Basket under the front

Chapter 30 Depressed Angie

The draft of 06-07 is like a gorgeous concert. After a short period of brilliantness, everything is calm.

All 60 rookies have been finalized. At the mixed draft scene, there are also several happy and several sad families.

The selected rookie is thinking about his position in the team. In college, they can say that they are the best, but when it comes to the NBA, the rookie is not a main dish.

After all, not everyone is LeBron James. Few teams will build a team around rookies, unless you are the little emperor or you are the next Duncan.

As for the teams that selected these rookies, they are also hesitant, because no one knows the success or failure of gambling.

After the selected rookies are settled, they can finally go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers.

In addition to a lot of dollars, there is also the hellish cruel competition in the NBA.

The current choice does not mean that they have finalized the team. There are many behind-the-scenes deals, rookies, and sometimes they are also bargaining chips.

In the NBA, everyone is a commodity, whether it is a coach or a player.

The draft is just an aperitif before the start of the new NBA season. From this day on, the NBA drama of the new season also kicked off.

The draft is a prelude to many trades in the summer. This is the case in the NBA world. If you don't toss around every summer, it's not the NBA.

Many teams are like this, born in peace and die in tossing.

No team will be calm in the summer, and there will always be a little movement.

Of course, teams like the New York Knicks, which change more than half of the lineup, are not without.

After all, in the NBA, there are often brain-damaged bosses and team managers in this strange place.

Anyway, in the transfer transaction, there are always people who take advantage of it, and there are always people who have become tragedies.

In addition to competing for vision, sometimes you have to compete for character.

And the NBA team managers basically have no character.

Occasionally, the character breaks out once, and it is estimated that they will be able to show off for several years.

However, before the large transaction set emerged, the redistribution of rookies had been staged in advance.

This is a small year of the draft, which is the evaluation of many industry insiders on this draft.

There is no big man who is too good, and there are not many eye-catching defenders.

After the NBA's top talent fell into the hands of Yao Ming once, this time it also gave Europeans a taste, and Bagnani from Italy became the person who attracted a lot of attention.

The first Italian player to land in the NBA is also the first European draft pick.

It's just that such news did not cause too much waves. Maybe not many people really pay attention to this big white man except for the Raptors who chose him.

There are even a lot of people waiting to see the Raptors jokes. Will the Italian who doesn't look strong be the next Nowitzki? Ghosts know.

In fact, there was a rumor before the draft began. For Stein's global promotion plan, the NBA always needs to find some exciting gimmicks.

Yao Ming's top show has benefited Houston and the NBA. Now Stein just wants to replicate such a success in Europe.

But in the eyes of many senior ball commentators and reporters, the Italian is soft, just like the Italian army in World War II.

"Let a soft egg become the top player in the NBA. Sooner or later, Stein will understand that the Italian will not give him a long face, but will only slap him fiercely with a bleak performance."

The next day, the newspaper's part about the draft news vaguely pointed out that Stein's manipulation of the draft was endless, but the result could not be changed.

Anyway, Stein will not care about such public opinion. Besides, he has not been fanned. I guess he has been used to it for a long time.

Randy Foyer, who is in seventh place in the first round, is already a good choice. At least this boy's performance in the NCAA is really eye-catching.

If the Timberwolves hadn't chosen Brandon Roy earlier, maybe Angie would have considered the guy who always looked slow.

But a day after the draft, Angie slapped the table and scolded her mother, and it was her old buddy McHale.

"That stupid fool whose head is broken!" The reason that can make Angie so helpless is actually very simple, because the deal between the Trail Blazers and the Celtics is about to go away.

But the Timberwolves came over and exchanged Roy for Foye. When they saw that the deal was concluded, Angie and Rivers looked stunned.

What the heer! McHale, if you want Foyer, you won't choose by yourself!?

Take off your pants and fart. Don't you think it's a little difficult to do this?

However, Angie didn't have time to take care of other people's business. There was not much time left for the Celtics to adjust the lineup. The deal finalized on the day of the draft gave him a sigh of relief.

Although Foye is talented, there are Tony Allen and West in his position. Even if it is exchanged, it is just a spare tire.

This little guy's shot is also a little too much in the NCAA, and more often he needs to hold the ball to attack.

But with Pierce here, it is estimated that it will not be the boy's turn to break into the inside. Now he can only send out a bargaining chip.

This deal with the Trail Blazers finally made the Celtics throw away a big burden, Reeve LaFlenz, the wounded and almost disabled white center.

