I'm Really Playing Basketball Chapter 442

Chapter 445'Humble' Jordan!

Chen Xiao returned to Charlotte from Miami after congratulating Yao and Wade on winning the championship for a few days in Miami.

When Chen Xiao returned to Charlotte from Miami, it was already June 24, which was only 4 days before the opening of the NBA Draft.

At this point in time, the rookie training camp of the Charlotte Bobcats is of course over.

The reason why Chen Xiao did not go directly to New York but returned to Charlotte is mainly because the transactions of several players of the team hosted by Jordan have also entered the final stage.

First is the trade of Louis Williams. This trade is very simple. The Blazers will use their first-round No. 7 pick this year in exchange for Louis Williams.

Everyone is a circle of friends, the price is reasonable, of course it is directly agreed.

So, the deal has been finalized, but it will be announced during the draft.

After all, Jordan's draft reputation is too great. If everyone knows that Jordan wants to trade the top picks, doesn't it mean that Jordan has very promising players in this draft?

In fact, the NBA has never had an impenetrable wall.

Although the deal between the Bobcats and the Trail Blazers has not yet been reported, many NBA general managers already know that Jordan has won the Trail Blazers' seventh pick.

"I think Jordan traded this pick to continue to trade upwards. Jordan's goal is to get the top three picks in order to get the No. 1 pick!"

"Michael Jordan is very optimistic about Morrison, he is looking for a bargaining chip for Morrison!"

I have to say that from the previous news reports, as long as IQ is not a problem, people can guess what Jordan wants to trade up for the pick.

In addition, Jordan used Monta Alice to trade with the Warriors, also for the upward draft pick.

And the deal with the Warriors involves more teams, and it's even more impossible to hide it.

Jordan wants the No. 1 pick, this is to ensure that Morrison's pick can be obtained.

Chen Xiao does not understand Jordan's dedication to Morrison, but respects it.

After all, Morrison is also a B-level rookie. This ability is not bad. If there is a future, the future will be really good.

So after completing the deal with the Blazers, Jordan used his existing two chips for the No. 14 pick and the No. 7 pick to start trading up.

The goal is the top three, first of all, the supersonics with the top pick, but the general manager of the supersonics, Rick Sander, is not very satisfied with Jordan's strategy of changing zeros.

To be honest, the Sonics is not a completely rebuilt team. This team is capable. Okafor and Rashard Lewis are all good candidates. They are not candidates for the big masters. So, for the Sonics In other words, what the Sonics needs is not to accumulate talent to pick rookies, but to find a big boss.

Obviously, for the Supersonics, Jordan's 7+14 for the No. 1 pick is not that attractive.

And the Warriors' No. 4 pick, Jordan, was unable to change.

The Warriors want Monta Ellis, but the No. 4 pick directly trades Monta Ellis, the Warriors are not willing.

The Warriors feel that the No. 14 pick of Monta Ellis + Bobcats can be exchanged for their No. 4 pick.

In this case, Jordan will of course have to drag it first for the time being.

Until the dust is settled in the upward transaction, no chips can be sent out first.

Although Rick Sander, the general manager of the Supersonics, has been rejecting Jordan, Jordan has been trying to convince Sander. For Morrison, Jordan's ability to do so surprised Rick Sander, so Rick Sand After Jordan's efforts for his No. 1 pick were told to his friends, the entire NBA knew how'humble' Jordan was in order to get Morrison.

For a time, Morrison's value skyrocketed instantly.

Why did Riksander want to talk about Jordan's pursuit?

of course is to increase the value of the top pick.

Only the greater Morrison's value, the greater the value of the No. 1 pick in his hand.

I have to say that there are still many smart people among NBA general managers.

And Boss Joe is very upset about Riksand's behavior of using him as a price-boosting tool.

You are like this, how can I get my beloved Morrison?

Of course, from the side, Rick Sander's behavior also lets Jordan know that the Sonics with the No. 1 pick is not interested in Morrison.

