Chapter 162: Tactics for Stability

At the time of the draft, there was a saying that unless you were the top picker, you would always be a passive.

This is probably the mood of the Bulls at the moment.

The selected Derrick Rose is not only talented, capable, and handsome, but also very sensible and well-behaved.

With excellent emotional intelligence and talent, in this league, it is already half the battle.

The Bulls are probably the happiest of all with Hinrich.

Selecting Derrick Rose will definitely not let the champion play as a substitute, and Hinrich will not be able to play as a substitute, so that trade seems imperative.

Subsequently, the Miami Heat drafted Michael Beasley.

The Timberwolves drafted OJ Mayo.

The SuperSonics, who had just completed the move, changed their name to the Thunder and selected Russell Westbrook with the No. 4 pick.

The Memphis Grizzlies selected Kevin Love with the fifth pick.

Last year, McHale traded Garnett away, and a one-for-six trade with the Celtics was considered a stupid trade by many, but McHale made a trade in today's draft that was considered a smart one.

Although McHale liked Love, Love was clearly not worth the pick, so he chose Mayo because he knew that as long as he chose Mayo, there would be teams that would trade him for the Timberwolves.

The Grizzlies chose Love, so around Love and Mayo, the two teams made a big deal involving 8 people, McHale pushed Jarrich and Walker to each other, although the Timberwolves also ate the bad contracts of Collins and Cardinal, but the Timberwolves got McMiller, and the deal was obviously taken advantage of by the Timberwolves.

In fact, the Timberwolves will not necessarily choose Mayo if they want to choose a rookie, he and Foye have a conflict in the position, the Timberwolves have no intention of Mayo, but because of Mayo, they got Miller and Love, it seems that McHale is not stupid.

Because OJ Mayo is too famous, the No. 1 high school student in the United States, comparable to Kobe Bryant and James, no matter how you look at it, he is a superstar.

The draft was disturbed, and one player after another was picked out.

At this time, the players who sit in the small green room, but have not yet been selected by the lottery, look particularly embarrassed.

There was a big black man, his face was getting worse and worse, seeing that the first round was about to pass, he was stunned that no team wanted him, and he almost didn't cry out in grievance.

"How so?"

He muttered to himself, shaking his head in disbelief.

Stern picked up the last 30th note, he was desperate and dead.

"The 30th pick in the first round of the NBA2008 draft, the Philadelphia 76ers chose ......."

"Deandre Jordan."

What the?

The big black man subconsciously stood up, his face first in disbelief, then ecstasy, tears welling up in his eyes, and at that moment, he just wanted to thank the team who saved him from that damn little green room.

"Philadelphia 76ers? The overall winner? ”

Before Deandre Jordan walked up to the stage, he never expected that he would be the defending champion, and he looked up, as if he saw the young man in the box waving at him and smiling.

.......

The 76ers have chosen another big man, still a rough one.

Last year, the 76ers as a whole were three interior players in rotation, and all three of them were very strong and injury-free.

The media also didn't understand the operation of the 76ers, but now no one will easily spray the 76ers, and for no other reason, the face was swollen.

The royal media of the rocket, what Herald, Tribune, etc., blew a wave of rocket operations.

On the night of the 2008 NBA draft, the Houston Rockets executives showed a high level of strategic ability, and everything was in the hands of the Rockets. The Rockets didn't have time to say hello to first-round drafted French rookie Batum, so they sent the 19-year-old small forward to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for the Memphis Grizzlies' selected Donta Greeney (No. 28 rookie, 6-foot-11" power forward) and the Trail Blazers' Joey Dorsey (No. 33 rookie, a member of last year's NCAA college championship team), while also acquiring a second-round pick from the Grizzlies in '09.

One foreign player traded for two potential rookies, plus a second-round pick.

In addition, the Nets also made a trade, with the Nets trading Jefferson for Ejian United and Simmons, then selecting Brook Lopez with the 10th pick and Ryan Anderson with the 21st pick.

The Nets' two interior players, Christic and Diop, will be free agents, and the Nets drafted the interior to prepare for their departure, so that the Nets can free up enough space in 2010 to prepare for attracting a big name like James.

All the teams are moving, and the 76ers are a little quieter.

The 76ers were sold to the SuperSonics in the draft, and they ultimately selected Sasha Cowen, a seven-foot center from Russia.

Until the end of the draft, the 76ers did not make any extra moves, but just selected DeAndre Jordan, who accidentally fell from the lottery area to the 30th pick.

"That's right, stability is our style."

In an interview, Billy King was ashamed to say that the 76ers have always followed such a team-building policy, which is why they will be successful.

After listening to this, the reporters below secretly scolded Billy King for being shameless.

Believe you hell seeking stability, how did Al Harrington come about? How did Pau Gasol come about? Is it all for stability?

"Ahem, in short, in the new season, we will compete with last season's championship lineup, and we have a great chance of defending the title!"

After the draft, experts from all walks of life made predictions for next year's best rookie.

Pundit Tosten Boxs thinks it will be the most competitive in the last five years, with Trail Blazer's Oden the best chance to win the jackpot. "There are more top rookies entering the NBA this year than there are top players entering Yale, and the Portland Trail Blazers are leading the way."

No team can beat the Portland Trail Blazers in terms of the number of rookie of the Year candidates, from 19-year-old college students who played a successful season, to established stars in Europe, to potential centers who missed last season due to injury.

Boks believes that Rose does not have the physical strength to complete high-quality playing time, which limits him to being the best rookie, Beasley is expected to score 20+10 stats, and Mayo, who is bent on going to the big city, went to the Grizzlies, and the first thing he needs to do is adjust his mentality.

He then predicted that Bayles, Batum, Fernandes, Kevin Love and others all had a chance to compete for Rookie of the Year.

Players like Russell Westbrook, the fourth pick.

Sorry, I haven't learned much about it........
