Chapter 782 One meal operation is as fierce as a tiger, but it's just an appetizer
A team that is tossing around usually has several characteristics: random trading, unexplained drafts, and "why did you go?" operations.

Starting from the sixth overall pick this year, "blind tossing" has appeared frequently.

For example, the Mavericks, who had the eighth pick in the first round, believed that they could get the cornerstone of the team at the sixth pick, so they made a decision to exchange the eighth pick for the sixth pick.

There is no reason for people to give up their pick without getting any benefits, so the benefit the Mavericks give to the opponent (the Nets) is a protected future first round.

The Nets declined, then agreed to the Washington Bullets with the ninth overall pick.

The plan given by the bullet is the ninth pick + the ninth pick in the second round.

The Nets think it is acceptable.

This is tantamount to telling others that this year's second round is more valuable than a future protected first round.

Afterwards, the Bullets showed everyone what an unknown draft was.

With the tough point guard in Avery Johnson, they took another small guard with the sixth pick, Oregon's Terrell Brandon PG.

As a player who has received the attention and praise of many people, Brandon was once one of Louis' key observation objects.

But he had two flaws that made Louis think less of him.

One is height, he is only 180 cm;

The other is the style of play. At this height, there is no stable shooting.

What is outrageous is not that he was selected, but that he was selected with the sixth overall pick, and some teams deliberately traded their ninth overall pick to the sixth overall pick in order to "cut the barbarian", for fear of being preempted by others.

Could it be that without a trade, Brandon wouldn't fall to the ninth pick?
That's just the chaotic part of the 1991 draft, and the many changes since then have been dizzying.

From the sixth pick to the tenth pick, all transactions occurred.

Luke Longley went to the Nuggets with the seventh pick, and another upset, Greg Anthony to Cleveland with the eighth pick.Similarly, the eighth pick was also traded by the Cavaliers.

What they do is no different from bullets. They are all through transactions to ensure that the people they fancy can come to their teams.

But Louis felt that even if they didn't make that deal, someone they liked would come.

In short, it's just tossing, as if not tossing, I'm sorry for the talent in this draft.

The Sonics selected Brian Williams (Brian Williams C/PF) with the ninth overall pick. For Chinese fans, he may be more familiar with his other name-Bison Dele, an important inside rotation for the Bulls in 1997. As a talent who was predicted by scouts when he graduated from high school, he progressed slowly in college.At the same time, he has a psychological problem, so he is more like a lottery ticket. If he wins, he will win, but if he does not win, he will not lose much.

The Celtics with the No.11 and No.13 picks are in a dilemma.

They originally wanted to select one or two available guards in this draft to fill the vacancy left by Thomas, but who would have thought that the Cavaliers and the Bullets had such a serious illness?

First of all, the Celtics decisively used the eleventh pick in the first round to select the top five favorite Doug Smith (Doug Smith SF/PF) who fell unexpectedly.

The 1991 draft class was exceptionally talented, with top talent at every position.At the power forward position, Larry Johnson is recognized as the first, while Smith is ranked second.He has unstoppable athleticism, quickness to play small forward and a soft jumper.

Why does such a person fall to No.11?

Because Louie's words lowered his pick.

Smith played on the US team last year, and his performance was so bad that Louie's scalp tingled.When someone asked Louis about Smith's prospects in the league, Louis replied: "He has a high probability of becoming a bubble. Talent is very valuable, but talent alone is not enough. He can't even bear the intensity of the European level. How can he fulfill his potential in the NBA?"

It is this sentence that makes the teams daunting.

Louie is a professional sports manager with outstanding achievements in draft history. Looking at the draft history of the Knicks in recent years, he has almost never picked a waste product.

Such people say that Greg Smith will become a bubble. Who can guarantee that he will not become a bubble after entering the NBA?
The Celtics, who had no guards to choose and urgently needed three or four swings, did not hesitate to use the No.11 pick in the first round to win Doug Smith.

