Chapter 1,116 The Confident Popovich and the Deceived John Wall!

"It's great to be a San Antonio Spurs player. I've been a Tim Duncan fan since I was a kid. I love Duncan. I love the Spurs. It's a perfect night!"

Looking at the excited young black man on TV, Jerry West immediately thought of all the information about this young man.

Name: Derek Favors

Height: 2.08 meters (6 feet 10)

Weight: 112kg

Position: Power forward

Age: 19 years old

Template: Chris Bosh (best), Chris Wilcox (worst)

Draft prospects: Top five

This is one of the best insiders among this rookie class. In his junior year, he averaged 23.7 points, 17.1 rebounds and 9.1 blocks per game. In his senior year, he averaged 27.5 points, 13.3 rebounds, 5 blocks and 4 steals per game. It was terrifying, even better than Cousins ​​is more promising, and it is indeed a good choice to select him with this pick, but what about John Wall?

Although the Spurs are also short of power forwards, but they replaced Parker, don't they need a point guard more?

Jerry West really doesn’t understand now.

On the other side, the Spurs' general manager's office, Popovich, Buford, and Bowen all breathed a sigh of relief!

"It's too dangerous. The battle for Anthony just now was too dangerous!"

Bowen, Buford, Popovich, and Duncan all found it incredible.

"Anthony almost went to the SuperSonics!"

"I didn't expect the Cavaliers to be so decisive in the end. After selecting Bradley, they did not bargain with the Nuggets and directly sent Bradley and Richard Jefferson to the Denver Nuggets to complete the deal. If it had been slower, let Once the Clippers draft is completed, Anthony will definitely go to the SuperSonics!"

Bowen was excited, really excited.

The Cavaliers suddenly intervened in Anthony's trade and were willing to offer Bradley in exchange for Anthony.

Regarding Bradley's reputation in the current NBA, his best draft template is Yes, and his worst draft template is a combination of Rose and Curry.

The person who looks most like Yes, without a doubt, is a person who looks like he has a huge future.

There is nothing wrong with just replacing Anthony.

Even this offer is much higher than the bargaining chip that the Lakers and New York worked so hard to find, but compared with the SuperSonics' offer of Millsap + No. 4 pick + No. 30 pick + Gasol, it is evenly matched.

The Nuggets want to see what kind of player they can draft with the fourth pick before making a decision.

There is nothing wrong with this, but I didn’t expect the Cavaliers to be so decisive. Seeing the Nuggets’ hesitation, they directly added another chip and sent Richard Jefferson away. Although he is thirty years old, he can still average 20 per game. All-star level player!

And after sending away Anthony, the player the Nuggets need most is the small forward position.

The Cavaliers increased the price, but the SuperSonics had no way to increase the price because this was already the SuperSonics' highest offer. In the end, the Cavaliers and the Nuggets completed this super deal.

The Cavaliers sent No. 1 pick Avery Bradley and Richard Jefferson to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for Carmelo Anthony.

A little slower, allowing the Nuggets to see that the Sonics' fourth overall pick could land John Wall.

Then there is no doubt that the offer of Millsap + John Wall + Gasol + this year's No. 30 pick is more attractive.

Of course, the Cavaliers have so many chips, they can still continue to increase the price, but obviously, their speed and decisiveness make them seem to have obtained Anthony at a relatively small price.

Thinking of Anthony's trade war just now, Popovich kept shaking his head.

If Anthony really goes to the SuperSonics, it will really not be that easy. Even with the leadership of two MVP players, Rondo and Duncan, the Spurs will not be able to make any waves in the Western Conference.

Therefore, he is really still a little distant.

After regaining his composure a little, a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Trading the No. 4 draft pick in exchange for Rondo,

We traded the fifth pick for Favors, plus Tim, Stephen, Diaw, and Laga Bell. We have quickly completed the reconstruction, and the next step is to continue to add role players around Rondo. "

Although he also knows that if Rondo is not traded, he can choose Wall with the fourth pick and Favors with the fifth pick. If he was told last season that he had a chance to get Wall this season, he would definitely be Without hesitation.

But now, what he can get is Rondo!

If Wall and Rondo compete, is there still a choice?

Listening to those people on TV calling him Alzheimer's and stupid, Popovich smiled slightly. Next season, he will make all those who are currently calling him stupid admit that he is stupid!

Popovich doesn't care about the words scolding him on TV at this time, and Buford and Bowen are the same as Popovich.

Only Duncan frowned.

From an idealist perspective, Rondo should indeed be a strong man.

Bowen, Buford, Bobo, they are all smart people who seem to have the ability to see the truth from the fog.

They also think more and more profoundly than others.

