"I heard, you're going to trade the King's No. 13 pick?"

Grunfield, the general manager of the Wizards, looked at Wang Xiao and asked.

"Hmm." Wang Xiao nodded lightly, took a sip of coffee, and sat on the seat with a comfortable face. "Do you want coffee?"

"Don't!" Grunfield looked at Wang Xiao, his face was a little not good-looking.

Grunfield is very happy as the general manager of the team's victory, after all, this is a very glorious stroke in his resume.

But there are still some minor flaws in this.

There are many people who think that he, the general manager, has nothing to do with furnishings.

The players of the team are all selected or traded by Wang Xiao, and the team's daily training and tactical arrangement are also the responsibility of the coach, which really has nothing to do with him, the general manager.

Such remarks made Grenfield very unhappy.

What made him unhappy was that he had received the news that the team owner was very satisfied with the Wizards team coached by Wang Xiao and was ready to renew his contract with Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao led the team with excellent results, and the style of play is gorgeous and beautiful, it can be regarded as the best team in the league, and it is impossible for any owner to let Wang Xiao go as long as he is not a fool.

But Wang Xiao's continued stay with the Wizards is not good news for Glenfield, which means that Wang Xiao will continue to have the right to make draft and trade decisions, and take away the rights that should belong to the general manager.

What's worse is that Wang Xiao's every draft and every transaction in the past three years has been a sure win, which makes Grenfield have no confidence and reliance at all when negotiating.

If Wang Xiao renews a long-term contract with the team, then this situation will continue in the next few years.

"You know, that's the No. 13 lot, not the champion sign." Grenfell looked at Wang Xiao and said: "The transaction value of this first-round pick is not high, it is better to stay and choose a potential player for development." ”

"There's nothing worth developing in 12 years of rookie."

Wang Xiao's understatement floated a sentence, which made Grunfield couldn't help but jump.

"How could it not be? The team is currently lacking interior players like Andre. Drummond, John. Hansen, Taylor. Zeller and these big men are very good, and they can be selected to be trained well. ”

Drummond Wang Xiao still knows, what Hansen Zeller's, Wang Xiao has never heard of.

Glancing at Grunfield, Wang Xiao asked a little strangely. "Mr. General Manager, are you idle?"

"You!"

Grunfield choked and almost lost his breath.

Idle? Nonsense, of course labor and management are idle! Who do you think made me idle?

Glenfield realized that he was really idle when he came to find Wang Xiao, and this Huaxia kid would not pay attention to what he said at all, nor would he operate the transaction according to his own ideas.

What's worse is that Wang Xiao has the right to decide the transaction, which is written into the contract, and he has nothing to do.

Even he can't make a small report in front of his boss.

Wang Xiaocai led the team to win the championship, and the Wizards became the most beautiful and gorgeous team in the league under his tutelage, and the salary situation is also one of the healthiest teams in the league! The team's highest annual salary next season is Caron. Butler!

The Wizards have never been so good! This made Grunfield not even know how to slander Wang Xiao.

There is nothing more desperate in the world than this!

……

The NBA Draft officially began on June 29, 2012 at Madison Square.

After Stern read out his tirade opening remarks, as is customary, the draft began.

Somewhat different from another time and space, this year's No. 1 pick is the Charlotte Bobcats, who have the lowest record in the league and have won only 7 games, the Hornets who lost Paul only won the No. 1 pick, and the Cavaliers who won the Moon.

The Bobcats used the top pick to pick Anthony. Davis, there is no doubt that this choice will be a comeback battle for the black hole of the draft for many years by Boss Joe, but obviously it is not the credit of Jordan's insight, Anthony. Davis can be considered a standout among the 12 rookies, just like Oden in '07, and there are no surprises.

Draft template for Kevin. Garnett's Anthony. Davis is amazingly talented, has a stronger body than Garnett, and can dominate the interior on both ends of the floor, making him an obvious choice in this era of lack of a strong interior line.

The Hornets lost Davis and could only choose Damien with the Eye Pick. Lillard.

Lillard went from the sixth pick to the top pick, but it made sense.

After the Hornets sent Paul to the Clippers, they got shooting guard Eric from the Clippers. Gordon, small forward Aminu and Carman.

What they need now is a point guard to replace Paul's vacancy, not players in other positions, so the original stars Gilchrist and Tanhua Beal are not on their radar.

The third-pick Cavaliers drafted the physically fitted small forward Gilchrist, which was clearly a poor choice, and Gilchrist, who was the second-pick in another plane, clearly didn't particularly deserve his pick.

In the subsequent draft, Beal was drafted by the Pistons, Barnes was drafted by the Warriors, and Andre was drafted by the Warriors. Drummond is favored by the Timberwolves.

Wang Xiao silently watched the draft meeting, but his mind was not on it.

Finally, the draft came to the thirteenth pick.

This is a draft pick that belongs to the Kings, but it was traded to the Wizards last season, and according to Harden's performance with the Kings, it is definitely a surefire deal, even if the Wizards selected Leonard with last year's picks from the Kings, and there is a 13th pick this year.

However, if Wang Xiao uses this signing to select a player with full potential again, then it is debatable whether this deal will be profitable......

"The Washington Wizards' selection is...... Guard Jeremy from the University of Connecticut. Lamb! ”

Lamb came to the stage with a confused look and shook hands with Stern for a photo, but he couldn't react when he got off the court.

"Why did the Wizards pick me? Could it be that Wang Xiao is optimistic about me? Lamb's heart fluttered, and he had already begun to fantasize about a bright future.

It's not surprising that he has such an idea, after all, the players who are favored by Wang Xiao can play at a high price, especially the rookies in the lottery area, Curry, Harden, George, Thompson, and Leonard.

But many media outlets were dumbfounded.

Why did Wang Xiao choose another backcourt player?

The Wizards are not lacking in the backcourt now, Curry and Thompson are firmly in the starting position, there are Beverley and Thomas Jr. on the bench, and the two Butlers on the front line are also capable of scoring guards.

In this case, what is the use of choosing a Lamb?

What the Wizards need most now is to add blue-collar players on the inside, not to continue to build up their offensive firepower on the outside.

Wang Xiao's operation was completely incomprehensible.
