Being exploited

The performance of the Timberwolves in the draft this time was seen as too much incomprehensible to many outsiders.

Zach LaVine, Jokic, and Grant were the three players selected by the Timberwolves in the first round. In Chen Dazhuang's opinion, they perfectly solved his team building plan. Then, Chen Dazhuang also picked among the three picks in the second round.

Only two people were selected, namely Joe Harris and Dinwiddie. The last pick, No. 60, Chen Dazhuang, chose to give up.

The end of the draft also heralds that there will be a large number of transactions and rookie signings, and then the opening of a new round of free market. The biggest fish in the NBA free market this year is naturally the free agent James.

, of course everyone knows that James must return to Cleveland, and everyone is looking forward to the announcement of the final result.

In Chen Dazhuang's plan, at most only one of Joe Harris and Dinwiddie can be left.

This year's summer league, the Timberwolves have already determined that Smith will lead the team to participate in the summer league in Las Vegas. Except for Jokic, who will not be able to attend, all rookies will participate, and some will also be selected.

The undrafted players participate in the competition.

And after the Timberwolves ended the summer league today, they will have an important task in the preseason, which is to participate in the NBA China Game, and will go to China with the San Antonio Spurs.

The start of the free market is approaching day by day, and various rumors have begun to appear in many media. However, the Timberwolves are very low-key. Chen Dazhuang also took Kelly on a sweet vacation trip. As for

The team's affairs naturally depend on Milt, a tool man.

It is worth mentioning that Sanders resigned as CEO of the Timberwolves a few days after the Timberwolves won the championship, and Milt officially became the team's CEO after the draft.

The position is held concurrently by Chen Dazhuang, which means that Dazhuang officially takes charge of the Timberwolves.

The time has finally arrived on July 1, and the free market for the new season officially begins.

With the opening of the free market, various teams' contract renewals, rookie signings and other reinforcement work are also being carried out one after another. The news in major media is basically all news from 30 teams.

Melo Anthony, who has become a big fish in the free market like James, also completed his contract extension with the New York Knicks.

On July 12, James officially announced his return to Cleveland on his social networking site, claiming that he wanted to go home, just like when he left Cleveland four years ago. Although James claimed that Miami is his second hometown, the Heat's

Fans think James betrayed the Heat.

When they left Cleveland, some Cavaliers fans burned James' jersey, but this time it was the Heat fans' turn. A giant poster of the Heat family portrait on the streets of Miami, James's head has been blacked out, and the Heat fans used

This way they vent their dissatisfaction.

It is worth mentioning that just after James announced his return to the Cavaliers, Bosh, one of the Heat's Big Three, completed a contract extension with the Heat, a five-year contract worth 118 million.

"Welcome our king home. I'm happy for the fans in Cleveland. No one deserves a championship more than them. Now we only have one belief in our hearts, which is to bring a championship trophy to this city!" The Cavaliers said that day.

Boss Gilbert posted this on his Twitter.

For a time, the combination of James + Irving + Love made the Cavaliers a popular candidate for the championship in the new season. At this time, the Timberwolves also encountered their first trouble in the preparation stage.

"Milt, don't you know that disturbing someone's dream is a very annoying thing?" Chen Dazhuang was woken up by his phone ringing early in the morning. He slowly pulled his arm out from under Kelly's body, and then

I picked up the phone and saw that it was the guy from Milt.

"Chen, I'm really sorry. Ricky's contract renewal is in trouble. I'm afraid we won't be able to keep him."

Milt's words on the other end of the phone immediately made Chen Dazhuang wake up completely. This was not good news. If Rubio could not be retained, his entire plan would be disrupted.

"What's the situation and why? Didn't we always have a good discussion before?"

The contract extension with Rubio was once at a deadlock. The Timberwolves were willing to offer a 4-year contract with RMB 4,200, but Rubio's agent team asked for a five-year contract with RMB 7,500. However, Chen Dazhuang later

After the intervention, the negotiations between the two parties continued. The progress of the negotiations between the two parties was also advancing before Da Zhuang went on vacation, so Da Zhuang started his vacation with peace of mind.

"I don't know, but I guess someone is making trouble. His agent just informed us that he hopes to get a five-year, 85 million contract, so that he can be matched with the main players of a championship team.

"

Damn it, the crazy lion is opening his mouth. This crazy lion is really taking advantage of the situation. You must not open this mouth, otherwise you will be in big trouble when you renew the contract.

"Well, I'll contact Ricky and see what he says, but this price is definitely not good. I'll call you back later."

After hanging up the phone, Da Zhuang sat there and thought for a while before dialing Rubio's number.

"Ricky, how are you doing?"

"Boss? I heard that you went on vacation. I'm doing well recently."

"Ricky, I'm calling you. You should know what's going on. I want you to tell me the reason." Da Zhuang could hear someone else on the other side of the phone.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I think I can take this much." Rubio's voice came out after waiting for a while on the other end of the phone.

"You should know what happened when Greg renewed his contract. Do you think you can get more than him?"

"Boss, I'm sorry, I still think I can."

"OK, then I can only say I'm sorry, Ricky, and thank you for your contribution to the Timberwolves last season. Now you are completely free."

After saying this, Da Zhuang immediately hung up the phone.

MLGB, let's see what you can do if you go to another team.

"Milt, don't continue talking. Please help me compile some information on point guards in the free market. I will go back later and we will have detailed discussions and inquire about the possibility of some transactions."

After hanging up the phone with Rubio, Da Zhuang immediately notified Milt.

"Dear, what's wrong? What happened?" At this time Kelly came over.

"I'm afraid I have to end my vacation early. Ricky's contract extension negotiation with the team has collapsed. I need to find a new point guard for the team."
