Chapter 57
At this moment, the Timberwolves backstage was already busy.
Timberwolves General Manager Scott Layden has become a hot commodity.
Staff from all teams are trying their best to squeeze into their room.
And this guy just raised the price!
He would not even look at any application that was not twice the market price.
Not long after, the Knicks sent in a trade request.
The Knicks offered the No. 4 pick and JR Smith.
Scott Layden threw it aside.
"Why give me JR Smith?"
"What's the use of that crazy guy? Untying someone's shoelaces? I still have Andrew Wiggins on my team."
""You want to trade my Su Pan for just the No. 4 pick and JR? You're dreaming."
After a while, the Knicks noticed that the Timberwolves were not making any moves.
James Dolan also sent a text message.
【James Dolan: If you don't like JR Smith, you can replace him with Iman Shumpert.
Scott Layden glanced at him and replied directly,"Melo plus the fourth pick."
Seeing this reply, Knicks general manager James Dolan almost cursed.
You are asking for a higher price, you bastard!!
……
At this time, the Thunder were also on the phone with the Timberwolves.
The Thunder had just received the call and had not yet made their offer, when Scott Layden on the phone suddenly said something that confused the Thunder.
"Want a Su Pan?"
"Can!"
"He must find someone who can match his talent."
"I think KD is good."
"What do you think?"
Thunder General Manager Presti was stunned.
When Scott Layden readily agreed to the deal, he thought the deal was going to be done. But when he asked for KD in the second half of the sentence, Presti was stunned.
MVP for a rookie, you are so bold!
And Scott Layden seemed to know that what he asked for was a bit too much, so he gave a new price.
"KD is the core, you will definitely not give up easily"
"How about this, I'll give you a quote"
"Russell Westbrook + Steven Adams!"
"What do you think?!"
If it weren't for the morality as a human being suppressing Presti, he would have wanted to explode with Scott Layden right now.
Is this a price that a human can ask?
Presti certainly won't do it.
If you take Adams and some other players to exchange for Su Pan, he is willing.
But Dewey and Dewey are the foundation of the Thunder.
Two MVP-level players in exchange for a rookie who hasn't played yet?!
And you want to add a card master Adams.
Who is crazy!
At this time, one offer after another is constantly being sent to Scott Layden Sterling.
……
Meanwhile, the Lakers were in the lounge prepared by the officials.
General Manager Mitch Kupchak, Deputy General Manager Pelinka, Player Development Officer Magic Johnson, Lakers Head Coach Byron Scott, and Lakers boss Kobe Bryant.
Everyone gathered around the table, counting all the chips in their current team's hands.
It was no surprise that Su Pan's deal was second only to the Lakers' trade of O'Neal in recent years.
Kobe stood by the table, looking at everyone.
"Now I think it's time to make a move."
Mitch Kupchak took a deep breath and looked a little uneasy.
"I don't think they will refuse!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
But Kupchak, facing such a high-level deal, just wrote a piece of paper.
There was only one sentence on it.
【Our bottom line is, except for Kobe, anyone can】
On the other hand, after Scott Layden gave each team his own asking price, many teams fell silent.
Su Pan is indeed a rare opportunity, but Scott Layden's sky-high asking price is enough to directly destroy a team.
Faced with such an important matter, everyone chose to think about it again.
At this time, when he received the offer from the Lakers, he showed a little surprise.
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"What does this guy Mickey mean?!"
Many Timberwolves staff members gasped when they saw the offer from the Lakers.
The Lakers made several different offers.
Lin Shuhao + Julius Randle + Roy Hibbert.
The second pick + Carlos Boozer + Hibbert.
Jordan Clarkson + Jordan Hill + Boozer + Hibbert
……
……
Every offer was full of sincerity, far exceeding the value given by other teams.
In this deal.
There are players who are at their peak, such as Roy Hibbert, Carlos Boozer, and Lin Shuhao who are ready to fight.
There are also the young No. 2 picks, Randle, and Clarkson who have bright futures.
Even if they are taken out individually, they can be exchanged for a lot of valuable picks in the league.
Scott Layden instantly understood what the Lakers meant.
This clearly shows that everyone except Kobe can be traded!
And what the Timberwolves lack most now is inside players.
So every offer has two inside players.
It seems that the Lakers have grasped the Timberwolves' desires.
So Scott Layden wrote a list to his assistant.
"Tell them! I want this lineup……"
The Lakers' offer has aroused Scott Layden's restless mind.
At the draft, the draft was still going on.
The Lakers, who held the second pick, waited a long time to make their selection.
Countless fans focused their attention on the Los Angeles Lakers.
They didn't make a decision until the 5-minute selection time was almost up.
When Adam Xiaohua received the envelope from the staff, he also smiled and reported to the fans.
���In the 2015 draft, the Los Angeles Lakers used the No. 2 pick to select D'Angelo Russell, a guard from Ohio State University!
Many media commentators smiled knowingly.
As expected, the Lakers chose Russell.
And Russell in the audience was quite excited.
Because he was about to go to Los Angeles to play!
"Los Angeles, Los Angeles!!"
Russell came to Su Fan's side, quite proud:"I'm going to Los Angeles to play basketball, brother!"
"When I go to Minnesota, remember to take me to experience your ice and snow world. After all, we only have nightclubs, big shopping malls, and Hollywood in Los Angeles. There really is nothing like that, hahahahahaha."
Su Pan rolled his eyes at Russell and said,"I'll give you a 58-point difference package, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
……
The draft continued.
With the third pick, the Philadelphia 76ers decisively selected Towns.
When Su Pan saw this, he began to look forward to what the 76ers would be like in the future.
The butterfly effect finally happened.
According to Towns' level, his ability to lead a team is very poor, even comparable to Irving. The 76ers will definitely not rise because of his arrival.
The results are estimated to be at the bottom of the league. If the 76ers select the great Embiid in the future.
At that time, Embiid + Towns, this inside line is really interesting...
In the end, with Brandon Dawson at the 60th pick being selected by the Pelicans.
This draft ended successfully!
All the rookies put on their draft hats.
Although some players are not very satisfied with their impressions of the draft, they are still full of excitement and excitement for the upcoming NBA journey.
I remember when everyone was ready to go on stage for a group photo.
A staff member came to the front of the stage with an envelope
"Mr. President, a transaction has taken place!"
Adam Xiaohua, who was about to leave the stage, was slightly startled when he heard the report from the staff around him.
Soon, he opened the envelope, and after seeing the contents, Xiaohua's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Just now!"
"The first trade of the year took place in this draft"
"The two parties in the transaction are the Timberwolves who hold the No. 1 pick and the Lakers who hold the No. 2 pick!"
As soon as the words fell.
In an instant!
Russell, who was laughing at Su Pan going to Minnesota, was stunned.
Others around him also looked at Russell, who was just showing off his Lakers college hat to everyone, with strange eyes.
Russell looked at Adam Xiaohua on the stage with a dull look.
No way!
I just finished pretending to be cool and I'm going to Minnesota, right?
Could it be that I am the clown?!
…………
I'd like to ask for your reward, it's free and I can generate electricity for love. Big Cat bows to you all, thank you!
