Chapter 292: I Want It All (3/4!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
After the Rockets' draft was over, Tang Tian also withdrew his gaze and then discussed the possibility of a trade with Dante.
Although the plan for the new season is to be rotten, he is obviously not aimless, whether it is the target player next season or the young player this season, it is all around James.
The draft outside went on very quickly, and Tang Tian also kept asking Dante to try to trade up.
"Chicago agreed to our plan, but they didn't want our Vallejoga plan for a future second-round draft, they wanted Mo Williams, and it was a robbery." Dante put down the phone and said with a little indignation.
Tang Tian frowned, these management people are so unreasonable, he just wants the other party's 26th pick.
Ty Gibson is his target, a tough guy on the inside, a fierce player in the frontcourt, and also has the potential to develop three-point shots, and is one of the most suitable interior players for James.
It seems that these teams have seen the vacuum period of the Cavaliers' management and want to take advantage of the fire.
"Then let's start Plan B." Although there were some regrets, he didn't drag his feet either.
Dante nodded, and continued to call.
"The 26th pick in the first round of the NBA, the Chicago Bulls selected Ty Gibson, a 2.06-meter power forward from USC."
"That's it." Just then, Dante put down the phone.
Tang Tian nodded, if you open your eyes, there is more than one Gibson in this league who is suitable for James.
"A deal was struck, and the New Jersey Nets were given the No. 27 pick, and they had five minutes to think about it." When Stern showed up at the front desk again, there was a deal that had just been made behind him.
It was a three-way trade, with the Cavaliers sending the 27th pick and Delonte West to get Ryan Anderson from the Nets.
The Lakers, as a third party, sent the 42nd pick in the second round and a future second-round pick, getting Delonte West.
The Nets sent Ryan Anderson for the 27th pick and a future second-round pick from the Lakers.
(Note: Anderson was the No. 21 pick in '08 and averaged 7.4 points and 4.7 rebounds per game last season, shooting 36.5% from three-point range; Delonte West was the Cavaliers' starting point guard last season, averaging 11.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 39.9% from three-point range)
At first glance, this deal seems to be a rookie, to rebuild, not to lose or to earn; The Lakers traded for West with only two worthless first-rounders, a 26-year-old who is still growing, and the most profitable; And the Cavaliers only got a big man who looked like he would only shoot threes, which was the biggest loss.
But Tang Tian knows what Anderson will be like when he is next to James, and the No. 42 pick, he is also very useful, as for the West who was sent out, not to mention the limited talent, it is the matter with James's mother in 2010 in his previous life, and he must also send this time bomb away first.
"With the 30th pick, the Sacramento Kings selected Jeff Ayres, a 2.06-meter forward from Arizona State University."
With the Kings using draft picks from the Rockets to select Ayres, the first-round draft officially came to an end.
There have been some changes, but overall it is still the same as in the previous life.
Speaking of which, this has a lot to do with the team coached by Tang Tian, because they are all strong teams, and the draft picks are all behind, which has limited interference with the overall historical trend.
After a short break, the second round of the draft began quickly.
"That's it!" At this moment, after Dante finished speaking, he directly picked up the water bottle next to him and poured most of the bottle into his mouth.
Tang Tian's thinking was very active, and he, the only undertaker, had not been idle since he entered the office.
After drinking the water, Dent continued: "Darnell Jackson, add 500,000 cash, the Heat's No. 43 pick is in hand, the future second-round pick, and the Pistons' No. 44 pick is also done." ”
"Well done." Tang Tian praised Dante.
Young, but looking clean, Dent will have a place on his team in the future.
"It's just that I don't really understand why I'm collecting so many second-round picks." Dante, after all, was young, and still raised some questions.
Just now, he traded a total of 3 second-round picks, including the Cavaliers' own, a total of four, which is an exaggeration in any draft.
"You'll understand in the future." Tang Tian didn't explain much.
Because a lot of people weren't there, the second-round draft went much faster than the first, and Mark Tetum was in and out of the stage and was quickly in his 40s.
"A trade happened, and the 42nd pick in the second round of the NBA belonged to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had five minutes to think about it."
Not long after the announcement, a staff member knocked on the door.
Tang Tian asked Dante to write down all the choices behind him and give them to the staff at one time, saving the people of the organizing committee from running here again and again.
After all, the next picks are all from the Cavaliers.
"In 2009, the 42nd overall pick in the second round, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Patrick Beverley, a 1.85-meter point guard from Europe."
As Tyum announced his selection, Cavaliers fans on the sidelines shouted excitedly.
Although he didn't know Beverley, the choice Tang Tian made has been proven to be absolutely correct in the past few years.
At this time, in contrast, the mood of Rockets fans is much lower.
In the past, they were cheering, but this time, they could only watch the Cavaliers fans shout.
Maybe what they can still silently say in their hearts is that Tang Tian will look away this year!
"A trade happened, and the 43rd pick belonged to the Cavaliers, who also had five minutes to think about it."
Tetum walked back backstage after speaking, although he had already obtained the Cavaliers envelope, but the process still had to go.
Five minutes later, he walked out again, followed by announcing the Cavaliers' selection, Marcus Thornton.
Thorton is a guard with very explosive scoring ability, and even averaged 18+ per game in a single season in the early part of his career, even if he arrived at the end of the Rockets in his previous life, he was nicknamed "Suo's thigh" by fans, and such a player can steal points from the bench.
Thorton came to the scene, and after hearing that he had been selected, he took the Rocket's hat from the staff and walked quickly to the stage.
Because of defensive problems, his draft market has not been good, and being selected in the middle of the second round is already a very good choice for him.
"A trade happened, the 44th pick...... It still belongs to the Cavaliers, and they have 5 minutes to think about it. ”
Tetum smiled unconsciously when he read this, this is already the third in a row.
Cavaliers, this is what I want to .jpg all......
