15 June 2003. The Spurs defeated the Nets 88-77 to win the championship.

However, the news covering Spurs did not last two days before another piece of news began to flood the screen.

ESPN: All-Star point guard Marbury wants to leave Phoenix!

Sports Illustrated: Marbury has gone through his agent and said he wants the Suns to trade him!

T.N.T: Smiling Assassin: The Knicks need Marbury!

......

Chu Xuan looked at the news in the newspaper, and he knew that the smiling assassin was destined to miss Marbury.

Although in the locker room, there are Marbury and Rashid. Wallace has two players with the Thorn attribute in.

But at this time, Chu Xuan could only choose to believe Pierce!

On June 27, the draft was held as scheduled.

And before the draft began, Anji found Chu Xuan.

"Chu, the chips on the sun's side are almost talked, but I have one thing to remind you."

Looking at Anji's solemn face, Chu Xuan nodded and said, "Mr. Anji, you can say it." ”

"The Suns don't have a lot of chips, but hopefully we'll eat Hardaway's junk contract."

"Once Hardaway's contract is taken by us, then next season, how high the Celtics' salary is, I think you should understand, right?"

'Penny' Anferne. Hardaway, the former Jordan's successor.

In 1999, the Magic announced that they had signed Hardaway to a seven-year, 86.68 million contract, and then sent him to the Phoenix Suns.

But with Hardaway's ongoing injuries, the contract has become junk.

In the just-concluded 2002-03 season, Hardaway averaged 30.6 minutes per game, 10.6 points, 4.1 assists and 4.4 rebounds.

Hardaway's contract for the new season will be $13.5 million.

Plus Marbury, Pierce, and Rashid. Wallace's contract.

Even if you don't count the contracts of other players, the salary scale will reach 55.02 million US dollars!

"I understand what Mr. Angie means, if you can't win the championship, Celtic will pay such a high price, and someone will naturally take the blame."

"I'll just step down as head coach when the time comes!"

Chu Xuan naturally understood what Anji meant, and Anji had become gamblers with him at this time.

Once they can't win the championship, the Celtics will be locked in salary.

In the summer of next year, both the recruitment and the retention of personnel will be affected.

After all, Rashid. Wallace has only one year left on his contract!

But overall, the Celtics are definitely not at a loss.

After all, even Rashid . Wallace and Oku are gone.

Pierce, Marbury, Raja. Bale, Wusheng, Dior and others are also enough to make the Celtics the playoffs.

But this pot needs someone to carry it, and Chu Xuan is the most suitable person!

But this is exactly what Chu Xuan meant, after all, he and Anji were just using each other!

Seeing Chu Xuan like this, Anji also nodded.

Then Anji and Chu Xuan went to Madison Square Garden together to participate in the draft.

Looking at my emperor, social melon, Bosh, Wade and others.

"In the past, everyone said that 03 was the golden generation, in fact, there are reasons why the times create heroes, the NBA has not had a draft year for several years, many bad teams don't even have a façade star, and the selected rookies are easy to provoke in the team."

Chu Xuan sighed in his heart, and at the same time began to look forward to the next transaction.

The draft began, and David Stern, who was full of gray hair and a smile on his face, took the stage to speak.

Chu Xuan saw David Stern standing there, and couldn't help but sigh: "If this old man hadn't retired, maybe there wouldn't have been anything wrong with that sharp-beaked monkey gills." ”

David Stern wore glasses and looked down at the letter in his hand, "The Cleveland Cavaliers have chosen Lebrang. James! ”

At this time, the camera focused on Lebront James, who was sitting on the court in a white suit, and he stood up and hugged his agent Goodwin next to him.

His face was calm, without the slightest wave.

The Emperor walked up to the stage, took the red hat with the Cavaliers logo prepared by the staff, and shook hands with David Stern.

Cavaliers general manager Jimmy Paxson stepped forward and said, "Congratulations on joining Cleveland. ”

"Thanks, I'll try." Lebron James replied calmly.

Next came his speech, thanking him from his old mother to the varsity coach and then to the Cavaliers and the NBA.

Anyway, in Chu Xuan's opinion, there is no difference between an American's speech and a Chinese's acceptance speech.

The shot cuts to Darko. Milicic's face and then cut to Cameron. Anthony there.

Cameron. Anthony was wearing a navy blue suit, with dirty braids, his hands on his knees, and his expression was unusually serious.

The camera cuts back to the summit at the end.

Lebron James ended his speech.

At this time, everyone is talking about how Celtics' general manager Anji will use the No. 2 pick in his hand?

Detroit Pistons' general manager Joe. Dumas's face was unusually ugly, and he had been feeling congested since he learned that the Grizzlies had won the pick.

If it's the sixth pick, this draft pick is really worthless, but to his surprise, it's a list pick.

Even if you don't choose Cameron. Anthony, Selected Darko. Mirisic is not bad, either!

However, he has already reached an agreement with Anji, and it is too late for him to regret it now.

If the future is Daktronics. Milicic crossed over and would definitely be on Joe. Dumas said, "I beg you not to elect me, I don't want to be in Larry. Bulang's men play! ”
