legendary point guard

David Stern on the stage glanced in the direction of the small green room. It was the future of the league and there was a real Chinese in it. Although Lin Sen was very popular in China, he was bigger than a real Chinese.

David Stern thinks it will still be a bit worse. Of course, this premise is that the Chinese young man can reach the expected height.

However, David Stern has also paid special attention to it before. If a team that is willing to train and give him a chance chooses him, he believes that there is no problem for that Chinese young man to become a starter for an ordinary team.

The fourteen future stars sitting in the small green room are anxiously waiting for the opportunity that may change their destiny. Among them, the Chinese Yi Jianlian is particularly eye-catching. In the previous trial training, he was unfortunate to be under the guidance of the vampire Danny Fagan.

Due to the operation, he got the indecent title of chair man.

Danny Fagan also became Dwight Howard's new agent in the middle of the past season. However, because he encouraged Dwight Howard many times, he so disgusted Howard that he signed a contract with Howard for less than five months.

Time has been delayed by Howard, and Dwight Howard will also join David Falk in the near future.

Danny Fagan, who was fired less than half a year later, became a joke in the industry. Now he and Yi Jianlian were sitting together and waiting.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Madison Square Garden. This is the venue for the 2007 NBA Draft. It's time to welcome outstanding young men every year. I think everyone is looking forward to it like me...

"

Pritchard, the general manager of the Portland Trail Blazers, couldn't wait to hand over his selection. After receiving it, the staff immediately walked out of the Trail Blazers' draft room and walked to the stage.

"Portland will definitely choose Greg Oden, but if we have this pick we will definitely choose Kevin Durant." Otis Smith said with a smile while looking at the TV screen.

"Of course, after all we have Dwight, and our small forward position is our weak point Kevin. That guy Durant can not only become a scorer but also has the potential to develop into a defensive specialist. Look at his long arms.

Horrible." Stan Van Gundy added.

Otis Smith shook his head: "Stan, Henin told me that he thinks Wilson Chandler is a good small forward with height, offense and defense. He is expected to be selected at the end of the first round, it is said

New York is very interested in him, and New York's pick is at No. 23, so I want to try and see."

At this time, David Sturt on the stage took the draft envelope handed over by the staff, looked up at the audience and opened the envelope with a smile: "The Portland Trail Blazers, who have the first overall pick in the 2007 draft.

The choice is..." David Stern deliberately lengthened his voice.

This made Greg Oden and Kevin Durant in the little green room nervous, although Durant knew that the Trail Blazers were far less interested in him than Oden.

On the other side of the room in Seattle, they are also looking forward to the Trail Blazers making another choice. If the Trail Blazers choose Durant, they will choose Oden and try their best to keep Lewis and Ray Allen.

Although this may be small, if the Trail Blazers really choose Durant, it means that the Sonics do not need to rebuild. However, the SuperSonics front office is as disappointed as Kevin Durant.

"Portland chose... Greg Oden from Ohio State. He was born on January 22, 1988. He is 7 feet tall and weighs 285 pounds. He plays center. He is a great young man. Let's go together.

Congratulations to him and congratulations to Portland. Greg and welcome to the NBA!"

Greg Oden, who was staying in the small green room, was heartbeating so fast. When he heard David Stern's voice, he immediately stood up excitedly, and his already old forehead looked even older.

After Oden hugged his parents and agent, he straightened his suit and walked to the stage. Kevin Durant also knew that he would go to Seattle as expected.

"The miracle still didn't happen. We chose Kevin Durant and promised Boston!" SuperSonics general manager Presti said helplessly. Choosing Durant means that he will not keep the Rashad he trained.

Lewis also meant that the team was completely on the road to rebuilding. In order to rebuild and to request Ray Allen's trade, Presti could only choose to trade to get more draft picks and potential players.

When Danny Ainge in the Celtics draft room heard David Stern's words, he knew that his idea was one step closer. At this time, the phone rang. Danny Ainge smiled when he answered the phone: "I

We must let the Green Army reappear!" Danny Ainge clenched his fist. "Conduct the transaction immediately!"

