The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 329 Seven draft picks in hand

In the eyes of many teams, the value of Giba is even higher than that of Clay.

The Philadelphia 76ers just happen to lack a third position who can hold the game, so they have already set their minds on Jiba.

The current lineup of the 76ers is not worth mentioning from the perspective of future generations.

But at present, their lineup is actually quite worth looking forward to.

Power forward Thaddeus Young and point guard McAway.

Among them, although Thaddeus Young has never been selected as an All-Star, he has maintained the statistics that a first-class combo forward should have all year round, and he can be regarded as a fairly reliable player.

As for McAway, it is even more expected by 76ers fans.

As a point guard with a height of 198 cm, Michael Carter-Williams placed a lot of fantasies on the fans.

This year is his rookie season, and he averaged about 17 points, 6 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game.

This is like a little magician.

In addition, as a rookie, his defensive efficiency is also good, not the kind of colander point guard.

Looking at it this way, it can really be described as having a bright future.

What really made McAway popular is actually his debut data. In his first game with the 76ers this season, he directly scored a quasi-quadruple double of 22 points, 12 assists, 9 steals and 7 rebounds.

The most important thing is that he made only one turnover, and his efficiency is quite astonishing.

It is no exaggeration to say that such a debut stat is not too much to say that it is the most perfect one in the entire NBA history.

Such a promising point guard, if he trades Giba, who is very good at both ends of the offense and defense, to form a twin-star lineup, the 76ers management feels that they will definitely take off.

If you are lucky and get a first-class insider, the 76ers feel that they can win the championship in a few years.

There is no way, McAway gives people too much reverie.

It's a pity that later facts proved that when the veterans in the league became familiar with McVay's style of play, this guy immediately showed his original shape.

In a sense, McAway is similar to Jennings of the Bucks before. They both had a hot rookie season for a while, and then there was nothing else.

Jennings was also known as a super shooting guard back then, able to succeed Jordan Kobe's existence.

There is no doubt that the 76ers' management must have thought too much, and McAway simply cannot afford the heavy responsibility of the 76ers' revival.

"Aaron, Jimmy's price is not cheap."

"After all, this is a ready-made All-Star player who has fully emerged, not one of those inconsistent rookies."

"After we let out the wind, I'm afraid there will be countless teams to make offers."

In fact, Li Xun didn't really want to do business with acquaintances, and wanted to dispel Iverson's idea.

"Li, you don't need to tell me this kind of thing, after all, you are not making a deal with me."

"I'm just a messenger, you can think of me as a real estate agent."

"I'm afraid you also know what the current situation of the 76ers is. Except for McAway, which is not for sale, the only other thing that can be taken out is the draft pick."

"They have a No. [-] pick, and they have a No. [-] pick in the first round."

"In addition to this there is a 32nd pick and a 47th pick."

"You see what kind of chips they should use to trade Jimmy, and then I will tell them the 76ers management."

Iverson reported the current family background of the 76ers to Li Xun.

Li Xun was surprised, he didn't expect the 76ers to have so many draft picks.

The Mavericks also have a lot of picks. After all, they sold a Middleton before and got a lot of picks from the Thunder.

But these draft picks are all low.

Unexpectedly, in addition to their own No. 76 pick, the 3ers did not know where to get a No. 10 pick.

This pick was actually obtained from the Pacers through a trade. In the second half of the season, the 76ers sold Evan Turner to the Pacers.

However, the Pacers did not take advantage of this deal.

Because Turner, who originally averaged 76 points per game in the 17ers, directly became a little guy who averaged 7 points per game after arriving in the Pacers.

It also didn't play a decent role in the Pacers' playoffs.

People are moved to death, trees are moved to life, and Turner is a typical example of being moved to death.

"Alan, do you think they can combine the No. 3 and No. 10 picks to trade Jimmy?"

Li Xun certainly wants these two high-ranking picks, but thinking about it, it seems that the 76ers are unlikely to agree.

After all, they are two top ten draft picks. If you are lucky, you can actually pick a future All-Star.

If you're lucky, you might be able to select two All-Stars.

