Nba: Starting With The Eye Of The Devil

Jack McCloskey answered the phone and asked:

"Hello, Reed, what's the matter?"

"I want to trade with you guys," Auerbach said.

"Trading? Is it a second-round pick? This is possible."

Jack McCloskey said.

"It's not a second-round pick, if it's a second-round pick, it won't be me talking to you.

Well, although what Auerbach said was somewhat arrogant.

But Jack McCloskey knows it does.

As the emperor-like figure of the current Celtics, if it was just a second-round pick, it would be Auerbach's deputy who called him.

Now, Auerbach called himself, there must be something very important.

"We need that No. 1 lottery in your hand!"

Auerbach's words were very firm.

"watt?"

After hearing Auerbach's words, Jack McCloskey was stunned.

"Reed, you know, you're only the 21st pick this year.

"What bargaining chips can you exchange for this number one lottery?"

"Is Reggie Lewis enough?" Auerbach said calmly,

"WTF?"

After hearing Auerbach's chips, Jack McCloskey on the phone was stunned.

Reggie Lewis?

That's the next hope for the Celtics' rise!

This season, Reggie Lewis averaged 20.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.3 steals per game.

An absolute all-around striker.

This year's All-Star, Reggie Lewis was also successfully selected.

Moreover, Lewis is only 25 years old this year, which is definitely an opportunity for the Celtics to rise again.

As a result, Auerbach directly wanted Lewis out?

"If that doesn't work, Robert Parrish and McHale. You can pick either of them."

"Don't want their words."

"I can find other teams, the ones that are in the top 10 or even the top five. I can put those teams in a three-way deal. Send them Robert Parish or McHale.

"Maybe at the end of the day you can have Reggie Lewis and a top-10 pick and still get first-round picks for years to come."

"how?"

After hearing the conditions Auerbach gave him, Jack McCloskey was a little dizzy.

Fuck, are the fucking Celtics crazy?

Such a crazy offer came out??

On the other side, the Celtics staff also looked at Auerbach with the eyes of a madman.

Salbach never told them about this matter.

They only found out about this when Auerbach called just now.

And based on their understanding of Auerbach, the reason why he dared to do this must have been premeditated.

Auerbach's goal this year is to get the No. 1 pick!

Crazy, really crazy.

Reggie Lewis is about to be sent out by the Cardinals!

Jack McCloskey was calculating carefully.

Looking at the data, Reggie Lewis is indeed better than Sam Perkins.

As the core of the Timberwolves, it is also absolutely qualified.

It seems that the chips of the Celtics and the Lakers are only different in this year's draft picks.

There is a high probability that Auerbach can use Robert Parish or McHale in exchange for the fourth and fifth picks.

But the Lakers can take out the second pick.

At this time, someone reminded Jack McCloskey.

"Sir, don't forget one thing."

"Reggie Lewis seems to have a problem with his heart."

After hearing this person's reminder, Jack McCloskey immediately woke up.

Indeed, don't look at Reggie Lewis's data is so versatile.

But there is a problem with his heart.

Basketball is a high-intensity sport, although Reggie Lewis played 82 games with full attendance in the past season.

But what if he can't play because of a heart problem after he came to the Timberwolves?

Moreover, the Timberwolves also have a lot of talents at the small forward position.

It doesn't necessarily take a Reggie Lewis who is at risk for heart disease.

On the contrary, Sam Perkins of the Lakers is healthy and has good physical fitness.

With an average strength of 16+8 per game, he is definitely a qualified power forward.

Moreover, the fourth and fifth picks given to them by Auerbach seem to be unable to select players like Laettner and O'Neal.

In comparison, Auerbach shouted fiercely.

In fact, he was really cheating on him a little bit.

He immediately rebuffed Auerbach's trade request.

"I'm sorry, Reed, the chips you offered are too unbelievable."

"I was afraid that you would cheat me, so I chose to refuse the deal."

