The finals with the least sense of existence is probably the 2002-03 season finals. Except for the first game, the fans had a sense of expectation, but when they saw the score of more than 70 to 70, in the second game, from the beginning

The ratings of more than a dozen points per game dropped directly to less than 5 points, creating a new low for the NBA since 1976. There are probably only a few fans in New Jersey and Texas who like this kind of game.

fans and basketball players, no one else is watching this year's finals.

All the fans' attention is focused on this year's draft workouts.

Although the Nets and Spurs are still playing in the Finals, the NBA can only say sorry to them. The joint workout for the draft is scheduled for June 22, the day of Game 5 of the Finals between the Spurs and Nets.

This year it's Chicago's turn to host the combine.

Considering that the Timberwolves have not had draft picks for many years and the team's salary has exploded, David Stern united with the NBA owners to hold a vote. Everyone gave it a face. In addition, the Timberwolves' record is so good, so

It will not affect the overall draft situation. The owners of 28 teams all agreed to lift the sanctions on the Timberwolves' draft pick penalty starting in 2003. Three years later, the Timberwolves finally had a first-round pick. Due to their record, they ranked second to the Spurs.

, Kings, Mavericks, Lakers, and Pistons, the Timberwolves received the 24th overall pick in the first round.

In addition to joint trials, various teams have also started their own trials, including the Spurs and Nets. Although the head coaches are busy, they have also found time to conduct one or two trials.

Various rookies began to be active in people's sight, and even suppressed the limelight of the finals.

What surprises people the most is that the person who has received the most invitations to try out from teams in the lottery is not LeBron James, but Carmelo Anthony, the winner of this year’s NCAA Final Four MVP, and the same agent as Liu Mang

Dwyane Wade, owned by the company, has become the biggest favorite to try out for teams in the lottery area.

If the Cavaliers released James as a must-select, many teams would not take any chances in selecting James, but Anthony and Wade became the favorites.

But I don’t know when it started, rumors began to circulate in various gossips that Bosh and European Milicic were the core of the team.

A wave of trolls began to emerge on the Internet. Following the same pattern that Liu Mang used to build momentum for Raheem, they began to hype Bosh as the next Garnett and Milicic as a healthy version of Sabonis, and the comments became more and more intense.

.

Slowly, Bosh, who was already popular, became as popular as Anthony and Wade for trial training. Milicic, a 17-year-old genius from Yugoslavia, was already very popular and received offers from former players including the Cavaliers.

Trial invitations to all teams with the tenth pick.

This year's draft resources have indeed made every team jealous and fans crazy. The influx of the 2003 generation seems to herald the future glory of the NBA.

…

"Sharif, your salary next year will be more than 12.7 million, right?"

"Yes, don't you want to renew your contract too?"

"Not yet, I'm worried about being traded."

"oh."

"Sharif, you are so inhumane! I am very worried now!"

"oh."

"...I won't play with you anymore, I'm going to find Ace."

…

"Ace, I have told my agent that I will reject invitations from other teams and wait until the finals are over to accept the qualifying offer. But are you sure I won't be sold by the team?"

"No, don't worry, you will have a big contract next year."

"Really?"

"real!"

"It won't be less than 8 million, right?"

"I don't think so. Isn't there a team that wants 8 million to poach you..."

"That's great. The starting salary is no less than 8 million. In two or three years, the annual salary will be tens of millions. But Ace, are you sure the team won't trade me? Someone seems to say that they will trade me for Carter. I don't want to

Go to that cold place..."

"Won't."

"Really?"

"Jason, stay away! It's so annoying! Sharif, get this guy out!"

Liu Mang really couldn't bear it anymore!

Jason Terry is too unfounded to worry about. The management contacted him and would renew his contract after the team's summer operations were over. They first provided him with a qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent.

, to avoid occupying too much of the salary cap and delaying the team's summer plans, but he was worried that he would be traded and went to complain to his teammates.

"Okay, okay, Jason, you don't have to worry anymore. It'll be okay if Ace says it's okay." Kevin Willis, a veteran, came to reassure him.

As a veteran who has been in the NBA for nearly 20 years, Kevin Willis knows how much power Liu Mang has in the Hawks. If Liu Mang is just talented and does not have such a big influence, but Liu Mang has not yet

He is already so strong when he turns 21. The key is the market that Liu Mang brings to the Hawks. According to media reports, the Hawks' market value increase this past season ranked first in the league, beating the Rockets.

After the Rockets acquired Yao Ming in the first year, the market value increased from US$120 million to US$200 million, while the value of the Hawks increased from US$150 million to nearly US$300 million. A consortium has already proposed to the consortium behind the Eagles to acquire the Hawks for US$300 million.

