Chapter 51 The Draft Is Coming, The Time To Witness History Has Arrived
Chapter 51 The draft is coming, and it’s time to witness history!
With the return of the king of the Chicago Bulls, the 1995-1996 NBA season came to an end.
The next thing everyone has to face is the signings and planning for the new season.
As a champion, the Chicago Bulls can go wild and celebrate wildly.
Because they are the most successful team this season, they are the champions!
But for other players, especially those teams that are still struggling in the playoffs, it is a critical period of rise.
How to arrange the layout in the offseason and how to get the players you want through trade has become the most concerned thing for everyone.
The luckiest team this year is the Philadelphia 76ers!
They got the No. 1 pick and had the capital to be the first to pick people in the draft.
at the same time.
Also has the capital to negotiate with other teams!
The Celtics, where the red shirt leader is located, got the No. 6 pick, which is very embarrassing for the Celtics.
Their target from the beginning was Lin Yan, or Allen Iverson.
But wanting to get two people in this position is almost a fantasy.
But the Cardinals are obviously not reconciled, eager to persuade the Philadelphia 76ers to complete the transaction through operation!
but.
While communicating with Philadelphia, their targets were also placed on the Vancouver Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors, the second and third picks!
The Philadelphia 76ers declared that what they lacked the most was a guard, especially a point guard.
This is very much in line with the goals of the Cardinals.
In this case, Auerbach had to make a choice.
Between Lin Yan and Iverson, he must choose one to give to the 76ers.
after careful consideration.
The Celtics negotiated with the Philadelphia 76ers that they wanted the Philadelphia 76ers to select Allen Iverson.
At that time, the Celtics are willing to use the player they picked with the No. 6 pick and any current Celtics player as a bargaining chip to trade with the Philadelphia 76ers.
As long as Philadelphia is willing to send Iverson!
Subsequently.
The Celtics negotiated with the Toronto Raptors with the second overall pick and the Vancouver Grizzlies with the third overall pick.
The Raptors and Grizzlies are new teams with the simple goal of establishing a firm foothold in the league.
As for competing for the championship or reaching the playoffs, it is not something they will consider in a short period of time.
Based on this.
In this era of insiders winning the world, they set their sights on insiders.
At that time, the choice will most likely be an inside player.
Auerbach just caught the psychology of the Raptors and the Grizzlies and showed the sincerity of the Celtics to the two teams.
They hope the Raptors or Grizzlies have a team that picks Lin Yan in the top three.
The Bucks, ranked fourth, and the Timberwolves, ranked fifth, also target guards.
In this case, the Celtics are at No. 6 and can at least guarantee to get a high-quality insider.
By the time.
The Celtics are willing to use the available inside players, with any player in the current lineup of the Celtics, and trade Lin Yan!
This trade, no matter who the Raptors and Grizzlies do, will get a star player for nothing without disrupting the team’s construction.
have to say.
The red-clothed sect master’s three birds with one stone was amazing.
What he most desires is Lin Yan, but he deliberately shows that he is more optimistic about Iverson in front of the 76ers.
As a result, the 76ers will definitely increase the emphasis on Iverson.
As such.
Lin Yan’s draft pick will be extended.
The Grizzlies and the Raptors are both eager for inside players.
In addition, the follow-up Bucks and Timberwolves have little demand for the inside line. Naturally, the Cardinals have the opportunity to operate!
but.
Man proposes, God disposes!
The plan is there, as for whether it can be fulfilled in the end, it depends on the draft!
It’s not just the Celtics who want something in this draft.
The Los Angeles Lakers, who are also traditional giants, also hope to use this draft to get the cornerstone of reconstruction.
Compared with the green shirt army, the operation of the purple and gold army is more difficult.
After all, the draft they have this year has fallen out of the lottery, and only the 24th pick in the first round.
It is simply unrealistic to want to get the desired player in this lottery.
Based on this situation.
There is only one choice they can make.
It’s the deal!
Either trade up the draft picks, or let the team with the pick choose the player they want to trade!
Jerry West put a lot of thought into this.
Those who can survive in the NBA are all old fritters.
It is hard to imagine how difficult it is to take advantage of them.
Their primary target is also the 76ers with the No. 1 pick!
West hopes the 76ers can take Allen Iverson in the first round.
The Lakers were then willing to trade any two players plus their own draft picks.
When there is not enough draft chips, the Logo man can only trade on the existing basis.
but.
Like the Cardinals, he never thought the Philadelphia 76ers would agree.
His main target is also the follow-up Raptors and Grizzlies.
These two teams are both teams that have just joined the league.
In terms of experience, in terms of influence, there is no way to compare with the old and powerful teams such as the Lakers and Celtics.
Choose to discuss with them, to put it bluntly, just pick up soft persimmons!
Logo men are also targeting their needs for an insider.
But what he gave was Lakers star center Divac.
In the words of Jerry West.
To develop a player, the risk is still very large.
Whether it’s the Raptors or the Grizzlies, they’re very hungry for the inside.
If they choose a rookie insider who has no injuries and can cash in on talent, then it is naturally the best result.
But if there is an injury and the talent is not fulfilled, it is equivalent to directly wasting a draft opportunity.
Instead of doing this kind of unsure thing, it is better to use the center that the Lakers have developed.
In the past season, Divac averaged 16 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.2 blocks per game.
The performance is very bright.
Such an all-star player, and a rookie who is uncertain about his future potential, how to choose, I believe they can have the answer!
and.
Jerry West also gave his strings attached.
The Lakers’ draft pick of the year, and the Lakers’ draft pick in 1998!
What these two teams want is the future, and the draft right means the future!
The logo man is also discussing with the two teams according to his own plan, and his ultimate goal is also Lin Yan!
Except for two people.
Managers of other teams are also looking for opportunities.
Try to get the player you want in the draft.
This time, almost everyone’s first target is Lin Yan.
But everyone was very sneaky around the Philadelphia 76ers.
After all, what they lack most now is a point guard!
Once they choose Lin Yan, many teams’ plans will be in vain!
In the president’s office of the New York Knicks, Patrick Ewing went directly to team owner James Dolan.
“If you want New York to win the championship, trade Lin!”
………………
Transactions and discussions before the draft are uncertain after all.
Before the draft happened, everything was variable.
Who will be the champion, and which team will Lin Yan join? Everything will be answered on the day of the draft!
On June 28, US time, the NBA draft of the 1996-1997 season arrived as scheduled.
The time to witness history is here!
