream.

"Thank you, Tracy!" Ewing said sincerely, and then lit his cigar, "In the past few days, at the Gold Club, I suddenly realized that at this age, I'm still working hard, so it's better to be cool for a few days. The wish of the champion has also come true."

"I respect your choice." McGrady texted Billy Knight, then looked at the gorilla, "The team will not agree to your retirement request, because you still have one year of contract. However, the team will You cut it off!"

After hearing this, Ewing's eyes were filled with tears, and he hugged Mai Di, "Thank you, Boss Mai".
