Build a Dream Dynasty

For the veteran Carter, the past few days have been a bit of a torment. He didn't answer the call he had been waiting for.

In the middle of the season, he rushed to help the team from the Magic. Carter felt that he had made enough sacrifices in all aspects. For the first time in his career, he positioned himself as a substitute, reducing holding the ball and increasing running without the ball. It is no longer dominated by him, and he may not even be able to stand on the field. It can be said that Carter let go of his pride to cater to the needs of the team. However, the current situation is that the team does not seem to want to renew his contract.

In the current situation where the two parties in the labor negotiations cannot reach a consensus, the free agents whose contracts expire are definitely the most panicked group of people. No one can guarantee that the possible "new labor agreement" will have a positive impact on the contracts they get next. What an impact. After all, Carter is no longer the hot fried chicken in the past, and the size of the contract is greatly affected by the labor agreement.

Finally, Carter couldn't bear to call Jiang Mingliang and took the initiative to discuss the contract.

The issue of Carter's contract renewal is really a thorn in Jiang Mingliang's heart. To put it simply, it is a perfect embodiment of the conflict between sensibility and rationality.

Rationally speaking, at the draft, Jiang Mingliang set Leonard as the team's goal, and even in the second round or in the free agent market, he also prioritized a defensive wing player, and he didn't say who he was going for. Metaphor, but whether it's Leonard, plan B, or plan C, playing time is always needed to make progress. In addition to George and Korver who were originally on the wing position of the Nets, it can only be said that leaving this legend has conflicted with the team's plan for the next season. Sentimentally speaking, Carter's veteran experience is also helpful to the team. Carter, who has successfully transformed, is also very suitable for the sixth man position. He has extremely high prestige in the hearts of fans.

After thinking about it, Jiang Mingliang finally decided to tell Carter his thoughts in person.

"Vince, I asked you to come out. I want to say something frankly. If everything goes well, the team will introduce a main player on the wing position in the summer. He and George will occupy the vast majority of playing time on the wing position. .Maybe the team can't provide you with the opportunities and contracts you want." Seeing the veteran in person, Jiang Mingliang hardened his heart. There are some sayings that are good for everyone. If the team forces Carter to stay in the team, but does not give him the opportunity and playing time he wants, wasting his one-year time, this will hurt him the most.

"OK." The fantasy in his heart was finally punctured. Although the result was disappointing, a stone in Carter's heart fell down instead.

"You can ask your agent to contact you with other teams. I believe that based on your performance in the past year, it is not that difficult to get a mid-level contract." Jiang Mingliang promised, "In short, in the New Jersey Nets, there will be no No one is wearing the number 15 anymore."

For Carter, who is still empty-handed in his career, with only one Olympic gold medal and one slam dunk contest champion, it is a great honor to have a team retire his jersey.

"I hope Paul George can lead the team to success." Standing up and shaking hands with Jiang Mingliang, Carter expressed his blessings to Jiang Mingliang.

In the future, Carter will be a star of the Nets, but in the next few years, he will still be an NBA player!

Losing the advantage of the inside line, Rondo was injured in the game again, and his state fell sharply. No matter how firm the will of the Celtics veterans are, they still failed to resist the progress of the Big Three in Miami. After crossing the biggest competitor in the East, James and Wade can finally breathe a sigh of relief. On the other side, the regular season champion Bulls sent away the Knicks and the Eagles with two 4:1. Compared with the Heat, Their promotion process should be smoother, and they are also expected to have a certain impact on the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

However, in Jiang Mingliang's view, the regular season and playoffs are not the same. The Bulls' lineup, only Derrick Rose, Luol Deng, Boozer and other players are gradually "tool-humanized" under Thibodeau's hands, which is simply a disaster for the fight against the Heat.

How the playoffs are going has nothing to do with Jiang Mingliang, but there is something very important to the Nets recently.

The lottery ceremony of the draft.

The pick of the Nets is fixed, and the teams in the playoffs are ranked backwards. The pick of the Nets is set at the 19th pick, and the pick of the Heat acquired from the Raptors is also fixed. At No. 28. Jiang Mingliang's plan is to use the right bargaining chip to trade to a 9th to 12th pick and grab Leonard.

After NBA Commissioner Stern made a speech, the lottery ceremony began.

The last-to-last Cavaliers failed to enter the top three and sadly accepted the No. 4 pick. The second-to-last Raptors were also unlucky and fell to fifth. Timberwolves owner Taylor personally entered the top three. The third pick, and then Jazz general manager Lindsay, luckily, also entered the top three. . . . . . . .

How can we know that it is not a blessing if it is a blessing in disguise. The Cavaliers’ own pick with a 75% probability of entering the top three fell to fourth, but the draft pick they traded from the Clippers with a probability of only 5.6% entered the top three. In this way, the No. 1 pick, The No. 2 spot, the No. 1 pick has already been determined. They belong to the Cavaliers, Jazz, and Timberwolves respectively. The rankings after the third overall pick are arranged in reverse order of performance.

Jiang Mingliang sent a message to Will Craig behind, and immediately, Will Craig and Jerry West began to compete for the draft picks from ninth to twelfth.

The Bobcats with the ninth overall pick did not give Will Craig a chance to play tricks. For Mr. Joe, in the draft, there are too many wrong picks. In order to make less jokes, it is better to have fewer drafts. .

The Bucks, who hold the tenth overall pick, are not very willing to trade. The Jazz does have the idea of ​​​​trading. After losing Deron Williams, the Jazz lacks a strong enough point guard. Apart from Irving, this year's popular rookie, only Kemba Walker is in the small green room. Picking Walker with the third pick (the lottery ends when the deal is negotiated) is obviously a bit of a waste.

To be honest, Jiang Mingliang has no objection to using Bledsoe to get a chance to securely pick Leonard, but Stevens clearly expressed his opposition. Bledsoe is very much to his appetite. Too willing to lose this beloved disciple.

The 76ers with the twelfth overall pick were kicked out of the playoffs by the Nets this year. It’s not a deep hatred, but there are some people who don’t like it. In addition, the 76ers also have their own promising rookies, unless the Nets The team takes out George, otherwise there is no talk.

If you don't have to talk, you don't have to talk! If the Nets are willing to produce George, they can get the top three picks, so why do they need to talk nonsense with you?

The first wave of trading attempts ended in failure. To be honest, it was somewhat beyond Jiang Mingliang's expectations. After all, the 2011 class was originally a small year for the draft, and many rookies withdrew from this draft one after another. The rest of them are really not favored!
