Chapter 275 Fear of becoming the biggest loser

After Hinkie finished speaking, assistant Gerald picked up a brush and raised his hand to erase a few names on the whiteboard.

The Clippers' nine-man roster is thus revealed, center, Kaman and Jr. Jordan; power forward, Randolph; small forward, Paul George and PJ Tucker; shooting guard, Russell Butler and Gordon; point guard, Su Yang and Davis.

"Our mission has been very clear," Hinkie said: "Looking for a power forward with shooting ability who can stretch the space, and a swingman at the second and third positions. If there is a suitable point guard, we can also consider it."

Everyone nodded to express their understanding, and Hinkie continued: "First consider whether the ability is satisfied, the priority of salary space and other factors is considered last, the contract type can be expanded to players with contracts, and there is no need to set restrictions on yourself."

Su Yang nodded again to show his agreement. What Xinji said was a way of thinking, and everything was based on achieving the goal.

Since it is looking for someone to form a team, it must be the most suitable one. There is no need to give up trying in advance just because there is a contract.

Everyone got busy, screening various materials prepared in advance, and the office was in full swing.

For this kind of work, Su Yang doesn't want to participate too much. Firstly, it is more troublesome, and secondly, it is easy to steal the show.

"I have a few potential partners, you can see if they meet the requirements..."

Su Yang went to the whiteboard and picked up a marker pen, and scribbled down the names of four players, namely Luis Scola, Tony Allen, Jermaine O'Neal, and Kyle Lowry, including two big positions.

In Su Yang's view, Scola's low salary and high energy, super high golf quotient is also in line with the Clippers' style of play, and Tony Allen is more value for money. If he can join forces with George, the perimeter defense will be terrible. As for Jermaine O'Neal and Lowry, the asking price will definitely not be too high. If he can be easily signed, the strength of the bench will be greatly improved, which will be of great help to defending the title.

"OK, we will study it carefully, thank you for your suggestion..." Xinji said.

Su Yang nodded, turned and walked out of the office, leaving room for the management and coaching staff.

Free signing is full of uncertainties, and most of the players that one's own side likes will be liked by others.

Just like Scola, when the season just ended, many teams wanted to recruit him, but Scola was a restricted free agent, the Rockets had the right to match the offer, and their general manager Morey also announced early that he would Matches all quotes.

During this period, players, player agents, the original team management, and the team management that initiated the offer will have a lot of work to deal with, including calculating salary space, waiting for big-name players to make decisions, and so on.

Therefore, it will take a long time from proposing the target candidate to completely completing the signing.

Su Yang went downstairs to the court and practiced shooting alone for an hour.

Tucker arrived later, the two chatted about sneakers, had dinner together, and ran to Malibu Beach to enjoy the night breeze.

...

In the blink of an eye, the time came to the early morning, and the 10-year NBA free market officially opened.

Su Yang casually checked the news, slept until 07:30 in the morning, got up and turned on the TV to watch the news.

ESPN is broadcasting a discussion program on the theme of free agent signing. The permanent guests are Stephen Smith and Scape, and the temporary guest is Chris Bunty. The host Molly throws out the first topic: Gooden signed the Bucks.

Scrolling subtitles appeared on the TV screen: The Milwaukee Bucks finalized the first free agent signing, and won Drew Gooden for 5 million in 3200 years.Gooden is 208 centimeters tall. Last season in the Clippers, he averaged…

Seeing the subtitles, Su Yang picked up his mobile phone to find Gudeng's number, and the editor wrote: "Congratulations on signing the big contract."

Gooden quickly replied to express his thanks, and on the TV show, Chris Bunty spoke at the same time.

"What I want to say is that the Clippers should not let go of Drew Gooden. As Zach Randolph's backup, Gooden can contribute 22.4 points very efficiently in 10.9 minutes per game. The key to being able to blow up many teams in the second quarter, now that the Bucks realize this and directly sign Gooden with a long-term contract, I am willing to give an S+ rating”

Scape went on to say: "I think the Clippers don't want to give up Gooden just like that. After all, they traded for potential rookie Al Thornton. It is very likely that the Clippers owner Sterling wants to save money, or It is Su Yang who wants to keep his own people, such as Wesley Matthews and PJ Tucker who he specifically asked the Clippers management to sign last year."

Chris Bunty answered: "I totally agree. Su Yang is a player with greater strength than LeBron James. I heard that he is in the Clippers. He can do whatever he wants. Jeff Van Gundy often can't stipulate him. How to play the game."

Stephen Smith shook his head again and again, and said: "You have too much misunderstanding about Su Yang, and I heard that Wesley Matthews will accept another team contract, and whether the Clippers have salary space to keep Gooden, No connection."

The scene of the show fell into embarrassment for a while, and the host Molly raised the topic after seeing this: "How do the three view the Clippers' multiple players trying to free the market, and the Clippers did not take the initiative to say that they might try to keep a certain player."

Chris Bunty said: "That's because the Clippers management understands that they can't keep those strong players through the mid-level contract, such as Blake and Gooden, both of them are the starting level of other teams. In terms of performance in the game, they will definitely receive a big contract offer, and there is no need to stay in the Clippers, allowing Su Yang to enjoy the halo alone."

Just as Skyp was about to speak, Stephen Smith yelled: "Shut up, please maintain basic respect for the most successful rookie player in NBA history. If he is really as bad as you said, then other players are all trash."

Seeing such a situation, Su Yang clapped his hands, thinking that Stephen Smith was right.

However, this kind of entertainment program with clear views may also be an artificial effect of putting red faces and black faces, so it cannot be taken seriously.Just like Pierce, the front foot just said that LeBron can only play in the era of soft eggs, and the back foot said that LeBron is the greatest player.

On TV, the discussion continued.

Molly said: "Multiple sources today indicated that LeBron, Wade, and Bosh will form a team with the Heat, and Stoudemire announced that he has stepped out of the contract and will consider forming a team with Joe Johnson in New York. What do you think?"

Stephen Smith rushed to say: "I very much welcome Stoudemire and Joe Johnson to New York, and at the same time suggest that James Dolan trade for Carmelo Anthony. He is in conflict with the Nuggets. Now is a good opportunity."

Scape said: "If those two news come true, the league will have two more super teams. If they reach the finals, they will have an overall advantage against the Clippers. I am personally very optimistic about the Heat signing LeBron three."

Chris Bunty said: "The Clippers Finals? You must be mistaken! It is difficult for the Clippers to sign powerful free agents this summer. If they simply supplement their existing foundation, they may not be able to reach the Western Conference. decision."

Scape nodded: "Agreed, the Clippers are very likely to become the biggest loser in this free market."
