Chapter 31 Depressed Anji
The 06-07 talent show is like a gorgeous concert. After a brief glory, everything returns to peace.
All sixty rookies have been finalized, and at the mixed draft, there are also some happy and some sad companies.
The selected rookies are thinking about their position in the team. They can be said to be the same in college, but when they arrive at the NBA, the rookies are not considered a main course.
After all, not everyone is LeBron James, and few teams will build teams around rookies unless you are the little emperor, or you are the next Duncan.
As for the teams that chose these rookies, they were also hesitating because no one knew the success or failure of gambling.
After the selected rookies were settled, they could finally go back to their own houses and find their own mothers.
In addition to a large amount of dollars, there is also the cruel competition of NBA like hell.
The current choice does not mean that they have finalized the team. There are many behind-the-scenes trades, rookies, and sometimes they are bargaining chips for trading.
In NBA, anyone is a commodity, whether it is a coach or a player.
The draft is just an aperitif before the start of the NBA new season. From this day on, the NBA drama of the new season will begin.
The draft is the prelude to many summer deals, and this is the case with the NBA world. If you don’t make trouble every summer, it’s not NBA anymore.
Many teams are like this, born in peace and die in trouble.
No team will have a calm summer, and they will have some movement.
Of course, there are teams like the New York Knicks who change most of the lineup as soon as they change.
After all, in the bizarre place of NBA, there are often brain-dead bosses and team managers.
Anyway, in transfer transactions, there are always people who take advantage, and there are always people who become tragedy.
In addition to competing for vision, trading things like this, sometimes you also have to competing for character.
The NBA team managers basically have no character.
Occasionally, their character explodes once, and they probably have been proud of them for several years.
However, before large transactions emerged, the redistribution of rookies had already been staged in advance.
This is the Little Year of the Draft, and this is the evaluation of this Draft by many industry insiders.
There are no big men who are too outstanding, nor are there many guards who are eye-catching.
After the NBA's No. 1 pick fell into Yao Ming's hands once, this time it also gave Europeans a taste of it. Bagnani from Italy became the person who was highly anticipated.
The first Italian player to land in the NBA is also the first European draft No. 1 pick.
But this news did not cause much trouble. Perhaps apart from the Raptors who chose him, not many people really pay attention to this white big man.
There are even many people waiting to watch the Raptors jokes. Will the Italian who doesn't look strong be the next Nowitzki? I know.
In fact, there was a rumor before the draft began. For Stein's global promotion plan, NBA always needs to find some exciting gimmicks.
Yao Ming's No. 1 pick has made Houston and the NBA really benefit. Now Stein just wants to replicate such success in Europe.
But in the eyes of many senior football critics and reporters, the Italian man was so soft that he had never been strong, just like the Italian army during World War II.
"Soon will sooner or later understand that the Italian guy will not give him a face, but will only slap him hard with a dismal performance."
The next day, the newspaper's part about draft news was full of criticisms that Stein had pointed out in such a vague way, but the result was no longer changed.
Anyway, Stein would not care about such public opinion. Besides, he has not been slapped before, so he probably has been used to it.
Randy Fery, who was ranked seventh in the first round, was already a good choice. At least this kid's performance in 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 one day after the draft, Angie slapped the table and cursed her, and it was her old friend McHale.
"That idiot who makes the fart collapse!" The reason why Angie is so helpless is actually very simple, because the transaction between the Trail Blazers and the Celtics is about to leave Fery.
But the Timberwolves looked embarrassed and leaned over to exchange Roy for Fery. When they saw the deal was concluded, Angie and Rivers looked dull.
Damn it! McHale, if you want Fye, you won’t choose it yourself!?
If you take off your pants and fart, don’t you think it’s a bit difficult to do this?
However, Anji has no time to care about other people's affairs, so there is not much time left for the Celtics to adjust the lineup. The deal finalized on the day of the draft made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Foye is talented, he also has Tony Allen and West in his position. Even if he gets it, he is just a spare tire.
