Chapter 364 Draft Lottery and Trading

On May 13, this day was the day of the NBA draft lottery. Several teams with low rankings all went to Madison Square Garden.

Overall, this year's draft is not as high as next year, let alone Li Lei, who is at the peak of his debut last year.

Therefore, the general managers present lacked interest in most rookies who want to increase exposure.

Yao Ming did not come to the scene like these popular rookies because he was going to participate in the Asian Games, which made Jay Williams very excited. Although Duke's performance this year was average, his performance was worthy of being the No. 1 guard of NCAA, and he averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists per game. He was praised as Kidd Jr.

Although in last year's NCAA final, the five-star Duke was crushed by UCL, the most common UCL in history, but when you look at Li Lei's performance in the NBA this season, many people will feel that Duke lost without any wrong. After all, they lost to the third person in NBA history, and the third person in NBA history to win the MVP in his rookie season. This feat is not even Larry Bird and Jordan.

"I have only one goal, that is the No. 1 pick, wait, and next season, we will prove who is the first point guard of the NBA." Jay Williams's energy is not as big as Bathir. If he had not lost to UCL last year, then the mop in the semifinals is likely to be himself. Although Bathir performed well last year, Jay Williams, a scumbag who can kill his career even by riding a motorcycle, how could he care about this detail? Compared to Paul Walker's surprise, Jay Williams is really trying to kill himself.

Faced with so many reporters, it is the usual style of these black players. Perhaps their ancestors have been oppressed for a long time and are used to shouting out loud everything. If Chinese and Asians were so high-profile with them in North America, then perhaps they would not have been so ignored in their social status.

The reporters didn't care about this. Anyway, when they came to their manuscript, everything was beyond recognition. They could write Jay Williams' words as if the other party disdained Li Lei, thinking that the latter was just a show and could beat the other one with one hand. Don't overestimate the integrity of these uncrowned kings. For their own jobs, they can give up.

The Cavaliers and Warriors all have a 22.5% chance to win the No. 1 pick, while the Knicks have an 11% chance to rank third, followed by the Clippers, Mosaics, Grizzlies, Nuggets, Heat Wizards. Mosaics, like their previous life, only has an 8.9% chance to win the No. 1 pick. If they get the No. 1 pick, they will definitely choose Yao Ming, because there is an All-Star like Francis on their back line. Although Jay Williams said it was a scattered, basketball was played, not blown out.

The general managers of each team sat together and had a good chat. Although there was a chance of drawing lots, as long as the league did not deliberately manipulate behind the scenes, these chances were basically the success rate of drawing lots.

Jerry Klaus naturally went to the scene, and he went for Richardson, because Richardson had already spoken that he didn't want to be with the Bulls, but wanted to go to other teams. The rookie guard who averaged 14 points per game was definitely more popular than the rookies who had not been baptized by the NBA on the scene, so Jerry Klaus was here to promote Richardson and get a draft pick by the way. Although this year is the New Year of the Draft, there are still many seedlings.

The result of the draft lottery was soon revealed. The Warriors won the No. 1 pick. The Cavaliers had the same probability as the Warriors, but they got the second pick. The Cavaliers general manager Jim Patterson collapsed at this moment. The Cavaliers were determined to win the No. 1 pick tonight, but the Warriors got the same probability as the Cavaliers. They had to choose that guy Jay Williams when they got the Cavaliers, but what should Andre Miller do? The Cavaliers already have a lot of point guards. If they got the No. 1 pick, it would be great. Even if they couldn't play next season, they would get a lotto. In 2003, it would be a big year. If they chose any individual, the Cavaliers could take off. Now they can only hope that the Warriors would choose Jay Williams or Dunleavy Jr., and not Yao Ming, so that the Cavaliers could get a bargain.

The Knicks were also a little disappointed. Scott Rayden wanted to get the No. 1 pick and choose Yao Ming. In Yao Ming, he seemed to see the shadow of a super center. Although the other party was Asian, so what? Look at how popular Li Lei was this season. How much money Reinsdorf made, he understood how much treasure the mysterious Oriental market contained. Compared to Europe's indifference to basketball and its fanaticism about football, the distant East is the real money-making machine of the NBA.

