Chapter 346: Heavy Reinforcement, Business is Business!

David on stage. Stern glanced in the direction of the small green house, where is the future of the alliance and there is a real Chinese in it, although Lin Sen is very popular in Huaxia, but compared to a real Chinese person. Stern thinks it's still going to be worse, of course, on the premise that the Chinese guy can reach the heights he expects.

But David. Stern has also paid special attention to it before, if there is a team that is willing to cultivate and give him a chance to choose him, he believes that the Chinese young man will have no problem becoming a starter of an ordinary team.

Fourteen future stars sitting in the small green room are anxiously waiting for an opportunity that may change their fate. Fagan, a vampire, was given the indecent title of the chair man.

Danny. Fagan also became Dwight's midway post in the middle of the season. Howard's new economic man, but because of the repeated instigation of Dwight. Howard was so disgusted that he signed with Howard less than five months before Howard was dismissed. Howard will also be joining David in the near future. Falck's embrace.

Danny was fired in less than half a year. Fagan also became a joke in the circle for a while, and at this moment he and Yi Jianlian were sitting together and waiting.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Madison Square Garden, the venue for the NBA2007 Draft, and the time to welcome the best lads every year, I think everyone is looking forward to it as much as I do......"

Pritchard, the general manager of the Portland Trail Blazers, couldn't wait to hand in his selection, and the staff immediately walked out of the Trail Blazers' draft room and walked onto the stage.

"Portland would definitely choose Greg. Oden, but if we had this pick we would definitely pick Kevin. Durant, that lad. "Otis. Smith said with a smile as he looked at the TV screen.

"Of course. After all, we have Dwight. And our small forward position is the weak point of Kevin. Durant, that guy not only has the potential to be a scorer, but also a defensive specialist. Look at his long arms, it's terrifying. "Stan. Van Gundy continued.

Otis. Smith shook his head, "Stan, Henin told me he thought that Wilson. Chandler is a good small forward with height, offense and defense, and is expected to be drafted at the end of the first round, and New York is said to be interested in him, and New York has a draft pick of 23 and I want to try it. ”

And at this time David on the stage. Stern took the draft envelope handed over by the staff, looked up at the audience, smiled and opened the envelope: "The Portland Trail Blazers, who had the first pick in the 2007 draft, chose ......," David Stern deliberately lengthened his voice.

This made Greg in the little green room. Oden and Kevin. Durant also got nervous, although Durant knew that the Trail Blazers were far less interested in him than Oden.

On the other side, the room in Seattle is also expecting the Trail Blazers to make another choice. If the Trail Blazers select Durant, then they will choose Oden and go all out to keep Lewis and Ray. Alan.

Although this may be small, if the Trail Blazers do choose Durant, then it means that there is no need to rebuild for the SuperSonics. Durant was disappointed as well.

"Portland chose ...... Greg from Ohio. Oden, born on January 22, 1988, 7 feet tall and 285 pounds, plays as a center, he's a really great lad Let's congratulate him on Portland, Greg, welcome to the NBA! ”

Stay in the little green house Greg. Auden's heart was beating fast when he heard David. Stern's voice immediately stood up excitedly, and his already old forehead looked even older.

After hugging his parents' agent, Auden straightened his suit and walked to the stage. And Kevin. Durant also knew he would be going to Seattle if nothing else.

"Still didn't work out of the miracle, we chose Kevin. Durant additionally promised Boston! Supersonic General Manager Presti said helplessly. Choosing Durant means not leaving the Rashad he has cultivated. Lewis also means that the team is completely on the way to rebuild, for the sake of rebuilding and for Ray. Allen's trade request Plesty has only the option to trade for more draft picks and potential players.

And Danny in the Celtics draft room. Angie hears David. Stern's words also knew that his thoughts were one step closer, and at this time the phone rang, and he picked up the phone. Anji smiled: "I must make the Green Army reappear!" "Danny. Angie clenched her fists, "Trade now!" ”

"Greg is a really good big guy, but we should be sensible because it was a college game before the draft and we had to throw away some of the scouts' words, and their words were a lot of exaggerated." Hoffman said as he looked at Auden, who was speaking on stage.

