NBA: Starting with the Devil’s Eyes

Jack McCloskey took the phone and asked:

"Hello, Reed, what's the matter?"

Auerbach said: "I want to trade with you. "

"Is it a second-round pick? "

Jack McCloskey said.

"It's not a second-round pick, if it's a second-round pick, it won't be me talking to you. "

Well, although Auerbach said this somewhat arrogantly.

But Jack McCloskey knew that it was.

As the current Celtics' emperor-like figure, if it was only a second-round pick, it would have been Auerbach's deputy who called him.

Now, Auerbach has called herself, and there must be something very important.

"We need that champion sign in your hand!"

Auerbach's words were firm.

"Watts?"

After hearing Auerbach's words, Jack McCloskey was directly stunned.

"Reed, you know, you're only the 21st pick this year. "

"What chips can you get for this champion?"

"Is Reggie Lewis enough?" said Auerbach, calmly.

“WTF？？"

After hearing Auerbach's chips, Jack McCloskey on the phone was directly stunned.

Reggie Lewis?

That's the next hope for the Celtics' rise!

This season, Reggie Lewis averaged 20.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.3 steals per game.

An absolute all-round striker.

This year's All-Star, Reggie Lewis, was also successfully selected.

And this year's Lewis is only 25 years old, which is definitely an opportunity for the Celtics to rise again.

As a result, Alba is going to take Lewis out and sell it directly?

"If it doesn't work out yet, Robert Parish, McHale. You can also pick between the two of them. "

"I don't want to ask for their words. "

"I can find other teams, teams that are in the top 10 or even the top 5. I can get these teams into a three-way deal. Give them Robert Parish or McHale. "

"Maybe at the end of the day you can get Reggie Lewis and a top-10 draft pick and a first-round pick for years to come. "

"How?"

After hearing Auerbach's offer to him, Jack McCloskey was a little dizzy.

Damn, this special Celtic is crazy, isn't it?

Such a crazy offer was made??

On the other side, the Celtic staff also looked at Auerbach with the eyes of a madman.

Auerbach never told them about it.

They only found out about it when Auerbach called just now.

And with what they knew about Auerbach, the reason why he dared to do this was definitely premeditated.

Auerbach's goal this year is to sign for the top prize!

Crazy, really crazy.

Reggie Lewis is going to be sent out by the cardinal!

Jack McCloskey is calculating.

Reggie Lewis looked at the stats and was indeed better than Sam Perkins.

As the core of the Timberwolves, it is also absolutely qualified.

It seems that the chips of the Celtics and the Lakers are only different in this year's draft.

Auerbach is likely to be able to trade Robert Parrish or McHale for the fourth and fifth picks.

But the Lakers could come up with the second pick.

At this time, someone reminded Jack McClosky.

"Don't forget one thing, sir. "

"Reggie Lewis, there seems to be something wrong with his heart. "

After hearing this man's reminder, Jack McCloskey immediately woke up.

That's true, don't look at the all-round Reggie Lewis data.

But there was something wrong with his heart.

Basketball is a high-intensity sport, although Reggie Lewis played 82 games at full duty this past season.

But what if he comes to the Timberwolves and can't play because of heart problems?

Moreover, the Timberwolves now have a lot of talent at the small forward position.

Reggie Lewis doesn't necessarily need to be at risk for heart disease.

On the contrary, Sam Perkins of the Lakers is in good health and has very good physical fitness.

With an average of 16+8 strength per game, he is definitely a qualified power forward.

Moreover, the fourth and fifth picks that Auerbach gave them seemed to be unable to pick players like Leitner and O'Neal.

In this comparison, Aubach shouted fiercely.

Actually, it's really kind of a trick on him.

He immediately rejected Auerbach's request for a trade.

"I'm sorry, Reed, but the chips you made were unbelievable. "

"I was afraid that you would cheat me, so I chose to refuse the transaction. "

Auerbach on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded when he heard Jack McCloskey's reason for refusing to trade.

I'm Nima, because the chips I opened are too big, and you're afraid of being caught.

