"Kevin, help me connect with Ben Wallace's agent, I'm going to speak directly with Ben Wallace's team before the free market opens."

Kevin Pritchard naturally nodded, and soon began to look for the contact information of Ben Wallace's agent, Steve Kaufman.

At the same time, Qiao Hai also took his draft team to New York, where the draft conference will start before the free transfer market opens.

……

The 2006 MLS Basketball Draft was still held at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, and Qiao Hai walked into the theater with Kevin Pritchard and Sam Sinki.

As they walked, they had some exchanges on their side.

"Joe, I contacted Steve Kaufman, but he told me that he was no longer Ben Wallace's agent, and that he was fired by Big Ben as soon as the season was over, but it hasn't been announced yet."

Kevin Pritchard managed to reach Steve Kaufman, only to get one such reply.

Qiao Hai was also surprised, turned his head and asked, "Who is Big Ben's current agent?" ”

"I don't know." Kevin Pritchard spread his hands. "I searched around the news section of Hoop Sports and some discussion posts on Facebook, but I couldn't find any news of Big Ben's change of agent."

Qiao Hai nodded and waved his hand: "Okay, when the draft is over, I'll ask Qiao Dumas." ”

……

Before the draft officially began, Qiao Hai got two draft notes, one was the 29th pick in the first round, and the other was the 38th pick in the second round.

He casually tossed the two notes to Kevin Pritchard: "P.J. Tucker with the 29th pick, Paul Millsap with the 38th pick." ”

Kevin Pritchard nodded in understanding, and Qiao Hai then set his eyes on the little green house.

This year's draft is a full small year, the Philadelphia 76ers with a probability of 8.8%, counterattack to draw the first pick, the list was obtained by the Knicks, but this pick is owned by the Bulls, because in the transaction of Eddie Curry, the Knicks have already given this draft pick to the Bulls.

Tanhua was acquired by the New Orleans Hornets, who last season had the second-to-last record in the West and the third-to-last in the league, just better than the Knicks and the Trail Blazers.

The worst luck was naturally the Trail Blazers, who finished first in the league and didn't even finish in the top three.

The Trail Blazers were followed by the Hawks and Timberwolves, the Celtics with the seventh pick, followed by the Kings, Warriors, SuperSonics and Heat, and the Bulls themselves with the twelfth pick.

The thirteenth and fourteenth picks were the 76ers and the Jazz.

……

David Stern once again stood on the center stage to the boos of the New York fans, and then he announced: "The 2006 NBA Draft starts now, and the first choice is the Philadelphia 76ers with the first pick in the first round!" ”

Billy King is going to be on the move, and he's going to need to pick a talented player who can help the 76ers and help Allen Iverson get back to the playoffs.

Among the top three favourites, between Andre Bagnani, LaMarcus Aldridge and Tyren Thomas, he has already made his choice.

"Danny Angie told me that Andre Bagnani would be the next Larry Bird, and I remember Johi also saying that Bagnani would be the next Decknowski and we already had Chris Webber, we need to choose a player who can play as a center forward, and in summary, I have no reason not to choose Bagnani!"

So, with a stroke of his pen, Billikin wrote the name of the Italian on the slip of paper.

"The first pick in the first round, the Philadelphia 76ers chose - a 7-foot-tall, 250-pound center from Italy, Andre Bagnani!"

The audience cheered, and Andre Bagnani stood up from the crowd, picked up the 76ers' draft cap, and walked onto the main stage......

With the second pick in the first round, the Chicago Bulls began to choose, but before the selection, David Stern first announced a trade.

"The Chicago Bulls completed a trade with the Portland Trail Blazers, trading the No. 2 pick in the first round for the No. 4 pick in the first round and the signing rights of Victor Kayapa."

After the trade was completed, the Trail Blazers finally got the list sign with one more Russian demon star, and their choice in this position was no suspense, and LaMarcus Aldridge was picked away.

With the third pick in the first round, the New Orleans Hornets completed the selection, and unlike Adam Morrison, who has historically been selected by the Bobcats, they chose Tyron Thomas, who was a template for Kenyon Martin.

With the fourth pick in the first round, the Bulls began to choose, originally they preferred Tyren Thomas, but now, Thomas has been drafted.

Choosing among the remaining players, Bulls general manager John Paxson ultimately chose Adam Morrison.

"The Bulls drafted Adam Morrison, and in the end, they still couldn't resist the temptation of the next Larry Bird!"

Adam Morrison's name is absolutely scary, the NCAA killer, the best template Larry Bird, and the worst template is also Wallis Zebiak.

The top three picks were reluctant to select him because Morrison appeared to have a history of diabetes and the Bulls were hesitating, but in the end, they overcame the hesitation of diabetes.

The Atlanta Hawks chose Sheldon Williams, and Billy Knight was gone down the wrong path.

……

Before the sixth-pick pick in the first round began, David Stern announced a more complex trade involving three teams.

"The Minnesota Timberwolves sent away the 6th pick in the first round, got the 7th pick in the first round, and some cash."

"The Portland Trail Blazers sent Chris Humphries, Juan Dixon, two second-round picks and some cash, the Timberwolves for the sixth pick in the first round and Dandy Kaw from the Celtics."

"The Celtics sent Dandy Cow and a seventh-round pick in the first round, and the Trail Blazers got Chris Humphries, Juan Dixon and two second-round picks."

At this point, the Trailblazers got another lotto.

Qiao Hai in the Bobcats draft house also breathed a sigh of relief, after the operation of Danny Ainge and Kevin McHale (general manager of the Timberwolves), Paul Pierce failed to get a good help, and the Timberwolves did not miss Blanton Roy again, and nothing has changed.

The Trail Blazers, who received the sixth-pick pick in the first round, quickly drafted Brandon Roy, while the Timberwolves' Kevin McHale drafted Randy Foye.

The next draft didn't change much from the previous one, with the Bobcats surprisingly picking P.J. Tucker at the beginning of the second round with the 29th pick in the first round, and then using the 38th overall pick in the second round to draft Paul Millsap.

The draft has come to an end.
