The Godfather of Basketball

The Cavaliers sent the No. 1 pick, Jimmy Butler (the last year of his rookie contract), and the 40th overall pick in the second round of 2014 to get Kevin Love.

The Timberwolves sent Love, the 13th pick in the first round of 2014, and got the No. 1 pick, Jimmy Butler, and Garnett.

The Nets sent Garnett to get the 40th pick in the second round of 2014 and a transaction exception of about 12 million.

With this plan, it's no wonder that the Timberwolves have to drag the deal to the draft night. Garnett is used to balance the salary.

"This transaction is very strange." Jones said.

Indeed, very strange.

Butler has been cultivated by the Cavaliers in the past. Although it has reached the contract year, it is really incomprehensible to send it like this.

Although Love has been 20+10 in the Timberwolves all year round, he has never made it to the playoffs to prove himself. The Cavaliers' deal is really a bit of a loss.

Tang Tian was also thoughtful.

At this time in the previous life, the Cavaliers also traded Love from the Timberwolves. The bargaining chip was the No. 1 pick, the first round in 2015 and the No. 1 pick in 2013, Bennett.

Compared with the previous life, the Timberwolves now have 15 fewer first-round chips, and they have given an extra No. 13 pick to offset each other. Compared with the previous life, it is actually not too bad.

But the problem is that the Cavaliers don't have James yet.

What would Love do without James?

James, has Gilbert and James reached an agreement?

This may be the only explanation.

Thinking of this level, Tang Tian suddenly felt that this transaction was not so unbelievable.

At this moment, Xiao Hua came out from the backstage and announced the choice of the Cavaliers.

"The first pick in the first round of the NBA in 2014, the Cleveland Cavaliers chose Andrew Wiggins, and the 2.03-meter forward came from the University of Kansas."

As Xiao Hua announced this choice, the Cavaliers fans at the scene were excited.

Wiggins is amazingly talented. Before the draft, he basically locked the No. 1 pick. It is expected that he will be selected now.

But Wiggins is Canadian, and this is also the first top pick in Canadian history.

Wiggins sprinted onto the stage wearing a Cavaliers cap, excitement in his eyes.

Xiao Hua also had a happy face, smiling and shaking hands with Wiggins for a group photo.

His first year in office was the draft year, and he was in a very good mood.

"The second pick in the first round of the NBA in 2014 belongs to the Milwaukee Bucks, and they have 5 minutes to think about it."

Xiao Hua announced the ownership of the second pick, and then retreated backstage.

At this time, the three-party transaction outside the market was officially concluded.

Because this deal is after the draft, Xiao Hua will not broadcast it at this time. This time, fans will know more about it through the media and the Twitter of media people like Woj.

The Bucks are still sitting and thinking about it, but the fans below are already frying, and there are constant discussions.

Like the people in the Nets draft hut, they are more puzzled. Although Love has good statistics, his value is not necessarily higher than that of Wiggins and Butler combined.

In contrast, Cavaliers fans are in a good mood. Although Yao Ming has played on and off for the past two years, the All-Star combination of Yao Ming and Love is quite good, and the new season will definitely kill the Quartet.

But the most confused person is Wiggins himself, who is still wearing a Cavaliers hat to accept interviews and talk about how well he and the Cavaliers are. Some acquaintances came to tell him that he was traded. Face dumbfounded.

The field was boiling, but Xiao Hua was as calm as before, continuing his draft report.

The Bucks selected Jabari Parker, who had a phenomenal performance in this year's NCAA tournament, with the second pick.

The 76ers with the third pick chose Joel Embiid, who was originally the No. 1 pick, but because of injuries before the draft, he eventually lost early in the PK with Wiggins.

There was not much difference between the subsequent draft and the impression, until the 13th overall pick.

"A deal happened, and the 13th pick belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers." When Silver came out for the 13th time, he announced a deal.

With this announcement, the fans at the scene were once again confused.

According to the news they received off the court, the 13th pick was traded from the Timberwolves to the Cavaliers?

They looked at the scene, and then saw the details of the transaction, and this detail made the scene explode again.

The Cavaliers sent Yao Ming and the No. 13 pick, and traded from the Lakers for Dion Waiters and the 2015 first-round pick (top ten protections in 15 years, top five protections in 16 years, and top three protections in 17 years)!

Yao Ming has been affected by injuries in the past two seasons, and he is also old. The maximum salary contract he signed before has become a burden.

The Lakers Gasol's contract expires this season, and Kobe has not yet implemented his player option. The Lakers have room to eat Yao Ming.

In other words, Kobe and Yao Ming in their old age, the combination that fans have been looking forward to for a long time, turned out to be like this!

In this year's draft, earthquake-level deals are really one after another!

However, the reactions of the fans on both sides of the audience were completely different. The Cavaliers fans were even more confused. They were just thinking about the combination of Yao Ming and Love, but Yao Ming was sent away?

And anyway, he is also the 4th MVP, and he even got the 13th overall pick! This is really completely treated as a garbage contract!

The Lakers fans were excited. Although Yao Ming was injured and old, he was a super giant in the past after all, and he was at least a top five player after retiring, not to mention getting the 13th pick in the draft year. earned it!

And the 13th pick, this has to remind them of another super giant in the team, Kobe Bryant!

The Lakers' trade operation is really amazing.

The trade of the Cavaliers made the people in the Nets draft lodge unable to understand.

Only Tang Tian should be the one who knows the most right now.

Yao Ming can actually play, but if the Cavaliers really want James, they must have salary space, but the rebuilt team will not want Yao Ming, and the Lakers must be the best trade partner after they screen.

It seems that although no news has been revealed, or that there is no news to be revealed yet, it is almost impossible for James to return to the Cavaliers.

"The 13th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2014, the Los Angeles Lakers chose Zach LaVine, a 1.96-meter shooting guard, from UCLA University."

The following Lakers fans were instantly excited.

The same is the 13th pick, the same guard, and the height is almost the same. Even LaVine's college is in Los Angeles. This draft is perfect!

When Tang Tian saw this choice, he was also full of curiosity.

In the case of Yao Ming, the injury without weight gain is much smaller than in the previous life. Kobe has not suffered from the rupture of the Achilles tendon in the previous life. They, plus LaVine, may really have some troubles this season.

This deal caused the draft conference to discuss for a long time, but the draft is still going on, and it has come to the end of the first round unknowingly.

"We have received a trade proposal." Just then, Jones said suddenly.
