Chapter 357 Draft lottery and trade

May 5th was the day of the NBA draft lottery, and several low-ranked teams all went to Madison Square Garden.

Overall, this year's draft is not as high as next year's, let alone Li Lei's debut and peak last year.

Therefore, the general managers present were not interested in most of the rookies who came to increase their exposure.

Because Yao Ming was going to participate in the Asian Games, he didn't come to the scene like these popular rookies. This made Jay Williams very excited. Although Duke's performance this year was very average, his performance deserved to be the No. 20 guard in the NCAA. He averaged 5 points, 8 rebounds, and [-] assists per game. He was praised by everyone as Kidd.

Although in last year's NCAA finals, the five-star Duke was crushed by the most ordinary UCLA in history, but looking at Li Lei's performance in the NBA this season, many people will take it for granted that Duke's loss was not wronged. After all, they lost to the third person in NBA history, and the third player in NBA history to win the MVP in the rookie season. This feat is not even Larry Bird and Jordan.

"I have only one goal, and that is the No. [-] pick. Just wait, next season will prove who is the number one point guard in the NBA." Jay Williams is not as powerful as Battier. If he hadn't lost to UCLA last year, then he might be the MOP of the semifinals.

Facing so many reporters, talking nonsense is the usual style of these black players. Perhaps their ancestors have been oppressed for a long time, and they are used to yelling about everything. If Chinese and Asians are as high-profile as them in North America, then perhaps they will not be so ignored in terms of social status.

The reporters didn't care about this. Anyway, when they entered their manuscripts, everything would be completely different. They could write Jay Williams' words as saying that the other party disdains Li Lei, thinks the latter is superficial, and they can beat Li Lei with one hand.Don't overestimate the integrity of these uncrowned kings, for their own jobs, they can give up anything.

The Cavaliers and Warriors all have a 20.00% chance of winning the No. 11.00 pick, while the Knicks have an [-]% chance of ranking third, followed by the Clippers, Mosaics, Grizzlies, Nuggets, and Heat Wizards.Mosaic is the same as in the previous life, with only [-]% chance of winning the No. [-] lottery. If they win the No. [-] lottery, they will definitely choose Yao Ming, because they already have Francis as an All-Star on the back line. Although Jay Williams said the hype, but basketball is played, not blown.

The general managers of each team sat together and chatted happily. Although the lottery has a chance problem, as long as the league does not intentionally manipulate it behind the scenes, these chances are basically the success rate of the lottery.

Of course, Jerry Krause also went to the scene. He went for Richardson, because Richardson has already said that he does not want to be in the Bulls, but wants to go to other teams. The rookie guard who averaged 14 points per game in his hand is definitely more sought-after than the rookies who have not been baptized in the NBA. So Jerry Krause is here to promote Richardson.

The result of the draft lottery came out soon. The Warriors won the No. 03 pick. The Cavaliers had the same probability as the Warriors. They ended up getting the No. [-] pick. The general manager of the Cavaliers, Jim Patterson, was devastated at this moment. Lottery, [-] was a big year. If you choose anyone, the Cavaliers can take off. Now I can only hope that the Warriors choose Jay Williams or Dunleavy Jr. instead of Yao Ming, so that the Cavaliers can miss out.

The Knicks were also a little disappointed. How much Scott Layden wanted to get the No. [-] pick and choose Yao Ming. Yao Ming seemed to see the shadow of a super center.

Scott Layden's calculation is the same as that of Jim Patterson, as long as the Warriors don't choose Yao Ming, they will choose.Even if Yao Ming is a parallel importer, he can still sell a lot of money by selling tickets, which Olavokandi and Swift do not have.The huge market behind Yao Ming is what these managers care about the most, and this has even surpassed their cognition of his personal strength.

The Bulls got the 27th pick in the first round. Jerry Krause felt that the heat was almost ready. He came to Unseld and Joe Dumars, and the latter two seemed to be talking about something.

"Wes, think about it. Michael and his junior partner. What a beautiful picture it will be. We can send Brian and Ratke. Those two are great guys. I believe that under Michael's leadership, they will definitely shine their own light." Joe Dumars was fooling Unseld.

And Joe Dumars, after being reprimanded by boss Bill Davidson, also understood that Jerry Stackhouse, Jordan's younger brother, had to get out, and 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 make it to the East.

So instead of this, it's better to send Jerry Stackhouse away. Although his scoring this season is not as high as last season, he can at least maintain it at 20+, and Hamilton, who he likes, also has 20 points this season, but Jordan doesn't like Ray Allen's junior.So if you get Hamilton by yourself, then the Pistons have good defensive strength in all five positions, and they can definitely do a big job next season.

Unseld was fooled by Joe Dumars, and the whole person was dizzy. Jerry Krause's chubby face showed that iconic smile. It was really too early to come, "Wes, although Joe's chips are attractive enough, but don't you listen to my chips? We are willing to give away this year's first-rounder, Jason Richardson, and Bagridge to replace Richard Hamilton and the No. 10 pick in your hand."

Unseld raised his head. Hamilton, a shooting guard who had a soft style of play and was criticized by Jordan in various ways, has become a favorite, and the chips sent by the Bulls are obviously more sincere than the Pistons. The Pistons, Brian Cardinal and Ratkwolda are a bunch of drinking fountain managers, and I don't think Jerry Stackhouse is better than Hamilton.Moreover, Joe Dumars had to send Hubert Davis and Bobby Simmons himself. These two are the only two players on the Wizards' bench. If they are sent away, what will the Wizards do?

Joe Dumas had a good abacus, but when Krause came out halfway, Joe Dumas could only scold his mother in his heart. After deciding to trade Stackhouse, he also communicated with Carlisle.

So Joe Dumars came out, but he had to give up, "Wes, don't listen to Jerry fooling you. Jason Richard is just an ordinary rookie. How can he compare with Jerry Stackhouse, who is Jordan's successor. He averaged 29 points per game last season. This is something Richardson can't compare. I remember that Richardson scored just over 14 points this season, not even half of Jerry's."

Unseld hesitated, because what Joe Dumars said made sense, Jerry Krause was not in a hurry, he was still very calm, "Wes, you are a professional player, you should understand that there are some things that cannot be reflected in the statistics. He didn't take as many shots, his scoring dropped, and he didn't even shoot 29 percent, and you should understand how scary it is for a guard to not even shoot 24 percent."

Damn, if Joe Dumars had a gun in his hand, he would definitely kill Jerry Krause without hesitation. The latter's data theory was also learned from Li Lei. Li Lei would always talk about these data when the team was training. Everything S said was true.

"I'm sorry, Joe, but your chips won't move me unless you add Chris Williams to the mix."

Hearing Unseld's words, Joe Dumars had no choice but to leave, and Krause and Unseld went through some wrangling, and finally the Bulls sent Richardson, Crawford, this year's first-round pick, and next year's second-round pick.Get Richard Hamilton, Hubert Davis and this year's Wizards No. 10 pick. When the door opens in the summer trading market, the deal can be announced.
