Chapter 295: The Difference Between Tang Tian and James (3/5)
"Don, Harrison will challenge you."
Walker noticed Barnes' gaze and spoke.
Tang Tian nodded.
Walker's words reminded him of something.
If history hadn't changed, the Warriors, who had already acquired Curry and Thompson, would have risen.
Even because Thompson is training with him now, the Warriors may be able to rise a little faster.
Barnes joined the Warriors, but he really had some grudges that continued from college to the NBA.
And when the Warriors rise, the Spurs are just weakening, and the challenge will be very big at that time.
But he was even more excited when he thought about it.
The past two years have made him realize the benefits of a youthful mindset.
The more challenging it is, the more exciting it is, and the more exciting it is, the more fun it is!
"This guy really can!" Walker couldn't help but say at this time.
That's when the Pistons used their No. 9 pick to select Connectn's freshman Drummond.
"He could."
Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.
Drummond's physical gifts are among the best among centers.
If he had joined Kangda a year earlier, and with their original trio, Kangda would have been able to win the championship all the way.
The 10th pick still belongs to the Hornets, which they acquired last year after trading Paul.
They chose Austin Rivers, the son of Celtics head coach Doug Rivers, freshman Austin Rivers.
He averaged 15.5 points per game, making him the third freshman scoring champion in Duke history.
The only regret is that Duke was knocked out in the first round this year, which made his draft market much worse than expected.
The Trail Blazers selected Meyers Leonard with the 11th pick.
The Rockets, who followed with the 12th pick, chose Jeremy Lamb.
"Oh! 12th pick! He went to Houston! ”
Walker reached out and patted Tang Tian at this time.
The 12th pick is a lottery show, and the Rockets are the team that Yao Ming has stayed in.
Tang Tian smiled and nodded.
He doesn't know if history will change, and if it doesn't, then Harden will be traded to the Rockets, and Lamb is one of the chips in that deal.
Of course, he couldn't have said such a thing.
"yes, that's a pretty good place, there's nothing new at the shooting guard position." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.
"Let's go down and say hello to him!"
Walker said and stood up.
Tang Tian nodded and stood up.
When they went down, Drummond and Lamb were together.
"Jeremy, we're rivals next season!"
Walker went up and gave Lamb a small punch in the chest.
"You're going to fight Andre more." Lamb turned to Drummond.
It can be seen that the relationship between the two is not bad.
Drummond greeted Tang Tian and Walker with a smile.
Most of the players in the NBA are from the NCAA, so alumni are really important in this league.
"Congratulations, Jeremy." Tang Tian also congratulated Lamb at this time.
"Thank you, Don." When Lamb saw Tang Tian, his eyes suddenly became respectful.
If it weren't for Tang Tian, he would not have been able to break through himself, and he would not even have progressed this season.
"Join us in training." Tang Tian suddenly spoke.
"Yes, I didn't think of that! I'll go find a few more people, and we can play the whole game! Walker also patted his thigh and said.
"We've got summer league yet, maybe in August." Lamb spoke at this point.
This reminded Tang Tian and Walker that this year is no longer a shutdown season, and if you are a rookie, you will be busy at the beginning.
While they were chatting, the first-round draft was almost over.
Marshall was drafted by the Suns with the 13th pick, John Hansen with the Bucks with the 14th pick, Tyler Zeller with the Mavericks with the 17th pick, and Myles Plumlee with the 26th pick by the Pacers.
All of these North Carolina players made it to the first round.
The Spurs didn't have a draft pick this year because they traded the first round last year.
The first round is over, and the second round is also very fast.
Tang Tian noticed several key choices.
The Mavericks selected Jae Crowder with the 34th pick.
The Warriors selected Draymond Green with the 35th pick.
The Pistons selected Chris Middleton with the 39th pick and sent him to the Bucks.
These are a few of the options that could change the landscape of the league in the future.
To be honest, this year's first round of the show was not very good, but these two rounds are really better than the other.
Because of his professional habits, Tang Tian was the general manager of the team in his previous life, and at this time he couldn't say the itch in his heart.
At this time, the Spurs can make a draft pick at the end of the first round and the beginning of the second round, and he can make it one of the best operations in team history.
It seems that he will have to find a way to gain a voice in the management of the team in the future.
Players are commodities in league management, which is why James would try to interfere with management's decision-making.
Who would be willing to be traded as a commodity and then at the mercy of others?
A lot of the time, James tries to push the boundaries of a player.
That's right, from a player's point of view.
But the problem with James is that he doesn't have that vision, and many times the so-called choice is actually a bit cheating.
But Tang Tian is different, if he intervenes, with his identity of crossing, it will definitely make a lot of money.
The Spurs used their only draft pick with the 60th pick to select Marcus Dammon, a senior at the University of Missouri.
This kind of order is actually to choose to see, without Tang Tian's eyes, the possibility of Isaiah Thomas's inspirational story happening a second time is too low.
The Spurs finished their selection, and the 2012 NBA Draft officially came to an end.
The draft is over, followed by the free agent market in July.
Tang Tian and Walker continued to train together, but he also paid attention to the dynamics of this area.
This year's free agent market should be the year with the fewest free agents, and the biggest player is veteran Tim Duncan.
Although Duncan's probability of leaving the team was zero after winning the championship and winning the FMVP, he still became the biggest card again.
Then there are fellow veterans Steve Nash and Ray Allen.
Of course, there are also a number of restricted free agents, including Brook Lopez, Javier McGee, Batum, Jeremy Lin, and many more.
Both of them are likely to receive big contract offers from other teams, with the difference that their parent team has the right to match the contract.
Of course, compared with free agents, the biggest movement this year is "Warcraft" Howard.
The league's No. 1 center has admitted that he will not stay with the Magic, and if the Magic do, he will exercise his final-year player option.
That way, he will be a complete free agent next summer and leave the Magic naked, and the Magic will have nothing to gain and no money.
So the Magic trading Howard is already a given.
Who will end up with "Warcraft" is also the focus of attention of all fans.