But as a person who is relatively honest and doesn't think too much, Duncan doesn't like that kind of idealistic Lao Yin B-style thinking. He likes to feel it directly through his own eyes and games.

Rondo...is he really the person that Bobo, Bruce, Buford and the others say has the power to travel through the world?

Only Bobo and the others are smart people, and are all the fools in the world?

Are these people who scold Bobo and these celebrities all fools?

Why does Duncan always think this is something evil?

"Let's complete this deal now. Although I don't care about the scolding of these people, we will not bear the blame for Leonard. We have not inspected him. How could we select him with the fourth pick? This Let’s throw the blame to the SuperSonics.”

Popovich smiled and Buford nodded.

"What a lucky boy."

Although the Spurs selected Leonard, Popovich basically didn't have much impression of him in his mind.

All he knows is that this is what the Sonics asked him to choose, and this is what Yes means. This kid is Yes's apprentice, a poor boy, and Yes feels sorry for him.

Yes is really a very respectable person. Just because he feels sorry for his disciple, he signed him with this pick, as if he was afraid that someone would compete with him.

Leonard once reached the top 15 and entered the lottery after the NCAA finals, but now, after the halo of the NCAA finals has slowly faded, Leonard's current draft prospect is around 20.

A player ranked around 20 in the draft is selected with the No. 4 pick.

Tsk tsk.

The whole world says that Yes, like Jordan, is the loser of the NBA. It is not unreasonable to think the opposite.

Jordan fans are obsessed with Bird.

Yes fans are obsessed with Durant.

When the Spurs sent Parker to the Hornets, Jordan was still unwilling. Originally, Popovich thought Jordan wanted a big bird with the fourth pick. Unexpectedly, Joe's boss was interested in a "little uncle" in this class. De'Gordon Hayward, he was stunned.

He can't even figure out whether this Joe's leader is Bird Honey or Bird Black. The current NBA rookies don't dare to say that they are Bird Jr., for fear of being targeted by Jordan.

When Hayward was asked in an interview that Jordan thought he looked like Bird, Hayward was so frightened that he dropped the basketball in his hand.

"Don't hurt me, I'm not Birdie Jr., I'm Mike Dunleavy Jr!"

I'd rather be Dunleavy Jr. than Bird Jr.

There's a hundred thousand levels of difference between Dunleavy and Bird, right?

Bird Fengjing was killed like this!

Thinking back on the recent drafts and trades, Popovich wanted to laugh.

At this time, the Spurs and SuperSonics also appeared on TV.

The Spurs used Leonard as a bargaining chip to trade Rondo and $2 million in cash from the Seattle SuperSonics.

Rondo is strong, but his contract is low. Sign-and-trade The Spurs can't find anyone to replace him, so the Sonics can only use the annual cash transaction limit to balance it. This year, the available cash transaction limit for each team is 8 million US dollars.

For NBA teams, the amount of cash is basically negligible.

So this deal is a one-way exchange between Leonard and Rondo.

So after the transaction was completed and announced, the commentators on TV changed from calling him SB to calling him and Presti both SB.

"Popovich actually traded the team's No. 4 pick for Rondo?!"

"Wouldn't it be nice to select John Wall? If John Wall can't be selected, it's okay to select Rondo with the fourth pick. John Wall can be selected, but it's ridiculous to trade it for Rondo?!"

"Presti traded Rondo for the No. 4 pick. Why would he use the No. 4 pick to select Leonard, a player with the 20th overall pick? Can't John Wall?!"

"I agree that you say Presti is SB, but I think that choosing Leonard may not mean Presti's intention, but his intention."

After Kenny Smith finished speaking, all the snorts disappeared for a moment.

There is no problem in slandering him and Presti, but there is a price to pay for slandering Yes.

And Pippen, Barkley, these guys wouldn't dare, right?

So when he saw Pippen and Barkley suffocating on TV, Popovich burst out laughing.

It’s so damn fun!

Leonard actually got Rondo!

This is much more enjoyable than the Spurs trading the fourth pick for Rondo!

After all, if the SuperSonics select Wall with the fourth pick, it will be Wall for Rondo. If Wall becomes a super giant, the Spurs may be slapped in the face.

But Leonard replaced Rondo, and there was no pressure on him and the Spurs at all.

You won't get slapped in the face for sure, just smile wildly.

The person who wants to cry the most right now should be Presti, one of the current "NBA Double Idiots", right?

Anthony didn't win, and he still needs to listen to Yes and select Leonard with the fourth pick.

In fact, Presti is really uncomfortable right now.

This is Anthony's first time making a big deal of this level.

In the end, he was beaten by the Cavaliers general manager!

Whether it was timing or psychological reasoning, he lost miserably.

Obviously as long as he delays for a while, he will be the winner!

