Most fans pay special attention to this draft known as the "Platinum Generation".
? LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh?¡
All these young people who were famous all over the United States before entering the league have become the focus of the basketball world.
Even, even the fans of the Detroit Pistons are very concerned about this year's draft.
Logically speaking, as the defending champion, things like the draft have nothing to do with the Pistons.
Originally, the Pistons did have a high draft pick, but this draft pick was traded for Li Ang last summer.
And the arrival of Li Ang brought Detroit its first championship trophy in the 21st century.
Trading a draft pick for a championship is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
After all, no matter how high the draft pick is, there is no guarantee that he will bring the team a championship.
Let alone the championship, you don't even know if your high-ranking rookie can play.
Of course, except for the basketball god Danzi.
Let's put it this way, other people's draft is a gamble, and Danzi's draft is a clear card.
It's just that Danzi's draft has always followed the principle of "I don't want the best".
Then what are you laughing at? It is not easy to avoid the correct answer again and again!
Missed Roy and Gay in 2006, Lopez, Ibaka and Batum in 2009.
Missed Holiday and Gibson in 2009, Bill and Lillard in 12, McCollum in 13
As long as there are two or three of the above people, his team will not be so ridiculously bad.
Therefore, the Pistons exchange a high-ranked draft pick for a championship, which is a profit-only deal.
Since the Pistons don't have a high pick this year, why do Detroit fans pay so much attention to this draft?
Because there are rumors that Li Ang may be traded during the draft!
These rumors all started a few days ago after the news that the contract renewal talks between the Pistons and Leon broke down.
Not long after the championship parade ended, when the Pistons fans were still immersed in the joy of winning the championship.
An espn reporter suddenly broke out that the contract renewal negotiations between the Pistons and Li Ang had reached a deadlock.
At that time, the whole of Detroit was shocked.
What, what, what is written in this newspaper?
Although everyone knew that this year was Li Ang's contract year, it was true that a player who just won fmvp would encounter problems in contract renewal.
Moreover, Li Ang also said during the championship parade that the story of the Bad Boys Legion is not over yet.
What the hell, it was unfinished the next day?
Isn't this more disgusting than the author of a web article?
Let alone the fans, even Li Ang himself didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.
Li Ang said that the story of the Bad Boys Legion is not over yet, mainly because he always thought that there would be no accidents in the contract renewal.
From joining the Pistons to winning the championship, Li Ang never considered renewing his contract at all during this period. Our old Li has a clean heart, only the Pistons champion.
As a result, when Barter Stern and Leon happily went to Dumars to sign, they learned that the Pistons had no intention of renewing the contract with Leon with a maximum salary.
Barter Stern: ? ? ?
At that time, he thought he had heard wrong.
Does Dumas, the fat man, know what he's talking about?
Barter Stern was furious at the time, because in his opinion, any offer other than the maximum salary would be extremely humiliating to Li Ang.
A 24-year-old player who just won fmvp and is in his prime.
You tell me, he can't get the maximum salary?
Where do you go to find another player who can hit from the 1st position to the coach's bench with his butt?
Barter Stern's confidence in asking for a maximum salary is not groundless. After all, if an agent is blindly confident in his players, it is very likely that Schroeder will be like that. Sign a year of 5.4 million things.
It is estimated that Xiao Hei has the heart to kill his manager.
As a well-known professional agent in the NBA, Barter Stern will never be blindly confident, and it is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.
He is well aware of how popular Li Ang is in the free agent market.
Among other things, as long as Barter Stern sends "I broke up with him", Paxson in Cleveland will rush over.sp; Anyway, the Blazers are eager to get rid of Tianzun now. In this way, the Pistons can solve the problem of the fourth position and make up for the vacancy left by Li Ang's departure.
Although Rashid has a big contract this year, fortunately, there is only one year left in the big contract. The Pistons can just accept the price of a one-year maximum salary.
Because Brown and Tianzun py had played against Li Ang before, Tianzun would not refuse to play for Brown's team.
And this is also the condition for Brown to replace Carlisle.
In addition, Carlisle went back to speak for Li Ang before, which also made Dumas feel betrayed.
He thought, no matter what Brown said, his abilities would not be worse than Carlisle's.
Therefore, this decision was made very decisively.
As long as Brown can lead the Pistons to successfully defend their title next season, he will prove that it doesn't matter if the Pistons have Leon or not!
Li Ang is just a system player who can be replaced by anyone!
He is not a superstar at all!
What really matters for a team is the head coach and the system!
This is Brown's ultimate revenge on Leon!
Seeing the situation becoming more and more chaotic, Suns general manager Colangelo finally took action.
In the beginning, he was actually not very confident in this plan, but the entry of Larry Brown changed the situation.
If Li Ang wants to prove that he is the key factor for the team to win the championship, then he needs to continue to win the championship next year, and even beat his old club Pistons.
But whether it is the Cavaliers, Knicks or Supersonics, none of them has the strength to allow Li Ang to return to the finals immediately.
In Colangelo's view, Li Ang still wants to continue playing in the finals after leaving the Pistons. The fastest way to achieve this goal is to come to Phoenix!
Of course, it's not the current sun, but the sun after a complete transformation.
Before that, Colangelo must first find the Knicks, a pig teammate, to make enough salary space.
After all, Li Ang is only part of a series of plans for the Suns this summer.
The time to flex your muscles has finally arrived!
