On June 24, 1995, the NBA draft was underway.

Next season's NBA will expand from 27 to 29 teams with the addition of the Toronto Raptors and Vancouver Grizzlies.

In order to add players to these two new teams, the NBA will hold an expansion draft, or expansion draft.

The two new teams receive draft picks based on a coin flip as well as an expansion draft pick.

The Vancouver Grizzlies tossed a coin to win, so they got the No. 6 pick in this year's draft, while the Toronto Raptors were the No. 7 pick.

At the same time, the Vancouver Grizzlies will also have priority in selecting players from other teams.

Now there are a total of 27 teams in the NBA, and each team will have eight protected lists, and players who are not on these eight protected lists, except for free agents, can only choose one from each team if they choose these two teams, so the Grizzlies will get 14 chances, while the Raptors will get 13 chances.

Although each team has eight protected rosters to protect the interests of each original team to the greatest extent, for many playoff teams like the Bulls, Rockets, and Lakers, such an expansion draft is very disgusting.

Most of these strong teams are rotated with nine people and ten people, even if they protect eight, they will lose blood.

For example, the Vancouver Grizzlies were the first to select the Bulls' main point guard, BJ Armstrong.

The Bulls are arguably the team with the strongest roster in the NBA, and they are also the worst in the face of such an expansion draft.

In the end, the Bulls weighed in and chose Steve Kerr among starting point guard BJ Armstrong and backup guard Steve Kerr.

Steve Cole is just as important as BJ Armstrong this season.

But next season, instead of playing the triangle offense and returning the ball to Jordan's Bulls, Steve Kerr is obviously much better than Armstrong.

However, even so, if the Bulls could be given a choice, the Bulls would definitely not want to lose their team's starting point guard.

In the face of such an expansive draft, the Bulls are entangled, and the Lakers are also extremely entangled.

Lin Han, Magic, Eddie Jones, Van Exel, Wilkins, Rodman, these six people are definitely to be protected.

Van Exel still has to wait for the trade market to open and send him to the Nuggets in exchange for Mutombo.

And to whom are the remaining two places of protection?

Lin Han also has two very good, very good brothers in the Lakers, Aaron Williams and Antonio Harvey.

If these two people are chosen, Lin Han will definitely be very unhappy, but if these two people are protected, then what should Trevoluffin do?

Naturally, Jerry West would not discuss with Lin Han on the protection list, and it was absolutely impossible for the wicked to let Lin Han be the one.

So in the end, Jerry West protected Aaron Williams and Antonio Harvey.

Trevorufen, an important rotation player for the Los Angeles Lakers last season, was put out of the protected list with Lin Han's duo in Finals scoring ahead of Jordan and Pippen.

Not surprisingly, after the Vancouver Grizzlies selected BJ Armstrong, the Toronto Raptors also selected Trevolofin away.

No matter how short Trevoluffin is, he was the best sixth man of last season, and his scoring ability is quite outstanding.

Arguably the best player in this expansion draft other than BJ Armstrong.

Therefore, after the completion of this expansion draft, the two teams that played in the Finals last season, the Bulls and Lakers became the biggest losers.

Especially the Lakers, now the whole world knows that the Lakers have completed the draft of the Van Exels and Mutombo trade with the Nuggets, and the documents are already being approved, and the deal will be officially completed when the trade day opens.

Now that the Lakers don't have the starting point guard Van Exel and the backup point guard Trevolofin, the No. 1 spot on this team is completely out of order, which is even worse than the Bulls look.

After knowing that he was drafted by the Toronto Raptors, Trevoluffin cried.

Based on his performance last season, as long as he plays next season and his two-year rookie contract expires, he can get a good salary with the Lakers and become a rich man in Los Angeles.

It's good now, I was actually chosen to a bitter cold place like Toronto, and it's not the United States anymore, okay!

You know, he's a New Yorker!

