This year is not a big year for the draft, but there is no suspense about the champion.

Coming from Duke University, the coquettish Kyrie Irving basically locked in the top pick early.

For the Clippers, they already have a strong interior player like Griffin on their roster, and Irving's arrival is just the right duo.

This draft is called the draft year, but Tang Tian knows that Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, and Jimmy Butler are all in this year, and they can't be called small years, but he doesn't have a chance in front of him, and Butler is what he must win.

"Good evening, gentlemen, ladies, and welcome to the 2011 NBA Draft......"

Stern was once again present at the draft.

He's in his seventies, and this year's shutdown has left him looking even haggard, with rumors that he might choose to retire after the shutdown, but he still has his trademark smile on the draft scene during turbulent times.

"The No. 1 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft went to the Los Angeles Clippers, and they had five minutes to think about it."

When Stern announced the results, the Clippers fans in the stadium cheered excitedly.

This is the second time in four years that they have won the top pick.

It turned out to be no surprise, as the Clippers selected Kyrie Irving with their No. 1 pick.

Owen came to the stage with a happy face.

Although not as famous as his fellow city brothers, the Lakers, the Clippers are still in Los Angeles after all, and they are the biggest stage for his balloon skills.

The second-overall Timberwolves maintained their usual poor draft vision and drafted Derrick Williams.

The Kings, who were the third pick, selected Tristan Thompson.

The choice after that was not much different from the impression of Tang Tian in his previous life.

The Warriors selected Klay Thompson, one of the future Splash Brothers, with the 11th pick.

The Spurs traded George Hill for the 15th pick in the first round from the Pacers and then used him to select Kawhi Leonard.

The Morris brothers were picked by the Suns and the Rockets.

The lottery draft is over, and the hot rookies are basically taken away.

Some fans at the scene began to leave, after all, the draft was a small year.

However, the atmosphere in the Cavaliers' office is somewhat solemn.

Their attempts still didn't come to fruition.

Now in front of Tang Tian, it seems that there are only two paths to choose.

Either give up Butler or contact Popovich and trade Green for the Spurs' No. 28 pick and head.

But after two years of training, Green already has a fairly mature fighting ability, and last year's Finals also contributed to Terry's defense, and it was not cost-effective to just replace Butler, a rookie.

After all, Butler is not the kind of rookie who is very strong, and Green's role with the Cavaliers is currently unreplaceable.

Can you only give up?

If Butler is abandoned, then the 30th pick can be Chandler Parsons.

Parsons is more immediate, more powerful than Butler, and a very good choice.

But Butler, the future supergiant, is still a little unwilling to miss him like this.

"The 25th pick belongs to the Orlando Magic, and they have five minutes to think about it."

That's when Stern announced the 25th pick in the first round.

Magic?

When Tang Tian heard this, his head flashed with inspiration.

Lewis was pardoned by the Magic last season, and they are now missing a spacious No. 4 with three-point ability, which is Howard's standard.

At the space No. 4 position, the Cavaliers now have two, Anderson and Fry.

Anderson was the Cavaliers' regular season starter, and Frye was an important rotation, but in the playoffs, the duo's defensive problems were too obvious to play much.

And Anderson's words, he played for the Magic team in his previous life and new season, and now he is also in the fourth year of his rookie contract, and he must consider renewing his contract after playing this year.

"Reach out to the Magic and use Anderson and next year's first-round pick to offer their No. 25 pick." Tang Tian said quickly to Dante.

Anderson, whose contract is about to expire, is obviously unable to impress the Magic, and now that time is limited, he can only make a bloody investment.

Dante didn't ask, and immediately connected.

Jones stopped talking at this point, but finally did not speak.

The whole draft hut was eerily quiet, except for Dante's voice.

Three minutes later, Dante put down the phone, and he let out a long breath.

"The Magic agreed."

The 25th pick in the first round is still a small year in the draft, but the value is actually very low.

Under normal circumstances, the Cavaliers would definitely be able to trade this year's 30th pick and a second-round pick.

Other teams don't want the Cavaliers to be stronger, but the Magic also need Ryan Anderson after losing Rashard Lewis.

And swapping a first-round plus season's starting power forward for a year's first-round end doesn't look like a reinforcement deal at all.

Tang Tian exhaled.

The next pick is the Bulls, and some news broke before the draft that the Bulls also had a soft spot for Butler, and they also drafted Butler in his previous life.

One pick, the last two minutes, this feeling, it's really a bit like the whistle on the pitch.

"A trade happened, and the Cleveland Cavaliers got the 25th pick in the first round, and they had five minutes to think about it."

As soon as Stern went out, the deal was announced.

"Boom! Boom! ”

Shortly after that, the staff at the draft site knocked on the door.

Dante gave him the envelope in which the results had already been written.

After a while, when Stern came out again, he was already holding the envelope containing the results.

Looking at the old man who was nearly seventy years old, Tang Tian felt very cordial at this moment.

Butler!

A swingman on the front line, a defensive titan at the beginning of his career, and an all-star player who will grow up in the future!

A 25th pick was selected, this is not a second-round pick, but it is an absolute low-post Taobao!

"I'll go out for a while, and if I'm in the 30th place, I'll just choose according to the original plan."

Tang Tian said, and went directly out of the draft hut.

"2011 First Round No. 25 Pick, Cleveland Cavaliers Pick ......"

After walking out of the hut and walking a passage to the arena, they are on the second floor, and after coming out, they can overlook the entire draft site.

"Jimmy Butler, 2.03m small forward from Marquette University."

When Stern announced the result, the Cavaliers fans who came to the scene cheered excitedly.

However, Tang Tian's eyes were on the sidelines.

Butler didn't make it into this year's Little Green House, where he was sitting on the sidelines with his adoptive parents and good brother Jordan Leslie.

After hearing that he had been selected with the 25th pick, his adoptive parents screamed with excitement, and then burst into tears with excitement and excitement.

Their family was poor, and they had to raise four children before adopting Butler, and the final decision to keep Butler was more due to the persistence of his children.

And after adopting Butler, they also have the strictest requirements for Butler, requiring him to set an example for the children in everything he does.

Now, all their efforts have paid off.

Butler smiled and hugged his adoptive parents and good brothers, took the Cavaliers hat handed by the staff, and took a deep breath and walked to the stage.
