Chapter 386: Numb bucks

The important talents are about to be lost, and the Wizards are actually very anxious, but it is useless to be anxious.
The Wizards are currently a rushing championship team, and the four players whose contracts are about to expire are all important areas of the team. All valuable chips must be exchanged for trading out, otherwise the team strength will be weakened in disguise.
But the point is, why do other teams spend a lot of money before rookie contracts expire?
After joining the deal, the players are not satisfied with this team. During the offseason, they refused to sign a contract with the team and turned to other teams. Isn't that a joke?
Even if there are restrictions on restricted free agency, this is a risky decision.
After all, knowing that the Wizards can’t keep everyone, why not give these players a generous offer during the offseason, instead of having to bleed themselves and take risks half a season early?
Of the four people whose contract is about to expire, only Kawhi Leonard has the potential to make other teams willing to take this risk. After all, with the talents currently displayed by Leonard, there is absolutely no loss of Curry. potential.
As for Thompson, Butler and Green, although they are also very good, but it is only possible to become an All-Star player.
...
In order to ensure the competitiveness of winning the championship, the Wizards have to keep these players, even if other teams next season will swarm like a shark smelling bloody.
Wang Xiao is also one of the sharks.
His goal is only one, Klay Thompson.
At present, the Bucks' biggest shortcoming is the lack of three-point shooting ability. Although Oladipo, Middleton and Knight and others have certain three-point shooting ability, they are far from being a deterrent weapon. Open enough room for breakthrough.
Wang Xiao needs a shooter that is accurate enough to frighten his opponent.
Thompson is undoubtedly the most suitable.
Not losing Curry’s stability and precision is Thompson’s consistent synonym. Thompson’s three-point shooting rate has never been below 40% throughout his career, and his height of 2.01 meters is in an advantage in the back position most of the time, good at No ball and excellent defense.
It can be said that Thompson is a player that any team is craving, and the Wizards are no exception.
It is a pity that although they value Thompson very much, they can never let Leonard go.
Thompson is an excellent puzzle in a strong team, but Leonard is a superstar who can completely change a team.
Even if the Wizards already have Curry, there is no reason to give up another superstar.
Wang Xiao is more than 80% sure that the Wizards will give up Thompson this summer and choose to renew their contract with Leonard.
After all, this is equivalent to choosing one of Kobe and Ray Allen, most people know how to choose.
...
These are all things that have to be considered in the summer of 2015. It is still 2014, and of course it is almost 2015.
After the Christmas War, the Bucks played three games on December 27, December 29 and December 31, respectively, against the Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets and Indiana Pacers. The Bucks played three games. The team all won and ended the last month of 2014 with a wave of three straight victories. 536 Literature. 536wx.

The entire 14 years is only a third of the 14-15 season. The first half of the next 15 years is the key to the playoffs of the league's teams.
In addition, the first round of voting for the All-Star Weekend in the 14-15 season also began at the end of December.
The All-Star weekend vote is basically nothing to the Bucks.
The highest popularity among the team is Oladipo, who averaged 16 points per game, and he was only ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference in the first round of votes. The votes are not as good as those of Jeremy Lin, Curry, Wade, Wall and other defenders. Not a little bit.
As for the letter brother Adetokounmpo, he couldn't even enter the top ten in the striker's vote. The eastern striker lineup is too strong. James, Anthony, Leonard, George... don't give a little rhythm. .
Although it was only the first round of voting, it was basically certain that the Bucks were all out.
It was a rookie challenge, and many of the Bucks decided to play.
Second-year rookies Adetokounmpo, Oladipo, and first-year rookie Jokic will all participate in the rookie challenge.
...
In early January, the Bucks' performance continued to rise steadily.
They defeated the Knicks away on January 2 and won five straight at home against the Suns on January 4. After losing to the Bulls and 76ers in a row, they won the Timberwolves and Jazz.
Throughout 14 games in January, the Bucks scored 9 wins and 5 losses. The overall record also came to 29 wins and 18 losses, with a win rate of 61.7%.
Relying on this win rate, the Bucks have been steadily staying in the fifth position in the East, and only three games left with the Atlanta Hawks ranked fourth in the East.
At this time, people were not particularly surprised, or that they were a little numb.
According to the current record of the Bucks, basically the quota for the playoffs has been locked. Now they are more interested in what will happen when the Bucks enter the playoffs.
When Wang Xiao coached the Wizards for the first time, he led the Wizards to the second round, and defeated the Celtics in a few games.
The Wizards also had Curry, Harden and other players.
Can this Bucks reach the height of the Wizards then? In this team, will there be superstars of the same level as Curry and Harden?
These things no matter how curious people are, but at least they still have no way of knowing it. They can only wait a few years later, when they think about it, and then sigh from the heart, Wang Xiao is a real NB, and he has dug so many super stars. .
...
As the time comes to February, the All-Star Weekend is also held as scheduled. The All-Star Weekend is jointly organized by the Knicks and the Nets. The All-Star Game will be held at Madison Square Garden, the home of the Knicks. Challenges, three-point contests, dunk contests and other events are held at the Barclays Center, the home team of the Nets.
Wang Xiao didn't go to the scene of the All-Star Weekend. After attending several times, he has completely lost interest in the All-Star Weekend. In fact, the All-Star Weekend is basically going downhill every year, and the ratings are not as good as one year. The format of the competition is also changed again and again.
Like the rookie challenge, the slam dunk contest has tried a variety of changes, for example, the rookie challenge has changed from the first grade second grade confrontation to the Shaq and Barkley teams, and this year has changed to the United States and international teams like this year, the dunk contest It also used the idea of ​​confrontation between the East and the West, but it has little effect.
In order to gain more popularity, the players are still happy to participate, but Wang Xiao as a coach, went to just play a role of soy sauce, it is better to take a rest at home for two days, taking advantage of the rare holiday, And taking advantage of the two days of the All-Star weekend, he also has time to make some plans and arrangements for the next.
