Welcome to 567 New York! It's draft time again!
“How much management is there for other teams you are in contact with now?”
Zhou Si did not answer immediately and asked Orsey.
Orsey smiled bitterly and turned on his phone.
The careful Zhou Si has discovered that he has already changed his phone into flight mode.
Take a look at Olsey's call history.
Luke Walton (General Manager of the Lakers), Angie (General Manager of the Celtics), Presti (General Manager of the Thunder)…
The management lists of the other twenty-nine teams all appeared in Orsey's mobile phone call records.
"You are a sweet bun. The other twenty-nine teams now want to hold guns against my forehead and ask me to agree to trade you to them!"
"The Warriors and the Cavaliers also want to trade me?"
Zhou Si asked curiously.
According to his idea, if the Blazers leave by themselves, their strength will decline. They are the most likely team to win the championship. Moreover, they have led the team to defeat them many times in recent years. Aren’t they afraid that their players or fans will have any opinions?
General Manager Orsey sighed again and said,
“On the contrary, these two teams have the strongest willingness to trade.
After all, they can be said to be the team that knows the best you can be except us.”
As he said that, General Manager Orsey looked at Zhou Si with resentment.
“And, the management of both of their teams said there is no non-sale product in the team…
Curry, Durant, James, Irving...
In other words, they are willing to pay everything to trade you.”
Zhou Si nodded when he heard this, and this intention was really strong.
It seems that he will choose the next stop.
Although many teams Zhou Si didn't consider it, it was still very comfortable to be valued so much.
"What about the team's opinion?"
Zhou Si asked as he looked at Orsey.
“Reject all transactions!”
General Manager Orsey said without hesitation.
Zhou Si said with a wry smile,
"Mr. Olsey, don't do this, I really want to hear from the team."
General Manager Orsey sighed again and said,
“Mr. Paul Allen has previously told me that you have the full authority to decide your next stop.
His opinion is the team's opinion."
Zhou Si didn't expect that Paul Allen was thinking about him so much before leaving, and expressed his thoughts with emotion.
“To be honest, I haven’t made a complete decision yet. I need to wait until the free market opens and meets several teams before making a decision.
But don't worry, I will try my best to exchange for the team's high-quality resources so that the team's road to winning four consecutive championships will not be affected too much because of my departure.
Also, I should choose a team that has no history of winning the championship before and completely rebuild it.”
General Manager Orsey nodded.
Zhou Si was indeed as he thought, and even if he was about to leave, he would consider them.
"By the way, I will help the team give suggestions at that time."
General Manager Orsey nodded again.
Jokic, Josh Richardson, Siakam.
Among the three players Zhou Si suggested to choose, Jokic has been proven to be a superstar;
Although Siakam is almost there, he can reach the All-Star level as long as he keeps working hard;
Although the worst Josh Richardson is not well-known in the league, General Manager Orsey, who has seen him training, knows that even if he can't make it to the All-Star in the future, he can still reach the quasi-All-Star level!
You know, none of these three are lottery shows!
Therefore, General Manager Orsey has always trusted Zhou Si's draft vision.
...
"Butler asked to be traded, and multiple teams are interested..."
"The Knicks hope to trade Anthony, and they are interested in it..."
Although the NBA clearly stipulates that teams and players cannot contact in advance before the free market is opened, some rumors are still constantly released.
It’s just that unlike the crazy pursuit of superstars in previous years, the rumors market this year is a bit weird. Although there are contacts, no team has made specific promises.
All teams are waiting for that man’s decision!
...
On June 24, the 2017 NBA Draft was once again held at the Barclays Center, the Nets' home court.
The Nets' previous draft pick was selected as the No. 1 pick, but in a trade between Pierce and the Wolf Kings a few years ago, they traded the sign to the Celtics.
So, this night is quite a bit of a wound and salting for them.
By the way, what hurts Nets fans even more is that their first-round draft pick next year is also on the Celtics...
They have neither present nor future...
So, when Zhou Si entered the main venue, he heard the full court, "The Nets need you!" and "The Nets welcome you!".
Although the Nets meet some of Zhou Si's requirements for his new owner, everything has to be concluded after the free market opens.
In addition to "The Nets welcome you!", "The Knicks welcome you!", and "The Bulls welcome you!", there are also many voices.
One is another team in New York, the world's number one metropolitan city, and the other is Chicago where Zhou Si has been.
They also seem very fanatical about chasing Zhou Si!
Zhou Si didn't want to scatter the crowd and didn't respond, but just silently sat down on his seat with Ye Qin in his arms.
Next to Zhou Si, his old acquaintance, McGrady.
He is here to stand up for his disciples!
In McGrady's words, the other two top picks, Lonzo Ball and Jason Tatum, although they are not bad, they are far inferior to his disciples!
During this time, McGrady also asked Zhou Si’s plans for the future, but Zhou Si downplayed the topic.
Zhou Si is at the forefront now and doesn't want to reveal too much information.
Because of Zhou Si, General Manager Orsey experienced the feeling of being the stars supporting the moon and then used the No. 30 and No. 60 draws that were the same as those in the previous two years to the No. 17 draws of the Thunder!
In the words of Thunderball management,
"A draft pick makes friends with the Trail Blazers, it's worth it!"
According to previous trial records of the Trail Blazers, outside media and other team management believe that the Trail Blazers hope to use this draw to choose TJ Leaf from UCLA, John Collins from Wake Forest University or OG Anunobi from Indiana University.
These three are the best power forwards outside the lottery show, and they are indeed players that the Trail Blazers are more urgently needed.
At the draft, TJ Leaf, John Collins and OG Anunobi were all full of energy!
If they can be seen by the Trail Blazers, even if they cannot be selected by the Trail Blazers, as the Trail Blazers draft is becoming more and more recognized, their draft picks are likely to rise by several places!
This is not only a false reputation, but also a concern for their salary and tactical status!
Looking at the three people in the limelight, the other rookies of the same class were full of envy.
Even many lotto shows in Green House want to replace them as the goal of becoming the pioneers.
Although there is news that Zhou Si is leaving the Trail Blazers, Lillard and Jokic are still popular to win the championship.
Isn’t it good to be a player with four consecutive championships in the rookie season?
Moreover, Portland has become a basketball holy place in the hearts of many young players.
Playing in such a place will definitely make you feel great!