"Hopefully Portland has picked the right guy this time, and as a former Portland player, even though they hated me at one point, I still expect them to complete the revival." Bill. Wharton shrugged, but soon changed his tone, "Portland has to change the team doctor if it wants to recover." ”

"Hey, Bill, do you still want to be sued?" Hoffman quipped that twenty years ago, Bill. Wharton had a stalemate with the team because he wanted the team to change the team doctor and refused to play for a long time. Wharton was taken to court by the Trail Blazers team doctor.

"Who cares, everyone can see the facts, and this little guy Greg has a relatively serious injury history in high school and college, this must be noted." Bill. Wharton pouted.

And this time David. Stern also spoke out about the Seattle SuperSonics' options.

"Seattle chose Kevin, which is the same as expected, then it also means that Seattle will be completely on the way to rebuild, according to previous rumors, Rashad is destined not to renew his contract and Allen is likely to be traded." Bill. Wharton said.

Yi Jianlian in the small green house once became a popular candidate for the No. 3 show under the rendering of the media, and the Chinese media on the other side of the ocean swore that he would become the second Nowitzki.

"The first two picks are out, and below are the Atlanta Hawks. They are actually lacking a defender. Last year they missed Linsen. This year they should choose Oden's teammate Mike according to the team's needs. Conley, but the Hawks have been showing interest in the big man before that, and the UAE is likely to be drafted. Zhang Lili said in the studio of the imperial court station, and the Chinese fans were also looking forward to it.

"Atalanta's selection is always unexpected, they have stockpiled a whole bunch of forward players, and they should have chosen Mike. Conley, but everyone knows that they only love big men, and this time it is likely to be in Huaxia Yi and Al. Horford and Joaquin. Noaa chose between the three. Hoffman looked at David as he opened the envelope. Stern said.

The Memphis Grizzlies' draft general manager, Wallace, expects the Hawks not to pick Horford, and if the Hawks don't pick Horford, they will choose Horford to replace Paul. Gasol. If you choose Horford, then go all out for Milicic and then choose Mike. Conley.

"The Atlanta Hawks they chose Florida Big Eyre. Horford, born June 3, 1986, is 6 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 245 pounds, plays as a center, let's congratulate him! "David. Stern's voice fell, some were happy, some were depressed.

"Good!" Danny. Angie was very happy with the result he needed for Jeff. Green because of Jeff. Green is the one the SuperSonics wants, while Yi Jianlian and Fagan and Grizzlies general manager Wallace are depressed.

"We chose Mike. Conley, I'm going to chase Dakko with all my might this time. Milicic, give him an important position and a contract I don't believe he doesn't like it. Wallace said through gritted teeth.

And Danny. Anji couldn't wait to hand over the envelope: "PP." Boston needs you, and Aaron's arrival is just the beginning. Believe me! ”

Paul. Pierce looked at Danny. Angie: "Danny, I hope so. ”

"Look, Seattle and Boston are traded, an absolute big deal!" Stan. Van Gundy's voice makes him and Isaiah. Thomas calls to communicate with Otis. Smith turned his head.

"Danny, this guy! But what can two scorers do? "Otis. Smith was shocked and spoke his mind.

"Wow, tonight's first trade and the first big trade of the year, and it's a super big deal, Allen is still out of Seattle, and he's going to form a frightening forward firepower with PP." Hoffman said as he looked at the subtitles typed on the big screen.

"Allenga's 35th pick in exchange for the fifth pick was drafted Jeff. Green and Delonti. West and former All-Star small forward Szczebiak, yes it's a big deal, but I think we should calm down Denver's golden twin guns are a realistic example of how two scorers don't necessarily make a qualitative change to the team, and of course PP and Allen are much better defensively than AI and Melo, but even then it's not easy for the two of them to cross Detroit and Orlando. "Bill. Wharton continued.

At this time, Milwaukee announced that it would choose Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian came to the stage with an expression that all Shijie people knew.