LaFrentz's big contract of nearly 10 million has always been a big stone on Angie's chest.

At the beginning, I didn't think I was crazy to leave such a disabled person in the team. If it hadn't been for such a big burden in the team, it might have begun to be rebuilt long ago.

When this guy is not injured, his performance is absolutely first-class, but he has two knees and two shoulders. Anyway, almost all the places that can be injured are injured. He is basically half disabled.

And his contract was still tens of millions at the beginning, which was the most melancholy problem for Angie.

Now it's all right. The Trail Blazers came up to find trouble for themselves. Angie was so happy to be a smooth person and let the Trail Blazers bear this big and rotten contract.

As for whether they lay off LaFrenz or stay at home as a baby, Angie at least doesn't have to worry.

Although the returned Latlief is not a good guy, it's better than La Frenc's big contract of tens of millions, at least he can't use 10 million! Angie is really painful.

As for Telfir, who came with Ratliff, this has basically been defaulted by Angie and can be directly thrown into the NBDL development alliance.

How to toss between the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers is no longer something Angie needs to care about.

After Angie packed Foyer out, he had to be busy hooking up with the Suns.

With a part of the cash and the pick for the first round of next year, Angie exchanged such conditions for Brian Grant and the newly selected rookie Rajan Rondo from the Suns.

The guy who chose Grant with braids was completely to make room for salary. Angie didn't need to think about it at all when she cut him off.

And Rajan Ron Rondo is a supplement to the Celtics' weak guard line. Anyway, Angie has made up his mind that if this boy can't, he will just sit on the cold bench.

Anyway, there are also Tony Allen and West, who is a little mentally crazy from time to time, in the team. Most of the time, they are the main force. Little guys like Rdo, and now the main task is to learn.

However, what has made Angie complain about is the team's second draft signing. They had already locked in Craig Smith, a fourth-year student from Boston University, a few months ago.

Although the data of that guy is not eye-catching in the NCAA, he can play small forwards and power forwards. After four years of training in college, his basic skills and tactical awareness are excellent.

Originally, this was the target that Rivers and Angie had been aiming at for a long time, but Chen Feng's birth directly cut off the connection between Smith and the Celtics.

According to Auerbach, "Instead of a mediocre guy with no characteristics, it's better to choose a wild boy with the same income and risk. At least that wild boy is very good for me."

The bishop's words completely broke the fate between Smith and the Celtics.

However, Angie really calmed down and didn't choose Chen Feng until the 17th place in the second round.

But his choice still surprised many team managers who didn't know Chen Feng at all.

"Who is that boy? Why did Boston choose him?" This is the question of most people.

Especially after they looked through Chen Feng's resume, such doubts became deeper.

No high school experience? No college experience? So where did this boy play basketball? Mars?

Chen Feng didn't jump out of the stone seam. He also tried other teams at the beginning, so someone will always know about his identity.

But after his basketball experience was exposed, the team managers had begun to stare at Angie with the expression of the dead.

"It's over. Angie's guy is completely crazy. I guess the news that Pierce wants to trade him up has stimulated him. He will actually choose a wild boy who has only played on the street. I promise that there will be countless voices in Boston newspapers asking him to get out of here tomorrow morning as a team manager."

Facts have proved that these people's estimates are very accurate. In the Boston Globe's report on the basketball team draft the next day, they almost directly scolded Angie as an idiot.

"Stupid decision, meaningless gambling, Angie is simply abusing his rights. If the boss of the team is not crazy, he should fire this irresponsible manager immediately."

Even two days after the draft, the supporters of the Celtics are cursing Angie to death.

And Auerbach, the planner behind the scenes, did not intend to show up at this time. According to his words, the boy was chosen to make a surprise. If he comes forward, others may be alert.

After all, the bishop is famous. Now that this aggrieved situation can only be carried by Angie herself.

When Angie looked at his new car sprayed with idiot and stupid slogans, he could only grit his teeth and swear, "Kid, you'd better get the best value for money, or you'll die!"

But what the perpetrator now feels is not Angie's fierce resentment. Chen Feng is also gritting his teeth and scolding with his contract.

"Nima! Shouldn't all NBA salaries be paid after tax? Why does this mother still have an athlete tax to pay? I only earn more than 700,000 yuan a year! You still want to exploit! I'll do it!"

(The above classification has been blocked, comrades!!! Awesome, please click, red ticket, collect! The Pacers are really tragic. They were killed by Wade in the last 0.1 seconds...)
