Chapter 434 Coaching and Trading
Stan Van Gundy's words were called by many media as flattering Qin Yang.
The status of a superstar in the league is indeed very high, but an upright boy like Mr. Stan Van Gundy speaks from his heart.
In the season after Qin Yang left, Stan Van Gundy and Howard were in dire straits, and the friendship between master and apprentice was gone, so they broke up completely.
This made Stan Van Gundy very sad.
At this time, Qin Yang invited coach Van Gundy, and Van Gundy agreed.
Compared with Howard, Qin Yang gave Van Gundy a much better impression.
With a reliable team leader, many tasks of the coach will be easy to carry out. Otherwise, the coach and the team leader will have a quarrel, and the team coach will probably leave in the end.
The coach of the Kings has been selected, and the team deal for this season can finally be implemented.
The Kings have traded a lot this season.
Landry's contract expires, and the Kings have no intention of giving him a big contract. Landry will definitely join other teams.
Hawes' contract will not continue to be implemented by the Kings. He did not play a veteran role at all last season.
At the power forward position, the Kings have a vacancy.
In addition, the swingman is up, and the Kings have to trade.
As a point guard, Udrih's defense is too poor. When Qin Yang has enough playing time, such a point guard is completely unnecessary.
Tyreke Evans also wanted to trade. It was very obvious that he and Qin Yang did not match tactically.
The rest of the league coveted Tyreke Evans deeply.
The same contract expires as well as Ray Allen.
In addition, Nocioni is ready to play in the European League, and Hawes also wants to leave. The Kings lineup is now confirmed to be only Qin Yang, Darko, Cousins, Casspi, Francisco Garcia, and Hassan Whiteside.
As for Hassan Whiteside, he sat on the bench for a season and can be ignored.
In other words, the Kings now have only six confirmed players, and the rest of the lineup still has a lot of maneuverability.
On June 2011, 6, the new NBA draft began.
Because of the good record of the Kings this season, the draft picks are relatively late, so this year's draft is not the focus for the Kings.
In this year's draft, the goal of the Kings is to find immediate combat power.
The No. [-] pick in the first round, the Cavaliers selected Kelly Irving.
After James left, the Cavaliers' record declined rapidly, and it was expected by everyone to win the No. [-] pick.
From this perspective, it can also be seen how strong James is.
The Timberwolves selected Derrick Williams.
The Jazz selected Enes Kanter.
The Cavaliers next selected Tristan Thompson.
The Cavaliers have so many draft picks this year. After losing James, the Cavaliers' strategy is obvious: rebuild.
But the only thing I feel is that this year's rookies are a bit weak. It is a small draft year in recent years. With such an opportunity, it is still very difficult for the Cavaliers to rebuild.
The Kings selected Klay Thompson with the No. 11 pick.
This player has a good defense and is good at three-pointers. He is the most suitable partner with Qin Yang, so the Kings made this choice.
This round of draft picks has been traded out and the Kings have no other trades.
The day after the draft, Qin Yang called to express his welcome to Klay Thompson, which is what the boss of the team should do.
As a result, the team is still missing a lot of players.
The first team to get it done was Ray Allen.
Ray Allen's contract expired this season and he became a free agent.At this time, many teams in the league are chasing Ray Allen.
The once top three-point shooter, the superstar, is still very attractive.
Especially now that Ray Allen doesn't need so many possessions, he is more suitable as a partner than when he was young.
The media broke the news that the Heat invited Ray Allen to join.
But Qin Yang called directly: "Lei, stay here, we will win the championship together this season."
Ray Allen hesitated and accepted the Kings contract.
The Heat are certainly a good place to be, but the Kings are not bad either.Last season, the Kings performed very well and made great progress. This season, the main players basically stayed. In this way, as long as the Kings operate properly, they will be a strong contender for the championship.
Furthermore, Qin Yang and Ray Allen did a good job as a backcourt partner last season.
Ray Allen finally chose the Kings.
After that, the Kings made a big deal, the Grizzlies, Raptors, Kings, and Pistons made a big four-team deal. The Kings traded away Tyreke Evans, Udri, and got Rudy Gay and Sean Livingston.
This transaction is rated B-.
Los Angeles local media commented:
"In this deal, the Kings lost their future, but gained instant combat power. The weaker Kings got Rudy Gay, who got reinforcements at the small forward position, but lost the team's future Tyreke Evans."
The deals of various teams in the off-season this season are not big.
Ibaka and James Harden all chose to stay with the team.
Duncan's final year contract is still in effect.
Marc Gasol got an offer from the Rockets, but was eventually matched by the Grizzlies.
The Bulls successfully re-signed Gibson.
The Celtics and the New Orleans Partridges' deal about David West's sign-and-trade went bankrupt, and the Kings finally got David West for two years and 200 million.
Then the team signed Grant Hill from the Knicks.
In this way, the basic lineup of the Kings has been determined.
Qin Yang, Ray Allen, Livingston, Grant Hill, Francisco Garcia, Casspi, Rudy Gay, Darko, Cousins, David West, Hassan Whiteside, Klay Thompson.
This lineup is not particularly strong, but it is very good.
The veterans are guarded by David West and Grant Hill.
Rookies Casspi, Cousins, Klay Thompson.
Powerful stars Paul, Qin Yang, Lei Lan, Rudy Gay.
This lineup, both inside and outside, is very competitive.
After the lineup was determined, Qin Yang immediately posted his thoughts on Twitter: "New journey, work hard for the championship!"
Attached is a picture of Qin Yang training hard.
The tweet was immediately ridiculed by the Chicago media:
"Maybe Bruce thinks it's as easy to make the playoffs as it is to win the championship, but Rose, who has experience in the Eastern Conference Finals, will tell him, man, wake up, the championship is not so easy to win."
Seeing such words, Qin Yang replied:
"I've had more Finals experience than anyone currently playing in Chicago."
clap clap clap!
It's a slap in the face. Since Qin Yang entered the league, he has entered the finals for two consecutive years. The Bulls players are really incomparable.
But just after Qin Yang posted this tweet, someone fan Aite called Qin Yang and posted a video.
