Chapter 270 The Crazy 2007 Draft!

There is no doubt that after the Trail Blazers tried out Kevin Durant, they fully recognized Kevin Durant's talent.

And from the perspective of the Blazers management, Kevin Durant's request to play the third position is not a problem at all.

After all, the Trail Blazers have Yi Jianlian at the power forward position.

As long as, after adding Kevin Durant, the average height of the Blazers' starting lineup next season will be pulled to a high position.

As for Kevin Durant, although he was eventually selected by the Trail Blazers with the seventh overall pick in the first round.

But from the No. [-] pick candidate, he fell to the top three candidates, then transferred to the top five candidates, and finally fell to the seventh pick in the first round and was selected.

The status quo of Kevin Durant's draft pick all the way down has greatly affected Kevin Durant's confidence.

This is definitely not a good thing for the growth and improvement of Kevin Durant's rookie season.

Of course, these things are now a headache for the Trail Blazers.

After the Trail Blazers selected Kevin Durant with the seventh pick in the first round, the Bobcats also made a surprise choice with the eighth pick in the first round.

In the 2007 draft, the Bobcats selected Brandon Wright with their eighth pick in the first round.

You must know that the players who have not been selected yet include Joakim Noah, Corey Brewer, etc., all kinds of outstanding players. As a result, the Bobcats chose Brandon Wright .

It can only be said that this choice is very Bobcats, but also very Jordan.

Then, the Kings happily accepted Corey Brewer with the ninth overall pick in the first round.

After seeing that his two teammates had already been selected, Joakim Noah's face became more and more ugly.

You must know that last season, Joakim Noah was still the inside player with the best offensive and defensive performance in the entire NCAA league.

He was also a player who could compete with Xu Lang and Yi Jianlian for the No. [-] pick last year. Even at the beginning of this year, Joakim Noah was always among the top five picks.

Until the appearance of Oden ruined everything.

The defeat of the ncaa championship and the poor performance of the Atlanta training camp caused Joakim Noah to fall from the altar in an instant.

Although Horford has become Oden's background board like Noah, it is obvious that Horford can still make up for it by relying on his physical talent.

In addition, Horford himself is not a player who faces Oden directly, so Horford's draft pick does not drop a lot.

But Noah is different, facing Oden being beaten and collapsed, and with the help of Horford.

In addition, Noah himself is a person who mainly relies on his brain to understand the game, although his personal physical talent is not bad.

But it's clearly not enough to make up for his poor performance when he was beaten and collapsed.

So, in a way, Joakim Noah is the worst rookie in this draft year than Kevin Durant.

After all, if he had participated in the draft last year, Joakim Noah would most likely have entered the NBA with the top five picks in the first round.

And now, with the tenth pick in the first round, Joakim Noah's name still hasn't been mentioned.

Fortunately, at this time, the Celtics, holding the tenth pick in the first round, chose Joakim Noah.

It's just that when the Celtics chose Joakim Noah with the tenth overall pick, they also didn't choose for themselves.

After all, this year's Celtics are going to make big moves.

And Danny Ainge also needs to fulfill the promise he made to appease Paul Pierce before, that is, to let the Celtics return to the championship.

Therefore, the rookie itself is not within the scope of the Celtics' team consideration in the next 3 to 5 years.

Then, Joakim Noah was sent to the Los Angeles Clippers immediately after being selected with the tenth overall pick in the first round.

At the same time, the full picture of the first big deal of this offseason was officially revealed to everyone.

There is no doubt that this is an absolutely big transaction. This transaction involves five teams, multiple draft picks, and the leading players of multiple teams.

First of all, the Clippers sent the 2007 No. [-] pick Sun Yue in this transaction.

Received Joakim Noah, the No. 2007 pick in the first round in [-], and Anthony Johnson from the Celtics.

For the Clippers, this trade not only allowed them to get Joakim Noah, which they wanted, but also got Anthony Johnson, a high-quality backup guard.

Speaking of which, Anthony Johnson is also speechless now. He originally wanted to go to the Eagles to play as a starter or even be the boss. As a result, Xu Lang's arrival directly caused Anthony Johnson to be traded to the Celtics at the moment he was just traded team.

This is not over, after a chaotic year with the Celtics, Anthony Johnson is now about to be traded to the Clippers again, and this time directly from the starter to the bench!

Of course, this may not be a good thing for Anthony Johnson, but for the Clippers, this is definitely a more profitable trade option!
Secondly, it is the Timberwolves who joined this transaction.

