This Forward is Not Serious

Yes, who in this league is a better fit for James than Davis?

Regarding this, it is not only the technical fit between the two in theory, but also the actual combat as proof.

At last year's All-Star Game, the two had a supernatural rapport, and everyone could see they were a perfect fit.

In the words of some James fans: There is defense, shooting range, and the ability to lead C at certain times. Davis is simply a player born for James. Compared with Davis, Love and Bosh are nothing at all. Worth mentioning!

"I'm going to get in touch with the Pelicans."

Paul nodded quickly after listening.

If he leaves the Warriors, there are two best places for James to go.

One is the Lakers and the other is the Pelicans.

From a business standpoint, the Lakers are the better choice.

But now what James is asking for is no longer pure business.

Then Davis and the Pelicans are better options.

As long as the Pelicans can deal with Cousins' expiring contract.

Then with the contracts vacated by other role players, they can also form a Big Three lineup.

Of course, there will be great doubts about whether this will work, after all, the Pelicans are not a team that can do big things.

Or, no one said they had to be in New Orleans.

After George set the precedent of changing teams during the contract period, the contract is far less binding on players than before.

…

Two days after the championship parade, Vulcan Dean found Lin Ying.

The purpose is to talk about the upcoming draft and the free market.

Before Lin Ying and Lu shouted out the slogan of the dynasty one after another, it would naturally come to the ground later.

Dare to shout out because you have enough self-confidence, but self-confidence is based on adequate preparation, and smart people do not fight unprepared battles.

Over the past few years, Vulcan Deen has completely trusted Lin Ying's vision, so after setting a dynasty goal, he will naturally need Lin Ying's opinion.

After last season, the Nets also had some turnover.

For example, in the previous roster, the two veterans, David West and Jack, have already talked to him about their intention to retire.

Jack also said that he had been holding his thighs at the end of his career and was not in the rotation, but West's words belonged to an important rotation, and his retirement was bound to need someone to support him.

And the contracts of Rose and Curry are expiring, Johnson's suspension, and even the contracts of Bradley and Ariza have only one year left to expire.

These minor details that don't seem to affect the main body will also be the key to the Nets' performance next season.

After all, as the public enemy of the league, their style of play, and even the habits of their core players, have been thoroughly studied by their opponents.

At such a time, we need a special soldier, and we also need some fresh blood to break the situation.

"The markets for Derek and Seth are both good, and we might just have to pick one or the other."

Although the free market has not yet begun, general managers generally have their own private channels and will learn some information first.

Most of Vulcan Dean's transactions in recent years have been mutually beneficial, so he is not like Ainge and Mosaic who pit opponents again and again. His information is relatively accurate.

"I'm leaning towards Derek, he's bigger."

Walkendian continued.

Lin Ying nodded, no objection.

Curry Jr.'s three-pointer is solid, but as Walkendian said, the role of the second choice for Rose is definitely greater.

And Curry's defense is still easy to be targeted. Rose's words seemed to have recovered most of his injuries last season, and his defense was at least above average.

So this choice is still easy, after all, it is not only attacking but also defending when it comes to anxiety.

Inside, Nene was in good shape last season and can basically replace West's role last season.

In addition, Zhou Qi's training is not bad, and he should also need some playing time next season.

So the end point of their summer reinforcements should be a small forward, or a swingman.

Vulcan Dean valued one person.

"Josh Hart."

Lin Ying was not surprised to hear this name. Hart had completed four years of college and had immediate combat power. He had average physical talent, but had 3D potential.

This type of player is the best fit for the Nets.

And Hart's potential in history is quite good, the upper limit is not just a 3D player, but a main potential.

However, after nodding, Lin Ying also offered another solution.

"If possible, OG Anunoby is also a good choice, he's a Kawhi Leonard, Crowder, Siakam type of player."

Although Hart is good, the Nets already have Ariza and Bradley, and the latter two are still at their peaks, and they have not yet reached the state where they need to train their successors. Even if Hart is selected, it will be a long time. Sit on a cold bench for a while.

But the Nets are lacking in the front line swing. They had Crowder and Johnson before, but Crowder was traded away and Johnson was suspended. Even if they want to sign Johnson back, they still need someone to stand by.

Walkendian wrote down the name. Anunobi is only a freshman this year, and his style of play in college is indeed a bit like Leonard, but he is less talented.

And if he is selected, he needs to trade upwards, so there will be uncertainty here.

Just like Lin Ying gave advice at the beginning, but Vulcan Deen finally chose to trade down and choose someone else.

However, the draft has set an established goal, and the direction of free agency signings is also clear.

A swingman, or a swingman, is the focus of the Nets' summer signings.

Although Rose's big contract has expired, the contracts of the core players such as Lin Ying Durant of the Nets are increasing year by year, and the Nets' extra salary space for next season will only be about 20 million, which is still not renewed. Yoros' own case.

And after the salary cap increases, the new contract will also rise. The previous middle class is 7 million, and now it is directly 15 million.

Therefore, the Nets' salary space is not as rich as it seems before, and the key players can only sign two, or even one.

And then at this time, Lin Ying and Vulcan Deen almost said one person in unison.

Both of them couldn't help laughing after speaking.

This is true, the hero sees the same thing.

And they have good reason to believe that man would be interested in the Nets.

…

Los Angeles, a private villa.

James has had his second surgery on his face.

This time he was happier.

Don't say it, he feels that every time he has an operation, he feels that his appearance has become higher.

Sure enough, the top Korean doctor Fu Paul found for him is still very reliable.

Of course, it wasn't just this one thing that made him happy.