This also gave Jordan hope.

As long as the Sonics does not find a suitable bargaining chip before the draft, and then do not want Morrison's Sonics, he will definitely find him again and trade down.

So Jordan feels that as long as he gets the second pick in the trade, he also has a chance to get Morrison.

Because of the pursuit of Morrison, Jordan's licking of Riksand has become news.

For giving up his 'dignity', Morrison's behavior is required, and Chen Xiao's courage in respect is very curious.

"Michael, do you want Morrison so much?"

Although Chen Xiao also thinks Morrison is an excellent young player, is it necessary for Jordan to be like this?

"Chen, Morrison will be like you, becoming the most important symbol of the general manager's career!"

Good fellow, this evaluation is simply against the sky.

Jordan really believes that Morrison can grow into Larry Bird in the future!

So, after getting Jordan's heart, Chen Xiao didn't care about it anymore.

Just go and toss Jordan.

However, Jordan will still respect Chen Xiao's decision-making power when tossing.

For example, when trading the No. 2 pick with his old club, the Wizards hope to get the Bobcats' substitute insider Blatche.

Blatche did not get the chances of Luis Williams and Monta Ellis last season, but in the few appearances, Blatche still showed great potential.

The Raptors also want Blatche, even willing to make two first rounds.

In the current NBA, there are very few insiders who can shoot and control the ball like Blatche.

For the Wizards, Blatche's partner Kwame Brown is very suitable, who can open up space for Brown and pass the ball to Brown.

Blatche is not a very important player in the team, but Jordan will respect Chen Xiao's opinion when any player of the Bobcats is going to stay.

Therefore, Jordan will not send the Bobcats away without the support of Chen Xiao.

In the end, Chen Xiao agreed after thinking about it a little bit.

Let's put it this way, Blache's role in the Bobcats is a bit redundant. What he can do, Chen Xiao can do, and what Chen Xiao can't do, he can't do.

And other styles of play are also externalized, shooting is also unstable, and you need a lot of ball rights. You need so many ball rights. I will give Chen Xiao the right to digest it. Isn't he more fragrant?

So Blatche can only be a substitute for ten thousand years in the future of the Bobcats, in terms of rotation time.

And this is why Jordan is willing to use Blatche as a bargaining chip.

This is an excellent young man, but not suitable for appearing on the court with Chen Xiao.

And Jordan is now looking for players who are suitable to appear on the court with Chen Xiao.

Only the more players and types appear on the court with Chen Xiao, the more possibilities the Bobcats have.

When Chen Xiao hit five, Blatche couldn't hit four.

When Chen Xiao hit four, Blatche couldn't hit five.

This won't work.

After Chen Xiao agreed to let him go, Jordan traded Blatche and the No. 7 pick from the Blazers for the Wizards' second pick.

After Jordan got the second pick, the trade with the Warriors became easy.

The Warriors want Monta Ellis + the No. 14 pick in exchange for their No. 4 pick, because the No. 14 pick is now no longer a bargaining chip, so this trade will no longer be a problem.

Finally, the Bobcats and the Warriors reached a deal, and Monta Alice + the No. 14 pick in exchange for the Warriors' No. 4 pick.

After Jordan's fierce trade this summer, the Bobcats used their No. 14 pick + Monta Alice + Louis Williams and Bula to switch to the No. 2 and No. 4 picks of the 2006 NBA Draft. right.

I don't say whether these transactions were successful, but they were indeed changed from zero.

Jordan was very active during the period before the start of the draft, and perhaps the most active general manager in the entire NBA.

His activity can be said to be the cause of Morrison.

Originally Morrison was the favorite to compete with Guy, Aldridge and the others for the No. 1 lottery, but he was the only candidate who was brought to the No. 1 lottery by Jordan.

After all, in the original words of Supersonic General Manager Rick Sander.

"None of Wonder Boy made Jordan so humble!"

This is indeed true.