"Greg is really a good big guy, but we should still look at it rationally. After all, it is a college game before the draft and we have to throw away some of the scouts' words. Their words are often extremely exaggerated." Hoffman looked at it.

Auden, who delivered a speech on stage, said.

"I hope Portland has chosen the right person this time. As a former Portland player, even though they once hated me, I still hope they can complete the revival." Bill Walton shrugged and said, but soon he changed his subject.

Change, "Portland must change its team doctor if it wants to revive."

"Hey, Bill, do you still want to be sued?" Hoffman joked. Twenty years ago, Bill Walton had a quarrel with the team that he refused to play for a long time because he wanted the team to change its team doctor.

, and finally Bill Walton was sued by the Trail Blazers team doctor.

"Who cares? Everyone can see the facts, and this little guy Greg had a history of serious injuries in high school and college. We must pay attention to this." Bill Walton curled his lips and said.

At this time, David Stern also revealed the Seattle SuperSonics' choice.

"Seattle selected Kevin. This is as expected. This also means that Seattle will completely rebuild. According to previous rumors, Rashad is destined not to renew his contract and Allen is likely to be traded out." Bill.

.Wharton said.

Yi Jianlian in the Little Green Room was once the popular candidate for the No. 3 pick due to the media's exaggeration. The Chinese media on the other side of the ocean even vowed that he would become the second Nowitzki.

"The first two picks have been released. Next is the Atlanta Hawks. They actually lack a guard. Last year they missed Lin Sen. This year they should choose Oden's teammate Mike Conley according to the team's needs. But the Hawks have always shown poor performance before.

If you are interested in a big man, Arab League is likely to be selected." Zhang Lili said in the studio of Chaotingtai. And Chinese fans are also looking forward to it.

"Atlanta's choices are always surprising. They have accumulated a lot of forward players. They should choose Mike Conley, but everyone knows that they only love big men. This time they are likely to choose Yi and Al Horford in China.

And Joakim Noah." Hoffman said as he looked at David Stern who opened the envelope.

Wallace, the general manager of the Memphis Grizzlies' draft room, hopes that the Hawks will not select Horford. If the Hawks do not select Horford, they will select Horford to replace Pau Gasol. If they select Horford, they will pursue Milicic and select Mike Conley.

"The Atlanta Hawks chose Florida State's Al Horford. He was born on June 3, 1986. He is 6 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 245 pounds. He plays the role of center. Let us congratulate him!" David Stern

After the words were spoken, some were happy and some were depressed.

"Very good!" Danny Ainge is very satisfied with the result. He needs Jeff Green because Jeff Green is the one the Sonics want, while Yi Jianlian, Fagan and Grizzlies general manager Wallace are depressed

of.

"We choose Mike Conley. This time I will pursue Darko Milicic with all my strength. If I give him an important position and a contract, I don't believe he won't be interested." Wallace gritted his teeth and said.

And Danny Ainge couldn't wait to hand over the envelope: "pp, Boston needs you, and Allen's arrival is just the beginning, believe me!"

Paul Pierce looked at Danny Ainge: "Danny, I hope so."

"Look, Seattle and Boston have made a trade. An absolute big deal!" Stan Van Gundy's voice made Otis Smith, who was communicating with Isiah Thomas on the phone, turn his head.

"Danny, this guy! But what can two scorers do?" Otis Smith expressed his thoughts after being shocked.

"Wow, tonight's first trade is also the first big trade this year, and it's a super big deal. Allen still left Seattle. He will form a terrifying forward and defensive firepower with pp." Hoffman looked at the big deal.

The subtitles printed on the screen said.

"Alenga exchanged the 35th overall pick for Jeff Green, who was selected with the fifth overall pick, as well as Delonte West and former All-Star small forward Szczerbiak. Yes, this is a big deal.

Trade, but I think we should calm down. Denver's golden double gun is a realistic example. Two scorers may not necessarily bring qualitative changes to the team. Of course, pp and Allen's defense is much better than ai and Melo.

, but even so, it is not easy for the two of them to cross Detroit and Orlando." Bill Walton added.

