The biggest advantage of winning the championship at home is that you can celebrate with the fans and have fun together. Nothing can compare to that feeling.
Awards, celebrations, press conferences, and then a parade throughout the city to celebrate!
Once the entire process is completed, the 2013-14 season will truly be over.
Of course, for most teams, the 13-14 season is over long ago!
Teams that do not make the playoffs can take a happy vacation at the end of the regular season!
A team that enters the playoffs will be GAMEOVER the moment it is eliminated!
Only the winning team ends the season last, so they have the least time to rest.
Because the intensity of the playoffs and the regular season is not at the same level, the competition is strong and the consumption is high, and the championship team only plays one game at most, so the biggest trouble for the championship team is injuries.
The defending champions are in greater trouble, because they play a lot of games with high intensity, and their opponents attach great importance to them. They all regard you as a thorn in their side and a touchstone. Therefore, the defending champion team consumes a lot of money physically and often has a lot of injuries.
Injury hazards.
Although Deng Fang is here, the Warriors still have the same problem.
So as soon as the season ended, Deng Fang gave the team a holiday - all rest, complete relaxation and recuperation!
Of course, players can rest, but Deng Fang cannot.
Because the draft is coming soon.
There is also a trading market behind the draft, and Deng Fang needs to be in charge of these things.
This summer is very critical because the system requirements have been upgraded again, leaving little room for Deng to operate.
The first is the draft.
Deng Fang has nothing to do in this year's draft, except make money!
Because the system requires that the Warriors' roster next season should be exactly the same as in history, and the main players from that year are now in the lineup, so Deng Fang has nothing to do.
This year's draft is said to be a big year, with a lot of talent coming out, but also some omissions.
For example, Jokic, the second-round pick No. 41!
To be honest, if there were no restrictions in the system, Deng Fang would definitely be the first to get Jokic. There is no doubt about it.
There is a reason why Jokic was drafted at No. 41. He is very heavy, slow, and has poor jumping. As an inside player, his defense in the penalty area is very poor, so there is basically no need to count on it. It is even more difficult to switch to the outside.
Can be trained by the military.
But Jokic's advantages are also very prominent, that is, he has a high football IQ, comprehensive offensive skills, and is especially good at passing!
Jokic has low-post back-up skills, a soft touch, a good mid-range shot, and a pretty good three-pointer. With his weight, he can't restrict his opponents in the penalty area.
The most important thing is that Jokic's passing skills are quite good. Whether it is passing the ball when playing in the low post, or assisting at the top of the arc, or hand-to-hand with the defender, or long pass from the backcourt, Jokic
Qidu is very powerful, it is not an exaggeration to say he is a top passer!
When a person's advantages are strong enough and cannot be restricted by his opponents, his shortcomings can be ignored!
If Jokic is picked, he will have immediate combat power, which will significantly improve the Warriors' strength!
With the No. 41 pick, Deng Fang could get him at almost no cost, but he could only watch.
In addition, there are No. 33 pick Joe Harris and No. 25 pick Capela. Both of them are good role players. They are good choices to train for two years or to resell.
But Deng Fang couldn’t choose!
Of course, there are also good candidates for lottery picks, such as Embiid. If it were not for injuries, he would definitely be the No. 1 pick.
Using the draft picks in the Warriors' hands as a bargaining chip, it won't be a problem to get Embiid, who is suffering from injuries.
But it is a pity that Deng Fang could not do this.
All Deng Fang can do is make money and hoard assets for the future!
The Warriors have several first-round picks and quite a few second-round picks, which are all money!
According to the current market situation, a second-round pick can probably be exchanged for US$2 million to US$5 million in the market. It depends on whether it is higher or lower in the draft. The higher it is, the more valuable it is!
The second round is so valuable, what about the first round pick?
It can be said to be priceless!
Of course, it’s not really priceless, it just means that no one would sell it under normal circumstances!
There is a limit to the amount of cash a team can use in a season, which is only a few million dollars. This price is only enough to buy a second-round pick or a late first-round pick.
If you want to buy a high first-round pick, you can only do it through a trade!
However, transactions often mean the exchange of players, which is an outcome Deng Fang does not want.
So Deng Fang sold a few draft picks!
Three second-round picks were sold, and three first-round picks were sold!
The three second-round picks earned a total of US$10 million, and the three first-round picks also earned US$15 million!
Of course, two of the three first-round picks belong to the Warriors and one belongs to the Nets.
The Warriors' first-round pick is almost as valuable as their second-round pick. Because they have always been No. 1 in the league, their first-round pick position is fixed at No. 30!
There's nothing you can do about it. Everything has advantages and disadvantages.
The Warriors' two first-round picks are worthless, but they were sold for 10 million. The Nets' first-round pick is much more valuable.
The Nets' ranking last season was in the middle to early stage, and their draft pick was also in the middle to late first round. However, this pick is not from this year, but from two years later. Based on their age composition, this first round pick is quite valuable.
!
However, due to the league's restrictions on the use of cash, this first-round pick can only recover 5 million in cash.
There is an upper limit on the use of cash, but other aspects can still be operated.
In addition to getting back $5 million from the Nets, the Warriors also got two second-round picks from selling their first-round pick!
This equates to millions of dollars in revenue!
Many people don't understand the Warriors' operations.
That's a first-round pick, and it belongs to the Nets! Why sell it?
If there are no restrictions in the league, a first-round pick is estimated to be worth more than 10 million. If it is a lottery pick, the value will be even higher!
Besides, the draft pick means the future. Selling the draft pick is killing the goose that lays the egg. How stupid would you be to do that?
Deng Fang didn't care at all about these comments.
If no team could provide enough cash, Deng Fang would have sold two more draft picks!
Although the Warriors have enough draft picks, they cannot sell them cheaply!
Of course Deng Fang knows the value of draft picks, but he can't use them to pick up draft picks or trade players, so why keep them in his hands?
Even after using up several draft picks, the Warriors still have four first-round picks and three second-round picks!
These four first-round picks belong to other teams, not the Warriors themselves!
The Warriors' own first-round pick is not valuable, but other teams' first-round picks are!
Besides, there aren’t many opportunities to pick up leaks every year, so why leave so many!
Just keep a few, and wait for the day when the system relaxes restrictions to start a big fight!
