The invincible kryptonite of basketball

It wasn't that the envelope he took was wrong, or that he wanted something special at the last moment, but that Robinson, a rookie, was very special.

As a top 10 high school student in the United States in the past, he has the top physical talent inside and can shoot three-pointers.

Especially with his wingspan, he averaged an astonishing 6.3 blocks per game in high school, and dunks with flat baskets and volleyball-style blocks are not uncommon.

After graduating from high school, he was also admitted to the prestigious University of Kentucky in NC.

According to the normal way, he should play well in Kentucky, become a lottery pick or even a top-five rookie and enter the NBA.

But this guy's way is not normal.

When he first graduated from high school, he first chose Texas A&M because he wanted to follow his favorite head coach Rick Stansbury.

Stansbury was an assistant coach at Texas A&M at the time, but then moved to Kentucky, and he followed suit.

It's just that in July, because his godfather and Kentucky assistant coach Sam Williams left school, he also wholeheartedly sought to transfer.

But in the end, he directly gave up the opportunity to play NC because he had to be a ball supervisor for a year when he transferred to another school.

After that, he hired a trainer himself and conducted closed training to prepare for the NBA draft.

From an ordinary person's point of view, his choices from beginning to end are really stupid.

While he was training at home, the draftees at his level gained valuable tactical and game experience in the college league.

And he missed the joint tryout before.

This is also the reason why the original Top 10 high school students, the centers with explosive physical talents, have never been selected.

But Tang Tian is a time traveler, he knows Robinson's talent, and he strongly recommends it in front of Dempsey.

So Dempsey can be said to have no hesitation when he chose.

One guard and one center, the Pelicans' draft this year can be said to have completed the task.

But Dempsey is still waiting.

A good habit he has developed over the past few years is to take the list given by Tang Tian and wait for them to be selected one by one.

If you have the opportunity, you can try to use cash or future draft picks to fight for it.

He waited until the end of the draft this year.

When he reached the 60th pick, he found that there were still people in the list given by Tang Tian who hadn't been selected.

Without hesitation, he started directly.

"With the 2018th overall pick in the second round of 60, the New Orleans Pelicans chose Alonzo Trier, a 1-meter shooting guard from the University of Arizona."

"This is the end of this year's draft. Thank you for everyone's participation. Thank you."

Tatum's assistant announced the last draft result of this year, and also announced that this year's draft is over.

The draft is over, but the number of discussions on social media has suddenly increased.

The reason is that it has something to do with the last player selected by the Pelicans.

Generally speaking, the 60th pick is just a formality, even if it is selected, there is a high probability that it will not be signed.

But this Alonzo Trier has as much story as Robinson.

If you go back to 2015, Trier was the player who was predicted to be selected with the 17th pick in the first round of the draft.

But because of a drug test problem, Trier was directly suspended for three years, and he was not able to officially participate until this year.

If it weren't for the Pelicans, he should have lost the draft directly.

This is also completely reasonable.

Even if you were once talented, but you haven't played an official game for three years, it's really unbelievable to be selected.

But this is also the benefit of the traveler. Tang Tian knew that Trier was a Crawford-style player with good abilities.

And in history, he once averaged 11 points per game as a two-way contract player, and won the largest contract in history, 2 million in 700 years.

It is not a small gain for the Pelicans to pick him up in this position.

With 2 guards and 1 center, Demps walked out of Madison Square Garden smiling.

The 2018 NBA draft has officially come to an end, and popular rookies have also become the focus of discussion among fans and the media during this period.

However, the general managers of each team, at the moment the draft ended, began to shift their work focus to the upcoming free agent market.

James, Durant, George, Butler, Walker, Jokic, Cousins, Jordan Jr., Capela, Aaron Gordon...

This is definitely the craziest free agency market of the decade.

As long as the basic skills are done well, there is even a chance to turn from a belly to become a favorite to win the championship.

Although the league clearly stipulates that before the free market door opens, players and teams must not contact or even mention it.

Like Lakers general manager "Magic" Johnson, he was fined more than once for suggesting that James might come to the Lakers.

But no one knows how many private exchanges there are.

So the alliance at this time, like the calm sea, is actually already undercurrents.

Dempsey was already in a state of desperation.

The Tang Tian clause is the result of exchanges between the top leaders of the league, but it really has a great impact on the Pelicans.

If both Walker and Butler leave the team in the end, the strength of the Pelicans will plummet.

And even if he really can't keep it in the end, he must find a way to bring back useful assets for the Pelicans by signing first and then changing.

The opening of the free market is getting closer and closer, and rumors are gradually increasing, and several of them are worthy of attention.

The Warriors have already said that no matter how big the contract is, or what the hard salary cap is, they will keep Durant.