Even if Yes doesn't allow him to use Durant and James Harden, can't he temporarily put Durant and Harden on to buy time?

Once Wall is selected with the fourth pick, and then Harden is taken, the deal will be complete!

But his clumsy head actually panicked because he had no chips to keep up with!

SB!

In terms of trading, he is just a slow SB!

Especially this kind of one-hour or one-minute transaction, he really can't do it.

Finally, Presti sighed.

On TV, he and Popovich were scolded as NBA idiots. He admitted that the failure of this transaction was not to blame Yes for not allowing Durant and Harden to trade. It was all his fault and no one else.

Fortunately, the words scolding Presti and Popovich on TV didn't last long.

Soon, the news of the completion of the deal between the Cavaliers and the Nuggets was broadcast on the TV.

After the Cavaliers traded Bradley and Richard Jefferson to the Nuggets for Anthony, the entire studio, the entire network, and even the entire world exploded!

Even the scene of the draft directly exploded.

The Cavaliers traded Anthony from the Nuggets. This news is indeed an explosion.

Even the draft was put on hold for a bit as the news came through.

After hearing the news that the Spurs traded Leonard for Rondo, Wall looked incredulous and didn't understand why the Sonics wanted Leonard instead of him. Wall was shocked by this news.

Wall is just a neutral person watching the excitement. The expressions on the faces of those involved, such as Kobe and Anthony, are wonderful.

The whole world knows that Kobe likes Anthony. After Anthony was placed on the trade market, the Lakers directly gave up Chris Paul because of Kobe's instruction.

But in the end, Anthony Nima was intercepted by the knight!

"Bryant, it's not that we didn't give him enough, the Cavaliers gave him too much."

Bradley + Richard Jefferson…

Kobe looked at the messages on his phone and sighed.

There is really nothing that can be done about a super giant embryo and an All-Star player.

You know, Bradley's trade value can be exchanged for any player in the league except Yes.

And what about Anthony himself?

Ye Si looked over and saw that Anthony was completely stunned.

He didn't even know James was sitting next to him.

Anthony never expected the Cavaliers to suddenly intervene in his transaction.

"Yes, the Cavaliers suddenly joined the trade. This was the main reason for our failure. Another reason was that I had always focused on the Clippers, but the Clippers never thought about joining Anthony's trade. The Clippers There is no interest in Anthony, my trading rhythm and preparation are completely disrupted, I’m sorry, this is my fault!”

Looking at Presti's message, Yes finally shook his head.

Presti has always been evaluated by the league as a trading genius.

Every offseason trade is when Presti goes crazy.

Presti, the general manager, does have problems when it comes to transactions, and Ye Si also knows it.

But this time, when John Wall fell to such a level and Anthony was not successfully traded, Ye Si did not expect it.

He has never thought about being dissatisfied with Presti. His mood is very complicated, whether the transaction is successful or not. He is very complicated about whether the transaction is successful. Now the person who wants to scold Presti most is the Nuggets.

Damn trading genius!

The Nuggets can earn even more if they change to a slightly higher-level trading expert. The Cavaliers will have to add more money if they want to get Anthony.

There are specialties in the art industry, and although Presti is indeed a genius in trading, his genius lies in other places...

Anthony's trade to the Cavaliers has shaken up the entire scene.

Fortunately, order was restored to the scene after David Stern came to his senses and continued.

However, everyone's eyes have now turned to James and Anthony from time to time.

But Ye Si's eyes have always been on Nick Young's side.

So, who are the Clippers targeting?

I have no interest in Anthony, but I chose Cousins, a player that the team does not urgently need...

"In the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft, with the sixth overall pick, the Philadelphia 76ers selected the swingman from Ohio State University, Evan Turner!"

The 76ers already have Iverson. Iverson's current body cannot play the No. 2 position. It is too difficult for the current Iverson to defend the No. 2 position, so the 76ers can only choose Turner, the top six rookie, and give up. John Wall.

Therefore, after Anthony's trade, John Wall could only continue to be dumbfounded.

Although the guards who are not shooting are being hurt badly by Rondo, is it really that miserable?

If I had known this, I would have practiced shooting earlier!

John Wall really wants to cry now. Damn it. His good friend Avery Bradley was the same as him. They agreed to play talent together, but in the end Bradley was taken to play by Yes. Got technology!

Now Bradley is popular and drinks hot food, but now he is in such a miserable state.

"In the first round of the 2010 NBA draft, with the seventh overall pick, the New York Knicks selected Epe Udu from Baylor University!"

As the leader of Baylor University's NCAA surge this year, Epe Udu was once ranked among the top five prospects after the NCAA ended, and was even close to the top three. However, due to the unlucky wrist injury during the draft physical test, he missed all trials and training sessions. In the final physical test, even Little Midoriya was absent.

