The Eagles were out of the limelight in the draft.

When David Stern announced that the Hawks had selected Oden with the first pick, fans began to fantasize that the team would be a championship contender in two years, that their current power forward Josh Smith was an All-Star in his own right, and that Joe Johnson, the new "King of the Hawks," was a star player in his first year. They are now lacking only a quality center to sit on the inside.

Oden is considered to be the most dominant interior player after O'Neal and Duncan in the past 10 years, and at the time of the draft, the NBA's official evaluation put Oden as a "myth": "If there is no age limit for Stern, Oden may have kicked Bagnani off the top pick in the draft last year, as another player in the league who can dominate the restricted area or even the entire basketball court after the big shark O'Neal, Oden not only has enough height and strong body, but his running ability and agility are embarrassing." His basketball IQ is also impressive, especially in terms of defense, his ability to fill and block is certainly at the top three level even in the current NBA, and he is also a loyal enforcer of overall basketball, and will not sacrifice the interests of the whole team to achieve personal success. At the same time, he has excellent leadership skills, gnaws the dirty work, values the tactics of the coach, he can do anything. ”

Now the biggest lack in the league is capable big men, at the moment, the Grizzlies and Celtics are extremely depressed, they have such a bad record, they have a good chance of winning the champion, but they didn't expect to be robbed by a team that took shit luck. Even Durant, who plays with a flashy style of play, is not as influential as Oden, and there is no team in the league that does not want Oden.

However, this is not the end. They actually used Auden as a bargaining chip on the day of the draft and traded Yao Ming for "four for one"!

People all over the world who follow the draft are shocked!

In NBA history, there has never been a case where the top pick in the draft was traded on the same day. Not to mention Oden, who was traded or predicted to change the NBA landscape. From his title "Auden the Great", you can see how high everyone's expectations are for him, you must know that James's title is just "Little Emperor", and another one in history who is called the Great is Jordan!

There has never been a situation where the top trader has been made before because there is no one worth trading. Oden's trade for Yao Ming is different, Yao Ming entered the best team this season and won the Finals MVP, no matter how good Oden is, he also needs to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, and his development prospects are good, but he will definitely not be able to become a top player at the beginning. So, no one thinks that the Eagles are trading at a loss.

The idea of the Eagles is simple, they are a young team, although they have good players, but they are inexperienced, Yao Ming has played in the Finals, he is experienced, he can help the team immediately, and more importantly, Yao Ming's market value.

No NBA team will ignore Yao Ming's commercial value, and whoever holds the No. 1 pick that year will choose Yao Ming. When Yao Ming's contract expired, there were also many teams hoping to attract him to join, but Yao Ming renewed his contract with the Rockets, which was very disappointing. Recently, Yao Ming suddenly had a conflict with the rocket and asked for a transfer. In the case of Chinese fans crusading against the Rockets together, there is a possibility of transfer. Otherwise, the Rockets would have sold the whole team and would not trade Yao Ming.

There is probably only one person in this world who can make the Eagles executives willing to trade Oden as a bargaining chip, and that is Yao Ming. And so, the incredible deal was made.

The deal was seen as a win-win. The Rockets got Oden, who has the potential to be the strongest interior player in the future, and Oden has the speed and is likely to work better with Maddy, ensuring the team's competitiveness.

The Hawks have become the Eastern powerhouse next season, the home team in the hearts of Chinese fans, and have various opportunities for business cooperation with China. At present, the Rockets have been portrayed by the media as a cold-blooded team that squeezes Yao Ming...... The Hawks trade was like saving Yao Ming, easily gaining the favor of Chinese fans.

Hawks owner Michael Gillen said immediately after the deal was reached: "The Hawks will establish Yao Ming as the core of the team, arrange tactics around Yao Ming, and impact the playoffs next season!" ”

Rockets owner Alexander said that the reason why Oden was chosen was because of Oden's potential, and what Yao Ming did for the Rockets, Oden can also do.

"Our goal is to build a really young core and maintain the salary structure, and the Rockets will still have a good chance of defending the championship next season." Alexander said.

The defending champion? If Maddie gets injured, it would be nice to make the playoffs! Wait for Ranton to slowly experiment with Auden and Maddie! Hayes thought to himself. Although he didn't have a crush on the rockets, he didn't expect them to be so unlucky. Oden faced season reimbursement three times over the next four seasons and played just 82 games in total...... It is the largest "glass" in NBA history! He might not be as good as Kwame Brown, or at least Brown can play.

"What do you think of this deal? I'll have a future with the Eagles, right? Yao Ming asked, the results of the Hawks last season were too bad, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart.

