Build a Dream Dynasty

Eliminating the Eagles 4:2, the Cavaliers have become the biggest dark horse this season. They successfully reached the Eastern Conference finals under the condition that they are not optimistic. Gilbert, who has been the third and No. 1 pick in four years, finally raised his eyebrows.

Several questionable players in the team have also gained more recognition after obtaining such good results. Irving, who was criticized for "leading the two top picks", got rid of the flashy and sharp label, and even competed with Curry in the mouth of the media. Although he won the Rookie of the Year steadily, there are never a lot of doubts around Wiggins. If Parker does not have a season reimbursement, if Porzingis becomes the main center of the Nets earlier, Wiggins may not be able to get it. This honor, but in the playoffs, Wiggins's stable performance gave him a lot of extra points. Fernandez's three-year, $45 million contract was also questioned for a premium before, but in the playoffs, Fernandez became the Cavaliers' second-leading scorer and helped the team achieve such good results. A little premium is nothing.

But facing the 76ers led by James and Harden, no matter how hard the Cavaliers work, there is still a gap in strength. Irving showed his outstanding scoring ability, averaging 36.5 points per game in the series, even against James. Harden's performance is commendable, but the overall strength of the Cavaliers is indeed larger than that of the 76ers, and the overall age of the players is too young. Except for Fernandez and Varejao in the starting lineup, no one else has playoff experience. On the bench, only Jack and Gerald Wallace maintained their output and efficiency in the series.

4:1, the 76ers made it easy for the emergency finals, and their opponent in the finals was also a youth guard. The Jazz in the finals, with Klay Thompson's opening performance in the Western Conference finals, defeated the Spurs 4:2 and reached the finals. Thompson averaged 35 points per game in the Western Conference finals, especially in the last Game 6. He hit 12 3-pointers in a single game, tying Curry's record for the number of 3-pointers made in a single game in the playoffs. Another key player in the Jazz's victory was second-year center Gobert. In the Western Conference finals, Daniel Wu of France averaged 15.5 rebounds per game, including 3.8 offensive rebounds. The combination of him and Favors was in the interior. Rob Duncan and Split, the two teamed up, averaging 27 rebounds per game for the team to win multiple opportunities for bullets to return.

This season's Finals matchup is somewhat similar to the Finals match between the Nets and the Thunder two years ago. On the one hand, there is a duo who is eager to prove himself, and on the other hand, there is a young man who has no superstar and no experience, and made it to the finals without being optimistic. However, the result is very different from two years ago. The young players of the Jazz exposed their weaknesses in front of the 76ers. The team was unable to prevent James and Harden from killing again and again. In the offensive section, the team did not have many inside scoring methods. Germany's comprehensive skills but lack of stable scoring weapons, Thompson's lack of dribbling ability, and Jeremy Lin's single-line breakthrough have been amplified one by one. . . . .

Also in a 4;1, the 76ers defeated the Jazz and successfully won the championship this season.

With an average performance of 31+8+8 in the finals, James won the FMVP without any suspense. This is the second FMVP in his career. With 2 championships + 2FMVP + 4MVP plus the accumulation of super career data, James can already Included in the discussion of the top ten in history. And Harden won his first championship ring, plus the fourth MVP ranking in the regular season, and officially entered the ranks of the league's first-line superstars.

And the Jazz's ability to reach the Finals in this chaotic season is enough to prove their success. Next, their young people will continue to improve. If the Nets can grab Durant, maybe they will. Is the strongest in the future west. The premise is that they can keep all the young players in the team.

The strength of the opponent will further inspire Jiang Mingliang's fighting spirit. After an unsuccessful season, Jiang Mingliang needs the team to make a certain degree of blood change. In fact, in Jiang Mingliang's plan, the 1415 season is indeed a year when he prepares to adjust the lineup and accumulates a lot of money. After temporarily getting rid of the threat of the super luxury tax, the team's next management can be attacked, retreated and defended, and it is more comfortable. .