If he hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have been a top six pick this year, but a top seven pick.

New York's Chen Jianghua had good statistics last season, and Jeremy Lin's performance was also good. The commercial value is very high, and there is no need for a point guard. However, he lacks a superstar insider, so John Wall can only be messy now.

His admiration for his good friend Bradley is already +10086 and is about to overflow.

"In 2010, in the first round, with the eighth pick, the Milwaukee Bucks selected the forward from Wake Forest University, Aminu!"

The Bucks have Jennings…

In fact, John Wall was already prepared before David Stern opened the Bucks envelope.

So, by being messy.

Seeing John Wall like this now, the All-Star players and rookies in the Little Green Room can't bear it.

There is no way, from middle school to high school to college, John Wall has been a proud man.

Now……

"John is definitely the most miserable proud man of heaven now..."

As a former good friend, Bradley is now very sympathetic.

He escaped from the suffering of the Cavaliers and went to the Nuggets, which is good.

But John...

Bradley was sympathetic and thankful at the same time.

As a former double pride, what happened to John Wall now is probably the result of him not listening to the captain's words and relying on his outstanding talent without practicing skills or shooting!

Avery Bradley is afraid when he thinks that he, as the chosen one, will fall to such a point in the draft.

"Fortunately I met the boss!"

"In the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft, with the ninth overall pick, the Detroit Pistons selected center Greg Monroe from Georgetown University!"

When David Stern finished reading the Pistons envelope, David Stern was stunned.

At this time, Pistons fans on the Internet were already going crazy.

"Greg Monroe is great, but we want John Wall!"

"Is Stucky Joe Dumars' father? Why do you still believe him?!"

"We lost Billups for Starkey and now we have to lose John Wall?!"

Stuckey performed very well last season, averaging 17+6 per game. In Joe Dumars' view, that was enough. The Pistons need center talent more than point guard talent.

As for John Wall, yes, the talent is amazing, but he is too unpolished.

On the contrary, Starkey's talent is not as good as John Wall, but he has been polished.

Therefore, even though he knows that he may be scolded now, he still has no regrets.

The Sonics could draft Leonard with the fourth pick.

What's wrong with me using the ninth pick to select Monroe, who is better suited for the Pistons?

It's just that John Wall is completely dead now, and he doesn't even envy Bradley anymore.

David Stern on the court was afraid to pronounce the next name.

"In the 2010 NBA Draft, with the tenth pick in the first round, the Toronto Raptors selected guard John Wall from the University of Kentucky!"

Finally got selected.

But John Wall, who was selected, was not happy at all and was even more confused than before.

"It's already dropped to tenth place, why can't it drop one more?!"

"Go to Toronto, it's even worse than Cleveland!"

John Wall really wants to cry now.

Bradley couldn't bear to feel secretly happy with John Wall's current expression.

Before this draft, he really felt that he should be the worst person this time.

Unexpectedly, there is no worst, only worse. John Wall not only dropped to tenth, but was also picked up by the Raptors.

Now who doesn't know that the Raptors are a laughingstock!

"Who would be a serious person to go to the Raptors!"

These are the exact words Chris Bosh said when he left the Raptors.

The Raptors are a bunch of mentally ill people right now.

The fans have a mental problem, the players have a mental problem, and the management also has a mental problem.

To go to a team like this, you might as well go to Cleveland.

On the stage, looking at the dark group of people below, Wall said thank you, but in his heart, he thought, going to the Raptors is really not as good as going to the Cavaliers.

After John Wall thanked the Raptors with a heavy heart, he returned to his seat.

However, just as Davidster returned to his seat, he had just finished reading about the Utah Jazz selecting Gordon Hayward with the 11th overall pick. The scene that had been calm became noisy again.

"The Cleveland Cavaliers announced that they would use the team's All-Star guard Deron Williams and the team's 16th overall pick this year as trade chips to acquire rookie player John Wall and young players from the Toronto Raptors. DeRozan and Reggie Evans with a garbage contract!”

When John Wall just sat down and heard the news, he didn't know how to react for a while.

God, did he suddenly come?

Except for John Wall, who didn't know his feelings at all now, everyone else was a little shocked.

“The knight’s chips really are so big that it’s going to blow up the screen!”

In addition to the onlookers who were shocked by the Cavaliers' chips, the Jazz fans who are even more crazy on the Internet now are.

"The damn Deron Williams was sent to the Toronto Raptors by the Cavaliers. He deserves it. God finally opened his eyes!"

Home in Cleveland.

Utah, Cleveland, Toronto…

Delong was trembling with anger and cold with regret...

He missed Utah, he missed the old man who cared for him in every possible way...
