Chapter 743 (1/2)
Chris Wallace and Robert Pera have had a very leisurely season, because the Grizzlies have done so well.
The worse the team is, the more busy the general manager and the team owner are. Because they have to think about how to make the team strong, they have to think about the summer draft, transfer, signing. Even, changes in management itself have to be considered.
The worse the team is, the more messy it will be. For example, this season's Lakers and Knicks, these two old teams are basically addicted to the ”palace fight” of the management, and have no mind to change the team.
So, this year, both the Lakers and the Knicks have overturned. One has only experienced two consecutive titles and has been reduced to the Western fish belly in a few years, while the other has changed from the second in the East last season to the eighth in a row.
Grizzlies obviously do not have such trouble, because the team's performance is good, so everything is calm. They just need to stabilize the current lineup of the Grizzlies to ensure that the Grizzlies are still the best team in the league.
As a result, PELA, the boss, was bored a while ago and had to bet with Jordan to pass the time. Just did not expect, with the determination to lose to go to the appointment, but because of link and won a pot full bowl.
This summer, the Grizzlies only important task is to renew link. For now, it's only a matter of time before the contract is renewed. Link doesn't want to leave Memphis, and PELA is willing to offer link the highest price.
At this point, the Grizzlies are much easier than the heat. Because the heat don't even know if they can keep LeBron this summer.
As a result, the Grizzlies' management may be one of the most laid back management of the 30 teams this season.
However, no matter how free you are, there is not nothing to do. The NCAA competition is coming to an end in April. Each team, also began to look for this year's draft conference goal.
Grizzlies, as always, are unlikely to get the top pick this year, which is a happy worry, but it does not mean that the draft can be given up directly, especially when the Grizzlies have found several interesting targets.
”What have you got?” Robert Pera saw Chris Wallace coming in and asked directly.
The Grizzlies general manager is here today to report on several potential draft targets.
”There are many, as link said, there are really a lot of interesting players outside the NCAA.” Wallace raised his report and sat across from Pella.
”I've looked at a lot of international players and found that we have a lot of good players available in recent years. What's more, most of them won't be selected by other teams
After listening, PELA nodded and signaled Wallace to start the report. The Memphis Grizzlies are the least likely teams in the League to underestimate low ranking international players.
After all, mark Gasol, the best defensive player of last season, was selected in the second round. Facts have proved that low ranking international players have strong plasticity after entering the NBA. And don't forget, the grizzly's current mainstay, link, was a drop in the draft.
Therefore, for the Grizzlies, even the low ranking draft right is very worthy of careful consideration.
Wallace opened the information and began to report to Pella.
”Nemaria berica, who currently plays for the Turkish club fenerbacheurko, is one of the most versatile players in Europe. He is expected to win the MVP of the European League this season, but he has the technical characteristics of a small forward at 2.08 meters. He's an all-around player with a high basketball IQ and a steady pitcher, you can do pick and roll cuts around him. His understanding of the game, both offensive and defensive, helps a lot. He can grab most of the rebounds and then efficiently turn it into a teammate's score. If more training, God knows if he will become the European version of Kevin Durant. At present, beliza's signing right is in the hands of Timberwolves, but it will not be too difficult to seek a deal
”The other guy, Mario hezzonia, who currently plays for Barcelona, is athletic and fearless. His pride is comparable to that of American players. Of course, on the surface, he didn't score too many points in the European League, but his ability to control the ball and shoot was seen by everyone. Do you know what people call him? Croatian Kobe! But he won't be in the draft until next year
As Chris Wallace spoke, Robert Pera listened. Normally speaking, the team owner doesn't have to worry about these things. The general manager can complete these tasks alone. But PELA, as a young boss, is very willing to personally participate in the team building.