Also, things are moving on the Pelicans side.

Rich Paul's business ability is still very strong. The management of the Pelicans has been agreed by him, and he has decided to give it a shot when he is sure to get James.

And Fu Paul also continued his previous Cao Cao, using his special status to get in touch with some big-name free agents.

If nothing else, as long as the Pelicans can handle Cousins' contract, the Big Three will be here.

Don't look at the small market of New Orleans, but wasn't Cleveland a smaller market?

And New Orleans has always been under the care of the league because of the fact that it bought the league to host the team, and the All-Star Game went back and forth many times.

This James really went, that ball market is also developing very fast.

Just like the Nets have Lin Ying, it has only been a few years, and they have already suppressed the Knicks, which were originally thought to be impossible to shake.

Everything is in place, it just depends on what the Pelicans management can do at the trade deadline.

…

Time flies, and a week has passed in a blink of an eye.

During this week, in addition to recording new songs with Swift and playing with Xiao Lin Yi, Lin Ying enjoyed the various delicacies made by Yang Shuyi.

This is also a rare leisure time after defending the title.

Moreover, in order to further strengthen Xiaolin Yi's orientation, Lin Ying also conducted a "choose concubine" activity for him.

He found a few big beauties and let Xiao Lin Yi pick one to play with.

Of course, at this time, Xiao Lin Yi was young and did not develop, so this game must be serious play.

A week later, the 2017 NBA Draft kicked off at the Barclays Center.

Walkendian and Lu took the draft team to the draft cabin, while Lin Ying and Durant sat in the VIP box of the arena again to watch the show.

This year is essentially a draft year. Compared with some in 2013, there is no one with absolute strength who can be elected as the No. 1 pick, and the strength of lottery picks is generally considered to be not particularly strong.

This is why Lin Ying would think of letting the Nets trade up for draft picks and try to select Anunoby.

If it is another draft year, this kind of operation is basically unfeasible for a team like the Nets with few chips.

Before the draft started, Durant first chatted with Lin Ying about where James will go next season.

Compared with Lin Ying, Durant paid more attention to James and was much more enthusiastic.

"There are rumors now that LeBron wants to play with Anthony Davis?"

Durant is worthy of being a social media expert, and he has already got the news before it has been confirmed.

However, there is a saying that "there is no airtight wall in the world." After Rich Paul contacted the management of the Pelicans, it was a matter of time before the outside world knew about it.

Of course, not many people know the news now.

Durant originally thought that Lin Ying would be somewhat surprised, but Lin Ying's reaction was "surely".

The reason is very simple, because Davis has also been teammates with James in history, and they also won a championship together.

Although the champion is greatly influenced by external factors and is not recognized by many people, the champion is the champion, at least it can show that the two are very suitable in terms of technology and personality.

"I think maybe they don't necessarily end up in New Orleans."

After Lin Ying nodded, he spoke his thoughts.

"Oh?"

"LeBron needs to consider his business interests and does not rule out the possibility of Anthony Davis applying to the Pelicans management for a designated trade."

Durant froze for a moment, then slapped his thigh.

"Second!"

After George's case, it's not uncommon to designate a third party.

"Of course, not necessarily, because there are not many people who can accommodate both of them at the same time, and Davis's trade value is now at its peak."

Lin Ying didn't say anything.

Because although Davis has also applied for a trade in history, the situation is very different now.

And there is one person that cannot be ignored.

Jaylen Brown.

Although the Pelicans didn't make the playoffs last season, Cousins ​​played really well before his injury, and Brown's performance was particularly good.

Especially after Cousins ​​was injured, Brown won the shot for himself with his outstanding performance in the first half of the season, and his data in the second half was also quite good.

To put it in an inappropriate way, last year's Rookie of the Year would have been Brown's had it not been for Cousins' late injury.

Therefore, the possibility of James going to the Pelicans cannot be completely ruled out. After all, James has a very accurate vision for finding teammates.

"I'm a little itchy when I say that."

Durant said and rubbed his hands.

It might sound weird to say it, but the truth is, James is more looking forward to where he goes than playing the game himself.

Well, this is already the fourth season of where James is going, and it's decided to be four!

They talked about the same, and the draft conference on UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also began.

When the draft was young, many lottery players chose to trade out their draft picks.

This includes the Celtics using Thomas and a crowd of chips to switch to the third overall pick and select Jayson Tatum.

Although Jaylen Brown is doing well in the Pelicans now and won't go to the Celtics, and there won't be any double picks, but Tatum is indeed the core of the team.

That's good news for the Nets, too, because a lot of trades means a move on Walkendian's side is feasible.

Subsequent developments have indeed proved this.

When the draft was in the middle of the first round, the Nets successfully traded the No. 30 pick and Dorian Finney Smith, who was selected last year, to get the No. 21 pick, and successfully took this pick. Anunoby.

After Lin Ying saw the result, she turned around and gave Durant a high five.

Anunoby is called a replica of Siakam by fans. Although it is difficult to start the game because of the twin stars of him and Durant, the strength of rotation is definitely there.

Like Butler back then, training is the same, and it's not a bad idea to start at that time.

This wave, just like a card draw game, has a guaranteed bottom line.

And soon, the benefits also came.

After talking about Anunoby before, Walkendian also talked with Lin Ying about which second-round picks can be selected.

Lin Ying also gave some lists at the time.

Then Walkendian's operation came, and he bought a mid-second-round draft pick directly with cash.

This wave of operations once again confirmed that this year's draft is indeed a draft year.

Then, Walkendian used that pick to get a forward they needed, or a swingman…

Dillon Brooks! (To be continued)
