0695 Don't think it's stable
The meeting for most of the day was held soon, and apart from the reduction of the salary cap, no results worthy of attention were achieved.
Su Yang had a meal with Jordan, then flew back to Sa City, and held a press conference for Ross the next morning.
Speaking of why Rose was recruited, Su Yang said bluntly: "We need his breakthrough and organizational skills. He will be a powerful supplement to our second team. We will give him full freedom. Everyone will see him re-selling the All-Star performance..."
Ross said about why he joined the Kings and replied: "I feel the greatest sincerity from Coach Su Yang. Cousins and Curry recruited together, which also made me feel that the Kings team is different. As Coach Su Yang said, I will use my own experience to help the team. I am very grateful to the Kings for providing me with this opportunity. I will prove that this is the right choice."
After the press conference was completed, Sam Sinki found Su Yang and reported on the recruitment situation of the remaining two positions. "There is no new situation on Payton II for the time being. Our scouts provided a brand new substitute shooting guard yesterday. You can check the report first."
Su Yang took the report casually and found that the potential target candidate was Javent Green, who lost the draft in 2015. He considered inviting him to represent the Kings in the Summer League, but unfortunately he was rejected. He played in Europe last season and has no contract yet.
The scout report pointed out that Javente Green's defense is relatively strong, his basketball IQ is relatively high, which is more in line with the Kings' tactical system.
The key is that you have a strong figure and a height of 196 cm. Being able to hold on at critical moments is indeed an excellent choice.
What's more, the king can only pay the basic salary.
"Just sign him and put it on the Thunderhorn Sheep to practice first."
Su Yang nodded, "Speaking of this, I plan to replace the head coach of the Development League. It is time for David West to lead the team as the head coach to increase his experience. You can find an assistant coach according to the situation, which is more offensive, so that it can be convenient for partnering with Mike Brown."
Hinki recorded it casually, and Su Yang briefly recounted the preliminary results obtained by the previous alliance board meeting, and then said: "We directly gave up discussing with Lavine to renew the contract in advance, and keep Cousins with all our might. He doesn't need to take the initiative to cut his salary..."
The salary cap was lowered, and the king almost lost hope and left the latitude. The latitude was just vague, so just pretend nothing happened.
If Cousins contract is successfully signed, the Kings' next salary space structure will be the Big Three Covington, two powerful rookies, Tatum and Brogdon, as well as several basic-paying players. Fortunately, they have no hidden dangers of injury and are still pretty benign.
Arranged all kinds of good jobs, Su Yang flew to Las Vegas again to watch the Summer League Finals between the Kings and the Lakers.
George and Magic Johnson also came to attend. Su Yang sat with the two and chatted about the free market casually. He heard that the Magician wanted to exchange Ingramrol Deng for another giant, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.
Mainly in this free market, the Cavaliers ate two giants in one go, and the other teams didn't even get a sip of soup.
While talking, Magic Johnson laughed and said, "Given the salary cap situation next season, we are going to compete for Jeremy Grant and Zach Lavin in the free market. Anyway, you can't stay, so you probably won't mind."
"Of course, free competition..."
Su Yang said that, but he thought in his heart that the Lakers still overestimated the level of rubbish on Luo Er Deng’s contract, and are too optimistic now.
But if the Thunder's record in the middle of the season is worse and Westbrook applies for a trade, it is really possible that the Lakers will succeed unexpectedly.
The finals were held simultaneously. Tatum and Brogden on the Kings side and Kuzmahart Ingram on the Lakers side were a little anxious. They played until the last thirty seconds before Tatum beat Kuzma alone, and the victory was established by the CNY.
The Kings finally won the Summer League championship again. Tatum was elected FMVP and entered the Summer League's All-A-First Team. He averaged 21 points and 6 rebounds per game, which was even higher than the 76ers No. 1 pick Fultz and Celtics' Tetras Josh Jackson.
After the game, he was interviewed and talked about how to evaluate Tatum's performance. Su Yang said: "Everyone is talking about how outstanding his offense is, but I want to praise his defense. The scout report was written incorrectly. He has a very high defensive enthusiasm. I believe that when he enters the regular season, he will be able to show such a positive attitude and become an important guarantee for our forward rotation..."
That night, Su Yang led the team to MGM Casino to have fun, and the next day he led the team back to Sa City.
Javent Green's signing was very smooth. He was originally in Los Angeles. He received a call from Hinki and flew directly to Sa City to get the contract. The Kings lineup was established. Su Yang gave each player simultaneously to subdivided various off-season training.
"boogie, I'm more worried about your weight problem. Our three consecutive championships have already consumed too much. You must find a way to lose weight and reduce the burden on your knees. At the same time, you must also pay attention not to play those defender breakthrough moves when playing jungle balls, which can easily hurt you. Try to practice low-post scoring skills. In this era of small balls, you will be a weapon for us to defeat other teams..."
"Giannis, I fully believe in your self-discipline, but I still want to remind you that you no longer need to become stronger and you can spend the extra time practicing ball control and shooting stability to strive for a better impact next season."
"Stephen, my biggest requirement for you is to stay healthy. Although golf is fun, be careful not to be greedy!"
"Jason Tatum, I specially made an appointment with Kobe to train alone for you. I hope you can learn how to read the game with him seriously, don't think about learning his technical movements quickly, and don't learn to play him 17 of 47 shots, you can learn defense..."
Written one by one, the most common word is "health". Not to mention teams that win consecutive championships, even ordinary teams will encounter situations where someone is injured and misses many games. However, no one in the Kings has suffered major injuries, which is a miracle.
On July 20th, with Taylor Ennis and other last-rate players reaching an agreement, the league structure is basically determined.
On the West side, the Kings sent George and Thomas Jr. and welcomed Tatum and Ross, which weakened a certain degree of strength, especially on the defensive end, but they are still champions, mainly supported by the rapid growth of Lavender and Brogdon.
The Warriors won Nick Young and Casby in the free market as a supplementary swingman choice and renewed their contracts with Livingston, Pachuliga, and Iguodala. With the most important Durant, he is stronger than Curry's rapid growth.
The Spurs won Rudy Guy and signed Mills with a salary lower than the market price. The key was that they did not sign Gasol with a big contract, and they also won the old player George Hill in a short contract for a year. This was a significant reinforcement and a favorable competitor to the championship.
The Rockets won Gerald Green and Luke Barmot in the free market and renewed Nene's contract. Although the move was not big, they were also the weakest substitute to strengthen. In addition, Paul and Harden continued to work together, they would also be one of the contenders for the championship.
The Jazz, Trail Blazers, Thunder and Pelicans did not make any big moves. The Clippers, Grizzlies and Mavericks officially entered the reconstruction. The Suns and Timberwolves were a mess waiting for a miracle to happen. Although the remaining Lakers got George, the situation in the future is hard to say, so we have to look at it again.
In the east, the Cavaliers formed the four giants and became the biggest winners, and the Celtics gradually became the three giants and became a strong team.
As for other Eastern teams, it is difficult to form strong competition, and it can almost be concluded that they are the Running Cavaliers and the Celtics.
Espn posted a comment on the transactions of each team, and finally commented: The situation of the battle between the kings is coming, don’t think it’s stable!
Chapter completed!