This little guy's shots are a bit too many when he is NCAA, and he often needs to attack with the ball.
But with Pierce here, it is probably not the turn of this kid to break into the inside line more. Now he can only make a bargaining chip for trading.
This deal with the Trail Blazers finally made the Celtics throw away a big bag, Reeve Lafrenz, the white center who was full of injuries and was almost disabled.
Lafrenz's big contract of nearly ten million has always been a big stone pressing against Anji's chest.
I wasn't that my head was crazy, but I actually left such a disabled person in the team and was living a life. If I hadn't had such a big burden on the team, I might have started to rebuild it long ago.
When this guy was not injured, he was definitely first-class in his performance, but his knees, two shoulders, and almost all the injuries were injured. He was basically half a disabled person.
Moreover, his contract was tens of millions at the beginning, which was the most melancholy issue that made Anji feel the most.
Now, the Trail Blazers are eager to come up to make trouble for themselves. Anji is so happy to make a favor that allows the Trail Blazers to bear this big and bad contract.
As for whether they cut off Lafrenz or stay at home as Baoer, Anji at least doesn't have to worry.
Although Ratliff was not a good guy to use, it was better than Lafrenz's big contract that was tens of millions, at least he couldn't use tens of millions! Anji was really hurt.
As for Telfire who came with Ratliff, this has basically been defaulted by Angie to be a person who can be thrown into the NBDL Development Alliance and be scrambled.
How to mess with the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers is no longer something Anji needs to care about.
After Angie packed Fery out, he still had to be busy with the Suns.
With a portion of the cash plus next year's first-round draft pick, Angie used such conditions to exchange for Brian Grant and the opponent's newly selected rookie Rajon Rondo from the Suns.
The guy who has braids in his brain was chosen to make money, and Angie didn't need any consideration when she cut him off.
Rajon Rondo is a supplement to the Celtics' not strong back line. Anyway, Angie has made up her mind that if this kid doesn't work, she can just sit on the bench.
Anyway, there are Tony Allen and West who is mentally a little crazy from time to time. Most of the time, they are the main players. A little guy like Rondo, whose main task now is to learn.
However, what made Angie resentful was the team's second draft pick. They had already locked in on fourth-year student Craig Smith from Boston University a few months ago.
Although that guy's data in NCAA is not impressive, he can play small forwards and power forwards. He has been tempered in college for four years, and his basic skills and tactical awareness are excellent.
Originally, this was the target that Rivers and Angie had long been targeting, but Chen Feng's sudden appearance directly cut off the connection between Smith and the Celtics.
According to Auerbach, "Instead of having a mediocre guy who has no characteristics, it is better to choose a wild boy with the same benefits and risks. At least that wild boy is very fond of my appetite."
This bishop's words completely cut off the fate between Smith and the Celtics.
However, Anji was really calm and dragged until the seventeenth place in the second round before choosing Chen Feng.
But his choice still surprised many team managers who didn't know Chen Feng at all.
"Who is that kid? Why did Boston choose him?" This is the question of most people.
Especially after they looked through Chen Feng's resume, such questions became even deeper.
No high school experience? No college experience? So where did this kid play basketball? Is it Mars?
Chen Feng didn't pop out of the cracks in the stone. He had tried other teams at the beginning, so someone would always know about his identity.
But when his experience of playing basketball was exposed, the team managers had already begun to stare at Anji with a look of dead people.
"It's over, that guy Angie is completely crazy. It's probably because Pierce wants to trade and leave that has stimulated him. He actually chose a wild boy who has only played on the street. I promise that there will be countless voices in the Boston newspapers tomorrow morning asking him, the team manager, to get out."
As it turns out, these people's estimates are very accurate. In the Boston Globe's report on the basketball team draft the next day, he almost publicly called Anji an idiot.