Under Jiang Mingliang's painstaking management, the Nets do not have a junk contract in the lineup, and the current lineup has 13 players:

PG: Curry (3 years, 48 ​​million), Tyler Johnson, (team option, 1 year, 1 million) Prigioni

SG: JR Smith (1 year, $6 million), Carter (1+1 team option, $8 million)

SF: Leonard (5 years, $80 million), Aminu, Covington (3 years, $2.2 million)

PF: Dream Chaser Green (4 years, $44 million), Terrence Jones

C: Lopez (1 year, $16 million), Porzingis (3 years, $13.5 million), O'Quinn

It can be seen that after renewing Leonard and Dream Chasing Green in advance, the team's salary space is not sufficient, and the competitiveness in the free agency market is not strong, which is why the team needs to find a way to clean up Los Angeles. The reason for Pez's big contract.

Expiring contracts, there is no need to worry about the lack of a market this summer. After all, when the NBA and the broadcaster are about to sign a new broadcast contract, the labor and management will also enter the negotiation stage for the increase of the salary cap. It is still unknown if it will rise in one breath. If it is the former, the NBA will be temporarily stable, but if it is the latter, it is very likely that there will be a drastic change in the summer of 2016, which will be a crazy free agent market. Lopez's expiring contract also has high value to use. And Lopez himself, knowing that Porzingis is the future of the team, Lopez is also more willing to play in a team where he can be the main player, in order to win a big job in the summer of 2016. contract.

Shortly after the finals, on June 26, the 2015 NBA draft will officially begin.

To be honest, there are not many good rookies in the 15th year, especially when Porzingis landed in the NBA one year ahead of schedule under the operation of Jiang Mingliang, this rookie only has All-Star potential. Booker. As for Russell, Jiang Mingliang is really not optimistic about this point guard with moving speed.

Without any draft rights, the Nets’ presence in this draft is destined to be very low. Jiang Mingliang does not intend to take the initiative. If he has the opportunity to get a second-round pick, maybe he will try to choose Josh Richardson, Norman R. Powell, Hernangomez, but Jiang Mingliang doesn't plan to force it if he doesn't have this opportunity. After all, the Nets already have role players like Tyler Johnson and Covington that can be cultivated. Selected Royce O'Neal, this type of player is enough.

In comparison, it is more realistic to push Durant and Antetokounmpo to trade.

Compared with the conversation a month ago, this time, Presti's confidence is much weaker. The reason is very simple. Durant has no thoughts at all. He has made up his mind to leave the Thunder and pursue his dream. ,

Although the next season is the Thunder's strongest season, Westbrook, Holiday, Durant, Ibaka, Olynyk's starting lineup is very competitive, Livingston, Waiters , Ray Allen, West, Kanter's bench lineup is also first-class in the league. However, Durant really doesn't want to wait any longer, especially this season, James has already won his second championship trophy. The "Janduku" that is often discussed together is only him so far, no MVP, no championship, no FMVP, nothing.

Out of respect for the parent team, Durant's agent team did not release any further news to put pressure on the Thunder. He just wanted to leave and did not intend to stalemate the relationship with the parent team. But this was tricky enough for Presti. Trading Durant basically announced that the Thunder lost the chance to compete for the championship, and at the same time pushed the Nets to a higher position.

"Leonard, Porzingis, the Knicks' first-round pick in the hands of the Nets, the Nets' 2018, 2020 first-round picks, and the 2019 first-round swap rights." Presti proposed. Get the bargaining chips you need.

To put it simply, it almost hollowed out the Nets' future. In other words, all valuable belongings except Curry and Green were taken away. To tell the truth, Mr. General is Mr. General, and Jiang Mingliang was a little shocked by the way the lion opened his mouth.

"What? Sam, are you kidding? If your asking price is this, it seems that we don't need to negotiate anymore." Jiang Mingliang looked provoked.