At this time, Milwaukee announced its selection of Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian walked onto the stage with an expression known to people all over the world.

"Isiah, this is absolutely impossible. Kelana is definitely better than the last lottery pick, let alone the 46th pick. You are completely insincere." Otis Smith's voice became louder.

Although Isiah Thomas on the other end of the phone is not good as a head coach, he has an absolute eye for people. The Knicks will also be rebuilding this summer. Young players are what the Knicks need, and he is very optimistic about Wilson.

Chandler, but he didn't expect the Magic to ask for the draft pick in his hand.

Although he is optimistic about Wilson Chandler, Chandler is a rookie who has not experienced the NBA test after all, so he made a request to get Azubuike, and also made a request for the No. 46 pick. Obviously he wanted to

Killed Otis Smith, but he miscalculated.

"Isiah, if that's the case, forget it!" Otis Smith hung up the phone directly, "Unless my head is kicked by a donkey!"

"What's going on?" Stan Van Gundy asked, and Lin Sen also looked at Otis Smith.

"That idiot Isiah Thomas actually wants to use a broken No. 23 pick to get Kellanaga's No. 46 pick. I suspect his head was kicked by a donkey." Otis Smith sneered.

At this moment, the phone rang, and Otis Smith answered the phone angrily. He thought it was a call from Isiah Thomas: "How come you figured it out?"

Kings General Manager Petrie on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, wondering how Otis Smith knew what he was thinking.

"Why don't you say it? It's impossible to get Kelana. How about I give you Devin Brown and the 46th pick with the 23rd pick?" Otis Smith said rationally.

Hearing Otis Smith's words, Petrie breathed a sigh of relief, and Petrie laughed: "Old friend, who are you angry with? I am Petrie from the Sacramento Kings."

"Petrie?" Otis Smith covered the phone. "It's not Thomas but Petrie of the King. Why is he calling me? I have a hunch that we may have a deal."

When Otis Smith heard Petrie, one person immediately popped into his mind, and that person was Ron Artest.

He knew that Artest had been involved in trade rumors. The Miami Heat and Houston Rockets were both very interested in Artest. He had not thought about Artest before. Now Petrie took the initiative to contact him.

Tis Smith suddenly thought of it.

"My old friend, why do you have time to call me?" Otis Smith said with a smile.

"Otis, as a friend, of course I want what you think. I heard that you are interested in Vince Carter and Gerald Wallace. It seems that you want to strengthen the forwards and defenders."

"Yeah, there's no way I'm short of people. Are you here to take care of me, old friend?" Otis Smith's face was full of smiles.

"How do you feel Ron?"

Petrie's voice made Otis Smith want to swallow his saliva. If he wants both Vince Carter and Gerald Wallace, then Artest is undoubtedly more ideal.

Although Artest looks terrible off the court, there is absolutely no doubt about Artest's professionalism on the court. Although Artest's physical fitness is not as good as that of Gerald, Wallace and Carter, he is absolutely perfect defensively.

He is two levels higher than the other two, and Artest is not lacking in offensive ability. Although not as good as Carter, he is undoubtedly much better than Wallace.

What's more important is that even if Artest comes to the Magic, it won't affect Linsen's status. But if Carter comes, this will probably be different. Another advantage is that Artest's contract is not big, only 8 million.

This is much lower than the 15 million annual salary of Kirilenko, another player of the same level who is subject to trade rumors.

"Ron is very good. Which one of us do you like?" Otis Smith tried his best to control his tone. He didn't want to be passive.

Stan Van Gundy also heard it. A player like Artest is difficult to control, but he is definitely a good player. With Artest, he will definitely be of great help against teams like the Lakers and Cavaliers. Van Gundy will

Lin Sen's curiosity was aroused by the two men as he leaned his ears closer.

"I want to take back Hedo!"

"No, no. This won't work. Hido is our core player." Otis Smith immediately rejected Petrie's request.

"We took out the No. 10 pick Garroun in exchange for Hiduga Kelana Azubuike, Carlos Arroyo and your two second-round picks this year, next year's second-round and the first-round pick the year after that, or Card

Los Angeles replaced him with Devin Brown." Petrie's words stunned Otis Smith.

