"James Harden", David Stern finally called out the popular No. 1.9 player from the University of Southern California. The Houston Rockets made a choice that was beyond the expectations of most teams. In the end, Daryl Moore Lei's professional opinion prevailed, and the team chose this player who is only [-] meters tall. Although this height is short for a shooting guard and tall for a point guard, his familiarity with his grades and his steady style of play are of great importance to him. It is particularly important for the Houston Rockets, which lack a team leader.

Then the Memphis Grizzlies took Blake Griffin very naturally, the Sacramento Kings at No. They chose Stephen Curry, a handsome little guard, and then the Minnesota Timberwolves chose Ricky Rubio, an international basketball genius.

This is a strange thing to say, why are the same teams that did not enter the playoffs, and why the Minnesota Timberwolves have so many high picks? It is because they made a lot of trades before the draft. of.

This No. [-] pick is their own pick, but the No. [-] pick in front of them was traded from the Washington Wizards for Randy Foyega McMiller and Oreixie Pecherov, Etan Thomas and other three players.

At the same time, they also have first-round draft picks from Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Utah Jazz and other teams. I don't know if the net fishing method will be successful. [

Before the draft, the league made many heavyweight transactions, among which the San Antonio Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers made the biggest moves.

After losing Stephen for two seasons, the San Antonio Spurs finally felt the weakness in this position and the decline in the flexibility of the lineup. Coupled with a large group of veterans eager to clean up the team, they uncharacteristically made a big deal, However, although the league has no shortage of forwards and guards, there are not many top players. Finally, a deal was reached with the Milwaukee Bucks, and three players including Bruce Bowen and Fabricio Oberto were exchanged. Chad Jefferson, last year the Bucks just traded him with Yijianlian, which they had high hopes for, and unexpectedly traded him out after one season.

Although Richard Jefferson is not the top swingman in the league, he also has the strength of an All-Star. Although his status has declined due to injuries in the past two years, Popovich still hopes to use him to fight. Can he be used to replace part of Stephen's original role, which also means that Popovich finally admitted that losing Stephen has a huge impact on the Spurs, otherwise he would not sign players to make up for him.

Unlike the general swingman who prefers offense to defense, Richard Jefferson is not only talented in offense, but also very good in defense. At the same time, he also has relatively high tactical literacy, which is suitable for the Spurs' tactical style of play.

The Eagles sent Asilao and Clarkston, and traded Jamal Crawford from the Golden State Warriors to enhance their scoring ability off the bench, while the Golden State Warriors lightened the backcourt The bloated lineup has taken another step forward on the road to reconstruction.

Many transactions at this time have such characteristics, that is, among the two parties to the transaction, one side is a team that has entered the playoffs but fell behind halfway. It's a team in rebuilding, they need various expiring contracts or draft picks, so that the two sides can hit it off.

At this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers also followed suit. Due to their failure in the Eastern Conference finals, they realized the weakness of the inside lineup. After defeating them in the inside, the Orlando Magic reached the finals, but were defeated by the stronger inside. The Sonics swept, so they gave up Ben Wallace, who had high hopes, and traded him and Pavlovich from the Phoenix Suns for the aging Shaquille O'Neal. One side is for reconstruction.

The Memphis Grizzlies traded Dakomilicic for Quentin Richardson and some cash from the New York Knicks. While strengthening the outside line, it also exchanged for real money.

Even while the draft is in progress, the general managers of each team are considering which player to choose, and at the same time they are communicating with other team general managers and carrying out various trading plans. Sti is a relatively relaxed one. On the one hand, there is no need to think too much about the draft, and on the other hand, even if it is a transaction, it is a small transaction.

In the last place in the first round, the Seattle SuperSonics selected Omega Casspi, who accidentally fell to this position. This is a tall small forward player, a white guy from Israel, almost the same as Kevin Durant. He is tall and has the same excellent shooting skills. It stands to reason that he and Kevin Durant have some overlapping roles, but the team chooses a substitute, not a starter, and there is no Press among the remaining players. Presti wanted him very much, so he took him down, and Presti knew that if he was allowed to fall to the second round, it would definitely attract other teams to grab him, so taking him can definitely do something. article.

At this time, Presti was having a headache to select that player for the second-round pick. Suddenly, the player affairs department called and said that Channing Frye had received an offer from the Phoenix Suns, although it was only a two-year contract. Of course, this minimum salary is not the basic salary, but 120% of Channing Frye's salary in the last year of his rookie contract.

Although there are [-] days to consider whether to match this contract, but at this time Presti has decided not to keep him, there is no need, it is completely used to fill the team list, basically there is no playing time , Unless it is a large-scale injury, it is entirely possible to use the rookies selected this year, who are younger, have more potential, and save money.

However, through the Channing Frye incident, Presti suddenly had a worry. Generally, players who can win the championship are more likely to be pursued by the team, and the few players who need to renew their contracts here are all It is a restricted free agent, once other teams propose a contract, what should I do if it attracts looting.

Although for players like Coupard and Jarrett Jack, the team can match the offer made by any team without considering the issue of salary space, but in case the offer made by a certain team is too outrageous, the team can The match did not match, because of such worries, Presti didn't have the heart to search for treasures in the second round of the show, and just picked one randomly according to the previous plan and left.

Shortly after returning to the team, the team received an offer contract, the object of the offer was Coupard, the contract was for four years, the starting salary was 800 million US dollars, the total amount of the contract was 500 million US dollars, and the offer was The team is the Houston Rockets. After reading this invitation contract, Presti is absolutely sure that this is a conspiracy by the Rockets. If it is not for their salary space and cannot propose a higher contract, they will definitely do that. Anyway, Cooper For a player like Germany, it is not too outrageous to get a ten million contract, and it is said that the four-year contract is actually a two plus one plus one contract. Even if it is a loss, it is only a loss of [-] million or so, but I If you want to renew your contract with Coupard, you can't take such a contract.

This is 200 million more than the starting salary of the contract that the Supersonics originally planned to provide Coupard, and the entire contract will be at least 1000 million more. It may be taken back, but with the relationship between the two teams, it is impossible to persuade the other party to take it back. Presti knew that the Houston Rockets were making trouble to vent their anger on Yao Ming's trade, but they followed the rules completely. , he also has no way.

If Stephen's contract hadn't entered the third year, Coupard would have become the team's second highest-paid player at once, but even so, the team would spend more than 2000 million a year on the center position, which is also A huge expense, which almost accounts for half of the salary space, but the team has to match it. If it matches his contract in this way, the team is likely to exceed the luxury tax incentive line this season.

Rolling all over the floor begging for various small tickets.