So you turned down the deal???

Looking at the microphone with a blind voice, Auerbach shook his head helplessly.

Of course, he wouldn't believe Jack McCloskey's words.

He looked at the dazed staff again and smiled, "It's just a boring attempt." "

"I didn't expect Jack McCloskey's kid to take the bait, he's smart..."

At this time, in the small green house, Lu Yu came to O'Neill's side and chatted with O'Neill.

"Shaq, how did you know I got the NCAA?"

O'neill:......

Are you okay?

Seeing O'Neill's rolled eyes, Lu Yu laughed and said, "Just kidding, kidding." "

At this time, O'Neill's heart was not very comfortable.

He and Lu Yu still have a lot of fights.

He always wanted to defeat Lu Yu.

But until now, he has not defeated Lu Yu even once.

And as a loser, he watched Lu Yu win the final championship.

"Hell, why didn't Lightner come to the draft? Why did I have to endure his taunts alone?"

O'Neill thought to himself.

Immediately after, his eyes became firm again.

"After entering the NBA, you have to lose once in the morning!"

At this time, David Stern also walked out.

With everyone watching, Stern began to give a speech.

However, there was little energy left to listen to Stern.

Because everyone wants to know what pick they will be selected.

"Lao Zhang, what pick did you say Lu Yu was selected?"

At this time, Xu Jicheng asked beside Zhang Weiping.

During this time, the good cooperation between [Lu Yu Sports] and CCTV made the five sets decide to continue to send reporters to track and report on Lu Yu's NBA career.

After all, Lu Yu is the first player to land in the NBA in the history of the Celestial Empire.

It's still very meaningful.

Zhang Weiping pondered for a while and said: "At least the top three! I don't think I'll be too surprised by the champion show." "

"During this time, Lu Yu's trial effect was very good. "

"We played really well on the offensive end and on the defensive end. "

"A lot of teams want to pick him. "

......

At this time, the Lakers draft war room.

West looked at the list in his hand, his head full of question marks.

I'm Nima, you timberwolves have a bag in their brains, right?

Because the Timberwolves are on the list, don't Sam Perkins!

Instead, he went to Byron Scott, as well as Sedrales Sreit.

This is the Lakers' starting point guard and starting point guard this season. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Sedales Ritter averaged 15 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals per game.

Byron Scott averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

Huwest called directly to find Jack McCloskey.

"What's going on with buddy, why is it different from what we just said?"

"Well, I think Sam Perkins' salary is a bit expensive, and we have a decent forward line. "

"So I think these two talents are the best fit for our Timberwolves. "

"You wouldn't disagree, would you?"

"No, no, no, of course I agreed. West said hurriedly.

For him, the only thing the team can't move is Worthy.

Because James Worthy's position with the Lakers is solid.

After Maggie retired, James Worthy became the totemic figure of the Lakers.

If you trade him, it will be very detrimental to the next work.

Sedales Slater only came to the Lakers this season, and there was no problem.

Although Byron Scott has been with the Lakers since 1983 and has won 3 championships with the team, he also belongs to the old Lakers.

But in terms of status, he is not as good as James Worthy, and he is also a little emotional about the team's mess.

So grit your teeth, you can also send it away.

After hearing Jerry West's words, the corners of Jack McCloskey's mouth curled.

I'm such a genius!

Slater + Cotter's salary is only 1.7 million in total!

And Perkins' salary alone is 2.7 million!

I saved a million!

A Sam Perkins, the stats are 16+8.

And I changed two people, one averaged 15 points, 7 assists and 2 steals per game, and the other averaged 15+1.3 steals per game.

In this way, it is 30 points, 7 assists and 3.3 steals!

saved 1 million, and in exchange for two people who averaged 15 points per game, this is a good deal.

Jack McCloskey feels like heifer is absolutely flying to the sky this time!

After hanging up the phone, he shouted, "This summer, it's the summer of the Timberwolves!!"

"It's definitely an epic draft!"

West hung up the phone and looked at the list again.

