Chapter 204: Two Hours of Horror (Part II)

Mo Xi's words made Sprewell a little moved, but he was no longer a hairy boy in his twenties, Mo Xi's words seemed very empty, and there was no actual content, which made Sprewell feel very unsure, and empty checks have always been a common trick used by capitalists in New York.

For a time, the negotiations reached an impasse.

As the scene became silent for a while, Sprewell's wife Vicky had to come out frequently to find some topics, for a woman, a wife, a mother, New York is obviously a better choice than cold Minnesota, but this is her husband's choice, related to her husband's future, and the future of her family.

Spreville needs time and a push from some force.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon, two hours passed, and the draft officially began.

At the same time, in the gardens of Madison Square not far away, the crews of the various teams looked attentive as if they were facing a great enemy, this is a war, a war dominated by intelligence and luck.

David Stern stood in front of the stage with a warm smile on his face, and he knew that this year, a new batch of extremely talented youngsters would be added to the league, and it didn't get much better than that.

The first draft pick was the Cleveland Cavaliers, and when David Stern announced the start of the draft, they handed over their envelope with the top pick.

Everyone knows who Cleveland will choose, and there is almost no second answer, and the outcome was known from the time the top pick was announced, but people still gave polite applause, and the camera went directly to the young LeBron James.

David Stern opened the envelope and read out the first name.

"The Cleveland Cavaliers chose LeBron James, who is from Ohio and graduated from St. Vincent St. Mary's High School."

Suddenly, there was a lot of cheers from the stadium, even in front of the TV, especially the Ohio fans, for whom it was like a feast.

The cheers didn't subside for a long time, and so did LeBron James in the Little Green House, who stood up and walked up to the stage after a long interval of half a ring, hugging David Stern, putting on his hat and holding his jersey.

After a group photo, the results of the list are about to appear.

Anthony or Milicic, which one exactly?

The Nuggets already have Nene and Camby on the inside, Andre Miller on the point guard, but there is still a lack of fire on the front line, especially the offensive firepower, so it seems that Anthony has become their best choice.

However, there are always surprises.

Before Stern announced that the Nuggets could hand in the draft results, the phone rang in the Knicks manager's office.

"Mr. Thomas, it's done, Wallace has agreed to our proposed oversized contract"

Isaiah Thomas quickly put down the phone and immediately dialed another one.

"Dumas? Interested in making a deal with us? ”

Thirty seconds later, David Stern announced that the Nuggets had selected Carmelo Anthony with the second pick.

When they saw the news, for some reason, both Sprewell and Vicky breathed a sigh of relief, and Sprewell glanced at Mo Xi, only to find that the latter was still smiling.

Mo Xi pretended to be profound and said to Sprewell, "I think you'd better watch it." ”

How could things end so simply.

The Toronto Raptors prepare for the draft.

As a team outside of the United States, the Raptors naturally have a more favorable opinion of international players, so even if they are second, their forward line is also weak, and Milicic will be an option for them as well.

At this time, however, the deal appeared.

The New York Knicks blatantly traded Rasheed Wallace plus their first-round pick for the next two years to trade the Raptors' pick.

As soon as this news came out, the audience was in an uproar, not because of the deal itself, but because the Knicks offered Wallace a super-large contract of one point, five years and one hundred million, and in the current league, there are only three people with contracts like this. The Knicks are trying to lock up Rasheed Wallace.

Sprewell was also puzzled, and he cast an inquiring glance at Mo Xi, but this glance swept over, and he felt a chill.

Mo Xi didn't look at Sprewell, but said as if to himself: "We are always just players, but they are businessmen. ”

Sprewell shuddered, he didn't know what was going to happen next, he just knew that the next thing was the show time in New York.

After hesitating for twenty seconds, the Raptors manager intended to agree to the deal.

But before he could make the decision, he was told that the Knicks had canceled the deal and another deal had been confirmed.

It's a three-way deal, with the Pistons using next year's first-round pick and Memet Oku plus the Knicks' fourth draft pick and Dale Davis also including a portion of the cash trade for Carmelo Anthony, who was just drafted by the Nuggets, and the Pistons will get Rasheed Wallace, who just signed a big contract.

The Raptors boss scolded secretly, he was tricked!

The Pistons' last piece of the puzzle comes from the No. 4 position, they need an offensive point, they also need a No. 4 position, so the answer is almost ready, and they are even ready to trade, but the Knicks directly opened the price of the Raptors, and for a while, the No. 4 position that meets the needs of the Pistons, Rasheed Wallace and two rookies, Chris Bosh and Duck Milicic, are under the shroud of the Knicks.

The Knicks are making a big gamble, if the Pistons don't react, then the Knicks will hoard a lot of talented players at the No. 4 position, and with the presence of Moxi, it will be difficult for them to play at the level they should have, wasting two high-pick first-round picks in vain.

But Thomas, who has been teammates with Dumas for many years, clearly grasped the vein of the Pistons and hit the Pistons directly on the seven inches, from Dumas to Brown, they are not the kind of people who like to take risks, even if they may suffer some losses, they also want to get what they want.

This is a conspiracy in New York.

Everyone else present was terrified, although the Knicks had malicious signing behavior in this transaction, but this kind of courage and this kind of skill made them have to write the word "service".

However, they obeyed, and some people were very unhappy.

Sprewell squinted at Mo Xi and the others, and said, "So in the end, New York still chose the New York boys?" Am I out? ”

Mo Xi said: "No, I think it's the opposite, signing him is just for you, he only belongs to the future, and you, but you are the past and the present, even I am in the year of fighting, how can he become the main attacker." ”

The Knicks are still a team with Mercy after all, and Anthony's various excellent offensive skills are indeed powerful, but the problem is that it shows his superb offensive skills with the ball, and when Mercy is on the floor, it is clear that a championship team will not provide a rookie with a single ball strategy. This is also the strategic layout of George Carr.

The new season hasn't started yet, but people seem to be faintly seeing the Knicks' razor-sharp fangs.
