Chapter 587: Draft Night Deal (3/4!) )
"There are a couple of trades in front of us right now, and first, the Jazz are interested in trading their No. 21 pick Gorgui Dieng for Rudy Gobert, whom we just drafted, and the 28th pick; Second, the Timberwolves agreed to our Soflozaga trade for Jose Barria with the 28th pick in the first round and a second-round pick next year; The Suns agreed to a No. 60 trade for Ismael Smith, but with an additional $200,000 in cash. ”
"Gone?" Tang Tian listened and looked at Jones suspiciously.
Jones nodded.
Tang Tian frowned, it seemed that the deal between Hinrich and trading future first-round picks had not been negotiated.
The draft continues.
The Spurs, who were the 27th pick, selected Livio Jean Char.
They didn't have much to choose from in the super year of the draft.
"Trade it, agree to the Timberwolves and the Suns." Tang Tian continued.
The draft was like that for a young year, and the draft picks at the end of the first round were not worth anything at all.
Take the small trade just now, the Warriors directly bought the Nuggets' 26th pick with cash, and it is not a loss to be able to trade Barria, and the value of the Timberwolves next year is not much worse than the 28th pick in the first round this year.
As for Smith's trade, the difference between there is no 200,000 or not is not very big, although it takes a while to grow, but after growth, Smith is the kind of player who has the strength to start on a weak team.
"A trade happened, and the 28th pick in the first round in 2013 belonged to the Timberwolves, and they had five minutes to think about it."
When Stern reappeared in front of the stage, as he spoke, the trading plan floated in the background.
The Timberwolves used that pick to acquire Archie Goodwin, a 1.96-meter guard.
"In 2013, the 30th pick in the first round of the NBA, the Golden State Warriors selected Nemanja Nedovic, the 1.91 meter guard is from Serbia, and the first round of the draft is over, thank you."
When Stern announced his final pick in the first round, the crowd erupted in cheers and whistles.
Stern smiled slightly, waved to the audience, and then turned around and walked back to the back of the stage.
At this moment, his draft stage was officially over.
The first round is over, and the Thunder's draft this year is basically over, and they have earned it to be able to win Gobert in such a draft year.
"Incredible, incredible......" At this moment, Jones suddenly showed a shocked look in his eyes, and he spoke with a trill.
Everyone else looked at the team's deputy general manager curiously, it was the first time they were so shocked to see Jones, you must know that this old man has been in the league for more than 20 years.
Tang Tian also looked at Jones suspiciously, what happened?
"Boston and Brooklyn just closed the deal and they sent Kevin Garnett and Paul Pearce." Jones said as he struggled to remain calm after his excitement.
Jones said as he read out a more detailed trading plan.
The Nets sent the 2014, 2016 and 2018 first-round picks, the 2017 swap picks, as well as Chris Humphries, Gerald Wallace, Reggie Evans, Keith Bogans (sign-and-trade) and Chris Joseph for Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry from the Celtics.
Once the deal is struck, the Nets will face up to $80 million in luxury taxes.
"What?"
"Are they crazy?"
"Is Boston a reconstruction? Nets five All-Stars, are they going to be our new challenge? ”
……
"Ding! Bite! ”
At this moment, Tang Tian's mobile phone rang continuously.
He picked it up and looked at it, and there were two messages, the first one was sent by Kidd, and the second one was sent by OJ, and the content was similar.
Kidd will be the head coach of the Nets for the upcoming season.
Just as Tang Tian was still looking at the message, the phone shook again, and OJ sent another message: In the past transaction, Kidd persuaded Garnett to give up his trade veto.
The people in the hut had a heated discussion.
However, Tang Tian smiled helplessly.
Billy King's life-changing deal happened.
The reaction in the cabin is not surprising, when the deal first happened, most people felt that the Nets were not a loss, after all, the Big Five, even if it is a veteran, is the first time in the league.
But what King didn't take into account was that the age of these All-Stars, who were aging much faster than expected, were so fast that the Nets quickly declined, while the Celtics quickly rebuilt with the Nets' three draft picks and a series of subsequent trades.
Playing the East Finals and holding the lottery players at the same time is talking about the Celtics team in the previous life.
However, the only difference is that Stevens is now on an errand under Tang Tian, and whether the Celtics can make the playoffs is another matter.
Moreover, this transaction reminded him of some previous events.
When he was still the general manager of the Cavaliers, he traded Ilgoskas out of the team, and Angie taunted him fiercely at that time, and now at this point, he can't be ambiguous.
Anyway, there wasn't much to do with the Thunder in the second round, so he simply took out his mobile phone, opened Twitter, and posted a status.
"Isn't Paul Pearce the soul of the Green Army, a player who will never be traded? What, Celtics management has changed? ”
Sour, sour is very straightforward.
But ridiculous enough.
Tang Tian's Twitter has a lot of followers, and he usually doesn't post much, but he suddenly posted such a message online, and the following comments exploded directly.
People know that Tang Tian is the godfather of the dynasty with 7 crowns in hand, but after all, he is also a young coach who is only 29 years old!
At the beginning, Anji ridiculed Tang Tianlong, who was known to the whole United States, but now Tang Tian finally got the opportunity.
And there is nothing wrong with this sour statement, Angie mocked Tang Tian at the beginning, and said that he would never trade Pierce, and now he slapped himself in the face, Tang Tian is just a point.
Because of the increase in the number of comments, the tweet was quickly retweeted by media people.
Buck commented with three smiley faces, while O'Neill used three thumbs up expressions.
Obviously, the flag that Anji set for himself four years ago has been gradually forgotten with time, but after Tang Tian, the party who brought him out, he completely became the laughing stock of the alliance.
And the point is that this is a fact, and Angie doesn't even have room to refute it.
Xiao Hua was proud, and the second round of the draft was also carried out quickly.
It was in the process that Jones bought a 49th pick with cash, and Tang used that pick to select James Ennis, a small forward from Long Beach State University.
Ennis was a standard role player in his previous life, averaging 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist per game in his career, but his athleticism and defense were not bad, and he was one of the few low-post quality players in the draft.
