One day later, Davidson caught the Grizzly Generals and came to the city of Houston.

Because of what Lao Wang said, Davidson now has no affection for Houston at all.

Because the team's annual income, profitability and owner information are not a secret, the club is not prohibited from spreading these messages.

After chatting with others, Davidson also learned about the Rockets' situation.

The Rockets are considered to be an old team in the NBA league, but their profitability is not strong, and they can only be considered ordinary, and they are considered to be the kind of team that neither loses money nor makes much money.

For example, the Rockets' gross income per year is about 65 million US dollars.

It seems that $65 million a year is already a lot, but if you consider taxes, player salary, staff salary, stadium rental and other expenses, there is only a lot left.

The Rockets' home stadium Toyota Center Arena is not the Rockets' owner's stadium. They have to pay for playing games in this stadium.

This situation has been directly improved since 2002. The Rockets have become the top five teams in the league in profitability, and even surpassed the Los Angeles Lakers in terms of profitability in a single season.

In 2002, the Rockets' profit was only 80 million, but by 2009, the Rockets' profit reached a height of nearly 170 million.

In just seven years, more than doubled in profits, why did this happen?!

That is naturally the support of Chinese fans and Chinese sponsors.

There are nearly 100 million NBA fans in China, of which at least 60% are Rockets fans. In this case, it is difficult for the Rockets to make money without making money.

But it is just like this team that eats China and makes money from China that does such a thing, so there is really no need for this team to support it.

Even though Yao Yao retired later, the Rockets could still make a lot of money from China.

"Coach, what are you thinking?" Dazhi asked in a daze when he saw Davidson in a daze.

"I didn't think of anything." Davidson waved his hand.

"By the way, Dazhi, remember one thing about me. No matter which team you join in the future, the Rockets must not be in your alternative plan anyway. You will also tell your national teammates, your national team younger brothers, no matter what, you can't join the Rockets anyway."

Davidson said to Dazhi.

Dazhi nodded in confusion. Although he didn't understand why Davidson suddenly said this, he still habitually obeyed Davidson's request.

One thing that comes from China is particularly good is that it is strong obedience, especially for players like Dazhi, who are military-born. The orders issued by the coach are like military orders to them.

Of course, sometimes high obedience is not necessarily a good thing.

...

"By the way, coach, you should have an impression of the little brother of our national team, right?" Dazhi thought of something and suddenly asked.

Davidson nodded. He was naturally impressed by the big young man who might be 225 in height.

"What, is he going to participate in the draft?" Davidson asked.

"He called me two days ago and did have this idea, but it seems that his club does not allow it, and he is not old enough now. He thought that after helping Shanghai win the CBA championship, he would open this conversation with the team. Maybe the team would let him participate in the draft."

"If we can win Yaoyao then, I believe that with his potential, we will definitely be able to fight." Dazhi said with a smile.

Davidson nodded. With the commercialization of CBA nowadays, it will be much more difficult for CBA players to participate in the draft.

When the bus came to participate in the draft, the bus had not even entered the professional team, and the only resistance was the basketball management center.

Later, Dazhi participated in the draft because Dazhi was born in the Bayi team, which was a relatively special team. To put it bluntly, Dazhi participated in the draft and the only resistance was the same as that of the bus, and there was also only the basketball center.

As for the subsequent players participating in the draft, it is not that simple. In addition to the resistance in the center of the basket, there may be the resistance of the original parent team.

If there is a contract, the parent team will not let anyone go, and the NBA side will not accept it.

Even if the Basketball Management Center urges the team to release people, the parent teams may not just listen to the Basketball Management Center.

In CBA history, for example, the Oshen team was tough and did not take the instructions from the basket center seriously. Later, they withdrew from the CBA league and went to the United States to play the league.

Davidson is not sure whether the young man, Dayao, can successfully participate in the draft in the future. Anyway, it seems difficult in the past two years.

If you really come to participate in the draft then, if the draft pick is low, Davidson doesn't mind taking it down.

Judging from Yao Ming's data on CBA last season, the draft pick should not be too high, after all, he only averaged 10 points and 8 rebounds per game...

...

"Doudu!" The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, and the starting player of the home and away team began to appear.

During the warm-up phase before the start of the game, Davidson chatted with Murraysan for a while.

Murraysan hasn't seen him for several months, and he feels he's gained a lot, and his tonnage is probably much bigger.

Maybe it was because of the injury that Murraysan had not been able to train well in the past six months, so his weight was naturally soaring.

Murraysan looks even more intimidating now, and he looks like a super mammoth from ancient times.

But Davidson knew very well that Murraysan's career was almost over this season.

Without the bonus of the system, and under normal circumstances, Murraysan retired this season. Murraysan's strength is probably not one out of ten.

Originally, Murraysan was definitely the top inside blue-collar center in the league.

If Rodman is not counted as a blue-collar power forward, the only person who is qualified to be compared with Murraysan is Mutombo.

Many people even have stronger Murray Sambo than Mutombo, after all, Murray Sambo's tonnage and height are more terrifying than Mutombo.

But this season, Murraysan will definitely not work.

In the first game of the Rockets' start, Murraysan played a total of 22 minutes, with only 4 points and 4 rebounds.

The decline in strength is not the biggest problem Murraysan faces.

The biggest problem with Murraysan is that it is incompatible with Pippen.

Davidson heard the rumors that conflict broke out inside the Rockets, and Murraysan and Pippen fought in the locker room...

It is conceivable that Pippen has done too much to be able to fight with a good temper like Murraysan.

However, as far as Davidson knows, Murraysan did not suffer any loss in the fight. After all, if the height and tonnage are held by the bear, Pippen will definitely not have good results.
