Chapter 400 397: Young draft year?My teammates are too stable (4.3K begging tickets)
Wayne, who got the ultimate invincible killer, is looking forward to his badge coming in handy soon.

It's like learning a new skill while playing a game, and you can't wait to try it out.

At the same time, Wayne also hopes to keep the winning streak as long as possible.

Immediately after the Raptors, Wayne had a chance to try out the badge.

On December 12, the Trail Blazers' last game of 30.

The Portland Trail Blazers face the Boston Celtics for the second time this season.

This time, the battle will be fought in the Rose Garden.

There is no doubt that the attention of this game is no less than that of the Christmas game on the 25th.

But in the Christmas game, people are more concerned about basketball itself.

What people want to see is how the Lakers and Trail Blazers can play the game.

But today, fans' attention was a little off topic.

Celtics and Trail Blazers play basketball?

Mmm, it's very nice.

But watching them fight is more interesting!

The day before the start of the game, the major media were discussing whether Barkley and the Green Kai players would stage a rematch.

Will Wayne break the mark in this game.

Several people will be sent off in today's game.

Kenny Smith even clamored directly: "Charles will break the record for the longest suspension of an assistant coach created by himself!"

These headlines made Stern laugh: "Can you fucking stop fighting! Can't you watch basketball?"

Jazz Ba was also very speechless. He emphasized more than once in the pre-match interview: "I am a truly civilized person, and it was not my intention to beat people. Therefore, I will never do anything out of line during the game."

Well, said the guy who gave Rondo a concussion and a broken finger less than a month ago.

One mouthful, one civilized person.

When Rondo heard this, he only thought of he, tui~
Well, because of the absence of Long's guidance, it is actually unlikely that Lukai and the Blazers will fight today.

Gentleman Lei has never caused any conflicts, and Harder has long since stopped engaging in that kind of fighting, especially in front of Wayne, Harder is strongly opposed to violence.

As for PP, although he has some dissatisfaction with Wayne in his heart, he is still quite rational.

Don't do it easily.

Unless you are prepared to be blocked in the locker room.

Therefore, this game was played in a harmonious and friendly way.

Although on the court, everyone's confrontation is still very rough.

But that was all roughness within the scope of the game, and it was far from rising to the level of an explosive conflict.

And because there is no Rondo, a young expert in fighting the fire, the two sides did not even have any quarrel.

The fight failed, and Wayne thought that Lukai should give him a chance to try the solo badge.

As a result, today's game was only halfway through the fourth quarter, and the suspense was basically lost.

Without the second center in the Eastern Conference, C, Lukai had to use Eddie House as point guard.

Although House is 1 meters tall, he is a serious shooter in the second position.

I really don't know anything about organization!
So far in his career, House has averaged only 2.5 assists in the season with the most assists per game.

Without an organization with more C, first of all, Lukai's offense is not as smooth as before.

Secondly, Eddie House really can't defend against Paoluo.

In the second half, Coach Rivers used Jun Zilei to defend Cannon, and Eddie House to defend Tony, whose offense was about zero.

And guess what?Tony scored 12 points in a daze today.

In the second half, Tony leaned on House for a layup after making various cuts. It was not too easy.

In this way, Wayne only took 15 shots today to help the team win the game.

It's still far from the number of 20 shots.

It's very sad.

109 to 97, the Green Kai lost to the Trail Blazers by 12 points in the away game. Rose Garden is happy to mention the 21st game winning streak of this season-the only second-longest winning streak in league history!

The Blazers have also become the only team that has never been defeated since the formation of the Green Kai Big Three.

If the Trail Blazers and Green Kai hadn't met in the finals in the summer of 09, then this curse would haunt the Bostonians throughout the season.

Oh, even if they meet in the finals, this spell may not necessarily be broken.
Although he won the game, the reporters after the game found that Godway was not very happy.

Don't ask, it's what you guys do, I'm not happy to say it!

And Danny Angie, who was far away in Boston, was also very distressed at this time.

The Celtics lost again, and they still lost by 12 points even though the opponent had stopped in the second half of the fourth quarter.

From last season to the present, Green Kai's record against the Trail Blazers in the regular season is all four games.

This can't help but make Danny Ainge start to seriously think about a question-can this team really win the championship?
If not, how to restore it?

