The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 567 Welcome to New York!It's draft time again!
"Are there many managements of other teams that are in contact with you now?"

Zhou Si didn't answer immediately, but asked Orsi instead.

Orsi showed a wry smile and turned on the phone.

Careful Zhou Si has already discovered that he has already put his phone in airplane mode.

Take a look at Orsi's call log.

Luke Walton (Lakers general manager), Ainge (Celtics general manager), Presti (Thunder general manager)…

The names of the other 29 team managements all appeared in Orsi's cell phone call records.

"You are Xiangmomo, the other 29 teams can't wait to hold a gun to my forehead and let me agree to trade you to them!"

"Warriors and Cavaliers also want to trade me?"

Zhou Si asked a little curiously.

According to his thinking, if he left, the Blazers' strength would decline. They are the team most likely to win the championship, and they have led the team to defeat them many times in the past few years. Are they not afraid of their players or fans' opinions?

General Manager Orsi sighed again and said,
"On the contrary, these two teams have the strongest willingness to trade.

After all, they can be said to be the team that knows your strength best besides us. "

As he said that, General Manager Orsi looked at Zhou Si resentfully.

"Also, the front office of both of their teams said that there are no items not for sale in the team ...

Curry, Durant, James, Irving...

In other words, they are willing to give anything to trade you. "

Zhou Si nodded when he heard the words, this desire is really strong enough.

It seems that the next stop is up to him.

Although many teams didn't consider Zhou Si, it was still very comfortable to be valued so much by Zhou Si.

"What about the team's opinion?"

Zhou Si looked at Orsi and asked.

"Reject all transactions!"

General Manager Orsi said without hesitation.

Zhou Si smiled wryly and said,
"Mr. Orsi, don't be like this, I really want to hear the team's opinion."

General Manager Orsi sighed again and said,

"Mr. Paul Allen has already told me to let you decide your next stop.

His opinion is the team's opinion. "

Zhou Si didn't expect Paul Allen to miss him so much before he left, and expressed his thoughts with emotion on his face.

"To be honest, I haven't made a complete decision yet, and I need to wait until the free market opens and meet with a few teams before making a decision.

But don't worry, I will try my best to exchange for some high-quality resources for the team, so that the team's road to four consecutive championships will not be greatly affected by my departure.

Also, at that time, I should choose a team that has no history of winning the championship before and completely rebuild it. "

General Manager Orsi nodded.

Zhou Si really did what he thought, even if he was about to leave, he would consider them.

"By the way, I will also give advice to the team when the draft comes."

General Manager Orsi nodded again.

Jokic, Josh Richardson, Siakam.

Among the three players suggested by Zhou Si before, Jokic has been proven to be an absolute superstar embryo;

Although Siakam is almost there, as long as he keeps working hard, he can reach the All-Star level;
The worst Josh Richardson is not well-known in the league, but the general manager Orsi, who has watched his training, knows that even if he can't make the All-Star in the future, he can reach the quasi-All-Star level!

You know, these three are not lottery picks!

Therefore, general manager Orsi has always trusted Zhou Si's draft vision.

……

"Butler asked to be traded, and many teams are interested..."

"The Knicks hope to trade Anthony, many pairs are interested..."

Although the NBA has expressly stipulated that teams and players cannot contact in advance before the free market opens, some rumors are still being released.

It's just that unlike previous years' crazy pursuit of superstars, this year's rumor market is a bit weird. Although there are contacts, no team has given specific promises.

All teams are waiting for that man's decision!

……

On June 6, the 24 NBA Draft was once again held at the Barclays Center, home of the Nets.

The Nets had the No. [-] pick in their previous draft picks, but they traded the pick to the Celtics in the trade for Pierce and the Wolverines a few years ago.

Therefore, this night is quite a bit of salt in the wound for them.

By the way, what hurts Nets fans even more is that their first-round pick for next year is also with the Celtics...

They have neither present nor future...

Therefore, when Zhou Si entered the main venue, he was not surprised when he heard "the Nets need you!" and "the Nets welcome you!".

Although the Nets meet some of Zhou Si's requirements for the new owner, everything has to wait for the free market to open before making a conclusion.

In addition to "Welcome to the Nets!", "Welcome to the Knicks!" "Welcome to the Bulls!" There are also many voices.

One is another team in New York, the world's number one city, and the other is Chicago, where Zhou Si had been before.

They also seem to be very fanatical about chasing Zhou Si!
Zhou Si didn't want to overwhelm the host and didn't respond, but silently took Ye Qin's arm and sat in his own seat.

Next to Zhou Si, sat his old acquaintance—Maddy.

He is here to stand for his disciples!

In McGrady's words, although the other two top picks, Lonzo Ball and Jason Tatum, are not bad, they are far behind his disciples!
During this time, McGrady also asked about Zhou Si's plans for the future, but Zhou Si lightly changed the subject.

Now Zhou Si is on the cusp and doesn't want to reveal too much information.

Because of Zhou Si, general manager Orsi experienced the feeling of being a star, and then he exchanged the No. 60 pick for the Thunder's No. 17 pick with the same [-] and No. [-] picks as in the previous two years!

In the words of Thunderball management,
"It's worth it for a draft pick to make friends with the Blazers!"

According to the previous Trail Blazers' trial records, the outside media and other team managements believe that the Blazers hope to use this pick to select TJ Leaf from UCLA, John Collins from Wake Forest University or OG Anuno from Indiana University. Compare.

These three are the best power forwards outside the lottery show, and they are indeed players that the Blazers desperately need.

At the draft, TJ Leaf, John Collins and OG Anunobi were all in high spirits!

Can be favored by the Blazers, even if they can't be selected by the Blazers, as the Blazers are more and more recognized in the draft, their draft picks are likely to rise by several places!
This is not only a false name, but also related to their salary and tactical status!

Seeing the three of them in full swing, the eyes of the other rookies in the same class were full of envy.

Even many lottery picks in the green room want to replace them as the Blazers' targets.

Although there is news that Zhou Si is leaving the Blazers, the Blazers of Lillard and Jokic are still the favorites to win the championship.

Isn't it good to become a four-time champion in his rookie season?

Moreover, Portland has become a holy place for basketball in the hearts of many young players.

Playing in such a place will definitely be exciting!
