Annual salary of 15 million, what does this mean?

In the NBA in 2014, the highest annual salary was Clippers head coach Doug Rivers, whose annual salary was $7 million, followed by Spurs head coach Greg Popovich's annual salary of $6.5 million.

Wang Xiao renewed his contract with the Wizards a year ago. Due to his excellent record and championship win, the annual salary for renewal was US$6 million, ranking third among coaches.

However, Wang Xiao had no intention of signing a long contract at that time, and the Wizards seemed unwilling to give a contract that was too long, so the new contract was only 2 years, which is this summer.

This is one of the reasons why Wesley is interested in ideas.

Although 15 million is nothing among players, it is a super high salary that is unique in the history of NBA coaching.

When he heard Wesley say that his annual salary was 15 million, to be honest, Wang Xiao couldn't help but jump in his heart.

Rich people are still awesome!

Even though he is not very persistent in pursuing money, his annual salary of 15 million US dollars is still attractive. After all, that is hundreds of millions of RMB a year!

After a moment of silence, Wang Xiao laughed.

"Mr. Wesley, you have given very generous conditions, but it is not a good time to discuss this issue. My team is still working hard for the finals. I don't want anything to interfere with my attention before leading the team to defend the title."

Although Wang Xiao did not directly refuse, his words also expressed the general meaning.

Wesley looked a little disappointed on his face, while Malorie stared at Wang Xiao with a little annoyance on her face.

In Malori's opinion, it would be a great thing if Wang Xiao could come to the Bucks as well, but Wang Xiao actually rejected his father's invitation.

This made her feel very disappointed. She thought that with her relationship with Wang Xiao, the other party would agree immediately.

"Of course, I will consider this issue carefully after the finals." Seeing Malorie's expression, Wang Xiao quickly said: "Congratulations again on getting the No. 1 pick. Malorie is so lucky. Do the Bucks have any opinions on the No. 1 pick this year?"

As the head coach of another team, asking this sentence was originally an unreasonable thing, and there was a suspicion of exploring the secrets of other teams.

But when Wang Xiao asked this, Wesley was delighted.

Wang Xiao's vision is famously fierce in the league, and few players he selected cannot make a fortune.

He invited Wang Xiao to dinner, on the one hand, he wanted to poach people, and on the other hand, he also had such thoughts.

"At present, we have initially taken a fancy to the University of Kansas small forward Andrew Wiggins, and I don't know what you think of him, Wang."

Andrew Wiggins is obviously the safest choice. As the most prestigious rookie in 2014, as the number one high school student in the United States last year, Andrew Wiggins averaged 17 points and 5.9 rebounds per game in his first season in the NCAA, setting a record for a first-year Kansas player, and was also selected as the 12th League's Rookie of the Year, and successfully selected into the 12th League's first team.

Looking at the entire NCAA, except for the three Chinese at Harvard who are so strong that they are doubtful about their lives, only a few of them have the strength and reputation that can be compared with Wiggins.

“Wigkins is indeed a good choice.”

Wang Xiao nodded.

In another time and space, Wiggins was selected by the Cavaliers and then traded to the Timberwolves as chips for Kevin Love. In the Timberwolves, Wiggins quickly grew into an excellent scorer with 20+ points, but the Timberwolves still ranked at the bottom of the season for many years. Even if they later selected No. 1 pick, Towns, were still the same. It was not until they got Jimmy Butler that they finally broke the nightmare and returned to the playoffs.

If Jimmy Butler couldn't hold on for even a season, he couldn't stand the scattered and bad atmosphere in the Timberwolves locker room. He snorted and said the classic one - "I'm not the most talented person on the team. Who is the most talented player? It's Towns. Who is the most favored player? It's Wiggins. Who is the hardest player? It's me!!"

It is precisely because of this that Wiggins' upper limit is limited. Even if he is a scorer who contributes 20+ per game, he is not a player worthy of deliberate pursuit.

"However, I think since the Bucks have Kenyani Antetokounmpo on the front line, there is no need to choose another front line."

Wang Xiao said lightly: "Kenyani has a very outstanding talent. He is fully qualified to work on the front line and can even do very, very well."

"Wang, what do you mean?"

Wesley couldn't help but feel moved.

He did not doubt Wang Xiao's purpose. The Bucks had no possibility of competing with the Wizards at all. The Wizards did not have a draft pick in the front round this season. It would be meaningless to fool him. Moreover, with Malorie's relationship, it is unlikely to be very good.

"I think Joel Embiid is very good."

Wang Xiao said.

"Joel Embiid?"

As one of the limited big men in this class, Embiid has indeed attracted the attention of many people, and his draft pick prediction has always been within the top five, and he may even become the No. 1 pick.

But since Embiid and Wiggins are on the same team, most of the light is still covered up by Wiggins.

"Is it really OK for a big man with a technical style like Embiid?"

Embiid is not a traditional center. He has comprehensive skills and can be both inside and outside. But for this reason, many scouts are not particularly optimistic about Embiid. After all, the current league is still engraved with the shadow of the traditional center in the past.

In their opinion, a tall and strong center forward who is proficient in inside offense is the king. Although a center forward like Embiid has a good level of offense, many people still reserve whether they can adapt to the NBA with strong physical strength.

Although Wesley also read the NBA and knows a little bit of the ball, his professionalism is still much worse than that of scouts, so he is very convinced of the Bucks' scout report.

But in the entire league, can a scout have the vision of comparable to Wang Xiao?

"So that's the case, I will consider your opinion!"

Wesley said with a smile.

He didn't say he would definitely choose Embiid, because as a successful businessman, he was used to not saying anything completely, and he would always leave some room for maneuver.

"In addition, in addition to Embiid, I suggest you choose another player with the second round draft pick."

"Nicola Jokic."

Nikola Jokic?

Hearing this name, Wesley was inevitably stunned.

He had never heard of the name.

"Yes, he is a professional basketball player from Serbia and plays as a center."

Wang Xiao said with a smile.

Wesley couldn't help but be stunned again.
