"Four picks? With a 30-round pick in the first round and then three second-rounders, it looks like the Lakers are going to make a move in the draft. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info is just in such a low order, the strength and potential of the players that can be obtained are very lacking. Obviously, Mitch Kupchak's intentions should be more than that, after all, he has been very enthusiastic about the draft recently. ”

The draft is just around the corner, private deals are going on, and the teams have changed their draft picks. The Lakers, who originally had no draft picks, also got four draft picks through other teams.

"I think the Lakers should have something else to do, could it be that there will be an unexpected trade on draft night? Which rookie do the Lakers have their eye on? Andrew Wiggins? Jabari Parker? It's just that the team with the top two picks will definitely not trade the picks. ”

Through the previous draft draw, this year's draft pick has already appeared.

The Suns, who had the highest probability of picking the No. 1 pick, only got the fourth pick, while the New York Knicks drew the No. 1 pick with the league's fourth-to-last record.

Then the Utah Jazz got the pick, and the Memphis Grizzlies got the pick.

The Wizards got the fifth pick, and the Magic, Bucks, and Hawks ranked 6~8 respectively.

From the ninth to the fourteenth picks, they were the Bobcats, Pistons, Warriors, Mavericks, Trail Blazers and Pelicans.

That's how the lottery was drawn throughout the lotto, and nothing has changed until now. Obviously, for these teams with lottery picks, they all value their picks extremely preciously.

Considering the overall quality of this year's rookies, as well as the media hype around the world.

The team with the top picks is not going to trade the draft picks.

Especially for teams like the Knicks and Jazz that have been in a rebuild, a super potential stock is exactly what they dream of. Obviously, they are not going to trade the top pick and the top eye sign out.

"Judging from the current situation, the Grizzlies and Wizards are the most likely to trade their draft picks in exchange for players with immediate potential, but the price that the Lakers need to pay for such a high draft pick should be unimaginable."

Judging from the distribution of draft picks, the Grizzlies and Wizards, who have a very good overall team, are the easiest teams to sell draft picks, after all, teams like them don't have the patience to develop potential stocks.

However, the value of this year's draft picks is too high, and it will be too difficult for the Lakers to get the third or fifth pick.

Another day passed, and many media outlets were already sure that the Lakers would make a trade, but they couldn't guess the final outcome.

Obviously, these curious people are beginning to feel that the Lakers' secrecy work is really good, and they haven't leaked the news until the draft is approaching.

So, no matter how big the curiosity and speculation are, you can only focus on the upcoming draft, because that is the moment to reveal the mystery.

**********

Barclays Center, Brooklyn.

On the evening of June 26, local time.

A luxury stretch car with the Lakers logo stopped at the door, and Chu Xuan and Kupchak walked out, followed by Ryan West, the assistant on the trip.

"Chu, if everything goes well, we should have something to gain tonight."

Kupchak said lightly and strode towards the Barclays Center.

Chu Xuan had a faint smile on his face, this was the first time he had come to the draft conference to select people, which made him a little excited.

"Mitch, I think what's going on tonight is going to be exciting, we just need to stay calm."

Kupchak shook his shoulders, noncommittal.

Obviously, keeping a clear head and reflexing quickly is extremely important for the draft.

The Barclays Center was already bustling, with many team general managers and their assistants sitting in the audience, chatting happily with each other.

When they saw Chu Xuan and Kupchak walking in, the crowd immediately became agitated.

Some people greeted Chu Xuan and Kupchak one after another, showing their respective "friendliness".

"The Lakers general manager and head coach actually came here tonight, and it looks like the Lakers will definitely have a trade tonight, and they should be traded for at least the draft picks in the lottery area."

The moderator was curious and immediately talked about his personal opinion.

In fact, when the two appeared in person, the previous speculation came to a conclusion.

If it was only because of the four extremely low draft picks, then Kupchak obviously didn't come in person, and Chu Xuan didn't seem to be there.

Obviously, tonight, the Lakers are sure to surprise everyone.

*************

Half past seven in the evening.

Fans, players, representatives of 30 teams, media, etc., all sat down, and the atmosphere was extremely hot.

The new president, Xiao Hua, appeared on the stage and began his speech at the draft meeting.

Xiao Hua's demeanor was obviously a little restrained, and this was the first time he had presided over the draft since Stern's retirement.

Obviously, he still needs to work out in these areas.

However, although Xiao Hua is not as handy as Stern, he still completed the draft speech very well.

Then in a round of applause, the draft officially kicked off.

"Who do you think New York will choose?" Kupchak said with interest.

In fact, he really wants this champion sign, in that case, he can use this top pick to choose a successor for Kobe.

"Mickey, if it were you, who would you choose?" Chu Xuan didn't speak immediately, but asked about Kupchak.

"I would go with Andrew Wiggins, this little guy has a lot of potential and talent, he's very malleable. And based on what I know about Phil, he should have chosen such a player as well. ”

As the general manager of the Knicks, Phil Jackson's selection of the top pick is undoubtedly very important, otherwise, New York fans will definitely not buy it.

"Andrew and Jabari, it should come out of the two of them. However, if it were me, I would go with Joel Embiid, who would be the best rookie in this class. Chu Xuan smiled.

Kupchak found it incredible: "Joel has a foot injury and you would choose him. Well, Chu, your thoughts are really incomprehensible, and I even think you should choose Aaron Gordon. You'd think of Joel as the best, and it seems that he has qualities that we haven't discovered? ”

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, but did not explain.

Xiao Hua quickly walked out, and a frantic shout suddenly sounded at the scene.

Fans are looking forward to it, who will be the champion show of this super draft year?

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. The New York Knicks used the No. 1 pick to select Jabari Parker from Duke University, a six-foot-nine forward with the first pick. (To be continued.) )
