This Forward is Not Serious

Duffy turned his gaze to the stage at this moment.

Lin Ying was still predicted to be selected by the Detroit Pistons with the 15th overall pick in the last round of draft predictions.

However, the prediction is just a prediction, it does not mean that Lin Ying will definitely fall to that position.

Those who can enter the small green house, any position in the lottery is possible.

The Warriors are one of the teams that Duffy now thinks is possible.

Although with Lin Ying's talent, it is very difficult to enter the top ten in this year's draft, but it is not impossible.

The first goal of the Warriors is Yi Jianlian, and it is likely that Lin Ying will be used as Yi Jianlian's "substitute".

After all, the Bay Area Chinese market is huge!

"The 8th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2007, the Golden State Warriors selected..."

Another Stern exclusive pause.

"Brandon Wright, a 2.06-meter power forward, from the University of North Carolina."

The Warriors still chose Wright!

When 16 entered 8, Wright was obviously suppressed by Lin Ying.

However, the same sentence, the NBA team's lottery selection criteria, they pay more attention to the potential of the players.

For example, Westbrook was still playing Darren Collison in the NCAA during the draft.

The higher the talent of the player, the greater the representative potential and the higher the upper limit.

In the draft report given by "NBAdraft", Wright scored 9 points in the potential category.

This will be especially evident in the top ten picks.

The Bulls, with the ninth overall pick, are considering it.

...

The Hornets' draft cabin.

General manager Powell is a bit busy.

Although the draft has only reached the ninth pick, his phone has been ringing.

The Lakers and Suns have been asking about the trade value of their No. 13 pick.

Although it is not stated clearly, the two teams are interested in their pick at the same time, and it is easy to think of one person.

Lin Ying.

Lin Ying also tried out for the Hornets, and even the "DraftExpress" next door predicted that Lin Ying would be selected by them with the 13th overall pick.

However, after a full discussion by the Hornets management, they still decided not to choose Lin Ying.

Because they have Paul on the outside, David West and Tyson Chandler on the inside, and Peja Stojakovic on the front.

If there is a choice, they will want a perimeter player with excellent defensive ability, such as Corey Brewer.

If they have no choice, they will also choose a substitute insider who can be used immediately.

Julian Wright or Al Thornton would be more suitable for them.

But now that Brewer has been drafted, Wright and Thornton are not must-choices for them.

So for the No. 13 pick, they are open to trading.

After all, if you choose an insider with immediate combat power, how can there be a trade with an insider with instant combat power!

But so far, the chips given by these two teams are not enough to impress them.

The chips given by the Suns are Kurt Thomas plus this year's No. 24 pick, as well as part of the cash compensation.

Thomas is old and strong, and he is indeed a very suitable substitute insider for them, but the price-performance ratio of the contract of more than 8 million is a bit low.

The bargaining chip given by the Lakers is Radmanovic plus this year's No. 20 pick.

Radmanovich was the No. 12 pick in 2001. He had been playing for the Sonics before, and he had always been a substitute.

In terms of field performance, he is not as good as Thomas, but his contract is more cost-effective.

Of course, the attitudes of the two teams are actually similar:

This is the minimum bargaining chip we give, and it is completely negotiable.

For example, the Suns, if they want, they can add the 29th pick.

For the Lakers, it is also acceptable to replace Radmanovic with next year's first-round pick.

In the words of Kupchik:

"Our first-round pick for next year is worth a lot. You can use this pick to trade with other teams for a more suitable player."

See how much we think about you!

But it was this attitude that made Powell instinctively alert.

Not for anything else, just because they have done a similar deal with the Lakers!

And it was also the 13th overall pick!

Although it was chosen by the Lakers, they replaced Divac with the 13th overall pick, and then the Lakers selected Kobe in that position.

That wave of operations is comparable to the Blazers next door giving up Jordan.

It was his predecessor, Bob Bass, who made that deal.

So it is impossible for his successor not to pay attention to this.

Will Lin Ying be the next Kobe?