"Isaiah, it's absolutely impossible, Kailana definitely has a 46-player pick more than the last lottery pick, let alone a 46-player pick, you're completely insincere." Otis. Smith's voice grew louder.

Isaiah on the other end of the phone. Although Thomas is not capable as a head coach, his vision of people is absolute, and this summer the Knicks will also enter the rebuilding of young players is what the Knicks need, and he is very optimistic about Wilson. Chandler, though, didn't expect the Magic to offer a draft pick in his hands.

Although he is bullish on Wilson. Chandler But Chandler is a rookie who has not been tested by the NBA after all, so he made a request to get Azubuke, and also asked for the No. 46 pick, obviously he wants to kill Otis. Smith, but he miscalculated.

"Isaiah, since that's the case, forget it!" Otis. Smith hung up directly, "Dreaming, unless I'm kicked in the head by a donkey!" ”

"How?" Stan. Van Gundy asked, and Linson also looked at Otis. Smith.

"Isaiah. Thomas, that idiot, wanted to use a broken No. 23 pick to ask Kailana to add our No. 46 pick, and I suspect he was kicked in the head by a donkey. "Otis. Smith sneered.

Just then the phone rang, Otis. Smith picked up the phone in a huff, he thought it was Isaiah. Thomas called: "How did you figure it out?" ”

Petri, the general manager of the Kings on the other end of the phone, was stunned for a moment. Thinking about Otis. How would Smith know what he was thinking.

"Why don't you say it? It's simply impossible to want Kailana. A 23rd pick to sign I give you German. What about Brown and the No. 46 pick? "Otis. Smith said sensibly.

Hear Otis. Smith's words, Petrie breathed a sigh of relief. Petri laughed: "Old friend, who are you angry with, I'm Petrie from King Sacramento." ”

"Petrie?" Otis. Smith covered the phone, "It's not Thomas who is the King's Petri, why is he calling me?" I have a gut feeling that we might have a deal to come out of. ”

Otis. When Smith heard that it was Petri, the first person that popped into his mind was Ron. Artest.

He knows that Artest has been in trade rumors, and that the Miami Heat and Houston Rockets are both interested in Artest, and he hasn't thought about Artest before, and now Petrie has reached out to him. Otis. Smith thought about it at once.

"My old friend, how come you have time to call me?" Otis. Smith said with a smile.

"Otis, of course as a friend thinks about what you think, I heard that you are very interested in Vince. Carter is also interested in Gerald. Wallace is interested, it seems that you want to strengthen the front guard. ”

"Yes, there's no way I'm short of people, are you here to take care of me, old friend?" Otis. Smith had a smile on his face.

"How do you feel about Ron?"

Petri's voice made Otis. Smith couldn't help but want to swallow if he said Vince. Carter and Gerald. Wallace is what he wants, then Artest is undoubtedly more ideal.

Despite the terrible look off the pitch, Artest's professionalism on the pitch is absolutely unquestionable, and Artest, although not as physical, is not as good as Gerrard. Wallace and Carter are good. But defensively he is definitely two notches above the two, and Artest is not lacking in offensive ability, although not as good as Carter, but undoubtedly much better than Wallace.

What's more critical is that even if Artest comes to the Magic, it will not affect Lin Sen's status. And Carter's arrival is likely to be different, another advantage is that Artest's contract is not large, only about 8 million, which is much lower than the 15 million annual salary of Kirilenko, another master of the same level who is in trade rumors.

"Ron is very good, why do you fancy which of us?" Otis. Smith tried to carve out his tone, he didn't want to be passive.

Stan. Van Gundy also heard it, a player like Artest is difficult to control, but he is definitely a good player, with Artest, it will definitely be of great use in the face of a team like the Lakers and Cavaliers, Van Gundy leaned his ears over, and Linsen's curiosity was also hooked by the two of them.

"I want to take back Sido!"

"No, no, it's not going to work, Sido is our core player." Otis. Smith immediately rejected Petri's request.

"We took out the No. 10 pick and Koron for Hildo and Kellana. Azubuc, Carlos. Arroyo and your two second-round picks this year, next year's second-round pick, and the year after, or Carlos for Devin. Brown. Petri's words made Otis. Smith froze.

