NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

With Zhou Yao's full support, Joe David was finally elected governor of North Carolina.

Soon, construction began on a new arena in Charlotte.

It is expected to be put into use in 2007.

And after some bidding.

An investment group, mainly composed of wealthy African Americans, has acquired ownership of a new team in Charlotte.

After voting.

The new team was named the Charlotte Bobcats.

……

Jordan finally got his wish to become one of the bosses.

However, the process of Jordan's joining was full of twists and turns.

Moreover, the investment group also put forward harsh conditions for Jordan.

Jordan needs to pay $4300 million in cash immediately.

But it was not directly used to buy shares, but to sign a gambling agreement.

Jordan only gets 5% of the stock.

At the same time, he also served as the team manager and won the management rights of the Bobcats for 3 years.

During these 3 years.

If the team fails to break into the playoffs, Jordan will lose the management rights of the team.

Only the shares are reserved.

If the team can reach the playoffs.

Jordan's stake will be expanded to 20 percent without paying any money.

If the team can reach the finals.

Jordan's stake will be expanded to 51 percent without paying any money.

At the same time, Jordan can also pay another 1 million US dollars to obtain the remaining shares of the team.

For a newly formed team.

Not to mention reaching the finals, it is almost impossible to reach the playoffs.

The two new teams in the league are the Raptors and the Grizzlies.

The Raptors were lucky and got Carter, but they didn't make the playoffs until their fifth year in the league.

The Grizzlies have never tasted the playoffs until now.

Besides, so what if they make it to the playoffs.

Jordan paid $4300 million.

A 20% stake in Bobcats isn't worth that much.

……

The league is still good for the Bobcats this time.

Teams need players.

The league stipulates that the other 29 teams each have a protection list of 8 people.

Players outside the protection list can be selected by the Bobcats.

For this reason, the league will hold a small-scale draft for the Bobcats.

After the free market opens, the Bobcats can also trade for players on their own.

At the same time, the league also gave the Bobcats two draft picks.

Allow the Bobcats to participate in the draft.

Of course, the league also has restrictions on this new team.

Other teams have salary caps as high as $4400 million.

As a new team, the Bobcats have a salary cap of less than 3000 million.

With such a small amount of money, it is simply whimsical to find good players.

……

Everyone is watching how Jordan plans to run the team.

The first is to choose players.

"55 Phoenix Suns, Jahidi White."

Sure enough, the first ones to be picked are always those tall and strong inside players.

Moreover, this was one of the contributors to the Wizards' championship.

Jordan is also familiar with him.

However, White's knee has just undergone a major surgery.

He missed most of the season with the Suns last season.

Although he is only 28 years old, he still has much combat power.

Moreover, this guy was a wizard who left because he wanted a salary increase.

The annual salary next season is 810 million.

Is Jordan being so lavish as a boss?

Is this a plan to exceed the salary cap in the first season?

"Toronto Raptors, Matt Bonner."

Everyone expressed doubts.

Jordan chose an air?

However, some people still have an impression of this white power forward.

He was selected by the Bulls in the second round last year and was immediately traded to the Raptors.

Actually went to play in Europe.

Because of this, the Raptors don't pay much attention to such a player.

"Los Angeles Lakers No. 10, Tyronn Lue."

Another former Wizards player.

To put it nicely, Jordan is nostalgic.

To put it bluntly, Jordan is cronyism and only trusts the old team who followed him to win the championship.

Next, another bunch of dispensable role player names.

People are waiting for that person's name to come up.

Because of a serious injury before, the boss of the Wizards was very careless and didn't put his name on the 8-man protection list.

In other words, as long as Jordan wants, he can call out that person's name at any time.

But, does Jordan really dare to take such a risk?

The draft conference held specifically for the Bobcats has come to an end.

at last.

"Washington Wizards No. 22, Zhou Yao."

Sure enough, Jordan was still reluctant to part with his apprentice.

……

Next, it's time for the real draft.

The Bobcats were lucky, getting the No. 4 pick in the first round and the No. 33 pick in the second round.

through the transaction.

The Bobcats won the 14th and 15th picks in the first round and the 31st and 60th picks in the second round.

"What is Jordan doing?"

"The quality of this year's rookies is average?"

"Does he think that if he has too many signatures, he can find treasures?"

The media expressed doubts about Jordan's operation.

The answer was quickly revealed.

The Bobcats selected Josh Smith with the 14th pick.

A high school striker.

The 15th pick selected Jr. Smith.

A shooting guard who went through a bunch of schools and was also a high school student.

The Bobcats' pick at No. 31 was Trevor Ariza.

A small forward who couldn't even be considered famous in college.

The No. 60 pick is even more outrageous.

Shan Mao's choice is Yan Xingshu.

Even played in the professional league.

But a super-old rookie who is almost 28 years old.

Is this really good?

Some journalists with good memories suddenly realized something.

Start looking up information immediately.

Sure enough, the brokerage contracts of these people were all signed to Zhou Yao.

Jordan can no longer be said to be nepotism.

Are the two masters and apprentices planning to dominate the world in the Bobcats?

So what if they really let them do it.

Will such a team formed by nepotism really have combat effectiveness?

The draft has just ended.

Many people have given up any hope for the Bobcats' future.

At least, Jordan has been in charge of the Bobcats for the past 3 years, so don't expect to make the playoffs.

It would be great to be able to guarantee not to create the worst record in NBA history.

……

Accompanied Jordan to participate in the draft.

Zhou Yao returned home.

We're going to play in the Olympics this year.

At the end of July, the Diamond Cup will be played.

It's just different from before.

The national team participated in the Diamond Cup this year, not as the champion of the Asian Championships.

Instead, compete as the world champion.

Even the Qataris themselves can't think of it.

One day they can also participate in the Diamond Cup as the runner-up of the Asian Championships.

This kind of competition is naturally the most active time for scouts.

And what everyone can't think of is.

Zhou Yao, who was considered abolished, was extremely active.

While personally winning the scoring title, he also led the national team to win the Diamond Cup.

"in my opinion."

"Wizards management may have made a big mistake."

"They let Shanmao get Zhou Yao so easily."

"Next season's game may be very exciting."

It has been almost a year since Zhou Yao was flattered.

Barkley is also fully fired this time...
