The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

But now there is something that Xu Xiao is worried about.

That is, these big brothers in the team, I don't know if they can all stay.

Now, Oden has begun to be a little dissatisfied with his internal low position, but he has not fully expressed it, but he has complained at the player meeting that he feels that he has too little possession of the ball.

And Roy already has this sign, but Roy's performance is not as obvious as Oden's, he just feels it through some expressions and details on the field.

As for Westbrook, I can rest assured that Westbrook is loyal to the team. Even a city like Oklahoma can stick to it, let alone Minnesota.

And the most worrying thing is Josh. Now Xu Xiao has invested heavily in him. The only S-level star card is given to him. If the normal historical trend is followed, then Josh will definitely go in 13 years. Seek a big contract.

Although he can meet the money requirements, Josh may not consider Minnesota. After all, his worth has already been established, and he may not necessarily want to go to a big city like Los Angeles or New York.

"No, I still have to hoard some talent, keep it as a spare, and there is room for the team, so I have to grow up."

What Xu Xiao has to do right now is very simple, just two things

The first is to strengthen the inside line, take over a few more expired contracts during the transaction process, and expand the space for next year. After all, Oden's big contract should take effect next year, and Westbrook's big contract should also take effect the next year.

The second is to find new talents.

This year's draft is an opportunity, and Xu Xiao will make a large-scale rectification of the Timberwolves.

This year's No. [-] pick was won by the Clippers, which can be regarded as compensation for the regret of not being able to get the No. [-] pick last year.

This year's champion must be Wall. There is no suspense at all.

The second pick is the Rockets. Last season, Tracy McGrady was traded. After Yao Ming suffered a serious injury, the Rockets directly entered the stage of poor performance.

It is also a matter of course to win the second pick, and they used this pick to select Evan Turner.

The Warriors who followed closely selected Favors with the No. [-] pick, and also chose an inside partner for Griffin, who will pay next season.

Immediately after, the Nets selected Wesley Johnson, the No. 4 small forward in the United States. Facts have proved that he can do nothing but run fast and jump. The most impressive thing in his career should be The famous scene of being slumped on the ground by Harden flying [-] meters, and the throw-in was broken by the sledgehammer Anderson.

Until here, everyone's choices are relatively normal, without any changes.

However, the Wizards with the fifth overall pick skipped Cousins ​​and selected the famous Beijing legend, Youdu.

This choice confuses Xu Xiaoyou. Could it be that he doesn't want to be a center forward because he has Hibbert inside?

I don't know what people are thinking, so I can only continue to pay attention to the next choice.

The Philadelphia digital man with the sixth pick did not hesitate to take Cousins ​​directly, regardless of the fact that there is still an excellent center Joakim Noah in the team.

After that, the Raptors selected the handsome white guy Hayward, the Kings selected Monroe, the Pistons selected the strongest Paul George, the Hornets selected Aminu, and the Bulls selected Patterson by accident.

"It's coming to us soon." After the Pacers selected, the next step is the Timberwolves with the Grizzlies in the first round.

The No.13 pick is a good pick. Who should I choose?

In the end Xu Xiao chose the former between Bledsoe and Bradley.

Although Bradley is also a good piece of the puzzle, able to defend and shoot, Bledsoe's physical talent is better, more like Westbrook.

If I can give him the right skill card, then Bledsoe will also be one of the top point guards in the league.

"What about the Nuggets?"

"It's easier to talk about the Nuggets, but it's not easy to talk about the Clippers. They think more about the first round."

Xu Xiao sighed, and then said:

"Add some price to them, give them our first round this year, and send them a second round, we don't want rookies this year."

"Boss, it's a little risky, this year we just selected a Bledsoe?"

"That's it. We don't have time to keep too many newcomers to grow up. This year is the year of our rise."

"Okay, I'll get in touch now."

"Boss, over there agreed."

After a while, the first deal in this year's draft was born, and it was a big deal.

The Timberwolves sent out: Hayes, Outlaw, Dragic, Matthews, Budinger and the 25th overall pick this year, the 55th overall second round pick, and the 11 second round pick .

Got the Nuggets' JR Smith, "Birdman" Anderson + the 12-year first-round pick and the Clippers' "bearded" Baron Davis, and the Clippers' 14-year first-round pick.

The Nuggets got Hayes, Outlaw, Dragic and Matthews from the Timberwolves. At the same time, they sent Kleiza, Anthony Carter and center Petro to the Clippers to get El Thornton.

The Clippers got Budinger of the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves' 10-year first-round pick and second-round pick, and 11-year second-round pick.

Xu Xiao's purpose for doing this is very clear. Next season, the Timberwolves will be in a state of going all out to compete for the championship, and they will not give newcomers too many opportunities to practice. At the same time, it is also to give these young people a better platform to show themselves.

This deal can be said to be a win-win for the Timberwolves and these young people.

At the same time, the two first-round picks I harvested are also very useful.

With the Timberwolves as the first shot, the next transactions will emerge in endlessly.

