Deng Fang was well prepared and was very satisfied with the results of the draft.
In the end, Barnes wasn't selected by the Magic until the 18th pick in the first round!
It can be seen from this that later generations of Barnes were very lucky, and only the Warriors in the lottery took a fancy to him.
Similarly, the Warriors were also very lucky. The development speed of later generations did not disappoint the Warriors. In the end, he also made a considerable contribution to the Warriors.
The first round pick in the hands of the Warriors is the 21st pick. Deng Fang is a little bit unlucky. There are only three Warriors left to wait for Barnes.
But Deng Fang didn't care, he was quite satisfied with the result.
As soon as the Magic drafted Barnes, Deng Fang instructed general manager Tim to negotiate with the Magic.
You selected the 18th pick, and I have the 21st pick in my hand. Our picks are about the same. How about I give you the 45th pick in the second round?
disagree?
Then add another first-round pick for the Warriors next year!
Nothing is impossible, it’s just that you don’t have enough chips!
As long as the chips you give are tempting enough, the other party will definitely agree!
For the Magic, Barnes was not a player they particularly liked.
If he really had talent that was visible to the naked eye, he would have been picked by a lottery team long ago!
Although making a trade with the Warriors always makes people nervous, in the end the Magic agreed to the deal.
There's no way, the Warriors' bargaining chip is too tempting!
The Warriors' two first-round picks this year and next year, plus this year's second-round pick No. 45, were exchanged for Barnes, who was selected by the Magic with the 18th pick.
Two first-round picks plus a second-round pick, this deal won’t be a loss no matter how you look at it!
Does Barnes have the talent of Anthony Davis? Is he as good as Lillard?
No matter how you look at it, it’s impossible!
Since they are all similar, it is better to cast a wider net!
Three rookies have a higher chance of becoming a talent than one, right?
The Magic are very satisfied, and the Warriors are even more satisfied!
Of course, only Deng Fang was satisfied!
General manager Tim is confused here. He can't figure out why Deng Fang would do this!
Is Barnes that good?
Is it worth it for the Warriors?
Besides, we are strong and have strong soldiers and horses, so there is no need to work hard to find a rookie in the draft and train it!
There are so many veterans who want to hug their thighs!
Of course Deng Fang will not explain anything to Tim. He just needs to be obedient and perform Deng Fang's tasks well.
Deng Fang was very satisfied with getting Barnes as he wished.
Although the Warriors took out three draft picks, they were not actually worth much.
This year's first-round pick was acquired from the Mavericks in exchange for the 21st pick. Next year's Warriors' draft pick will definitely be the 30th pick!
Deng Fang is very confident that the Warriors will continue to win the regular season championship next season!
The second round pick with the 45th pick is even worthless!
The Warriors traded these things for Barnes, the 18th overall pick!
This is different from the 7th overall pick, Barnes!
Because the annual salary for different rankings is different!
The 7th overall pick has an annual salary of 2.8 million, while the 18th overall pick has an annual salary of 1.49 million!
The difference between the two is almost doubled!
Although it seems to be only over one million, which is not much, this salary space is still very useful for a team.
You know, Curry's rookie contract is about to expire, and renewal will be discussed this year.
There is no doubt that Curry will definitely renew his contract with the maximum salary!
The Warriors' total salary is now close to the luxury tax line. For this reason, the Warriors made a special deal during the mid-season trade last season, sending away the championship hero Laga Bell, successfully reducing the total salary to the luxury tax line.
below tax.
If they didn't make that deal, the Warriors would have to pay the luxury tax.
The salary space of more than one million yuan is also very important for teams competing for the championship.
After capturing Barnes, Deng Fang felt more confident.
Not surprisingly, the Warriors selected Middleton with the 31st pick in the second round and Draymond Green with the 36th pick.
Historically, Middleton was the 39th pick in the second round, and Draymond Green was the 35th pick.
Won all three of Deng Fang's favorite players!
After selecting the player you want, the next step is to sign the contract.
At midnight on July 1, 2012, the free agent market officially opened.
Under Deng Fang's instruction, the Warriors signed rookie contracts with Barnes, Draymond Green and Middleton.
There's nothing much to say about Barnes' contract. The amount is fixed and stipulated. What the two parties want to discuss is the length of the contract.
In the end, both parties signed a four-year contract, with no options for either party.
Deng Fang knew in his heart that Barnes would stay with the Warriors for at least four years, and he would not stay after four years. Moreover, with Deng Fang here, he would not worry about injuries.
The contracts of Middleton and Draymond Green are easy to talk about. They are both second-round picks. Second-round picks have no rights and basically just depend on the team.
Whatever the team wants to sign, you just sign and agree!
Do you still have any opinions?
Be careful to transfer to the Development League or just leave it there without signing!
He's already considered a second-round pick, but if he still dares to act blindly, wouldn't he be a fool?
In the end, both signed a three-year contract, with the third year being a team option or a partially guaranteed contract.
As for the contract amount, it’s just a tiny bit higher than the base salary!
The basic salary is 850,000, and the annual salary of both of them is 900,000!
There is a reason why Deng Fang did this.
If the minimum salary is truly an exception, then the contract can only be signed for two years at most. At that time, the team will only have the player's early bird rights instead of the bird rights. Once the contract expires, the team will not have so many advantages when renewing the contract.
A contract that is slightly higher than the base salary can be signed for three years, and the team also has bird rights.
Deng Fang did this mainly for the sake of Green's future contract.
Draymond Green is an indispensable role in the future Warriors lineup and he must stay on the team.
Green is a very special player. He may not be worth much to other teams, but he is worth a lot to the Warriors.
It is for this reason that after Green won the first championship in team history with the Warriors in 40 years, he naturally received a five-year, $85 million contract extension, thus surpassing Curry's.
"Child labor contracts" quickly "get rich".
However, judging from Green's ability, he is not worth the maximum salary.
But how can we avoid this happening?
The only way to start is from now on!
Two years later, before Green is reused, renew his contract in advance and sign a low-priced long-term contract. In this case, there will be no use for Green to regret it later!
As for Middleton, he is just a foil.
Middleton is drafted higher than you Green, and they have signed such a contract, how dare you not sign it?
According to the requirements of the system, Middleton cannot stay with the Warriors for a long time. He will be sent away after playing two seasons.
A three-year basic salary contract, if you put it on the market after making a name for yourself, you will definitely get a good price!
