Chapter 333 Transaction Announcement
"Today we have a training match, and now we will announce the grouping." The training camp head coach D'Antoni called everyone together.

"Marcus Camby, Elton Brand, Paul Pierce, Tracy McGrady, Marbury, five of you."

"Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Antoine Walker, Kobe, Francis, five of you."

"The rest are off the field ready to play."

After simply announcing the rules, Donovan, the guest coach, began to scrum.

Carter, Nash, and Iverson sat around the court talking and laughing. They have passed the point where they want to use this kind of game to express themselves.

Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi watched the game seriously.

Camby successfully scrambled the ball over Duncan's head, and Marbury copied the ball and went to the basket.

The current Marbury is not the horse political commissar of later generations, and his lone wolf style of playing is fully revealed.

The 17- and 8-year-olds are just at the age when they like to show off. He went straight to the inside, faced Duncan's defense, and used a very difficult lever to lay up a reverse basket.

But under Duncan's interference, the ball hit the side of the basket directly.

Garnett jumped high to collect the rebound.

At this point, Kobe and Francis are already sprinting forward at high speed.

Garnett deserves to be a super power forward of 25+12+5 at the peak, and his long pass accurately found Kobe who was running.

Bryant took the ball and dribbled it and passed it to Francis from the crotch.

Francis catches the ball and jumps high, and an extremely explosive windmill dunks the ball in.

Marbury took the ball and advanced with a look of displeasure on his face.

In his opinion, he is the most beautiful boy in this training camp.

Ignoring McGrady's gesture of asking for the ball, Marbury stared at Francis in front of him, and started to break through the opponent with a stride.

Boss Fu couldn't stop Marbury's breakthrough, and followed Marbury to the inside from the side.

The teammates next to him all became spectators, and they could only watch Marbury carry Boss Ferguson to the inside.

This time, Duncan never gave Marbury another chance, and he blocked Marbury's layup with the side of his palm.

But the ball was caught by McGrady on the side, and he jumped up and put the ball into the basket.

Davis and D'Antoni sat together, and the old god was watching the situation on the court.

"Stephen needs to learn to trust his teammates now. His style is too unique." Davis said to D'Antoni with a smile.

D'Antoni nodded.

Although these players on the court will enter the NBA and enter different teams in the future, they are all D'Antoni's disciples in this training camp, and D'Antoni still cares about them very much.

"If he leads the team by himself, I feel that he can play very gorgeous personal data, but the team's record will definitely not be better there."

After 3 minutes, D'Antoni called a timeout and replaced Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Da Ben, Nash, and Carter. The two teams changed from inside to outside.

The situation on the field suddenly changed very well. Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Da Ben could keep up with the rhythm of their teammates, but the team led by Nash had the upper hand.

"Michael, this boy Stephen, has grown up too fast. If he has your physical fitness, I don't think his achievements will be too low."

DeWeese nodded with a smile, then looked down at his legs.

The outcome of this game is not important, and this kind of training game is often played, the main thing is to look at personal style, and it is unrealistic for them to practice team coordination. . . .

To put it bluntly, Davis held this training camp to ripen these future talents.

And now it looks like it works really well.

Soon, a month passed, and Duncan returned home happily with the training camp MVP trophy.

Next, prepare for the draft.

The Magic are destined to shock everyone in this year's draft.

Because of DeWeese's request, the transaction was not carried out in advance, but chose to be carried out on the day of the draft, which was also to avoid the Stein rule.

Calculated in this way, since 92, the Magic have won a full three No. 3 picks in four years.

Three days after the training camp ended, the draft was held in Toronto, Canada.

DeWeese's recovery speed is not bad. In more than a month, he has been able to walk without crutches.

The doctor's examination results also said that DeWeese's recovery is quite fast.

This also has something to do with his relatively young age.

On the day of the draft, two deals broke out in the league, like a deep-water torpedo hitting the originally calm transfer market.

The first is a three-way deal. The Orlando Magic sent Nick Anderson, the No. 28 pick this year and the first-round pick next year, to get the Warriors' No. [-] pick this year.

The Los Angeles Clippers sent their No. 2 pick to get Nick Anderson and some cash. (Not counting those that DeWeese traded privately)

The Golden State Warriors sent their No. 2 pick and won the Los Angeles Clippers' No. 28 pick, the Magic's No. [-] pick this year and next year's first-round pick.

As soon as the trade broke, the entire league was shocked by Sterling's greed and short-sightedness.

That was the No. [-] pick. Perhaps the cornerstone of the future team will come from a certain rookie this year. Sterling actually said no to a contract that is about to expire and some cash.

But when the reporter interviewed Sterling, he was obviously in very good condition, as if he had made a lot of money.

Then, another three-team trade, the Magic sent Dennis Rodman, Latrell Sprewell, and Max Ronny to get the No. 20 pick from the Timberwolves and the No. [-] pick from the Bulls.

The Minnesota Timberwolves sent their No. [-] pick this year and next year's first-round pick and the team's starting center Tom Gugliotta for Dennis Rodman, Latrell Sprewell, and Max Ronny.

The Bulls traded their No. 20 pick for Tom Gugliota.

The degree of shock of this transaction even surpassed that of the No. [-] pick.

People are wondering if the Magic front office, or rather, Michael DeWeese, is crazy.

The championship lineup is dismantled as soon as it is said, and it starts to be rebuilt?
But their gains are also very large.

No. 20 pick, No. [-] pick, No. [-] pick, and the Timberwolves' draft pick for next year.

But in this transaction, the Magic only got a B grade.

Because the Timberwolves' reinforcements are too obvious.

The addition of two All-Star level players, plus they won the core of the team, yes, it is Sprewell. People are looking forward to what kind of performance Sprewell, who has been suppressed by the Magic for two years, will show after the Timberwolves have gained a very high tactical status.

The Bulls, on the other hand, used a dispensable No. 20 pick that cannot be converted into immediate combat power to obtain a quasi-All-Star center, which is a good supplement for their inside line, which is still the weakest link in the team.

Grant, who was forcibly pushed to the center position last season, did not perform very well. He was often overwhelmed by the opponent's big center. The arrival of Gugliota made the last relative shortcoming of the Bulls disappear.
