June 24, 2010 was the day of the NBA Draft.

Frankly, this year is the standard draft year. The Washington Wizards, who have the No. 1 pick in hand, are rumored to be making a trade.

However, for the media, today is a day to remember. It will kick off a summer wave of transfers.

Everyone is waiting for the league landscape to change dramatically this summer.

Those adrenaline-pumping gossip has already made the hearts of fans restless.

Hurry up!

Let's make the deal more violent.

Li Zhen sat calmly in the Clippers' draft war room, and next to him sat Isaiah Thomas.

Isaiah Thomas finally came out of the mountain because he got confirmation from Lee Zhen that Lee Jin would join the Clippers. And earlier, the league had announced that Jack Lee had become the No. 2 shareholder of the Clippers.

So, he decided to be here as an advisor.

It doesn't matter if you have money or not, the main thing is to make a name for yourself here.

Anyway, the Knicks are still going to give him a pre-tax salary of $12 million a year until 2014.

"Hasn't Minnesota given an accurate message yet?"

Li Zhen asked Thomson.

Thomson replied: "They are still hesitant right now, and they think that the No. 3 show might surprise them. ”

Li Zhen turned his head sideways: "Call the walkers." It doesn't have to be signed No. 4. ”

That's when it happened.

Jingle bells!

The phone rang sharply, and the Timberwolves agreed to a trade for draft picks and Byron Davis after weighing it up.

A team like the Timberwolves is destined not to attract superstars. So, Byron Davis, a former All-Star, still makes a lot of sense to them.

And they do want to get rid of the contract baggage of parallel trades.

As a result, a deal was made at the same time that David Stern announced that John Wall was the champion.

The Clippers sent Byron Davis to the Minnesota Timberwolves with the No. 4 pick and Daco Milicic and Damion Wilkins.

The deal amounts to the Clippers providing the youth Army Timberwolves with an experienced former All-Star plus a locker room leader.

The Timberwolves, on the other hand, offered a draft pick of the fourth year, plus two contracts to clean up garbage.

When draft expert Charterford learned of the deal, he immediately announced that it was not a win-win deal, or a new attempt by two bad teams after they were tired of their condition. Success or failure doesn't matter, because there's no point.

With... After the Clippers used the Timberwolves' No. 4 pick to pick 20-year-old sophomore white guard Gordon Hayward, the teasing became even more harsh.

"I can't figure out why the Clippers made that choice. He can obviously choose Cousins with more potential, and Monroe and Yudo are also very perfect options, why choose a skinny white guard? But not everyone can be Ginobili. ”

Chatford was taken aback by the Clippers' choice on television.

But soon, the focus of the discussion was blurred by a sudden shocking transaction.

The Toronto Raptors and the New York Knicks reached a sign-and-trade deal with Chris Bosh.

Chris Bosh signed a six-year, $125 million contract.

And the Knicks sent Zach Randolph and Matt Barnes.

The day still came.

The throw of this shocking deal announced to the world that the two-time champion had embarked on an unprecedented rebuilding operation.

When Li Zhen heard the news, he was very calm.

Zach and Matt Barnes went to Toronto Raptors?

They won't be there for long.

Li Zhen thought so in his heart.

Sure enough, the Memphis Grizzlies then made a three-way trade with the Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors...... In the deal that designed seven players and four draft picks, Zach Randolph went to the Grizzlies. Matt Barnes went to the Golden State. The Raptors empty gloves White Wolves get two first-round picks and $3 million in cash.

The Raptors didn't lose anyway.

They didn't take any big contracts.

The Golden State and Memphis also take what they need.

Only... Two of the New York Knicks' careerists scolded the straight thief, and Chris Bosh's contract is undoubtedly a huge salary burden, and it also means that whoever comes next will have to be treated the same as Bosh.

Three contracts for one team with 100 million yuan.

In 2010, it may be that the wealthy New York Knicks can afford it.

The cub sells Ye Tian's heart is not painful.

Isaiah Thomas couldn't help but sigh when he heard the deal happen.

A good foundation, such an excellent salary space is wasted.