The Nets followed suit and directly traded Yi Jianlian to the Clippers.

After that, the 76ers also sent Noah to the Celtics in order to make room for the test.

The Rocket Supermarket also opened, and Battier and Millsap gave it to the Thunder almost for nothing.

While everyone was busy strengthening themselves, a blockbuster was thrown directly into the league.

"LeBron James announced that he would bring his talents to the South Coast and join the Heat to form the Big Three with Wade and Bosh."

The Big Three in Miami, the formation is complete!

As soon as the news was released, it immediately exploded.

For a while, James was deeply involved in the vortex of public opinion. Xu Xiao also sneered at James' operations back then.

But then Durant refreshed Xu Xiao's bottom line again, so it's not unacceptable to look back now.

Xu Xiao can accept it, but it doesn't mean that other people can also accept it.

The one who was most stimulated was James' good brother Anthony.

Now "Melon" has also entered his golden age, but the honor he deserves is not as good as half that of James, and his friend Wade of the same session also won the championship early, leaving him far behind.

This year, Bosh teamed up with Wade James, and it is a matter of time before the championship, and now he has nothing left.

Not for a while, not even a scoring champion, and never made it to the conference finals. Now the Nuggets have traded with the Timberwolves and sent away their good brother JR Smith in exchange for a bunch of young people.

This made Anthony feel even more hopeless to win the championship, so he simply had a showdown with the management, hoping to trade himself.

Of course Xu Xiao knows that in the middle of the season, the Nuggets will complete the Anthony deal, and at the same time, the Jazz will trade Deron next season because of the conflict between Deron and coach Sloan.

But now Xu Xiao doesn't want to take care of too many other people's affairs, he still has the last goal of this offseason.

"Yao, you also know about your injury. After such a serious injury, even if you recover, you will completely withdraw from the ranks of the league's top centers. So I'm really sorry, we can't sign this maximum salary."

Mo Gou on the phone is still brainwashing Yao Ming, trying to lower the price to 400-600 million and sign Dayao with a middle class contract.

After all, Yao Ming is still a gold-lettered signboard, the Rockets' cash cow, and even the rebuilt Rockets still need Yao Ming to attract traffic for them.

"I see, I'm thinking about it."

Yao Ming hung up the phone directly, obviously he was also a little unhappy, after all, he had no credit but hard work in the Rockets these years.

Moreover, I have been completely healthy in the past three years, and I have also played a bright moment in the Rockets, one for one team and two for the second team, one in the Western Conference finals and one in the Western Conference semifinals.

But now because of his serious injury, he has to let go of the grind and kill the donkey. This is very difficult for the emotional Chinese players to accept. At this moment, the phone reminded him again.

"I told Mr. Morey to let me think about it."

"What the hell are you thinking about? Do you still want to play for the Rockets with no future until you die?" A melodious national quintessence came from the other end of the phone.

Only then did Yao Ming realize that the caller was actually Xu Xiao.

"I'm sorry, Boss Xu, what do you want from me?" Yao Ming said apologetically.

"Dayao, let me make a long story short. I really need a backup center right now, a backup center who can beat Oden violently. I have space and time here. I can wait for you to heal your injuries, and I have the ability to win the championship in the next two years."

Xu Xiao said the word "championship" with special emphasis.

"Boss Xu, I really want to think about it. You know, my family is in Houston, and I own some properties in Houston."

"Yao, I want to tell you that you may not be able to play a few games in Houston. Your injury requires at least a year of recuperation. After another year of hard work, will Houston still have your place? You How long can your body support you?"

Xu Xiao directly interrupted Dayao's words and started his own PUA

"Houston is a team that is about to fail. Their boss is stingy and the general manager is not human. Think about it for yourself. If I hadn't given Millsap away for nothing in the past few years to help you win Artest, you would have today. results? Or as a professional player, you don’t want this championship, or stepping on the championship of the Heat’s Big Three.”

"Believe me, Yao, as long as you and I work together, we will definitely make a difference. I can also provide you with a full middle class, and our medical team is much better than Houston. Look at how our team has suffered over the years. What about the serious injury?"

Seeing that Yao Ming began to waver, Xu Xiao struck while the iron was hot and continued to output:

"As for your industry in Houston, Minnesota is fine, and you have to know that part of your industry is based on your reputation in Houston. You will retire sooner or later, and this part of the industry will also dissipate with your retirement. If you If you are willing, I can lead you to develop some industries in New York and build your own brand, even if you don't believe me, you can trust Rainbow Group."

In the end, Dayao still couldn't resist Xu Xiao's output in turn.

In the end, Dayao signed a five-year 5 million mid-level contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves, which made Mo Gou very angry.

The Direct Appeal Alliance demanded a thorough investigation, not to say that Dayao and Xu Xiao had a secret operation, but after investigation, the contract signed by the two parties was legal and valid.

In the end, the league found a reason to cancel the rules and deducted a second-round pick from the Timberwolves.

Do you want that thing? If the Timberwolves want this second-round pick, they can change it casually.
