After the Finals, the Lakers marched to win the championship in Los Angeles.

Thousands of people were empty all over Los Angeles, and countless fans took to the streets to celebrate the championship trophy for the first time in nine years.

At the same time, the management of the league's teams has begun to prepare intensively for the opening of free agency.

A week after the finals, the NBA2019 draft was officially held.

Luckily, the New Orleans Pelicans, who received the No. 1 pick with an ultra-low probability, chose forward Zion. Williamson.

But unlike another time and space, the Lakers entered the playoffs with the first record in the league, so even Aunt Jenny's favorite Kuzma was possessed by the emperor, but it didn't allow the Lakers to draw the No. 4 pick in the first round.

The Lakers, who held the No. 28 pick in the first round, chose the 1.93-meter-tall scoring guard Jordan. Poole.

This choice, of course, came from Wang Feng's suggestion.

General manager Magic Johnson himself wants to choose a center or point guard, after all, the current Lakers, there is no shortage of people at the point guard position, there are Butler, Jordan. Clarkson, Seth. Curry and others, there is no need to choose another shooting guard.

But at Wang Feng's strong request, he still chose Jordan. Poole.

The Lakers have just won the championship under Wang Feng's leadership, and the two sides are in the honeymoon period, and several players suggested by Wang Feng last season also played well during the regular season playoffs, including the Lakers trading for Jimmy. Butler was also achieved by Wang Feng under the vigorous promotion of Wang Feng.

Sometimes after carefully reviewing Wang Feng's operation, Johnson has a feeling that Wang Feng should be the general manager.

Brooke. After Lopez's big contract with the Lakers expired, the team was not ready to keep him, but under Wang Feng's protection, he gave Lopez a 4-year 2400 contract.

This contract extension was not less sprayed at the time, with Lopez's performance in previous seasons, it was completely a low-paid player level, although the average contract of 24 million was only 4 million a year, which was not too high, but it was not worth giving a long-term contract to a veteran like Lopez.

However, this season, Lopez, who changed his tactical positioning and appeared on the court as a spatial interior lineman, regained the second spring of his career, although he only averaged about 12 points and 5 rebounds per game, but he could provide a stable scoring output in limited playing time.

In the regular season, Lopez can hit an average of 2.3 three-pointers per game, as long as he is on the court, the opponent's center has to follow the defense, Wang Feng's efficiency value to break through the offensive frame this season is so high, Lopez has contributed a lot.

Not only Lopez, but also several others, including Rondo, Rose, McGee and others, are also important rotation role players for the Lakers this season.

Now Johnson regrets that they were given 1-year short-term contracts, and with the Lakers winning the championship, the value of these players must rise, and it is obvious that there will be a price to pay if you want to keep them.

Therefore, since Wang Feng attaches great importance to this Jordan, who does not seem to have any outstanding characteristics. Poole, Johnson simply fulfilled Wang Feng's wish and selected Poole with the No. 28 pick.

Wang Feng, who has crossed over from 22 years, of course knows Jordan. Poole's level, he can be regarded as the player with the strongest potential and strength at the end of the first round.

In his first year after being drafted, Poole's performance was mediocre, and he was nicknamed the Wolong Phoenix Chick of the 19th Rookie.

Who would have thought that two seasons later, Poole would become one of the Warriors' main scoring points, averaging 18.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4 assists in the regular season in the 21-22 regular season.

In fact, the Lakers' current lineup doesn't particularly need Jordan. Poole, but it just so happened that the Warriors' draft pick was behind the Lakers with the 29th pick.

In line with the idea of being cheap and not taking advantage of the bastard, Wang Feng decisively let the Lakers intercept the draw.

If you don't choose players with potential, and choose some crooked melons and cracked dates that can't even play as substitutes, then there is a problem with your brain.

As for whether Poole can play at a future level without the ball distribution of the Lakers without the Warriors, it is not within the scope of Wang Feng's consideration.

To put it mildly, even if Poole sits on the Lakers bench, it is more cost-effective than being selected by other teams to be an effective fighter.

When my opponent becomes weaker, don't I become stronger in comparison?

This is a very simple truth.

Johnson chose Jordan on the front foot. Poole, within minutes, received a call from the general manager of the Warriors.

To his astonishment, the Warriors actually wanted to trade Poole from him, and were willing to pay a future first-round pick plus two second-round picks.

"Is there really something about this rookie who almost fell to the second round?"

Confused, Johnson politely declined on the phone.

……

The Lakers also had a draft pick in the second round, and they would have used that pick to pick Horton. Tuck.

As a second-round pick, Tucker's strength is actually quite good, but in the 21-22 season, the Lakers were forced to use it as an important rotation role player when no one was available, and then as a shooting guard, Tucker almost made Lakers fans angry with a 26.9% three-point shooting rate.

And now, thanks to the first-round pick, Jordan. Poole, so Johnson didn't pick Horton, who was in the same position as Poole. Tucker, instead opted for the big man who is 2.18 meters tall inside player Bol. Bohr.

Wang Feng didn't even know what this guy was doing, so it can be seen that this is a guy who is far inferior to Horton. Tucker's players, after all, can also play in a rotation role in the NBA.

But he didn't continue to point fingers at this draft.

After all, it doesn't make much difference whether to choose Tucker or Bol, he can't play anyway, and there is no need for him to continue to point fingers at Lakers management because of such a trivial matter.

Even though the two sides are in the honeymoon period now, the job of bringing in and signing players is the job of the general manager after all, and he has not yet reached the level of LeBron. James's kind of coffee position is so big that even the team owner has to obey his words, and it is good to explain and insist on his own views when necessary, otherwise too much management is likely to cause some unnecessary contradictions, thus causing estrangement between the two sides.

Right now, the Lakers are strong, and Wang Feng still wants to count on winning a few more championships in the Lakers.

……

Two days after the draft, the NBA Awards Ceremony was held in Los Angeles.

Wang Feng dressed up to welcome the second regular season MVP trophy of his career, although the award has not yet been announced, but there is no suspense.
