On the second day after the lottery ceremony, Bill Duffy approached Chen Mo to discuss about trial training.
This is the team owned by the top ten draft picks listed by Bill Duffy, and it is also the target of Chen Mo's main trial training.
Of course, some of these teams can already be crossed out.
Bill Duffy said without hesitation: "Forget about Cleveland, I guess they won't try out other players."
Yes, in order to show sincerity to James, Cleveland will probably give up contact with other high draft players.
As for James, he will probably give up trying out other teams and only try out the Cavaliers.
For a moment, it seemed that Chen Mo felt that James and the Cavaliers were really a match made in heaven.
James should and must stay in the Cavaliers for life, stay in his hometown, and create a legend of one person for one life and one city.
Unfortunately, Chen Mo knew that this was impossible.
"Forget it with Detroit. If they send out a tryout invitation, if you can, say no."
"Are you sure?" Bill Duffy hesitated. As an agent, he had to clarify the question.
"You really want to give up the second place and the salary?"
Of course, sure, it's not that he doesn't know how Milicic was cheated by Larry Brown, and how could he seek death?
"Of course, Bill, the damage is immediate and we need to take a longer view.
You know, Larry Brown is good at defense, which I'm not good at, and the three-pointer, Larry Brown doesn't like it very much.
Moreover, Detroit has already reached the Eastern Conference Finals. Regardless of whether they win or lose, their goal next year must be the championship, and rookies will not have many opportunities. "
Bill Duffy nodded, agreeing with Chen Mo's statement. It is indeed a big problem that it is not suitable for the coach's tactics.
Moreover, as Chen Mo said, the goal of the Pistons is the championship, how can they have time to train new players?
As for rookies, what they need most is playing time.
What's more, on the front line, the Pistons already have Prince and Hamilton, and Chen Mo has no advantage in competition.
Well, if there is another coach, Chen Mo is still quite confident to compete for the starting position.
Chen Mo is good at off the ball, and his shooting range is farther than that of Hamilton, which can open up more space.
Although one-on-one defense was not as good as Prince's, Chen Mo's defense was better than Prince's.
It's a pity that the coach is Larry Brown, and Chen Mo really has no confidence in this fake coach.
The Denver Nuggets are not bad. This is a bad team last year, just suitable for newcomers to upgrade.
The Toronto Raptors are almost there. After all, Carter is still there, and the team must play around him. As a rookie, there will not be too many opportunities.
What's more, Toronto in the north is really not a good football market, and it is difficult to attract capable players to join.
The Miami Heat are good, the lineup is relatively good, Eddie Jones is getting old, and the team needs a new core.
And last year's Caron Butler and Grant were pretty good, and the team also has salary space to introduce strong support.
More importantly, the coach of the Miami Heat, the magician Riley, is the core competitiveness of the Heat.
As for the Clippers, this team is also quite fascinating.
With Corey Maggette, Elton Brand, and Quentin Richardson, two averaging 20+ per game, and one averaging 17+ per game, the team's record is getting worse year after year.
"Okay, I will contact these teams and arrange a trial for you as soon as possible."
In the end, Chen Mo and Bill Duffy reached an agreement, that is to focus on the Nuggets, Raptors and Heat.
As for the Clippers, there are other teams, such as the Bulls, who can also participate in trial training, which can be regarded as a guarantee.
On May 5, Bill Duffy had arranged for the first trial training, and the destination was the Denver Nuggets.
What's more interesting is that just yesterday, Anthony had just finished his trial training, and the two just passed by.
"Hello, Bill!"
"Chen, nice to meet you."
In the Nuggets training hall, Chen Mo met the Nuggets general manager Kiki Van der Weig, a former All-Star player.
"Hello, Chen."
Behind Vandeweghe is the team's head coach Michael Cooper.
Well, this is just a manager in the transitional stage of the team, commonly known as being used to take the blame.
Next year, or the year after, George Karl will take over the Denver Nuggets, and by then, Michael Cooper will be an assistant coach.
……
As veterans of the NBA, Bill Duffy and Van der Weghe are fairly familiar with each other. They chatted for a while before speaking.
"Shall we start the trial training first?"
"No problem at all!"
The trial training is actually very simple, especially now, there is no joint trial training, and the team is not willing to find a group of people to practice together.
Therefore, Chen Mo's trial training did not include actual combat, but some basic physical tests and technical tests.
Looking at Chen Mo's height, wingspan, speed and other statistics, Vandeweghe was a little envious.
To be honest, this static talent is definitely the top static talent.
What's more, Chen Mo's speed is not slow, and his bounce is not too bad.
In general, apart from the lack of strength, in terms of talent alone, he is no worse than Anthony who tried out yesterday.
But even in the confrontation that has always been criticized by others, Chen Mo also completed 3 bench presses, which is not particularly bad.
After nearly 2 hours, Chen Mo completed the trial training of all the items, and then the two parties parted happily.
"Michael, what do you think?"
how can i seeI'm the coach who took the blame for his bad season. Does my opinion matter?
Michael Cooper glanced at Vandeweghe calmly, and then said.
"Both are very good players, both of them have proved themselves in the NCAA finals.
However, the difference is that Anthony does not need to adapt to the system, and Chen, without UCLA's tactical play, will he be affected? "
"So, you are more optimistic about Cameron?"
"No, if Chen doesn't grow, he's at least a good shooter who can space the floor.
At the same time, Chen is a very good defense player. Now that his confrontation has come up, he can become a qualified defender.
As for Cameron, he doesn't care much about defense, and he is too obsessed with offense to share the ball. "
Well, it's the same as saying it without saying it.
The advantages and disadvantages of the two are very obvious, but the problem is, it is because both of them are very good that they are entangled!
After leaving the Nuggets training hall, Bill Duffy was in a good mood: "Chen, Vandeweghe is very optimistic about you."
Chen Mo nodded: "Then will they choose me?"
"I don't know, maybe they don't know themselves, before the draft, they were not sure who they would pick.
Even if he is selected, he doesn't know if he will be traded in the next moment.
So, Chen, you have to be more cautious. Even if you are selected, you have to wait and take a look. "
There is indeed such a thing in the draft. Players are selected, and then they praise the team, what is the best team, and the team that suits them best.
Then the next moment, it was traded.
