I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 256: Big deal, splash online

In their villa in Orlando, Sun Yi and Curry are watching this year's draft on live television.

"The Cavaliers are so lucky. As soon as LeBron left, he chose another cornerstone for the future." Curry complained enviously.

"Stephen, this is just a way for the league to balance the strength of each team. You are so innocent that you actually believe that the Cavaliers rely on luck." Sun Yi replied with a smile.

"Uh...Sun, now the Cavaliers don't have the future, but the present. Watch TV." Curry said eagerly.

"Damn it! This is really a big deal!"

Sun Yi turned his head and saw a blockbuster transaction information displayed on the TV screen, and couldn't help but curse.

He didn't expect that something like this would happen. The situation in the alliance was in such chaos!

The Cavaliers, Hornets and Knicks completed a three-way trade.

The Hornets traded Paul to the Knicks and received Irving, Jamison and the Knicks' 2013 second-round pick; the Knicks received Paul and the Cavaliers' 2014 first-round pick; the Cavaliers received Anthony and the Hornets' 2012 Second round pick.

The deal caused an uproar online immediately after it was announced.

Professional institutions quickly rated the deal and gave it a high grade of A.

The Hornets couldn't keep Paul, in exchange for Irving, they got the future.

The Cavaliers got what they have now. They don't have to continue rebuilding. After acquiring Anthony, they once again have a backbone. Returning to the playoffs is no longer a dream.

The Knicks also reaped many benefits.

Last season, Anthony and Stoudemire failed to have a chemical reaction together, and the team's record did not meet expectations.

Moreover, Anthony could not integrate into coach D'Antoni's running and bombing system, making the Knicks unable to exert their full strength.

After the three-party trade in exchange for Paul, the Knicks not only improved in strength, but also got rid of the big trouble of Anthony, which can be described as double happiness.

After the deal was finalized, naturally some people were happy and some were sad.

Among them, LeBron James is undoubtedly the most troubled.

He has not yet come out of the shadow of the disastrous defeat in the finals, but he heard bad news one after another, which made the original bad mood worse.

Originally, James planned to return to the Cavaliers in a few years to fulfill the promise he made back then, so that he could restore the reputation of returning to the team to win the championship.

But now Anthony has completely blocked his escape route, making it impossible for the little emperor to go back.

At the same time, Paul, another banana boat brother, also came to add to the chaos. He didn't wait for the good west, so he came to the east to join in the fun.

Well now, the strength of the Knicks has greatly increased, and next season will definitely cause trouble for the Heat who are aiming for the championship.

These two banana boat brothers are really bad brothers!
James realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately called the team's general manager to discuss subsequent trade reinforcements.

He doesn't want to be ridiculed by those nasty black fans next season and still fail to win the championship.

After this little episode, the draft continued in an orderly manner.

A shocking trade broke out at the beginning, making fans extremely excited to see if there will be another blockbuster trade next.

The Timberwolves, who held the second pick, continued to bet on talent and selected Derrick Williams.

Williams has excellent physical fitness and is capable of playing the third and fourth positions. He is an offensive and defensive player with huge potential.

The Timberwolves selected him not only because of his talent, but also because the draft template given by the scouts was Sun Yi.

After all, as long as he is involved with Sun Yi, his worth will rise rapidly.

The next pick was the Utah Jazz. Their goal was very clear. They selected the big center Enes Kanter with the No. [-] pick to make up for the lack of insiders.

The Cavaliers selected Tristan Thompson with the fourth pick to complement Melo.

With the fifth pick, the Raptors selected Jonas Valanciunas.

With the sixth overall pick, the Kings selected Biyombo.

It's finally the seventh pick's turn, and fans are curious about which player the Warriors will choose to assist the Warriors' two stars.

The result didn't keep them waiting long, as David Stern soon revealed the answer.

"With the seventh pick in the first round, the Golden State Warriors chose shooting guard Klay Thompson from Washington State University!"

In the audience, when David Stern pronounced his name, Klay Thompson stood up, excitedly hugged his father Mitchell Thompson beside him, and then walked towards the center of the stage.

"Sun, can this guy really help us hit the championship?"

Curry looked at Thompson on the TV screen and asked Sun Yi his questions.

"Stephen, believe me, he is really good, and his shooting ability is not much worse than yours." Sun Yi replied with a smile.

"Sun, no one is better than me in terms of shooting!" Curry said unconvinced.

"Stephen, you look unconvinced. When the time comes, you two will compete and you will know who is stronger." Sun Yi used a provocation method.

"Compared with each other, I'm still afraid of a rookie!" Curry responded immediately.

He wanted to see how heavy this rookie was.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Sun Yi ignored the primary school students and continued to watch the draft.

The next few lottery picks were basically the same as he remembered, and there were no more accidents.

This year is a small year for the draft. There are not many talented players. Each team has already formulated a selection plan. If they are not selected, they will not trade.

After the lottery, it was the 15th pick in the first round.

Since Leonard entered the draft a year early, the Spurs did not trade Hill for the Pacers' first-round pick.

The Pacers selected Shumpert with the 15th overall pick in the first round to make up for the lack of guards.

The next first-round pick is still not much different from Sun Yi's memory.

The Digital People selected Vucevic with the 16th pick in the first round, hoping to replace the aging captain Brand, which has a sense of alternation between the old and the new.

The Nuggets selected Orc Faried with the 22nd overall pick.

Not long after, it was the turn of the 24th pick in the first round, and Sun Yi cheered up and looked at the TV screen.

Without any surprise, the Warriors selected Jimmy Butler.

"Sun, is this guy also very good?" Curry asked.

"You can tell how powerful he is just by looking at his appearance." Sun Yi said jokingly.

After hearing this, Curry looked carefully at Butler on the TV screen and immediately exclaimed: "This is Mike?!"

"Haha, does it look like young Mike?" Sun Yi said with a smile.

"Well, it's very similar, so he should be very powerful." Curry nodded thoughtfully.

"Sorry, Stephen, he is not very powerful now and will be of little help to us. He may serve as my substitute." Sun Yi answered truthfully.

The primary school student rolled his eyes after hearing this. He knew how terrible it was to be Sun Yi's substitute.

If the game does not enter garbage time, then the players acting as Sun Yi's substitutes will not get the time to play at all, because Sun Yi's physical fitness is too abnormal.

Battier and Brewer, who played Sun Yi's substitute last season, had to switch to the fourth position to have a chance to play.

Thinking of this, Curry couldn't help feeling sad for Butler, whom he had never met.

Seeing that Curry didn't answer, Sun Yi continued to watch the draft.

After the first-round pick, it’s the second-round pick’s turn.

Not many second-round picks in this class can make it.

The Mosaics made a big mistake and selected Chandler Parsons with the 38th overall pick.

The Kings were even more lucky, selecting Isaiah Thomas with the 60th overall pick, fulfilling his NBA dream.

At this point, the 2011 draft is all over and the league is about to enter a shutdown state.