In this transaction, the Timberwolves sent their leading players Kevin Garnett and Mark Blunt.

Acquired Zach Randolph from the Celtics, Michael Olowokandi, and Luke Ridnour from the Sonics, as well as the Celtics' 08 and 09 first round of picks.

Also for the Timberwolves, this is already the best return they can get when Kevin Garnett is determined to leave.

After all, although Zach Randolph has various problems, last season, Zach Randolph was still able to play close to 20 plus [-] statistics, an All-Star center player.

The most important thing is that from the performance of last season, Zach Randolph seems to be able to play a good power forward.

This is definitely a good thing for the Timberwolves who just selected Greg Oden this year.

After all, although Greg Oden is very talented, he still needs a veteran to lead him in his rookie season.

I just don't know whether Zach Randolph, who just ruined the Celtics, will lead Greg Oden to a better direction, or let Greg Oden become a stat brush just like him.

The third team involved in this transaction is the Sonics, which everyone knows will be rebuilt next season.

In this transaction, the Sonics sent their own backcourt twin stars, Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis, Chris Wilcox, and Luke Ridnour.

With so many chips sent out, the Sonics finally got the No. [-] pick from the Seven Sixers Russell Westbrook, the potential star Al Jefferson from the Celtics, and Sun Yue, the No. [-] pick from the Clippers.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the Sonics' trade is definitely a loss.

After all, taking two All-Star players, plus two high-quality role players who are playing in their prime, in exchange for a bunch of rookies is not very profitable.

But for Bill Gates, through this transaction, the Sonics have basically completed what they want to do in this year's Sonics.

Qiqi, the University of Washington's twin star last year, was acquired by the Seattle SuperSonics.

And Sun Yue, the first small forward in China to enter the NBA through the draft, was also difficult to earn.

At least for the Sonics, it will be no problem to make money next season relying on these players to sell tickets!

As for the grades!

Bill Gates doesn't really want to make a difference in the NBA. For him, the Sonics are just a part of his business map.

However, what Bill Gates didn't expect was that this group of rookies gave him an extremely surprising performance in his rookie season.

After the Sonics, the fourth team to participate in this transaction is the Sixers.

In this transaction, the Seven Sixers also sent Allen Iverson, the head player who is determined to win the championship, and Russell Westbrook, the second pick in 07.

Got Rashad Lewis from the Sonics, Chris Wilcox from the Celtics, Delonte West from the Celtics, and first rounders from the Celtics in 10 and 11 picks.

Obviously, in the end, the management of the 76ers made a choice, choosing to fulfill Allen Iverson, or choosing to give up Allen Iverson.

As for the Seven Sixers, while letting go of Allen Iverson who insisted on leaving, they can regain Rashard Lewis, a young All-Star player, and they are already very satisfied.

Now that they can get many high-quality role players and two first-round picks, the management of the 76ers is already very satisfied!

After all, since the news of Allen Iverson's decision to leave the Sixers was known by many teams, the 76ers' deal with Allen Iverson has not been very smooth.

The trade choice this time is already the best choice among all the feasible trade plans for the Sixers.

And for Allen Iverson, this transaction can be regarded as a relief!

After all, Allen Iverson went to this team next, but he has already formed a galaxy battleship.

And this Galaxy Battleship is the initiator of this transaction and the last party of this transaction, the Boston Celtics.

In this transaction, the Boston Celtics sent Zach Randolph, Al Jefferson and Michael Olowokandi, Delonte West, Anthony Johnson And many other high-quality role players.

Not only that, in order to form the Galaxy Battleship, the Celtics also sent out Joakim Noah, the No. 2007 pick in 08, and the first-round picks for the next 09, 10, 11, and [-] years.

Basically, in this transaction, the Celtics completely dismantled the entire team's main lineup last season, and traded all the team's draft picks for the next four years!
And after spending so much energy and throwing out so many trading chips, the Celtics have also gained a lineup far beyond the imagination of many teams.

In this trade, the Celtics received Kevin Garnett from the Timberwolves, Mark Blunt, Ray Allen from the Sonics, and Allen Iverson from the 76ers. .

Then, next season, the Celtics put together a starting lineup that shocked everyone.

Center: Mark Blunt, Power Forward: Kevin Garnett, Small Forward: Paul Pierce, Shooting Guard: Ray Allen, Point Guard: Allen Iverson.

Two super giants, two All-Stars, the combined salary of the Celtics starting lineup next season alone is close to 7000 million US dollars.

