start with scouting

Chapter 486
Su Yang was a little surprised when the Celtic cut off his beard.

Still a little angry.

Some plans of the team need to be changed, the workload has increased accordingly, and the uncertainty has increased simultaneously. It is a bit uncomfortable to be true.

Thinking about it again, I think it’s normal. Before the Celtics tried out Smart, the media even reported that Angie was going to send Rondo away and choose Smart as the main point guard. In terms of Smart’s quotient and personality, it is true. Please Angie and Stevens.

After all, the Jagged Celtics.

As for how Angie guessed that he wanted to choose Smart, it may be exposed on the spot, or it may be the opponent's rigorous analysis.

Before he could think about it, the phone rang ding ding ding, breaking the slightly silent atmosphere in the king's combat office.

The three assistants were quite surprised. They agreed to choose Smart, but now they are snatched away by the Celtics. They must have been sniped.

Hinkie took a breath and pressed the hands-free button, and the voice of the NBA office operator came from the other end of the phone: "From now on, you Sacramento Kings have 5 minutes to decide whether to choose a certain player with the fifth overall pick, or to make a decision. trade."

"understand!"

Hinkie hung up the phone and turned to look at Su Yang: "Then start Plan B? Choose Zach Lavin from UCLA?"

Su Yang nodded, and then began to think about a new plan. Instead of choosing Smart, he chose LaVine, which had a certain impact on the king's substitute rotation, mainly in the backcourt defense. No one helped delay the first time, and Thomas Jr. was easily attacked. opponents against.

It's a pity that there are very few players who can achieve a high level of defense in the backcourt. Take Curry as an example. The defensive efficiency in the 14-15 season ranked among the top 50 in the league, but the impression left by the fans is that the defense is still poor, and the critical moment is also very difficult. Indeed, it was targeted by the opponent.

I contacted Sefoloza before, but did not get an answer. Now it is necessary to speed up the pace of finding someone, and we can no longer force defense.

After a little weighing, Su Yang decided to look for a player who can organize. The bench lineup mainly consists of several players. Thomas Jr. is inefficient with the ball directly, Gay prefers singles, and Covington, Jason Thompson, Jeremy Grant and others need Someone directs.

Determine the direction, and then look at the salary space, there is still about 500 million useless, which was originally reserved for Tucker or Sefolosha, but since neither of them can get it, try to quote other players of the same level, 500 Wan has strong competitiveness.

"Players who can organize in the backcourt, hold the ball, defend and shoot to a certain extent, and offer around 500 million yuan, let's screen."

After Su Yang finished speaking, he took three assistants and Xin Ji to search together, and the four computers started at the same time to search the database.

"Devin Harris, the Mavericks should renegotiate the contract with Devin Harris. As a combo guard, he can provide..."

"Sean Livingston, he performed very well in the Nets last season, and the agent is looking for a mid-level contract..."

"This may not need 500 million, Kirk Hinrich, the defense with the ball is not bad, and he has a certain three-point ability..."

The three assistants spoke one after another. Su Yang listened and thought, and denied three proposals in a row. Among the three players, Livingston was the most compatible, but it was very difficult to win 500 million. There were rumors that the Golden State Warriors were trying their best. Kings are hard to beat.

"How about Jodimix?"

Hinkie said: "He has played under you and is familiar with your offensive system. He has a high three-point shooting rate and can attack with the ball. He has a system bonus and can reach the average level. As for the organizational ability, I don't think it is necessary. Too chasing..."

Su Yang thought for a moment: "The biggest problem for Meeks may be that it is difficult to maintain a healthy and stable state, and the risk is too high."

言语之间，网页浏览翻到步行者队，埃文特纳的名字出现在眼前，数据显示特纳在步行者场均7.1分2.4助攻3.0篮板，而在76人场均17.4分3.7助攻6.0篮板1.0抢断。

Turner is known as Mr. NBA Average.

Except for the stable three-point shooting, he has a little bit of other skills, but none of the skills have reached the top state.

Let's say he doesn't have a three-pointer, and he can retreat to the bottom corner after grabbing the rebound, and rush to shoot a three-pointer to kill the Eagles, but he is determined not to shoot at ordinary times.

Say he lacks explosive power, he can dunk LeBron, say he can't defend well, he can make Harden play hard, and he has a WS/defensive efficiency value as high as the top 50 in the league. If you say he has no ball difference Well, he can find another opportunity to cut and attack the basket.

