Chapter 786 Future Directions

Chapter 786 Future Directions

With Paul and James Harden, the Rockets are very strong!

After losing to the Rockets, the Mavericks finally stabilized.

Although Qin Yang didn't produce terrible statistics, the team's condition is getting better and better, especially the team's substitute Mitchell.

Mitchell has attracted the attention of many teams. The Lakers even intended to exchange Clarkson and others, but the Mavericks refused.

Obviously, Mitchell is definitely a superstar embryo.

As long as you train well, it's no problem to become a superstar, no matter how bad it is, it's better than Kemba Walker and the like, so the Mavericks are not willing to trade.

After more than two months in the regular season, Mitchell began to explode.

The Mavericks' record also stabilized.

In the last eight games, Mitchell averaged 16.3 points, 2.1 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game, playing very well.

This data has a tendency to compete for the best sixth man.

The problem with the problem is that Mitchell is not satisfied, especially Mitchell's agent requires the team to give Mitchell a higher tactical status and more possession of the ball.

The Mavs didn't say yes.

Regarding the Mavericks' answer, Mitchell's agent even publicly complained in the media:

"Of course, Donovan's performance is getting better and better. This is completely within our expectations. In fact, anyone can see that Mitchell can become a superstar in the future. He has perseverance, excellent offensive skills and an extremely dedicated attitude. I think if there is the intention of the team, he would not mind playing in another place!"

He dared to be so awesome in his rookie season, who gave him the courage.

But the Mavericks really can't help it.

Kevin Durant will be out for more than a week due to injury. At this time, Qin Yang's attack with the ball is an idiot's behavior. Mitchell's appearance shared part of the pressure.

The good thing is that Mitchell's professional attitude is very good, he trains hard and plays hard.

The more this is the case, the more tangled the Mavericks are.

In recent years, the NBA has developed faster and faster, and rookies have received more and more praise after entering the league.

At the very beginning, James entered the league as the favorite of heaven in 03, and the boss of the team dared to let James carry the shoes.

But ten years later, after the team chose the No. [-] pick, as long as they showed their strength, other players would not dare to die at all.

seek death?

Instantly traded.

The status of rookies, especially outstanding rookies, has greatly increased.

Want to press Darko for two or three seasons like Larry Brown did before?it's out of the question.Not to mention that other teams in the league will covet it, just after the incident, the impact will be bad.

For a superstar embryo like Mitchell, it is uncomfortable to be selected.

On December 12, the day after the home victory against the Raptors, Qin Yang was called to the team office.

Owner Cuban, team manager Nelson Jr., team coach Carlisle and other important personnel were all present, and Dirk was also present.

"Bruce, we want to hear your opinion. After the end of this season, the team has some big problems!" As the team manager, Nelson Jr. looked a little uncomfortable.

"About Kevin or Donovan?"

Qin Yang asked.

The boss Cuban said directly: "Both, Bruce, things are a little troublesome. Kevin Durant will leave next season. Although the next home is uncertain, he will definitely not stay in Dallas. In addition, whether we want to renew Nurkic, and Donovan Mitchell wants to leave, what do we need to do?"

The Mavericks also said in a panic.

Although the regular season record this season will not be particularly good, it is no problem to enter the playoffs, or even win the first place in the regular season record.

Winning the playoffs is also very possible.

But after the off-season.

Kevin Durant is destined to leave, and the small forward lacks a main force.

James Ennis is also good, but he is a little weak as a starter who is aiming to win the championship, and only a superstar Qin Yang leads the team, so it is too difficult to win the championship.

The other teams are all Big Three, and the Big Four are flying, how can Qin Yang play alone.

Qin Yang sat on the chair, remained silent, took a sip from his teacup, and then said, "Actually, if Kevin wants to leave, let's go. There are still many superstars at the small forward position, so there's no need to worry too much. If Mitchell wants to leave, let him go too. As long as the draft pick and a player suitable for the best sixth man are traded, it's enough."

"As for Nurkic, I don't recommend renewing the contract at a high price. Now the slow-moving inside line is getting more and more restrained. Every time Nurkic plays for too long, others are struggling on the defensive end."

Qin Yang said that he was silent here.

Coach Carlisle coughed and agreed:

"I think it's okay. In the past few years, the salaries of the insiders who have the same data as Nurkic have been very low. It's not that they don't give high salaries, but if they are given high salaries, it's not worth it. The current tactical play of the league, the slow-moving insiders are at a disadvantage!"

In recent years, the NBA has developed rapidly, the overall strength of players has risen rapidly, and the rules and tactics have been further improved.

Under the current rules and tactics, the slow-moving inside line is very difficult, almost being found by the opponent.

Generally, if a team has a slow inside line that is good at offense, it will definitely have a fast outside line that is good at defense.

The Cavaliers are Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson, and the Mavericks are Gobert and Nurkic.

Nurkic is not bad, but it is not appropriate to give a high salary.

This season, in many games, Nurkic was directly used by the opposing forward player to use his speed to break through after covering, or make an emergency stop jump shot.

This is an unsolvable tactic.

Last season, Qin Yang spent a lot of energy helping him defend.

This is why Nurkic couldn't get a big contract.

"Bruce, who do you think our goal is next season?" Don Nelson finally asked with a smile.

The Mavericks wanted to trade for a superstar, and Qin Yang was the most important person. Without Qin Yang's approval, the Mavericks would not dare to trade.

Qin Yang thought for a while and said:

"Two candidates, Paul or Jimmy, the team doesn't need too many people with the ball. The cooperation with Kevin Durant is not very good."

There are no outsiders here, Qin Yang said bluntly.

In the past two seasons, the Mavericks seemed to be very dominant, but in fact, they didn't play well tactically. Kevin Durant's off-ball was a bit worse, he was good at attacking with the ball for a long time, and he liked to play alone with the ball.

It is very difficult to change now.

When Rudy Gay was in the past, the Mavericks won consecutive championships and played very smoothly tactically. Even if they lost, it was just ups and downs.

But now, the Mavericks are much stiffer tactically.

Qin Yang also made many sacrifices.

Manager Nelson frowned after hearing Qin Yang's words: "Both of them have difficulties."

"No, it's not difficult, it's even possible to come all of them!"