Scott Rayden's abacus is the same as Jim Patterson. As long as the Warriors don't choose Yao Ming, they will choose. Even if Yao Ming is a parallel product, he can sell a lot of money by selling tickets. This is something that Olavokandi and Swift do not have. The huge market behind Yao Ming makes these managers care the most, and this has even exceeded his understanding of his personal strength.

The Bulls won the draft pick with the 27th pick in the first round. Jerry Klaus felt that the temperature was almost the same. He came to Unseld and Choudumas, and the two people behind seemed to be talking.

"Wes, think about it, Michael and his junior brother partner, what a beautiful picture. We can send Brian and Ratke. Both of them are great guys. I believe that under Michael's leadership, they will surely shine their own light." Chaudhmas fooled Antheld. Before Li Lei, the other guy won the MVP in the NBA season and won the championship, but this does not mean that his IQ is very high.

After being scolded by his boss Bill Davidson, Chaudhmas also understood that Jerry Starkhouse, Jordan's junior brother, must get out. Moreover, because of the opponent's extremely low offensive efficiency, even if he crossed the Nets and faced the Celtics or the Bulls, the Pistons still couldn't rush out of the East.

So instead of doing this, it would be better to send Jerry Starkhouse away. Although his scoring this season is not as high as last season, it is still at least 20. Hamilton, whom he likes, has 20 points this season, but Jordan does not like this junior brother of Allen. So if he gets Hamilton himself, then the Pistons have good defensive strength in five positions, and he can definitely do a big game next season.

Unseld was fooled by Choudhumas and was completely dizzy. Jerry Klaus's fat face showed his signature smile. It was really better to come sooner than he did. "Wes, although Joe's chips are attractive enough, don't you listen to my chips? We are willing to give this first round of this year with Jason Richardson and Bagridge to exchange for Richard Hamilton and the No. 10 draw in your hands."

Unseld raised his head. Hamilton, a scoreback who was criticized by Jordan, has become a popular player. Moreover, the chips given by the Bulls are obviously much more sincere than the Pistons. Brian Cardinal and Ratke Walda are all water dispenser managers, and he doesn't think Jerry Starkhouse is better than Hamilton. Moreover, Choudhumas also wants to send Hubert Davis and Bobby Simmons himself. These two are the only two combat powers on the Wizards' bench. If you send them away, what will the Wizards play?

Chaudhumas played well, but Claus came out halfway, and Chaudhumas could only curse in his heart. After deciding to trade Starkshouse, he also communicated with Carlisle. The latter thought Hamilton was the most suitable defender for the Pistons because the opponent could defend and play without the ball. In addition, his shooting percentage was much higher than Starkshouse.

So Choudhumas went out, but he had to give up. "Wes, don't listen to Jerry's foolings. Jason Richard is just an ordinary rookie. How could he compete with Jerry Starkhouse? The latter is Jordan's successor, averaging 29 points last season. This is something that Richardson cannot compare with. I remember that Richardson's scoring just exceeded 14 points this season, not even half of Jerry's."

Unseld hesitated because what Choudhumas said made sense. Jerry Klaus was not anxious. He was still calm. "Wes, you are a professional player. You should understand that some things cannot be reflected in the data. Although Jason's data is not as eye-catching as Jerry, don't forget that this is only Jason's first season, and Jerry has been set. His average of 29 points last season was exchanged for 24 shots. So after the Pistons replaced the head coach this season, his shots were not that many, and his scores were reduced, and he did not even have a 40% shooting percentage. You should understand that a defender did not even have a 40% shooting percentage. What a terrible thing."

Mom sold the criticism. If Choudhumas had a gun in his hand, he would definitely collapse Jerry Klaus without hesitation. The latter's data theory was also learned from Li Lei. When Li Lei was training in the team, he would always keep all these data aside. Over time, Jerry Klaus became interested in this thing, and this thing is sometimes really useful. For example, this time, his own remarks made Antheld less interested in Jerry Klaus because what Jerry Klaus said was facts.

"Sorry, Joe, your chips won't impress me unless you add Chris Williams to it."
