After the Cavaliers signed Embiid with the No. 1 pick, the Milwaukee Bucks, who had the No. 1 pick, signed Andrew who was supposed to be the No. 1 pick. Wiggins.

This is another chain reaction caused by the butterfly effect.

Power forward Jabari should have been drafted. Parker's Bucks decisively gave up Parker because of the Wiggins option.

Although the two have a big forward and a small forward position slightly different, Jabari. Parker is only 2.03 meters tall as a power forward, which is a bit nondescript to play power forward. Bennett is already a stark example.

Players with outside height but mainly on the inside may be like gods in the NCAA because of the gap between physical fitness and ability and others, but entering the NBA, which is all supermen, this four-like style of play is not very suitable.

Andrew. Wiggins is different, Wiggins, who is 2.01 meters tall and serves as a small forward, is all visible talent, in terms of static talent, 2.01 meters tall and 2.13 meters of arm span belongs to the top level of the league, and in terms of dynamic talent, Wiggins's talent is even more incisive, especially in terms of jumping, whether it is vertical bounce or running bounce, it is the top.

Wiggins' draft template is Vince. Carter, likewise a superstar with overflowing talent, and the future, Jimmy. Butler once uttered a classic when the Timberwolves were spraying people.

"The most talented player is Downs, the most favored by God is Wiggins, but the hardest working person is me!"

Of course, after blowing so much, it is still necessary to mention that Wiggins will be called the wolfberry brother in the future.

Wiggins, who has top talent, doesn't play hard enough, and has been playing healthily since his rookie season, and he is still soaking wolfberries in a thermos cup, so that he is nicknamed Goji Brother by fans in Huaguo.

Attitude dictates that although Wiggins has top talent, his future achievements are very limited, far less than Butler, whose talent was completely destroyed by him.

But no matter what, Wiggins' strength is still worthy of the 14-year champion who should have been elected, and in 2014, in addition to Jokic and Embiid, Wiggins was the best performer.

The Bucks can stagger Jabari. Parker selected Wiggins, and the team will have a partner combination of Brother Alphabet + Wiggins in the future, but it is a pity that Middleton, Brother Alphabet's most effective assistant, was intercepted by Wang Chao to the Rockets at this time.

……

The 2014 draft was different from the previous two years, and the Rockets had a sense of participation, and the sense of participation was more than a little bit more than a little bit of participation.

Because when Wang Chao joined the Rockets, he used the method of signing first and then exchanging, and the Rockets not only sent Sharad. Lewis and Kevin. Martin also sent two first-round picks from 2012 and 2014 as trade chips.

And what they got from the Rockets was Wang Chao and a first-round pick from the Magic team in 2014.

In fact, the Magic team didn't want to give this first round at all, after all, they sent a regular season MVP and a double winner of the finals FMVP, a real superstar.

But it's really not up to them to give this thing to whether they want to give it or not.

Wang Chao is a completely free agent, as long as he wants, he can sign directly with the Rockets as a free agent, although the Rockets at that time had a full salary space, but as long as he is willing to pay some price, it is not difficult to clean up Lewis and Martin.

Wang Chao's ability to bring two All-Star players and two first-round chips to the Magic team by signing first and then exchanging is already a lot of mercy, and it is nothing to take a first-round pick by the way.

And now, the 2014 first-round pick that originally belonged to the Magic team is in the hands of the Rockets and is the fourth pick in the first round.

In 2014, the year of the draft, a fourth-pick pick was worth a lot.

At least from the perspective of Wang Chao Traverser, the players available to him are such as the Green Army's defensive titan Marcus. Smart, All-Star caliber Julius. Randall, and Zach. Levine...... Well, it's not a good seedling to be cultivated.

In the second round, there was a two-time regular season MVP winner, Nikola. Jokic, but Jokic is still an unknown ordinary player at this time, and the draft pick will basically not enter the first round, and it is too wasteful to draft Jokic with the No. 4 pick.

So, when the Philadelphia 76ers, who held the third pick, tearfully missed Embiid, they could only choose Jabari. After Parker, a trade deal spread across the league in a short period of time.