. " Auerbach on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded when he heard Jack McCloskey's reason for refusing to make a deal

I am Nima, because the chips I opened are too big, and you are afraid of being cheated.

So why did you reject the deal???

Seeing the blind voice coming from the microphone, Auerbach shook his head helplessly.

Of course he would not believe what Jack McCloskey said.

He looked at the dazed staff again, and said with a smile: "It's just a boring attempt.

"I didn't expect that Jack McCloskey wouldn't take the bait, he learned to be smart......"

At this time, in the little green house, Lu Yu came to O'Neill's side and chatted with O'Neill.

"Shaq, how did you know I won the NCAA championship?"

O'Neill: …………

Are you OK?

Seeing O'Neill roll his eyes, Lu Yu laughed and said, "Just kidding, just kidding."

At this time, O'Neill's heart was not very comfortable.

He has played against Lu Yu a lot.

He always wanted to beat Lu Yu.

But until now, he has not defeated Lu Yu even once.

And as a loser, he watched Lu Yu win the final championship.

"Fuck, why didn't Laettner come to the draft? Why did I have to bear his taunts alone?"

O'Neill thought to himself.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes became firm again.

"After entering the NBA, you will lose once sooner or later!"

At this time, David Stern also came out.

With everyone watching, Stern began his speech.

However, everyone has little energy to listen to Stern's speech.

Because everyone wants to know which pick they will be selected.

"Old Zhang, what number do you think Lu was selected?"

At this time, Xu Jicheng asked beside Zhang Weiping.

During this period of time, the good cooperation between [Lu Yu Sports] and CCTV made Wutai decide to continue sending reporters to follow and report on Lu Yu's NBA career journey.

After all, Lu Yu is the first player in Chinese history to land in the NBA.

It's still very meaningful.

Zhang Weiping pondered for a while and said: "At least the top three! I don't think I will be too surprised by the number one pick."

"During this period, the effect of Lu Yu's trial training was very good."

"Offensively and defensively, he played very well.

"A lot of teams want to draft him."

At this time, the Lakers draft war room.

West looked at the list in his hand, his head full of question marks.

My mother, you Timberwolves have brains, right?

Because on the list given by the Timberwolves, there is no need for Sam Perkins!

Instead, Byron Scott, and Saidal Strait.

This is the starting point guard and starting shooting guard for the Lakers this season.

Saidal Streit averaged 15 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals per game.

Byron Scott averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

Huwest called Jack McCloskey directly.

"What's the matter, buddy? Why is it different from what we just said?"

"Well, I think Sam Perkins' salary is a bit expensive, and we have a good striker here."

"So I think these two talents are the most suitable for our Timberwolves."

"You won't disagree, will you?"

"No, no, of course I agree." West said quickly.

For him, the only thing the team can't move is Worthy.

Because James Worthy's position with the Lakers is solid.

After Maggie retired, James Worthy was the totem figure of the Lakers.

If he traded him himself, it would be very unfavorable for the next work to be carried out.

Saidal Streiter just came to the Lakers this season, no problem.

Although Byron Scott has been with the Lakers since 1983 and won 3 championships with the team, he is also an old Laker.

But in terms of status, he is not as good as James Worthy, and he is a little emotional about the team's support.

So if you grit your teeth, you can send it away.

After hearing Jerry West's words, the corners of Jack McCloskey's mouth curled up.

What a genius I am!

The total salary of Stretter + Scott is only 1.7 million!

And Perkins' salary alone is 270!

I saved a million dollars!

A Sam Perkins, the data is 16+8.

And I changed two people, one averaged 15 points, 7 assists and 2 steals per game, and the other averaged 15+1.3 steals per game.

In this way, 30 points, 7 assists and 3.3 steals!

It's a good deal to save 1 million and get two players who average 15 points per game.

Jack McCloskey felt that he was definitely a heifer this time and flew to the sky!

After hanging up the phone, he shouted, "This summer belongs to the Timberwolves alone!!"

"This is definitely an epic draft operation!"

West hung up the phone and looked at the list again.

