The Lakers officially announced the signing of the 35-year-old veteran center Dan Gadzuric.Based on the team's confidentiality agreement, the details of the contract have not been disclosed;

The 76ers have officially signed a four-year contract with former Lakers player Darius Morris;

……

Because most of the big-name stars have gone to form super teams, and others are just tinkering, and no large-scale trades have been announced. Various teams are also waiting and watching to see how this season will turn out, because super teams Too many, other teams know that this season is not a good time to participate in the championship, they might as well take advantage of this time to mess up and get a No. [-] pick is the real thing!

Next year's draft favorite Wiggins is desired by all teams. His template has been searched for almost all superstars in the NBA, from Pippen to Jordan, from James to Durant, and some people compare him to a more focused player. McGrady is a terrifying combination of abnormal physical fitness and basketball skills.

Some people even think that if all the players who have entered the league in the past ten years are re-drafted, only Oden will be selected before Wiggins. Even Durant has no way to shake Wiggins' status. Irving, Rose, Griffin, Howard and other top picks all have no choice but to be defeated!
So the team that is already desperate to win the championship has begun to perform poorly, but in terms of poor performance, the Timberwolves from Minnesota sneered: In terms of poor performance, I say everyone here is rubbish!
Before the All-Star Game, the Timberwolves only won 11 games, um, ranking the bottom in the league!

Some things have long been injected into the depths of the soul, and it doesn't mean that Gatsby's arrival can change it.

The NBA has so many years of history, and each team has its own temperament.

For example, no matter what historical stage the Houston Rockets are in, no matter how poor they are, there is still a tenacious atmosphere in the garbage;
The Cavaliers have all the history without LeBron James, counting from 1970, no matter how tough they become, it feels like he will become garbage;

The Lakers and Green Kai continued to fall in arrogance;
The Grizzlies are a morale whether they are strong or weak, their defense is okay, defense has been injected into their soul;

As for the Nuggets, whether they are strong or weak, their offense is unrivaled in the world, but their defense, hey, is there such a thing?
Well, the Timberwolves have a special ability, which is called I am good at playing badly and getting high picks. Not only that, but I also like to play and miss!
In 2009, the Timberwolves chose the golden boy Rubio with the No. 5 pick. This is an understandable choice.But then they took the guard Flynn with the No. 6 pick, missed Curry with the No. 7 pick, and DeRozan with the No. 9 pick. Well, now Flynn has no ball to play.

In the 2010 draft, the Timberwolves, holding the No. 4 pick, finally chose small forward Wesley Johnson, and the Kings picked Cousins ​​​​with the No. 5 pick. Today, Cousins ​​​​has grown into the best player in the league. One of the center forwards.

In 2013, the Timberwolves obtained the No. 14 pick that year through a trade. The pick was not high, and they finally chose Shabazz Muhammad, missing out on Antetokounmpo.

In 2014, the Timberwolves selected Robinson III with the 40th pick, and Jokic was the 41st pick. Everyone knows how to ask a teacher.

Donny Walsh also often discusses how good this Wiggins is at Gatsby.

"Hey, that kid. I met him when he was 14 years old. He is really an outstanding kid. He has a very good overall view, good passing, very team awareness, excellent breakthrough and shooting, and physical plasticity. Extremely strong, his understanding of basketball is amazing.

Now that he has grown up, he is 6 feet 7 inches tall and has a wingspan of 6 feet 11. He has not suffered any injuries until now, and there are basically no potential injuries. As long as he plays healthy in the NBA, there must be one of him in the Super League.

Hey, what a pity, it would be nice if our Knicks had a pick to sign him! ’ sighed Donny Walsh.

Gatsby looked on coldly: "What do you think?"

Donny Walsh took a sneak peek at Gatsby: "If you can trade for the No. [-] lottery, would you be willing, Gatsby?"

Gatsby laughed: "Who do you want to trade with?"

Donnie Walsh said with a chuckle, "Such an outstanding talent is definitely not available to ordinary people."

Gatsby laughed. "Clay? Kawhi?"

Donnie Walsh shook his head: "Klay is not good enough. At least someone is interested in Kawhi, and maybe Harris or Green."

Gatsby smiled very happily. He would have to add Harris and Green to win the future MVP, and replace him with a wolfberry health brother. Is he crazy or feels that life is not enough? Even if the Knicks have the No. [-] pick, Gatsby It won't be used to choose Wiggins. Isn't it good to choose Embiid?Wouldn't it be nice to choose Jokic?

"Is there a door?" Donnie Walsh's eyes lit up. "Is it possible?"

Gatsby shook his head: "We don't need to exchange such a good lineup for a rookie who doesn't know if he can become a talent. Are Leonard, Clay, Green, and Harris not good enough?"

Donnie Walsh sighed: "No matter how strong you are, you can't be better than LeBron!"

Gatsby smiled: "Can Wiggins grow to LeBron's level?"

"Even surpassing LeBron!"

Naive!
Gatsby smiled and said, "Well, what's the matter? Kawhi and Klay are our present, and they will be our mainstay even in the next ten years. With them, the Knicks are the best team in the league. Take them to bet on a rookie who doesn't know the future?

Okay, let’s not mention this matter again. I won’t agree to it, but I have an agreement with the Kings. I will help them choose someone, and he will give us a second-round pick. Then we can choose A great player to develop. "

Donnie Walsh looked dejected: "A genius like Wiggins will not come again if he misses it! Who can be selected in the second round, and he has to be cut if he comes."

Gatsby laughed and said, "Some people are really good, it's just that no one digs them out. I'm not drafted either."

"Yeah, okay, you're right!" Donny Walsh retreated.

　Wiggins was really highly regarded before entering the NBA.
