Bishop of the Devil

Chapter 556

At ten o'clock on the morning of the 21st, Richard and Jordan got the list of the draft for this expansion.

There are 29 teams on the list. Each team has several players who are not protected by the protection list. Richard and his team can choose these players as their new pirate players.

The whole NBA history, including the pirate's draft expansion, a total of 11 draft expansion.

With the development of history, the rules of every draft expansion are changing.

This year's draft rules have changed a lot. In terms of the number of people selected by the pirate team, at least 14, at most 29!

The reason for the maximum number of 29 is very simple. At present, there are only 29 teams in the League except for the new pirates. Each team can only choose one unprotected player, so the natural limit is 29.

Each team can draw up a protection list to protect up to eight players. Of course, for example, if a team is a top iron team and one player is not protected, that's not impossible.

Anyway, the upper limit is eight, and the lower limit is none.

Completely free agent is not qualified to be selected, such as Clarke. Even if the pistons don't protect him, the pirates can't select him.

That may be why the pistons didn't extend Clark's contract earlier.

If Clarke renews his contract ahead of time, he will not be a free agent at the moment, and Detroit will have to waste a place to protect him.

There are so many powerful new players in the piston team that any protection quota is extremely precious for them.

……

What kind of players will be put on the protection list? In fact, this does not mean that players with strong strength will be protected.

Some players are quite good, but the contract price is high, and the cost performance is not high. In this case, the team will deliberately not protect, and strive to let the new army choose to leave, and get rid of the contract with low cost performance.

If there are not enough eight places in a team's protection list, there is also a solution.

They can use draft rights, cash or other transfer conditions in exchange for Bobcats to select a player or not to select a player.

Piston, for example, has a large number of cost-effective players in their team, so it is possible to give draft rights or cash compensation to the new recruits in order not to select a player.

For example, the kings, they can offer chips to let the pistons choose Rahim who is not cost-effective and get rid of Rahim's contract

Anyway, there are quite a lot of gateways in this expansion draft. A smart boss, if he operates properly, may get great benefits from this expansion draft.

"Li, these lists can't be divulged. Once caught, it's a million dollars fine!" Jordan said with a frown.

Richard nodded, there is such a rule in the draft expansion.

The team's protection list can't be divulged. Violators will be fined one million dollars.

This is also the purpose of the League to protect players' emotions. If the players see that they are not in the protection list, they will be quite dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, Michael, my mouth is much tighter than yours." Richard looked at the list and said with a smile.

That's a million dollar fine. I'll leak this list unless I'm full.

With the list in hand, Richard and Jordan studied it carefully.

"This is the Boston Celtics list. They only protect seven players." Jordan counted Green's protection list and said to Richard.

Richard nodded. There are not many players worthy of being put on the protection list, such as Pierce, Billups, Perkins, etc.

Although green Kai has a plan to exchange blood against the lineup, the players who can be protected are very valuable. Even if they don't need green Kai, they can also exchange it for high-value chips.

"Chuck Atkins? Stuart? Lafluntz? "

"Celtic's unprotected players are of good quality. Unfortunately, our children can choose a player."

Jordan has spoken about the names of three players. In his opinion, the three players seem to have good strength. After all, they are awesome players.

"Don't worry, Michael. We don't have to make a decision too early. Let's take a look at it later." Richard waved to Jordan to calm down.

The three players on lvkai's side are worth a lot in Jordan's eyes, but in Richard's eyes, they are just cannon fodder. Even if they are taken, they will definitely play the role of the protector of the water dispenser

Next is the list of nets. Kenyon Martin, Kidd and Jefferson are definitely on the protection list.

In the exposure list, Richard saw the name of monen, the kidney fighter

For a while, Richard hesitated a little bit. Do you want to choose Monin?!I have the means to get Monin back to the top. If I take it down, it seems that I can't.

The key now is that monen's contract is quite cheap. His top salary contract ended in 2003. Last season, he signed a contract with the nets with an annual salary of about five million

It's not a big deal to eat such a contract.

To Richard's surprise, Jordan laughed.