The Rockets will be the fourth pick in the draft along with forward Kevin Brown. Garnett was sent to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a second-round pick this year and two first-round picks in 2015.

The deal was made in a short period of time, and many reporters didn't even hear anything about it before.

And the Rockets fans who learned the news were a little dumbfounded.

Just a few minutes ago, they were eagerly discussing who the Rockets should use the No. 4 pick to strengthen the team.

Many people speculate that the Rockets should choose a potential inside player, after all, Da Yao and Garnett's state is getting worse, although Wang Chao can serve as a center in the super five-forward lineup, but it is obviously better to have a center like Da Yao who can hold the ball and attack, at least in the playoffs, with Da Yao's return from injury, the Rockets can still see that although the super five-forward lineup is strong, Da Yao; The combination of one inside and one outside with Wang Chao is the strongest!

Unexpectedly, the Rockets actually chose to trade the No. 4 pick, and also took Garnett, only in exchange for a first-round pick for the Timberwolves next year plus a garbage second-rounder.

The deal didn't seem to most people to make money at all, or even for some reason.

But only Wang Chao knows that such a choice is already very good.

You know, the Timberwolves' 2015 first-round pick selected the top pick Towns.

Regardless of Downs' professional attitude, his talent is also the top of all centers in the future, and it is not inferior to Embiid, thick eyebrows and others.

At that time, if it can really be selected, even if it is given away as a trade chip, it is definitely much better than signing some ordinary players with little room for growth and potential with the No. 4 pick now.

Wang Chao also considered that the butterfly effect that has occurred now is likely to cause Love not to be traded away by the Timberwolves, no matter how much Lefu brushes the data, after all, he is also an All-Star level player, as long as he is in the team, the team will definitely win more games, and it will not be as miserable as the 14-15 season in the original history of the Timberwolves 16-66 loss and the league's bottom one.

In that case, the Timberwolves' draft pick is not necessarily the No. 1 pick, and there is a possibility that they will not get Towns.

But even then, the deal is not a loss, because Wang Chao can use the Timberwolves to choose Devin in the first round of the lottery next year, who is not the top pick next year. Booker.

German. Booker was the 13th overall pick in 2015, and with the Timberwolves' strength, the draft pick is definitely higher than that.

By next year, both Butler and Leonard's contracts will expire, and even Wang Chao's contract will expire.

Wang Chao originally signed a five-year, $102 million, last-year player option with the Rockets, and whether he chooses to jump out of the contract and re-sign a big contract, or choose to exercise the player option, and wait until the new TV contract takes effect in 2016 and the salary cap skyrockets before signing a contract, his salary is very high.

Even if Da Yao's average annual contract of 22.5 million ends at that time, it is still unrealistic for the Rockets, who have freed up salary space, to renew their contracts at the same time to keep Leonard and Butler, because both of them must be renewed with the highest salary, and the starting salary of the contract is 16 million, and the two of them are 32 million, plus Wang Chao's 25 million, the team's salary pressure is too great.

Not to mention them, even Middleton, who joined the league in the second round in 12 and whose contract expired in 2014 with the two, is still only a member of the team's bench rotation, and it is likely that he will be worth tens of millions, and the renewal of the contract is also a problem.

Even if the owner of the Rockets is willing to pay this money and is willing to pay some luxury tax to help the team continue to remain competitive, as the level and strength continue to grow, it is difficult to guarantee that Leonard and Butler will not have other ideas, after all, how many people in this world will willingly serve as green leaves for others?

Even if he is willing to act as a green leaf, Jordan has only one Pippen by his side, and Leonard and Butler are destined to have one of their statistical performances affected by Wang Chao and the other at the same time, and continuing to stay in the team will only cause team conflicts.

Wang Chao is also a simple person, this kind of top star, it is already good to have a rookie four-year experience card, anyway, Wang Chao, who has the ability to foresee the traverser, can then change a leek cut.

German in 2015. Booker is a crop of newly grown leeks.

German. Booker's draft template is Klay. Thompson, who is good at three-point and mid-range shooting, has only an average level of ball control, average explosiveness, and is not good at breaking through with the ball, which is the best tactical choice without the ball.

Although his defensive ability is not very good, he is more than capable of playing any of the vacant positions of Leonard or Butler on the offensive end.

