I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 87: Networking and post-draft trading

   The 2002 NBA Draft is a draft with frequent accidents.

   There are many incomprehensible draft choices in this draft.

   For example, the Heat chose Yao Ming instead of Jie Williams, who has always claimed to need it.

   Another example is that the Golden State Warriors chose Wade, a guard they don't need at all.

   The New York Knicks chose Nene, the Cavaliers chose Chen Xiao and so on.

   Judging from the choices of these drafts, after the draft is over, there must be a deal.

   In fact, during the draft, Fagan told Chen Xiao that if he waited patiently, he would be traded.

   At the end of the draft, Chen Xiao received the news that he was traded to the Nets by the Cavaliers.

   The Cleveland Cavaliers send rookie Chen Xiao, veteran Teyron Hill

   New Jersey Nets sent star small forward Keith Van Horn and the 2003 unprotected first-round pick

   The 76ers gave out a **** contract Matt Gade and an unprotected draft pick in the first round of 2003, and the top five picks in the first round of 2005 to protect the draft.

   The Cleveland Cavaliers received the 2003 unprotected first-round draft pick from the Nets, the 76ers' 2003 first-round draft pick, and the first five first-round protection draft picks in 2005, as well as the **** contract Matt Gade.

   The Nets get Chen Xiao, veteran Teyron Hill.

   The 76ers get the star small forward Keith Van Horn that they have been desperately in need of.

   The three-way deal between the Nets, the 76ers and the Cavaliers quickly became the focus of the entire NBA.

   After all, the 76ers and the Nets are both powerful players in the league.

   These two teams are the teams that have reached the finals on behalf of the Eastern Conference in the past two years.

  Especially the Nets, the Eastern Conference team that just lost the Finals.

  Although they lost in the finals, the Nets are still the focus of the entire league and will be the favorite to enter the finals next season.

   Keith Van Horne was the Nets' three-master last season, and one of the biggest players in helping the Nets reach the Finals.

To give such a player at the level of the leader of the team to his direct competitor is just in exchange for a rookie full of unknowns and a veteran who has no fighting capacity, and also gave out his own draft pick. This deal is a deal. , No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel a little unsuitable.

   "The Nets made a crazy decision because of their poor performance in mid-range shooting in the finals!"

"Don't the Nets know that they can't even make it to the Finals without Keith Van Horn? It was Keith Van Horn who killed the Pacers last season and sent the Nets to the Finals! "

   "This trade is a huge gamble. The Nets paid the biggest price. Congratulations to the 76ers for getting the strongest supplement and the Cavaliers for the future!"

   The NBA has a lot of trouble because of the Nets and the 76ers and the Cavaliers' tripartite deal.

   As several central figures in this transaction, Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this transaction happen.

   Cavaliers, he is very strange, although he is not repulsive, but I don't know if this team needs itself like the Nets.

   To a team that needs its own, this is the best choice for players.

   Keith Van Horn, who was traded by the Nets, was shocked and incredible.

   He never thought that he would be sent out by the team in exchange for the ‘chair man’ that he didn’t like.

   When I went to try out Chen Xiao with the team, Keith Van Horn never thought that he would be a bargaining chip to trade Chen Xiao.

   Although shocked, this is the NBA.

   And Rod Thorne, the general manager of the Nets, the super general manager who is one of the two NBA's best-knowing kings, after facilitating the deal, he breathed a sigh of relief and was full of anxiety.

   For the Nets, this is indeed a gamble.

   Unknown future, extremely risky gambling.

  If possible, no one wants to gamble like this.

   But the Nets want a championship, he can only do this!

   Throwing these thoughts aside, after the transaction was completed, Rod Thorne called John Paxson, the current Bull’s executive vice president and the Bull’s legendary role player.

   "John, thank you for your help this time."

   "Mr. Sodd, this is what I should be, and Jim is also very satisfied with this deal."

   On the other end of the call, John Paxson was very respectful in the face of Rod Thorne’s gratitude.

   Jim Paxson is the brother of John Paxson, the current general manager of the Cavaliers, and the two brothers have a good relationship.

   If Jerry West is the "handling" of the NBA Lakers, then Rod Thorne is the "handling" of the NBA "Bulls".

   Of course, even though he is the master of the league’s ‘Bulls’ family, Rodthorn can’t do whatever he wants.

