Vol 3 Chapter 535: Free agent market

? American time, June 24, 1995, NBA's expansion draft is in progress.
Next season's NBA due to the Toronto Raptors and Vancouver Grizzlies, the team will expand from 27 teams to 29 teams.
In order to add players to these two new teams, NBA will hold an expansion draft or expansion draft.
These two new teams are based on tossing coins to obtain draft picks and the priority of expanding the draft.
The Vancouver Grizzlies won the coin toss, so they got the sixth pick in this year's draft, while the Toronto Raptors were the seventh pick.
At the same time, the Vancouver Grizzlies will also have priority in picking players from other teams.
Now nba has a total of 27 teams, each team will have eight protection lists, players who are not on these eight protection lists, in addition to free agents, these two teams choose, each team can only Pick one, so the Grizzlies will get 14 chances, and the Raptors will get 13 chances.
Although each team has eight protection lists, it protects the interests of the original team to the greatest extent, but for many playoff teams such as the Bulls, Rockets and Lakers, this expansion draft is very Disgusting.
Most of these strong teams are rotated by nine people and ten people. Even if eight are protected, they will lose blood.
For example, the Vancouver Grizzlies, the first to select the Bulls' main point guard bj Armstrong.
The Bulls can be said to be the strongest team in the NBA lineup. In the face of such an expanded draft, the Bulls are also the worst.
Finally, the Bulls weighed again and again, choosing Steve Kerr from starting point guard Bj Armstrong and backup guard Steve Kerr.
In this season, Steve Kerr is as important as BJ Armstrong.
But in the next season, Steve Kerr is obviously much better than Armstrong without returning to the Jordan Bulls without playing a triangle offense.
However, even if it is so, if the Bulls can choose, the Bulls are definitely not willing to lose their team's starting point guard.
Faced with this expansion draft, the Bulls are very tangled, the Lakers are also very tangled.
Lin Han, the magician, Eddie Jones, Van Exel, Wilkins, Rodman, these six people are sure to protect.
Van Exel had to wait for the trading market to open and send him to the Nuggets for Mutombo.
And who are these two protected places for?
Lin Han also has two very good and very good brothers in the Lakers, Aron Williams and Antonio Harvey.
If these two people are chosen, Lin Han will definitely be very unhappy, but if the two are protected, what should Trevorofin do?
Jerry West will naturally not discuss with Lin Han on the protection list, and it is absolutely impossible for the wicked to let Lin Han take it.
So in the end, Jerry West protected Aron Williams and Antonio Harvey.
Trevor Ruffin, an important rotation player for the Los Angeles Lakers last season, the player who scored more than the pair of Jordan and Pippen in the finals and Lin Han was put out of the protection list.
No surprises. After the Vancouver Grizzlies chose Bj Armstrong, the Toronto Raptors also chose Trevor Ruffin.
No matter how short Trevor Rufin is, he is after all the best sixth man last season and his scoring ability is quite outstanding.
It can be said that this expansion draft is the best player in addition to bj Armstrong.
Therefore, after the expansion draft was completed, the two teams that played the finals last season, the Bulls and the Lakers became the biggest losers.
Especially the Lakers. Now the whole world knows that the Lakers and the Nuggets have completed the draft transaction between Van Exel and Mutombo, and the documents are already under review. The transaction will be officially completed when the trading day opens.
Now that the Lakers have no starting point guard Van Exel and no backup point guard Trevor Ruffin, this team's No. 1 position has completely gone wrong, which is even more than the Bulls look like awful.
After knowing that he was chosen by the Toronto Raptors, Trevor Ruffin was crying.
Based on his performance last season, as long as he plays next season and the two-year rookie contract expires, he can get a good salary at the Lakers and become a rich man in Los Angeles.
It’s good now that I have been selected to a bitter cold place like Toronto, and it’s not the United States anymore, okay!
You know, he is a New Yorker!
A New Yorker, who originally wanted to be a rich man in Los Angeles, finally went to Toronto.
Lin Han also sighed when he saw off his little brother.
Trevor Ruffin was originally Rodman's younger brother, but then he followed Rodman and mixed with him.
Even though his relationship with Ruffin was not close to Eddie Jones and Aron Williams, he was still reluctant to leave.
Trevor Rufen's strength is really good, especially his three-pointer, in this league, it is definitely a quasi-first-class existence.
More reliable than Van Maniac's three points.
He is just a little shorter, and his offensive skills are quite excellent.
Although it may be a bit reluctant to play the sixth man in the championship team, but playing the sixth man in a strong team and even the starter in a lottery team, it is completely no problem.
Otherwise, he could not win the best sixth man trophy last season, but he was a rookie last season.
The rookie's best sixth man, this potential is also very good.
In the end, it can only be said that Jerry West still understands his heart, giving up Trevor Ruffin, who is more powerful, and leaving the best relationship with him.
"Trevo, don't think so much, it doesn't matter if you are in Toronto, as long as you behave well and pay the price, you will definitely be able to come back in the future"
"Boss..."
"Don’t be frustrated, you must play your own worth. Toronto Raptors is a new team. You are the best sixth man and a champion player. In the Raptors, don’t be humble, you should be the Raptors. Leader, even if you don’t want the team’s performance, you must ensure your own data.
"Also, pay attention to safety outside the venue.
"Boss..."
"Trevo, that's all I can say, I look forward to your growth, and look forward to you can let Jerry beg you to accept the Los Angeles contract and stage the return of the king."
"Boss, I will definitely be back!"
Seeing Trevor Ruffin's indignant look when he mentioned Jerry West, he knew that Jerry West had successfully helped him back.
Trevor Ruffin left Los Angeles with great resentment against Jerry West.
