The Lakers continued to trade draft picks, trading the 12th pick in the first round for the Kings' 21st pick plus the Kings' first-round pick (top-five protection) next year. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The world was in an uproar again, and the Lakers had been tinkering with it several times in a row, and the otherwise calm draft had become even more interesting.

"Is Mitch Kupchak a hired sailor by Adam Shaw?"

"Maybe the Lakers aren't here for the draft this year, he's here to tease."

"What are the Lakers doing? What exactly does Mitch Kupchak want to select? It's a headache. ”

"Trading the No. 10 lottery with Reggie, and then trading down continuously, there seems to be a way to this......"

At the draft, Kupchakle's nose was crooked, and he traded a Reggie Jackson for three first-round picks, which is a very good result, and he will not have to worry about draft picks at all for the next two years.

However, now that the Lakers' top draft pick is the 21st pick, it is obviously a bit impossible to select Zach LaVine, and it is inevitable to initiate the No. 2 trade.

Kupchak sighed slightly and dialed Pelicans general manager Dale Demps instead.

Minutes later, just after the Kings had just made their choice, another trade surfaced.

"After the draft was officially confirmed, the Lakers confirmed that they had reached a deal with the Pelicans, and Mitch Kupchak sent starting small forward Draymond Green, and got the 14th pick of the first round from the Pelicans and the 16-year Pelicans first-round pick (unprotected)."

As soon as this deal appeared, it immediately caused quite a shock.

Many general managers who coveted Green were immediately extremely annoyed, and if they knew that the Lakers were willing to send Green, they were definitely willing to spend more chips than the Pelicans.

You know, in the finals, Green was quite successful in defending James, in terms of personal contribution, he was able to contribute an average of 8.0 points, 8.7 boards, 6.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in 7 games, and he is a fairly comprehensive forward player.

Considering his 24-year-old, it's clear that he still has a lot of prospects ahead of him.

After the Finals, ESPN and other media outlets also conducted a very detailed analysis of Green, and then came to the conclusion that Green is more efficient in the No. 4 position, and he can be used as a power forward, while making cameo appearances at the No. 3 position and the No. 5 position in the small lineup.

That kind of evaluation makes Green a popular player, and many teams want him.

However, the Lakers did not reveal any intention of trading Green from start to finish.

didn't expect that in today's draft, Kupchak would trade Green for two first-round picks from the Pelicans.

Everything was so sudden that many people didn't even react.

But then, some of the old fritters in the critics began to express their opinions.

"The Lakers used to have 12 picks, but now they have sent Green, who has proven his potential, away for the 14th pick, what kind of medicine is this Mickey Kupchak selling in the gourd?"

Such doubts are also the doubts of the vast majority of people.

Because if the Lakers did have a player they wanted to choose in the lottery, then before, he could have used the 12th pick to pick ah, but he didn't expect to trade to the Kings, and then trade another 14th pick.

Such an approach is difficult to explain.

However, as everyone knows, Chu Xuan and Kupchak are also going on heart-pounding adventures again and again.

You know, they've been betting on other teams not to pick Zach LaVine. And trading downwards again and again can make the Lakers' draft picks play a higher value.

Judging by the current situation, they did get the bet right.

All the way up to the 12th pick, no, to the 13th pick, no team chose Zach LaVine.

"The Trail Blazers chose Bosnia-Herzegovina's Yusuf Nurkic, it's time for us to choose, whether to continue the trade." It was the Lakers' turn again, and Kupchak's face suddenly relaxed.

Chu Xuan looked in the direction where Zach Laven was at this time, and the young man was burying his head on the table.

Obviously, he is still under pressure, and he is afraid that the Lakers will break their word and not choose him, after all, this is a situation that has happened many times in the history of the NBA draft.

If the Lakers don't pick him, then other teams will hardly pick him with a particularly high pick, because he hides his strength in the Chicago Union training, and other teams have a lot of reservations when they try him out individually.

So, he's very passive. And all because a Chinese named Chu Xuan persuaded him and made him choose to believe unconditionally.

Doing so, for Raven, was completely a gamble, all because of Chu Xuan's words.

"The future Lakers are yours, and I will train you as a successor to Kobe."

……

"Mitch, don't trade any further, choose. The last spot in the lotto area, which would be a good result. I don't think we should let the lads down. Chu Xuan smiled slightly, his face extremely calm.

Kupchak thought a little and felt that the 14th pick should be used, and if it was traded, there was no guarantee that someone would make an upset selection of Zach LaVine.

"It's the Lakers' turn, and this time Mitch Kupchak won't trade draft picks any more, right?"

Barkley has a black face, he wants to leave Kupchak very much now, because he has no sense of existence today, Chu Xuan and Kupchak have successfully stolen the show, becoming the two people who attracted the most attention on today's draft night.

Sure enough, there was no news of the deal.

Xiao Hua walked out of the backstage with the 14th pick in his hand.

Everyone can't help but look forward to it, have the Lakers finally made a move? Who is the first sign?

"The Lakers have been active in the draft for so long, and it should be this person. Who the hell is it? ”

The footage of the scene was given to Kupchak and Chu Xuan, both of whom were smiling, so that people could not see any emotion.

At this time, Xiao Hua spoke......

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. The Los Angeles Lakers drafted Zach LaVine from UCLA, a six-foot-and-five-inch guard, with the 14th pick in the first round. ”

It turned out to be Zach Lavin!

Many people feel surprised, but there is also a sense of sudden realization.

It seems that after entering 14 years last season, several of the main players of UCLA and the Lakers have come closer.

However, Zach LaVine, as a first-year student, doesn't seem to have the strength to play as a rookie in the lotto area.

And, judging from several training camp experiences, LaVine has not shown much excellence other than outstanding physical fitness.

But why did the Lakers put so much effort into choosing him?

Could it be that the two sides have reached an agreement a long time ago? LaVine released water at training camp?

If that's the case, it's really incredible. (To be continued.) )
