Chapter 884 The Great Change
In the 2010 draft, the long-lost Washington Wizards got the No. [-] pick as they wished. They are the big winners this year, and they can choose whichever talent they want.

In addition, there are teams that are rebuilding, such as the Kings, Nets, and Warriors, or have just begun to rebuild, all of which have drawn high-ranking picks.

The rookies of the 2010 class are known as the pure gold generation, with talented guards, potential centers and beast forwards, and many rookies who have the potential to become high-quality players.

Among them, the most popular is John Wall, the Steve Nash who claims to be able to break through the dunking center in a positional battle, and stage a windmill dunk in the fast break.

However, these things have little to do with the Timberwolves. Zhao Li is the player with the highest pick they have drafted in the past eight years.

Ranked among the top teams all year round, the Timberwolves have no high-ranking draft picks, an aging lineup, lack of fresh blood and absolute talent, and can only live a stable life around veterans.

This year the Timberwolves have only one first-round pick with the [-]th overall pick, and they used this pick to win Jordan Crawford.

On the day of the draft, Wayne Simien was put on the shelves again, plus the first and second round picks in 2011 were sent to the Pacers in exchange for the rookie Lance S. Stevenson and Marcio Baston.

Bai Jidong couldn't understand this deal. He took an experienced main rotation player and next year's draft pick in exchange for a second-round pick and a typical "except for his family and friends, no one knew he was playing in the NBA, and he played in the NBA." A player who will disappear from the league in a few years."

However, since the transaction has already taken place, Bai Jidong can only accept it.

As an important member of the Timberwolves dynasty, with the arrival of Yi Lian and Diao, Simien has no place in the Timberwolves.

He is playing in his prime, and going to a team that can reuse him is more important than anything else.

Bai Jidong just thought this deal was too stupid, why did he take two draft picks?
Simien's departure indicates that the Timberwolves dynasty is going away.

The founders of the dynasty left one by one, and Bai Jidong became more and more lonely.

On the day Ximien left, Bai Jidong, Spanoulis, and Vashabek went to see him off.

The scene was not so emotional, just chatting casually, talking about the courage of the year, and then said a few harsh words about "what will happen to you when we meet again".

Other than that, the Timberwolves didn't do much.

With the end of the draft, another big drama opened.

James denied that he will visit the teams after the free market opens, which does not hinder the plans of the teams.

According to media reports, James intends to invite six teams to meet with him three days before the start of the free market, and the Nets will be the first to introduce the team.

Other teams include the Knicks, Bulls, Clippers, Heat and James' owner Cavaliers are also listed.

In addition, there is news that the Mavericks plan to meet and discuss with James after the free market opens.

At the same time, another piece of news also attracted many viewers.

Raptors general manager Colangelo admitted in an interview that Chris Bosh, a free agent in the team, may leave the Raptors.

In the interview, Colangelo said that the Raptors hope to keep Bosh, but now it seems less and less impossible.Colangelo claimed that if Bosh were to leave the team, he would try to find a sign-and-trade to help the team.

Colangelo also confirmed one thing that was bound to happen: Bosh would opt out of his contract and make himself a free agent.

News was flying around like scraps of paper.

A day later, ESPN got a source saying that Wade, Bosh and James met in Miami last weekend and sat down to seriously discuss their futures. Their focus is on the growing possibility of the Big Three gathering the Heat.

At the same time, the source emphasized that although LeBron is very interested in the script of the team's Big Three, he has not yet made up his mind to leave the Cavaliers.

On July 7, Bosh announced that he would join the Heat, shocking the basketball world.

But the matter is not over yet.

Multiple sources revealed to the media that LeBron James has decided to support the Heat with Wade and Bosh, and a new generation of Big Three is about to be established.

July 2010, 7 was a very special day for basketball.

Under the eyes of the crowd, James announced his decision through a special live program hosted by ESPN at [-]:[-] local time: to sign with the Miami Heat and form the Big Three with Bosh and Wade.

For the league, this is undoubtedly a magnitude ten earthquake.

The pattern has undergone fundamental changes, just like the Celtics formed the Big Four in the summer of 2007.

