The rest is just noise

These days, Louis has stayed behind closed doors, concentrating on studying this year's lottery picks.

What is certain is that this year is a small year for the draft. Last year was the last draft that allowed high school students to participate in the draft during Stern's tenure as president. The top high school students in the class of 2005 had a sense of historical urgency that time is not waiting for us, so they selected a large number of them.

Entering the draft early resulted in a lack of top talent in the 2006 draft.

The only player with super physical talent and athleticism is Rudy Gay.

As this is a small draft year, lottery picks are not valuable, so if the Celtics are willing to sell Carlos Boozer, they will definitely be able to get a lottery pick.

Louis took his attention away from LaMarcus Aldridge and spent a few days studying Brandon Roy.

As a time traveler, he does not need to verify whether Roy will become a talented person, nor does he need to question whether suffering a torn meniscus in high school means he has glass properties.

If we choose him, can he avoid the mistakes of his previous life?

Judging from the lineup, the Celtics have no shortage of players like Roy.

In fact, if Roy is selected, the Celtics' second position will become more crowded than ever before. Wade and Ginobili are almost competing for @ starting points. Wouldn't adding Roy add fuel to the fire?

?But Louis has bigger things in mind.

With the strength shown by Wade in his second year, it is not much worse than Wuxia. Moreover, as a core player who also needs the ball in hand, he has not experienced the same as in his previous life in the 2011 Finals.

Be prepared for transformation like this.

Now Wade is a young star full of talent and a bright future. He will not bow to flawlessness.

In other words, he will attack the flawless boss position.

Once he finds that he can't grab it, then when his rookie contract ends in the summer of 2008, he will leave the Celtics as a free agent.

61% So, Louis needs to find a spare tire for Wade.

He needs Roy.

For this reason, Louis is not concerned about Roy's strength or injury risks, which are all obvious. He is more concerned about Roy's character and whether he can bear to sit on the bench for two years.

Unlike many black players, Roy has two parents. His mother is a canteen clerk and his father is a railway driver. Although his family is not rich, they live a good life. Roy is very sensible and knew how to work part-time in high school to supplement the family income.

When he graduated from high school, he chose to participate in the draft, but was beaten during a trial and gave up the idea of ​​playing in the NBA.

Since Roy, like Garnett, has dyslexia, he could only go to community college to play basketball. He had to go through three re-examinations before he was successfully admitted to a serious university.

Roy's character is not as flamboyant as other star players. He has a bit of modesty and low self-esteem. Until his junior year, he felt that he did not have the ability to play in the NBA. He played in college for four years and did not win the NBA title until his senior year.

He gained more confidence, his scoring average rose to 20 points per game, and he was selected into the conference all-star team. Then he graduated and participated in the NBA draft. He was expected to be picked between fifth and tenth.

Louis saw a very simple character in Roy. Based on his experience, he definitely has the patience to sit on the bench for two years for a championship team, and he also has the consciousness to play alongside superstars.

If he can be healthy, he may be a better partner than Wade.

Louis traveled to Boston to preside over the deal.

Five of this year's top six favorites are insiders. As this year is a small year, except for the most popular ones, the temptation of the others is definitely far less than that of Boozer, who has already made a name for himself in the NBA.

Therefore, when Louis offered Carlos Boozer and the Nets, who held the fourth pick, they were moved.

But the Nets are very greedy. They hope that the Celtics will add Russell Butler in the trade. Butler is considered a first-class 3D in the NBA. If taken alone, he can be traded for a mid-to-early first-round pick. This kind of push-and-pull approach

, Louis will naturally have to increase the price.

Because based on value alone, Boozer is enough to trade for the fourth pick.

Louie asked the Nets to add a future first-rounder to the deal.

61% The Nets are determined to rise. If they can exchange two draft picks for Boozer and Butler, they may be able to return to the playoffs next season.

After a brief thought, the Nets decided to send away the No. 4 pick and the 2009 first-round draft pick in exchange for Carlos Boozer and Rasul Butler.

As soon as the news of the transaction came out, Boozer naturally reacted the most intensely.

He scolded Bird for his betrayal and exposed the previous private agreement between the two parties.

However, anyone who knows what happened to the Celtics has no sympathy for Boozer.

The 2006 NBA Draft will still be held in New York.

The New Orleans Hornets hold this year's No. 1 pick.

In the Celtics draft war room, Louis is predicting with others who the Hornets will select as the No. 1 pick.

Laimbeer predicts that the Hornets will choose Adam Morrison. Without him, he loves the rookies who use Bird as a template.

Both Ewing and Dumars selected the same pick as the mock draft - Andrea Bagiani.

Bird said with a serious face: "If it were me, I would choose to trade."

Then, the Hornets decided to make their decision based on the results of the mock draft.

They selected Bargyani with the first pick.

Louis and others liked what Barkley said about this guy: "Andrea Bargyani? His rebounding is very weak, he has no inside skills, and his physical fitness is average. If you are a Hornets fan, you should be

Panicked or excited about this decision?

As one of the most famous poison templates in the new century, Nowitzki is about to get his second head. The Trail Blazers have this year's second pick.

They have three choices, either to select a weakened version of LaMarcus Aldridge who is suspected of being Bargyani, or to select another Bird II Adam Morrison, or to select the Chinese giant Space Yi from the University of Memphis.

If you have your eyes open, Aldridge is an easy choice.

61%. But if you don’t have an open mind, Aldridge will be a difficult choice.

His draft template is Channing Frye

A raw player who has shooting ability but is not accurate in free throws. He is generally tough but shows weakness when faced with a big center. His dribbling and inside skills need to be improved.

The Trail Blazers already have Howard as their inside cornerstone, and they don't need another potential player who requires patience and long-term development.

They want to trade.

In the Western Conference, one team decided to rebuild, and that was the San Antonio Spurs.

Once Popovich put Allen Iverson on the shelf, the deal went smoothly.

For such a mediocre draft, the No. 2 pick is only worth an Iverson who is no longer in his prime.

Stern announced the deal in public and gave the Spurs five more minutes.

Five minutes later, the Spurs drafted LaMarcus Aldridge without hesitation.

The Trail Blazers gained stars who can lead the way in Howard and Marvin Williams, the Spurs moved forward into the future, and both sides are satisfied.

Afterwards, the Charlotte Bobcats selected Adam Morrison with the third overall pick in the first round.

This result made Louis smile bitterly. In the end, Jordan still chose Morrison.

The Bobcats have the most peculiar management team in the NBA. The two owners, Jordan and Wilson, adopt a shift system. This year it was Jordan's turn to take charge, and then he took a fancy to Morrison, just because Morrison lost the national championship in college.

Tears burst into tears on the spot.

Jordan believed in the gumption of a man who would shed tears over a loss.

But he never considered that the person he selected was someone he could dunk at will when playing.

How abstract is this choice for Jordan? Imagine that the rebel leader in "The Wandering Earth 3" is an electrician with a buzz cut and glasses, or that Wu Jing chose a sissy star he despised most in "Wolf Warrior 3"

Second male.

What is certain is that if this continues, Jordan will soon lose the management rights of the team due to his insane operation.

61% Then, the choice came to the Celtics.

The Celtics' selection will determine many things.

If they select Kong Yiyi or other insiders, it means that they have probably given up on renewing Gasol's contract.

Everyone in the Celtics draft war room knew that Louis wanted to select Roy, and there was no objection on the spot.

So Louis called Roy.

As soon as the call ended, Stern returned to the front desk.

"In the 2006 NBA Draft, the Boston Celtics selected...Brandon Roy from the University of Washington with the fourth overall pick in the first round!"
