The lottery pick is finished and the first round continues.

In the 16th pick, the Kings challenged Hidutkoglu.

The offense is a little bit of a problem, but the defense is a little bit meaningful. In the future, I will become a member of the King's Bench bandits.

In the 17th pick, the Supersonics chose Desmond Mason.

The dunk king in 2001 was a very powerful sport and attracted the attention of fans.

In the 18th pick, the Clippers took Quentin Richardson.

The nickname is Ah Q, but it doesn't sound good, but it is the future three-pointer.

With the 21st pick, the Raptors chose Morris Peterson.

A member of high-quality 3D.

24th pick, Di Shaun Steventy.

In the 29th pick, the Lakers chose a Mad Dog, Mark Madson, with a really good vision.

Entering the second round, there are really no strong people. The rookies at this draft are really bad.

The only amazing thing is that there are the biggest beads in the second round.

Li Mu used the 31st pick from the Mavericks to choose Michael Reed.

By the way, in the rookie prediction, Reed has hope of being selected by the top 20 picks.

During college, Reed was amazing.

In his freshman year, although the team was a bad one, Reed scored 21.9 points and became the first freshman scoring champion.

During his sophomore year, Reed and Payne led the team to the NCAA Final Four.

He averaged 19.5 points per game and became the second-year scoring champion.

To be honest, at this time, Reed should take the opportunity to participate in the draft.

I guess I'm lucky to be able to squeeze into the lottery show, at least it's the first round.

However, this person has no problem with his appearance.

His face is too difficult to remember.

As a result, during his junior year, his condition plummeted, with only 13 points per game, his performance was mediocre, and his appearance was mediocre.

Two "medium" almost made Reed loser.

In Li Mu's previous life, the Bucks did not want to choose Reed with the 43rd pick, but because of their own choice, they were selected by the team ahead.

So, I hurriedly looked through the rookie and found that, huh, who is this person, I am a little familiar with it, and it seems that I have a strong score.

In desperation, he had to barely pick Reed back.

Who would have thought that this "regular" choice would have chosen the strongest rookie in this class.

At its peak, Reed averaged 26.7 points per game, and he was known as the strongest gold left hand.

After choosing Reed, Li Mu had no interest in the next draft.

Soon, the 2000 draft ended.

After a hurry to say hello to Mike Miller, Li Mu and general manager John Gabriel immediately flew back to Orlando.

Next is the main course, the Magic need to recruit superstars.

The only good news now is that McGrady is willing to join the Magic.

By the way, McGrady averaged 15.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.9 blocks per game last season.

The rookie contract ends, and in addition to the Magic, there are also the Bulls and the Heat, which are competing for McGrady.

In the end, McGrady chose to play in his hometown team.

On July 1, the transfer market opened, and McGrady signed a contract with the Magic and received a maximum salary contract of $93 million for 7 years.

Next, Li Mu also proposed the list of players he needed.

There are two main ones.

Li Mu just proposed the first one, but Gabriel hesitated and said to Li Mu.

“You want Jermaine O’Neal?

Let’s not talk about this player’s strength?

I feel that we should do our best to win Duncan and make other reinforcements."

As the general manager, he did not want to violate his promise to Li Mu, but everything must be of importance.

Compared to Tim Duncan, other players are insignificant.

Li Mu shook his head, "We cannot put all hope on Duncan.

He is different from McGrady.

The Spurs certainly won't let Duncan leave.

Moreover, Duncan himself may not leave the Spurs.

It's not sure, Duncan is willing to contact the Magic, but just wants to raise the price.

It is not appropriate to focus on Duncan."

"O'Neal Jr. is different. He has no chance at all on the Trail Blazers.

He wants to leave and prove himself.

Moreover, although the Trail Blazers are optimistic about O'Neal's potential.

However, they are busy competing for the championship now and don’t care about cultivating rookies. They need to fight immediately, they need the present, not the future.

With the salary outsized next season, they will definitely be happy to sell O'Neal Jr."

In the 98/99 season, O'Neal Jr. averaged less than 9 minutes per game, scoring only 2.6 points and 2.8 rebounds.

In the 99/00 season, the average game became 12 minutes, with only 4 points and 3 rebounds per game, which is a perfect marginal person.

The annual salary is not low. After the rookie contract is over, O'Neal Jr. can get an average annual salary of 5 million yuan.

As a result, O'Neal Jr. only contributed this score.

In the Trail Blazers, with Radsh and Bryan Grant on the power forward, O'Neal Jr. will always choose the third choice.

Even, they have to be lined up behind Schramff.

Because O'Neal Jr.'s mid-range shot has not been practiced yet.

Schramf, who can shoot on the field, looks more likely to open up the offensive space.

Duncan is the core of the Spurs' offense and defense. The Spurs are short of money, but if they sell their money, they will renew their contracts, which is impossible to make concessions.

In Li Mu's previous life, the Pacers got O'Neal Jr. and continued to survive, with only strong strength but not weak.

The Magic cannot sign Duncan, it is best to waste the good fortune of rising.

Therefore, Li Mu was not very enthusiastic about Duncan.

As long as O'Neal Jr. is intercepted in advance, the Magic will have hope and break out from the east.

Of course, only by winning Duncan can you compete with the Lakers for the championship. Li Mu is still confused about this.

"Well, the Magic will take O'Neal Jr.

But Stephen Jackson, this player, is a bit redundant!"

Gabriel doesn't even look down on O'Neal. With his eyes, how could he look down on a player like Jackson and a not-famous player?

Moreover, his reasons are very sufficient and reasonable.

"Next, the Magic will also sign Grant Hill, Gamady, rookies Mike Miller and Michael Reed. In addition, you will also leave Mageti. Don't you think the Magic's forward guard is a little crowded?"

Hill, McGrady, Miller, Reed, Margeti, and the 5 strikers looked a bit too many.

Li Mu didn't think so.

It is not a random piece of paper to choose Jackson.

He can't say that McGrady and Hill are so unreliable and cannot fight tough battles, right?

I also like to be injured. With the two of them here, it is difficult for the Magic to reach the end.

“It’s natural that I have a reason to sign Jackson.

His contract is not high, he can get it with just two years' minimum salary.

And Jackson is very versatile, can play 1, 2, and 3 positions, and has both offense and defense. The Magic need such a panacea player."

“…”

Gabriel was picking on the thorns, but he did not refuse Li Mu's request.

After all, the management has promised Li Mu, and Li Mu has not interfered in the formation of core players, but only a few marginal players, so this little face is still to be given.