Otis. Smith also estimated the price in his heart: "Petri, I think I need to think about it, and I will get back to you as soon as possible." "Otis. Smith looked up at the big screen, and at this time, David. Stern won and announced that Charlotte, who had the eighth pick, had chosen B. Wright.

"Okay, you as soon as possible, you know that it's coming to us soon." Petrie hung up after saying that if Chicago didn't choose Joaquin. Noah's case he would change the deal without adding the No. 10 pick, and if Chicago chooses, then he would be willing to send the No. 10 pick.

"He's offering No. 10 to Garohn for Sidhu and Chelana and Carlos, our two this year, as well as next year's second round and the first round the year after." Otis. Smith said in a deep voice.

"Tenth? Until now, last year's No. 1 pick favorite Joaquin. Noah hasn't been drafted yet, he's a nice big guy. "Stan. Van Gundy said immediately.

Although he was reluctant to Tekoglu, that Joaquin. Noah will undoubtedly be a good addition to the team and can prevent Milicic from being poached by other teams.

And Otis. That's exactly what Smith thought, but that's when David. Stern announced Chicago Bulls Jorkin. Noah.

"Forget it, let's change the plan! Since they want to trade Ron. I think we can give it a try. That's not a lot of opportunity. "Otis. Smith dialed Petri's phone.

"What is Otis thinking about?" At this moment, the No. 10 lottery means little to him.

"We don't want the number 10 lot." Otis. Smith replied.

Petrie had some regrets. Then he motioned for his assistant to write the name of the big man Hawes, who was quite satisfactory to him and Adelman.

"Old friend, don't you hang up in a hurry, don't pick 10, but we want Ron, Kellana, Devon, Carlos plus next year's second round and the first round and the second round the year after? Although Kailana is a rookie, he has already shown his strength, and I think since you mentioned him, then you also know his ability, and Devin and Carlos can also make up for Mike. The loss of Bibi in case of departure. ”

Didn't wait for Petri to speak, Otis. Smith continued, "I know you guys want to send Ron away. And he's got a player option next season, are you sure he doesn't jump out of his contract? In case you get out of the contract there's nothing and you need to rebuild, and Kelana is undoubtedly a very good object. Martin would be a good partner, and we could sign a Matt in free agency first. How about Barnes joining in? ”

Otis. Smith's words made Petrie think that he wanted to trade Artest in addition to being like Smith said, but he still wanted Tekoglou.

"Give me Sidor and Azubuuk, and I'll give you Ron and the first seven protected first-rounders of next year." Petri insisted, and the Kings are currently rebuilding, and if nothing surprises will be the last next season, the draft pick will definitely be protected. It's equivalent to Artest for two.

Although Otis. Smith was reluctant to have Tekoglou as the second core, but as the team grows in the future. Howard will slowly become another core in addition to Linson, and Milicic is the center, so the poor defense of Tekoglou is destined to slowly lose his original position.

"I'll think about it again and get back to you as soon as possible." Otis. Smith said in a deep voice.

"How?" Stan. Van Gundy immediately asked.

"He's still insisting on Sido, actually, I want to agree, what do you think, Stan, Wood? He wants Hidoga Kellana for Roenga, who is protected in the first round of the first seven years of next year. "Otis. Smith said as he looked at Linson and Van Gundy.

Tekoglou is still recovering from an injury, and the trade will undoubtedly make a lot of people criticize him, and Azubuke is Linson's younger brother, so Otis. Smith wanted to agree and ask for advice, but if he really didn't agree, he could only refuse.

Otis. Smith thought about himself for a moment, and then said again: "If we trade Sydo and Chelana, then we have only to keep Grant and Darko, and it is feasible to compete for Gerrard to form a super defensive lineup, or chase Vince to form a luxury lineup, even if it doesn't work, there are utility players like Nochioni and Peterson, I think we can agree." ”

Stan. Van Gundy was silent, Otis. Smith wasn't bad at all.