Or, has the opportunity to grow into a Kobe-level player in the future?

Absolutely no one would think so.

Because Kobe's low pick at the beginning was more because he was a high school guard, and the reason for the surprisingly high quality of the draft that year.

Stronger than Garnett, he was only the fifth overall pick in the 1995 draft.

At that time, high school students were not as recognized by the league as later.

Although this year is considered to be a big draft year, it is still incomparable with 1996.

Moreover, according to Lin Ying's draft report, his potential value is not high.

You must know that although there was no such a sound scoring mechanism back then, Kobe was recognized for his potential.

"Ask the Suns for Boris Diaw, ask the Lakers for Andrew Bynum."

After Bowie said this, his assistant froze for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrong.

This is not a negotiation, but an attempt to take advantage of the fire!

As long as the brain is normal, it will not agree!

"Just hurry up and talk."

Seeing the assistant standing there, he frowned and said.

There is a lot of time before the draft, but because it has not reached that point, the negotiating parties are not in a hurry, and basically they will not make concessions.

But when it comes to the draft, many things that could not be discussed before will become possible.

Even sometimes because of time constraints, you will lose your judgment and make many transactions that seem impossible.

In the final analysis, it depends on how interested you are in the opponent's chips.

So this wave of Powe is not so much a negotiation, but more like testing the bottom lines of the two teams.

Then he can decide what to do next based on this bottom line.

After a while, both teams replied one after another.

For the Suns, yes!

However, you have to pay more!

Dior, change to the 13th pick and add 2 million!

For the Lakers, Bynum can't do it, but Odom can!

Because Odom's contract is tens of millions, the one-on-one Hornets don't have this salary space.

Moreover, Odom's transaction value is higher than that of Diaw, and the Lakers will also ask the Hornets to supplement other things, such as players or draft picks.

After knowing the replies from the two teams, everyone in Powe was shocked.

In the case of Dior, he belongs to the NBA starting level player, or it can be said to be above the starting level.

Because in the 05-06 season when Stoudemire was absent, he had a brave performance of 13.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists.

Although in the past two seasons he could only play as a substitute due to overlapping positions, he definitely has hard power.

Not to mention Odom's words, a quasi-All-Star player is also the best player in the Lakers team except for Kobe.

Lin Ying, is it worth what they paid?

Or is it that the draft report given by "NBAdraft" is inaccurate, and Lin Ying's potential is actually underestimated?

potential.

Bowie suddenly noticed something.

Before the start of Crazy Three, Lin Ying didn't even appear in the major draft lists.

But after a crazy three, he was predicted to be selected in the first round.

Does this count as potential?

Generally speaking, this kind of draft prediction surge occurs because the outside world does not know the players.

But Lin Ying's skyrocketing rate is unprecedented, who can say that there is no progress in it?

Among other things, although the low-level technology is not mature, it was only shown on the stage of Crazy Three.

So, count!

When thinking of this, Bowie has already made a decision in his heart.

He doesn't want to be Bob Bass second, he wants to be the first himself!

...

Lakers draft lodge.

"Refused to continue negotiations?"

Kupchak was shocked when he heard the reply from the Hornets.

What kind of plane is Bowie doing!

Non-Bynum can not mean?

"They didn't continue to ask for Bynum, but directly closed the trading channel."

The assistant also seemed to have guessed what Kupchak was thinking, and followed suit.

This time, Kupchak was completely dumbfounded.

Are you kidding me?

...

The Suns draft lodge.

Cole also had the expression that I was going to kill Bowie.

Obviously, I agreed to the bargaining chips you raised.

Then you turned around and said no?

Pull black, pull black!

But the problem now is no longer a matter of blacklisting or not.

It's the Hornets' deal that doesn't work, they have to find a new trading partner.

Otherwise, with the draft picks they have now, they would definitely not be able to select Lin Ying.

Time was tight, so he picked up the phone and called the Eagles.

Now that D'Antoni has been persuaded to give up Diaw just now, it is entirely possible to consider trading a higher pick.