   If Jim Paxson and the Cavaliers are not satisfied, there is no way to facilitate the deal.

   This transaction can be completed, in addition to Rod Thorne's contacts, more importantly, the other two parties to this transaction are satisfied.

   The Cavaliers got their most desired future draft pick. As a certain high school student gets stronger and stronger, the Cavaliers are collecting various draft picks.

   used this year’s unwanted first-round No. 7 pick in exchange for three first-round picks in the next two years.

   Very good deal.

   The 76ers also got the star small forward they wanted most, and even their team's core center Mutombo didn't have to send it out.

   Therefore, for this three-way transaction, the 76ers and 76ers president Billy King is the highest rated.

  As a powerful team, these two draft picks of the 76ers are really worthless.

   Billy King is very satisfied with this.

   "A bunch of useless draft picks are exchanged for a team cornerstone. It's a bargain!"

   Billy King was very satisfied watching the admiration of the experts on TV.

   He is not a GM who likes draft picks.

   He likes the present more than the future!

   was traded by the Cavaliers, and Chen Xiao was sent to the Nets without even reporting from the Cavaliers.

   And his good friends Wade and Chen Xiao are in the same situation.

   Wade did not go to the Golden State Warriors to report, he was sent to the Miami Heat by the Golden State Warriors.

   In Wade’s deal, the Golden State Warriors sent out Wade and sent out his own **** contract Chris Mills

   The Miami Heat sent out the team’s perimeter star player, former Lakers star Eddie Jones, and the top five first-round picks in 2003.

   The Memphis Grizzlies sent the team's fifth pick Dunleavy, the veteran Nick Anderson who is about to retire.

   The Miami Heat get Wade, Chris Mills.

   The Golden State Warriors got veteran Nick Anderson, Dunleavy Jr., and the Heat's first-round pick of the top five protections in 2003.

   The Memphis Grizzlies are the direct line of Eddie Jones when the team’s rookie general manager Jerry West was in the Lakers.

   sends out an All-Star player, gets a **** contract, and adds a draft pick that is likely to be a lottery next year in exchange for Wade.

   The price of the Heat is also a lot.

   Whether Wade can grow to the height of Eddie Jones in the future is still hard to say.

   Although Wade and Jie Williams were blown up badly in the NCAA, is it that easy to become an NBA All-Star?

   Besides, after Mourning was injured, Eddie Jones is already the boss of the Heat.

However, for Pat Riley, it cost such a big price this time, costing the boss of the team, the team’s future draft picks, and the favor with Jerry West in exchange for them to chase for a whole year. Wade, Pat Riley himself is still very satisfied.

   There is no way, there is a competitor like the Bull, it is really impossible to not bleed too much.

   In short, Pat Riley is very satisfied with the results this time.

   "Jerry, thank you for this transaction."

   "Thank you, you don't have to. We always get what we need."

   "Hahahaha, that's what I said, I wish you a good day in Memphis."

   Pat Riley smiled and finished speaking, then hung up the phone.

   The Grizzlies are willing to join this deal, not just the friendship between Pat Riley and Jerry West.

   The Grizzlies really need a star wing like Eddie Jones, and Jerry West really needs to have his own lineage on the team, so that it is easier to carry out work.

   So, for the Grizzlies and Jerry West, the Heat have Eddie Jones, the star player they need most.

   And the price in exchange for Eddie Jones is only the team's fifth pick this year, which is very cost-effective.

   Eddie Jones, Shane, Gasol, white chocolate...

   The Grizzlies will be competitive in the Western Conference next season.

   Wade’s transaction, like that of Chen Xiao, is also a transaction that is currently very satisfactory to all three parties.

   Although there is also a lot of controversy in public opinion.

  Wade’s deal, where is the controversy in public opinion?

   Of course it’s not who loses, who gains advantage.

   but...

   "The Miami Heat traded for Wade, that is to say, the Miami Heat don't need Jie Williams anymore. The Miami Heat chose Yao Ming with the No. 1 pick, not to rob the Rockets, but to stay for their own use!"

   After Pat Riley traded for Wade from the Warriors, the entire NBA, including David Stern, was dumbfounded.

   What about holding hands and looking at tears?

  How about good life forever?

   The best player who said that he lost the finals?

   What about the good boss alumni?

   Especially David Stern. After the Heat completed the Wade deal, David Stern felt his ‘kindness’ seemed to be played by Pat Riley.

