Chapter 707: [Rebirth team building, high cost performance]

One day later, the Sun held a championship parade, and people all over the city were familiar with this process, without much preparation. Phoenix is ​​not like other cities, the weather is too hot, the parade can not play tricks, the same line every time, it must be at night.
After the parade, Guo Xu attended the celebration party, Megan was away, he had a lot of time to chat with his teammates.
Owner Brian Colangelo and Guo Xu chatted a lot, and the team is about to change blood in the summer.
Blake, James Jones, Josh Powell, Haslem and Nene are free men. Two veterans retired, accounting for half of the team.
Ariza was a total of 42 rookies in the second round in 2004 and signed a 2 + 1 contract. The next season is also the last year. If the team chooses to renew his contract in advance, they can not execute the contract next season.
But Ariza has already indicated that he does not want to renew the contract in advance. He already has two championship rings, which also proves his strength and is an important rotation for the team. If he wins again with the Suns next season and holds three rings as soon as he enters the league, there will definitely be a team willing to award him a premium contract.
The mentality of the players with the ring will be a bit different. Ariza wants money and ball rights more. He was underestimated in the second round. He always wanted to prove that he can do more things.
There is still Josh Howard who wants to leave the team, and the management is ready to send him away. Although the Suns can retain the core lineup this summer, they are under pressure to renew their role players.
The postseason role players are playing well, and the offseason becomes a problem. The other team wants to compete with the Suns. A simpler way is to dig corners. Without a large contract, ordinary middle-class Sun is not easy to renew.
Sun intends to renew Guo Xu's brother Haslem with the full middle class first, and Haslem will certainly be willing to stay. He is a person who likes stability and brother basketball and has already set up his home in Phoenix.
Haslem averaged 9.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in the regular season, scoring 65 games. He played almost every game in the playoffs, averaging 32 minutes, 9.2 points, 8 rebounds and 1.2 assists. He shot 51.2% from the field.
As long as he agrees that Sun ’s middle class offer is a pay cut to stay behind, other teams will definitely be willing to draw him a higher contract. However, Haslem is not stupid. He won the solar championship. He also signed three advertising endorsements with high exposure. Even his girlfriend is a member of the management of the "Fat Fox" company.
With the exception of Haslem, it is not easy for others to stay, especially the two who have gained a lot of performance opportunities in the playoffs.
Blake played 36 minutes per game in the playoffs, scoring 9.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 0.7 steals. His shooting percentage was 46.9% and his three-point percentage was 41.7%. Considering that he is very young, there must be a team lacking point guards who wants him.
Alstom left the Suns and played in other teams. Blake has better shooting and organization than Street King.
As a swingman in positions 3 and 4, Jones can also play a role in the tactical system. The playoffs are slightly inferior, and the regular season has a three-point percentage.
Guo Xu whispered: "Try to stay with Steve. Excellent point guards are not easy to find. If other people let it go at a premium, let us help in the free market."
To be precise, it is not easy to find a point guard who can play a double-back formation with Guo Xu, and must be at least 190cm tall, otherwise the two will definitely have a problem playing defense together.
Brian nodded: "Don't forget to take a look at the free market list when you go to the movie, call me whoever you like, I will dig it. The high draft picks have been settled, as long as everything goes well on the draft day, we Will trade. "
"I have two candidates now. It is not difficult to strengthen. Someone will definitely want to join the Suns next season. We only need to find people who are suitable for the Sun system." Guo Xu laughed.
"Oh? Who?"
Guo Xu said two names. Instead of Kukotka, the Bulls freeman power forward Tim Thomas.
This is a typical example of a waste of talent. In 1997, the 7th pick in the first round was selected, with a height of 208CM and a weight of 108 kg. As early as in high school, Tim was labeled as the NBA Tomorrow Star. After entering the NBA, he developed into a player of the type of Robert Horry, floating in the perimeter shooting. He is not as good as Horry when he was young, and his defense is poor and he does not work hard.
Tim is very suitable for the Sun's system. He has the speed to participate in running and blasting. He has a high field goal percentage. He can open up space and defend the pick and roll in positional battles.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Tim Thomas was laid off in the middle of the Bulls' passive downtime, but he was blessed by misfortune. The basic salary joined the Sun led by Nash and reached the Western Conference finals with the team, and the data is not bad. He averaged 31.8 minutes, scored 15.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.9 steals. He shot 49.1% from the field and 44.4% from the field.
Relying on the beautiful statistics of the playoffs and several key three-pointers, Tim won another big contract and signed a 4-year high-paying long-term contract with the Clippers for 4 years. He never played the 2006 playoffs again. Level.
In this life, Tim was a substitute for the Bulls. He averaged only 16.4 minutes in the playoffs, scoring 7.7 points and 3 rebounds. 37.2% three-point shooting was the only bright spot. With this data, he certainly won't get a big contract.
Bryan is preparing to give Tim a two-year low-wage contract, coupled with the championship temptation, there is a good chance of winning him. If Tim wants a middle class, there is no need to talk, he is not worth it. Other teams also know that he is not worth it, as long as he is not stupid, he should choose to reduce his salary.
The other one is the swingman Anthony Parker, born in 1975, 31 years old this year, that is a combat player.
Parker was 198 cm tall and weighed 98 kg. He was selected by the Nets in 21st place in the first round in 1997. The man had a bad luck early in his career, playing for the 76ers for two seasons and for the Magic for a season, playing a total of 55 games and continuously reimbursing for serious injuries.
In 2000, Parker became a famous glass man. He had no ball to play in the NBA and was forced to move to the European arena.
Unexpectedly, Parker quickly got rid of injuries and troubles in Europe, and mixed up. He helped the Israeli Maccabi four times to win domestic league and cup championships and three times to win the UEFA Champions League.
In the 2003-04 season, he was elected MVP of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Last season he played 25 games in the Champions League, scoring 14.8 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
Parker wanted to return to the NBA in 2005 and participated in the Summer League, but unfortunately no team signed with him. Guo Xu has paid special attention to his movements. He has excellent three-point skills in Europe, his style is selfless, and his defense is tough.
Overall ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Parker is a good role player, not a single function. He can suddenly shoot and organize, most of his shots are in the middle and long range, which is very suitable for the Suns tactical system.
Last summer, the Suns were strong and strong, and Guo Xu did not need to propose a swingman to the management. Howard is leaving this year, and Ariza also wants to get a big contract. It is safe to sign a swingman as a substitute.
If Xu Ariza is left in the middle-class contract, Guo Xu thinks it is worthwhile, but Ariza may not be satisfied, maybe there will be a nervous team willing to gamble on his talent.
Parker joined, the competition in positions 2 and 3 is more fierce, many people share playing time, 80% of Ariza's data is not as good as last season, it is difficult to sign a large contract in 2007, Guo Xu suspects that he will seek until the contract expires transaction.
Regardless of Ariza's future, he will ensure four consecutive championships next season and strengthen the lineup as much as possible.
Winning the championship is Guo Xu's only pursuit. He knows that it is impossible to have five consecutive regular season MVPs and the league will not allow it.
It is easy for the reborn to build a team. He can always find players with high cost performance or young potential players. As long as the recruitment is successful, the Suns' lineup will be very scary next season.