Otis Smith also estimated the price in his mind: "Petrie, I think I need to think about it and I will give you an answer as soon as possible." Otis Smith looked up at the big screen. At this time, David Stern

Win announced that the Charlotte Bobcats, who have the eighth pick, selected b. Wright.

"Okay, hurry up, you know we'll be here soon." After Petrie said, he hung up the phone. If Chicago didn't choose Joakim Noah, he would change the deal and not add the No. 10 pick. If Chicago did, then he would.

Send out lottery No. 10.

"He offered the No. 10 pick plus Ron in exchange for Hido, Kelana and Carlos. We have two this year, the second round next year and the first round the year after that." Otis Smith said solemnly.

"No. 10 pick? So far, last year's No. 1 pick, Joakim Noah, has not been selected yet. He is a good big man." Stan Van Gundy said immediately.

Although he is reluctant to part with Turkoglu, Joakim Noah will undoubtedly be a good addition to the team and can prevent Milicic from being poached by other teams.

And Otis Smith thought exactly the same, but at this time David Stern announced that Chicago Bulls Joakim Noah.

"Forget it, let's change a plan! Since they want to trade Ron, I think we can give it a try. There are not many opportunities." Otis Smith dialed Petrie's phone number.

"What are Otis thinking?" The No. 10 pick means little to him at this moment.

"We don't want the No. 10 pick," Otis Smith replied.

Petrie felt a little regretful, and then asked his assistant to write down the name of the big man Hawes, who was quite satisfactory to him and Adelman.

"Old friend, don't hang up the phone in a hurry. We don't want the No. 10 pick, but we want Ron, Kelana, Devin, Carlos, plus the second round next year and the first and second rounds the year after that? How about Kelana?

Although he is a rookie, he has already shown his strength. I think since you mentioned him, you also know his abilities. In addition, Devin and Carlos can also make up for the loss of Mike Bibby if he leaves the team."

Without waiting for Petrie to speak, Otis Smith continued: "I know you want to send Ron away, and he has a player option next season. Do you make sure that he can't jump out of the contract? If he jumps out of the contract, there will be nothing.

.And you also need to rebuild. Kelana is undoubtedly a good candidate. He and Kevin Martin will become a good partner. In addition, we can first sign Matt Barnes in the free market to join it. How about it?

"

Otis Smith's words made Petrie think. He wanted to trade Artest, just like Smith said, but he still wanted Turkoglu.

"Give me Hido and Azubuike, and I'll give you Ron and the first seven protected first-round picks next year." Petrie insisted, and the Kings are currently rebuilding. No accident, they will be last in the next season, so the draft picks will definitely be protected.

, it’s like exchanging one Artest for two.

Although Otis Smith is reluctant to part with Turkoglu as the second core, as the team grows in the future, Howard will slowly become another core besides Lin Sen, while Milicic will be the pivot.

, then Turkoglu, who has poor defense, is destined to slowly lose his original position.

"I'll think about it again and give you an answer as soon as possible." Otis Smith said in a deep voice.

"How do you say that?" Stan Van Gundy asked immediately.

"He still insists on Hido. In fact, I want to agree. Stan, Wood, what do you think? He wants Hido plus Kelana in exchange for Ron plus the protected first round of the top seven next year." Otis Smith looked at it.

Linsen and Van Gundy said.

Turkoglu is still recuperating from injury. The current transaction will undoubtedly be criticized by many people, and Azubuike is Linsen’s younger brother, so Otis Smith wants to ask for advice even if he wants to agree. If it is true

If he doesn't agree, he can only refuse.

Otis Smith said what he was thinking, and then said again: "If Hedo and Kelana are traded, then in addition to leaving Grant and Darko, we still have salary space to compete for Gerrard.

It is feasible to form a super defensive lineup, or to pursue Vince to form a luxury lineup. Even if that doesn't work, there are still practical players like Noccioni and Peterson, so I think we can agree to it."

Stan Van Gundy was silent, and what Otis Smith said was true at all.

