I’m Really Playing Basketball

The 2002 NBA Draft was a draft with frequent accidents.

There are many, many incomprehensible draft choices in this draft.

For example, the Heat chose Yao Ming instead of Jay Williams, whom they have always claimed to need.

Another example is that the Golden State Warriors chose Wade, a guard they didn't need at all.

The New York Knicks chose Nene, the Cavaliers chose Chen Xiao, and so on.

Judging from the selection of these drafts, after the draft, there must be a transaction.

In fact, during the draft, Fagan told Chen Xiao to let him wait patiently, and he would be traded.

After the draft was over, Chen Xiao immediately received the news that he was traded to the Nets by the Cavaliers.

Cleveland Cavaliers Send Rookie Chen Xiao, Veteran Tyron Hill

New Jersey Nets send star small forward Keith Van Horn and 2003 unprotected first-round pick

The 76ers sent out the garbage contract Matt Gade and the unprotected first-round pick in 2003 and the top five protected picks in the first round in 2005.

The Cleveland Cavaliers got an unprotected 2003 first-round pick from the Nets, a 2003 first-round pick from the 76ers, a top-five protected first-round pick in 2005, and a garbage contract Matt Gade.

The Nets get Chen Xiao and veteran Tyron Hill.

The 76ers got the star small forward Keith Van Horn they have been desperately needing.

The three-way trade between the Nets, 76ers and Cavaliers quickly became the focus of the entire NBA.

After all, both the 76ers and the Nets are powerful in the league.

These two teams are the teams that have reached the finals on behalf of the Eastern Conference in the past two years.

In particular, the Nets are the representative team in the Eastern Conference that just lost the Finals.

Although they lost in the finals, the Nets are still the focus of the entire league and are the favorites to enter the finals next season.

Keith Van Horn was the third leader of the Nets last season and one of the biggest contributors to helping the Nets reach the Finals.

Giving such a player at the level of the team's main player to his direct competitor is only in exchange for a rookie full of unknowns and a veteran who has no combat effectiveness, and also sent his own draft pick. , no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel a little inappropriate.

"The Nets made a crazy decision because of their poor mid-range shooting in the Finals!"

"Don't the Nets know that without Keith Van Horn, they can't even make it to the Finals? Last season, Keith Van Horn beat the Pacers and sent the Nets to the Finals! "

"This deal is a huge gamble. The Nets paid the biggest price. Congratulations to the 76ers for getting the strongest addition, and the Cavaliers got the future!"

In the NBA, because of the Nets and the 76ers, the Cavaliers' three-way deal has caused a lot of noise.

As the central figures of this transaction, Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this transaction happen.

Cavaliers, he is very strange, although he does not reject him, but I don't know if this team needs him like the Nets.

To a team that needs him, this is the player's best choice.

And Keith Van Horn, who was traded by the Nets, looked shocked and incredible.

He never thought that he would be sent out by the team just like this, in exchange for the 'chair man' whom he despises.

When he went to try out Chen Xiao with the team, Keith Van Horn never imagined that he would be the bargaining chip to trade Chen Xiao.

As shocking as it is, this is the NBA.

The general manager of the Nets, Rod Thorn, one of the two super general managers in the NBA, was relieved and full of apprehension after the transaction was made.

For the Nets, this is indeed a gamble.

The future is unknown, and the gamble is extremely risky.

No one wants to take such a gamble if they can.

But the Nets want a championship, he can only do this!

Those thoughts aside, after the deal was done, Rod Thorn called John Paxson, now the Bulls' executive vice president and legendary role player for the Bulls.

"John, thank you for your help this time."

"Mr. Thord, this is what I should, and Jim is very satisfied with this transaction."

On the other end of the phone, facing Rodthorne's gratitude, John Paxson was very respectful.

Jim Paxson is the older brother of John Paxson, who is now the general manager of the Cavaliers. The two brothers have a very good relationship.

If Jerry West is the "hands-off" of the NBA's Lakers, then Rod Thorne is the "hands-off" of the NBA's "Bulls".

Of course, even though he is the leader of the "Bulls" family in the alliance, Rodthorne can't do whatever he wants.

If Jim Paxson and the Cavaliers are not satisfied, there is no way to facilitate this deal.