With no good guards to choose from, the Celtics, who were worried about how to deal with the [-]th pick, completed a deal with the Miami Heat who took the initiative to come to the door.

The Heat sent star guard Maurice Cheeks to Boston in exchange for the Celtics' No.13 pick in the first round and the No.20 seventh pick in the first round.

The Heat's deal was not within Louie's expectations.

He didn't know that Lewis Shafier was going to work.

Louis did not expect to trade Cheeks for the 95th pick, and he did not expect Shafier to make a risky move because he once said that "Dale Davis' rebounding ability is better than [-]% of NBA centers".

The Heat took Davis with the pick, adding depth to Hank Geithers' bodyguard.

After succeeding, Shafier excitedly called Louis' home.

At that time, Louis no longer paid attention to this year's draft.

He naively assumed that everything worthy of attention was already on television.

Until Shafier told him that starting with the sixth pick, the draft was like a group show with chaotic editing, and it became a mess.

Especially when Shafier mentioned that he sent Cheeks to Boston for the No. 13 pick in the first round and took Dale Davis, Louie was dumbfounded.

"You traded Murchis for the No.13 pick in the first round?"

"Coach Lu, you don't know that this year's first round is several times more expensive than a normal draft year."

"Even if it's worth several times more, it's not enough to trade Murchis for a non-lottery first-round pick." Louis said helplessly, "You know that Murchis is the most needed reinforcement for the Celtics. They lost Isiah and have no reliable point guard. There is no good guard who can fill this role among the remaining players in the draft class. Murchis can organize and defend the No. [-] position like this. It is an excellent reinforcement for them. How can you be satisfied when you only get the [-]th pick in the first round?"

"Actually... I also made them spit out that the No.20 seventh pick in the first round is the one they traded from New York. Coach Lu, do you want this pick? I'll sell you."

Shafier's tone and tone made such an image appear in front of Louis' eyes.

One didn't expect, "So I still lost money in this deal? No, I can't let other people see it, and shut up this smart guy." Then he proposed to sell back to the Knicks at a low price in the first round of the Knicks trade to Boston.

"We don't need it, you can figure it out yourself!"

Louie didn't want to do this kind of "you put this here and this here" type of transaction.

"Coach Lu, who can I choose for this position?"

"Aren't you very capable, handle it yourself!"

After all, Louis hung up the phone.

If Isiah Thomas' trade returns Steve Smith, Doug Smith and Maurice Cheeks, it's not too bad for the Celtics.

Cheeks is past his peak, but his technical characteristics are more suitable than Thomas for being a porter for Green Kai's Sampson and Bird.

Steve Smith is the second shooter the Celtics desperately need. He is like an all-round evolution of John Long.

And the Doug Smith lottery ticket.

Louis judged that there was a high probability that this person would not be able to play, but if he went to the Celtics who are good at cultivating players, who can say for sure?
If these reinforcements are effective, it will also affect the legacy of the deal Louis made with the Celtics some time ago.

The Knicks traded all of this year's first rounds for Chris Jackson and the Celtics' two future first rounders.

Shafier, a smart bastard, strengthened the Celtics by tearing down the east to make up for the west, and it also made Louis very uncomfortable.

After trading Cheeks, will the Heat have a point guard?
Who are they going to start at point guard next season? BJ Armstrong?It seems that it is not impossible.

The Heat used the No.20 seventh pick in the first round to select the athletic guard Randy Brown (PG Randy Brown) with the best physical fitness. At this point, the various drafts will be considered over.

On the second day after the draft, Louie was about to inform Baylor to start an early contract extension to prevent changes.

The talented player that the Kings just won with the second overall pick, Billy Owens, a combination of tragedy division and Bird, announced in a high-profile way: "I don't plan to sign with the Kings, nor will I go to Sacramento."

"It was so lively yesterday, but it was just an appetizer?" Louis scratched his chin, thinking about how to fish in troubled waters.