"The management of the basketball net is really a good idea, but they exposed monen. They don't think we will win monen, do they? This is what fools do! "

"Michael, be quiet. I'm thinking..." Richard's egg hurt quite a lot. Jordan rambled on and confused his thoughts.

……

Richard drew a piece of paper from his side and wrote down the nets - mourning solemnly.

Jordan opened his eyes wide and looked at Richard in disbelief.

It never occurred to him that Richard really looked at Monin!

Is he a fool?

Monen's annual salary of 5 million yuan is not much, but it's better to sign some new people with this money. It has been proved that monen is almost abandoned.

Although shocked, Jordan remained rational and didn't say much.

It's just at the beginning. Maybe Richard didn't ask for Monin in the end.

Next came New York Knicks.

The Knicks team, quite wonderful, directly put two of their team's highest paid players on the exposed list.

Alan Houston and Penny Hardaway

That's one of the strategies in the draft expansion, trying to scare off the new recruits with high salaries.

Richard smiled and threw away the list of Knicks. He was too lazy to look at it.

"Lee, Houston is good. If we win, we will be able to enrich the external firepower..."

Richard waved and didn't want to explain to Jordan. He continued to look at the list of 76ers.

There are not so many routines in the 76ers' list, all of which are marginal players exposed. Richard also saw the name of Aaron McGee

At the beginning of Richard's entry into the NBA, he sold Aaron Mackey, who looked promising, for a good price.

Now that eight years have passed, Aaron McGee has not made any decent figures. I'm afraid he will retire in the past two years.

Next, Alvin Williams of the Raptors was recorded by Richard.

It's just a dwarf. Alvin is a thin little point guard with average strength, but the price performance is good.

If the players with high cost performance are really good, they will not be exposed.

After the Raptors, it's Jordan's old bull.

Jordan's eyes lit up immediately because he saw the name of Pippen.

After Pippen left the rocket, he returned to the bull, which was considered as a pension.

In addition to Pippen, the bull's exposed list, there is also Antonio Davis, the eastern All-Star starting center in 2001.

The reason why the bull exposed it is naturally because of its low cost performance.

"It's a pity that Davis is also good. We use it as the core of the interior first, but I prefer to take Pippen." Jordan said with a smile.

"Or maybe you should make a list. Let's compare and see which players we choose in the end." Richard didn't want to listen to Jordan's nagging and let him sort out a list.

……

What Jordan didn't expect was that neither Pippen nor Davis seemed interested and didn't record their names.

The bulls are followed by the Knights and walkers, with Jason Capono on the Knights' exposed list, a well-known three point shooter.

Richard did not hesitate to put it on his list.

Then the pacer's James Jones was also included in the list, which was the Suns' backup small forward in the peak period, and the strength was fairly good.

Not surprisingly, magic put Grant Hill on the exposure list.

This makes Richard hesitant. If hill recovers, he will be very strong.

But the salary was too high for Richard to make up his mind.

Simply put Hill's name on the list first and wait until it's over.

Starkhouse on the Wizards' side was exposed.

After last season's game between the pistons and the Blazers, Stackhouse was sold to the Wizards

Now the Wizards don't treat him very much. They don't protect him at all.

Although Stackhouse's price performance is good, Richard didn't plan to.

In the back teams, Richard didn't see any bright players.Until the Los Angeles Clippers, the Clippers' exposure list was quite rich, including Bobby Simmons and Matt Barnes.

Bobby Simmons is a new player who entered the league in 2001. He has played for three seasons now, but Richard remembers that Simmons will have a very obvious outbreak next season.

The average field can get 16 + 6 data

It was because of this data that he won a big contract, which ended up being Chandler Parsons.

As for Matt Barnes, Richard must not be familiar with

Thinking about it, Richard chose Simmons.

In fact, whether Barnes or Simmons is chosen, their final destination is definitely to be traded. Simmons will break out next season, which is a high-quality bargaining chip for trading.

If it is not necessary to choose at least 14 players for this draft expansion, Richard may only choose five or six players with relatively high transaction value in the end.
