June 24, 2010 is the day when the NBA Draft is held.

Frankly speaking, this year is a standard draft year. The Washington Wizards, who hold the No. 1 pick, are rumored to be making a trade.

However, for the media, today is a memorable day. It will start the wave of summer transfers.

Everyone is waiting for the league structure to undergo earth-shaking changes this summer.

Those adrenaline-pumping tidbits have already made fans restless.

Hurry!

Let's make the transactions more intense.

Li Zhen was sitting calmly in the Clippers' draft war room, with Isiah Thomas sitting next to him.

Isiah Thomas finally made his move because he received confirmation from Li Zhen that Li Zhen would join the Clippers. And earlier, the league had announced that Jack Lee would become the second largest shareholder of the Clippers.

So, he decided to appear here as a consultant.

It doesn't matter if it's money or not, the main thing is to gain some fame here.

Anyway, the Knicks will now give him a pre-tax salary of US$12 million every year until 2014.

"Minnesota hasn't given accurate information yet?"

Li Zhen asked Thomson.

Thomson replied: "They are still hesitating now. They think the No. 3 pick may bring them a surprise."

Li Zhen turned his head and said: "Call the Pacers. It doesn't have to be the No. 4 pick."

at this time.

Jingle Bell!

The phone rang rapidly. After weighing the matter, the Timberwolves club agreed to a deal between the draft picks and Baron Davis.

Teams like the Timberwolves are destined not to attract superstars. Therefore, Baron Davis, the former All-Star, is still very meaningful to them.

Moreover, they really want to clear away the contract burden of parallel imports.

As a result, a deal was reached at the same time that David Stern announced that John Wall would be the No. 1 pick.

The Clippers sent Baron Davis to the Minnesota Timberwolves with the No. 4 pick and the famous second-place picks Darko Milicic and Damian Wilkins.

This deal is equivalent to the Clippers providing the young Timberwolves with an experienced former All-Star and locker room leader.

The Timberwolves provided a young No. 4 pick in the draft, plus clearing out two junk contracts.

When draft expert Chatford learned that the deal had taken place, he immediately announced: This is either a win-win deal, or a new attempt by two bad teams after they are tired of their own situations. Success or failure will not matter.

Important because it has no meaning.

As...the Clippers used the Timberwolves' No. 4 pick to select 20-year-old sophomore white guard Gordon Hayward, the teasing voices became even more harsh.

"I can't understand why the Clippers made such a choice. They could obviously choose Cousins ​​​​who has more potential. Monroe and Udo are also perfect options. Why did they choose a thin white guard? Not everyone

Anyone can be Ginobili."

Chatford was surprised on television by the Clippers' selection.

But soon, the focus of the discussion was blurred by a sudden and shocking transaction.

The Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks have reached a sign-and-trade agreement for Chris Bosh.

Chris Bosh successfully signed a six-year, $125 million contract.

The Knicks sent Zach Randolph and Matt Barnes.

This day has come.

This shocking trade was announced to the world, and the two-time championship winner began an unprecedented rebuilding operation.

Li Zhen was very calm when he heard the news.

Zach and Matt Barnes go to Toronto Raptors?

They won't stay there long.

Li Zhen thought so in his heart.

Sure enough, subsequently, the Memphis Grizzlies made a three-way trade with the Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors... In this deal that included 7 players and 4 draft picks, Zach Randolph went to the Grizzlies.

Matt Barnes went to Golden State. The Raptors got two first-round picks and $3 million in cash from the White Wolves.

The Raptors did not lose anyway.

They didn't take on any big contracts.

Golden State and Memphis also each have what they need.

Only...the two ambitious New York Knicks scolded the straight-faced thieves. Chris Bosh's contract is undoubtedly a huge salary burden, and it also means that whoever comes next will have to be equal to Bosh.

treatment.

Three billion-dollar contracts for one team.

In 2010, perhaps the New York Knicks, with their deep pockets, could afford it.

It doesn't hurt to sell my son Tian.

Isiah Thomas couldn't help but sigh when he heard the deal happened.

A great foundation and excellent salary space were wasted like this.

Chris Bosh, an All-Star who has never proven himself, can earn an average maximum salary of 20 million? Is Zach not better than him?

Li Zhen had already treated it calmly.

At this time, the Clippers also picked Paul George with the 8th overall pick.

When George learned that he had been selected by the Clippers, he was extremely excited. Although his first choice was the Los Angeles Lakers, they are still his hometown team after all. Being able to play in his hometown is every NBA player's dream.

However, this made Indiana's Larry Bird depressed for a while. He did not expect that the Clippers would intercept Hu. This was a player that Larry Bird was highly optimistic about!

So, he immediately called the Clippers to seek a deal.

But Li Zhen did not agree. Instead, Thomson asked him: "Are you interested in getting Chris Kaman?"

Chris Kaman is a standard center, and he still has an elite level.

So, Big Bird is very excited.

Since the Clippers were posing as a fire sale, a consensus was quickly reached.

The Clippers want Dengta Jones, a top-10 protected pick in next year's first round plus a trade exception of $4 million.

This is simply a great deal.

Larry Bird agreed without thinking and immediately announced it, fearing that the Clippers would go back on their word.

The Clippers regretted going back on their word.

The Clippers are now resolutely implementing Li Zhen's rejuvenation strategy. Old-fashioned, bulky and ball-dominating centers like Chris Kaman should be sent away as soon as possible.

And, most importantly.

Li Zhen always has a feeling that the 2011 Pacers draft pick is very valuable!!

But he didn't know where the value was.

All in all, the deal was done and announced quickly.

Immediately, Thomson, under the command of Li Zhen, sold the team's other center, defensive star Marcus Camby.

Soon, a buyer was found.

With Greg Oden once again in the operating room, the Blazers must prepare for a rainy day.

Marcus Camby becomes their best option on the draft market.

In the end, they sent point guard Blake, small forward Outlaw and 1.5 million in cash.

The deal was concluded quickly.

No one expected that on draft night, the Clippers would make the most trades. And... it was a super decisive way to start reconstruction.

Baron Davis, Marcus Camby, and Chris Kaman all three meritorious veterans were sent away.

Is this to clear salary space and compete for James?

There are a lot of speculations outside.

There was no response from the Clippers.

They randomly selected a power forward with the 57th pick to complete the final operation. This is dispensable to them, and they won't sign it anyway.

At this time, the Clippers' basic lineup has begun to take shape.

DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin, Eddie Griffin, Milicic...these are the four major insiders of the Clippers. These four have their own merits, and they are all talented players. They can currently maintain the league average.

Strength above the level.

The forwards and defenders are: Al Thornton, Dunta Jones, Outlaw, Smith, Novak, Hayward, Paul George.