There is still one year left on the contract, and the player has made it clear that he wants to leave. Under various unfavorable factors, Presti will hollow out half of the Nets team. If something goes wrong, Durant will slap his **** and leave next season. The Nets fell to the bottom in an instant.

Even without this, Jiang Mingliang would not be able to make such a bargaining chip. The Knicks' draft right is put in Jiang Mingliang's hands. At worst, it is Mitchell. At best, it is possible to get a Doncic. Using this kind of chips to exchange Durant is not a problem of excessive blood loss. Oh, it's completely the marrow of the Nets!

The offer given by Jiang Mingliang only included Leonard plus the Nets’ first-round picks in 2018 and 2020, excluding the draft rights of Porzingis and the New York Knicks. From his point of view, Leonard is not much worse than Durant, but from Presti's point of view, he obviously feels that he is taking advantage of the fire.

"Sam, think about it again, there are not many teams that Kevin is willing to go to." Jiang Mingliang reminded.

To tell the truth, we are in the same alliance, and we can't see each other when we look up. Jiang Mingliang doesn't like to use the relationship between the buyer's market and the seller's market to measure the bargaining chip of the transaction. Many times, the transaction is completely destroyed and the relationship between each other is destroyed. It is not for anyone. Good, but that doesn't mean that he will give up his advantage when he has the advantage. The biggest advantage in his hand is that Durant's contract expires in one year, and in the summer of 2016, the craziest free agent market in history will be born. As long as the Nets release a little cap space, they can sign Durant naked. At that time, the Thunder will get nothing.

The two sides lacked similar perceptions of their respective players and the situation facing the Thunder, and the differences were not small. The temporary shelving of transactions has also become inevitable.

Durant's deal cannot be reached for the time being, and Antetokounmpo's deal is also not smooth. There is no suitable third party willing to join the transaction.

But the good news is not without it. The Pelicans in the West have made it clear that they are interested in Lopez. The price is only to exchange next year's second-round picks, which is about no cost. The Lakers and Pacers are both interested in Lopez. Some interests depend on how Lopez chooses himself.

In order to thank Lopez for his contribution to the team, if the chip gap is not large, the Nets can let Lopez choose the next home.

Towns became the No. 1 pick without any suspense. The Timberwolves are suitable for this choice without any entanglement~www.wuxiamtl.com~ In the Timberwolves, Garnett has agreed to renew his contract with the team in advance. For Towns , he might be a good leader.

The Lakers, with the No. 2 overall pick, chose Russell, a choice that many expected. Originally, more people were optimistic about Jabbar Okafor, but the inspection work personally in charge of the magician, how good it is, will soon be known. Russell himself is also looking forward to going to Los Angeles to play. Los Angeles, the Lakers, it must be good for Okafor to go to the Timberwolves in free agent,

In comparison, Chicago is not as good as Los Angeles. But it is also one of the top 3 big cities in the United States, and the growth environment of the Bulls is much better than that of the Lakers, and Okafor seems to be not at a loss.

The Knicks with the fourth pick selected Cauley-Stein, who should replace Chandler, but the boos from New York fans at the scene showed the problem, and Knicks fans didn't seem to welcome him.

The Kings team's idea of ​​​​building the team is as chaotic as always. They chose Mudiay. Do they want to gamble on Mudiay's talent?

Among the second-round picks Jiang Mingliang paid more attention to, Harrell joined the Rockets, Hernangomez was selected by the 76ers, Josh Richardson joined the Heat, and Norman Powell joined the Raptors. Royce O'Neal, everyone left it to him.

With a bit of provocation, shortly after the draft, the selected rookies had not had time to sign with their home team, and the Nets immediately announced that they would sign Royce with a 3-year, 3 million non-guaranteed contract. O'Neal, he will represent the team in the summer league.

For Royce O'Neal, this is really a lucky thing. He was still depressed and was very confused about his future. In a blink of an eye, he became the object of observation of the powerful Nets, and even got the MVP library. welcome in.
