Nets General Manager Billy. Jin Man's mind is full of sassy operations.

Since last season's mid-season trade to get DeLong. Williams post-Billy. King has always fantasized about building the Nets into a superpowerhouse. His idea was simple – to build a giant team.

Just look at the achievements of the Heat Big Three, and you can see that the rules of the game have changed dramatically in this league. The single-core + role player or even dual-core + role player team building model is outdated, and in this era, as long as you can accumulate enough stars, you can win enough games!

Although the Heat triumvirate did not win the championship in the end, the combination reached the Finals in a devastating way in the first year. In Billy. In Kim's view, such a result is already very attractive.

Moreover, the owner of the Russian tycoon, who has only been in office for one year on the Nets, has said more than once, "We are not short of money, we are short of the championship." Don't save me. ”

The boss, who is willing to spend money to win the championship and will soon participate in the race for the president of Russia, makes Billy even more popular. Some of the gold is top, some are floating. With a big benefactor behind him, he will not be bound by any shackles.

However, due to the collective bargaining this summer, and the fact that there are no big fish in the free agent market itself. So, Billy. Kim can't simply and crudely make up for it by throwing money at it. Therefore, his first choice now is to build the giant team of his dreams through a trade!

The draft is the starting point for each team's summer trade.

This year, the Nets only have one first-round pick and the 27th pick. In Billy. In the eyes of a general manager like Kim, who only recognizes star players, he doesn't know what to do with the draft picks at the end of the first round. A 27th pick, can you pick an All-Star straight away?

Yes, yes, but the odds are so small that it's about the same as scratching a lottery ticket. The teams with the top picks are all lottery picks, let alone late first-round picks.

Until a day ago, Billy. Kim heard a rumor, and that's when he found the magic of the 27th pick.

Trade a 27th pick for a rookie that year...... No matter how you look at it, it seems to be a particularly good deal.

Link in with Jeff. The day after Austin met, he received a qualification offer from the Grizzlies. This means that the Grizzlies have the right to match any contract offered by other teams.

Next up is Link's long vacation. From June to mid-July, Link can enjoy his vacation and eat, drink and be merry everywhere. From mid-July onwards, Link participates in a variety of business activities. Although it is to participate in business activities, it is also to eat, drink and have fun, and it is also to eat, drink and have fun when someone pays for it.

From mid-August, the life of eating, drinking, and merrymaking will come to an end. Link will find a few well-known trainers to help him train, and if he can, Link will also ask Kobe Bryant and Paul. George and the others train together and participate in some star training camps or star ball games.

If he wants to play official matches and stay fit, Link doesn't mind playing in the Euroleague to keep himself in shape. As for CBA...... Well...... As long as you are not too short of money, you generally don't choose to play in the CBA......

When that's all over and NBA preseason training camp is almost underway, Link and the Grizzlies will continue their journey next season.

Thinking about it this way, the next time Link plays an NBA game, it will be winter at that time. And now, it's just summer......

That's basically the arrangement of the whole holiday. At first glance, the arrangement is quite rich. But at the moment, Link's main concern is the draft.

Jeff. Austin said Chris. Wallace has taken care of Jimmy. Butler, which makes Link a little uneasy. He doesn't know if the Grizzlies have paid attention to Butler in their original history. But he knew that Jimmy. Butler ended up being picked by the Bulls with the 30th pick, and that guy couldn't have made it to the second round.

If Wallace really wants Butler, there could be a trade. But how exactly will the transaction be made, and whether the transaction will be successful. Link's unpredictable this.

Looking at the rookies who entered the little green house this year, Link couldn't help but sigh, it's really Nima Qiang!

In the outside world, 2011 is a draft year. And because of the labor negotiations, the attention of the draft has plummeted.

But looking at those familiar faces, Link felt that this year's draft was not small at all.

Kelly. Needless to say, Owen is the perfect choice. N'Golo Kante, who is predicted to be selected with the third pick, has not become a superstar, but his strength is acceptable. Valanciunas, who is fifth, is also a starting center forward above the qualified level.

Looking further back, the 11th rookie is even more incredible. Predict the ninth chosen Kemba. Walker, who is not very optimistic about the second generation of star Clay. Thompson, the two brothers Morris "goalkeeper" in the lotto, and the taciturn Kawai outside the lottery. Leonard.

It's not over yet, Tobias. Harris, Nikolai. Vucevic, Mirotic, Reggie. Jackson, Jimmy. Butler and Isaiah, who is almost unnoticed because he is too short. Thomas and so on...... Link counted casually, and he could count a bunch of characters who would call for wind and rain in the alliance in the future.

Is 11 years a draft year? From Link's point of view, the title is simply ridiculous.

The thought of so many well-known stars coming to the league and competing with them himself made Link a little excited. Next season, it's going to be even more fun.

Stuck in front of the TV, Link finally waited for the draft to begin, and although he had a successful season in the NBA, Link had never experienced what it was like to be drafted. To be honest, this is an irreparable regret.

But it would be good to not be in the draft, at least for now, his salary is higher than the top pick......

In David. Under Stern's stinky and long speech, the draft officially began. Mr. Stern's smile was particularly stiff today, and he must have been troubled by the labor negotiations.

Link was initially worried that his presence would mess up the order of the draft, after all, the butterfly effect is not out of the question. But fortunately, the drafts of other teams are basically the same as the original history.

With the first pick in the first round, the Cavaliers finally picked their next celestial pick, Kelly, after James. Irving.

In the second pick, the Timberwolves inevitably picked a parallel list. Kanter went to the Jazz with the third pick, and the Cavaliers won the "Eight Wise Kings" Tristan with the fourth pick. Thompson.

With the 11th pick, Thompson settled in the Warriors, and a new dynasty was about to begin. With the 15th pick, Popovich got Leonard in his dreams. The old man believes that this guy will be the ultimate weapon to defend Link next season. And just like that, the draft went on until the 27th pick, and the Nets played.

Since all previous teams have had the same draft results as they were in the original history, Link didn't care too much about the Nets' selection. He just wants to see what happens with the 30th pick in the first round.

While it's possible that nothing will happen, Link is looking forward to it.

As a result, when Stern announced the Nets' selection, Link was directly stupefied.

"The 27th pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets chose ....... Jimmy. Butler, from Marquette University! ”

"What!? Nets picked Butler!? "This change is something Link didn't expect, the Nets and Butler can't play together!

But no sooner had the announcement ended, than the TV announcers immediately announced, "There's a deal!" ”

"The Memphis Grizzlies sent O.J. Mayo, got Jimmy Butler from the Nets and former Lakers guard Jordan Farmar! O.J. Mayo was actually traded, and without warning, he was suddenly sent to Brooklyn! The Grizzlies really made a move, and it looks like they're going to completely correct Link! But isn't it a bit of a loss to trade Mayo for just a 27th pick rookie and an average role player guard? ”

Link laughed happily, Grizzly Bear is a big loss, a big loss. This kind of loss, please Grizzly Bear eat a little more in the future.
