Chapter 875 [Dual-Energy Guard, Great Demon King]

The 2016 NBA Draft made a little tidbit.

The 76ers were lucky to pick the No. 1 pick with the third-to-last record in the league, the last time they won the No. 1 pick was in 1996 when they drafted Allen Iverson, and this time the No. 1 pick was Louisiana State University forward Ben Simmons, known as James Jr.

Embarrassingly, Ben Simmons' agent has clearly informed the 76ers that either Simmons will be selected by the Lakers or become a parallel player, and the psychological shadow area of 76ers head coach Brett Brown is quite large.

Some fans on the Internet immediately expressed their dissatisfaction: "You are all called "Little James", doomed to a declining boy who has not won a championship for more than ten years, why are you so dragged like this?" (James: hat?!) )

In fact, it wasn't Simmons who dragged it, many drafts were reluctant to go to the 76ers, and the 76ers' own team building ideas were problematic, no wonder others refused so bluntly.

The management of the 76ers is not willing to keep the star at all, nor does it give the star a chance to be loyal, as long as the player's condition declines and he does not play well, he will be sent away immediately.

On the other hand, the Lakers, although they have been at the bottom for many years, at least Kobe Bryant has been in the Lakers from the beginning, and the boss position is still vacant.

Unfortunately, Simmons' threat didn't work, and the 76ers still drafted him, not to be foolish.

The Lakers once again picked Brandon Ingram and the template was Durant.

The Timberwolves drafted forward Jaylen Brown for the third time, and the template was Josh Smith, who was physically strong.

The Bucks, who finished last in the East, only finished with the fourth pick, and drafted Dragan Bender, a seven-foot man who shoots three-pointers, and this type of player is especially popular right now.

The Raptors drafted Marquis Chris with the fifth pick, playing power forward, and the template was Stoudemire. The draft pick belonged to the Knicks, and they traded for soft baggy Bargnani.

Don't look at the rookies' templates are very fierce, in fact, the credibility is not high, Sun Yue's draft template was Boris Dior.

This is a recognized draft year, there are not many rookies who have been paid attention to, Yang Rui didn't even watch TV, and waited for the phone at home.

The Clippers selected two-way guard Malcolm Brogdon with the 30th pick, who is 196cm tall, weighs 98 kilograms, and has an arm span of 210cm.

In the 2015-16 season, Brogge averaged 18.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 34.1 minutes per game while shooting 45.7% from the field. He led the University of Virginia to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament, was named Defensive Player of the Year by the National Coaches Association, was voted to the All-American Team, and became the first player in Atlantic Coast Conference history to win both Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.

In Yang Rui's previous life, in the selection of the best rookie in the NBA in 2017, the Bucks' second-round rookie Brogdon defeated the 76ers' interior "Emperor" Embiid, which is a good inspirational story.

Although multiple statistics show that Brogdon is the best rookie winner in NBA history, averaging only 10.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, shooting 45.7% from the field and 40.4% from three-point range. But Yang Rui's reason for choosing him is very simple, no matter how much water is the best rookie, why not choose him if there is no better choice for the 30 places in the first round?

The veteran Miller is retired, and there is one less person at the point guard position, Brogdon is an excellent instant force, running tactics and catch-and-shoot jumpers are his strengths, and his passing awareness is not bad, which is suitable for the Clippers system.

As long as Brogdon plays well, Yang Rui will send away Zach LaVine in the summer of 2017, which is a painful cut, a talented player like LaVine, once the rookie contract expires, there must be a team to give him a premium contract, the Clippers have too many cattle to renew the contract.

No. 35, the Clippers selected Zhou Qi with the Timberwolves' draft picks, and Yang Rui is ready to sign a four-year long-term contract with him directly, and will not let him practice in the CBA for another year like the Rockets, which can be regarded as fulfilling the previous promise to Chinese fans and pulling Chinese basketball.

Wang Zhelin was drafted by the Grizzlies in 57th place, and Chinese fans rejoiced. However, it is very difficult for Wang Zhelin to land in the NBA, and few second-round picks who are particularly low in the pick can get a contract.

On July 1, the NBA free agency market officially opened, and many stars signed on the first day.

In the past, the NBA's annual salary of 6 million was considered a high salary, but now it has become a situation where 20 million is everywhere and more than 10 million is like a dog. People like Barkley, Pippen, and others must have been depressed and born at the wrong time.

Pistons perimeter star DeRozan jumped ship to the Raptors with a top salary, and he doesn't want to stay in Detroit anymore and is completely free man.

After 2013, Detroit filed for bankruptcy and became a sin city, littered with garbage, burning goods, and many streets inhabited only by the most terrible black poor. In some parts of Detroit, GPS has failed, because many of the street houses are no longer there.

It is said that in the dangerous East Detroit, there is a risk of being shot in broad daylight, and civilians in this kind of place do not want to stay, let alone football stars?

The only good news for the Pistons is that they left the rebounding king Drummond, and the two sides signed a big contract of 5 years and 130 million.

Al Horford joined the Celtics for 113 million in 4 years, and the Hawks failed to win the championship and began to rebuild.

The Lakers poached Pelicans three-point power forward Ryan Anderson for 80 million in four years, and the contract was fully guaranteed. Due to the signing of Bosh, the Rockets can no longer afford to chase the star, which is not necessarily a bad thing, Anderson has a single role, average defense, and enough pits.

The Hornets signed Batum, the starting small forward last season, to a five-year, $120 million contract, with a player option for the fifth year, and now the second-rate star with seniority can sign the contract of the top superstar of the year.

Batum can at least help the team, and some of the signings are purely throwing money.

The Pacers offered Solomon Hill 4 years and 52 million, who averaged 8.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 29 minutes per game last season, shooting 39.6% from the field and 32.7% from three-point range.

Center Joakim Noah, who is injured and has been in declining form for two consecutive seasons, joined the Knicks for 72 million in 4 years.

Biyombo, a Wizard power forward who had an excellent defense in last year's playoffs, joined the Magic for 4 years and 72 million. Both of these are blue-collar workers, and the team's high-paying signing is a brain disease.

Even Jeremy Lin, a role player who played as a substitute in the Hornets last season, joined the Trail Blazers with a 3-year 36 million contract, and he deserves this annual salary, and now the mid-level contract is 10 million.

There are a lot of premium contracts this year, and of course, there are teams that are hiring Clippers players with high salaries.

The Trail Blazers had the most adequate salary and offered Middleton a four-year, 75 million premium contract, and Middleton decided to leave the Clippers without much thought, the contract was much bigger. He also wants to see if he can do more if he has the ball, and the Trail Blazers are missing a core right now.

The Trail Blazers have benefited from the departure of Aldridge and the absence of Lillard and McCum, who must sign people in the free market at a high salary to meet the minimum salary.

The Trail Blazers also signed a four-year, $64 million contract with center Mozgov, who played for the Cavaliers last season. The team needs a meat shield center.

Originally, Mozgov would go to the Lakers, because Embiid would pay next season, so the Lakers didn't want a high forward.

Yang Rui called to bless Middleton, so get together and disperse, next season Brother Alphabet can get more playing time, Covington will also have more opportunities to perform, although it is a bit regrettable, but the Clippers have players who can replace Middleton.

Then, the Clippers renewed Draymond Green's contract for 5 years and 85 million, which is a conscience price that has been reduced by tens of millions, and there are weak teams that give Draymond a maximum salary, but he prefers to stay with the Clippers because he can win here.