Um?

Why is something wrong?

How did the Timberwolves send Luke Langley out?

This is the player selected by the Timberwolves with the seventh overall pick in the first round last year.

That's how it was sent out...

Moreover, Wist noticed one thing.

In 1990, the Timberwolves joined the league, and they selected Felton Spencer with the sixth overall pick.

a center forward.

In 1991, the Timberwolves used the seventh overall pick and chose Luke Langley.

But because of the presence of Spencer, Longley played very poorly in the first season of the Timberwolves.

He averaged 4.3 points and 3.9 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was only 45%. He was called a softie by the media.

The boss of the Timberwolves felt that the performance of the previous general manager was indeed not good, so he replaced him directly.

Then there's now Jack McCloskey running the draft

Jack McCloskey immediately intended to send Luke Langley away.

Then, he plans to choose Laettner in this year's draft, which is the 1992 draft.

This is actually not wrong, this year is a big year for the center.

The three centers Laettner, O'Neal, and Mourning all played very well in college.

After Langley left, he also happened to make room for Leitner.

However, choosing three center forwards for three years in a row, this operation is really a bit of a blast...

This operation can be compared to 2009, when the Timberwolves selected three point guards with three picks.

Perfectly missed Stephen Curry, DeRozan, Jrue Holiday.

«Luke Langley……”

Looking at the name, West pondered for a moment and felt that he should not stay.

In the new season, the team must play fast-paced offense.

Luke Langley is too heavy to run fast or jump high, which is a complete drag on the Lakers side.

Moreover, the team also has a white center Divac.

"Pull another team! Organize a three-way deal!"

"Sam Perkins must be sent away, if not, something will happen to the locker room.

While Stern was still on the phone, Jerry West immediately began asking the teams if they wanted to trade.

"Hey, Elkin."

Thinking of this, West called his good brother, good teammate, Elkin Baylor, who was the president of the Clippers at the time.

"Jerry, what's the matter?"

Baylor asked.

"That's right, congratulations on making it to the playoffs!"

"You guys played so well this season, you even made it to the fifth tie with the Jazz in the Western Conference Finals!"

Hearing what West said, Baylor also said regretfully: "Yes, it's such a pity. If we can pass the Jazz, we might be the team that reached the Western Conference Finals."

"I believe we can beat the Blazers and finally enter the finals to compete with the Bulls!"

"I think you (well) lost one point," West said.

"Which point?"

"Center! Your rebound was robbed by Karl Malone. If you have a suitable center to protect the rebound, you will definitely beat the Jazz!"

"Oh? Do you want to trade your center forward?" Baylor asked.

"Where is there a strong center in our team. But I organized a three-way deal to get Luke Langley. Are you willing to take over Luke Langley?"

"He? He's wet..." Baylor said after hearing Longley's name.

"Where is the water? He just lacks playing time!"

"He's the seventh pick! Believe me, this is definitely a player for the Clippers!"

Jerry West said: "I believe in your ability, you will definitely be able to train Longley!"

"Well..., what do you guys want from the Clippers?"

"I don't want your people, I want your draft pick. I'll take the seventh pick, Longley, for your 16th pick, and you won't lose!"

On the field, David Stern's speech finally came to an end.

"Next, let the Minnesota Timberwolves make their choice," he said.

But a minute, the Timberwolves submitted their draft results.

"Congratulations to the Timberwolves, they "selected Lu Yu with the first pick!"

After Lu Yu heard it, he glanced at Jeff Austin beside him.

Austin answered a phone call at this time and said to Lu Yu, "Don't worry, everything is under control!"

"There will be deals."

Lu Yu nodded, first got up and hugged a few friends around him, intending to delay the time.

It's a pity because there was a little problem with the visa. His parents didn't make it to the draft.

Sure enough, after a delay of about a minute, the transaction came out.

"Timberwolves, Lakers, Clippers made a three-way deal!"

Three-way deal?

Good guy, this year's draft is quite messy. .
