Seeing Chang Wei swearing to make up his mind, Brown and Dumas laughed dumbly, and after a while, Brown said helplessly: "Chang, we haven't found a suitable player either, and there is some truth in your words, so let's take a look at the draft first!" ”

In previous offseasons, the flow of free agents was arguably quite frequent, but this year it has been a stagnant pool, with only occasional waves. The Pistons didn't get much attention, as most teams across the league did the same, and all eyes were on the upcoming lotto draw, everyone wanted to change the fortunes of the team.

Compared to other teams in the lottery, the Grizzlies are the best of the best, and while they showed some talent in the Spanish interior that they drafted the year before, they had to hand over this year's draft pick to the Pistons, and they couldn't use it to help the team further accelerate their rebuild. It is precisely for this reason that the general manager of the Grizzlies has been criticized by the local media in Memphis, and even some Grizzlies fans ran to the door of the arena and raised a banner asking the team to change the general manager, which embarrassed the team.

But no matter how much they toss, the Grizzlies' draft pick will not go back to their own hands, no matter how tall they are, they will have to be given to the Pistons. Fans can only curse under their breath while hoping that the Grizzlies' representative will pick a not-so-high pick in the lotto draw, so that they may feel better and not think that they have suffered a big loss.

Soon came the day of the lottery draw ceremony, representatives of the 13 lotto teams came to the official lottery venue of the league, of course, the worst face among all was naturally the general manager of the Grizzlies, Lakers legend Jerry West, that is, the NBA's logo man, the league logo on the portrait is based on him.

In fact, the Grizzlies still have a chance to keep this draft pick, but it is very slim because they have to draw the first pick. Any draft pick other than the No. 1 pick will be sent to the Pistons. When the host announced the start of the lottery, everyone who followed the lottery ceremony held their breath, whether it was live or in front of the TV.

For teams that aren't so bad and don't make the playoffs, it's almost impossible for them to move up the ladder because it's so unlikely to happen. From the 13th pick all the way up to the 6th pick, each team basically got the draft pick that should have belonged to them according to their record.

However, when the fifth pick was drawn, the mutation was abrupt! It stands to reason that this is the Grizzlies' draft pick, as they have the fifth-lowest record of any team, but unexpectedly, it was not them who were drawn, but the Clippers, who had one less record than them! Originally, West had closed his eyes, but when he heard "Los Angeles Clippers", he opened them suddenly, and his mouth opened as if he could stuff a light bulb, which means that the Grizzlies' draft pick has improved!

The Clippers' lottery representative froze, he didn't expect that he would be the first to suffer, but he didn't want to be angry in front of everyone. And the lotto draw is meant to be a test of luck, and getting the fifth draw with the fourth-to-last record only proves that they are unlucky, and now the league has little chance of cheating.

Before everyone could react, the fourth pick followed, and surprisingly, this time it was still not the Grizzlies, but the Heat, who also had a worse record than them. West still hasn't come to his senses, but the Pistons management and coaching staff members in front of the TV are even more tormented, should they let the Grizzlies sign the champion this time? That's!

Chang Wei also felt a little painful, this lotto draw is obviously different from the previous life, the Grizzlies were able to draw a list for the Pistons in their previous life, so why can't they draw a champion lottery for themselves? But if that's the case, all the previous preparations of the Pistons have been done in vain, and this is the first time that Chang Wei is a little worried about his rebirth, for fear of disrupting his plan.

Fortunately, the host didn't let him suffer for too long, and finally read the name of the Memphis Grizzlies when he was in the third pick. West smiled reluctantly on the TV screen, after all, no one would be happy to lose a scout lottery for nothing. In stark contrast to him, in the conference room of the Pistons, everyone cheered, and Chang Wei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There is nothing to say about the remaining two draft picks, the Rookie sign went to the Nuggets who are the bottom of the West, and the top pick was given to the bottom of the East Cavaliers. When the lottery ceremony ended, everyone cast envious glances at the representatives of the Cavaliers, Chang Wei guessed that there must be many teams calling the Cavaliers management to ask about the price of the champion sign, but the fool will sell it!

The Pistons also won't sell their own picks, although they are one order lower than their previous life, but they are better than the Heat, which also makes Chang Wei feel safe and bold to suggest that the team choose Wade in this position. Of course, that's not to say that Hamilton isn't a great shooting guard, but he's still inferior to the "Flash."

Now Chang Wei's only concern is whether the Nuggets will pick Wade first, if so, the Pistons can only choose Anthony, under the premise of Thomas, Chang Wei does not consider letting the team choose Bosh. As for Milicic, not to mention, although this big man certainly has his strengths, could it be that he can be better than Wade who has grown up?

However, in the previous life, the Nuggets still chose Anthony after getting the Tanhua sign, and this time they should also choose him with the second pick, which made Chang Wei more or less relieved. The next thing to do is to invite Wade to come to the trial, Chang Wei knows that the Bulls, who got the No. 7 pick, have always wanted to get Wade, a Chicago native, but unfortunately their order is still too low.

So what Chang Wei has to do next is to invite Wade to Detroit for a tryout in the name of the Pistons, and he believes that this guy's performance will definitely impress Brown and Dumas. Especially Brown, this old man has finally begun to face up to the talent of his players since he was eliminated by the Raptors in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and presumably Wade, a rookie who is arrogant but lacks skills, mentality and execution, will be favored by him. And in the past three seasons, Brown has consciously or unintentionally transformed into a head coach who is willing to give young people a chance, so that in the previous life, Milicic did not get a chance to play at all in the Pistons, and the thing that slowly fell silent in the future will not be repeated, otherwise what rookies will the Pistons cultivate?
