Before the finals began, Qiao Hai thought about how to use the list of eye signs.

He talked to David Falck and decided on two plans.

The first set is the advice that David Falke gave him, and the top pick in the 1999 draft was Elton Brand, and Elton Brand happened to be David Falck's employer, and David Falke told Joe that he would convince Elton Brand to try to give up the first pick.

And through hype, let the Bulls choose other players at the top pick.

If Elton Brand can be selected in the top position, it will also be a good choice, Qiao Hai is very familiar with Elton Brand's career, this is a perennial 20+10 power forward, strength is greater than fame.

However, this year, he is the top pick, and it is too difficult for the Bulls not to choose him, and the first plan can obviously only be used as an alternative, and Qiao Hai does not want to be forced to choose players such as Lamar Odom in the end.

Of course, it's not that Lamar Odom is not strong, but Odom's strength is not worth a list pick, and if it is replaced by a draft pick at the end of the lotto, maybe Qiao Hai will consider Odom.

The second plan is to use this list to trade.

There are also many trading plans, Qiao Hai determined three trading plans, and then called Stu Jackson directly, and asked David Falke to assist from the side.

"Stu, I have an idea about the list, but I still need you to contact it."

Qiao Hai asked Stu Jackson to carry out specific operations, because he didn't have many connections in this alliance, except for Stu Jackson, Qiao Hai could only ask David Falke for help.

"Specifically, we have two sets of plans...... Qiao Hai first laid out the plan and plan for Elton Brand to be selected, and then mentioned the transaction: "Steve Francis is not worth using the list to choose, not to mention that he has already made it clear that he doesn't want to play in Vancouver, so if we have a chance to choose Elton Brand, then we will choose Elton Brand, if not, we will trade." ”

"I'll give you three trade partners, the first is the Timberwolves, and the trade goal is to trade for their first-round pick No. 6 and first-round pick No. 14, the second is the Toronto Raptors, the No. 5 pick and the No. 12 pick in the first round, and the last one is the Atlanta Hawks, who will sign their No. 10 pick in the first round, No. 17 in the first round and their first-round pick next year."

"Reach out to them, and if they're willing to trade, we'll talk about the details of the deal."

Qiao Hai directly put forward all the plans, but Stu Jackson's questions were very big, the main question was whether the list should be traded or not, in fact, he was a little hesitant, but after hesitating for a moment, he thought that now the transfer power is in Qiao Hai's hands, which he promised.

Therefore, Qiao Hai thought about the operation, and he could not overturn it.

Stu Jackson immediately regretted it, but thinking about the several trading plans proposed by Qiao Hai, as well as the first set of plans that may appear, Stu Jackson decided to follow Qiao Hai's plan for the time being.

Stu Jackson agreed, and Qiao Hai continued to instruct: "Also, try a trade and swap our overall No. 37 pick for a more advanced second-round pick." ”

This operation is mainly Qiao Hai reminded of a Chinese player, Wang Zhizhi, now playing for the Bayi team, among domestic players, Wang Zhizhi's strength is one of the best, he participated in the 1999 draft.

In Qiao Hai's memory, Wang Zhizhi was finally selected by the Mavericks, and the specific signing Qiao Hai also flipped through the draft list and found the signing position of the Mavericks, which happened to be the 36th place overall, so if Qiao Hai wanted to choose Wang Zhizhi, he would have to get a higher second-round pick.

Of course, Qiao Hai also knows that Wang Zhizhi's NBA career performance can only be regarded as average, but he still has to choose Wang Zhizhi, after all, this is a compatriot, and the emotion is different, Qiao Hai wants to cultivate Wang Zhizhi, he feels that if there is his help, Wang Zhizhi's NBA career will be much more successful and will be better in the international basketball world.

Stu Jackson didn't ask Qiao Hai the reason for the change, agreed, and then continued to listen to Qiao Hai's arrangement.

"Also, the list of individual tryouts, Stu, you make a note."

Joe Hai quickly reported several names: "Elton Brand, Byron Davis, Wallis Zebiak, Richard Hamilton, Sean Marion, Ron Artest...... Francisco Elson. ”

Roughly although he signed up for the draft, he will not participate in the tryout before the draft, and many international players are like this, they will not participate in the draft tryout.

Therefore, the last name Qiao Hai reported was Francesco Elson, a blue-collar insider, in Qiao Hai's memory, this blue-collar insider played well, played in the NBA until he retired, and also played for the Spurs, with outstanding strength.

Stu Jackson didn't hear Steve Francis's name, and he finally couldn't help it.

Steve Francis is also the favorite, although the popularity is worse than Elton Brand, Stu Jackson is very optimistic about Steve Francis, otherwise he would not want to choose Francis when Steve Francis is unwilling to go to Vancouver.

Stu Jackson couldn't help but ask, "Joe, are we really not thinking about Steve Francis?" ”

Qiao Hai smiled, and Stu Jackson still asked, but he had already decided, and he definitely didn't choose Steve Francis.

In response to Stu Jackson's question, Qiao Hai's response was simple: "Stu, why don't you try to invite Steve Francis to come to Vancouver for a tryout, as long as he is willing to come, we will consider selecting him in the top spot." ”

Stu Jackson nodded, he was about to give it a try.

Still not giving up, Qiao Hai sighed, and found two more things for Stu Jackson.

"On top of that, Stu, I've looked at the Grizzlies' roster, and everyone else can be traded except for Mike Bibby and Sharif Abdulahim, so it's good for us to try it and trade other players for some draft picks."

Trading useless players for draft picks, Qiao Hai can use these picks to select useful players, and once they come and go, the Grizzlies' strength will be strengthened.

"Also, help me ask the Hornets if Brad Miller can be traded."

Stu Jackson heard a strange name, Brad Miller, but he was used to it, if the draft was really carried out according to Qiao Hai's plan, there would be too many strange operations, and it would be a strange operation to send away the list of picks, and it would be even more strange to exchange draft picks with players other than Mike Bibby and Sharif Abdulahim.

But the transfer is in Qiao Hai's hands, and Stu Jackson just needs to do it.

After arranging the work on the Grizzlies' side, the next thing Qiao Hai has to do is to take the Lakers to play the first game of the Finals, and his goal is to get off to a good start!
