Chapter 750
Seeing that AI actually mentioned this, Lamar said with a smile: "If you can, you can go for LeBron James, if you can't fight for him, then Carmelo Anthony will also be a very good choice!"
"You sinister guy! You know that's not what I'm talking about, we don't have the luck of the Knicks, we can get 2 lottery tickets just by trading!"
In fact, even if the 76ers have the top pick, Lamar is not worried about what kind of impact AI and James will have on him. Because for at least three years, he could completely ignore James. As for Anthony Lamar, he did have a little selfishness, hoping that away from the Denver Plateau, Anthony would not be as deprived of oxygen as his brain was in his previous life!
Not long after the two of them exchanged pleasantries, the host came out to announce the official start of the lottery ceremony. Of course, the first show was the boring opening line of Stern's old ghost.
After a period of chaos in the league, Stern's interest was obviously not so high, and after a brief summary of last season's gains and losses, the draw ceremony was announced.
"If he had been so simple and straightforward every time, his reputation would definitely be a hundred times better now than it is now. Jeff Van Gundy doesn't seem to have a good impression of Stern either.
Regarding Jeff Van Gundy's evaluation, Lamar, a guy who can't get used to David Stern, also smiled flatly, and began to ponder the serial numbers that gave him a headache.
This is Lamar's first time participating in the NBA Draft, and he still hasn't fully understood the cumbersome rules. But fortunately, he just went up to complete the lottery, and the person who got this result was also from Denver, and he didn't have to bear any responsibility for it.
"All the teams' serial numbers have been finalized, and we'll be pulling out the draft picks from that for each team this summer in a moment. The young talents are ready and I believe that every team will get a satisfactory result after today. ”
The host of the draw was still tirelessly repeating his lines that do not change every year, but the representatives of the teams below were already a little impatient. Indeed, as the host said, the qualifications of this year's rookies are definitely worthy of the adjective young talent.
The representatives of the teams sitting on the court are looking forward to another draft year after the league has gone through the golden generation of '84 and '96.
First to play was the representative of Cleveland, who finished at the bottom of the East last season, and the core player of the team, Jerry Stark House.
With a very postmodernist smile on his obnoxious face, Stackhouse pressed the button at the host's command.
The numbers on the big screen flickered rapidly, and after a long time of changing, they finally stopped, and soon one of those serial numbers was circled in red.
It's the champion sign!
"Well done. Cleveland's head coach, Mike Brown, jumped to his feet, flapped his arms and roared loudly.
Looking at Mike Brown's excited appearance, if it weren't for the fact that Jerry Starck House's face was really funny, he would have rushed up and kissed a few times to vent the joy in his heart.
Compared to the jubilation on Cleveland's side, the Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets, who then drew the list and the flower pick, are full of grief!
Nuggets head coach George Carr suddenly sat on the ground with his head in his hands as if he had seen his wife stealing people, and yelled, "Oh no!"
Seeing George Carl so out of shape, the others were also taken aback, and they looked at George Carl as if he had lost his beloved son.
Just when people were scratching their heads, the host of the lottery ceremony gave the answer. After all, a deal involving draft picks is very secret for each team, and it will only be announced at this time.
"Mr. George Carr's luck is really, really good, no! I mean Marcus Camby's luck is very good. But unfortunately, this scout lottery does not belong to them, but to the New York Knicks. Gentlemen, let's congratulate Coach Jeff Van Gundy. ”
When the host announced such a result, the scene was in an uproar. No one could have imagined that things would turn out like this.
If the prospect is in the hands of the Denver Nuggets, no matter who they choose, it will not be a threat to the rest of the league. But if the team that got the scout becomes the New York Knicks, the situation will be completely different.
Because the Tanhua Lottery is at most a charcoal in the snow for the Denver Nuggets, it will take at least a few years for Denver to rise through the Tanhua Show. And for the New York Knicks, that's the icing on the cake, once Tanhuaxiu joins the Knicks to become Lamar's right-hand man, then the other teams will really have no drama.
When the Denver Nuggets chose to trade with the New York Knicks, they never expected that the situation they had today would happen.