This transaction can be completed, in addition to Rod Thorne's connections, more importantly, the other two parties to this transaction are satisfied.

The Cavaliers got their most desired future draft pick, and as a high school student became more and more powerful, the Cavaliers were saving various draft picks.

This year's unnecessary No. 7 pick in the first round was exchanged for three first-round picks in the next two years.

Great deal.

The 76ers also got the star small forward they wanted most, and they didn't even have to send out the core center center Mutombo of their own team.

Therefore, for this three-way deal, the 76ers and the president of the 76ers, Billy King, are the most highly rated.

As a powerful team, these two draft picks of the 76ers are indeed worthless.

Billy King was very satisfied with this.

"A bunch of useless draft picks are exchanged for a cornerstone of the team. It's a good deal!"

Billy King was very satisfied with the praising of those experts on TV.

He's not a GM who likes picks.

He prefers the present to the future!

Being traded by the Cavaliers, Chen Xiao was sent to the Nets without even reporting to the Cavaliers.

And his good friend Wade and Chen Xiao are in the same situation.

Wade did not report to the Golden State Warriors, but was sent to the Miami Heat by the Golden State Warriors.

In Wade's trade, the Golden State Warriors sent Wade and sent his own junk contract Chris Mills

The Miami Heat sent the team's perimeter star player, former Lakers star Eddie Jones and a top-five protected first-round pick in 2003.

The Memphis Grizzlies sent the team's No. 5 pick Dunleavy Jr., and the retiring veteran Nick Anderson

Miami Heat get Wade, Chris Mills.

Golden State got veteran Nick Anderson, Dunleavy Jr., and the Heat's top-five-protected first-round pick in 2003.

The Memphis Grizzlies got the team's rookie general manager Jerry West's direct player Eddie Jones when he was with the Lakers.

Send an All-Star player, eat a junk contract, and add a lottery pick next year in exchange for Wade.

The Heat paid a lot this time.

Whether Wade can grow to the height of Eddie Jones in the future is still hard to say.

Although Wade and Jay Williams were hyped fiercely in the NCAA, is it so easy to become an NBA All-Star?

What's more, after Mourning was injured, Eddie Jones was already the nominal boss of the Heat.

However, for Pat Riley, it cost such a big price this time, costing the team's boss, the team's future draft picks, and the favor with Jerry West in exchange for the team they have been chasing for a whole year. Wade, Pat Riley himself is still very satisfied.

There is no way, with a competitor like the Bulls, it is really impossible not to bleed too much.

In short, Pat Riley is very satisfied with the results this time.

"Thank you for this deal, Jerry."

"Thank you, no need, we always get what we need."

"Hahahaha, that's right, I wish you a happy stay in Memphis."

After Pat Riley finished speaking with a smile, he hung up the phone.

The Grizzlies are willing to join the deal, not just the friendship between Pat Riley and Jerry West.

The Grizzlies really need a star wing like Eddie Jones now, and Jerry West really needs to have his own direct line in the team, which makes it easier to work.

So, for the Grizzlies and Jerry West, the Heat have Eddie Jones, the star player they most need.

And the price of getting Eddie Jones is only the team's fifth pick this year, which is a good deal.

Eddie Jones, Battier, Gasol, White Chocolate...

The Grizzlies will be instantly competitive in the West next season.

Wade's deal, like Chen Xiao's deal, is also a deal that all three parties are currently very satisfied with.

Although there is also a lot of controversy in public opinion.

Wade's deal, where is the controversy in public opinion?

Of course, it is not who suffers and who takes advantage.

but...

"The Miami Heat traded for Wade. In other words, the Miami Heat don't need Jay Williams anymore. The Miami Heat drafted Yao Ming with the No. 1 pick, not to rob the Rockets, but to keep it for themselves!"

After Pat Riley traded Wade from the Warriors, the entire NBA, including David Stern, was dumbfounded.

What about holding hands and looking at tears?

What about life after life?

What about the agreed best player who lost the Finals?

What about the boss alumni?

Especially David Stern. After the Heat completed the Wade deal, David Stern felt that his "kindness" seemed to be put aside by Pat Riley.

"These guys!"