"Not before, but with you, I think I'll make it to at least the second round of the East next season. As long as you don't get hurt, remember to let the Yao team negotiate with them and don't play more than 35 minutes per game. Health is more important than anything else, and I never thought that the biggest competitor in the future would be the Eagles, and it would be the Eagles of which you are the star! Hayes said with a sigh. He hopes that Yao Ming is good, but in the current situation of the Eagles, he feels a lot of pressure, and if he wants not to be suppressed by the Eagles, he has to put a lot of thought into the transaction. How strong Yao Ming's interior attack is, he can't be clearer.

"Haha, thank you for your auspicious words, I also think this is the best result. I'm going to talk to the Eagles manager, I'm going to go first. Yao Ming said with a smile.

"Good luck!"

After Yao Ming left, Hayes greeted Garnett, Iverson and a few other friends, chatted casually, and left the draft venue early to return to the hotel.

At night, there was a knock on Hayes' door.

As soon as Hayes opened the door, he was frightened: "I'll wipe it!" Michael, don't laugh at such an exaggeration, okay? I thought you Julia Roberts was possessed! ”

"Choosing Yi Jianlian is really the most correct, do you know how many people are trading with us today?" Jordan laughed.

"What's the situation? Who are the teams? These things were expected by Hayes, and now Yi Jianlian is much more popular than Noah and others!

Jordan sat down on the couch after entering the room and said, "It's all verbal now, and the Bucks are willing to send anyone other than Reed, Mo Williams, and Bogut for us to pick and choose." ”

"The Bucks don't have to think about it, the whole team is full of cancer, and they should tear it down and rebuild!" Hayes Khan said. The stag is really haunted! Yi Jianlian has refused their tryouts, and they are still wishful thinking and asking for a trade.

"What about this?" Jordan said excitedly: "The Warriors are willing to trade Jason Richardson and newly drafted rookie Jemario Davidson for Yi Jianlian and our $10 million trade exception. ”

Jordan's mind became faster, he used to think that Yi Jianlian was the person that the Bobcats needed, but now when he saw that the other party sent a dunk king, he immediately considered a substitution. Richardson's status in Jordan's heart is higher than that of Yi Jianlian.

Mr. Yi and his agent also want to join a city with a large Chinese population, including Golden State. The Warriors are not dead set on Yi Jianlian now, and it can be said that they are happy with each other.

However, Hayes immediately poured cold water on Jordan and said: "Richardson's 6-year 70 million big contract, this year's state has begun to decline, he has good ability, but the surname-to-price ratio is very low, if you get him over, it is equivalent to eating a bad contract with the Warriors." That Davidson is useless, and the business is losing a lot. ”

Jordan's expression changed, and he said, "And the Suns, they are willing to send Marion to make a multi-player trade with us." ”

The Suns were the unluckiest team of the year. The playoffs were swept, manager and head coach D'Antoni was sacked, and the new coach was not yet in office, and the plan to strengthen the roster through the draft was in vain.

They could have gotten a top draft spot, because the Hawks reluctantly signed an unequal treaty to get the Suns' scorer, Joe Johnson, and gave away the "top-three protected" picks. This means that if the Hawks draw the No. 1 pick or the top pick and the flower, the draft pick will still be the Hawks, and if they can't get the top three in the '07 draft, they will have to give this pick to the Suns.

The Hawks' regular season results weren't terrible, with the Celtics, Grizzlies, SuperSonics, Bucks, 、...... Multiple teams have a better chance of finishing in the top three than him. So the Hawks have always been expected to get the 6th or 7th pick, so much so that the major media directly took this pick as the Sun's. The Suns had publicly expressed their interest in Yi Jianlian before the game, and as long as they had a draft pick, they would trade him to the team, but the Hawks suddenly broke out and won the draft pick in one fell swoop, creating a miracle. The sun could only watch Yi Jianlian enter the bobcat.

"Marion can't do it, this guy doesn't have the ability to attack with the ball, we don't have Nash here, his stats will definitely drop below 15 points, plus the contract expires, the Suns are doing this to free up the salary, and they are making more money." Hayes said again.

Hayes is now impressed by Jordan's ability to look at people. It's no wonder he signed Carroll's bad contract in exchange for extremely inefficient people like Dior and Stephen Jackson.

"What about the 76ers? They're also interesting. Jordan asked.

The 76ers have also been interested in Yi Jianlian, and they previously offered the Bobcats to trade their 11th and 21st draft picks for the Bobcats' 6th draft pick, but the trade was rejected by the Bobcats.

Now the 76ers still have no intention of giving up on bringing in Yi Jianlian, and they are willing to pay the price of letting the Bobcats choose any player on the team except Iguodala. It sounds fascinating, but if you look at the 76ers' roster, you will find that except for Iguodala, it is basically scrap.

Jordan said several trade proposals, and Hayes seemed to be losing money. However, this is only the first day, and the lynx has time to decide whether Yi Jianlian will stay or not.
