According to domestic media sources, when the CBA draft is about to begin, there is a draft pick trading plan again, and last season, Ningbo Fubon traded the champion to Beijing Holdings. It is the Sichuan team that participated in the transaction this time, and the news shows that Sichuan will trade their No. 4 pick to Zhejiang Guangsha, and Zhejiang Guangsha will loan the inside big man Li Jinxiao to the Sichuan team.
For the operation of the Sichuan team, the outside world has mixed reviews, some people think that the operation of the Sichuan team is meaningless, a team that wants to rebuild, should have chosen to use the draft, select some young players for training, what is the Sichuan team doing? Last season, I wasted a list of eye signs, and I didn't choose a player like Zou Yang, so I had to choose a small defender Fang Jiachen, who seemed to have a personality, and was slapped in the face. With the signing being traded out this season, when will the loan player be able to rebuild? It's all about getting on business.
Regardless of what fans think of the Sichuan team, the deal is significant for Guangsha as it is part of their contract renewal strategy this season and part of the team's team-building plan. There are two main reasons for this.
The first is that the contracts of Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao, the third young men of Guangsha, have expired this season, and it is not easy to renew the contract, because the players have the idea of moving, and at the same time, Guangsha is also a little shy in terms of funds. Sun Minghui has said many times before that he wants to leave, and there are also scandals with Sun Minghui from many teams. Zhao Yanhao definitely does not have a contract with a maximum salary, and it will definitely take some effort to stay in Zhao Yanhao, and the media has broken the news that Zhao Yanhao has contact with Beijing BAIC. As a result, Guangsha encountered a passive situation of asking for a supermarket, and renewing the contract became the first priority.
Sun Minghui said that the top salary lock basically will not make other choices, Zhao Yanhao definitely does not have a top salary, but if you want to keep you, you have to go to the negotiating table with competitors. So now Guangsha's first choice must be to keep Sun Minghui first, how to keep it depends on Guangsha's team building strategy, or the original inaction operation, Sun Minghui will definitely not stay.
This is the second reason, the reason why Zhejiang Guangsha traded draft picks upwards, in fact, is one purpose, that is, to hope to select a more reliable guard player, so as to make up for Guangsha's shortcomings in this position, Guangsha has the experience of breaking into the finals, but due to the shortcomings of the team's lineup, coupled with the amateur level of the team's foreign aid. In the end, it all fell short.
In the past few seasons, Guangsha has been the role of tragic heroes, and many people are optimistic about it before the start of the season, and the core players are gradually maturing, and they are the favorites to win the championship. But by the end of the season, they were riddled with injuries. There have even been cases where three young people were injured at the same time, and this season, in desperation, even Sun Minghui had to play with an injury. As a result, Guangdong Hongyuan was still blocked out of the top four.
The thickness of the lineup is not enough, and the main lineup is always overdrawn in advance, which is the current dilemma faced by Guangsha, and it is also a reason why Sun Minghui wants to leave. That's why Guangsha went to great lengths to trade draft picks, which to put it bluntly was to show determination to Sun Minghui. This is a way to retain Sun Minghui, and it is also the team's determination to keep the core team and fight again. For a team that does not have the funds to bring in high-level domestic reinforcements, this should be considered a limit operation.
Since Sun Minghui is retained in this way, if Sun Minghui is successfully retained in the end, will Sun Minghui also retain Zhao Yanhao? If Guangsha wants to truly achieve the goal of winning the championship, the stability of the core lineup is actually very important, if the original combination of three young people is dismantled, it may not have much impact on combat power, after all, Zhao Yanhao was also marginalized by Wang Bo. But from the perspective of the overall stability of the team, keeping Zhao Yanhao is actually an attitude and shows the team's determination next season. This is completely different from the impact of sending out, and this is actually an explanation to Hu Jinqiu and Sun Minghui. Treating the team's core players is not a one-shot deal.
