Chapter 334
Although the two deals of the Magic did not get very good reviews, the league is also looking forward to what kind of players the Magic will choose with their own picks.

On the second day, when David Stern announced the start of the draft on stage, even the boos from the audience were much smaller.

"With the first pick, the Orlando Magic selected guard Allen Iverson from the University of Florida."

The choice of the Magic did not cause much discussion, not to mention the good relationship between Davis and Iverson, with Iverson leading the University of Florida to win the NCAA championship with a perfect record, and being elected as the final MOP.

Iverson walked out of the small green room directly, with a calm face, as if he knew that the Magic would pick him with the No. [-] pick.

He put on a Magic hat and stepped onto the stage to give a speech.

"Michael DeWeese is the most important person in my life besides my mother. He has completely changed my life. What I can do now is to help him win one championship after another until he can't take it anymore."

Davis stood up from the audience, and Iverson walked over to give him a big hug after stepping off the stage.

"The second pick, the Golden State Warriors, selected forward Joe Smith from the University of Maryland."

The No. [-] pick in the previous life, the well-known yin and yang contract spokesman, Joe Smith, this life was snatched away by Iverson, who played early, and could only be ranked second.

"I think my strength, no matter in that year, should be the No. [-] pick. I don't know what is the point of some teams deliberately trading the No. [-] pick to pick someone. I will use my strength to prove that I am the real No. [-] pick this year."

As soon as Joe Smith said this, the audience was in an uproar.

Davis and Iverson were chatting. After hearing what Joe Smith said, they narrowed their eyes at the same time.

This is basically pointing at the Magic's nose and calling the Magic a bunch of blind people for picking a 1.8-meter-tall guy. . . .

"Allen, when you meet him on the court, you know what to do."

Iverson nodded and stopped paying attention to the idiot on the court.

"The third pick, Philadelphia, selected Jerry Stackhouse from the University of North Carolina."

DeWeese couldn't help laughing as he watched Stackhouse walk up to the stage.

"Michael, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing."

The famous background board, or on the NBA stage. . . .

However, his offensive strength is still quite strong, with a career-high average of 29 points.

"With the fourth pick, the Washington Bullets selected forward Rasheed Wallace from the University of North Carolina."

Roaring Tianzun finally made it to the NBA stage. In the NCAA, the combination of him and Stackhouse was actually very strong. Unfortunately, he met Buddha University in the knockout round and was directly crushed out.

"The fifth pick, it's the Orlando Magic's turn, and they have five minutes to make a choice."

Davis gave an order, and the envelope was delivered directly to Stern.

However, after waiting for 5 minutes, Stern opened the envelope that was already in his hand.

The field was surprisingly quiet, and everyone was waiting, wondering who the Magic wanted with the fifth overall pick that they worked so hard to trade for.

"With the fifth pick, the Orlando Magic selected forward Kevin Garnett from Farragut High School."

There was another uproar in the audience. After Rodman was traded away, the Magic should strengthen the inside line, but Antonio McDyess, who has proved himself, is still sitting in the small green room. He should be stronger than Garnett in every aspect.

However, DeWeese's vision in the draft is there, and no one can say that his choice is wrong, so more people are looking forward to the new season in a few months.

However, one thing is almost certain, that is, next season's Magic will definitely lose its dominance.

Almost half of the team was sold in exchange for two draft picks, and two short, short, and small rookies were selected, plus the absence of their absolute core Davis.

Some people are even discussing whether O'Neal will lead the team with a "single core" next season and whether the Magic can make the playoffs.

With the sixth pick, the Vancouver Grizzlies took the "relict jewel" Antonio McDyess.

The Toronto Raptors acquired Damon Stoudemire.

With the tenth pick, the Miami Heat took Kurt Thomas.

With the [-]th overall pick, the Nuggets took "White Men Can Fly" Brent Barry.

With the [-]th pick, the Cleveland Cavaliers picked up Bob Sura, Yao Ming's teammate in the Rockets.

"With the No. 20 pick, the Orlando Magic selected Michael Finley from the University of Wisconsin."

DeWeese watched with satisfaction as Finley put on his Magic hat.

"Will someone call this team the Cosmos team in the future?"

Regardless of whether it is the Cosmos team or not, anyway, the Magic team next season will give other teams a big surprise. . . .

The current lineup of the Magic, except that there is no backup center, other positions have become perfect.

Center: Shaquille O'Neal.

Power forwards: Kevin Garnett, Antonio Mason.

Small Forwards: Robert Horry, Michael Finley
Shooting guards: Klay, Allen Iverson

Point guards: Van Exel, Steve Kerr.

Klay should be swung to small forward, let AI play shooting guard, or directly play double point guard with Fan Maniac.

Horry can swing to the power forward position, while Finley is a small forward and point swing.

Together with Davis, who is still recovering from his injury, these ten people basically form the main lineup of the Magic.

However, DeWeese is not satisfied. The average age of this lineup is too young. Only Cole is slightly older, and the average age of the others is less than 23 years old.

Davis has someone's idea.

Los Angeles, Beverly Hills.

DeWeese rang the doorbell of a mansion.

"Little Michael, come to me so mysteriously, what's the matter?"

A tall black man stepped out.

"Erwin, let's go inside and talk."

The man in front of him was DeWeese's master, "Magic" Elvin Johnson.

The two entered the room and sat down.

DeWeese wasn't planning to mingle with Magic.

"Ervin, are you interested in making a comeback?"

Johnson's face changed.

"Are you kidding me? I've been retired for so many years."

Davis looked at Johnson with a half-smile.

"But you maintain such a good shape, you really don't want to be an old guy enjoying retirement at home, but more like a star who is ready to play."

"But I'm almost 240 pounds now."

"None of those things, and you don't need to play point guard now."

Johnson raised an eyebrow.

"Where do you want me to play?"