And Lin Sen also knew Otis in his heart. Smith was right, but emotionally he was a little hard to accept.

"Wood, the NBA is business but it's still emotional at heart, and we can't stand Hilda and Kleanna, but we need the O'Brien Cup, and even though we've played seven games with the Spurs, there's a big gap in real quality." Otis. Smith looked at Lin Sen and said.

Just then there was another commotion on the TV, as there was another big deal on the scene.

"Oh, is Michael ready to make the playoffs this time? He actually traded Jason, but does this mean that the Golden State Gang is about to end and rebuild? "Bill. Wharton said, looking at the big screen.

The Charlotte Bobcats picked up power forward Brandon Brownon with the No. 8 pick. Wright was sent to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Jason, a dunk king who averaged 20 points per game. Richardson and the Warriors' No. 36 pick, and the Bobcats sent their $10 million trade exception to the Warriors in order to reach the trade.

Bill. Shortly after Wharton's words fell, the Portland Trail Blazers, who selected Oden, made another big trade, and the New York Knicks got Zach from the Portland Trail Blazers who averaged 20+10 clubs per game. Randolph, for which the Knicks will be Steve. Francis and Channing. Frye was sent to Portland.

The occurrence of successive large large trades made Otis. Smith and Stan. Van Gundy Linson paused for a moment, while Linson realized once again that the NBA was all about "businessisbusiness!" ”

"I think we should have informed Sidor and Kailana beforehand." Lin Sen said.

Hearing Linson's words, Otis. Smith breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he could make a mandatory decision, but this would undoubtedly cause a conflict between him and Lin Sen, you must know that now the magic has benefited a lot because of Lin Sen, and the two have a conflict, maybe Zuihou is the one who leaves.

Another trade broke out on the spot, and the Miami Heat selected the No. 20 rookie center, Jason. Smith sent Philadelphia while the 76ers sent the No. 21 rookie to Ohio University guard Daquin Brown. Cook sent it to Miami, while the Philadelphia 76ers sent another portion of cash.

This is undoubtedly a small deal compared to the previous three trades, just in Otis. Smith was about to pick up the phone to reply to Petrie when Henin came in.

"Otis, now that he has been selected in New York, and the Spanish guard Fernandez has not been selected yet, we may be able to consider buying the following draft picks in Phoenix's hands, I heard that Houston and Utah are interested in him, and Phoenix has plans to sell it."

"Really? He hasn't even been chosen. "Otis. Smith has also seen Fernandes' scouting reports and highlights, has the physical fitness, scoring ability, is always passionate in key games from three-point to breakout, basketball IQ is high, the only downside is that the body is thin and the defense may be problematic, but once trading Azubuuk, then Fernandez is undoubtedly a very good addition.

"I'll contact Phoenix right away." Otis. Smith picked up the phone and dialed the Suns, and the Trail Blazers also took a fancy to Fernandez and wanted it.

However, in the end, the new Suns general manager Steve Brown, who was appointed for less than a month. Cole promised Otis. Smith because of Otis. Smith not only paid the price of 2.5 million in cash, but also paid the No. 56 pick this year, while the Trail Blazers were only willing to spend 2.5 million, although a No. 56 pick is not nothing, but something is better than nothing, and in the end Kerr agreed to Otis. Smith.

"Orlando actually bought the Spaniard Rudy. Fernandez, there are a lot of people in the Orlando back line now, what are they going to do? "Bill. Wharton said as he looked at the big screen, and Fernandez didn't expect to be sent to the Orlando Magic just after putting on the Sun's hat.

After the selection of Fernandez, Otis. Smith dialed Petri.

"Hidoga Kelana for Roenga's top three protected draft picks and next year's second round is about the same salary."

Petri hears Otis. Smith's words were thought about next year, so the top five should be fine: "You give me the first round in '09 and the second round 46 this year, then I'll agree that Ronga's top five is protected." ”

"If it is the second round next year, I will agree." Otis. Smith bargained.

Petri on the other end of the phone muttered, "Okay! When Xidu is healed and passes the medical examination, then the transaction takes effect. (To be continued......)