Well?

Something is still wrong.

How did the Timberwolves send Luke Longley out?

This is the player the Timberwolves drafted with the seventh pick in the first round last year.

It was just sent out...

And, West noticed one more thing.

When the Timberwolves joined the league in 1990, they selected Filton Spencer with the sixth pick.

A center.

In 1991, the Timberwolves used the seventh pick to select Luke Longley.

But because of Spencer's presence, Longley didn't play well in his first season with the Timberwolves.

averaged 4.3 points and 3.9 rebounds per game, and the shooting rate was only 45%, which was called a soft egg by the media.

The Timberwolves boss felt that the previous general manager's results were really not good, so he directly replaced him.

And then it's now Jack McCloskey who will preside over the draft.

Jack McCloskey immediately planned to send Luke Longlee away.

Then, in this year's 1992 draft, Leitner was going to be selected.

There's nothing wrong with that, it's a big year for a centre-forward.

The three centers of Leitner, O'Neal and Mourning all played very well in college.

After Longley left, he also happened to make room for Lightner.

However, the selection of three centers in a row for three years is really a bit explosive...

This operation is comparable to that of 2009, when the Timberwolves selected three point guards with three picks.

Perfect missed Stephen Curry, DeRozan, Ju Holiday

"Luke Longley..."

Looking at the name, West pondered for a moment and felt that he should not stay.

In the new season, the team will definitely play a fast-paced offensive game.

Luke Longley weighs too much, can't run fast and can't jump high, and is a complete drag on the Lakers' side.

Moreover, the team also has a white center Divac.

"Pull one more team! Let's organize a three-way deal!"

"Sam Perkins has to be sent away, and if he doesn't, there's definitely something wrong with the locker room. "

While Stern was still on the phone, Jerry West immediately began asking teams if they wanted to make a trade.

"Hey, Elgin. "

With that in mind, West dialed his good brother, good teammate, and Al Gin Baylor, who was the president of the Clippers at the time.

"Jerry, what's wrong?"

Baylor asked.

"That's right, congratulations on making the playoffs!"

"You guys played so well this season, and even played to a tie-break with the Jazz, a team in the Western Conference finals!"

Hearing West say this, Baylor also said regretfully: "Yes, it's a pity, if we can pass the Jazz, we may be the team that reaches the Western Conference Finals." "

"I believe we can beat the Trail Blazers and make it to the Finals to play the Bulls!"

"I think you're losing by one point," West said. "

"Which point?"

"Center, your rebounds were stolen by Karl Malone, and if you have the right center to protect your rebounds, you can beat the Jazz!"

"Oh, do you want to trade your center?" asked Baylor.

"Where do we have a great center in the team? But I've put together a three-way deal to get Luke Longley, would you like to take over Luke Longley?"

"He's watered—" said Baylor after hearing Longley's name.

"Where's the water? He's just lacking playing time!"

"He's the seventh pick! Trust me, he's definitely a good fit for the Clippers!"

Jerry West said, "I believe in your ability, you can definitely train Longley!"

"Hmm... What do you want from the Clippers?"

"I don't want your people, I want your draft pick. I'll take Longley, who is the seventh pick, for your 16th pick, and you won't lose!"

......

On the field, David Stern's speech finally ended.

"Next, it's up to the Minnesota Timberwolves to make their choice," he said. "

In just a minute, the Timberwolves submitted their draft results.

"Congratulations to the Timberwolves, they chose Lu Yu with the first pick!"

After Lu Yu heard it, he glanced at Jeff Austin beside him.

Austin answered a phone call at this time and said to Lu Yu: "Don't worry, everything is under control!"

"There will be deals. "

Lu Yu nodded, first got up and hugged a few friends around him, intending to delay the time factory.

It's a pity that there was a little problem with the visa. His parents weren't able to come to the draft.

Sure enough, after a delay of about a minute, the deal came out.

"The Timberwolves, Lakers, and Clippers made a three-way deal!"

Three-way deals?

Good guys.,This year's draft is quite chaotic.。。
