After receiving a call from Zhuge Wenbo, Zhang Guan immediately rushed to Yiming Consulting Company.

As soon as Zhang Guan entered the door, he saw Zhuge Wenbo leaning on the sofa chair, crossing Erlang's legs, looking very comfortable, Zhang Guan immediately asked: "Brother Wenbo, what is the news from the United States?" ”

"The CAA has negotiated with the Boston Celtics in the NBA, and the Celtics are willing to draft you with the No. 30 pick in the second round." Zhuge Wenbo opened his mouth and said.

"Pick No. 30 in the second round? That is, the 60th pick, the last in the NBA draft. Zhang Guan said with some dissatisfaction.

"The 60th pick is not easy. The CAA company initially found the Miami Heat, who had the 22nd pick in the second round, and the Heat's coach Pat Riley also had a good relationship with the CAA company, but this year's Heat's record was too poor, only 15-67, and Pat Riley also resigned as head coach because of this, so the Heat's draft pick was not obtained. In general, this year's rookie level is still very good, and the Heat probably want to bet on their second-round No. 22 pick! ”

Zhuge Wenbo continued: "As for the Celtics, they have formed a big three this year, and the record shows that their lineup is relatively complete and does not need to change much, and the No. 30 pick in the second round is unlikely to select players who can be strengthened, but it is better to sell them to CAA." CAA is extraordinary in the United States, and there are many big-name players in the NBA who are under CAA, and if you maintain a good relationship with CAA, it will definitely be beneficial in terms of player trading in the future. ”

"That's right!" Zhang Guan nodded, in the future, the Big Three of the Heat, Paul going to the Clippers, etc., there is a shadow of CAA manipulation behind them.

……

Heading into June, there are two months left in the countdown to the Olympics.

The Olympic pledge meeting was already completed in early May, and by this time, the qualification for each event had actually been basically determined. Athletes are starting to make their final sprint for the Olympics.

In the U.S., as the NBA draft day approaches, predictions and rankings are coming, and scouts are traveling across the country and around the world to provide NBA teams with information on rookies.

In mid-June, the Boston Celtics defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 4-2, marking the end of the NBA's full season and officially kicking off the NBA draft.

2008 was considered a draft year, and the rookies were even considered better than the 2003 year. And if you look at the names of the candidates, they are indeed full of talent. There are many who have grown into the mainstay of the future, such as Rose, Westbrook and others who have grown into superstars in the future, and there are many All-Star level players, and the rookies in the first round have basically established themselves in the NBA in the future.

The time finally came on June 27, and the 2008 NBA Draft was held at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York City.

In the VIP box of the theater, the author is an elderly man and a middle-aged man, and at first glance the two look very similar, and the middle-aged figure is a younger version of the elderly.

That old man is none other than Golden State Warriors head coach Don Nelson. The basketball world also calls him Nelson Sr.; And next to him is his son, Donnie Nelson, the general manager of the Dallas Mavericks, as people call him Nelson Jr.

"The quality of this year's rookies is still quite good, comparable to that of 2003. But alas. The Mavericks don't have a first-round pick in their hands. Little Nelson spoke.

"That's why I'm sitting in the same box with you, you don't have a first-round pick, and I'm not afraid that you will rob me of the players I value." Old Nelson said with a smile.

"Okay, Dad. So tell me secretly, who do you value? Are you going to pick a big man? Nelson Jr. continued, "The Warriors have the No. 14 pick in the first round, even though they are last in the lottery area. But it's also a lotto area. ”

Old Nelson nodded, "I do have a big man." Chris Webb is retiring, and I need a big man to come off the bench on the inside and fill the void where Webb left. ”

"There are a lot of good big guys this year as well. Love's words will definitely be selected by the top five, but the twin Lopez brothers will probably be good as well, as well as Jason Thompson, Maris Speights, Roy Hibbert and Javier McGee, all of whom are very physically gifted interior players, especially McGee, who is really physical and plays with energy. Little Nelson spoke.

"You're bullish on McGee?" Nelson Sr. continued: "I think Hibbert will be better, at least Hibbert will be a good center. ”

"Hibbert? Daddy, are you going to pick him? He's tall, but I think he's just a blue-collar player at best. Little Nelson spoke.

"No, no, no, I'm not going to pick Hibbert, I don't need that kind of big centre-forward, he's too slow to fit into my tactics." Old Nelson lowered his voice and said, "I'm going to pick Anthony Randolph." ”

"Randolph? He seems to be too thin! Physical test data shows that he is not yet 90 kilograms! An interior player, weighing less than 90 kilograms, simply can't adapt to the fierce confrontation in the NBA, and he will be knocked away. Nelson Jr. spoke.

"But Randolph is very well-rounded and has a lot of potential, he can play from the number one to the number five, and if he can step up in terms of confrontation, it will fit my tactical system very well." Nelson Sr. continued: "Let's not talk about the Warriors, let's talk about the Mavericks!" It seems that the Mavericks only have one second-round pick of the 21st pick this year! This is not good news for Carlisle. ”

Carlisle in Nelson's mouth is the famous "Rick Carlisle" in the NBA. The original head coach of the Mavericks was Avery Johnson, who was known as the "little general", but Johnson did not bring the Dallas Mavericks to the playoffs this season, so he was fired and the more well-known Carlisle became the new head coach of the Mavericks.

However, the Mavericks gave away future draft picks in the process of trading Kidd, resulting in the Mavericks not having first-round picks this year, and at the same time, due to the two big contracts of Nowitzki and Kidd, the Mavericks will also have a hard time making a difference in the free market, which is certainly not good news for new coach Carlisle.

Little Nelson spread his hands and said, "I can only hope that Carlisle can turn decay into magic!" With salary space limitations, it's unlikely that we'll have much change to our roster this year, but Nowitzki and Kidd should have no problem making the playoffs if they both play better. ”

"So who did Carlisle decide to use this second-round No. 21 pick?" Old Neil asked.

"Regarding this second-round pick No. 21, our boss Cuban hopes to use it to pick Zhang Guan! That Zhang Guan in China. Nelson Jr. spoke. (To be continued.) )