The answer is very clear, that is to make an early move while the Big Three still have transaction value.

A very cruel fact is that the transaction value of Ray Allen, Pierce and Garnett is decreasing year by year.

Therefore, if Angie wants to change the current situation, he must make a decision as soon as possible.

Well, in the original history, the Big Three of Lukai won the championship once, and there will be great opportunities in the next few years.

But now, the chances of winning the championship are getting smaller and smaller, and God knows what Angie will do.

after all
It's all just business to him.

So far, the 2008 schedule has all come to an end.

This also means that the All-Star Weekend is coming.

And with the arrival of the All-Stars, there are various transfer transactions in the middle of the season.

In the next period of time, as the trade deadline approaches, the league will enter a stage of frequent transactions and transfers.

With the arrival of 2009 and the start of the new NCAA season, various draft reports have also become popular.

Wayne saw several reports about the draft the next day, but what surprised him was that almost everyone seemed to believe that 09 was a bad year for the draft.

"Ah, here." Wayne was speechless. How could 09 be a young draft year?
As far as Wayne knows, Harden and Curry alone are two MVP-level players.

In addition, there are all-stars such as Griffin, DeRozan and Holiday.

Going down, the real James Jennings, Rubio, Gibson, Zhang Tielin, Darren Collison and other players are also flourishing in the league.

This is not a young year!

Oh, OK.

Wayne has his eyes open, but if he doesn't, 09 seems to be a really small year.

No one with a particularly bright future.

There are too few good centers and strikers, and too many guards.

Wayne shook his head, so just take a look at the draft report.

Because no one can really predict the future.

In the afternoon, the league also had its first deal in 2009.

Come earlier than usual.

Of course, this transaction did not cause much controversy.

Most people, Wayne included, didn't pay much attention to the news.

On January 1, the NBA officially confirmed the approval of the trade application between the Golden State Warriors and Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves sent Randy Foye, who was intercepted by the Blazers to force them to trade Roy.

The Golden State Warriors sent third-year guard Kailana Azubuike, who averaged 14 points per game this season, and Italian second-year shooter Marco Belinelli.

As for the Timberwolves, when they chose Roy, they actually wanted to trade with Mosaic as a whole.

Little did they know that the Blazers selected Roy in advance between the Timberwolves and Mosaic, breaking the PY deal.

There was no way, the Timberwolves were afraid that Roy would fall into their hands, so they bit the bullet and exchanged Foye with the sixth pick for Roy with the seventh pick.

Foye started off as one of the best instant players in the draft, but he didn't catch up with the then-Houters.

Over the years, as the aura of "Little Wade" has faded, Foye is unwilling to organize, and the shortcomings of low offensive efficiency have also been exposed.

Of course, the most important reason for the Timberwolves to give up Foye is that the relationship between him and OJ Mayo has been difficult to reconcile.

Because Foye couldn't play point guard, he once played a few games for Mayo this season, which made Foye very dissatisfied.

And on the court, Foye and Mayo are not enough points for one goal.

Under such circumstances, the Timberwolves can only choose one of the two.

There is no doubt that Mayo's current potential is higher than Foye's.

So in the end, Randy Foye was put on the shelves.

Then, something embarrassing happened.
Foye can't sell it for a price!
Although he has averaged 14 points per game this season, his shooting percentage is only 40%, which is a score based on shots.

Coupled with the fact that Foye can't play the point guard organization, and the scoring efficiency of the shooting guard is not good, the positioning is very embarrassing.

At this time, the LOGO man picked up the trash.

He is willing to offer Azubuike and Belinelli, which is very sincere in all the offers.

Azubuike and Foye entered the industry in the same year, but they were undrafted.However, after two and a half seasons with the Warriors, he has shown the potential to counterattack the undrafted picks.

This season, with the same average of 14 points per game, Azubuike's shooting percentage is as high as 46%, and his three-point shooting percentage is as high as a terrifying 44%!

The efficiency is so high that Foye doesn't know where to go.

In addition, Azubuike's defense is also very good.

Moreover, because he was born as an undrafted pick, Azubuike does not have princess disease.

If you let him play the starter, he will play the starter, and if you let him play the sixth man, he will play the sixth man.

