June 27, the day of the 2003 NBA Draft.

Most fans are particularly concerned about this draft, known as the "platinum generation".

LeBron James, Cameron Anthony and Chris Bosh...

These young people who were already famous all over the United States before entering the league have become the focus of the basketball world.

Even the Detroit Pistons fans are extremely concerned about this year's draft.

Logically speaking, as the defending champion, the draft has nothing to do with the Pistons.

The Pistons did have a high pick, but this pick was sold for Li Ang last summer.

The arrival of Li Ang won the first championship trophy in the 21st century for Detroit.

It's a good deal to trade a draft pick for a championship.

After all, no matter how high the draft pick is, it cannot guarantee that he will definitely bring a championship to the team.

Not to mention the championship, you don’t even know if your high-ranking rookie can play.

Of course, except for the Basketball God Danzi.

Let’s put it this way, other people’s drafts are gambling, while Danzi’s drafts are playing Ming cards.

But Danzi's draft has always followed the principle of "I don't want the best one".

Then why are you laughing at? It is not easy to avoid the correct answer again and again!

Missed Roy in 2006, Gay in 2009, and missed Lopez, Ibaka and Batum.

Missed Holiday in 2009, Gibson in 2009, Bill in 2012, Lillard in 2013, McCollum...

If two or three of the above people are won, his team will not be so outrageous.

So, the Pistons exchange a high pick for a championship, which is a transaction that only makes money but not loses.

Since the Pistons do not have a high pick this year, why are Detroit fans paying great attention to this draft?

Because of rumors, Li Ang may be traded in the draft!

These rumors began a few days ago when news of the breakdown of the contract renewal of Pistons and Li Ang’s talks spread.

Not long after the championship parade, Pistons fans were still immersed in the joy of winning the championship.

ESPN reporters suddenly revealed that the renewal negotiations between Pistons and Li Ang were at a deadlock.

At that time, the entire Detroit was shocked.

What, what is written in this newspaper?

Although everyone has long known that this year is Li Ang’s contract year, it was really unexpected that a player who just won the FMVP would encounter problems in renewing his contract.

Moreover, Li Ang also said during the championship parade that the story of the Bad Kids Legion is not over yet.

What the hell is that it ended the next day?

Isn't this even more disgusting than the online writer?

Don’t mention fans, even Li Ang himself didn’t expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly.

The story of Li Ang’s Bad Boys Legion is not over yet, mainly because he always thought that there would be no accidents in renewal.

From joining the Pistons to winning the championship, Li Ang never considered renewing the contract at all. Our old Li is so clean that he only has the Pistons championship.

As a result, when Butterstern and Li Ang went to Dumas happily to sign, they learned that the Pistons had no intention of renewing the contract with Li Ang for maximum salary.

Butterstern:???

He thought he had heard it wrong.

Does this fat man Dumas know what he is talking about?

Butterstern was angry at that time because in his opinion, except for the maximum salary, any offer was extremely humiliating to Li Ang.

A 24-year-old player who just won the FMVP and is in his year of playing.

Tell me, he can't get the maximum salary?

Where can you find a player like this who can play from the No. 1 position to the coach's seat by relying on your butt?

Butterstern's confidence in asking for a maximum salary is not groundless. After all, if an agent is blindly confident about his players, it is very likely that Schroeder would have to do something like that, and he would not want to do it, but in the end he could only sign 5.4 million a year.

I guess Xiao Hei has the intention to kill his agent.

As a professional agent who is well-known in the NBA, Butterstern will never be blindly confident, and he will not make such low-level mistakes.

He knew very well how popular Li Ang was in the free agent market.

Not to mention anything else, as long as Butter Stern says "I broke up with him", Paxson of Cleveland will rush over and lick Li Ang wildly.

Paxson: It doesn’t matter. As long as you come to Cleveland, the kids are not mine! It’s okay if you are together!

Although Butterstern did not want to send Leon to Cleveland where he drove around the city for half an hour, it at least proved that Leon was worth the maximum salary.

It is reasonable for us to ask for a maximum salary.

Of course, Dumas actually wanted to keep Li Ang. In his opinion, Li Ang is also worth a maximum salary.

But after all, he is just a working person. The boss doesn't pay for it, so what he says doesn't matter.

Davidson's task for Dumas is to suppress the price and renew the contract as low as possible.

Just like Dumas did last summer with Bilups.

But Billups' situation is different from that of Li Ang.

Last summer, Billups was eager to find a place to prove himself, so he could accept it no matter how much you lower the price.

And Li Ang belongs to him who has proved himself and is eager to be respected.

Dumas also told Davidson this way, guess what the boss said?

The boss said: "I don't want money, but I'll die. Dumas sees how many skins my head is worth, so you cut it and get it to replace it!"

What can Dumas do? He said, "Boss, I am the general manager of the defending champion after all. I can't even be inferior to the lottery team, right?" Isn't this a destruction of our team.

Davidson spread his hands: "What do I want you to do if I have money? Since you can win the championship, you have the ability to renew your contract. Otherwise, go home and take your children and don't embarrass me here."

Dumas was helpless. Although he had known this would be the case, he had always had fantasies, hoping that Li Ang's performance would change Davidson's mind.

But with Davidson's current mentality, it is really impossible for him to give a player a maximum salary of five or six years.

After all, he didn't know whether he was still there five or six years later.

Then he kicks his feet and his wife and children sell the team, and they will lose all the green US Daole.

Unless the old capitalists really love it, they will not do such a loss-making business casually.

Those who do business at a loss are still called old capitalists?

And Davidson also said that although Li Ang is an FMVP, this does not mean that he is a real superstar.

In his opinion, it was not Li Ang who asked the Pistons to win the championship, but Pistons who asked the Pistons to win the championship.

As a team-type team, everyone is indispensable.

Without Big Ben's defense, there is no Bilups' tied three-pointer, and there is no Prince's century-long pursuit.

Can Li Ang win the championship?

If Li Ang sets a precedent, everyone from the Pistons and Five Tigers will come to him for maximum salary in the future, can he stand it?

Not only did Li Ang have no maximum salary, but one of the Pistons' Five Tigers is counted as one, and Davidson can't give them a maximum salary.

To be honest, Davidson felt that he had made a profit and was satisfied to win a championship.

Davidson is not particularly eager for two consecutive championships and dynasties.

After the first day of negotiations broke down, Li Ang returned home and found that Carolina had prepared a table of dishes to celebrate Li Ang's first maximum salary contract in her career.

Li Ang looked at the table full of food and smiled bitterly.

This fairy tale experience in this season made him think too well about the NBA.

Nothing is that simple to negotiate for renewal.

A boss like Cuban who forces you to raise your salary is just an isolated case after all.

What's more, does Cuban love basketball? No, he loves Nowitzki.

If you change someone, Cuban will not be able to treat him like this.

In order to put pressure on the Pistons, Butterstern decided to release the news that the contract renewal negotiations were deadlocked.

Because of this, the team that asked Lao Li to talk about the matchmaking will come over the hurdle.

This will let the piston know what a handsome young man in all corners of the world is to put pressure on the piston.

Li Ang also agreed to the plan.

So, the news that Li Ang might leave spread like this.

As soon as the news spread, there were naturally all kinds of rumors.
