Chapter 330 The Shocking Deal at the Draft
On June 6th, the 29 draft will continue to be held at Madison Gardens. Interestingly, the Hornets that got the No. 2012 pick this year is the Hornets that traded Chris Paul to the Clippers last year. Eric Gordon is here After coming to the Hornets, I didn't cope well with the expectations from the Hornets. In the regular season last year, I was injured and in poor condition. I didn't have better teammates in the Hornets. They also won this year's No. [-] pick.

However, the management of the Hornets is in a hurry. They need a star with great viewing ability to restore their extremely sluggish box office, and they won the No. [-] pick this year. With Deng, look forward to their first trip to the playoffs in the near future. For the Hornets, this No. [-] pick is very important.

They have already taken a fancy to this year's MOP Anthony Davis from the University of Kentucky. In the NCAA game, this young insider uses his defense to dominate the court. His defensive ability is like the two thick eyebrows on his face. As thick, on April 4, in the NCAA finals, with Anthony Davis' all-around performance of 3 points, 6 rebounds, 16 blocks and 6 assists, the University of Kentucky defeated the University of Kansas 5:67, and his 59 blocks tied the ncaa finals block record.

His physical talent is also excellent, his height and wingspan are very buggy, and more importantly, he is only 19 years old. Although his offense in the interior is still a bit rough, it has to be said that he has the potential to become the overlord of the interior. A very talented mop but a slightly rough offensive man named An Sheng, this year's second MVP, a superstar with an average of 35+ per game in the finals, and he was in his second year in the league at that time.

In the joint trial training, Anthony Davis also performed very well. The general manager of the Hornets, Dale Demps, even went to the scene to watch this guy's performance, and he was full of praise afterwards, almost Everyone was sure the Hornets would pick Anthony Davis this time around, and in fact, David Stern announced that the Hornets took Anthony Davis with their No. [-] overall pick.

However, Anthony Davis just thanked the Hornets for choosing him on the court. He will definitely play an outstanding career with the Hornets in New Orleans, but when he arrived off the court, he looked confused because He was told by his agent that he was traded to the Clippers, yes, last year's runner-up.

As a No. [-] pick, he never thought that he would go to the Clippers team. Their picks were ranked at the bottom of the league. Going to a team, although he is not sure that he will become the No. [-] pick, falling out of the top five and falling out of the lottery is something he has never thought about.

As for going to a strong team, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are obvious. The Clippers team is definitely a championship-level team. Joining the Clippers is likely to become a team in his first year Championship, this honor is what every NBA player strives for.But the disadvantages are also obvious, and Blake Griffin is a lesson from the past.

Anson and Chris Paul are basically the Clippers' absolute control of the ball. They are the most efficient perimeter players in the league. Therefore, let alone the No. [-] pick like Anthony Davis, even the current league The insiders from the previous few have joined their team, and they are also dogs.

"Why did the Hornets choose to trade me? Didn't they look up to me at first?" Anthony Davis was a little puzzled in his heart. He felt that his future was bright, and he had the ability to lead the Hornets further.

"It's very simple, Anthony, the Clippers gave a price that the Hornets couldn't refuse!" Got the wasp.

Blake Griffin plus Randy Foye plus this year's first-round pick, for Anthony Davis plus Xavier Henry, this price has to be said to be a price that the Hornets cannot refuse.

Although Blake Griffin had a locker room crisis with the Clippers in this year's finals, and even let the Clippers put him off the court and not let him play, the Clippers are not much worse than the Heat, which makes His trade value has plummeted, but anyway, he was also the No. 2009 pick in [-] and is known as one of the most talented No. [-] picks after LeBron James. Oden the Great who disappeared in .

In the two years of the Clippers, he has nearly reached the super data of 20+10. If there are no stronger Anson and Chris Paul in the team, it can be predicted that his data will only be better, although the playoffs He played a bit poorly, but he is still on a rookie contract. With such a strong talent, no matter how you look at it, he will improve in the future.There is no doubt that he is definitely one of the top picks.

It is definitely not a loss to exchange a No. [-] pick for a No. [-] pick, not to mention that the other party gave you a first-round pick, and you can get another wave of treasures. Randy Foye is obviously better than Xavier Henry is an even better player, and he is cheap and good. He may not have enough room to play in the Clippers, but he should be another good guy in the Hornets.

When Anthony Davis knew that the Clippers had paid such a high price to exchange him, he was also very surprised. What kind of situation is this? He is already so popular?The Clippers obviously traded Blake Griffin and plus immediate combat power and a first-round pick. Is he worth so much?
Because when he entered the NBA and signed an agent, he also learned about the pursuit of different players by each team. For a team like the Hornets, there is no need to think about it. That is talent, and nothing else is important.

But for a team like the Clippers that requires a championship, it is completely different. What they want is immediate combat power, and what they want is immediate combat power that can help the team win the championship immediately. The Thunder, like exchanging Jeff Green for Kendrick Perkins, is an exchange of talent and immediate combat power. After this exchange, the Thunder also successfully reached the Western Conference Finals.

So although Anthony Davis has a strong confidence in himself, he does not feel that his immediate combat power will definitely be stronger than Blake Griffin. He also has a deep worry Milicic, the No. 03 pick of the Platinum Generation in [-], is his current state.
