NBA beast center

After the Nets ended last season, the contracts of the team's backup power forward Cunningham, Quincy Asch and shooting guard Stauskas all expired, and they did not renew their contracts with these three.

Beast doesn't think these three will help the team's championship. Instead of keeping them and giving them long-term contracts, it is better to sign those veterans who want to win the championship with a minimum salary, and then train rookies.

After all, if the basic salary veteran is not in good condition, he can not sign with him next season, and the rookie has potential to be tapped, and there is a contract bonus.

And these two basically didn't enter the regular rotation at the end of last season. They were basically guarding the drinking fountains, purely playing in garbage time.If you don't renew their contracts with them, you can make room to sign other players.

Beast suddenly remembered one thing now, even if Cunningham and the other 3 players are not renewed, the Nets still don't have enough places in the team.

Now the Nets have a contract with Howard, Jarrett Allen, Beast, Carroll, Hollis Jefferson, Russell, Beau Bois, Joe Harris, LeVille, Jeremy Lin, Dinwiddie, and Whitehead have 12 people. If it is assumed that all 3 rookies have signed, then there are already 15 people, and Jeff Green and Ed Davis cannot be signed anymore!
Oh, why didn't I think of this?

Beast felt that he was also careless. The team had too much change, especially the back line. They really should change the whole money.

But the average NBA team is not stupid, who would easily exchange their own money?Unless you have change + picks, it's possible.

And this kind of thing requires the opponent's intention to rebuild, and the team trying to compete for the championship will definitely not take out the whole money in their hands.

The Beast intends to put Whitehead in Russell's deal if the Timberwolves agree to it, and go to Wiggins, so that a spot can be freed up.

It is still possible to replace two defenders with one striker!
The Beast asked Max to join Whitehead in the deal, who agreed without hesitation, and then went to negotiate.

Now the team's construction and signings are all done by Beast. Marx only needs to execute it. He doesn't feel uncomfortable at all when his power is taken away, because he doesn't have to take responsibility!

At least the Beast didn't blame him, and Max wasn't under any pressure. Don't get too comfortable with the general manager's salary!

Under the joint promotion of Russell and Towns, the Nets and Timberwolves reached an initial agreement on Russell's deal.

The details of the transaction are as follows: the Nets get Russell + Whitehead, and the Timberwolves get Wiggins + next season's first round pick (top 10 pick protection).

But the Beast still insists that the Timberwolves' first-round pick needs to cancel the condition of top 10 protection. For this reason, the Nets are willing to issue a second-round pick as compensation.

The Timberwolves' record last season was 8th in the Western Conference. In their management's view, the team's record next season cannot be worse than last season, so it is basically difficult for this first-round pick to be the top 10 pick.

Therefore, this second round was basically free, and he agreed immediately.

The Beast is a traverser. He knows that the Timberwolves will most likely not make it to the playoffs next season, and there is even a certain probability that they will be fat. Once this happens, the pick will be very high.

Once it becomes the top 10 pick, then this protective condition is set here, and the Nets will not get this pick.

So in order to rule out this extreme situation, the Beast is willing to issue a second-round pick.In his opinion, the second-round pick can be bought with money, and the value of the first-round pick is very different, so there is no problem if one is picked.

On June 6, the Nets officially announced that they will not implement the team option of team guard Russell, and Russell will become a restricted free agent.

The outside world doesn't understand why the Nets don't implement Russell's team option. Are they going to renew his contract in advance?
On July 7st, the annual NBA free agent market officially opened!
This year's free agent market, with James and Durant, two super big fish, is of course extremely lively.

On July 7st, NBA famous shams broke the news: The Nets and Russell signed a 1-year maximum salary contract!

Just when everyone was amazed, Shams immediately broke the news: the Nets traded with the Timberwolves, and traded Russell, Whitehead and the Nets' second-round pick for next season to the Timberwolves in exchange for Wiggins and Timberwolves. Timberwolves' first round pick for next season!

As soon as this transaction came out, public opinion was in an uproar!

Unexpectedly, the Nets, which won the runner-up last season, did not just make minor repairs to the lineup, but directly signed and then replaced the No. [-] pick Russell with No. [-] pick Lang Wiggins!

维金斯上赛季表现不佳，场均只能得到17.7分4.4个篮板2次助攻1.1个抢断0.6个盖帽，投篮命中率只有43.8%，3分命中率只有33.1%，罚球命中率更是低到只有64.3%。

You must know that Wiggins averaged 2 points per game in his second season in the NBA. After getting a big contract, he did not become an All-Star or even a superstar as people expected, but started playing health-preserving basketball. Being more and more Buddhist, it really makes people feel like "hate iron but not steel".

The Nets are actually willing to get him. It seems that the Beast is very confident that he will be trained as a qualified No. [-] pick!
In Beast's view, even if Wiggins has always been a buddhist, he is far more suitable for the Nets than Russell.He has no obvious shortcomings. Although it is not accurate to have a basket, he is not the kind of striker who can be emptied; and he has a passable hand with the ball, so it is not really just 3D; Full attendance and excellent endurance, which many people ignore.

Going to "buy the bottom" Wiggins at this time is a very worthwhile thing to do.

And the Beast also got the first round pick of the Timberwolves next season. The pick of this first round pick is very worth looking forward to!

The Beast is not optimistic about what Towns and Russell can do together next season. To put it bluntly, these two guys are both offensively strong and defensively weak. It is difficult for such players to fight tough battles. Not particularly high either.

Just think about it, the core of the team is not defensive, do you expect this team to be at the forefront of the defensive league?All other positions must be at the DPOY level!
After the Nets got Wiggins, the number of lineups became 11, and they still needed to free up a spot to sign 3 rookies and two basic salaries (Jeff Green, Ed Davis).

Of course, the reinforcement of the Nets is not over yet. The Beast is asking Marx to inquire about the star players of the team to be rebuilt. He hopes to change it!

The Beast's chips include this season's first-round pick Shamet, guard Dinwiddie, Joe Harris, LeVille, center Howard and the first-round pick.