All in all, this deal is definitely a sure win in Wang Chao's opinion.

And the trade was a big deal, including the only player involved in the trade, Kevin Brown. Garnett.

With two championships for the Rockets, Garnett is satisfied.

Although the second championship actually has nothing to do with him, he is just an insignificant member of the rotation lineup, averaging 6+5 per game in the regular season, and the playoff data has dropped to 5+4, which is completely a lying championship, but last year's championship, he is the undisputed core player in the team, one of the big three, the team's defensive core and interior gate, and has made great contributions to the establishment of the team's defensive system.

These two championships are enough to elevate his historical status to a good height, ranking around 15-20 in history.

The accolades are now there, and for Garnett, it doesn't make sense to continue to rely on the Rockets to win three consecutive championships, and the Rockets may not want to keep him as a "burden" with an annual salary of 8 million, and maybe they will find an excuse to trade him away from the team in the middle of the season.

Rather than that, it is better to leave with dignity, so that there is still some choice.

The Timberwolves are naturally Garnett's first choice, Garnett was drafted by the Timberwolves in 95 and played here for 12 seasons.

Garnett wants to return to the Timberwolves to finish the last days of his career, and the Timberwolves do not reject this, and even hope that Garnett can return to the team, on the one hand, it can drive the team's popularity and let more fans return to the stadium to watch the game, on the other hand, the old wolf's rich game experience can also be a good way to drive the young players in the team.

Moreover, the chips given by the Rockets are also worth a lot of money, and the No. 4 pick in the draft year has every chance of picking a future superstar.

So the deal was so easy to conclude.

The Timberwolves, who received the No. 4 pick, still hold the No. 13 pick in the first round they originally had.

The Timberwolves plan to use the No. 13 pick to select the physical shooting guard Zach . LaVine, and their choice for this No. 4 pick is power forward Aaron. Gordon.

When he saw the choice of the Timberwolves, Wang Chao was a little speechless.

is worthy of being a wise timberwolves, and the strange operations in the draft are really one after another.

Aron. Is Gordon strong? In fact, he is not bad among the rookies in 2014, even if the media rearranges the draft in the future, he can be ranked in the top ten.

But the question is, what do the Timberwolves want Gordon to do?

Gordon's draft template for power forward is the brutalist power forward representative Griffin, and he is indeed a spring man who can run and jump.

But the problem is that the Timberwolves now have an All-Star power forward Kevin. Lefou, choose Gordon to play as a substitute for Lefou?

Of course, it is not ruled out that the Timberwolves already have the idea of trading Lefu away from the team at this time.

But with the 2015 first-round pick already being traded to the Rockets, it doesn't make sense for them to trade Love?

Forget it, no matter.

The Timberwolves' management has always had a strange brain circuit, just like when they drafted Brandon with the No. 6 pick in the first round. Roy then teamed him up with Randy, the seventh pick in the first round. Foye swapped, adding only a small amount of cash.

Obviously, the purpose of the Timberwolves at that time was to prostitute the Trail Blazers for a little money, and deliberately cut off Roy, whom the Trail Blazers liked. Roy later became an All-Star, and even if his career was a little short, he was a star who had a glory days. What about Foye?

The same thing happened in 2009.

At that time, the Timberwolves drafted two point guards in a row with the fifth and sixth picks in the first round, Rubio and Jonny. Flynn, the Timberwolves management thought that Rubio would not be able to land in the NBA immediately, and the team needed a point guard during this period, so Flynn was selected.

But look at the players who were the seventh and ninth picks at the time.

Stephen. Curry, Jamal. DeRozan.

Even along with Brandon who was drafted with the 10th pick as a point guard. Jennings, 17th in line with Zhu. Holiday was the eighteenth overall pick in Ty. Lawson, Jeff with the nineteenth pick. Teague, which one as a point guard is no better than Jonny. How good is Flynn?

This is all what the Timberwolves have done in the draft, and if you go back in time, there are more sassy operations, and it's no wonder that Garnett couldn't stand running away with a bucket later.

To sum up, the Timberwolves chose Aaron. Gordon's behavior is less strange.
