On June 28, 2014, the NBA Draft was held at Madison Square Garden in New York. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Another draft year since 2012, this year's draft was highly regarded, with the entire lottery filled with talented rookies, from the first to the fourteenth pick.

Needless to say, the Cavaliers' luck is that they got the top pick for the second year in a row, and three times in the past four years, although the record is still not very good.

There are three nominees for this year's No. 1 pick, the first being Wiggins from Canada, the second being Parker from the United States, and the third being Embiid from Africa.

The three of them are the top three in this year's draft rankings, and there are no surprises, it just so happens that the top three in the draft are the three of them, and the order is the same as the ranking.

Liu Ren also watched TV at home and followed this draft, from the first pick to the fifth pick and there is no difference in his memory, Wiggins went to the Cavaliers, and may soon be traded, Parker, known as Anthony Jr., went to the Bucks, Embiid, the old injury number, went to the 76ers, and I don't know if I can play it, anyway, Embiid in Liu Ren's memory Embiid has been injured for the next two years.

After that, things began to change, because the Lakers were no longer in the lottery area, the draft picks of the teams starting from the seventh pick were increased by one place, Randle, who should have been selected by the Lakers, was exposed to a knee injury, and the draft market has been declining, and the Lakers were already questioned when they selected him, and now the Lakers don't choose him, and the lottery team doesn't dare to consider him, until the twelfth pick was traded by the Warriors with two future draft picks to this draft pick!

Liu Ren saw Randle being selected by the Warriors, and thought to himself, is this a swap of "big and small Greens"?

Finally came the thirteenth pick that Liu Ren was concerned about, and the Timberwolves were originally the fourteenth pick, because the Lakers were out of the lottery area, and they rose one place.

Judging from the fact that the Timberwolves management likes to collect talented men, they will definitely pick LaVine away, which Liu Ren is very sure of.

But because the Timberwolves love to collect talented men, in fact, their backcourt player talent is about to explode, and there is a Rubio who has played at a quasi-first-class point guard level, so if they are given some benefits, they will simply trade this draft pick! Both Liu Ren and Kupchak's team are quite sure of this.

Each pick has three minutes before the team to consider, as their target is likely to have been picked by another team before.

Just before the Timberwolves were about to hand over the draft envelope, the official news of a three-way trade was announced.

The Lakers sent the 29th pick in the first round this year and the second-round pick from the Bucks in 2015, the signing rights of European player Farred Jeans with the 49th pick in the second round in 2007 and 3 million cash compensation to get the Timberwolves' 13th pick in the first round this year, Jeremy Lin of the Rockets!

The Rockets sent Jeremy Lin and a 20th pick in the first round this year to sign the Lakers as a 2007 second-round pick.

The Timberwolves sent the 13th pick in the first round of this year, the 20th pick in the first round of the Rockets this year, the 2015 second-round pick of the Bucks and 3 million in cash!

The owner of the thirteenth pick became the Lakers!

The Lakers used this pick to select Zach LaVine from UCLA!

LaVine didn't pick any of the top 10 picks, he already wanted to curse, and his initial draft ranking could be ranked in the top eight, but other teams have always been skeptical of a player who is only physically gifted and has relatively average skills, and he has already thought that he is going to fall out of the lottery zone, and maybe even fall to the second round like Jordan Jr. of the Clippers!

Jordan Jr. was also a member of the Little Green House when he was drafted that year, but he didn't expect that no team would select him after the first round, and he was picked up by the Clippers.

Just when LaVine felt that the world was dark, a super big pie smashed on his head, and he was drafted by the Lakers!

The draft year is very eye-catching, but the same suspense is not big, almost all teams will choose the talented, such as Wiggins will pick Parker if he is drafted, Parker will choose Embiid if he is drafted, and each team will pick the best of the rest.

So what fans pay the most attention to is not which team picks whom, the previous draft rankings are basically predicted, and they are more concerned about whether there is a trade!

The Lakers made a splash by raising the 29th pick to the 13th pick with little to nothing.

No one is going to say how the Timberwolves are, because the Timberwolves got more draft picks they wanted, and they also got a sum of cash, which is enough cash to pay the Timberwolves' salary for the first year of the two draft picks this year!

The Lakers' selection of LaVine is not surprising, LaVine said when he was running for the election that he wanted to go to the Lakers the most, and went to the Lakers draft training camp many times to try, the Lakers also lack point guards, McCollum is always a scoring guard, playing point guard is relatively wasteful, Nash is old, Famar and Marshall are actually useless, in this era when all team point guards are blowout, the Lakers' point guard has always been a very big loophole.

The trade came to Jeremy Lin, the selection of LaVine, and Nash, who still has more than ten minutes of combat power, fans described Kupchak's trade as a god operation!

The only thing that makes people complain is the Rockets, and everyone can see that the Rockets are trying to save money.

The Rockets now have Beverley, a defensive giant, and also got Harden and Howard, Jeremy Lin and Asik, who signed big contracts that year, have become chicken ribs, and even chicken ribs are not as good as chicken ribs for the Rockets, it is useless to keep them, and they still need to pay a salary of 30 million next season, although their three-year contract occupies 8.33 million salary space per year, but they will get a salary of 15 million in the third year.

But overall, this is just a painless deal for the entire draft, Jeremy Lin is no longer the crazy Lin of the year, LaVine is just a rookie with excellent physical talent but mediocre skills, it is not certain that he can play or not, this year there are many more talented people like LaVine, and people are just complaining about the Rockets' desperate approach to save money.

People's opinions this time are not wrong, whether it is Liu Ren or the Lakers management, they all know that LaVine can't be pointed out in a short period of time, Kobe, who was more talented back then, took two years to play the main team, and no matter how good LaVine's talent is, he has to train for two or three years, and then it will be time for LaVine and McCollum to take the position after Kobe Bryant and Nash retire.

So after selecting LaVine, the first thing the Lakers management has to do is ideological work......