Lin Sen knew in his heart that Otis Smith was right, but emotionally it was still difficult for him to accept it.

"Wood, although the NBA is a business, it is also emotional in nature. We can't stand Hedo and Kelana, but we need the O'Brien Cup. Although we have played seven games with the Spurs, the real strength gap is very big.

"Otis Smith looked at Lin Sen and said.

At this moment, there was another noise on the TV, because there was another big deal on the scene.

"Oh, is Michael preparing to hit the playoffs this time? He actually traded for Jason, but does this mean that the Golden State Gang is about to end and rebuild?" Bill Walton said while looking at the big screen.

The Charlotte Bobcats sent power forward Brandon Wright, the No. 8 pick, to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Jason Richardson, the dunk king who averaged 20 points per game, and the Warriors' No.

With the No. 36 pick, the Bobcats also sent their $10 million trade exception to the Warriors in order to achieve the trade deal.

Not long after Bill Walton finished speaking, the Portland Trail Blazers who selected Oden made another big deal. The New York Knicks acquired Zach Lando from the Portland Trail Blazers who averaged 20+10 points per game.

For this reason, the Knicks sent Steve Francis and Channing Frye to Portland.

The occurrence of continuous large-scale transactions caused Otis Smith and Stan Van Gundy Linson to temporarily stop, and Linson once again realized that the NBA is "ss!"

"I think we should inform Hido and Kelana in advance." Lin Sen said.

Otis Smith felt relieved after hearing Lin Sen's words. Although he could force the decision, it would undoubtedly cause conflicts between him and Lin Sen. You must know that the Magic has benefited a lot because of Lin Sen. The two had a dispute.

If there is a conflict, he might be the one who leaves in the end.

Another trade broke out on the scene. The Miami Heat sent rookie center Jason Smith, the 20th pick, to Philadelphia, while the 76ers sent Ohio University guard Daequan Cook, the 21st pick, to Miami.

, and the Philadelphia 76ers will also give away some cash.

This was undoubtedly a small deal compared to the previous three transactions. Just when Otis Smith was about to pick up the phone and reply to Petrie, Henin came in.

"Otis has now gone to New York to make a selection, and the Spanish defender Fernandez has not been selected yet. We may consider purchasing the following picks from Phoenix. I heard that Houston and Utah are interested in him, and Phoenix

I have plans to sell it.”

"Really? He hasn't been drafted yet." Otis Smith has also seen Fernandez's scouting reports and highlights. He has physical fitness and scoring ability. He is always full of passion in key games from three-pointers to breakthroughs. Basketball IQ

High, the only drawback is that his weak body may cause problems defensively, but once Azubuike is traded, Fernandez will undoubtedly be a good supplement.

"I'll contact Phoenix immediately." Otis Smith picked up the phone and dialed the Suns' number, and the Trail Blazers also wanted Fernandez.

But in the end, Steve Kerr, the new general manager of the Suns who took office less than a month ago, agreed to Otis Smith because Otis Smith not only paid 2.5 million in cash but also paid No. 56 this year.

The Blazers were only willing to spend 2.5 million for the No. 56 pick. Although a No. 56 pick was nothing, it was better than nothing. In the end, Kerr agreed to Otis Smith.

"Orlando actually bought Spaniard Rudy Fernandez. Now there are a lot of people in Orlando's back line. What are their plans?" Bill Walton said looking at the big screen, and Fernandez didn't expect that he had just put it on.

The Suns hat was sent to the Orlando Magic.

After selecting Fernandez, Otis Smith called Petrie.

"Hido plus Kelana will be exchanged for Ron plus the top three protected draft picks and next year's second round. The salary is about the same."

After hearing Otis Smith's words, Petrie thought for a moment and thought that if he doesn't perform well next year, then the top five should be fine: "If you give me 46 in the first round in 2009 and 46 in the second round this year, then I will agree that Ron and the top five will be protected.

"

"If it's the second round next year, I'll agree." Otis Smith bargained.

Petrie on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment: "Okay! Once Hido recovers from his injury and passes the physical examination, the deal will take effect."
