"2003 Draft, First Round Pick, Cleveland Cavaliers Pick, St. Vincent's Santa Mary High School, LeBron James."

Not surprisingly, James is still the top pick.

Everyone's eyes are focused on the Pistons, and Bai Fan is also paying attention to the selection of the Pistons.

In the small room of the Nuggets, a group of people seem to be extremely relaxed, the two top favorites, James has been drafted, Anthony can fall the best, can't fall, they can also trade to Marion, no matter how you think about it, it is the result of completing the task.

"The second pick in the first round, the Detroit Pistons picked, from Serbia, Dakomilisic."

Nothing has changed at the moment, and Randy Fender was notified by the Nuggets of declining a trade after Milicic was drafted.

Obviously, among the options for the present and the future, the Nuggets chose the future.

"Re-quote with the Raptors and trade Amaré for the No. 4 pick."

The two top picks were selected, and the current No. 4 pick is not as valuable as before.

It's like gambling on the stone, before everything is revealed, it's a seller's market because the ceiling is high.

Wait for a one-size-fits-all edge to be green, and then want to shoot this stone, that is, the buyer's market, give a little Si who is almost enough, whether the Raptors want it, don't just continue to bet, bet that the selected player is stronger than Xiao Si and has greater potential.

After Anthony was taken away by the Nuggets, the Raptors did not reply, but the Heat took the lead in reaching out to Randy Fender.

"The Heat lowered their offer and traded our Stephen and Anfernee picks at No. 5 and No. 33."

"Wait."

Bai Fan calmly gave a word, now it depends on whether the Raptors are interested and obediently bites the bait that was sown.

……

"The fourth pick in the first round, the Toronto Raptors picked, Dwyane Wade from Marquette University."

While Wade was puzzled and delighted, Wade's agent informed him that he had been traded by the Raptors.

Wade wasn't surprised, and was a little lucky not to have to go to the farther and folder north.

In the small room of the Suns, Bai Fan's heart was completely relaxed, the biggest and most difficult goal of this draft has been completed, and the next operation is much easier.

In the end, the Raptors did not choose Xiao Si, but chose Marbury, who has become famous, since they want to bet on the present with the future, Xiao Si's instant combat power is far inferior to Marbury.

Bai Fan happily accepted the offer while rejecting the Heat trade.

After missing out on Wade and Marbury, the Heat opted to bring Bosh to Miami early.

After that, the order was like history, Bai Fan never made another move, just watched Kaman, Hinrich and other players being selected one by one.

It's not that Bai Fan doesn't want it, Bai Fan's goal has always been not the draft, but those superstars who have become famous.

In order to have enough chips to trade the top interior lineman, Bai Fan only used Marbury in the draft.

The lottery pick gradually ended, and the Suns' own No. 17 pick arrived, and Randy Fender wrote directly on the envelope that had been determined for a long time.

Born in '80, West was a standard older rookie and was the absolute core of the Musketeers in college, averaging 20.1 points and 11.8 rebounds per game in his senior season and owning decent blocks.

West, who is both offensive and defensive, is a very good instant force, if it weren't for injuries, his draft pick would not fall out of the lotto zone, and even in a draft year like '03, his overall ability is in the top ten.

The most important thing for the Suns is the level of medical care, and after selecting West, Bai Fan believes that under the care of the Sun Doctor, he can play a performance that meets the starting requirements in advance.

After picking off Wade and West successively, it was time for Bai Fan's favorite traverser, Goldfinger.

"Go buy a few picks in your forties and let's try our luck."

When Randy Fender bought back two second-round picks, Bai Fan had to sigh that the second-round picks at this time were really cheap, 43 and 47 only cost 350,000, which would cost millions more than ten years later.

By the end of the draft, Bai Fan successfully brought back Red Mamba, Matt Bonner and Kyle Korver for the team.

On July 1st, the trading period opened.

After a quarter of an hour's walk, Bai Fan came to a Chinese restaurant, where he specially chose to meet Marion, a hacker who was one of the team's leading stars.

Among the many players on the Suns, the only one Bai Fan wants to stay is Marion.

In the season just ended, not only did he average 21.2 points per game, but his defense was still the best in the Suns.

The most important thing is that as a small forward, he also has a good three-point shot, and his stability is almost enough to help the team open up space, and he is a top 3D player in the early century.

If it weren't for the lack of offensive ability, he would definitely become a top small forward who is not weaker than James and Anthony.

Bai Fan ordered a few famous dishes of Chinese food, and sat opposite Marion, seeing that the other party was still a little nervous or confused.

Since Bai Fan took over the team, except for a few public occasions, he has never had private contact with the players.

Especially at this time, the team has been on vacation, and Marion is disturbed from the vacation and is more curious about Bai Fan's purpose.

Marion didn't know the purpose of Baifan's trip, but he had heard some rumors in the team that the Suns had decided to put all the players on the shelf after the trade day opened.

"Sean, don't be nervous, I'm just calling you to talk to you about the future team's plans and see if you agree with me as the boss.

Like-minded people can go further, even if they have different aspirations, they can also get together and disperse. ”

Looking at Marion's face and smiling, Bai Fan couldn't help but sigh, it is really a big world, there are no wonders, how did such a face grow on people.

I remember when I saw Marion smiling for the first time when I was a child, I was really scared.

Put the concept of team building and Marion's positioning in the team in front of him one by one, and Bai Fan quietly waited for Marion's choice.

"Think slowly, don't worry, eat Chinese food while it's hot, and it's not too late to tell me your decision when you're done."

During this period, the two also talked about Marion's mother, and Bai Fan did not hesitate to praise this unfortunate and lucky woman, and the friendship between the two began to gradually build after a meal.

The two are of the same age, Bai Fan is younger than Marion, if it weren't for repeated confirmation, Marion couldn't believe that Bai Fan was really only twenty-three.

After the guests had their best, the two walked out of the Chinese restaurant.

"Boss, I agree with your idea, to be honest, in the past two years, I have been tired of fighting for the team boss, and I also have a championship heart, so I can not have the most balls and the best data."

"Thank you, time will tell."

After receiving Marion's answer, the Suns soon completed contract extension negotiations with Marion.

With the Suns clearing up a lot of salary space, give Marion full respect and achieve a win-win situation.

Now that the team has five big players such as Wade, Marion, Korver, West, and Red Mamba, it seems that after Bai Fan took over, the Suns' rebuilding work has been good.
