God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 171
In Chang Wei's memory, 2000 was a veritable draft year. Only the No. 5 pick Kenyon Martin, the No. 8 pick Mike Miller, the No. 16 pick Jamal Crawford, and the No. Hedo Turkoglu and No. 43 pick Michael Reid, the others are No. 18 pick Quentin Richardson and No. 19 pick Magloire are not bad, and the other players are basically not worth mentioning .With the current lineup of the 76ers, it stands to reason that it is best to trade the top picks and then choose Turkoglu. George Lynch at the small forward position is still worse.

But Chang Wei does not intend to suggest that Brown choose Turkoglu. After all, Turkoglu played the point forward in the Magic at the peak of his career, which means that he needs a lot of ball possession, and now the team already has a ball bully. , Another one will probably hurt both sides.Of course, Chang Wei can also transform Turkoglu into a small forward with comprehensive offense and defense, but he does not intend to do so. It is better to let Turkoglu continue to grow slowly into a point forward according to his original trajectory.

So who should Brown choose?Chang Wei took the list of players participating in this year's draft and slowly pondered it.First of all, the player’s pick should not be too high, so even if he can be traded for the pick, he will definitely have to pay a huge price. Secondly, he does not need to be very famous, but he must be easy to use. If possible, it is best to be a defensive wing. players.

If Chang Wei recommends another offensive player, then Brown will probably lose his temper. At that time, the team's defensive burden will be on Snow and Mutombo. How is this different from the previous life?Now Chang Wei can use the system to simulate the future development direction of the players, but it needs to consume 100 reputation points every time, and the players participating in the draft are almost three digits, so even if you want to simulate, you must find the key points, Guangsa The net is absolutely not acceptable.

Suddenly Chang Wei saw a slightly familiar name on the list, Desmond Mason, who was inspired by Reed.In his previous life, when Reid reached the peak in the Bucks, Chang Wei remembered that there seemed to be a small forward with this name beside him.He threw out 100 reputation points without hesitation, and let the system simulate Mason's development direction.

The simulation results are not bad. This guy was also an all-around offensive and defensive guy at his peak, which is much better than a pure offensive player like Lewis.Moreover, Chang Wei is confident that he will be a 3D player, so that someone on the wing will escort Iverson.However, Chang Wei has forgotten where Mason was selected in his previous life. Anyway, it was between the 10th and 20th picks, so he is not sure how high the draft picks must be traded to ensure that Mason is selected.

Forget it, let the management have a headache, it's my luck, not my life.Moreover, with the system's madness and coolness, the current lineup of the 76ers may not have no chance of defeating the Lakers to win the championship.

Regarding Chang Wei's suggestion, Brown was a little skeptical. After all, among the two players introduced earlier, Mutombo was also very optimistic about him. It can only be said that Chang Wei happened to think of the same point as himself.And Lewis didn't cost too much, and Brown really wanted him to be the team's backup power forward, so it didn't matter.But now Chang Wei actually suggested that the team trade up the pick, which seems unnecessary.

Moreover, the Mason recommended by Chang Wei was not within the scope of Brown's consideration, and of course he did not want Turkoglu, a Turk.Brown only intends to randomly select a player with good physical test results at the position that the team needs to supplement.

However, Brown still raised his mouth to the management. Although he didn't think it was necessary, he didn't want to dampen Chang Wei's enthusiasm.As for whether those guys in the management are willing to trade up the draft picks, or even choose Mason as a player, it depends on their ideas. Brown himself doesn't mind too much.

Except for the 76ers, the other 28 teams are also intensively preparing for this year's draft. At the same time, they are also fighting each other in the transfer market, hoping to get the players that the team desperately needs.Of course, compared to them, the 76ers are undoubtedly ahead. In fact, the 76ers have nothing to add now. Just fill the rest of the list.

King was intrigued by the idea of ​​moving up the pick, and up until the draft, he kept trying to trade the No. 20 pick to someone higher up the draft without giving up any major rotation players.At the beginning, he was still thinking about whether he could switch to the lottery pick. After being rejected in a row, he set his sights on the 15th to 19th picks.

The Sonics, who had done a deal before, were a good partner, but they were unwilling to give away their No. 17 pick. There was no way, so King had to continue to ask several other teams.Fortunately, except for the Sonics and the Kings, the Bucks, Hornets and Clippers are all willing to trade their draft picks. They believe that there is no player they want in this pick.

In fact, this is also a kind of gamble. In case there is a player who he wants but is predicted to be drafted very high due to various reasons, the deal will be considered a loss.However, King believes that these teams really don't have any players to choose. After weighing, he chose the Bucks with a higher pick, and exchanged Ira Bowman and the 20th pick for the 15th pick. .

However, Jin's first choice was different from Chang Wei's recommended Mason. He wanted Jerome Moiso, a power forward from UCLA, and he didn't know how he fell in love with this big black man.But King still chose Mason as an alternate candidate. He thought this was the player Brown wanted to choose. If Moiso was intercepted, he would choose Mason.

Chang Weisui doesn't remember Mason's specific pick, but he's pretty sure the guy wasn't picked in the lottery, so he was excited when the team officially announced the trade for the No. 15 pick, which would guarantee Mason is selected.That is to say, he doesn't know Jin's thoughts. If he knows that Jin wants to choose a black power forward who doesn't know what the hell he is, he might beat up the general manager severely. This vision is too bad !
But thinking about the stupid decisions Jin made in the future, it doesn't seem like a big mistake to take a fancy to Moiseo?