The Oakland media also revealed that Durant will most likely choose to stay with the Warriors.

One is related to Durant, while the other is related to James.

According to multiple media in Los Angeles, it is only a matter of time before James joins the Lakers.

The first thousand and 180 chapters of the 2018 NBA free agent market

These two news are heavy, but also very interesting.

Because one of the news broke was from the media in Oakland, and the other was from the media in Los Angeles.

The person involved cannot speak out at this time, and there is no way to know the true and false news.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is June 6, and it is only one day before the door of the free market opens.

Demps is going crazy now, because judging from his private contacts with Walker and Butler, both of them will jump out of the contract to test the free market.

They also have no clear attitude on the issue of renewing the contract with the Pelicans.

His idea is to keep at least one of the two people.

This is also the most ideal result.

But this matter has not been determined before the door of the free market opens, which is obviously not a good thing.

Tang Tian couldn't get through on the phone, Dempsey directly bought a plane in the Caribbean Sea, and then went to the local area to find Tang Tian according to the information he had collected one after another.

The sun is shining and the sea breeze is gentle.

Holding Olsen in his arms, Tang Tian enjoyed the wonderful holiday time under the sun umbrella by the sea, drinking fruit drinks and enjoying the gentle sea breeze.

Putting aside all the things in the NBA, it is really a kind of enjoyment for Tang Tian, ​​who has traveled through 7 years.

But this enjoyment was soon broken.

Because he turned his head inadvertently, and caught a glimpse of a man in a white T-shirt running towards him waving.

Dempsey.

This guy actually came to the Caribbean Sea.

"Elizabeth, wait for me here."

Tang Tian didn't want the holiday to be broken, so he got up and walked towards Dempsey.

"Tang, I have been unable to contact you, and no one has answered the phone."

Dempsey ran to his side panting heavily, and said anxiously.

"Oh, I might have left my phone in New Orleans."

Tang Tian seemed to suddenly remember and said.

Not long ago, he had officially announced that Carl became his new agent, and the endorsement and other matters had been handled by Carl.

So he didn't bring his cell phone.

More than half of the reason is that I don't want Demps to contact me.

On the one hand, I want to spend a quiet holiday with Olsen.

On the other hand, he used his toes to know that Demps would find himself because of Walker and Butler.

In private, he had acquiesced in Walker and Butler's departure, but it was impossible to tell Demps this kind of thing directly, so he had to hide.

"Don, we are in trouble! Jimmy and Kemba may both leave the team in the new season, and our strength will decline a lot!"

Sure enough, Dempsey didn't care about why Tang Tian's cell phone remained in New Orleans, but directly talked about the current situation in a hurry.

"They can do whatever they want, and we can't keep them all."

Tang Tian said calmly.

"what?"

Dempsey thought he had heard wrong.

"Dell, calm down, with me and AD, New Orleans will still have a fourth championship, Kemba and Jimmy want a bigger stage, let them go, they have already sacrificed one for the Pelicans It's season."

Tang Tian wanted to reach out and touch Dempsey's head, but instead he patted Dempsey's shoulder and said.

Dempsey looked at Tang Tian for a while, and after savoring it carefully, he realized Tang Tian's attitude.

He is very obedient, but not stupid, Tang Tian is acquiescing to Walker and Butler to leave.

"I think we should keep at least one of them so we don't lose too much."

He understood, but still said what he thought.

"The league has a hard salary cap, and the salary space will explode for up to two years."

Tang Tian replied directly.

The Tang Tian Clause really hit Baotuan hard, and it is impossible to have three super giant super teams.

"No, and it's worth it, two years, even one year is worth it."

Dempsey replied immediately.

"Now the team only has two big contracts, you and AD. In the draft, we can test our own draft to support the rotation, and take a step back, when the salary is really out of control, we can also trade Kemba or Jimmy. Walk."

Dempsey's being by Tang Tian's side for the past two years is really not for nothing, and the plan he said is also the best.

The Pelicans have now completed their dynasty, even if they stay for one year, it will be four consecutive championships.

Moreover, Tang Tian's draft vision is too good. Any middle-class player he wants, like Bo Yang, can be replaced by Siakam.

The Big Three plus rookies, even with Tang Tian's clause, the Pelicans can last forever!

Tang Tian didn't speak immediately.

From Dempsey's point of view, these words are completely correct, and his thinking is also very reasonable.

But on the one hand, his draft eye is almost up.

On the other hand, he didn't want Walker or Butler to sacrifice again, and after the sacrifice, he was finally traded as Demps said.

"Dell, what do you want to do with these things? You can do it. I won't interfere. You should have known my attitude before."

After being silent for a while, Tang Tian spoke.

Dempsey looked at Tang Tian for a while after listening, and finally nodded.
