the rest, only noise

Chapter 1037 It's Cleveland

After that, the option came to the Bulls.

It is actually a good start to get the second pick in the first year of poor performance, but there are not many choices left for them.

It can even be said that there is only one choice.

The choice left for them is Brigham Young University's bamboo pole leader Sean Bradley.

Bradley is often overlooked when we talk about giants who are over [-] meters tall with extraordinary speed and athleticism.

From these two points, he is on the same level as Sampson, but Sampson is 30 pounds heavier than him.

Some people say that he is the biggest bet in professional basketball after Billy Owens.

Just being involved with Owens doesn't bode well for any player on the verge of entering the league.

The Bulls didn't move, and while Bradley was 95 to 5 (95% vs 5%), they couldn't afford to miss a potentially great center.

Therefore, Bradley was selected with the second overall pick, without any surprises.

Compared with other players, Bradley's speech is the most surprising place.

This probably has something to do with his wasting his talents to go to Australia to preach for two years.

The famous reporter Greg Sager asked Bradley: "Everyone is discussing what you can do in the NBA. You could have come to the league two years ago. Now how do you make up for the lost time?"

"I think it's going to be a long process. I mean, it's going to take time, but I've got to work really hard, start from scratch, and stay healthy."

"What do you think of your athletic ability? We've seen your game highlights and know how tall you are, but how do you evaluate your own talent?"

Bradley's answer is a classic, and Louie strongly recommends that all seven-foot centers copy it.

"I'm just a 7-foot-6 kid who loves to play basketball."

This is of course a joke, but it is a joke that makes people feel more relaxed.

He went on to say, "I feel like being able to play a lot of team sports as a kid was a lifelong experience. I love playing basketball and I want to go down that path and try to be the best I can be."

When people talk about the two years he wasted in Australia, Bradley's answer is also respectful: "I would not trade anything for the missionary experience. It is the most precious thing in my life."

He may not be a great player, and it is difficult to realize his talents, but he is a good guy.

"A lot of big guys give me a feeling that they can't use their brains, but this white kid is quite smart." Baylor said.

Lao Mo's consistent mocking attitude towards this rookie made him say: "Being able to speak nicely about scenes does not allow him to play a center forward in professional games."

Louis glanced at Zhao Yuanzheng: "Is there no call?"

"So far, not yet." Zhao Yuanzheng said.

Just when Louis felt strange, the call came.

Louie motioned for Baylor to take the call.

"Hello, I'm Elkin." Baylor said skillfully, picking up the phone.

Baylor then clutched his phone and said, "It's Nellie (Nelson)."

Louis flipped his palms lightly, motioning for Baylor to continue chatting.

"What's the matter, Nelly, it's your turn to choose now, isn't it?"

"Ah, give me a minute."

Baylor put down the phone and said directly: "They want to trade the third pick."

"Hey guy, didn't you say that Anfernee completed the best workout ever, and Nelly doesn't even want it?" Lao Mo must have prejudiced against this rookie, "I guess he didn't use a chicken to bounce the ball into the basket."

Louis asked, "What does he want?"

"Sean and all the picks we have, they're going to use William Bedford to balance the amount."

Baylor asked inexplicably: "Who is this William?"

Zhao Yuanzheng replied in seconds: "Benj's classmate, he was the fifth overall pick that year, but his progress was not smooth, and he never realized his talent."

Louie wasn't interested in the deal.

"Nellie, thank you for your kindness, but we really don't need any William Bedford."

Louis wants to trade Sely, but others are playing Kemp's idea.

He suspected that Nelson had come to tease him on purpose.

With the third pick but no shot, Nelson seems to have no choice but to choose Anfernee Hardaway.

It's really a "difficult" choice.

"Don Nelson once said after Penny's workout that he had never seen that performance in any workout, and now, he has successfully brought Penny back to Golden State."

"I think they're going to have some trouble."

"Tim Hardaway, Gary Payton, Anfernee Hardaway. Too many ball handlers."

This is why Nelson is tangled.

Doesn't he know how good Hardaway is?Of course he knows, but how to distribute the ball rights of the Beatles and Gloves is enough to give him a headache, and now there is another penny known as the second generation of magicians.

The deal between Webb and Penny never happened, which completely changed the trajectory of their careers.

