Build a Dream Dynasty

The transaction negotiations continued to deepen. In theory, Jiang Mingliang had already put out all the bargaining chips he could. George and Leonard are not for sale. To put it bluntly, if Jiang Mingliang is willing to sell George, he doesn't need to use Thunder as a third party, just trade with the Warriors directly. Although Fernandez does not have the right to veto the transaction, the Nets gave him some promises before he was willing to stay in the NBA. In this case, it would be a shame to trade him. Similarly, Korver also got some promises from Jiang Mingliang. He didn't take the initiative to ask to leave the team, and the Nets were not easy to trade him. West is a freelance general, and Jeremy Lin has important strategic significance in business development. . . . . .

The details are constantly being finalized. It seems that this deal is close to taking shape, and only a few details are left. Before the deal is concluded, the draft conference that changed the fate of many teams in the league's 30 teams was held in Madison, New York. Square conducts.

After Stern read out the long opening remarks as usual, the draft began.

The Hornets selected Anthony Davis with the No. 1 pick. There is nothing wrong with this choice. Thanks to the suspension during the offseason of last season, many high-quality rookies postponed their participation in the draft until this year. The quality has been supported, but even so, Anthony Davis is still the only one among the 12 rookies, just like Oden in 2007, it is impossible to have any surprises.

The draft template is Kevin Garnett. Anthony Davis is amazingly talented. He has a stronger body than Garnett. He can dominate the inside on both offense and defense. In this era of lack of strong insiders, it is obviously an excellent choice.

Joe continued his mine-clearing contribution, rejected the Thunder's request from Harden to change to the second pick, and chose Gilchrist with Gerald Wallace as the draft template. Excellent physical talent, tall and long arms at the small forward position, outstanding athletic ability, comparable to Durant, at worst, can also strengthen the team's rotten perimeter defense, the idea of ​​​​Joe's main pick is actually no problem, It is this vision. . . . . . .

The Wizards with the third pick made the safest choice, Bill. With comprehensive offensive skills, especially excellent shooting skills, Bill's lower limit can be said to be the highest among rookies this year. Physical fitness is not the best in the NBA, but it will not become a weakness.

The Cavaliers chose the father of Waiters, who will be strong in his life. He is the exact opposite of Bill. Bill has comprehensive skills, excellent shooting, and not so outstanding physical condition. Waiters has superb physical fitness, strong breakthrough ability, and other abilities. Not so reliable, He was also an out-and-out lone wolf in college. Considering that Irving is already a point guard who is better at personal offense than organizing the whole team, once Waiters joins the team, what kind of chemical reaction he will have with Irving is very important. unpredictable.

The Kings continued their honey operation. With Cousins, Thompson, and Landry already in the team, they selected short power forward Thomas Robinson. This brain circuit is really incomprehensible.

The Trail Blazers with the sixth pick chose Lillard, an older point guard. The Blazers have a relatively complete lineup, but the biggest flaw lies in the position of point guard. Lillard is the best point guard in this draft. If you fall into this position again, there is nothing to say.

The Raptors chose Terrence Ross. This team started with Carter and really has the habit of collecting dunks. Moon and DeRozan are both serious slam dunk shooters, and the same goes for Rose, who was chosen this year, with very good physical fitness.

When it was the Warriors' turn to make a choice, Myers unexpectedly discovered that the two rookies predicted to be in the top five, Drummond and Barnes, fell out of the top seven together. There is also a shortage of insiders. . . . . .

There is no doubt that Drummond has better potential, and in terms of position, good insiders are more scarce than wings. However, after a little bit of entanglement, Myers still chose Barnes. The reason is very simple. Barnes can provide better immediate combat power, while Drummond is still too rough now, and it will take time to develop.

After being sure to exchange for Harden, the Warriors' hopes of keeping Deron have greatly increased. With Barnes, this outside line can make a difference!

The Warriors picked Barnes away, and the Pistons behind them were also worrying about happiness. With Monroe already in the paint, they had already reached an agreement with Josh Smith. The paint was strong enough, but Drummond This insider with unlimited potential was on his lips, and he was a little sorry for not taking him away. After some entanglement, the Pistons chose Drummond in line with the principle of "fat water does not flow to outsiders".

The rookies in the small green room slowly took their positions, and Jiang Mingliang also started to operate, trying to get a draft pick at the end of the first round or the beginning of the second round. Drummond Green, however, when everything was developing towards Jiang Mingliang's plan Suddenly, an unexpected situation disrupted his deployment.

A trade notice was posted on the NBA official website. The Oklahoma City Thunder reached a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, sending James Harden and Cole Aldridge to get Holiday. A first-round pick and a first-round swap between the two teams in 2013.

"!!!" Jiang Mingliang, Stevens, and West looked at each other. The expressions of the three were equally shocked. No one thought that the Thunder would suddenly change their minds and reach a deal with the 76ers!

"Presti's move is a bit despicable!" Jiang Mingliang picked up the cup on the coffee table in front of him, took a sip of water, and was thinking hard about it.

Essentially speaking, the chips given by the 76ers may not be much better than those given by the Rockets. With the strength of the 76ers and Harden, it is a very conservative estimate to keep eight and six in the Eastern Conference. In the case of paying for the end of the first round, the three draft picks obtained are mostly between 14 and 20. Compared with the pre-draft Raptors pick sent by the Rockets, this bargaining chip has a high probability of being a lottery pick. It is so cheap. Although Holiday is a combo player, he also has certain training value, but he and Harden are in the same year. In other words, the pressure on the Thunder to renew the contract has not decreased, but the Thunder have the confidence to drag Holiday until the contract expires.

The key problem is that the 76ers are an Eastern team, and the threat to the Thunder is not that great! Presti should have taken a fancy to this and made this decision.

"The Warriors should be more anxious than us right now. If they can't get a good player, Deron Williams will probably leave the team. We just missed an opportunity to reinforce, but the Warriors, they missed Del Mond!" West said regretfully.

West's words reminded Jiang Mingliang that the Warriors should be more anxious now. If Deron is lost, if Deron is determined to leave the team this summer, then the various trading operations of the Warriors in the past two years can really be written into the textbook as a negative teaching material!
