724. The Most Messy Pre-Draft Trade Ever – Durant Leads Wide!
In the past month, the sports press has been slaughtered by the Lakers!
Since the Western Conference between the Lakers and the Warriors, the Lakers have been slaughtering, whether it is sweeping the Warriors, crushing the Cavaliers, or Liu Ren's injured Cavaliers counterattacking, or Kobe Bryant turning the tide...... And that's not all, after the Finals, before the start of the draft, you can make a trade that must be completed with this year's draft picks, and the Lakers have also said that you have no news and we are here to help you.
Due to the poor quality of rookies this year, there are very few trades for draft picks, and all of the deals that happen about draft picks are done by the Lakers......
Now the Lakers, as the defending champions, actually hold three lottery picks, namely the No. 1 pick of the Suns, the No. 3 pick of the Bucks, and the No. 12 pick of the Rockets.
Of course, the Rockets' No. 12 pick is really useless, and if you choose the seventh or eighth pick, there will be no one to choose from, otherwise a lottery lottery The Rockets will not be able to compensate the Lakers in vain.
Just as the Lakers were slaughtering back-to-back editions, one team said they were upset that they had been ignored.
Isn't it just a big deal to be able to make a deal that includes draft picks!
On the day of Kobe's official contract renewal, the Knicks came out to pay attention!
OJ broke the news firsthand that the Knicks and the Bulls reached a deal, and Derrick Rose and Joaquin Noah, the pair who once played the league's No. 1 record, will both join the Knicks!
After the finals, the league's revenue statistics for this year and the salary cap estimate for next season have come out, and the salary cap for next season is 99 million! It's a little bit short of 100 million, but that's not a thing!
The salary cap of more than 20 million skyrocketed so that the Knicks made a deal after the Bulls accepted a big contract to eat Robin Lopets!
The Knicks sent Robin Lopez, Jose Calderon, Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Ewan Moore from the Bulls, the No. 11 pick in the first round this year and a top-five first-round pick in 2018!
The Zen master said that only one transaction is needed, and the attention has arrived, and there is a feeling of being in ashes between talking and laughing......
Rose, Wade, Anthony, Stoudemire, Noa...... This lineup looks scary!
Of course, if it is to go back to five years ago, this lineup, the rest of the league will not have to play, the championship will be given to them directly, and even the Lakers will not be the opponent of everyone in this lineup back to five years ago.
If it had been five years ago, this lineup would have been announced as a suspension by other team owners.
However, this is no longer 2011, but 2016.
Although the Zen master's goal has been achieved and the Big Apple has the strongest attention, not everyone is optimistic.
This lineup looks beautiful, but it is like the most beautiful, but the most poisonous flower in the Western Hemisphere - belladonna, like an anesthetic for entertainment, but the result of using it is really unpredictable!

The Warriors said we really don't want to make big news, we really don't want to, we just want to make a lot of money.
I really don't want to!
But, OJ said, you are like fireflies in the night, you can't hide your light.
If you want to say that the Lakers brought in Thompson, this is a long rumor, and the Knicks and the Bulls traded...... This is not incomprehensible, after all, Anthony is getting older year by year, and the voice of boss Dolan asking to win the championship is becoming more and more frequent, and it is normal for Zen masters to take a gamble.
The Lakers got the top pick and the Tanhua sign, which is understandable, save money, the Lakers now have Antetokounmpo, Liu Ren, Whiteside, Clarkson four core players who have not renewed their contracts, and Kobe's 12 million can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.
These are transactions that make sense.
And a bombshell thrown by OJ was simply unexpected, even incredible, unbelievable, completely unable to understand why this happened, this is a precedent that has never been seen before, people can't accept it, it's just crazy, and some people even say that it's stinky and shameless, and completely undignified......
The Thunder and the Warriors reached an agreement, and the Warriors sent the 29th pick in the first round of the year from the Lakers to the Thunder's Kevin Durant.
According to OJ, Durant said that he would not trade him to the Warriors, so he jumped out of his contract and became a free agent to go to the Warriors.
