surprised Yang Rui, the Raptors actually signed a big name in the free market.
Due to not taking the Cambiga role player for Oakley, the Raptors' total salary this season has not reached the league's minimum standard, 80% of the salary cap. So they signed the supersonic star forward Detrev Schramf with a three-year premium contract of 18 million.
Detrev, who is 206cm tall and weighs 97kg, is German. He is 36 years old this year. He is generally defensive, maneuverable, swings in positions 3 and 4. He has a strong shooting feel, can organize passes, and averaged 19.1 per game in peak season Points 9.5 rebounds and 6 assists.
Last season, Detrev played 78 games for the Supersonics. He scored 15.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 35.2 minutes. He shot 48.7% from the field, 41.5% from the 3-point range and 84.4% from the free throw line.
He was selected to the All-Star three times and won the best sixth man twice. It is a template for Dirk Nowitzki.
Last season, Detrev's annual salary was only 3.33 million. Even so, the Supersonics also wanted him to reduce his salary and renew his contract in order to renew Gary Payton and Weinbeck.
After the management meeting, Yang Rui voted for approval. This butterfly effect is not a surprise. Schramf is in a downturn and his salary is too high.
His advantage is that he is fast enough when playing position 4, the ball dealer has high technology and is comprehensive, can teach Miller to play, and guest assistant coach in the team. The disadvantage is that age, if the playing time is long, it will affect the cultivation of newcomers.
The Raptors also signed free market veteran Kevin Willis, a defensive center with a height of 213CM and a weight of 100 kg.
Willis is also well-known and is one of the representatives of the golden generation in 1984. The league's famous Tiehan has a peak of 18.3 points, 15.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 1992, and was selected as an All-Star.
Even last season, Willis scored 16.1 points and 8.4 rebounds in the Rockets. The Raptors' method of digging him is a long-term contract, 7.6 million in 3 years, other teams have not given a bigger contract.
Everyone underestimated Willis and thought he was old. Only Yang Rui knew that the transaction Raptors had turned over because Willis was a godman.
In Yang Rui’s previous life, most of the 44-year-old was breathless in the midlife crisis, but Willis was able to play for the Mavericks. He is a man who knows how to maintain, and has only suffered two injuries throughout his career. Willis during the Raptors period was excellent, with average data and high efficiency.
Glenn-Groward finally believes but has no experience in losing rookie Brad Miller, so I found two veterans. This is the right decision. For the team to be strong, veterans must bring new people. They can also be leaders in the dressing room.
didn't have time to investigate new players, the management also gave second round rookie Ryan Bowen a basic salary. The Raptors are not weak in the new season.
On January 28, the Raptors' 14-season roster was confirmed.
Centers: Brad Miller, Kevin Willis, Detrev Schramf.
Power forwards: John Thomas, Jermaine O'Neal, Ryan Bowen.
Small forwards: Vince Carter, Reggie Leicester, John Wallace.
shooting guards: Doug Christie, Tracy McGrady.
Point guards: Di Brown, Chauncey Billups, Alvin Williams.
Glen wanted to make up a 15-man lineup, but the people in the free market who were a little famous have been dug up by the teams, leaving some non-influential players.
When the Raptors management meeting, everyone was worried, the idea was: "The player is either a newcomer or a veteran of decline, this broken lineup, 80% have to be at the bottom."
Even if it is clear that these potential rookies need to be cultivated, Yang Rui can't hide his inner excitement and smile, and the idea is: "This lineup is too exaggerated? If the players are at the peak, there is no pressure to win the championship."
This year there is no preseason game, no public training, only media day, players and coaches are interviewed by the media together.
When taking the core makeup photos, Glenn-Groward was eagerly stopped by Yang Ruilei. "Jerry, this is the core photo. What is your situation? Four rookies?"
"Yes, their four Gard Treff, the most important people in the Raptors' new season, they will get a lot of playing time. If you want to make the playoffs this season, you have to rely on them." Yang Rui did not deliberately hold down The sound made the five people hear clearly.
Glen shook his head helplessly. "Forget it, you can do it, we wait to see the results."
"I promise you will be surprised, the Raptors are very strong." Yang Rui smiled.
At this moment, a fire in O'Neal, Carter, McGrady, Billups was ignited. The head coach said that it represents trust and opportunity. Only by increasing the possession of the ball and playing time can he prove himself.
They are either newcomers or poor worms that were not reused last season. Not to mention Yang Rui playing basketball with them, that is, Yang Rui now sings a dance, and they also dance together.
If Detrev is not famous, Yang Rui will add Christie to the core, he has not forgotten to take care of the veteran's face.
Someone rejoices, and naturally others will be unhappy.
Kevin Willis felt that he was not respected. As a former All-Star, a center who scored two double figures in multiple seasons of his career, he thought that he should be the core of a rotten team like the Raptors.
He is not old yet. If it is not for the sake of money, he does not want to come. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
The more depressed person is forward John Wallace, who averaged 28.8 minutes per game last season, scoring 14 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks.
He had been thinking last night. Will the coach make him one of the cores at today's media day? Will it give him more opportunities to play?
Wallace was wrong, Yang Rui couldn't look down on him at all, because this player was too low, as a forward, he didn't like passing, he had poor coping ability, and he likes to hold the ball on the court. The only advantage is good physical fitness.
Last season, Wallace made two 3-pointers in the regular season and hit one. The Raptors can't beat anyone, and it has a lot to do with the lack of a corner three-pointer. Wallace has the main responsibility. This is the task of the small forward.
Yang Rui does not believe that the coaching staff did not allow Wallace to practice a three-pointer unless Darnell Walker and Butch Carter were stupid and hopeless.
In addition, Wallace's CIC is also unstable. He is only good at chaos, with a height of 203CM and a weight of 102 kilograms. He has outstanding qualities, and it is difficult for opponents to stop when he rushes.
Yang Rui will give Wallace a chance to perform. In the new season, there is no time to run in. If Wallace is a power forward, there will be a clear speed advantage in the 4th position and a fast break. But he will never admit that such a person is the core, and naturally he has nothing to do with makeup photos.
Carter joined, and the ball will not be handed over to Wallace in the positional battle. With O'Neal there, Wallace will make a pseudo starter at most. Regardless of his ability to evacuate or defend, he is worse than O'Neal.
Yang Rui quietly observed Schramf. He seemed to be very happy, chatting with Di Brown, his smiling eyes were curved.
Regardless of whether the situation is declining, this veteran's experience and technology will definitely help the team. Yang Rui intends to take the time to talk with him separately and arrange suitable tactics.
