The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

According to the current performance of Oladipo and Middleton, if you trade in the offseason, you should be able to switch to some of the more ranked picks, or package for a quasi-all-star star.

But that's just the normal situation.

It's impossible for the Bucks to trade for draft picks. It's been several times. How could the team be so stupid as to trade the top picks to Wang Xiao?

If Wang Xiaoken uses the letter brother or Thompson as the chip, it may still be attractive, but Oladipo and Middleton are not enough to be exciting.

Under this premise, Wang Xiao instead feels that trading Durant to the team in advance, although it may seem that two good players have been lost, can allow the team to have the capital to win the championship one season in advance, which is not considered loss.

After the offer was made, the Blazers quickly gave an agreed reply.

This is also in Wang Xiao's expectations, Oladipoga Middleton, this is already a very good offer, he believes that other teams are difficult to give the same conditions.

This transaction has some minor problems in terms of salary. Durant's annual salary is currently up to 20 million, while Oladipo and Middleton are still in the rookie contract period. The two are just in the early ten million.

But this is not a big problem, because the Bucks' salary space is very healthy. The team has no big contract except Thompson, and the larger garbage contracts last year have already been dealt with.

In the place of horror, let alone eat Durant's contract, even if the subsequent renewal of the letter brother, the renewal of Embi Djokic will not have too much pressure!

...

On January 30, 2016, the Bucks and Trail Blazers both started to move.

The Blazers first renewed the contract with Durant in advance, and the two parties reached a five-year 160 million contract. This news caused a sensation as soon as it was announced.

This is not because Durant renewed his contract with the Trail Blazers. After all, people who know how to do it know that this is just a routine to sign and then change.

It is shocking that the contract value of 160 million in 5 years is a super contract with an average annual salary of 32 million, which is also the largest contract in the history of NBA!

Prior to this, the only two players with an annual salary of more than 30 million in the nba season were Jordan's 30.14 million in the 96-97 season and 33.14 million in the 97-98 season, and 30.45 million in Bryant's 2013-14 season.

Durant will become the third player with an annual salary of more than 30 million, and the average annual salary!

Durant's strength is certainly worthy of this contract, but even so, the largest contract in league history still makes people talk about it.

Of course, in Wang Xiao's view, this contract is no big deal.

This year, NBA and the TV station reached a new broadcast agreement, 9 billion 24 billion! This has also allowed the league's salary space to skyrocket in the next few years. Without Durant, the Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley will be the first to break the record in five years of 153 million this summer, which is a real exaggeration.

Although Conley is a good player, but that's all.

A player who has never been selected as an All-Star in his career can actually get 153 million in 5 years, with an average annual salary of 30 million, which is almost crazy.

This is just the beginning.

auzw.com In another time and space, by 2020, a total of 5 people have received a contract with a total salary of more than 200 million, which is 17 years of Curry’s 5 years of 201 million and 17 years of Harden’s. 228 million in 6 years, 207 million in 6 years in Wall, 205 million in 5 years in Westbrook in 17 years, and 256 million in 6 years in 19 years in Lillard.

The subsequent salary cap exploded year by year, and the player's contract was also exaggerated one by one. In contrast, Durant's five-year 160 million contract is actually nothing. Renewing the contract one year earlier has actually eaten it. A little loss.

...

Only one day after the Trail Blazers and Durant renewed their contract, the Bucks also reached renewal agreements with Oladipo and Middleton, respectively, and renewed them for 4 years worth 84 million and 4 years $70 million respectively.

The Bucks and Trail Blazers did not immediately trade after reaching a contract extension.

Because the All-Star weekend has arrived.

On February 13, 2016, the NBA All-Star Weekend officially began in Toronto, Canada.

The Bucks participated in the All-Star Game with two players, the letter brothers Adetokounmpo and Thompson, both of whom played as substitutes.

Before Wang Xiaodi helped Oladipo and Jokic to brush the data, I hope that they can also be selected for the All-Star game, but they have not succeeded. There are really many stars in the east. Both of them have achieved fame and performance. Less than the standard of All-Star replacement.

The five starting All-Stars in the Eastern Conference are the Wizards' Curry, the Heat's Wade, the Wizards' George, the Wizards' Leonard and the Cavaliers' James.

The bench lineup is Jeremy Lin, Adto Kunbo, Thompson, Cheng Jie, Wall, Howard, Irving.

The Western Conference All-Star starters are the Thunder Westbrook, the Lakers Kobe, the Kings Harden, the Blazers Durant and the Pelicans Davis.

The bench lineup is Butler, Cousins, Paul, Griffin, Aldridge, Bosh.

...

Before the start of the main game, NBA will still hold the rookie challenge, shooting star, skill challenge, three-point contest and dunk contest.

In the rookie challenge, Cheng Jie, the world team led by Wang Meng, pressed the American team with a burst of hammer and scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Cheng Jie was elected mvp.

In the three-point contest, the two who entered the final happened to be Curry and Thompson. The two staged a three-point game in the final. Thompson played better and finally scored 27 points. Curry won the three-point contest. Championship trophy.

In the slam dunk contest, the Pistons forward Wang Meng signed up for the game and became the first Chinese player to participate in the slam dunk contest.

However, in the game, Wang Meng was the first to be eliminated.

This is also impossible. Wang Meng's dunking action is not simple, and the degree of completion is also very high, but it is still the first of the four players to be eliminated, which is unclear to a certain extent.

To put it simply, Jeremy Lin gave up the international return of Chinese nationality to prepare for the Olympic Games, so that Chinese players are not particularly popular in NBA. Jeremy Lin and Cheng Jie were selected for the All-Star game because of their excellent performance and their own goals. Credit for the team's back effort.

It was not just Wang Meng who was unfairly treated. In the subsequent All-Star game, Jeremy Lin and Cheng Jie only got 5 minutes and 3 minutes of playing time respectively. The former had only 2 points and 2 assists, and the latter had 0 points and 1 rebound.

Wang Xiao understands why this is, obviously, the United States is feeling the pressure.

When Jeremy Lin, Cheng Jie, Wang Meng, Hao Peng and others gathered at the China Men's Basketball Team, the American men's basketball team who had been in the world basketball circle finally found that their unbreakable transcendental status was about to usher in a violent impact!