Of course, if you are unlucky, you may get two parallel importers, but the chances of this are not high.

After all, as the saying goes, there must be water in the second place of the top pick, and there must be no water in the third place.

This year's 14th draft is actually quite special. The No. [-] pick has no water, and the second place Jabari Parker is actually not water.

Of course, it depends on how you define water.

If not being an All-Star is considered water, then Parker must be considered water, and his peak period did not last for a few years. He began to rise in 16 years, and he was cold in 19 years.

If you look at it this way, there must be nothing wrong with water.

This year's pick is Embiid, the great emperor, and it must be considered a support.

"Then I don't know, but since it's a deal, it should be possible to talk about it."

"I'll tell them your offer, and then you can talk it out yourself."

"My $50 is a waste of money."

Iverson said with a laugh.

Li Xun chatted with Iverson for a while, and after hanging up the phone, he called Little Nelson directly.

After Nelson learned that the 76ers were interested in Jiba, he didn't say much. He thought it would be better for Li Xun to do it himself.

After all, for more than a year, Li Xun has the final say on every transaction of the Mavericks.

The effect is also obvious to all, and the general manager himself can be a hands-off shopkeeper in terms of transactions.

In the evening, Sam Hinch, the general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, called Li Xun.

This Sam Hinch Li Xun actually didn't have much impression, he seemed to be the general manager who was completely airborne, and he seemed to be the same as Fatty Mo before, not an insider.

"Lee, it's a pleasure to speak with you, it's an honor."

"The 76ers have already held a meeting to discuss the transaction offer you made, and generally agree."

Sam Hinch's words made Li Xun quite excited.

He actually agreed, and Jiba was able to exchange for a No. 3 pick and a No. 10 pick.

This is undoubtedly a very good deal.

This No. [-] pick can undoubtedly only be used to select Embiid. As for the No. [-] pick, there are a lot of options.

But the best choice is definitely Zach LaVine.

It is equivalent to saying that a Jiba was exchanged for Embiid and LaVine. This deal is very cost-effective.

But listening to what the 76ers said, they generally agree, and it seems that there are some additional conditions.

"Li, this year's draft, can you give us advice and help me find a decent inside player."

"We couldn't be more grateful."

After listening to Sam Hinch's words, Li Xun finally understood what they meant by generally agreeing.

Dare to complete an insider transaction?

On the bright side, the Mavericks traded Jiba for the No. 3 pick plus the No. 10 pick. In private, Li Xun had to help the 76ers find a decent insider.

The 76ers' abacus is almost clanging.

After getting two draft picks and getting Jiba, the active All-Star of the year, he still wants to get an All-Star insider.

Because the 76ers are talking about a decent insider, in the eyes of a player of Li Xun's level, to be evaluated as decent, he must be at the All-Star level.

It is equivalent to saying that the 76ers exchange two draft picks for two All-Stars, which is definitely a good deal.

Li Xun was speechless, "Old man, this is a bit difficult."

"The draft pick cannot be equated with an All-Star player, because you don't know what kind of player you will get."

"If the Cavaliers knew that their No. [-] pick was going to pick Bennett, they would definitely trade it."

"I think some of this year's rookies have great potential, but we Mavericks also need these players."

"If you are really sincere, you need an excellent insider and definitely need more bargaining chips."

Li Xun began to bargain.

The 76ers' abacus was clanging, and it was impossible for Li Xun to really let them take advantage of it.

Sam Hinch said he wanted to discuss it with other team executives, then hung up.

After waiting for about half an hour, he called again.

It seems that the 76ers should win Jiba.

Jiba is indeed inexplicably attractive to these big teams.

Usually he is very tough, and his personal ability is not to mention that he is online on both offensive and defensive ends, so he is very suitable to partner with a future No.

"Li, the only concession we can make is to hand over our second-round pick for next year to you."

Of course, Li Xun would not be willing to make such a concession.

How much value a second-round pick can have is almost dispensable for the current Mavericks.

You must know that the Mavericks have a lot of draft picks this year.

