283 The Difference Between Tang Tian And James (3/5)

Chapter 283 The Difference Between Tang Tian and James (35)

"Don, Harrison will challenge you."

Walker noticed Barnes' gaze and spoke.

Tang Tian nodded.

Walker's words reminded him of something.

If history does not change, the Warriors who have already acquired Curry and Thompson will rise.

Even with Thompson working out with him now, the Warriors might rise a little faster.

Barnes joined the Warriors, but he really has some grievances with him that have continued from college to the NBA.

Moreover, when the Warriors rose, the Spurs were just weakening, and the challenges would be very great.

But thinking about it made him even more excited.

The experience of the past two years has made him realize the benefits of a young mind.

The more challenging the more exciting, the more exciting the more interesting!

"This guy is really good!" Walker couldn't help but said at this time.

At this time, the Pistons selected UConn's freshman Drummond with the ninth overall pick in their hands.

"He can."

Tang Tian said.

Drummond's physical talent is considered very good among centers.

If he had joined UConn a year earlier, plus their original trio, UConn would have been able to win the championship all the way.

The 10th pick still belongs to the Hornets, which is the draft they got from trading Paul last year.

They chose freshman Austin Rivers, the son of Celtics head coach Doc Rivers.

He averaged 15.5 points per game, making him the third freshman scoring leader in Duke history.

The only regret is that Duke was upset in the first round this year, which made his draft market much worse than expected.

The Trail Blazers selected Meyers Leonard with the 11th pick.

Immediately following the 12th pick, the Rockets selected Jeremy Lamb.

"Oh! No. 12! He went to Houston!"

At this moment, Walker reached out and patted Tang Tian.

The 12th pick is a lottery pick, and the Rockets are the team where Yao Ming stayed.

Tang Tian smiled and nodded.

He doesn't know if history will change. If it doesn't happen, Harden will be traded to the Rockets, and Lamb is one of the bargaining chips in that deal.

Of course he couldn't say such a thing.

"Yes, that's a good place. There are no newcomers at the shooting guard position." Tang Tian said.

"Let's go down and say hello to him!"

Walker said standing up.

Tang Tian nodded and stood up.

Drummond was with Lamb as they went down.

"Jeremy, we will be rivals next season!"

Walker went up and gave Lamb a small punch in the chest.

"You will fight Andre more." Lamb turned to look at Drummond at this time.

It can be seen that the relationship between the two is not bad.

Drummond greeted Tang Tian and Walker with a smile.

Most of the players in the NBA come from the NCAA, so alumni friendship is really an important bond in this league.

"Congratulations, Jeremy." Tang Tian also congratulated Lamb at this time.

"Thank you, Tang." When Lamb saw Tang Tian, ​​his eyes suddenly became respectful.

If it weren't for Tang Tian, ​​he wouldn't be able to break through himself, and he wouldn't even be able to make progress this season.

"You guys, join our training." Tang Tian said suddenly.

"Yes, why didn't I think of it! I'll find a few more people, and we can play the whole game!" Walker also slapped his thigh and said.

"We still have the summer league, maybe we have to wait until August." Lamb said at this time.

This actually reminded Tang Tian and Walker that this year is no longer a lockout season. For rookies, the initial period will be relatively busy.

While they were chatting, the first round of the draft was almost done.

Marshall was selected 13th by the Suns, John Henson was selected 14th by the Bucks, Tyler Zeller was selected 17th by the Mavericks, Miles Plumlee was selected 26th by the Pacers selected.

These North Carolina players all made it to the first round.

The Spurs did not have a draft pick this year because they traded in the first round last year.

The first round is over, and the second round will start soon.

Tang Tian noticed several key choices.

The Mavericks selected Jae Crowder with the 34th overall pick.

The Warriors selected Draymond Green with the 35th overall pick.

The Pistons selected Khris Middleton with the 39th pick and then sent him to the Bucks.

These are several choices that can change the league structure in the future.

To be honest, the first round picks this year were not very good, but the second rounds are really better than the other.

Because of his professional habits, Tang Tian had been the general manager of the team in his previous life, and at this time he felt an indescribable itch in his heart.

At this time, the Spurs just randomly get a draft pick in the last round of the first round, and he can make it one of the best operations in team history.

It seems that he will have to find a way to gain the right to speak in the team management in the future.

Players are commodities in the league management, which is why James will try to intervene in management decisions.

Who would be willing to be traded and traded as a commodity, and then be at the mercy of others?

What James does most of the time is to break through the boundaries of the players.

This approach, called from the player's point of view, is correct.

But the problem with James is that he doesn't have that vision. In many cases, the so-called choice is actually a bit cheating.

But Tang Tian was different. If he intervened, it would definitely be a huge profit in his time-traveling status.

The Spurs selected University of Missouri senior Marcus Danmon with their only pick at 60.

This kind of pick is actually a choice. Without Tang Tian's open eyes, the possibility of Isaiah Thomas' inspirational story happening a second time is too low.

After the Spurs selected, the 2012 NBA Draft officially came to an end.

The draft is over, followed by the free agent market in July.

Tang Tian and Walker continued to train together, but he also paid attention to the development of this area.

This year's free agent market should be the year with the fewest free agents, and the biggest player is veteran Tim Duncan.

Although after winning the championship and winning the FMVP, Duncan's probability of leaving the team is zero, but he was still the biggest card for a while.

Followed by fellow veterans Steve Nash and Ray Allen.

Of course, there are some restricted free agents, including Brook Lopez, JaVale McGee, Batum, Jeremy Lin and so on.

They all may receive big contract offers from other teams, the difference is that their home team has the right to match the contract.

Of course, compared to free agents, the biggest movement this year is "Warcraft" Howard.

The league's No. 1 center has already admitted that he will not stay in the Magic. If the Magic is forced to stay, he will implement the player option for the final year.

In this way, he will become a completely free agent next summer and leave the Magic naked, and the Magic will get nothing and lose money.

So the Magic trade Howard is inevitable.

Who will win "Warcraft" in the end is also the focus of attention of all fans.

Merry Christmas everyone!
