Duan has just finished his championship parade and is preparing to go to Miami to get together with Wade and others and take a ride on the waves.
At this time, I suddenly received a call from China.
"Brother Du, can I discuss something with you?"
"Xiao Zhu, if anything happens, just tell me directly."
The person who called Duen was Zhu Fangyu, a teammate of the national team. Although he had not contacted her much before, at least he still called to congratulate him on the night he won the championship some time ago!
"Brother Du, you asked me to say it, then I will say it directly.
Well, isn't the NBA draft about to begin?
Originally, among our group, only A Lian and Sun Yue would participate.
However, I recently received a notification from above, encouraging us all to give it a try.
I thought, I want to participate in the draft. If I lose the draft, it will be too ugly!
We are considered a prominent figure in the country.
But if I want to go abroad, it depends on whether my friends can help support the situation.
No, just find Brother Du here to see if Brother Du can help.
Well, I don't care about money, I just like playing with Du Ge. "
Zhu Fangyu expressed his intention and hoped that Du En would influence the Bulls management. It would be best to get a second-round pick and then sign him in the draft.
I have to say that this calculation is really loud.
The Bulls are the defending champions for the second consecutive season and are obviously the team most likely to win the championship next season.
Although it is difficult for the rookies selected by the Bulls to get too much playing time, they are the easiest team in the league to win a championship ring as a rookie.
Zhu Fangyu has prospered in the CBA and does not expect to make a name for himself in the NBA. However, if he gets an NBA championship ring as a Chinese player, the situation will be different.
Moreover, coming to play in the Bulls and having Du En take care of him will definitely be more comfortable than playing in other teams where he is unfamiliar with the place.
Zhu Fangyu took the most suitable and comfortable shortcut by entrusting her to Du En through a favor.
"We are a championship team. We will not develop rookies in these years. The draft picks have been traded away long ago."
Du En first told Zhu Fangyuming about the situation within the Bulls.
Then he bought the favor and said: "But if you are willing to come to me, then I will definitely not let you down.
I'll talk to our team's general manager later. Trading a second-round pick, which only costs a few million dollars, shouldn't be a big problem.
Just get ready and we can play together next season. "
Duan has made a name for himself in the NBA, and the market for international players is definitely bullish.
However, Zhu Fangyu failed to dominate in the CBA, and based on physical fitness alone, he would be defeated.
Therefore, if the Bulls want to sign Zhu Fangyu, a draft pick at the end of the second round is enough.
These days, second-round picks are usually worth one or two million.
Draft picks at the beginning of the second round are just like lottery picks at the end of the first round, but because the contract period is shorter and the salary is smaller, the risk is smaller and therefore more valuable.
Draft picks at the end of the second round are gold diggers, and you can get them for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
By the way, this year's draft is not considered a big draft year. Whether it is a first-round pick or a second-round pick, it is not too expensive.
So Duan said, it is very simple for the Bulls to get a draft pick at the end of the second round.
And with Zhu Fangyu's talent and ability, even if he can't play in the NBA, as long as he can be patient and practice, just using the Bulls' training equipment and team training games, there will definitely be a lot of success in next year's Olympics. promote.
Du En is willing to sell Zhu Fangyu a favor just so that he can perform well in the World Championship next year and in the next few years.
You know, Jordan is not only the god of the NBA, he is still very successful in the world championship, which is hard to compare with.
"By the way, have you registered in advance? You can't just participate in the NBA draft if you want to. You need to submit the registration form two months before the draft."
Duan suddenly remembered this.
There are not many domestic players who have the ambition to enter the NBA these days, let alone enter the NBA through a formal draft.
Therefore, Zhu Fangyu and others decided to participate in the draft at the last minute. However, because they did not know the process of participating in the draft, they made a decision on the fly. They would not even be able to enter the NBA draft gate by then, which was not accurate.
“I signed up, and after playing in the World Championships, everyone said I wanted to sign up.
Ah Lian has already decided that he will definitely come, but how to do it depends on the meaning above.
Wasn't Xue Yuyang selected earlier? Just because Dazhi didn't come.
We were also worried about this, so we first looked at the wind direction.
There is no problem with Ah Lian, and there is no problem with Sun Yue.
We all signed up, and just a few days after Du Ge won the championship, the notice came down.
They all encourage us to come to the NBA to earn foreign exchange, hehehehehe..."
After hearing what Zhu Fangyu said, Du En was fine.
This summer, the Bulls will definitely have some changes in their roster due to the big contract they signed Duane, as well as the early contract extensions of Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, and Josh Smith.
As far as Dunn knows, both Diaw and Andres Nocioni's contracts have expired.
As a main rotation player, outside teams will definitely use poisonous contracts to force the Bulls to release him.
As the player's home team, the Bulls are eligible to match the qualifying offer.
In other words, there is an opportunity to negotiate with the team interested in signing these two people, and then make a verbal commitment to trade through sign-and-trade in the future to obtain the draft rights of other teams in advance.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with buying draft picks in advance with cash.
However, the draft is about to begin, and most teams have already selected their favorite candidates through trials.
If Du En wants the Bulls to acquire Zhu Fangyu, he needs to explain the draft to the management as soon as possible.
"No problem, we are already working on solving this problem.
Since we are teammates of your national team, we believe in the strength of your teammates.
We will sign him, don't worry. "
Not long after, Du En told the management about Zhu Fangyu and the second-round signing, and received a corresponding reply.
However, Duan's vacation plans were delayed.
Because the management has been making a lot of preparations to renew the contract with Duen during this period, and now that Duen has taken the initiative to come to the door, it is natural to talk about the contract extension in advance.
If Du En had an agent, this kind of thing would definitely be resolved by the agent.
The problem is, Du En didn't hire an agent, so Du En can only talk about it himself.
However, as before, Dunn still invited Nike bosses and Nike's legal department.
Time came to July 8 in the blink of an eye. After half a month of negotiations, Duen's new contract was finally reached.
"Dunn, thank you for supporting our work. We will not let you down in the next five years."