The Thunder were in a daze, and they expected that Durant might ask for a trade, and they might change teams if he didn't trade.
However, no one thought he would want to go to the Warriors! That's the team that just eliminated him!
However, Durant already had the documents in his hand, and it was obvious that the detonator did not agree, so he directly submitted the lawyer's letter to jump out of the contract.
What can the Thunder do, trade with the Warriors.
The Warriors said they sent a first-round pick to compensate the Thunder.
The Thunder had to accept it, or they would get nothing, just like the Cavaliers in 2010, who got a chicken pick and sent away one of the team's best players and even one of the best players in the league.
……
……
James said he wanted to have a toast with Durant.
James has always been regarded as a traitor before, and even after returning to the Cavaliers, he is also known as a coward, and he failed to win the championship twice and began to be ridiculed again.
However, there is one great man who has stepped up, and he is Durant!
Durant took off the traitor label from James with practical actions, which simply saved James from the dire situation!
Durant perfectly snatched the identity of a traitor and added a new label...... If you can't beat it, join in!
Durant joined the Warriors, and he was eliminated by the Warriors just a month ago!
Comparing Durant's approach, people suddenly feel that James doesn't seem to be so excessive, James didn't join the Celtics in 2010, nor did he join the Spurs in 2014, if he decided to go to these two teams twice, he would have already worn the championship in his hands, the Celtics in 2010 just reached the Finals, but in 2011 Pierce aged seriously, but Rondo is at his peak, Ray Allen is old and strong, Garnett is still the best defensive interior in the league, James went to the Celtics, They made it to the Finals, and Nowitzki could still play like a son against Garnett like he did against Bosh?
Garnett's fight against Nowitzki was simply complete, and in addition to scoring Garnett's two points less in the two-game record, he averaged 5 more rebounds, 4 assists, steals and blocks than Nowitzki per game, which were more than double that of Nowitzki!
Even if Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen can only survive until 2014, it's enough! Losing to the Spurs in 2014, James was still able to join the Spurs, and Popovich would never have refused, and then teamed up with Leonard and the troika.
What a perfect thing, nothing else at all.
But James didn't, he was happy to huddle, but he wouldn't throw himself into the enemy, and he couldn't join the game if he couldn't fight.
In contrast, James instantly became a good person!
Just when James finally found some fun and was ready to drink some wine, reality told him that there is a saying in China that blessings and misfortunes always depend on each other......
……
Irving saw Durant join the Warriors like this? it! It's that simple!
So, Owen also went to the Cavaliers management and found David Griffin, saying that I don't want to play with that thirty-year-old man, I'm going to find my own path, I'm going to be the boss!
Originally, David Griffin still wanted to appease Owen, after all, the relationship between the two is very strong, but the news has not leaked out, but the team's military spirit must be shaken, and when the time comes, it will be necessary to trade if the duck is on the shelves or not traded, and most players must try to trade when they apply for a trade.
However, the news leaked out, and the sources of every team in the NBA are ubiquitous.
OJ has a good apprentice, as the saying goes, the apprentice is taught to starve to death of the master, and OJ has already started to walk on this path.
OJ's apprentice, Shams Sharia, pen name Shams, broke the news as soon as he broke the news that Irving wanted to follow Durant's path and apply for a trade to leave the team!
And the team that Irving asks to go to is very clear, the Celtics, Spurs, Rockets, and 76ers choose one of the four!
If Irving just asks to leave the team, it is not such a big deal, the key is that the four teams he chose, except for the 76ers and the Cavaliers, do not have much enmity, and the other three teams are more or less extremely contradictory!
Not to mention the Spurs and Celtics, they are James' sworn enemies, the Rockets, who originally had no enmity with the Cavaliers, but their current head coach is D'Antoni, the head coach who has just beaten the Cavaliers twice!
In just ten days after the finals, there have been countless events that can be regarded as big news every offseason, and fans are ridiculed and ridiculed, and they can't help but be a little at a loss, what is this year!
