The Thunder selected Agui with the third overall pick. Durant and Roy had no idea what they were about to experience.

The Thunder originally wanted to draft Beasley, but unfortunately Beasley was taken away by the Heat with the second overall pick.

Without getting a positive answer from Leon, Riley did not dare to easily choose an insider like Lopez, so he could only choose the safe Beasley.

Beasley averaged 26.2 points and 12.4 rebounds per game in college. It was astonishing to be able to produce such data in an NCAA game that only had 40 minutes and fewer rounds.

28 double-doubles in a single season, 22 games of 20-10, 13 games of 30-10, and 3 games of 40. All these records rank first in the United States!

If the Heat had won the No. 1 pick, Riley would have chosen Beasley without hesitation.

Beasley is very similar to Li Ang in all aspects. He can play the third and fourth positions at the same time. He is particularly tight on the defensive end, has comprehensive skills, and has excellent physical fitness.

Even if Li Ang really wants to join the Heat and needs an inside player, Riley feels that with Beasley's trade value, he can get a pretty good inside player.

Watching Riley take away Beasley, the Thunder could only take away the spare tire Agui with tears.

As for Mayo, who was in the top and bottom section, the Thunder felt that the guy was too watery. He was Liu Bie because of his obvious height advantage. However, in recent years, Mayo has almost never grown in height. It is because he rushed too hard in the early stage.

A typical example of wilting in the later stages.

After the height advantage is gone, his dominance on the court is getting smaller and smaller.

Compared to Mayo, the Thunder are more interested in Westbrook's abnormal athletic ability.

Durant and Roy looked at each other, neither of them knew what kind of guy Westbrook was.

Compared to Rose, Beasley and Mayo, Westbrook is relatively less famous.

Even within UCLA, Love is the most famous.

Durant shrugged. Actually, it doesn't matter who comes, as long as he can take him to drink the bath water, we are good brothers.

She is quite the wife of the county magistrate. As for who the county magistrate is, whether it is Westbrook or Beasley, it doesn’t matter at all!

Bath water is the key!

Look at Li Ang, how many girlfriends has he changed one by one? Is it useful? Changing the soup does not change the medicine! After being a scumbag in the modeling industry, he is now a scumbag in the entertainment industry. If he continues to be a scumbag, he will no longer be a scumbag, and he will lose his face!

When he gets married in the future, he may not be able to invite his ex-girlfriend to the table alone.

You, you, you... you can leave us a hot mouthful at least!

You drank all the bath water by yourself, what should we drink?

Little did Durant know that he wouldn't have to worry about the bath water next.

There is enough sewer bath water!

It's just the smell of the bath water that's a little off.

With the fourth pick, the Timberwolves tearfully selected Mayo, and with the fifth pick, the Spurs actually selected Italian forward Gallinari. They did not select Love because they still had illusions about Duncan staying on the team. Also,

Spurs really have a soft spot for European players.

The Grizzlies selected Love with the sixth pick, but immediately made an eight-player trade with the Timberwolves, and Love and Mayo also swapped teams.

In the second round, the Clippers also selected DeAndre Jordan after Rose.

In this year's draft, people feel that the biggest winner is not the Clippers but the Heat.

Although Rose is strong, the Clippers currently only have Elton Brand. Moreover, Brand's contract has expired, and he may not necessarily renew his contract with the Clippers.

If Brand doesn't renew his contract, the Clippers will still have to compete for the championship next year and stay in the lottery with Rose alone.

The Heat are different. Wade is at his peak, and now they have Beasley who has both potential and immediate ability.

Next season, it is not a dream for the Heat to take off.

Not to mention directly subverting Yao Ming's dominance of the Eastern Conference, but at least the Heat no longer have to compete for the No. 1 pick, and making the playoffs is not a big problem.

After all, based on last season's record, we only need more than 35 wins in the Eastern Conference to reach the playoffs, which is simply magical.

Rose was also very surprised why Brother Li called me out of nowhere and asked me if I dared to touch Kobe and if I dared to overthrow the Lakers.

Although the Clippers and Lakers are rivals in the same city, the Clippers' current lineup...

Brother Li, please stop joking, okay?