A New Yorker who wanted to be a rich man in Los Angeles ended up in Toronto.

Lin Han also sighed when he saw off his little brother.

Trevoluffin was originally Rodman's younger brother, but later followed Rodman with him.

Even though his relationship with Ruffin was not as close as that of Eddie Jones and Aaron Williams, he was still reluctant to let him go.

Trevoluffin's strength is really good, especially his three-point shot, which is definitely a quasi-first-class existence in the current league.

It's much more reliable than Fan's three points.

He's just a little shorter, and his offensive skills are pretty good.

While playing sixth man on a championship team may be a bit of a stretch, playing sixth man on a strong team or even starting a lottery team is perfectly fine.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have won the Sixth Man of the Year trophy last season, he was a rookie last season.

The rookie's best sixth man, this potential is also very good.

In the end, it can only be said that Jerry West still understands his heart, and gave up the stronger Trevolufen, leaving the best relationship with him.

"Trevaux, don't think about it so much, it doesn't matter if you get to Toronto, as long as you behave well and play your worth, you will definitely be able to come back in the future"

"Boss ......"

"Don't be frustrated, you must play your worth, the Toronto Raptors are a new team, you are the best sixth man, and you are also a championship player, in the Raptors, don't be humble, you should be the leader of the Raptors, even if you don't want the team's results, you have to ensure your own data, next year is your contract year"

"Also, pay attention to safety outside the field, don't be too wavey, it's better to smoke a little less"

"Boss ......"

"Trevaux, that's all I can say, I'm looking forward to your growth, and I hope you can get Jerry to beg you to accept the contract in Los Angeles in the future and stage the return of the king"

"Boss, I'll definitely be back!"

Seeing Trevoruffin's indignant look when he mentioned Jerry West, he knew that Jerry West had succeeded in helping him take the blame.

Trevoruffin left Los Angeles with a great grudge against Jerry West.

Lin Han hopes that he can brush up on more data in Toronto with these grievances, and also practice more leveling.

But for Jerry West, Trevoluffin's departure was just a small episode.

Trevoluffin's departure is a pity, but it's nothing more than a pity.

Although the Lakers no longer have a point guard to use, the team now needs money and space, and it is still the defending champion, and it is not difficult to sign a starter-level point guard from the free market.

There are still a lot of good point guards in the free market this year, such as Dana Barros, who averaged 20+7 per game last season.

The small point guard, who is only 1.8 meters tall, can be said to be an offensive reinforcement version of Trevoroffen.

For the Lakers, though, his height and defense are worse than Rufen's.

Moreover, as a Bostoner from Massachusetts, no team can compete with the Celtics.

Now there have been rumors that he is ready to return to Celtic and sign with Celtic.

However, if the Lakers are really ready to grab him, as long as they offer a contract that Barros is unlikely to refuse, the Los Angeles Lakers still have a chance.

In addition to Barros, another big-name point guard free agent is Scott Skels, the former NBA single-game record holder.

The now 32-year-old experienced point guard is also a good option, with excellent three-pointers, playmaking and just a little older.

However, in the Lakers, he is not required to be in control for a long time.

These two are two of the best No. 1 spots on the free market this year, and no matter who they take, they are great additions for the Lakers.

Even, if you don't just focus on the No. 1 position, but expand it a little more, the Los Angeles Lakers can even grab the Pistons' All-Star, Rodman's former teammate, and Finals MVP Joe Dumas!

Joe Dumas is not a guard who can only score in the pure sense, his outside skills are extremely comprehensive, scoring, organizing, defending, breaking, shooting, it can be said that there are no dead ends.

Even at this age, outside players are generally not very strong three-point shots, and Joe Dumas has now refined them.

After Isaiah Thomas' retirement, Joe Dumas was the Pistons' playmaker even for a long time.

Moreover, Joe Dumas is definitely not only powerful about his ability, but also his emotional intelligence is more terrifying than his ability.

