After the Howard trade was finalized and the coaching team was confirmed, Chen An and Rob Brown. Hennigan is not so busy, but the two are not idle, keeping an eye on the news about the draft picks, as the draft convention gets closer and closer, there are more and more rumors about the draft pick trade, but during this period, the news about the Howard trade has dominated the headlines every day, especially in the first five days of the draft, and the amazing news is reported by Woshen.

Shock! Five teams of thirteen people are in an unprecedented big trade, and Warcraft is about to join the Lakers! 》

As soon as this news came out, the entire alliance was shocked, because everyone knew that Woshen would never break fake news, so everyone was sure that Howard Warcraft was indeed leaving the Magic team, and the Magic team would enter a rebuild. And the outside world saw that the Magic team actually bet on James in this deal. After Harden was offered a four-year, $65 million contract, almost everyone began to sing the Magic down, even Woshen. [Unlike the original history, Harden's contract was re-signed after the early termination of the rookie contract, and the new season will take effect.] 】

At the end of this report, Wo Shen took great pains to evaluate the trade of the five teams involved in this transaction, and the 76ers only got an F, undoubtedly ranking first from the bottom, and became the unjust leader in the eyes of everyone. The Magic team only got E+, ranking second to last, and Woshen believes that the arrival of James Harden and Evan Turner cannot make up for the gap left by the departure of Howard and Turkoglou, and even predicts that the Magic team will be difficult to achieve 30 wins in the new season, and the new season may be at the bottom of the league.

As for the Thunder and the Lakers, they have both received A+ ratings, tied for the first place, and the outside world is very much looking forward to the team-up of Warcraft and Kobe Bryant and Gasol, at this stage Nash has not yet decided to join the Lakers, if history does not deflect, when the new F4 is established, I don't know how many people will explode, and then be disappointed to death in the explosion.

As for the Thunder, Woshen's evaluation is also quite high, the Thunder is a small ball market, and the team owner's capital is not strong enough, and the outside world knows that it is impossible for them to keep Ibaka and Harden, because Westbrook's new contract will take effect next season, and if they really keep both of them, the Thunder will have to pay tens of millions of luxury taxes, which is no joke. So Harden's departure is doomed, but bringing in Afflalo, who is on the rise and has a lot of combat power, and Tekoglu, who has not yet collapsed, makes the outside world still expect the Thunder, thinking that they are still the biggest competitors of the Heat BIG3, not to mention that this deal also allows the Thunder to get two draft picks.

If you follow the original historical development, the Magic did reach new heights in the 12-13 season, only 20 wins, ranking first in the league, but now, not to mention anything else, there is a Harden in hand, Chen An also firmly believes that he can definitely lead the team to more than 30 wins, or even 40 wins, and even enter the playoffs.

It's a pity that the outside world doesn't see it that way, and as soon as Woshen's report came out, the local media in Orlando immediately swarmed up to follow suit. Hennegan criticized him, even Harden was lying on the gun, and even a local TV talk show joked that this was Devos in order to maintain his dignity, deliberately hired a garbage coach to serve as the general manager, in order to send Howard away and then start to mess around.

In short, Chen An is behind the blame, and while bearing the spit offensive, he got a high-pick draft pick by swinging the team, or it won't be long before the Chinese coach has to get out.

As soon as this wave of follow-up came out, the local Magic fans in Orlando were completely incited, and no one blamed Howard for leaving, let alone burning the jersey, but some people came to the door of the stadium every day to protest, as for the content on the sign, almost all of them were 'return my Warcraft, the new coach get out' and the like.

In the face of such a situation, Chen An was really a little angry, and at the same time he was a little uneasy, for fear that the radical black buddy fans would shoot him when he went out, so he recently lived in a simple house, simply lived in the stadium, and was busy from morning to night every day.

"It's okay now, we've all been scolded as pigs' heads, if the results of the new season can't go up, maybe those fans will do something."

Rob, who was complacent about finalizing the Howard deal a few days ago. Hennegan is now nesting in the arena with Chen An with a gloomy face, seeing this guy's declining face, Chen An said: "It's not that there is no good news, Woshen predicts that our draft pick next year will become a quasi-champion pick, how about it?" Do you have eyebrows over there? ”

"Yes, yes, but the order doesn't meet your requirements."

"Which ones are they?"

"The eighth-place Raptors and the ninth-place Pistons are both interested in trading draft picks."

The Magic's picks this year are the 19th pick in the first round and the 19th pick in the second round, which are both low and difficult to make a difference. And now there are only five days left before the draft, and the draft picks cannot be traded from the day before the draft, so there is not much time left, and you must make a move in three days.

Chen An pinched his eyebrows and checked the draft picks of the Raptors and Pistons, the Raptors were directly excluded, but the Pistons gave him some ideas, and then said: "You go and ask the Pistons if they are willing to use their No. 9 pick in the first round and No. 4 pick in the second round this year to exchange with us, and we can have this year's first and second rounds, plus 14 years of first-round picks." ”

"You're gambling! But when it comes to such a bid, the Pistons are most likely willing, after all, we are now underestimated to only 20 wins. ”

Rob. Hennigan shook his head, with a sad face, he knows very well the future of the team represented by the draft picks, but Chen An is sent out so easily, once Harden's arrival does not achieve the expected effect, the Magic team may not be able to turn over for several years.

"You think about it, it's better to have a 14-year first-round swap, and a big deal to add a 14-year second-round pick to them."

Chen An doesn't care, but in order to take care of Rob. Hennigan's emotions and he still gave way to Rob. Hennigan nodded and said, "I'll do my best, it shouldn't be too difficult." ”

"This is just the first step, if the Pistons agree, then use the No. 9 pick and next year's first-round pick to trade the Cavaliers' No. 4 pick and No. 24 pick, and if they don't want to, they can lower the requirements and change the No. 4 pick in the first round and No. 4 in the second round."

Chen's string of draft picks is simply gambling, but he has to, and his goal is extremely clear, which is to get the No. 5 pick and cut off Lillard before the No. 6 pick to the Trail Blazers!

Lillard was actually Chen An's first choice at the beginning, mainly because he didn't expect Harden's stubble at that time, and now that Harden has been finalized, then take Lillard again, such a backcourt double gun is simply not too gorgeous. Lillard's ability is undoubted, he averaged 19 points, 6.5 assists, 3.1 rebounds per game in his rookie season, won the honor of the best rookie, rookie king, and will grow into the league's top scorer and breakthrough player in the future.

In the original historical trajectory, after the Trail Blazers selected Lillard, in addition to his rookie season, the next four seasons have made the playoffs, especially in the 13-14 season, Lillard's 0-second defeat of the Rockets is too impressive, this guy's ability at key moments is much more reliable than Harden.

"You're crazy, who are you going to choose, he's worth such a big investment?"

Rob. Hennegan really doesn't understand where Chen An's confidence comes from, and so far, Chen An has not told him the real goal of the draft, but at this point, he can't object to anything, he can only follow Chen An on the road of gambling farther and farther, either win a lot of money or lose the essence.
