Chapter 503 [Changing Draft, Unlucky Hair Small]

Guo Xu has already sent his optimistic three rookie profiles to Brian Colangelo, two goals, one alternative.

On this day, Brian called back and told Guo Xu a good news. "I've contacted Payton's agent, and he's willing to join the two-year veteran base salary."

Peyton is not short of money, and he wants to avoid the tragedy of Barkley, Ewing and others right now. If he didn't have a championship ring in his career, no matter how explosive the data was, saying that he was a superstar would be questioned.

After chatting with the boss for a while, Guo Xu called Peyton again, and the two became acquainted after becoming teammates, so it was better to greet them in advance.

"Hi Gary."

"Hello, Jason." Peyton's voice was filled with excitement.

"Welcome to the Suns, let's build a dynasty together in the new season, with you, our last weakness has been made up."

"I promise to complete the tasks assigned by the coaching staff......"

Payton's speed is indeed slow, but the opponent's point guard can't be fast all the time, and when he encounters the fast Guo Xu, Payton should have an advantage over the bench for a while, and he doesn't have to take on a lot of responsibilities like he did when he was with the Lakers.

After a few pleasantries, Guo Xu gave Payton a reassurance, although he was like a loser who came to hug his thighs, Guo Xu respected him very much, and the team also needed him.

The skinny camel is bigger than the horse, Payton was a super point guard back then, and Jordan was the main defense in the Finals. He can help the young players a lot on the defensive end and teach them valuable experience. On offense, Payton is also a back-to-back master who can teach the Suns a few interior lines.

For these roles alone, he is worth an annual salary of 2 million, and the veteran's basic salary is two years, and the sun has made a lot of money.

As a result, management's plans need to change accordingly, and the team doesn't need to pick a rookie guard. Originally, Bryan felt that it was unreliable to draft a rookie point guard, and wanted to find a veteran in the free market because there were too many young players on the team.

Last year, management didn't sign a veteran because the powerful people in the free market didn't look down on the Suns, and this year is different, there are definitely a lot of people who want to join the defending champions, and it's the management that picks someone else.

Brian traded a second-round pick, leaving only the last first-round pick and a second-round pick he received from the Knicks that year, a little higher. Guo Xu proposed to choose an inside lineman and a swing man.

Guo Xu and Meghan currently live at the Hilton Hotel, enjoying various benefits and VIP services, because the Robert family is also a shareholder of the Hilton Hotel. These venture capitalists have no taboos, they can get involved in any industry, as long as they make money.

Guo Xu met Robert's eldest brother and sister and had a meal together, and they all admired Guo Xu's idea of film and television entertainment plus catering group and peripheral products, and regarded him as a promising partner.

On June 24, the 2004 NBA Draft was held in the theater of Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Guo Xu and Meghan sat on the sofa while watching live TV, while masturbating "Steve" and "Bucky".

Now Megan agrees that it is better to have a cat than a dog, the main thing is to be obedient, not to run around and not to dismantle the house, these two breeds just happen to be the more honest among cats.

David Stern was booed by the fans when he spoke, and then the draft officially began.

Center Dwight Howard, who ran as a high school student, was picked by the Magic with the No. 1 pick, and this year is the last conference to feature a high school student, and his winning the No. 1 pick is significant.

The Magic team always seems to be keen on selecting a forward, and they are also good at building a system with a center as the core, and they are also keen to give it to the Lakers after they are trained......

In Guo Xu's previous life, Howard had a very high starting point, and thanks to his "Warcraft"-like physical fitness, he quickly became a star. In terms of talent, in addition to his short height, he is not inferior to the "big shark" in other aspects, and it is a pity that his professional attitude and personality have become the biggest obstacle to his advancement to a historic center.

The Bobcats signed center Emeka Okafor, and even if Jordan wanted to pick a high school student, he couldn't choose this time, so the league gave the Bobcats a list.

Before the draft began, many people thought that Okafor would be the champion, because it is very risky to select a high school player as the champion, although Howard has good athletic talent, but there are many talented people who have not played before, such as high jumper Swift, and Kwame Brown, who was famous all over the country in high school.

Okafor's performance in college was outstanding, and he was known for his excellent character and academics, both offensively and defensively. The junior center from the University of Connecticut, a 2004 NCAA championship winner and a Final Four MOP, was thought to be the next Duncan.

Magic management considered Okafor, but gave up on his height. Okafor registered a false height of 210CM, but in fact, he wore shoes less than 205CM.

The Bulls, who have been rotten for years, were lucky enough to draw the lottery and selected two-way guard Ben Gordon.

Gordon has a comprehensive offensive approach, can shoot well, and is indeed an excellent offensive player, but on the defensive end, he is limited by his height and is easy to be eaten, and 191CM is mainly a scoring guard.

THE FOURTH-PICK CLIPPERS SELECTED HIGH SCHOOL TALENT SHAUN LIVINGSTON, A 201CM TALL AND 83-KILOGRAM POINT GUARD.

Before the draft, Livingston often compared to Howard, a basketball talent who swept the United States, with some saying he played like "Penny" Hardaway, and others expected him to be the second "Magic".

Livingston was so stunned that he turned down the invitation of Coach K, gave up the opportunity to play at Duke University, and entered the draft directly as a high school student.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Livingston failed to realize his talent and became a famous "glass man". His broken leg against the Bobcats was the most terrifying injury moment in NBA history, but he overcame the injury and psychological shadow with strong will, returned to the court, and eventually joined the Warriors as Curry's backup and helped the team win a championship.

Guo Xu felt that Livingston should have had a better life, but he ruined himself, and it was impossible to adapt to the NBA-level confrontation when he was so thin, he went to college to practice for two years, and he might become a star in the NBA if he was stronger. No matter how comprehensive his skills are now, he can't become a "magician", he is a strong man, and he is a dry chicken.

The fifth Hawks drafted Josh Childres, and the Wizards drafted Devin Harris. The draft positions of the two teams have changed, but the people selected have not changed, and they are all players who are optimistic after the trial.

THERE WAS A HUGE CHANGE IN THE SEVENTH PLACE, AND THE WARRIORS DRAFTED ROL DUN, A 206CM TALL AND 100-KILOGRAM SMALL FORWARD.

This is a player with All-Star potential, a well-rounded skill, a selfless style of play, and a great defense.

In Guo Xu's previous life, after Luo Erdeng joined the Bulls, the team quickly rose. Guo Xu couldn't help but want to mourn for a minute of silence for his "little hair" Jason Richardson.

What kind of luck is this? There are a lot of butterfly effects, and the failed drafts of the Bulls' previous life have happened, but the better ones have missed.

No way, in the previous life, the Bulls traded with the Knicks in exchange for the No. 7 pick, and selected Rohr Deng. That draft pick originally belonged to the Suns, but it was traded to the Knicks in the previous big trade involving Marbury and Hardaway.

The Suns completed a trade with the Knicks in the summer of 2003, and they didn't send the half-scraped Hardaway, and they didn't exchange for McDyce, who was recuperating from injuries, many things were different, and a series of butterfly effects, the Bulls could no longer choose Rohr Deng.

The Bulls' lineup is unreasonable, lacking wing defenders, and they will definitely not be strong in the future. Guo Xu can only wait for the future to find an opportunity to pull Richardson, looking at this situation, he will be regarded as a cancer sooner or later, and it should not be difficult to trade it.