   "These guys!"

   David Stern dialed Pat Riley's phone in ‘Melancholy’.

   Before Wade’s deal was completed, the Rockets had insisted that the Heat chose Yao Ming to rob them.

   The Rockets are ready to ‘robbing the Heat, but be beeping’, and slam the Heat and the greedy Pat Riley.

   The Rockets, waiting for the Heat and Pat Riley to make a request for robbery, did not expect that Pat Riley directly traded Wade away.

   doesn't even care about them at all!

   For a while, the Rockets were really blinded, panicked, and stupid.

   The Heat’s deal with Wade doesn’t know how many people stop believing that there is such a thing as ‘love’ in the NBA.

  On June 29, 2002, just the third day after the draft, the Miami Heat reached an agreement with the Eastern Club on Yao Ming's coming to the NBA.

   The Miami Heat all agreed to what the Rockets had agreed to.

   13 million U.S. dollars in compensation, a top foreign aid, will also help build a first-class basketball school in Shanghai.

   When the agreement reached between the Heat and the Eastern Club was announced, the entire NBA seemed crazy.

   "Gasol's compensation is only 1 million U.S. dollars. Why can this Chinese get 13 million in compensation?!"

   The latter two requirements are still the second, the key is the first requirement.

   This is really incredible.

   You know, the head of the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant, will not have a salary of 13 million dollars next season.

   In the United States, many people think that Pat Riley and the Heat are crazy.

   I dare to take such a disk.

   Why is Pat Riley, who has always been shrewd, suddenly stupid.

   But in China, I saw the Basketball Association, the Heat and the Oriental Club reach an agreement.

   Yao Ming was really about to cry.

   In order to be able to come to the NBA, how much effort he put in.

   Although his final destination was not the Houston Rockets he always thought, he eventually entered the NBA.

   "Yao, congratulations, you will become a new legend in the NBA."

   Taking over the Heat's jersey from Pat Riley, Yao Ming is very excited.

   This is Pat Riley!

   Pat Riley's position in the basketball world, how could it be comparable to Dawson.

   Even the senior officials of the Eastern Club and the officials of the Basketball Association were not as ‘tall’ when facing Pat Riley when facing the Rockets and Dawson.

   Of course, the things that should be requested are naturally indispensable.

   Yao Ming, the first NBA draft pick in Chinese basketball, was brought into the NBA by Pat Riley in the puzzle of the entire NBA.

  At this time, Chen Xiao, Wade, Braxon, Dina, and Ron Howard saw the news and this photo on TV and newspaper news.

   "I haven't seen Pat Riley yet."

   Throwing aside the newspaper, Wade pouted.

   Wade has actually accepted the reality of coming to the Heat.

   Although he didn't go to the bull of his dreams, he was very happy to **** Jie Williams' candy.

   So, his complaint just now was more of a joke.

   Because of Chen Xiao, he does not exclude cooperation with another Chinese.

   "Maybe this is another great start!"

   Wade is full of expectations for this ~www.NovelMTL.com~ At this time, Marquette University players are not only Wade full of expectations for his future.

   The same goes for others.

   Everyone has a good home.

   Ron Howard went to the magic, the magic has Grant Hill, Ron Howard’s idol.

   Dina went to the Kings, this is a team with a similar style to him.

  Brakson went to the Lakers, this is the Dynasty team, the NBA noble team!

   It can be said that everyone has gained a lot in this draft.

   And Chen Xiao has gained a lot more than others.

   "Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully participating in the NBA draft, and being selected with the seventh overall pick in the first round, completing the achievement "Lotto Player", rewarding the host with a 1cm arm span, 3 professional points, and a career value of 3000."

   "Ding, the host was traded for the first time in the NBA. Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement "Displacement", reward the host with 1 career point and 200 career points."

   "Ding, the main task of the system: join an NBA team and start an NBA career. Task rewards: get rewards based on the overall strength of the basketball team you join and the draft rank."

   "Ding, the host successfully joined the NBA team New Jersey Nets with the No. 7 lottery show. The overall strength of the New Jersey Nets: A-level (top NBA team), host mission completion: A-level."

   "Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the A-level main task, rewarding career value of 10,000."

   After Chen Xiao was selected in the NBA and traded to the Nets, Chen Xiao's system swiped a small screen again.