Chris Bosh, an All-Star who has never proven himself, can get an average of 20 million cap salary? Zach isn't better than him?

Li Zhen had already treated it indifferently.

At this time, the Clippers also picked Paul George with the 8th pick.

George was thrilled to learn that he had been drafted by the Clippers. Although his first choice is the Los Angeles Lakers, it is also a hometown team, and it is every NBA player's dream to play in his hometown.

However, this made Indiana's Larry Bird frustrated, and he didn't expect the Clippers to cut off the beard. This is a player that Larry Bird is very optimistic about!

So, he immediately called over to the Clippers to ask for a trade.

But Li Zhen did not agree. Instead, Thomson asked him, "Would you be interested in getting Chris Kaman?" ”

Chris Carman is a standard centre-forward, and he still has an elite level.

So, Big Bird was excited.

Since the Clippers were posturing a fire sale, a consensus was quickly reached.

The Clippers demanded Dundee Jones, a top-10 protected pick in the first round next year, and a $4 million trade exception.

It's a great deal.

Larry Bird didn't think about it, directly agreed, and immediately announced, for fear that the Clippers would regret it.

The Clippers repented.

The Clippers are now resolutely pursuing Lee's rejuvenation strategy. An old-fashioned bulky center like Chris Carman, who possesses the ball, rushed away.

And, most importantly.

Li Zhen always had a feeling. The 2011 Pacers draft pick is worth it!!

But he didn't know where the value was.

All in all, the deal was made and soon announced.

Immediately, Thomson, under the command of Li Zhen, peddled another center forward of the team, defensive titan Marcus Camby.

Soon, get the buyer.

With Greg Oden once again in the operating room, the Trail Blazers had to plan ahead.

Marcus Camby became their best pick in the draft market.

In the end, they sent point guard Blake, small forward Outlaw and 1.5 million in cash.

The deal was closed quickly.

No one expected that on draft night, it was the Clippers who made the most trade moves. And... It's a super decisive way to start rebuilding.

Byron Davis, Marcus Camby, and Chris Carman were all sent away.

Is this about clearing up salary space to fight for James?

There is a lot of speculation outside.

The Clippers did not respond.

They randomly picked a power forward with the 57th pick to complete the final operation. This is also dispensable for them, and they won't sign up anyway.

At this time, the basic lineup of the Clippers has begun to take shape.

DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin, Eddie Griffin, Milišić...... These are the Clippers' four interior lines. All four have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they are all talented players who can maintain their strength above the league average at the moment.

On the front line: Elsorton, Dunta Jones, Outlaw, Smith, Novak, Hayward, Paul George.

There's only one point guard on the point line, Steve Blake, who just got traded.

Li Zhen glanced at the list.

There's still a deal to be made.

There's a lot of overlap between the players on the front line.

However, there is no rush now.

This kind of petty trade is easy to happen, and the point is that the Clippers have a pair of guards who have a skill set and are easy to trade: each takes what he needs and makes a stitch trade.

Now, Li Zhen has the meaning of watching the fire from the other side.

He wants to see how the big drama of summer will be played.

"I'm going to Saipan tomorrow for a holiday, and I'm going to be there for about a month to spend time with my family."

Li Zhen said to Isaiah Thomas.

"Tomorrow, the team will officially announce your arrival."

"At the press conference, you can say that you are responsible for these transactions. I'm sure tonight's doubts will turn into compliments. ”

Li Zhen said to Thomas before leaving.

The smiling assassin cocked his chin slightly, this was his habitual pretending action, he felt... It's all back.

Only Thomson doesn't know what's going on: it's obviously Bruce who is operating, Thomas has been searching for photos of macho men on his phone, how can it be said that it is Isaiah's handwriting?

This is the tacit understanding between Li Zhen and Thomas.

Li Zhen didn't want to explain the red tape, let alone the logic of the transaction.

He just does things intuitively.

Moreover, the spotlight made him resist.

So, of course, the best candidate is Isaiah Thomas.

Otherwise, why would the team spend millions of dollars on him?

Isaiah was very happy with the work, and he liked to pretend.

