The Strongest Bishop in the NBA - Chapter 464
After accepting the interview, Wang Xiao formally applied to the Basketball Association for resignation, and the leaders of the Basketball Association decisively let go of the team after staying for a while.
In fact, not many people in the Basketball Association hope that Wang Xiao will continue to coach. Although he led the team to achieve unprecedented results, Wang Xiao’s power is too great. Almost the entire national team is his voice, and the players will stay. It’s all about his one sentence.
No leader would be happy to see a coach like this stay in the national team.
Strictly speaking, these are no longer problems in the basketball category. Wang Xiao is incapable and too lazy to deal with it. This kind of problem is left to Da Yao, who will be chairman of the Basketball Association in the future, a headache.
After all this, Wang Xiao was finally able to go home and rest for a while, but his rest time was only about two weeks.
As soon as the two weeks came, he boarded the flight to Milwaukee without stopping.
The NBA new season preseason begins in early October. As the team’s head coach, it is inevitable to return to the team two weeks in advance to arrange various work items for the new season. In fact, it is a bit late two weeks in advance.
This year’s Bucks actually didn’t have much to worry about.
The team’s current lineup is well-organized and strong. As long as the ball is allocated properly in the new season, the players are not troubled by injuries and the defending is basically no problem.
Durant took the initiative to vote last season and completely disrupted Wang Xiao’s team building ideas, and directly brought the league to the finale, which he never expected.
Of course, having said that, some work still needs to be done.
First of all, the Bucks must keep Durant, whose contract expired. Last season, the team led the team to win the championship under Durant’s leadership and was elected as the finals MVP. If you want to renew the top star, you must have a top prize. Salary contract, the total amount for three years should be at least 85 million, with an average annual salary of 28 million.
This is not a small number, but the Bucks currently only have Klay Thompson with a big contract. Durant’s contract extension is more than enough, unless the opponent is unwilling to stay with the Bucks, but this is impossible.
Durant and the Bucks, who have just won a championship deadline and an FMVP trophy, are in the honeymoon period. As long as the money is in place, they can complete their contract renewal in minutes.
After the NBA’s new TV broadcast contract took effect, the salary cap began to skyrocket. In July of this year, many sky-high contracts were born. The most famous one was the five-year contract signed by the Grizzlies and point guard Mike Conley in early July, worth 153 million. USD maximum salary contract.
This contract broke many records in the league and became the largest contract in NBA history.
However, it didn’t take long before this record was broken and refreshed by other players.
In July 2017, Curry signed a five-year, $201 million contract with the Warriors.
In the same month, Harden reached an early renewal agreement with a certain team. The deadline for the new contract was extended to 2023. The new and old contracts totaled 228 million for 6 years.
In September 2017, Russell Westbrook reached a contract extension agreement with the Thunder, leaving the Thunder with $205 million for five years.
By that time, Conley’s five-year 153 million contract was already considered a relatively inexpensive contract.
For the Bucks, the skyrocketing salary cap has many benefits.
First of all, the soaring salary cap gives the team the capital to keep more outstanding players at the same time, and it will not be forced to let go of too many strong players like the Wizards.
Like Antetokounmpo, whose contract expires next year, the team can stay with the maximum salary without frowning. As for the rookie contract expiration later, Jokic and Embiid will not renew their contract until 18 years. It’s a bit difficult. After all, these players have to have a maximum salary to keep them. If all five people stay, then the salary of these five people alone will be over 100 million.
Wang Xiao will not consider the renewal of Jokic and Embiid. It was in the summer of 2018. Before that, this lineup can play in the NBA for two years, enough to win two more championship trophies and establish a hero. The deer dynasty is now.

In addition to Durant’s contract renewal issue, the Bucks role players also need to add. After the end of the 15-16 season, there are only 7 players remaining on the Bucks team who are still on contract. Rand is only 8 people.
These 8 people are: defender Klay Thompson, Kyle Korver.
Forwards Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Larry Sanders, center Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, Zaza Pachulia.
In the next half month, Wang Xiao must complete the Bucks’ lineup and make up a roster of at least 12 people.
For Wang Xiao, this is not difficult.
It may be difficult to find some suitable starting and outstanding players, but it is not too simple to find some role players who are on the bench and **** time.
Wang Xiao now has several suitable candidates.
The first one he asked the assistant to contact was the former player in the Wizards period, center JaVale McGee.
McGee is the worst center among the Wizards.
At first McGee, like Jordan and Whiteside, received an annual salary of tens of millions. However, although McGee’s talent is not inferior to Jordan and Whiteside, he is very on the court due to attention deficit syndrome. Difficult to concentrate for a long time, and always make some very mentally retarded behaviors that ordinary people can’t understand, which makes McGee not much progress in these years.
To make matters worse, because of injuries, McGee’s bounce and outburst were also affected, which directly led to his layoffs by the team.
McGee is now a completely free agent and is looking for a home everywhere.
Signing McGee doesn’t cost much, a basic salary is enough.
Although the Bucks are not short of insiders, considering the physique of the Embiid Glassman, hoarding more immediate combat power centers will certainly not suffer.
What’s more, Hao Peng has landed in the NBA this season. By then, the Lakers who own Hao Peng and Butler will rise. If they catch another big fish in the free market, they might immediately become a powerful player in the Western Conference.
In case the Bucks really meet the Lakers in the Finals, Jokic’s defensive level can only be regarded as ordinary, and he can deal with ordinary centers. If he meets Hao Peng, he will be 100% blown.
Signing McGee in case of emergencies, even if Hao Peng can’t stop him, he can still help share some firepower a little.
Wang Xiao’s second contact was Fred Van Fleet, the Raptors guard who was later nicknamed Van Jordan.
Van Fleet is a rookie this year. He participated in the draft just like Hao Peng, but he lost the draft.
According to the historical trend, he would represent the Raptors in this summer’s summer league, and then because of the outstanding performance of the summer league, he signed a two-year contract with the Raptors.
It is a pity that there is Wang Xiao in this time and space.
When Wang Xiao led the Chinese men’s basketball team to compete in the Olympics, he had already instructed the Bucks to participate in the summer league assistant coach and recruited Van Fleet to the team.
As a result, the undrafted rookie became a member of the Bucks Summer League and successfully got the Bucks’ contract extension after the summer league.
Since Wang Xiao was still in Rio de Janeiro at the time, the Bucks did not sign a contract with Van Fleet immediately, but waited for Wang Xiao to handle it personally after he returned.