But it must be said that you get what you pay for. As far as the starting lineup of the Celtics is concerned, except for the center position, all other positions are basically among the top ten in the league.

And Allen Iverson and Kevin Garnett are the top three in each position.

The last team that assembled such a terrifying lineup was the Lakers, although in which year the Lakers finally failed in the finals.

However, the Celtics' f4 lineup this time is different!

Although it is said that the f4 of the Celtics are mostly over 30 years old, they are actually still at the peak of their careers.

Unlike the Lakers f4 back then, only Kobe and O'Neal are still at their peak!
It can only be said that after this transaction, the Celtics have completed a major shakeup and officially entered the championship ranks.

And Danny Ainge, who operated this transaction, will undoubtedly leave a strong mark in the entire history of NBA transactions.

At the same time, it is precisely because of this five-party transaction led by Danny Ainge that it directly stole the limelight of all rookies selected after the 2007 NBA Draft.

No one cares about what the rookie who was selected later said on stage and which team was selected.

Everyone is discussing next year's NBA, next year's Celtics, next year's East will have earth-shaking changes?
It's just that although many people no longer pay attention to the 2007 draft.

But the Eagles and Xu Langke are still paying attention to the 2007 draft.

After all, their draft picks are too late. As long as there is a slight accident, the Hawks' original first choice Marc Gasol may be intercepted.

Fortunately, nothing happened in the end. Until the 17th pick in the second round, after the Hornets selected Adam Haruska, the Eagles smoothly selected Marc Gasol with the 18th overall pick in the second round. .

It's just obvious that selecting Marc Gasol is only the first step, and then Xu Lang has to find a way to make Marc Gasol officially land in the NBA.

Especially, after Xu Lang saw that the Celtics, which belonged to the Eastern Conference team like the Eagles, formed such a galaxy battleship.

I am even more eager to hope that Marc Gasol can land in the NBA earlier, and start training and improving according to the training plan issued by the system earlier!
After all, although the Celtics' Galacticos have an average age of over 30 years old.

But for many players, especially the super giant players, the age of 30 is just the beginning of their careers that have just entered the peak.

Therefore, the Celtics, a galaxy battleship, will have the strength to compete for the championship at least in the next 4 to 5 years.

However, Xu Lang didn't want to be really suppressed by these old guys for 4 to 5 years.

So, after the end of the 2007 draft.

Originally, he just wanted Dan Feigen and the Eagles management to send someone to persuade Marc Gasol's Xu Lang.

He also changed his mind, personally brought Mike Woodson to Spain, met Marc Gasol, and even directly promised Marc Gasol the starting center position in his rookie season.

It may be that Xu Lang's sincerity was moved, or it may be that the starting center position is too attractive.

Marc Gasol finally chose to accept Xu Lang's invitation after thinking about it for a while, and will join the Eagles and officially land in the NBA from next season.

After Xu Lang returned to the Eagles with the contract that Mark Jackson had already signed, Mike Woodson immediately asked a question.

That is, if Marc Gasol plays the starting center next year, what about Darko Milicic?
"Let Darko go to the power forward position. As for Josh, go back and ask him if he is willing to play as a substitute. If not, let's not delay him and find a way to trade him."

In the past year, one of the things Xu Lang learned the most in the NBA is that this is a business league.

No player dares to say which team he will definitely stay in. Even the former Michael Jordan never thought that he could stay in the Bulls for such a long time.

Therefore, for Xu Lang, he has begun to accept more and more NBA team personnel, and the reality will change rapidly in a short period of time.

And Xu Lang was already very righteous to Josh Smith.

After all, Josh Smith still has a one-year contract with the Eagles.

If the Eagles were more ruthless, they could have pressed Josh Smith on the bench forcefully, leaving him with no way to resist.of
After all, if Josh Smith in the contract year cannot get enough chances to play, it will definitely have a huge impact on the signing of Josh Smith's next contract.

People can have trouble with anything, but never with money.

Therefore, after the team management officially notified Josh Smith to either play as a substitute in the new season or choose to trade, Josh Smith decisively chose to trade.

Of course, the Josh Smith deal was not so easy to complete.

After all, Josh Smith will be on the Eagles' trading list, which is full of chance and suddenness.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Xu Lang now. After completing Marc Gasol's contract and giving Marc Gasol a training plan, Xu Lang officially entered the closed training of the national team.

After all, there is less than a month left before the start of this year's Asian Championships.