……

The day after the draft came to an end. The Boston Celtics announced that they have signed extensions with Ray Allen and Paul Pearce, and the Dallas Mavericks have also signed Novitzki.

These players who entered the league in the late 90s have a strong mark of the times, and they have not turned into the concept of the wind.

Rather... Miami is changing.

Some media pointed out that Dwyane Wade is interested in returning to his hometown team and going hand in hand with Derrick Rose.

Dwyane Wade's agent is actually Bosh's agent, and he is there to talk about Wade's intention to change to a new environment.

This annoyed Pat Riley.

That's when he realized he had stolen the back door.

And then.

The god operator showed his ability as a super trader, in the case of Chris Bosh's miss. He threw the olive branch directly to Amarestad Mayer.

Stoudemire announced that he is joining Miami with an annual salary of $100 million over five years.

Now, Pat Riley has the initiative.

He even directly told the media: "If Dwyann needs to change the environment, I am even willing to offer him the condition of signing first and then removing." ”

However, he told Phil Jackson in private: "If you want Dwyane Wade, you have to trade Mark Gasol!" ”

The old fox deserves to be the old fox.

After taking Stoudemire and then getting Gasol Jr., the Heat has begun to take shape.

It can still attract LeBron James to join, and even if LeBron James doesn't come, it can create problems for New York in the East.

The point is.

In addition to Marc Gasol, he also wants Francisco, Eric Gordon, Dragic.

Because only when all these people are added up can they match Wade's annual salary of 20 million.

This is to hollow out the original team of the Knicks.

As we all know, the Knicks are tough because they have an all-out elite roster, a strong interior and a legendary commander.

Now, will Stoudemire plus Gasol Jr. be worse than Zachrandolph plus Gasol Jr.?

Plus Dragic, Eric Gordon, Francisco.

James may not be coming to Miami.

Phil Jackson and Jerry West were counter-generalized.

They hurriedly sent a signal to James' team.

James never let go.

This put the two of them in a difficult situation of riding a tiger.

At the same time, their 'old rival', Isaiah Thomas, who has always hovered in New York, announced his move to the Clippers in Los Angeles.

And, he told the media: "That's right. Last night's trade and draft were all made by me. ”

"Look at the current roster of the Clippers, no team is stronger than us, and we can even put together two very different starting teams."

Isaiah Thomas flies with confidence on TV.

Really.

The TV pundits, the basketball pundits, turned around.

Instead, he boasted: "It's the handiwork of Isaiah Thomas." ”

"The Smiling Assassin's skill at cage for bird is unrivaled, and while others are still thinking about a super deal, he has secretly built a strong team for the Clippers."

"Little Jordan, two Griffins, Milicic... Could this be another new set of super inside combinations? ”

"Look at their front line, the salary is reasonable, the attack and defense are combined, and the strength is strong. I should have understood that only Isaiah could have done this!! ”

“……”

All of a sudden, praise erupted.

Of course, the media is more focused on the problem.

"Will Bruce join the Los Angeles Clippers?"

Recently, many media have photographed Li Zhen appearing in Los Angeles. Moreover, his super Chinese-style building has begun to take shape after a year of construction, and it is estimated that it will be officially put into use in another year and a half.

Moreover, the news of Jack Lee's stake in the Clippers has been a hot topic in the league. Everyone is speculating that the Clippers will be Lee's next home.

It's just that Li Zhen never accepts interviews.

So, the question can only be lost to Isaiah Thomas.

Thomas replied calmly: "My answer to this question is no comment." ”

"I just want to say. We've never pursued anyone, and we're not superstitious about superstar teambuilding. In my basketball philosophy, team... That's the most important thing. ”

Thomas is still talking to himself.

But his appearance gave a great stimulus to the two careerists in New York.

Seeing that Thomas began to build a strong team again, Phil Jackson and Jerry West were impatient.

They finally made a decision, trade!

And so a blockbuster deal was born.

At the same time, LeBron James also announced that he would be doing an unprecedented live TV broadcast to announce his decision.

The summer turmoil has finally come to the most**!