Follow whatever arrangements you make, and don't make noise.

Italian striker Belinelli is also quite efficient this season, and it turns out that he has fully adapted to the intensity of the NBA.

Therefore, the Timberwolves agreed to the deal. In their view, this was to eliminate a locker room bomb and pick up a shooter for nothing while the player's strength remained undiminished.

The LOGO man took over the hot potato from Randy Foye.

The exchange of players between the two big teams is really not a big news.

Even Lacob, the new owner of the Warriors, didn't understand: "West, what's the deal with Ning? Is Foye really useful to the Warriors?"

The LOGO man is honest, he smiled slightly: "Yes, I have a request!"

Lacob:
A guard who doesn't have Wade's life but has Wade's disease is really useless to the Warriors.

From a close point of view, he can't help the team's record go further.

From a distance, Foye was an instant player when he was drafted, and his potential was not high. Now that he has basically been finalized after three seasons, it is difficult to make a qualitative leap.

But then, the LOGO man said to Lacob: "It's useless to me, but it may not be useless to others. I keep him for his own magical use."

Lacob said he was very embarrassed, can you speak well?

It made me dizzy.

Forget it, I won't ask, the question means that you have a plan.

Well, the LOGO male trading Lafoye is indeed for others to use.

He feels that Foye has no potential and is not worth cultivating, but not everyone thinks so.

There are still some teams that covet any potential potential.

Especially those teams that are in urgent need of results.

For example, the Washington Wizards.

The Wizards have been so bad this season.

It's rotten to the brim.

But the Wizards are different from other bad teams. Although they are bad this season, they have not completely rebuilt.

Everyone believes that as long as the sleeping general wakes up, the Wizards will be able to do it again.

Therefore, the Wizards are very eager for immediate combat power.

It's best to build a championship lineup in one go this summer!

As for the picks after this season's poor performance, the price is negotiable!
As we all know, the 09 draft has always been considered a small draft year.

It's not without reason that Griffin's wingspan is so short that he can always occupy the top pick in the mock draft.

In the words of an ESPN reporter: "The players with the second to tenth picks are actually almost the same. Except for Griffin, it is difficult for the rest of them to become talents."

Therefore, the LOGO man predicts that unless a team like the Wizards can get the top three picks.

Otherwise, this draft pick is useless to them.

In this young draft year, for a bad but not bad team like the Wizards, the picks after the top three picks are of little use to them.

Immediate combat power, can't get it.Potential stocks, and can't wait.

Arenas' contract next season will be as high as 1600 million, who can afford it.

Spend 1600 million to show off and wait for the rookies to grow. Do the Wizards have any brains?

Therefore, if the Wizards can't get the top three picks, then their draft pick, the LOGO man, can use his brains.

In addition to the Wizards, the Raptors, Grizzlies and other teams are also in the same situation.

As long as they can't get the top three picks, they are very likely to choose to trade the picks.

At that time, Randy Foye and others will be able to come in handy.

Don’t think about anything when you come to the Bay Area now, just brush up your data.

You can do whatever you want, you and Monta Ellis and Love, you three can eat the ball.

Anyway, you can brush up.

Lacob still doesn't know much about the LOGO man's deal, but West understands it very well.

This deal is very important to him!

If everything goes well.
Then the Warriors will have two top ten, or even two top five picks this summer!
Plus players like Monta Ellis, Al Harrington and Jackson.

Putting these high-quality chips on the negotiating table is extremely tempting.

At that time, maybe within ten days, the Warriors will become a strong team in the league!
Not a strong team in the playoffs, but a strong team that aims at the championship!

Now, of course, the only problem is
Are these young people in 09 worth anything?
If the rookie itself has no value, the draft picks will have no value.

Before, the LOGO man always thought that Curry was a very valuable rookie, but that tour in New York was really surprising.

I hope his future performance can pick up a bit.

When the LOGO man was still thinking of ways to turn YY into reality, the Blazers' first game in 2009, they easily defeated the New Orleans Hornets, and the opponent had no resistance.

Wayne, as always, didn't go all out and the game was won.

Not to mention 20 shots, because the garbage time came too early, and almost didn't even get 20 points.

What can Wayne do?
My teammates are so steady!
So far, the Trail Blazers' winning streak has reached 22 games.
