Vol 2 Chapter 418: The 2011 NBA Draft (1/4!)

This year is not a big draft year, but the champion has no suspense.

Kyrie Irving, from Duke University, basically locked up the champion in advance.

For the Clippers, they already have a strong insider like Griffin, and the arrival of Irving just formed a Gemini.

This draft is called a draft year, but Tang Tian knew that Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, and Jimmy Butler were all in this round. It really ca n’t be called a small year, but those who had no chance in front of him, Butler was He must win.

"Good evening, gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the 2011 NBA Draft ..."

Stern appeared on the draft again.

He is almost 70 years old, and this year's lockouts have made him even more haggard. There are rumors that he may choose to retire after the lockout, but during the turbulent period, he still showed an iconic smile on the draft.

"The first overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft belongs to the Los Angeles Clippers. They have 5 minutes to consider."

When Stern announced the result, the Clippers fans on the scene cheered with excitement.

This is the second time they have won the top pick in four years.

It was no surprise that the Clippers chose Kyrie Irving with their top pick.

Owen's expression came to power with joy.

Although not as famous as the brothers of the same city, the Clippers, but the Clippers are also in Los Angeles, after all, is his biggest show stage of balloon skills.

The second overall Timberwolves still maintained their consistently poor draft vision and selected Derek Williams.

The third-placed Kings chose Tristan Thompson.

The choices afterwards are almost the same as those in Tang Tian's previous life.

The Warriors chose Klay Thompson, one of the future splash brothers, at the 11th pick.

The Spurs used George Hill to trade for the 15th overall draft pick from the Pacers, and then used him to select Kawhi Leonard.

The Morris brothers were picked by the Suns and the Rockets.

After the lottery draft ended, the hot rookies were basically taken away.

Some fans on the scene began to retire, after all, the draft was young.

However, the Cavaliers office atmosphere is a bit dignified.

Their attempts have still not had very good results.

Now, before Tang Tian, ​​there seems to be only two options.

Either give up Butler, or contact Popovich and use Green for the Spurs' No. 28 draft pick and addition.

But after two years of training, Green already has a fairly mature immediate combat strength. Last year's finals also contributed to Terry's defense. It is not cost-effective to change a rookie Butler alone.

After all, Butler is not the kind of rookie who is very powerful, and Green's role in the Cavaliers is currently no one can change.

Can I just give up?

If you give up Butler, the 30th pick is Chandler Parsons.

Parsons' immediate combat strength is stronger than Butler's, is also a very good choice.

But Butler, the future super giant, just missed him a little bit unwillingly.

"The 25th pick belongs to the Orlando Magic and they have 5 minutes to consider."

Just then, Stern announced the 25th overall pick in the first round.

Magic?

Tang Tian's head flashed when he heard it.

Lewis was pardoned by the Magic last season, and they are now missing a three-point space type four, which is also Howard's standard.

The space type four position, the Cavaliers now have two, Anderson and Frye.

Anderson is the Cavaliers regular season starter, Frye is an important rotation, but in the playoffs, the two defensive problems are too obvious, there are not many opportunities to play.

And Anderson's words, the previous season was for the Magic, and it is now the fourth year of his rookie contract. After this year, he has to consider renewing the contract.

"Contact the Magic and use Anderson and their first round of next year to quote their 25th pick." Tang Tian said quickly to Dante.

Anderson, whose contract is about to expire soon, is obviously unable to impress the Magic. Now that time is limited, he can only make money.

Dante didn't ask, and immediately contacted.

Jones stopped talking at this moment, and finally didn't speak.

The entire draft cabin was exceptionally quiet, leaving only Dante's voice.

Three minutes later, Dante dropped the phone, and he took a long breath.

"The Magic agreed."

The 25th overall pick in the first round, still in the draft, was actually of very low value.

Under normal circumstances, the Cavaliers can trade with this year's 30th pick plus a second round pick.

Other teams don't want to make the Cavaliers stronger, but after the Magic lost Rashad Lewis, they also needed Ryan Anderson.

And with a first round plus the season's starting power forward for the end of the first round of a small year, this does not look like a reinforcement trade.

Tang Tianchang exhaled.

The next pick is the Bulls. Some news before the draft revealed that the Bulls also have a soft spot for Butler, and they were Butler in the past life.

A pick, the last two minutes, this kind of feeling really feels like a buzzer on the court.

"A trade happened and the Cleveland Cavaliers got the 25th overall pick in the first round. They have 5 minutes to consider."

After Stern went out, he announced the deal.

"!!!"

Shortly after this, the staff at the draft came knocking on the door.

Dante gave the envelope with the result already written.

Soon, when Stern came out again, he was already holding the envelope with the result ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ Looking at the old man in his late seventies, Tang Tian was very kind at the moment.

Butler!

A striker swingman, a defensive fighter at the beginning of his career, an All-Star player who will grow in the future!

A 25th pick was selected. This is not a second round pick, but it is an absolute low-end Taobao!

"I'm going out. If you are 30th, you can choose according to the original plan."

Tang Tian said, directly out of the draft cabin.

"The 25th overall pick in the first round of 2011, the Cleveland Cavaliers chose ..."

After walking out of the cabin for a while, they reached the arena. They were on the second floor. After they came out, they could just overlook the entire draft scene.

"Jimmy Butler, the 2.03 small forward comes from Marquette University."

When Stern announced the result, the Cavaliers fans came to the scene with a cheer of excitement.

But Tang Tian's eyes were on the sidelines.

Butler did not enter this year's green house, he was sitting on the sidelines with his adoptive parents and good brother Jordan Leslie.

After hearing that he was selected by the 25th pick, his adoptive parents screamed with excitement, and then wept with excitement and excitement.

Their family is very poor. Before adopting Butler, they had to raise four children, and finally decided to leave Butler, more from the persistence of his children.

And after adopting Butler, their requirements for Butler are also the strictest. What he is asked to do is to set an example for the children.

Now, all their efforts have paid off.

Butler smiled with his adoptive parents, hugged with his good brother, and after taking the Cavaliers cap handed over by the staff, took a deep breath and walked towards the stage.
