There are only two hours left before the Grizzlies' game against the Mavericks begins.

Jiang Dongbing changed Mobley's binding to Jackson, and planned to take advantage of this opportunity to let Jackson brush up on his training progress.

Mobley's current attributes in all aspects are too low, and there is no need to use the main game to improve his progress.

Although Jiang Dongbing has recruited many young players with outstanding talents, Jackson is still his favorite and most valued player in the Grizzlies. Of course, he wants Jackson to improve his strength as much as possible.

…

During the warm-up session of the game, Jiang Dongbing took the initiative to walk to the opponent's sideline and prepared to chat with Nelson for a while.

"Jiang, it's unbelievable. Your vision for this year's draft is really good." Nelson praised Jiang Dongbing with a smile.

He said that Jiang Dongbing's good draft vision is undoubtedly because of Brad Miller. As for Jackson, who is second in the pick, everyone knows that Jackson is very strong. If it were another team, without David, they would definitely choose Jackson.

Naturally, there is no question of good or bad vision.

Jiang Dongbing waved his hand and said: "Thank you, Mr. Nelson, your draft this year is also good."

"Oh? How do you say this? You must know that our rookie has not shown any decent strength yet." Old Nelson said with a weird smile.

The Mavericks have a lot of rookies joining the team this year, and the one that attracts the most attention is of course the German rookie Nowitzki. However, an old-school coach like Nelson prefers to let the rookies settle for a period of time to polish their temperament.

Say it again.

So Nowitzki didn't play for too long in his debut, only 16 minutes, and his performance was hard to describe.

He made all 5 shots and only scored two points from free throws. In the end, he only got 2 points, 4 assists and 1 foul.

Such first-show statistics were obviously not that outstanding. Nelson even thought that Jiang Dongbing was compromising his poor vision.

"We've only played one game now." Jiang Dongbing replied with a smile.

Old Nelson patted his forehead and said, "By the way, I happen to have something to talk to you Grizzlies about. Before discussing it with Stewart, I want to hear your opinion."

"The Grizzlies currently have ample salary space. I wonder if you can swallow AC Green's contract for us?"

Jiang Dongbing's face tightened, "Good guy, swallow AC Green's contract? That's not a small number."

The current NBA salary cap for this season is US$30 million, and more than two-thirds of the Mavericks' salary space is occupied by four players.

If these four players are very strong, it is not a big deal and is in line with the normal salary distribution of a team.

But the Mavericks owner, Ross Pilot, is a basketball layman with a lot of stupid money. The salaries given to several players on the team are extremely unreasonable.

Currently, Bradley has the highest salary in the Mavericks. His salary is as high as 6.75 million US dollars, which is simply eye-popping.

We must know that Postman Malone's salary this year is only 6.15 million US dollars, and Pacers boss Reggie Miller's salary is only more than 6 million US dollars.

It is true that Bradley's defense is quite shocking, but after taking away the defense, it is not an exaggeration to say that Bradley is useless. Last season's data of about 11 points and 8 rebounds is not worth the price no matter how you look at it.

The second highest salary player is Michael Finley, with a total of 6 million US dollars. There is not much fault with this salary. After all, Finley averages 20+5+4 per game.

Next in third place is AC Green. His salary is as high as 5.13 million U.S. dollars. Considering that he averages 7 points and 8 rebounds per game, this contract is inappropriate.

No matter how self-disciplined Green is, no matter how good his boy skills are, they are not worth the annual salary of more than five million US dollars.

AC Green is quite famous for his childlike skills. Rumor has it that he did not lose his virginity until he was 39 years old...

Robert Parker, who ranks fourth in salary, has a salary of nearly 4 million and can only average about 8 points and 3.5 assists per game. By the way, he is a point guard...

These four people account for 22 million of the nearly 30 million salary cap. It is no wonder that coaches like Nelson have to wait for several years to pull the Mavericks out of the quagmire.

Jiang Dongbing heard what Nelson said. Obviously, Nelson was aware of the Mavericks' current salary structure problem and was ready to deal with it.

If it is not dealt with, there is no possibility that the Mavericks will take off in at least the next two seasons.

If you don't have salary space, you won't be able to sign strong free agents, and if you expect to win the championship through the new players you cultivate, you still don't know how long it will take.

"Mr. Nelson, you must be very aware of the situation of our Grizzlies. We are losing money every year. Unless there are obvious benefits, I don't think Stewart is willing to swallow AC Green's contract." Jiang Dongbing didn't hide it either.

Tell the truth directly.

"Of course there are benefits. If there were no benefits, I wouldn't mention it."

"Draft picks, cash, players, what do you want? As long as the price is right, we can agree to it," Nelson said.

Jiang Dongbing looked happy and said, "Players too?"

"Okay, of course, who do you like?"

"Can Dirk Nowitzki make a move? If you are willing to use Dirk as a price, I am willing to help you talk to Stewart." Jiang Dongbing tried his best to restrain his excitement and make his tone calmer.

If Nowitzki can really be captured, let alone Green's contract, even Parker's four million dollar contract will be swallowed up without any problems.

This is not to say how strong Nowitzki is now. The main reason is that the old driver has a good reputation. After so many years since his debut, there has never been any bullshit news.

And Nowitzki's historical status is much higher than the outstanding players Jiang Dongbing has.

Currently, the most accomplished player in Jiang Dongbing's hands is Billups, but it's unclear whether even Billups can be ranked among the top ten point guards in history.

We can even simply say that Billups cannot be in the top ten, because Billups's name does not exist in any list of the top ten point guards in history.

Nowitzki is definitely one of the top five forwards in history, and the two are obviously not the same concept.

"No, why don't you change it?" Nielsen simply refused.

The corner of Jiang Dongbing's mouth twitched. He had spoken so decisively just now, but now he immediately changed his mind.

But if you think about it, Nelson wouldn't be able to do such a stupid thing. Nowitzki is the high-ranking rookie they just selected. He can be said to be their core player in the future. There is no way he can just give it away.

"Where's Steve Nash?" Jiang Dongbing asked again.

Old Nelson quickly shook his head again, "Young man, I found that you have really good vision. You opened your mouth and asked for the two cornerstone players of our team."

"Of course it's even less likely Steve."
