The Godfather of Basketball

After the 76ers, the Lakers selected Lonzo Ball.

Ball's talent is outstanding, but in fact being able to become the second place has a lot to do with the hype of "ball dad" LaVar Ball.

But this is also part of the NBA, as long as it can impress the team, it can be done in any way.

The Celtics with the third pick got Tatum as they wished.

Tatum has top physical talent and excellent golf quotient, and his style of play is stable.

Seeing An Ji pocket him, Tang Tian was really a little upset.

Although the Celtics did not compete for the championship and pick the No. 1 pick because of the changes in the Nets, they also got the talented players they wanted by relying on poor performance. In the future, they will also be the Nets. One of the team's main rivals in the Eastern Conference.

The Suns selected Josh Jackson with the fourth pick.

The Kings selected De'Aaron Fox with the fifth overall pick.

"The Magic agreed!" At this moment, Jones put down the phone a little excitedly.

"Really?" Tang Tian also became excited.

"Yes, but they asked for an extra No. 48 pick."

Eric Gordon was traded for the No. 19 pick to the Magic for the No. 6 pick.

This is the offer given by the Nets before.

Tang Tian actually had the mentality of giving it a try.

I didn't expect it to happen.

The Magic sent Oladipo and the No. 11 pick to get Ibaka last year.

Now he is also willing to send the No. 6 pick for Gordon.

Sure enough, it is the most amazing management in the NBA.

"The No. 6 pick in the first round of the 2017 NBA belongs to the Orlando Magic. They have 5 minutes to think about it."

Because the conclusion of the transaction requires background operations, Xiao Hua did not get the news so quickly.

But after Xiao Hua announced, Woj has taken the lead in breaking out the deal between the Nets and the Magic on social media.

Gordon plus the 19th and 48th picks is equal to the Magic's 6th pick.

The Magic first traded Oladipo and the No. 11 pick for Ibaka last year, and then traded Ibaka for Terrence Ross and the Raptors in the first round of this year at the trade deadline. Ladipo and the No. 11 pick traded for the Raptors at the end of the first round this year and Rose.

No one knew what the Magic wanted to do, just like the fans who were expecting the Magic to pick a potential rookie were stunned after seeing the Woj news.

The reaction of Nets fans after seeing this transaction was polarized.

Some fans feel that this deal is not a loss. Jokic still has one year in his rookie contract. If he renews next year, he will also have to clear Gordon to get salary space. Now it is an early plan a year in advance, and Booker has also grown up. , Gordon's importance is relatively not that great.

And some other fans expressed concern, using immediate combat power to replace high-ranked rookies, the Nets were beaten by the Warriors and are about to be rebuilt?

In doubt, Xiao Hua walked out from the backstage again.

This time his appearance is particularly interesting, because this is the choice of the Nets.

"The 6th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2017, the Orlando Magic chose..."

Xiao Hua paused for a while, and all the fans at the scene stared at him blankly. You must know that most of the fans here are New York fans.

"Lauri Markkanen, 2'13 power forward from the University of Arizona."

When the results were announced, there was booing.

Markkanen was outside the top ten in the previous list predictions, on the verge of the lottery. Unexpectedly, the Nets picked him with the 6th overall pick.

This is simply a waste of draft picks.

"They made a very surprising choice. I thought the Nets would choose Malik Monk. After all, they just sent away Eric Gordon and needed a new shooting guard." Barkley There was also some confusion in the commentary booth.

Hearing the boos and doubts outside, Tang Tian smiled and said nothing.

Knicks fans, that's it, have a hard time picking one they don't boo.

But this is the benefit of his open eyes. Markkanen's prediction is indeed not high, but in his previous life, he was also picked by the Bulls at No. 7.

Markkanen is a member of the Little Green Room. He was still extremely excited when he heard his name being read, and stood up quickly.

Because the trade has not been officially announced, he is still wearing the Magic hat at this time.

Taking a photo with Xiao Hua, Markkanen was interviewed by reporters when he stepped down.

"You're wearing the Magic hat now, but we all know the deal is done and you're going to report to Brooklyn. How are you feeling?"

"I'm very excited. I'm very happy to join the Nets. I also look forward to playing for Coach Tang Tian." Markanen has a shy personality, and he seemed a little shy when he spoke.

He is 2.13 meters tall, has excellent movement speed, has a certain confrontation, and also has the ability to shoot three-pointers.

Markkanen's words are actually very similar to Yi Jianlian.

In the rookie season of the Bulls in his previous life, because he was rebuilding the team, he averaged 15.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, shooting 43.4% from the field and 36.2% from the three-point range. Even the statistics were similar to those of Yi Jianlian in his previous life with the Nets.

The reason why Tang Tian chose him was not only to cultivate his potential, but also as a candidate for Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian's age is coming up, and the contract is only 2 years.

Markkanen was selected, but the attention to other teams has not diminished.

The Timberwolves selected Jonathan Isaac, a small forward from Florida State University, with the No. 7 pick.

The Knicks selected Frank Ntilikina with the eighth pick.

Compared with the previous Nets who selected Markkanen with the No. 6 pick, this time the New Yorkers booed more fiercely.

Although Ntilikina is almost in this position in the prediction list, but because the league data is really poor (5.8 points, 2 rebounds and 1.6 assists), and he is an international player, it is more natural for fans to boo.

Tang Tian was in a good mood at this time. Compared to Markkanen, Ntilikina was indeed a bit less interesting, and he was still a guard. It is true that overseas guards did not play well in the NBA. Those insiders and big white men were the best. Those who are expected to hit the face, such as Porzingis, who was selected by the Knicks before.

The Mavericks picked up the 9th pick and selected Daniel Smith, who was in the top five or even the top three before the trial training, but fell to this position only because of injuries.

The Kings selected Zach Collins with the 10th overall pick and traded him to the Trail Blazers.

The 11th pick of the Hornets also missed out, and selected the first shooting guard Malik Monk in this draft. Monk had previously predicted that he would also be ranked in the top ten or even the top five. This is because the Rockets fell.

The Pistons with the 12th pick selected Luke Kennard, a 1.98-meter white shooting guard from Duke University.

After the Pistons, the Nets followed closely.

They have the magic No. 13 pick.