So, after Jordan pushed Morrison's prices up to such an extent, the SuperSonic No. 1 pick is really going up.

Ricksand originally thought that Michael Reid of the Bucks had come to exchange for his No. 1 pick, so he should have agreed, but later, Michael Reid was replaced by Pierce of the Boston Celtics!

Which is better, Pierce or Reid?

It's hard to say, Reid is a popular small fresh meat, Pierce is a small fresh meat from the previous wave, and now it's a little dried and some dried meat.

But for the SuperSonics, which is only looking for a big boss, of course Pierce is more suitable!

Even if the two are about the same strength, Pierce has been the boss!

So, after being forced by the Celtics' celebrities, Danny Angie finally traded Pierce for the No. 1 pick.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with trading Pierce.

After all, Danny Angie has been trying to trade Pierce.

But who is the No. 1 pick from the trade Pierce? This is a big question.

The celebrities of the Celtics must choose Morrison who is stamped by Jordan to make Jordan 'humble'.

But Danny Angie doesn't know who to choose.

This year's rookies, he doesn't like any of them.

It should be said that he feels that no one of this year's rookies is worthy of the No. 1 pick.

Pierce can trade for the No. 1 lottery, which is a profit, but the 2006 No. 1 lottery is a loss. It should be used to trade the 2007 No. 1 lottery.

It's just that, Angie doesn't want to think about it, you want to take advantage, and others don't want to suffer. For the No. 1 pick in 2007, you are stupid.

Everyone is staring at the big man!

In short, although the 2006 draft was a draft year, the trade war surrounding the 2006 draft was still undercurrent.

Not to mention that the Celtics finally completed the second pick deal with the Sonics, let's talk about the Houston Mosaic.

Mosaic's general manager Dawson is very optimistic about Washington University guard Roy.

In Dawson's plan, Roy and Jie Williams' double guards will become the best guard combination in the league.

So, Dawson, who has been trading Francis since the beginning of last season, finally traded Francis this time.

Mosaic traded Francis to Atlanta, one of the headquarters of the alliance.

As Francis who graduated from the University of Maryland, this can be regarded as returning to his own turf.

Mosaic used Francis to trade for the third pick in order to pick Roy.

Roy's current draft pick is almost around 10, so this draft pick is still a bit high for Roy.

The always savvy Mosaic felt that it seemed a bit of a loss to pick Roy with the No. 3 pick. After getting the No. 3 pick, he tried to trade down.

So, in the offseason before this year's draft, Jordan and Dawson were the busiest.

One is for upward trading, crazy operation.

and the other one is trying to trade down.

I have to say, this is indeed quite interesting.

Chen Xiao has been listening to Jordan's selection of candidates for this draft since returning to the Bobcats.

Because Jordan got the No. 2 and No. 4 picks this time, both of these picks are very high.

So, the question of candidates is very important.

The second pick is already for Morrison.

So the problem of the team's second goal in the draft.

Jordan hopes that the team's second goal is to choose a power forward with speed and height.

Randolph is great, but the weight is too big, the speed is a little slow, and the height is not enough~www.mtlnovel.com~ In addition, the team's substitute insider Blatche is traded, so Jordan hopes to use the fourth pick. Come to an inside, that Bargnani is very good.

It seems that the "Bird value" is also very high.

However, Chen Xiao hopes that the team's fourth pick, the second player of the team, can choose Roy.

He thinks Roy's strength is good, and his attributes are also very good.

"Michael, I think we can play Ilya Sovatore from the Development League next season to the fourth position. Gortat and Amir Johnson are also very good. We have plenty of candidates for the post.

I feel that we are now missing a guard who is different from Chris. After I play inside, I can play singles outside, which can relieve me of pressure. "

After some discussion, Jordan finally respected Chen Xiao's ideas.

The Bobcats have a lot of inside reserves, and next season can give those players more opportunities.

After determining the team's draft pick, Chen Xiao and Jordan can look forward to the 2006 NBA Draft.