"Has the king gone to the Heat?" Hearing this news, Bai Jidong froze for a moment.

Giddens nodded excitedly, "I always thought LeBron was an upright man, but I was wrong about him, he is a coward!"

Bai Jidong smiled and didn't comment. That's why James seemed to have something on his mind last season. He had such a big thing in his heart, so of course he couldn't concentrate.

"Today is definitely a day that can be recorded in the history of the league. LeBron's life is a life of catching up and surpassing! Today, he has taken another crucial step to catch up with Pippen!"

Earth's No. [-] Camille Bill Simmons is crazy about James.

"We remember the excitement and tears in Pippen's eyes when he won the Gold Cup for the first time. We know that he was only 26 years old at that time. The league called Pippen's successor for many years. Many outstanding players were compared with Pippen. But unfortunately, because of the curse of "Pippen's successor", no one who played like Pippen won the championship."

"However, today, we ushered in new hope! Because young, talented and talented players stepped forward, he is so versatile, he made us see the glory of Pippen! We have reason to believe that as long as we give He has a chance, next year when he is also 26, he can lift the gold cup like Pippen!"

"Six years from now, we're going to put him right next to Pippen! We're going to be able to say, 'Go, boy, you deserve it.' ""

There are endless jokes about black James on the Internet, and Simmons' passage is widely circulated.

Bai already has a series of activities to prepare for the summer, including shooting "The Baller", promoting this year's new sneakers, buying a team, purchasing a new training base for the Dream Academy, and representing the national team to participate in this year's World Championships in Turkey Wait, there are a lot of things.

As Bai Jidong's popularity further increased, there were too many commercial activities to push.

The "goodbye" series of boots has the tendency to become the second "aj", and each generation of sneakers is very popular.

Bai Jidong couldn't push back these activities, so he could only do other things while doing the activities.

With the expansion of Dream Academy, studying in the United States alone can no longer meet the needs of everyone. Some players with average qualifications or players with excellent qualifications who do not want to leave their hometown want to develop in China.

Most of the professional teams in China are linked to the Sports Bureau. Joining a professional team is equivalent to joining the Sports Bureau. Although there are guarantees, players will also be restricted.

Therefore, Bai Jidong asked others to buy a team by name, and then let the team establish a cooperative relationship with the Dream Academy.

"This year the CBA is preparing to expand its army, and we can target these newly promoted teams."

"No, these teams don't have financial difficulties. I don't want to be a shareholder. I want absolute control." Bai Jidong said.

The CBA League is still a relatively closed league, nominally a professional league, but in fact there are constraints from the Chinese Basketball Association everywhere.

It is by no means an easy task to reach into their sphere of influence.

"It's true that a few clubs are facing financial difficulties, but they have a close relationship with the local sports board and it is difficult for us to intervene."

"I don't care what you do, I just want one result."

Bai Jidong didn't want to continue to entangle in this matter, so he ordered someone to do it.

Dream Academy is already a major symbol of Chinese basketball. Every year, many players join professional leagues in various Asian countries, and some go to Europe and the United States to develop. Some outstanding players stay in China to join major CBA teams.

Many CBA teams want to establish a cooperative relationship with the Dream Academy, but the Dream Academy is like an iron plate that can only exit but not enter, rejecting all comers.

Rodman has been in China for ten years, and he can barely hear the accent when he speaks Mandarin, and he can speak Hokkien and Cantonese well.

Two players guided by Rodman, Butu and Wang Yang, are currently studying in the United States. Butu was invited by Georgetown University for a full scholarship this year. After becoming Zhao Li, he is the second to receive a full scholarship from the NCAA Division I. Scholarship Chinese.

"I heard that you just received your green card not long ago. When will you become a Chinese citizen?" Bai Jidong invited Rodman to his home for dinner.

Rodman laughed and said: "Having a green card is enough, I am not interested in naturalization."

"Actually, you can go back to America often." Bai Jidong always thinks of Rodman, and he has special feelings for those who led the way back then.

Rodman said with emotion: "People, the older you get, the less you like to move around."

"Don't fucking fart. I heard that you are a big hit in the local nightclub. Which club doesn't have you on the membership list?"

"Low key, that's all I have fun in China."