But if Turner is really regarded as a core player, his statistics will be the same, otherwise the 76ers will definitely not give up on him and completely rebuild.

"What is Evan Turner's current status?"

"The rookie contract is about to end. If the Pacers offer a qualified offer contract, they will become a restricted free agent. However, the Pacers have not acted at present, probably because Turner was traded at the beginning, and the expectation is to help beat the Heat. It can be traded. Then there was chaos in the Pacers locker room, and Turner only played one game, seven minutes, in the series against the Heat..."

"Contact his agent immediately and say that I can let Turner prove himself again and get him a big contract of more than 1500 million US dollars in two years. If there are other teams competing, such as the Celtics, we can Give $100 million more.

There is no need to contact Xavier Henry, and there is no need to wait for Sefolosha. Bazemore can sign if he wants to. "

Su Yang made up his mind to sign Turner. Firstly, it fits the current lineup of the Kings without spending too much money. Second, he can snatch away the Celtics' target personnel. He can even boldly guess that Larry Bird will not give Turner the qualifications. The quotation is to subsidize the old club.

Now, taking advantage of the fact that the Kai team has not yet exerted their strength, they are recruiting in advance.

Hinkie said with a smile: "Your idea of ​​building a team jumped too fast. Before, you were still looking for 3D, but now you are looking for a playmaker who can attack with the ball. If you don't know you, you may think that you don't have a clear plan and cooperate with you." It's so interesting..."

The three assistants echoed blankly and laughed, and Su Yang explained his thinking again, the core of which was not to insist on 3D players.

There are too few top-level 3D players in the free market. If you want to exchange, you have no bargaining chips, and others will not exchange easily. Since you can’t choose Smart and cultivate them for a long time, then use another way of thinking and wait until next year or 16 to make a big one. wesley Matthews et al

During the conversation, the phone rang again, and the NBA office staff called to inquire about the king's fifth pick.

After Hinkie finished his reply, Xiao Hua on TV came out again, stood next to the podium under the boos of the crowd, and read: "The fifth overall pick in the first round of the 2014 NBA draft, the Sacramento Kings chose Zach from UCLA. arts…"

The scene of the draft was directly fried. The Timberwolves' small owner and president and head coach Philip Sanders had a sudden change of face, Dante Exum's team looked panicked, Aaron Gordon's team anxiously made a phone call, and Kings fans cheered wildly.

Zach Laven was also cheering, he didn't need to shout out the fuk me when he was selected by the Timberwolves, how good the king is!

And in the various temporary draft operations offices, the general managers of each team got busy, feeling that the opportunity had come.

The fourth and sixth pick swaps didn't actually affect much, but Zach Lavin originally predicted that the 13th pick would be selected by the Timberwolves, which meant that Dante Exum would drop down, and other picks would be changed accordingly. Probably not much will change.

Su Yang left the combat office and rushed to the draft site. He waited for LaVine to finish his interview with ESPN, and took the initiative to meet him.

Lavin was a little excited when he saw the boss greet him in person.

Su Yang shook hands and patted his shoulders, and encouraged him: "You are very good at catching and shooting the ball. We need your ability in this area now, but you have to define yourself as a core player and practice holding the ball more when you have space. I believe you If you can practice it, come on!"

LaVine University only studied for one year, and was restricted by the UCLA head coach during this period. Only the catch and shoot reached the NBA level.

But Raven is willing to practice, and every off-season can see the improvement of the offensive level with the ball, which is much harder than Wiggins in the same year.

"I will work hard!" LaVine solemnly promised.

Su Yang said a few more words before returning to the combat office. As soon as he entered the door, Xinji said excitedly: "Turner expressed his willingness to play for the king and is willing to accept a salary contract of 350 million US dollars. In addition, Bazemore also called to accept the contract just now." recruit."

"Then our shooting guard position is complete..."

Su Yang was also excited when he heard the words. As long as the signing is completed, the king's backcourt will be Curry, Thomas Jr., Evan Turner, LaVine and Bazemore. The defense may be poor, but the offensive firepower and adaptability are definitely strong enough , No. [-] in the league in overall strength.

The key space is more than 500 million, because the Celtics messed up, opened up new ideas, and split Turner and Bazemore.
