However, the Celtics still have the No. 11 pick belonging to the Knicks, so in principle, Jiang Mingliang still cannot be taken lightly.

The seventh-ranked kings have many potential inside players, and it is impossible for them to choose Porzingis, who has not come to the team for trial training. Nick Stauskas, a white shooter from Canada, has become their choice. How to put it, it is true from the perspective of thinking, sitting on Cousins, Gay as a ball-holding scorer, the Kings need such an off-ball shooter to help the team open up space on the offensive end, but, this name The strength of the players is indeed not good. In fact, they can choose LaVine!

The Suns, who have been at the point guard position for a whole season, chose the point guard Elfrid Payton with a chic hairstyle. Payton's own reaction is quite happy. After all, joining the Suns means that he can Get a lot of opportunities, and even if the team cannot introduce a strong point guard during the offseason, there is a high probability that they will directly give him the starting position for cultivation. Joining a weak team and filling the vacancy of the upper team is the most ideal growth environment for most rookies.

Leader Joe made the wrong choice again. They picked Noah Vonleh with the ninth overall pick, an insider with no bright spots in his career. Joe's vision is really the key to restricting the progress of the Hornets.

The Nuggets chose McDermott, a white shooter with immediate combat power. Compared with other shooters, McDermott has good physical fitness and high adaptability to the shooting environment. He can provide the team with immediate With the help of combat power, it was hailed as a very safe choice before the draft. However, his positional conflict with the Nuggets' starting small forward Gallinari is still obvious. This choice is a bit incomprehensible.

The Hawks, holding the twelfth overall pick, have Horford and Millsap as two insiders, and the possibility of choosing another insider is not very high, so the Nets are most worried about Porzingis. The most important thing is that the Celtics made a move. Neither Jiang Mingliang nor Porzingis himself wanted to see this happen.

"Julius Randle!" The Celtics may have considered Porzingis, but when they saw that Randall, who was predicted to be in the top eight picks, fell to the eleventh pick and had not been selected, they decisively Choose to give it a go. Just as they didn't expect Pierce to fall back then, a legend who boldly chose to win team history.

"YES!" What kind of results Randall can achieve is no longer within the scope of Jiang Mingliang's consideration. Porzingis has already stepped into the Barclays Center, which is the most important thing.

Perhaps it is because everyone thinks that the Nets' hype about LaVine is a smoke bomb, or it may be that LaVine's performance during the NCAA period was not very optimistic, and LaVine was not selected by the previous team. The Eagles themselves lack wings, and LaVine's talent is still nothing to say, this choice is logical.

"FUXK!" The rebroadcast recorded LaVine's swearing after being selected by the Eagles. New York and Atlanta, the Nets and the Eagles, everyone knows where to go.

Although Thomas had known for a long time that LaVine was a smoke bomb released by Jiang Mingliang, he was still very optimistic about this talented shooting guard. He felt a little pity for the opponent, and then handed over the Nets' envelope immediately.

Although Porzingis knew the result a long time ago, but he really joined the Nets who had prepared for himself for a long time, he still couldn't help being excited, after hugging his family and agent. Walking quickly to the rostrum, he took the hat handed by Thomas himself and put it on his head. The two also hugged.

"I am very excited. The Brooklyn Nets are a great team. I am very excited to play in the Nets. I can't wait for the new season to start now. I hope to show my talent in the NBA."

Porzingis's speech also received the most applause. After all, he was the player chosen by the home team, the Nets, and Jiang Mingliang never seemed to disappoint anyone in the draft.

At the fourteenth pick, the Rockets with a relatively complete lineup chose TJ Turbine, a good wing player. The Rockets have actually done quite well in the selection of puzzle players and developers in recent years. Their problem is the delay There is no way to get a core player. At the 14th pick, it seems to be more difficult.

The ensuing draft was uneventful, and Jokic, who was drinking Coke and eating fried chicken at home, was selected by the Nuggets as in his previous life, but at least for the next season, he is not in a hurry to land in the NBA.

On the whole, the quality of this draft is indeed very high, especially the low-ranked rookies, who produced a lot of talents. Leaving aside Jokic, who may be the strongest second-round pick in history, others including Joe Harris, Grant, Clarkson, Dinwiddie, and Dwight Powell have all received tens of millions of contracts in the NBA. Among the rookies, there are also Saric, Nurkic, Hood, Gary Harris, Capela, and Bogdan Bogdanovic who have received tens of millions of contracts, and the success rate is really high. But among the top five picks, Wiggins, Parker, and Exum are all "water", which lowered the reputation of this rookie class.

The Nets have many players whose contracts have expired this season, and the overall lineup needs to be reorganized. In fact, Jiang Mingliang can obtain these high-quality resources by getting draft picks. However, on the one hand, teams in the league are now more aware of the need to guard against the Nets in exchange for draft picks, making it more difficult for Jiang Mingliang to find treasure at a low price; After typing it out, there is no need to rush to trade, and it is not a bad thing to wait until there is a better opportunity in the future.

After the draft, the next step is the bustling free agent market. For the Nets, players who currently have contracts with the team include Curry (16 million), Lopez (16 million), Leonard (3.5 million), McCollum (3.5 million) Odd (2.5 million), Boban (1.7 million), Green (1.3 million), the total salary is 44.5 million, the salary cap for next season is 63.06 million US dollars, and the luxury tax collection line is set at 76.82 million US dollars. In other words, the Nets can offer a contract of 18.5 million in the free agent market. If they can clear Hinrich's contract in the second round, and James is willing to cut his salary slightly, the team can even eat James. . Of course, this is just a theoretical extreme operation, and the feasibility is not high. After all, the relationship between the two parties is here. Everyone knows how much the Nets love Curry. James may not be willing to be a small person. Moreover, with this Nets team so strong that they swept the league with 16 wins and 1 loss in the playoffs, James has an excuse to find a strong team.

"Jordan can't beat this Nets team!" Is there a better excuse than this?
