"So if we were going to select Joakim Noah, why not trade the player we selected with the third pick?"

Randy Ayers had a flash of inspiration and suggested.

Wang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

Billy King clapped his hands and praised, "Makes sense, Randy, isn't this what we did last year?" If you go back and find a low trade, you will definitely be willing. ”

"If Joaquin Noah had participated in the draft last year, he would have been the undisputed champion," Wang Ming shook his head, feeling sorry for Joaquin Noah, the young man played in college for an extra year, not only knocked out his potential, but also exposed his many shortcomings, and the draft market fell all the way.

"Al Horford!"

Wang changed his mind tomorrow, Al Horford is the higher potential of this rookie, except for Durant and Greg Oden, two players with SS-level potential, Al Horford has S potential, similar to Paul Millsap who was drafted last year, while Joakim Noah is slightly worse, only S- potential.

"Al's draft is already high, and this guy is the brightest player at the University of Florida."

Billy King took out the report, "This year's rookie is to take Greg Oden as the benchmark, whoever can not fall behind in the confrontation with Greg Oden, or show some super quality, then who is the sweetheart in the eyes of scouts, is the future plastic talent, which is especially prominent in interior players." ”

The three of them continued to discuss with each other, and soon the telephone rang in the cabin.

On stage, the 2007 draft officially began.

"The first pick in the first round of the 2007 draft, the Portland Trail Blazers chose ........ Greg Oden, from The Ohio State University......."

There is no doubt that Oden is the strongest king among this rookie, and in the draft report, Oden is called a once-in-50-year wizard, a combination of Olajuwon + Ewing + David Robinson.

Pick a hundred times, and the Trail Blazers will choose Oden.

Subsequently, the Seattle SuperSonics selected Kevin Durant.

Durant, who is as thin as a bamboo pole, walks up to the stage, and his amazing arm span is eye-catching, and he is obviously also a talented player.

Wang Ming was surprised, last year, in the draft, there was not a single SS-level potential player, and this year there were two at once, and I don't know who of these two players can become a supergiant.

David Stern stood in front of the stage, his familiar voice ringing through the Madison Square Garden arena.

"The third pick in the first round of the 2007 draft, the Philadelphia 76ers, chose ........."

"Al Horford."

"From the University of Florida ......."

Al Horford stood up from his seat, smiling like a gentleman, shaking hands and hugging his friends and family, visibly satisfied.

University of Florida coach Donovan commented on Al Horford — he definitely has the potential to be a box dominant, with 40 points and 20 rebounds in a game.

On the big screen on the court, there were video highlights of Al Horford.

Soon, Al Horford came to the front of the stage, took the 76ers baseball cap handed over by the staff, and put it on his head.

Al Horford's real fame came during this year's NCAA season, when Horford came off the bench to guard Buckeyes star Greg Oden in this year's NCAA season. With Horford's defense, Oden scored just seven points in the game, while Horford himself had 11 points and 11 rebounds to help his team beat the Buckeyes.

Later, in the finals, he performed eye-catchingly, lifting the championship trophy, and the University of Florida became one of the few teams in NCAA history to win consecutive championships.

Al Horford stood in front of the stage, picked up the microphone, and gave an enthusiastic speech with thunderous applause.

"The young man looks very good at the education, and he looks polite." Billy King likes Al Horford very much and tries his best to say good things about him in front of Wang Mingming, hoping to change Wang Mingming's decision.

If others see this scene, their jaws will definitely drop.

Billy King, who is the general manager, is faintly headed by Wang Mingming.

With the fourth pick, the Memphis Grizzlies chose Mike Conley, Oden's right-hand man.

.......

Yi Jian United was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the sixth pick.

The young man walked up to the stage, with a reluctant and depressed face, he wanted to go to a big city like Philadelphia, but unfortunately the king did not choose him tomorrow.

Previously, Dan Fagan had been in contact with Wang Mingming, but Wang Mingming told Feigan that although the decision is in his hands, the first starting point is always the team.

As a result, the 76ers chose Al Horford, who was more famous and powerful, and Yi Jian United was selected by the Bucks.

Wang tomorrow thinks that the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are the seventh pick, may choose Joakim Noah, because the Timberwolves have not made the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, and the team's defense was terrible last season, and the opponent averaged 99.7 points per game.

But the Timberwolves didn't know what to think, and the seventh pick selected Corey Brewer, who is also an excellent player at the University of Florida, with first-class speed, excellent physical fitness, but average ball handling, and belongs to the fast-break forward with height and long arms.

The Bobcats, who were the eighth pick, chose Brandon Wright.

Joakim Noah fell all the way to the ninth pick before being drafted by the Bulls, which was too far from the "top-five pick" predicted before the draft.

At this time, in the hut of 76 people, Wang Ming Ming had already received several phone calls.

There were phone calls that changed his mind.

.......

In the draft, there were a number of trades.

In an age of cheque-wielding gambles, perhaps a second-round pick would be enough to change the fortunes of a team.

The first to trade was the Bobcats.

The Suns traded No. 24 rookie Rudy Fernandez to the Trail Blazers in exchange for cash.

The Bobcats drafted North Carolina power forward Brandon Wright with the No. 8 pick, then traded him to the Golden State Warriors for Jason Richardson and the Warriors' newly drafted No. 36 rookie, Jemario Davis. In an effort to achieve trade wage parity, the Bobcats also sent their own $10 million trade exception to the Warriors.

Subsequently, the New York Knicks triggered a blockbuster trade.

The New York Knicks got Randolph from the Portland Trail Blazers, while Francis and Frye were traded to the Trail Blazers.

The Houston Rockets traded a future second-round pick plus a sum of cash for rookie forward Carl Landry from the Seattle SuperSonics.

Countless players have been put on the shelves before they have had time to show their loyalty, traded to a place he never thought he would go.