The team's plan was directly rejected by the consortium joined by the family behind owner Price.

Similarly, Alexander of the Rockets also found a golden job, and no one would agree to acquire him.

With a player like Liu Mang who has increased the market value of the Hawks by nearly $200 million in two years, the key is Liu Mang's stubborn character. From the perspective of Kevin Willis, a veteran, the character of the Eagles management is not good.

A tough boss can't defeat Liu Mang.

Just like Jordan in the Bulls, the general manager cannot compete with Jordan to determine which team's status is more stable.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jason Terry finally found someone who was willing to comfort him. After the end of the season, the news that the Eagles were going to dismantle the team for reinforcements was flying all over the place. Jason Terry

The player who was put on the bench is the most likely person to be traded, along with Boozer, Prince and others who performed poorly in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Although Jason Terry took the initiative to go to the bench, he still felt uneasy when the media said that.

Today is June 19th. The Eagles players gave Dean Grove, Emmanuel, Murtola, Leon Smith, Danny Ferry, Chris Crawford, Newbell, etc.

The day when people hold farewell parties.

The farewell party was held by Rahim. As a native of Georgia, Rahim moved his parents, brothers and sisters here long ago after he came to Atlanta to play.

There are two large villas next to each other, one for me and one for my parents, brothers and sisters. The adult brothers and sisters have all moved out. Americans are very particular about independence, and since Rahim's family is a believer, they are particularly strict in this regard.

Dean Grove, Emanuol, Murtola, and Leon Smith have become free agents. Emanuol will officially become the Eagles' trainer in July. The other three will be in the future.

Whether he finds a new team to play for or stays away from the NBA, he will no longer be a Hawks player.

Newbell received news two days ago that the Hawks and the Cavaliers had reached a deal. The Cavaliers sent this year's second-round pick to acquire Newbell. The deal will be officially concluded after the finals.

The Cavaliers want to get Newbell to serve as the team's main small forward, and form an impactful outside combination with James and Ricky Davis, who are about to enter the NBA. The three of them have strong athletic ability, fast speed, and height.

Tall and looks good.

The key is that the Cavaliers really have no choice. They have lost too many things in recent years and need a player with winning experience to assist James.

Newbell's contract of more than 2.8 million yuan has been given away, and the Hawks also have Danny Ferry's contract of more than 3 million yuan and Chris Crawford's contract of more than 2.6 million yuan to be given away.

Apart from Danny Ferry and Chris Crawford, the only players who have received contract extension offers from the Hawks and are under contract are Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Ratliff, and Mohan.

Mulder, Prince, Boozer, and Barnes, including Jason Terry’s qualifying offer, and Ratliff’s prediction of a five-year contract extension, the current theoretical contracts of these eight people

About $32 million.

Based on the NBA's revenue forecast at the beginning of the season, the salary cap for next season is estimated to be around 48 million, so Danny Ferry and Chris Crawford will definitely be cleared out to create enough space.

complete the plan.

These things have been prepared mentally for a long time, so the atmosphere at today's farewell party was pretty good. After more than a week, the negative emotions caused by the playoff defeat have almost passed. They are all professional players, and they all have to

Look forward.

…

…

"Levia, Aida, aren't you ready yet?" Liu Mang urged.

"Now, wait for me for five minutes, I'll put on makeup!"

"Yeah, five minutes!"

The answers from the two beauties came from upstairs.

"Five minutes? Okay, I'll wait a moment. We'll meet at the airport at ten o'clock. We still have two hours." Liu Mang replied, leaning on the sofa.

"Uncle is so stupid," Dinah in Liu Mang's arms sighed helplessly, "Mom and the teacher said 5 minutes, at least half an hour. If you said there are still two hours left, they will definitely spend an hour!"

"No way?" Liu Mang asked in disbelief.

"Humph, if you don't believe me, uncle, just wait and see!" Dinah looked like you don't understand women.

Early the next morning after the farewell party, Liu Mang woke up the three girls at home.

Due to Liu Mang's excellent draft vision, he was selected by the team as one of the spectators for this joint draft trial. He could also bring his family members with him. The team paid for staying in the presidential suite and traveling at public expense. Liu Mang asked about it.

The three girls at home all nodded their heads to visit the fast-paced big city.

Although both are among the top ten major cities in the United States, Atlanta has a slower pace and is more suitable for life, while Chicago is the third largest city in the United States with a famous fast pace. It is a famous tourist city and has the largest airport in the United States, which proves how popular it is.
