408: Wonderful combinations added again(2/3)
Although David Li, a second-generation rich man, is not short of money, he is still dedicated to playing golf.
Although the defense is a bit lacking, the offense is strong enough, the skills are very comprehensive, and the efficiency is very high.
The shooting range does not extend beyond the three-point line like Horry, but the mid-range is still very stable.
On the offensive end, Duncan can be given sufficient firepower support.
In the second round of the draft, there are still two great men, Monta Ellis and Lou Williams, who is the envy of all men in the world.
Lu Wei is envied not because of how much money he makes, but because he can have two girlfriends at the same time. The key is that the two girlfriends get along very happily with each other!
It truly explains what it means that only children make choices, and adults want them all. He is simply a legend off the field.
This is what you call a winner in life!
Unlike a certain foreman who can only make a living by likes on social media.
However, Li Ang felt that these two people were not very suitable for Taiyang.
Monta Ellis is the kind of person who plays without rules. If he comes to the Suns, he won't attack in seven seconds. He will attack by himself in seventeen seconds, and then pass it to his teammates with seven seconds left.
As for Lu Wei, even if you don't expect him to become the best sixth man in the future, in fact, his growth period is relatively long.
At least it won't be until the 2009-10 season that Lou Williams can truly be considered to have completed his growth.
Selecting them now will not be of great help to the team.
The Suns are a championship contending team, and championship contending teams want immediate combat effectiveness.
As for a few years from now, God knows whether they will still be needed?
Besides, on a team with Nash, these two guys will definitely not get much playing time.
They may not be able to play well in the Suns.
Therefore, in the end, Li Ang still did not give any suggestions.
Lu Wei and Ellis then reported to the 76ers and Warriors respectively, just like in the original history.
The Suns added a young potato Robinson and Polish hammer Gortat in this draft. Gortat's height is a good addition to the Suns.
The Suns' interior linemen, except for Stoudemire and O'Brien, are all too short. With Gortat, the average height can go up a lot.
The draft is over, Bogut is dreaming about his bright future, and the ambitious Paul is also looking forward to playing against the superstars.
Li Ang, on the other hand, is ready to continue fulfilling his obligations as a great educator.
The draft is over, which means the transfer market is about to begin.
As the defending champion, the Suns will naturally not take the initiative to seek change.
Facts have proven that your lineup can win the championship. You will only take the initiative to change your lineup unless you are crazy.
Like the Mavericks in 11 years ago, there were only a few situations where the lineup fell apart just after they won the championship.
Just when Li Ang thought that the Suns would spend this summer without any trouble, transfer rumors about the Suns still appeared.
The Suns don't want to take the initiative to seek change, but that doesn't mean that the Suns players don't want to take the initiative to seek change.
In the 1980s, when Pat Riley led the showtime Lakers to sweep the league, he said: What kills the championship is the championship itself.
After a team wins the championship, everyone's ambitions and desires will expand.
Players will think, I'm already a champion, why can't I have some privileges?
I'm already a champion, why should I have to work hard as a blue-collar worker?
Why can't I get more salary?
As a result, many conflicts and locker room problems will emerge.
Although the situation of the Suns is not that exaggerated, Johnson really does not want to play a small role in the Suns anymore.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Last season, with the help of Nash, Johnson averaged 15.8 points per game.
Although this scoring data is not high, you have to remember that Johnson is only a deputy player in the Suns. With limited shooting rights, it is already very good to get this data.
Moreover, the all-round singles skills he displayed on the court are also very surprising.
Johnson's market was very good this year, so he became more confident and asked for 70 million for five years!
In the first year, Johnson's salary will reach 12 million, which is almost the maximum salary standard.
If this were Paul Allen's team, he might not even hesitate before signing the check.
If you can win the championship anyway, why spend some money?
How much does it cost to win the championship? It doesn’t cost much!
Isn’t it normal to spend money on gaming experience?
But the Suns are not Allen's team, they are Robert Savo's team.
If Li Ang asked for a maximum salary extension, Savo would sign without hesitation.
But in his opinion, Johnson is just a role player.
He is willing to pay for Li Ang, but not for anyone else.
In his opinion, Johnson is only worth 500 a year.
Your 70 million in five years is way over budget!
1200 is enough for me to play high-end, why do I need you to play low-end?
Colangino Jr. reminded Savo that as long as the current lineup is maintained, the Suns will have a chance to win a third championship next season.
This is a good opportunity to win three consecutive championships!
Although it is a bit expensive, this is a rare opportunity!
But Savo just spread his hands:
"We can win the championship without Johnson! Besides, you can do great things no matter how capable you are. You can't really buy a Lamborghini just because you have a five-yuan voucher for it, right?"
The Suns already have two max-salary players in Leon and O'Brien, and adding Johnson, who is worth 70 million in five years, is really too much for Savo.
If the current salary structure is maintained, Savo will still earn every year. But if the standard is raised and miscellaneous things such as luxury taxes are taken into account, he may not be able to earn so much.
He just wants to pick up the money and doesn't want to throw it away.
And Johnson has already won two championships. To be honest, he no longer has such a strong desire to win the championship under Li Ang.
Rather than being a champion, he now wants real knife fun.
Making money is not shabby.
Therefore, Johnson has decided to leave.
Although it has not yet been determined that a team will sign him, he still visited Li Ang's house and said goodbye to Li Ang in advance before Li Ang left to play in the Asian Championships.
Li Ang sighed. As a person with a God's perspective, he knew very well that it would be a huge loss for the Suns to let Johnson go.
But Li Ang himself left the Pistons because of money in the first place. He couldn't get the maximum salary himself and then persuade others to take the initiative to reduce their salary, right?
Although Li Ang has done a lot of things that are not good for people, he doesn't do things that ruin people's wealth.
He can only wish Jonson to live a small life and make a lot of money like the national football team, and make a lot of money. Even if he doesn't win, he can still make a lot of money.
Johnson entered the free agent market, and the Suns' second position became vacant.
Fortunately, Big Q Richardson can also play the second position.
Moreover, this kid always loses to Li Ang every time he plays cards, how can he handle it!
But just two days after Johnson announced that he was leaving, Li Ang discovered that Big Q had been traded!
He was packaged and traded to the Knicks in exchange for defensive center Kurt Thomas.
Li Ang quickly called Colangino: "Did you eat too much!?"
The team is already short of the second position, and the center position is already saturated with O'Hare and Bo Tiehammer.
At this time, why the hell do you want to switch to a center?
Colangino Jr. was also very innocent: "I didn't want to change it either, but the boss did it himself. The boss wanted to save 1 million, so he changed it!"
Next season, Ah Q's salary will rise to 7 million, while Kurt Thomas will only have 5 million.
According to the rules of the new labor agreement, the salary matching of both parties to the transaction only needs to meet 125% of the salary sent and 100,000 US dollars, and the transaction can be made.
The so-called transaction matching rules do not mean that the wages of two people must be completely equal.
In this way, the Suns have indeed saved more than 1 million in salary expenses.
Li Ang is convinced, what the hell are you going to do with saving this 1 million!?
The fruit plate is not enough!
But that's the case with Savo. In his opinion, as long as Li Ang is stable, it doesn't matter who the others are, so there's no way he can save anything.
The NBA is such a place. Although Savo is a little more generous than the owner of the Pistons, he doesn't regard money as dirt.
The kind of boss who obeys the words of his star player has always only appeared in novels. In fact, NBA bosses each have their own shortcomings.
