The season is over, and Deng Fang can breathe a sigh of relief.
Deng Fang has gained a lot this season.
The first is the championship, which is Deng Fang’s biggest purpose in traveling through time!
Next is money!
Deng Fang still made a lot of money this season and had a good income!
A record of 62 wins and 4 losses in the regular season earned Deng Fang $6 million, which is already a high salary among head coaches!
You know, this is the salary earned by winning games when the season is shortened. If the season starts normally, Deng Fang will get even more!
The playoffs did not shrink, Deng Fang got much more than in the regular season!
You know, every game won in the first round of the playoffs is US$200,000, every game won in the semifinals is US$400,000, every game won in the Western Conference finals is US$800,000, and in the finals, every game won by Deng Fang is US$400,000.
You can get $1.6 million!
The Warriors' record in this year's playoffs is 16 wins and 1 loss, and Deng Fang suddenly earned 11.6 million!
The two combined are close to 18 million!
This price is unmatched among the head coaching staff!
In addition, Deng Fang earned 20 million for treating Rose, 20 million for treating Bosh, and 30 million for treating James!
Of course, the most important thing is that by winning the championship, Deng Fang once again obtained 10% of the shares of the Warriors!
Now the Warriors are a hot spot in the league, and their market value has increased a lot. This 10% is worth a lot of money!
All this added up, Deng Fang earned at least 140 million!
With money, Deng Fang became more confident.
Tucker gets fined for flagrant foul?
Deng Fang stepped in for him!
Kirilenko was ejected for hitting James. His salary will be deducted due to suspension and he will also be fined?
Whatever was missing, Deng Fang made up for it!
That little money is nothing to Deng Fang now!
This is having money and being willful!
Of course, in addition to the championship and money, Deng Fang also has a lot of ability left.
Before the third game of the Finals, Deng Fang's ability points were 122. After winning the fourth game, Deng Fang gained 64 ability points. He spent 20 ability points on Curry's treatment. Now Deng Fang still has 166.
Ability value!
If this ability value is put into the finals, it will be of no use at all. It will only cure a minor injury. But if it is in the regular season, it will be very rich!
…
On June 25, 2012, the Warriors held a grand championship parade in Oakland.
Winning three consecutive championships has made the Warriors the most popular presence in Oakland. The Warriors' championship parade is a national carnival for Oakland!
After the championship parade, the Warriors disbanded on the spot.
After an intense season, the players can take a break, take a break when it's time to take a break, and relax when it's time to relax.
But not the head coach and team management.
Especially Deng Fang.
Because the draft is about to be held!
Generally speaking, the draft is equivalent to Taobao, a paradise exclusively for the bottom team in the league!
The lower the ranking, the higher the draft picks. This is an exclusive benefit given to bad teams by the league.
For teams competing for the championship, the draft picks are relatively low, and the players that can be selected are generally not very good.
The most important thing is that the championship team, or the defending champion, needs now and capable players, not young players!
Young players have talent and a future, but not now!
Therefore, generally speaking, strong teams will not work hard on the draft, but will do their homework on the subsequent trading market.
But that’s not the case with the Warriors!
The problem with rookies is uncertainty. No one knows which rookie is easy to use and which is not.
But Deng Fang knew it!
If the system hadn't allowed Deng Fang to choose at will, Deng Fang could have chosen all the young talents and promising ones!
Even if the Warriors don't use it, you can still make a profit by reselling it once you play it!
But the system doesn't allow Deng Fang to do this, so there's nothing we can do.
Deng Fang must make a move in the draft this year because there are some people he must win.
Why?
Because there are Barnes and Draymond Green in this year's draft!
These two people are very important to the future Warriors!
In another two years, the system will not allow the Warriors' roster to be different from the historical roster.
In other words, Barnes and Draymond Green must be on the Warriors' roster in two years' time!
In this case, Deng Fang must take action in advance and control everything in his own hands.
Once two people are selected by other teams, Deng Fang will have no control over their development!
The Warriors currently have two first-round picks, one is their own, No. 30 in the first round, and the other is the Mavericks, No. 21 in the first round.
The Mavericks' draft pick was acquired by the Warriors in exchange for Laga Bell through a three-way trade in the mid-term trade.
This transaction is of great significance to the Warriors. One is that they received a first-round pick, and the other is that the total salary is reduced and no luxury tax is paid.
In addition to these two first-round picks, the Warriors also have a second-round pick, the 31st overall pick.
The second-round pick is determined based on regular season record rankings. The Warriors ranked first in the league during the regular season, so the second-round pick is the first pick.
In fact, Deng Fang has three targets in this year's draft. In addition to Barnes and Draymond Green, there is another one, Middleton.
For later generations of basketball fans, Middleton is still very famous, especially his performance in the Bucks, which has conquered many people and is also known as a "hot man"!
…
On June 29, 2012, the draft was held in Madison Square, New York.
Although Deng Fang is bound to win against Barnes, Green and Middleton, he is not in a hurry, and the Warriors have not made much movement.
On the contrary, Deng Fang also instructed Warriors general manager Tim to trade the 30th pick in the first round in exchange for two second-round picks, one with the 36th pick and the other with the 45th pick!
The Warriors’ operation confused many people!
You know, Deng Fang has been making constant moves in the draft in the past two years. First he selected Curry, then Hayward, and then Clay!
These three people all performed very well, especially Curry, who won the MVP and FMVP for three consecutive years!
Klay also played very well. He became the starter in the first year and cooperated well with Curry. The two of them can be said to be the strongest backcourt in the league!
Even Hayward performed well. Many people believe that if he were not in the talented Warriors, Hayward would definitely perform better.
A championship-winning team can make outstanding moves in the draft every year. This is amazing!
This is one of the reasons why the Warriors won three consecutive championships without paying a penny of luxury tax!
The draft is an opportunity for bad teams to strengthen, so where is the place for the defending champion to eat and drink?!
However, it can also be seen from this that Deng Fang’s vision of looking at people is far from ordinary people!
Therefore, every move of the Warriors in the draft has attracted much attention!
The Warriors want to move the draft pick forward? There must be a good prospect!
The Warriors actually moved the draft pick later?
It's over, it seems there are no good players to choose from this year!