The Hawks have 2 lottery picks this year, with Horford at No. 3, plus Joe Johnson and Josh Smith, and Marvin Williams.

The young players are already overcrowded. If they change to another backcourt, they will be able to fight in the past. It's not like the opponent will agree.

only……

The other party is busy.

Just, a million points of embarrassment.

...

Eagles draft lodge.

General manager Rick Sander chats with Sonics general manager Sam Presti.

Presti, like Kerr, has only just come into office this year.

But unlike Cole, the Sonics are at the crossroads of building a team, and he has more room to operate.

Lewis's pursuit of a 100 million yuan contract is no longer considered by the team. Just leaving a 31-year-old Ray Allen in the West will not make the playoffs.

So after Angie came to the door, he made up his mind to tear down and rebuild.

But what the outside world doesn't know is that the negotiations between him and Angie ended long before the draft.

And after holding the No. 5 pick, he got in touch with the Eagles, wanting to add chips in exchange for the No. 3 pick in the opponent's hand.

Well, similar to the transaction between Trey Young and Doncic in history.

His target is Al Horford.

Horford is the best big man in this class outside of Oden.

It's a pity that the Eagles also wanted Horford wholeheartedly, so the negotiation between the two failed in the end.

But it also allows them to establish a good trading relationship.

After all, being able to see Horford at the same time can be regarded as a hero who sees the same thing.

So after winning Durant and Green one after another, what he is doing now is to get the No. 11 pick in the opponent's hand, and then take it off in a ground-breaking way...

Lin Ying!

A player predicting the edge of the lottery, who would have thought they would bet on the 11th pick?

And one of the important reasons why he did that was the relationship between Lin Ying and Durant.

Anyway, Ray Allen sent away, and Durant's leveling is bound to happen.

Then why not find one of his best buddies in college!

What's more, this partner has good passing ability, not only Durant can level up, but also Green by the way!

When the time comes for the Seattle Youth Army to sweep the league, wouldn't it be great!

As for why Lin Ying was not directly selected as the fifth pick?

As I said before, Lin Ying's talent is not enough.

The top ten picks in the draft year are all very valuable. The Sonics rebuild will place a heavy emphasis on talent.

In other words, Green's talent has the opportunity to grow into an All-Star player!

The upper limit that Lin Ying can see now is a top role player, similar to a player like Boris Dior.

So the fifth pick is impossible, and the 11th pick is already a bold bet that others dare not bet on.

Because the Eagles' pick is coming soon, the negotiations between the two sides have finally been declared a success.

The team's starting point guard Luke Ridnoga will trade for the Hawks' No. 11 pick and Speedy Claxton in the second round next year.

Ridnor was the No. 14 pick of the Platinum Generation in 2003. He has been the main point guard of the Sonics for the past two years, averaging 11 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists per game.

The Eagles have a lot of inside and forward players, but they don't have a good guard.

Moreover, Ridnor belongs to the stable guard of the academy school and does not take the ball. This wave of transactions can be regarded as a perfect reinforcement.

What they were talking about just now was that the Sonics would help the Eagles get a garbage contract for Clarkston.

There is a contract of more than 5 million yuan, but because there are still three years left, the two sides talked for a long time.

As long as Lin Ying is selected by the Eagles, the deal will be officially concluded.

Sander had just hung up the phone with Presti when Cole's call came in.

This guy is very persistent!

"What kind of chips do you need for the No. 11 pick?"

Cole asked anxiously.

On stage, Stern came out with an envelope containing the Bulls' draft results.

"I'm sorry you're late."

Sander said helplessly.

Cole over there was silent for a while and hung up the phone.

This wave can be regarded as entering the NBA management to pay tuition.

...

At the draft site, Stern walked up to the stage for the 9th time and announced the Bulls' selection with a smile.

"The 9th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2007, the Chicago Bulls selected..."

Daily pause.

"Lin Ying, a 2.06 meter forward, is from the University of Texas."

...