When the lottery came out, the people of Denver were going crazy with regret. The deal with the New York Knicks was nothing short of blood! First Ney & Nehilario, and then this time it was a probe lottery.
"What the hell did the bastard agree to such a deal in the first place?" Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl was the first to jump to his feet and curse loudly in anger.
Next to George Carl is Denver big man Marcus Camby, who has just returned from the draw. Seeing the head coach's anger, Camby's heart suddenly burst with contempt, and he muttered in a low voice: "Idiot, if it wasn't for the original deal, I might still be in New York!"
Another unkind face present was David Stern, the chairman of the league. He now hates the Grizzlies general manager and the Nuggets general manager who traded draft picks to these two teams.
Because now whether it is the Detroit Pistons or the New York Knicks, the strength is already very strong. Now these two NBA powerhouses have been signed by the list and the flower respectively, doesn't this make the two teams icing on the cake and take their strength to a higher level?
Especially for the New York Knicks, in the finals last season, if Lamar didn't care too much about the safety of his family and had no intention of fighting, the Spurs would probably be solved by the Knicks like chopping melons and vegetables.
Now the Knicks are clearly in luck, and their already powerful mess is in shambles. Now that the probe lottery has actually fallen into the hands of the Knicks again, thinking about the names that have been hyped by the media this draft year, Stern has an urge to strangle the mentally retarded group of the Denver Nuggets.
"Damn why are they again?" said Byron Scott, head coach of the New Jersey Nets, the Knicks' direct rival in the East.
"What the hell, if they take the Bosh we want, then we're going to play?" This is the head coach of the Raptors who is planning to rise with Bosh.
"The league should have a new rule that no team in the playoffs can get a top-15 pick, regardless of what is traded or not. "This is Sterling, the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers who can't eat grapes and says that grapes are sour.
There was a noisy discussion in the room, and then all eyes were on the Knicks general duo who were seated. Everyone else is about to blow up the nest, but they still look calm.
If it weren't for the fact that these people regarded themselves as civilized gentlemen in their hearts, they would probably have rushed up and beaten people a long time ago.
"Jeff, it seems that your prayers, the old man called God heard!" Lamar clapped his hands lightly with a slight smile on his face.
"Shut up! Lamar, you damned heretic, messenger of Satan, don't bother me to show my gratitude to God, thank you, Lord, thank you for giving me a flower stick. Jeff Van Gundy said reverently, but unfortunately forgot to draw a cross on his chest.
"But who should we choose?" Lamar whispered without squinting, barely moving his lips.
"How do I know! But I'm glad I got the flower lottery. Lamar, don't you feel good looking at the guys around you who look like they're going crazy with jealousy?" Jeff Van Gundy was trying to control his urge to laugh, and the muscles on his face twitched, looking like he was smiling.
"Bullshit, I'd love to trade all of my first-round picks right now and piss those bastards to death!" Lamar never forgot when he was in the draft, and he never let go of an opportunity to retaliate against the other party.
But when he thought about who to choose, Lamar's heart began to struggle again. But that guy is a tragedy, no one can deny his talent and strength, but his solitary style of play restricts his possibility of becoming a superstar.
In that case, you would have to give up Nejlario, which Lamar didn't want. And he didn't think he could coexist with Bosh either.
The addition of Devin Wade will not only fill in the weak link after Alan Houston's departure, but also increase the team's breakthrough and fast break strength. But what about the ball? The team already has Chauncey and himself, two people who need players, and now Wade is still young, and his shooting is not stable, he must have the ball to play the power of his lost step!
Would you like to pick a random person and add a little laugh to this dreary alliance? Lamar wouldn't mind if anyone else did. But if he himself is taken for a fool, that would be a different matter.
The Pistons got the list pick, and the Knicks got the Tanhua pick, which is a fait accompli and irretrievable. The teams then stepped forward, and in the end, the Toronto Raptors got the No. 4 pick, so they could at least get one between Milicic and Bosh, and they could find a good interior partner for Vince Carter, and they could be satisfied.
