The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Since the lottery ceremony, Mallory has become a medium-sized Internet celebrity, and her Twitter followers have skyrocketed from a few hundred to tens of thousands.

This made Mallory feel very novel, and she often interacted with fans on Twitter during this time.

"For photos, let's post them later."

Wang Xiao thought for a while, and then said.

Although the draft has already started, the possibility is not very high, but to be on the safe side, try to avoid exposure.

It is not clear whether there is any paparazzi Wang Xiao among Malorie’s Twitter fans, but there is currently no clue about his next home in the league, and now he suddenly appears in the same frame as the big boss of the Bucks, if someone finds out , is bound to think of some things.

After the draft is over and everything is settled, it doesn't matter.

...

On the draft side, Stern, who will never retire for the sake of harmony, is still giving a speech, but the Bucks management has already started to act.

They also contacted the Magic and the Jazz, expressing their hope to trade with them with the No. 1 pick and next year's first-round pick.

The Magic's requirement is Oladipo and this year's No. 2 pick.

For the Jazz, it is Hayward plus this year's third pick.

This is undoubtedly a tempting proposition.

The No. 1 pick means Wiggins, and next year's first-round pick, judging from the current record of the Bucks, has a high probability of becoming a lottery pick.

Among the 2015 rookies, there are also a group of players with great potential, such as Karl-Anthony Towns, D'Angelo Russell and Jahlil Okafor.

Whether it is for the Magic or the Jazz, the player conditions proposed by the Bucks are not unacceptable.

And when the management of the Bucks informed the opponent that they had contacted the Magic and the Jazz respectively, the management of the two teams became anxious.

After all, there is only one such opportunity. If you miss it, Wiggins may be far away from them!

The management of the two teams immediately held an emergency meeting, and then the Jazz were the first to give an answer, and they agreed to the conditions of the Bucks.

Wang Xiao who got the feedback smiled slightly, but was not in a hurry.

It is great to get Hayward, but it would undoubtedly be better if Hayward could be replaced by Oladipo.

Compared with Hayward, Oladipo's potential and growth space are undoubtedly better, and Hayward's main position is small forward, and he also has conflicts with Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo.

In fact, in terms of style, neither Oladipo nor Hayward is the best player for the Bucks.

Judging from the technical characteristics displayed by Antetokounmpo in another time and space, his most suitable system is a one-star four-shot system, with Antetokounmpo as the core, and the establishment of four outside shooters to open up space for him.

Both Oladipo and Hayward's outside shooting ability can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, not impressive, and their career three-point shooting percentages are only about 35%.

But Wang Xiao has no choice. He wants Thompson and Curry, so the Wizards have to let them go. Only two first rounds are not enough to exchange these two, and other chip kings Xiao felt at a disadvantage again.

In the case of ensuring that Embiid can be obtained, the best choice now is Oladipo of the Magic. If the Magic disagrees, it is acceptable to cheat Hayward from the Jazz.

The Magic are still hesitating.

Unlike Hayward, who has been trained by the Jazz for four years and whose statistics are still mediocre, Oladipo was the No. 2 pick last year after all. A little bit of anticipation in it.

But at this time, the Bucks management called again.

"Just now, the Jazz have agreed to our conditions, but in comparison, we are still more interested in Oladipo. What do you think?"

"We are also very interested in your conditions and are happy to facilitate this transaction, but Oladipo is a player we value very much. Except for him, you can choose any player in the Magic." Magic After the management hesitated for a while, they still wanted to bargain.

But the Bucks have run out of patience.

"Sir, the conditions we have proposed are already the maximum concessions. If you don't show due sincerity, then there is no need to continue the negotiation. Please remember that there is only one Wiggins, O. Ladipo can't compare, and neither can other players, and whether we or the Jazz get the No. 1 pick, they will choose Wiggins, and you will miss the only chance!"

After a brief silence, the Magic finally agreed to the deal.

The general manager of the Bucks, who got a definite answer, was relieved.

In fact, he doesn't quite understand why the team owner made such an inexplicable choice. Wiggins is obviously a future All-Star player, so why should he give up Wiggins in exchange for a high pick who didn't make a name for himself? Sophomore rookie?

However, this is the first task given to him by the team after the new owner. If such an easy deal cannot be achieved, then he may not be able to be the general manager for long.

Soon, the transaction agreement was successfully concluded.

The Bucks sent the No. 1 pick in 2014 and the first-round pick in 2015, and exchanged from the Magic for the No. 2 pick in 2014 and last year's No. 2 rookie Victor Oladipo.

Immediately afterwards, before people had time to be surprised, the Magic selected Andrew Wiggins with the No. 1 pick with lightning speed.

For Wiggins, there is not much difference between being selected by the Bucks and the Magic. What he cares about is the title of No. 1 pick, so he seems very happy.

Immediately afterwards, the Bucks took the second pick of the Magic and chose Wiggins' teammate, Joel Embiid, also from the University of Kansas.

Although this choice made many people slightly surprised, it was not surprising.

Embiid is a potential rookie with the same talent as Wiggins. He was originally capable of competing with Wiggins for the top pick, but due to injuries, his rating has dropped a lot. Before the draft, the major media generally I think Embiid's draft pick will fall out of the top three.

It is reasonable to be selected with the second overall pick now. After all, for Embiid's potential, it is worth taking some risks.

With the third pick, the Jazz, who failed to reach a deal with the Bucks, expressed distress, and then used the third pick to select a point guard, Dante Essam.

This was similar to what Wang Xiao expected. The Jazz did not lack insiders, so they did not choose Jabari Parker, who had a good evaluation, but chose a defender who was in short supply in the team.

But they missed Zach LaVine and Marcus Smart. They chose a player who was well-known in the NCAA but unknown in the NBA. It can only be said that they missed their eyes.