Judging from the results of Louis' previous life, there was no winner in that deal.

Webber went to Golden State, which was eager for him, but was unwilling to play the fifth position under Nelson.He feels that he is a number four, and the task of number five is too heavy.

A notable characteristic of children who grew up in the AAU era is excess self-awareness.

They emphasize individuals and don't pay attention to the team. In addition, they signed super-large contracts when they first entered the league, and there are even various strange clauses in the contracts.Webber helped that Warriors team to 50 wins and then wanted to leave.Unlike those players locked in rookie contracts in the future, although Webber was also on a rookie contract at the time, he had a second-year jump-out clause—yes, there was a second-year jump-out clause in the rookie contract. The reason was that the Warriors did not have enough salary cap space.

This ruined Webber's career, playing in Washington in the 90s, like the top rookie in Japan's dark world chose to debut in F agency.Both institutions have a reputation for squandering talent.

At the same time, Penny shined in Orlando, reached the Finals with the Sharks, became the most undoubted Jordan successor of that era, and seemed to have every chance to dominate the first decade of the new century.Then, when O'Neal left in the summer of 1996, Penny's body couldn't support the strength of a single-core team, and then he died, falling like a meteor.

Judging from the results, the result of the deal between Webb and Hardaway was extremely bad.

Now, that deal hasn't happened.

Pence went to the Warriors, and Webber went to the Magic.

Two 75-level players are about to usher in a new chapter in their careers.

Now, the history of the league will have some more questions.

Will the Sharks still leave in 1996?Could Webb be Batman's Robin?Can they challenge the Knicks for the throne in the next few years?

As for Penny, he will undoubtedly replace Tim Hardaway, learn how to play alongside Payton, Richmond, Hu Weidong, and Gatlin, and shine in Nelson's system. He has every chance to become the top 35 or even the top 25 players in NBA history.

After winning the Warriors, Nelson did not wait for the ball holders in the team to form a table to play mahjong, but decisively initiated a transaction.

He contacted Orlando.

The reason why the Magic once wanted to get Hardaway was that besides the Sharks, they also had a quasi-All-Star insider Ronnie Sekali, but the combination of the two towers between him and the Sharks was too slow, which seriously affected the rhythm. Now that they got Webber, Sekali was tasteless to them.

The Magic need a good point guard and a ball-handler at critical moments, and Tim Hardaway can meet this urgent need.

The two sides hit it off.

The Magic sent Ronnie Secali and the 1995 and 1997 first-round picks to Golden State in exchange for Tim Hardaway.

Selly was still in Louie's hands.

Some teams wanted to prostitute for nothing, but were roughly sent away by Baylor.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, holding the fourth pick, gave everyone a job.

There are two options in front of them. Jamal Mashburn, who was born in a prestigious school, has made great achievements in college and was praised by Rick Pitino as "a humble young man who is very willing to accept guidance."Able to play three and four, can play low post, and can also pull out to shoot, with a range beyond the three-point line of the NBA. He is an offensive kaleidoscope and the standard core of team building;
Another option is Isiah Ryder, a UNLV native who became the top offensive machine in college basketball under coach Jerry Tarkanian, averaging 29 points per game in his final season.Ryder is the kind of player rebuilding teams like, who can make an immediate impact and sell tickets even if they don't win.But UNLV in the Tarkanian era often produced problem players, because the school had a bad record in recruiting, and Ryder was even more of a problem player among problem players.

He has no sense of responsibility, doesn't like training, has a lot of trouble off the court, and has a history of beating his girlfriend.

Cavaliers: I can choose a humble young man who can do three things and is willing to accept guidance as the core of our team, but I don't!
They selected Isiah Ryder with the fourth pick in the first round.

This made the Spurs, who held the fifth overall pick, overjoyed. They selected Mashburn without hesitation, and announced with a red face as if they had picked up a big bargain: "We will build a very competitive team around Jamal."

The Mavericks selected Vin Baker with the sixth pick in the first round.

The Nuggets selected college basketball Player of the Year Calporte Chaney with the seventh pick in the first round.

The Minnesota Timberwolves selected Rodney Rogers PF/SF with the eighth pick in the first round.

The ball hit Louis' feet all at once.

"This" Louie asked in confusion, "Bobby Hurley PG is no one?"