In the bad boys' team back then, Joe Dumas could be said to be an outlier.

Jordan was played so badly by the Pistons that he was almost played out of the shadows, and in Jordan's mind, the most hated players have always been the Pistons' group of killers.

One of the most hated is Isaiah Thomas, the boss of the bad boys.

But for Joe Dumas, Jordan said bluntly, Joe Dumas is the player he respects the most, and he is also the best player in the entire NBA defense.

Before Lin Han came to the NBA, Joe Dumas was Jordan's best player to defend him.

In the Bad Boys, Joe Dumas was an outlier, his defense was clean and didn't do bad things, so Jordan respected him.

But in a group of bad guys, if you want to be an outlier, to be a good person, that's not quite it.

Joe Dumas has managed his style of play and the relationship within the team perfectly.

Even as a player on the Lakers now, super stabber Rodman is quite recognizable to Joe Dumas.

Arguably, in every way, Joe Dumas is one of the most consummate players in this league.

If Joe Dumas can be poached, this is the biggest success on the Lakers' free market!

Joe Dumas' five-year, 6 million contract with the Pistons expires this year, and in the next contract, Joe Dumas is definitely ready to get a big contract.

As the MVP of the Finals, Joe Dumas has a total career salary of less than $7 million, and it can be said that Joe Dumas is getting a salary far below his ability every year.

So, a high enough salary is enough to impress Jo Dumas.

This is the advantage of the Lakers, and now the Lakers have a terrible low contract because Lin Han is still holding a rookie contract, and the contracts of other players are also terrible, and the Lakers now have a lot of salary space to sign Joe Dumas.

As long as Joe Dumas is willing to leave the Pistons.

And this is also the biggest difficulty for the Lakers to sign Joe Dumas, Joe Dumas's own will!

As a member of the Bad Boys members, although Joe Dumas is a good boy among the Bad Boys members, his love for the Pistons is unquestionable.

Of course, money is important to get him out of the Pistons, but even more important than money is his own will.

In fact, after completing the Mutombo deal, Jerry West's biggest goal is to sign Joe Dumas.

Even after sending Trevoruffin to the Raptors, Jerry West personally brought Lin Han and Rodman to Detroit.

Joe Dumas is the Lakers' first choice to supplement the perimeter, and if they can get Joe Dumas, then either Barros or Skyles can be said to be the same existence.

Throughout the '90s, the Pistons were definitely one of the most legendary teams in the NBA, and no one could ignore the existence of the Pistons in the era of Monster Bird and Jordan.

Because, whether it's Magic, Big Bird or Jordan, they have all suffered a lot here in the Pistons.

It's one such team, and after the departure of the team's legendary head coach Chuck Daley, the team fell into a slump.

The team hasn't made the playoffs for three seasons.

The prestige that the Bad Boy Army had built up in the first place is now on the verge of disappearing.

The current Pistons have become a bullying team before Grant Hill arrived.

Even with Grant Hill's arrival, the team still didn't look good last season.

So, the Pistons changed coaches again.

The new coach hired is still Lin Han's old acquaintance, the Pistons' opponent back then, Bulls head coach Doug Collins.

Lin Han and Rodman came to Detroit, and they knew it as soon as Doug Collins, the new head coach of the Pistons.

Because Lin Han and Rodman came to poach Joe Dumas, Joe Dumas did not hide it from the Pistons.

Everyone met very openly.

This is also the request of Joe Dumas.

If the head coach of the team, the general manager, is not here, he will not talk to Lin Han about anything.

I have to say that in a place like the NBA, where the collective IQ is not very high, Lin Han is really the first time to see someone like Joe Dumas.

In the past, he had been taking advantage of Barkley's low IQ and pitting them for not knowing how much.

But now he found that Joe Dumas didn't seem to be such an easy person to pit.

At the very least, sowing discord or creating something out of nothing seems to have been spotted by Jo Dumas at the beginning......