David Stern calls Pat Riley on 'The Melancholy'

Before Wade's deal was completed, the Rockets have always insisted that the Heat chose Yao Ming to rob them.

The Rockets have already made preparations for the Heat to be "robbed if they fail to be robbed", and they will fight against the Heat and the greedy Pat Riley.

The Rockets, who were waiting for the Heat and Pat Riley to make a robbery request, never expected that Pat Riley would directly trade Wade away.

No reason at all to them!

For a moment, the rocket was really confused, panicked, and stupid.

The Heat's deal for Wade does not know how many people no longer believe that there is such a thing as "love" in the NBA.

On June 29, 2002, just three days after the draft, the Miami Heat and the Eastern Club reached an agreement on Yao Ming's coming to the NBA.

The Miami Heat agreed to all the requirements that the Rockets agreed to.

With a compensation of 13 million US dollars, a top-level foreign aid, and a first-class basketball school will be built in Shanghai.

When the Heat announced the agreement reached with the Eastern Club, the entire NBA seemed to be crazy.

"Pau Gasol's compensation is only 1 million U.S. dollars. How can this Chinese get 13 million U.S. dollars in compensation?!"

The latter two requirements are still secondary, and the key is the first requirement.

This is really incredible.

You know, the head player of the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant, will not have a salary of 13 million US dollars next season.

In the United States, many people think that Pat Riley and the Heat are crazy.

Dare to accept such a plate.

Pat Riley, who has always been shrewd, suddenly became stupid.

But in China, I saw the Basketball Association, the Heat, and the Eastern Club reach an agreement.

Yao Ming really almost cried.

In order to be able to come to the NBA, how much effort he has put in.

Although the final destination is not the Houston Rockets he always thought, but he eventually entered the NBA.

"Yao, congratulations, you will become a new NBA legend."

Yao Ming was thrilled to receive the Heat jersey from Pat Riley.

This is Pat Riley!

How could Pat Riley's status in the basketball world be comparable to that of Dawson.

Even the top executives of the Eastern Club and the officials of the Basketball Association were not as "tall" when they faced Pat Riley when they faced the Rockets and Dawson.

Of course, what is needed is naturally indispensable.

Yao Ming, the first No. 1 pick in the NBA draft in the Chinese basketball world, was brought into the NBA by Pat Riley amid the confusion of the entire NBA.

At this time, Chen Xiao, Wade, Braxon, Dina, and Ron Howard saw the news and this photo on TV and newspaper news.

"I haven't seen Pat Riley yet."

Throwing the newspaper in his hand aside, Wade pouted.

Wade has actually accepted the reality of coming to the Heat.

Although he didn't go to the dream bull, he was very happy to grab Jay Williams's candy.

Therefore, his complaint just now was more of a joke.

Because of Chen Xiao, he didn't reject working with another Chinese.

"Maybe this is another great start!"

Wade is full of expectations.

At this time, the players at Marquette University are not only Wade, but he is full of expectations for his future.

The same goes for others.

Everyone's home is good.

Ron Howard went to the Magic, and the Magic has Grant Hill, Ron Howard's idol.

Diener went to the Kings, a team with a similar style to him.

Braxon went to the Lakers, this is a dynasty team, an NBA noble team!

It can be said that everyone has gained a lot from this draft.

And Chen Xiao gained a lot more than the others.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully participating in the NBA draft and being selected with the seventh overall pick in the first round. After completing the achievement 'Lottery Player', the host will be rewarded with 1 cm in height and wingspan, 3 career points, and 3,000 career points."

"Ding, the host was traded in the NBA for the first time. Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement 'Wandering'. The host will be rewarded with 1 career point and a career value of 200."

"Ding, the main task of the system: Join an NBA team and start an NBA career. Task reward: Receive rewards based on the overall strength and draft pick of the basketball team you join."

"Ding, the host successfully joined the NBA team New Jersey Nets as the No. 7 pick in the lottery. The overall strength evaluation of the New Jersey Nets: A-level (top NBA team), and the completion of the host's mission: A-level."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the A-level main task, rewarding career value of 10,000."

After Chen Xiao was selected in the NBA and traded to the Nets, Chen Xiao's system swiped a small screen again.