You can have expectations for me, but you can't have illusions about me!

While the world is discussing the outcome of this year's draft, the call between Leon and Duncan has ended.

The first time he communicated with Duncan, Li Ang felt that communication was extremely difficult!

Sometimes if you talk for a long time, he might just reply to you: "Yeah."

Li Ang was convinced, maybe it was because he was uncultured.

Who makes it impossible for him to talk about quantum mechanics with Duncan?

However, Li Ang still felt Duncan's determination to win the championship.

Li Ang thinks this can be done!

A few days after the draft, on July 1, Popovich was taking a walk in the yard.

I saw this old man walking slowly and limping. He was in a coma for a long time because of a cerebral hemorrhage that compressed his nerves. After medical treatment miraculously revived him, he suffered from hemiplegia.

The entire left side of Popovich's body has almost lost its mobility, so when he walks, the entire left side of his body is extremely stiff and limps.

In addition, Popovich's language skills have also been damaged.

He speaks very slowly now and may not speak clearly.

After taking a walk, he returned to the living room and turned on the TV to read the morning sports news.

Although he has been away from the game for several years, Popovich has always been eager to return.

This is also the motivation for him to actively recover.

Having his leg broken by his own player and causing a cerebral hemorrhage...Popovich really didn't want his career to end in such a funny way.

This is so embarrassing!

Because today is the first day of the NBA transfer market, all kinds of transfer rumors are flying all over the sky.

Popovich cares about Duncan, after all, Duncan is the key to his recovery.

If he returns to the Spurs and the Spurs don't have Duncan, he won't know how to lead the team to win.

As a result, as he watched, the host on the TV screen showed a surprised look.

"Now urgently insert a piece of news that I just received, breaking news!

The Los Angeles Clippers officially announced that they have signed Leon and Tim Duncan at the same time, bringing these two most high-profile free agents this summer into their pockets at the same time!

Duncan and Leon, these two former rivals, will reunite in Los Angeles!"

Popovich looked at the breaking news on the TV and was stunned for a moment.

Then he suddenly leaned back and lay on the sofa.

Popovich, who had only recovered not long ago, burst a blood vessel again.

At the same time, it was the Martian Snake whose blood pressure soared.

He watched the news on the TV and was stunned for a few seconds before secretly uttering one word: "Real dog!"

Kobe Bryant said in an interview before that no matter which team Leon and Duncan join, it is impossible to defeat the Lakers. But what the hell, they actually peed into a pot!

Ballmer's polygamy is a crime!

Who allowed you to marry them both at the same time?

Now is a society governed by the rule of law. Stop engaging in your feudal ways!

Oh, the Lakers are also polygamists? That’s okay.

Ballmer actually hired Leon and Duncan at the same time, which is really something people didn't expect. It's really not easy to sign two maximum-paid players in a row. Not only do you have to have salary space, but the boss also has to be willing to spend money.

You know, the salaries of Leon and Duncan are not low.

According to what was revealed on TV, the Clippers offered Duncan a four-year maximum salary, with the last year being a player option.

Li Ang only signed a one-year maximum salary contract.

Because Li Ang has played in the league for 9 years, his current starting salary can directly account for 30% of the salary cap, unlike when he signed with the Suns, he could only start at 25% of the salary cap.

Therefore, Li Ang's salary in the first year was as high as 17.6 million.

As for Duncan, because he has played in the league for ten years, his starting salary is higher than that of Leon, and he can start at 35% of the salary cap.

Therefore, Duncan's first-year salary was 20.53 million. Based on an annual increase of 7.5%, Duncan's four-year maximum salary contract would add up to about 91 million.

Everyone initially thought that Duncan and Leon would join different teams, but no one expected that Ballmer would make a big deal when he came up, saying that only poor people make choices, and I want both of them if I am rich!

Firstly, Ballmer is willing to spend money, and secondly, the Clippers' salary structure is really good.

The contract of Brand, the team's only top-paid player, just expired this summer, and Maggette's contract also just expired. Then Ballmer pardoned the old cat Mobley, and the Clippers were basically wiped out.

There is a lot of salary space.

Big enough to take on two max-paid players at the same time.
