Chapter 37 2009 Draft Conference(2/2)
In the 18th pick in the first round, the Timberwolves chose Tylawson.
The choice of the bobcat is getting closer...
"Who chooses who?"
This time, I have to fill in the notes myself.
Li Ke stared at the draft list that had already drawn a lot of slashes in Ricciqiao's hands, swept twice, and found what he wanted:
"It's him, Tagibson!"
Ricky Joe quickly filled in Tagibson's name on the note, and after a while, the note was handed over.
David Stern in the center of the stage announced: "In the 2009 NBA Draft, the 21st pick in the first round, the Charlotte Bobcats chose the Tower from the University of Southern California! Gibson!"
The last one was the second round draft. Because the pick was too far behind, the Bobcats really had nothing to choose from, and Riccijo and Rod Higgins had a headache.
However, Li Ke found a bead after looking through the list of the draft again.
"It's him, Wesley Matthews!"
In the original historical line, Wesley Matthews was defeated.
Because he graduated from a senior year, he is old, and his data is not as gorgeous as most seniors. The original ranking he predicted was the end of the second round, so it is reasonable to lose the election.
If Li Ke's memory is correct, Wesley Matthews relied on a summer league contract with a daily salary of $113 per day to stay in the NBA.
Unlike many unselected rookies who need time to grow to return to the NBA, he was the kind of person who lost the election and made a name for himself back then.
Therefore, Li Ke is very confident that this choice will make sure to make a profit!
With the 30th overall pick in the second round, the Heat chose Robert Docher, and the 2009 draft came to an end.
Li Ke, who has strongly intervened in the team's operation, has already helped the Bobcats and ushered in a harvest season.
"Stephen Curry, Tagibson, Wesley Matthews, three are fighting power, there is still a lot to do in the new season!"
It is not an exaggeration to say that three are fighting power. If Li Ke’s memory is not wrong, the three selected by the Bobcats are all those who are in the best rookie team in the rookie season.
Curry averaged 17 points per game, Tagibson averaged 9 points, 7 and 8 rebounds per game, and Wesley Matthews averaged around 9 points.
In addition, Dai Quin Cook, Hua Er, Du, Tucker, Jordan Jr., Ryan Hollins and Joel Anthony, as well as Kenyon Martin, Itan Thomas, Dalius Sangela, and Jamaltinsley with a garbage contract.
This is all the Bobcats who still have contracts or will have contracts in the future. A large list of 15 people has been collected.
However, looking at this lineup, Li Ke feels-
"A second point guard is missing, and the garbage contract between Itan Thomas and Jamal Tinsley must also be disposed of..."
"However, the rest can only be left to Lao Qiao to deal with."
Li Ke just roughly calculated the Bobcat's salary space.
The largest contract for the entire Bobcat is Kenyon Martin with 15 million yuan, plus Gerard Wallace with more than 9 million yuan.
Next are Jamaltinsley and Itan Thomas of 7 million, and Sangela of more than 4 million.
The rest are a group of rookies or basic-paying players, including Li Ke.
Together, it can almost reach about $55 million.
The NBA salary cap for the 2009-10 season was about 57 million US dollars, which means that the Bobcats have basically hit the hat.
"If you don't have a visa, you won't have a chance unless the contract between Itan Thomas and Jamal Tinsley is processed."
However, Li Ke felt that the Bobcats now don’t need to sign any powerful players without signing, and they lack one or two substitute point guards.
So, it is not a big problem to leave the rest to Boss Qiao.
After the draft, Li Ke also made a plan for his summer.
It is necessary to have vacations, but training cannot be completely spared.
He edited WeChat and sent it to Serena Williams, Du Xiao, Jiba...
"Located together in Los Angeles, get up?"
Ding, ding, ding!
"Get up!"
Chapter completed!
