Chapter 54
As Wang Xiao expected, after more than ten minutes of discussion, the Wizards still decided to hire Wang Xiao after the team owner made the final decision.
The Wizards immediately drew up a contract and signed it.
This is a two-year contract with an annual salary of $300 million.
300 million, which belongs to the middle and lower level among NBA coaches. It is not the lowest, but it is definitely not high.
As a coach in his early 30s without any NBA achievements, Wang Xiao feels that he is already very satisfied with such a salary.
As for the two-year period, I am afraid that the Wizards still don't trust Wang Xiao, and are worried that Wang Xiao will mess up.
The starting time stipulated in the contract is after the end of the 08-09 season, which means that Wang Xiao does not need to lead the team for the rest of the season, but Wang Xiao's trading decision has already begun on the day the contract is signed Executed.
After signing the contract, Wang Xiao returned to Harvard first.
This season, the Wizards have basically missed the playoffs. Under Wang Xiao's suggestion, the team decided to play poorly in order to obtain a high draft pick. Under such circumstances, Wang Xiao is not suitable to be exposed to the media, because The team also needs the current head coach to lead the team to lose.
They are going to wait until the end of this season before firing the current head coach, and then announce the news of Wang Xiao's cooperation with the Wizards.
So before that, Wang Xiao will still be a coach at Harvard.
Wang Xiao had handed over the work to Jack before, and Wang Xiao was not going to take it back. Jack has done a good job these days, which fully proved his ability to lead the Harvard school team.
As for Wang Xiao who is free, in addition to guiding the team in terms of general direction, the main energy is on studying the Wizards roster.
Honestly, the current situation for the Wizards ... is not particularly ideal.
The salary cap for the 08-09 season is $5868 million, while the trigger line for the luxury tax is $7115 million.
As a team that has reached the Eastern Conference playoffs for four consecutive years, the Wizards can be regarded as luxurious in the team lineup.
Arenas renewed his contract with the team for 08 years and 6 million US dollars in the summer of 1.1. Now it is the first year of the contract, with an annual salary of 1465 million US dollars.
Following Arenas is All-Star power forward Antawn Jamison, whose salary is 992 million.
Caron Butler 925 million, Ethan Thomas 686 million, Mike James 624 million, Brandon Haywood 550 million.
……
The total salary of the entire team has reached as high as 7073 million US dollars, which is only one step away from the bottom line of the luxury tax.
The contracts of Arenas, Jamison and Butler are all valuable contracts, after all, these three have performed very well in the past two seasons.
But the contract between Ethan Thomas and Mike James is a typical garbage contract. These two players, Wang Xiao, don't even have any impression. After looking at the performance of the previous seasons, they are nothing but dead-on-the-jobs with no bright spots. There is nothing at all. transaction value.
After researching for several days, Wang Xiao found helplessly that the really attractive bargaining chips for the Wizards were nothing more than Arenas, Jamison, Butler and Haywood.
Arenas is definitely going to leave. Wang Xiao couldn't bear the gunmen incident, especially Wang Xiao's temper is not particularly good. If he meets a thorn like Arenas, if he annoys the other party, he will What if you shoot yourself?
He didn't want to die before he left the school.
Although Arenas didn't play much for two consecutive seasons because of the season reimbursement for surgery, the famous general still has some trading value. The 26-year-old player is in the golden period of the player's peak, and he has just signed a big contract.
Wang Xiao felt that if Arenas was put on the shelves, even with one or two fillers, many teams would be interested.
What Wang Xiao wants most is undoubtedly the top draft pick in 09.
The 09 NBA draft can be regarded as the best quality one in the next few years.
Stephen Curry, James Harden, and DeMar DeRozan.
Wang Xiao now only has one possible future No. [-] pick in his hand, which in his opinion is not enough.
Only children make choices, and I want them all!
Wang Xiao's goal is to rob both Curry and Harden to the Wizards!
In theory, this operation is absolutely feasible!
Whether it's Curry or Harden, they both belong to the combo position. The former partnered with Monta Ellis when he first joined the Warriors, while the latter played directly as a substitute for the Thunder for three years. There is absolutely no conflict of styles.
What is the biggest advantage of the traversers?It is prophetic!
Now that it is known that these two people will be Hall of Fame-level superstars in the future, how can Wang Xiao let it go?
As for DeRozan, it's like a spare tire choice.
Although this is also an All-Star player who averaged 27 points per game at his peak, he is much worse than Curry and Harden.
If both Curry and Harden are not captured as planned, grabbing a DeRozan midway is also an acceptable choice.
When Wang Xiao was researching the team roster, the outside world had not received any information, and everything was going on as usual.
Harvard continued to advance in the league, averaging 24 points per game, but never allowed opponents to score more than 70 points under their defense.
Corresponding to Harvard's winning streak is the successive defeats of the NBA team Washington Wizards.
This team, which has reached the playoffs for four consecutive years, seems to have lost its spirit after the team's core Arenas underwent surgery this year, although the other two stars in the team, Jamison and Butler, were able to Contributed 22.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and 20.8 points and 6 rebounds, but it was still difficult to prevent the team from failing.
Many media believe that under such circumstances, the Wizards' coach should be out of class soon. After all, his previous term was fired after 11 games and 10 losses at the beginning of this season.
But the Wizards surprisingly didn't make any moves.
Not only did he not fire the head coach of the team, he didn't make any big moves before the trade deadline. He just tried to put a few players with rubbish contracts on the shelf in an attempt to get rid of the burden.
"Washington Wizards obviously went through a very bad season. After losing the core of the team, Gilbert, they completely lost their direction. This Eastern Conference team performed very poorly this season, but... there will always be Ushering in the rainbow, I believe that after Arenas returns from injury next season, the Wizards who maintain the current lineup will definitely return to the ranks of the strong teams in the playoffs!
This is ESPN's evaluation of the Wizards' lack of action on the trade deadline.
At this time, no one would have imagined that in a few months, this strong team, which many people saw as a complete lineup, would be dismantled to pieces by some genius coach...