In the previous deal with the Thunder, they got three first-round picks and one second-round pick from the Thunder.

The three first-round picks are the 28th pick of the Warriors, the 18th pick of the Grizzlies, and the 14th pick of the Thunder.

As for the second round pick, it is the 44th pick in the second round.

The Mavericks are also lucky. This year's competition in the Western Conference is too fierce, which caused the Thunder to miss the playoffs and let the Mavericks get a lottery pick for nothing.

In addition to these draft picks, the Mavericks also have their own 30th pick in the first round and 30th pick in the second round.

It means that even if the draft picks are not traded this year, the Mavericks already have 6 draft picks in their hands.

"Well, give us your first round pick next year, and we can give you a 30th pick in this year's second round."

"In addition to helping you find a decent insider, how about helping you get a shooting guard who is at least qualified to start?"

Li Xun said with a smile.

Sam Hinch on the other end of the phone almost went crazy with joy.

The pie fell from the sky. He didn't want too much at first. If Li Xun disagreed, they would continue to make concessions, such as directly giving the Mavericks the first round pick next year.

As for the rule that you can't have no draft picks for two consecutive years, it's not difficult. You just need to buy a low-ranked first-round pick this year or next year.

Now Li Xun is simply sending warmth, almost giving them a starting-level shooting guard for nothing.

Don't underestimate the shooting guards at the starting level. The number of shooting guards in the league is relatively scarce now. If they can achieve a qualified starting level, it is already very valuable.

For example, Turner, who was sold to the Pacers by the 76ers, could be regarded as a qualified starting shooting guard when the 76ers were, but he cannot be said to be qualified now.

"we agree!"

"Li, you are really our savior."

"If we win the Eastern Conference next season, we will never forget you."

Sam Hinch danced excitedly, and the 76ers' lineup took off.

The No. [-] position has the genius McAway.

A quasi-quadruple-double supernova debut.

The second position has a qualified starting shooting guard recommended by Li Xun.

The third position has a first-class small forward like Jiba on both ends of the offense and defense.

The fourth position has a stable Thaddeus Young.

The fifth position has an all-star center recommended by Li Xun.

How could the 76ers not take off?
Li Xun was speechless when he heard this. Thinking about the Eastern Conference champion so soon?
Maybe these guys really overestimated McAway's ability.

If McAway can really grow year by year on the basis of his rookie season, then this 76ers team is actually pretty good.

But McAway is simply too embarrassing to use, and the 76ers are destined not to count on him.

Judging from the current situation of this transaction, the 76ers certainly made a profit, but in the long run, because they missed the opportunity to win Embiid, they actually lost a lot.

"By the way, your No. 32 pick needs to be traded up. It's best to get a pick around the 23rd pick, so that I can help you choose the insider."

Li Xun did not forget to remind at the end.

According to the plan he just thought of, it is to help the 76ers win Capela with the 23rd pick.

Capela Kahuang definitely meets the conditions put forward by the 76ers, a decent insider.

A center with 15 points and 12 rebounds all year round, if it is not decent, it is too unreasonable.

Originally, Li Xun planned to take down the card king, but now that he has Embiid, what card king is needed.

As for the starting-level shooting guard that Li Xun said was Glenn Robinson III, who was normally selected with the 40th overall pick, is the son of the famous Bucks star Robinson.

Robinson Jr. did not achieve as much as his father, but later he also averaged 13 points per game in the Warriors, and his offensive efficiency was also good.

When entering the league, the template is Ariza.

Giving it to the 76ers for free is actually considered a bargain for the 76ers.

Since then, Li Xun has helped the Mavericks win three first-round picks.

However, there is a 2015 first-round pick among them, which will definitely not be used this year.

3号、10号、14号、18号、28号、30号、44号，这便是小牛今年可用的所有选秀权。

There are seven in total, and they are all in good order.

Li Xun looked relaxed and happy. After coming to Mavericks, he has never fought such a rich battle.

With these seven picks, this year's draft is definitely a super bumper harvest.

I am afraid that Li Xun's distress next season should be to give priority to training those players.