Lin Han hopes that he can brush up some data in Toronto with these complaints, and practice more levels.
But for Jerry West, Trevorufin's departure was just a small episode.
Trevor Rufen's departure is a very regrettable thing, but it is only a regret.
Although the Lakers have no point guards available, the team now needs money, money, space and space. It is still a defending champion. It is not difficult to sign a starting point guard from the free market.
There are still many good point guards in this year's free market, such as Dana Barros who averaged 20+7 stats last season.
The small point guard, who is only 1.8 meters tall, can be said to be Trevor Rufen's enhanced version of the offense.
However, for the Lakers, his height and defense are worse than Rufen.
Moreover, as a Bostonian in Massachusetts, no team can compete with the Celtics.
There have been rumors that he is ready to return to the Celtics and sign with the Celtics.
However, if the Lakers are really ready to rob him, the Los Angeles Lakers still have a chance if they open a contract that Barros can’t refuse.
In addition to Barros, another big-name point guard free agent is Scott Skiles, who was the nba single record holder.
The now experienced 32-year-old point guard is also a very good choice, with an excellent three-point point and an online organization, which is a little older.
However, in the Lakers, he does not need a long time to control the field.
These two are the two best No. 1 positions in the free market this year. No matter who wins, they are a good addition for the Lakers.
Even, if not just to focus on the number one position, but to expand a bit more, the Los Angeles Lakers can even grab the All-Star of the Pistons, Rodman's former teammate, finals mvp Joe Dumas!
Qiao Dumas is not a purely scoring defender, his outside skills are extremely comprehensive, scoring, organization, defense, breakthrough, shooting, it can be said that there is no dead end.
Even at this year's age, outside players are generally not very strong three-pointers, Joe Dumas is now out.
After Isaiah Thomas retired, Joe Dumas was even the Pistons' organizer for a long time.
Moreover, Qiao Dumas is definitely not only his ability, his emotional intelligence is more terrible than his ability.
In that bad boy team, Joe Dumas can be said to be a different kind.
Jordan was played so miserably by the Pistons, and was almost shadowed. In Jordan's mind, the most hated player has always been the Pistons' killers.
One of the most hated is Isaiah Thomas, the boss of the bad boy.
But for Joe Dumas, Jordan is straightforward. Joe Dumas is his most respected player and the best player in the entire NBA defense.
Before Lin Hanlai nba, Qiao Dumas is Jordan's best player to defend him.
In the Bad Boys Army, Joe Dumas is a stranger. His defense is clean and does nothing bad, so Jordan respects him.
But in a group of bad guys, if you want to be a stranger and a good person, that is not quite enough.
Qiao Dumas perfectly handled his relationship with the team's style.
Even now as a Lakers player, Super Spiny Rodman is quite a recognition of Joe Dumas.
It can be said that in all respects, Joe Dumas is one of the most perfect players in this league.
If Joe Dumas can be dug up, this is the biggest success in the Lakers free market!
The five-year 6 million contract between Joe Dumas and the Pistons expired this year. Under the next contract, Joe Dumas is definitely preparing for a big contract.
As a finals mvp, Joe Dumas's career total salary is less than 7 million US dollars. It can be said that Joe Dumas is holding a salary that is far below his ability every year.
Therefore, a sufficiently high salary can touch Joe Dumas.
This is the advantage of the Lakers. Now that the Lakers are still holding rookie contracts, the contracts of other players are also terrible. The Lakers now have a lot of salary to sign Joe Dumas.
As long as Joe Dumas is willing to leave the Pistons.
And this is the biggest difficulty for the Lakers to sign Joe Dumas, Joe Dumas' own will!
As one of the bad boy members, although Joe Dumas is a good boy among the bad boy members, the love for the Pistons is beyond doubt.
To let him leave the Pistons, money is of course very important, but what is more important than money is his own will.
In fact, after completing Mutombo’s deal, Jerry West’s biggest goal was to sign Joe Dumas.
Even after Trevor Ruffin was sent to the Raptors, Jerry West personally brought Lin Han and Rodman to Detroit.
Joe Dumas is the Lakers' first choice for supplementing the outside line. If Joe Dumas can win, then Barros or Skiles can be said to be the same.
Throughout the 1990s, the Pistons were definitely one of the most legendary teams in the NBA. In the era of Demon Birds and Jordan, no one can ignore the existence of the Pistons.
Because, whether it is a magician or a big bird or Jordan, have suffered a big loss here.
It is such a team, after the team's legendary coach Chuck Daly left, the team fell into a trough.
This team hasn't made the playoffs in three seasons.
The prestige created by the Bad Boys Corps is now almost gone.
The current Pistons had become a bullying team before Grant Hill came.
Even if Grant Hill came, this team was still lacking last season.
So, the Pistons changed hands again.
The new coach hired was still Lin Han's old acquaintance. At that time, the Pistons opponent, the Bulls coach Doug Collins.
Lin Han and Rodman came to Detroit, as soon as the Pistons' new head coach Doug Collins knew.
Because Lin Han and Rodman came to dig the corner of Joe Dumas, Joe Dumas did not hide the Pistons~EbookFREE.me~ Everyone met very brightly.
This is also Qiao Dumas' request.
If the team's head coach and general manager are not here, he will not discuss anything with Lin Han.
It must be said that in a place like nba where the collective IQ is not very high, people like Qiao Dumas, Lin Han really saw it for the first time.
In the past, he used Barkley and their guys to keep their IQ low. They didn't know much.
But now he found that Joe Dumas didn't seem to be so easy to pit.
At the very least, it's a matter of provocation or out of nothing, it seems to have been seen by Qiao Dumas at the beginning...
