I'm really good at shooting.

This also means that it is actually the Bucks' decision to choose Walker, and it is the Warriors' decision to choose Thompson.

As for the trade between the two teams, it was obviously also to avoid the Kings, who also aimed at the three-point shooter.

When Sun Hao saw this again, he unconsciously froze again.

This draft conference is really full of twists and turns.

But in this way, Curry is temporarily staying.

seems not?

Not choosing Walker is not a direct replacement for Curry, but according to the previous analysis of fans and the TNT Big Three, a major premise for the Warriors to choose Thompson is that the Warriors may give up Oden or even trade Curry.

Thinking of this, Sun Hao finally couldn't sit still, picked up the phone and prepared to call Mu Lin.

After all, Curry is his eldest nephew, so he needs to know about Curry.

But as soon as he picked up the phone, the phone rang first.

It was Mullin calling.

It seems that there should be no time for the negotiation before, and now that the negotiation is over, I came to talk to Sun Hao immediately.

Sun Hao answered the phone, and what Mu Lin said was similar to what he guessed.

The Warriors did have the idea of ​​​​sending Curry, and selected Thompson, just waiting for Bell to retire, and Thompson can just top it.

"We think it's a good thing for Steph, he has a chance to be an All-Star here, but we think his upper limit is more than that."

What Mullin said was well thought out by management.

Curry's shooting talent is too suitable for the Warriors, but the salary space is a problem they have to face.

And it is true that because of Sun Hao in the Warriors, Curry cannot fully redeem his talent.

"If you really want to send it, send it to the most suitable team."

Sun Hao made the only request after coming to the Warriors.

Although Curry's upper limit is suppressed, he must also see what he has learned in the Warriors in the past two years, which will also benefit him a lot.

For another team, it is entirely possible for Curry to play explosively like Harden.

The premise is that it must be the most suitable team for him.

Mullin would naturally not object, but it would take some time to operate.

After Sun Hao made the call, the draft had reached the 18th pick at this time, and the Wizards selected Kawhi Leonard at this pick!

Sun Hao was taken aback for a moment.

But soon, a transaction was displayed on the screen, and the Spurs replaced Leonard!

Before Sun Hao had time to feel that Yao Ming finally had a chance to return to the finals, he vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

But this wave is actually quite normal.

The abilities of each team's draft team also have their own emphasis. The Thunder are good at high-position picks, while the Spurs are low-position Taobao.

In history, it is true that Leonard was traded to the Spurs by the Pacers, but in fact, the deal had already been reached before, and the Pacers just replaced the operation.

Now the Wizards should also play a similar role.

As for the number of places dropped in this pick, it is also related to the early arrival of the small ball era.

Having the opportunity to develop does not mean that it will definitely be developed.

Leonard now looks more like Tony Allen, so it's no surprise that he dropped the pick.

In the eyes of Sun Hao, a traveler, it was somewhat embarrassing.

Because Yao Ming may miss his last chance to win the championship.

The draft is still going on, and Sun Hao also continues to watch.

Now there is another player worthy of his attention in the first round is Jimmy Butler.

It's not a question of whether the Warriors can be selected.

It is true that the Warriors hold the No. 30 pick, but they still have to trade up to get Butler.

The Bulls have previously revealed that they are interested in Butler.

The contract of Richard Hamilton on the Bulls has expired. If there is a choice, the management may not renew the veteran.

Butler was known for his hard work in college, coupled with that face that resembles Jordan, it is a perfect substitute.

This is also the upward trade mentioned at the beginning, because the Bulls hold the No. 27 pick.

If Butler really went to the Bulls, it would be good news for Yi Jianlian.

The personalities of Paul and Butler are quite compatible. Counting Bosh, this lineup is enough to fight against the Knicks in the East.

And it's interesting to say that if the Bulls really stop the Knicks in the East, the Big Three in New York may stand at the top of the historical shame column.

Really the hardest way.

"A deal happened."

When the draft reached the 24th pick, Stern announced a trade early this time.

The Lakers sent starting point guard Louis Williams to the No. 24 pick and future second-round pick from the Magic.

The idea of ​​this transaction is very clear.

The Lakers have already selected Knight, and Williams is making way for Knight.

As for the Magic, after the team lost in the playoffs last season, the relationship between Howard and the management has become very poor.

Well, this doesn't sound like the right logic, it's Howard's current logic.

He feels that the team has not done a good job of strengthening in the past few years, especially Lewis's [-] million yuan signing directly locks the future.

Coupled with the existence of the two super teams of the Knicks and the Bulls, he feels that he has no bright future in the Magic.

That is to say, at this time, the atmosphere of the next house has not been designated, otherwise Howard would already be on the shelf at this time.

Now the Magic team is making the last effort to keep Howard by exchanging the future for the reinforcement of the present.

"With the 2011th pick in the first round of the NBA in 24, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Jimmy Butler, a 2-meter shooting guard from Marquette University."

call!

When Sun Hao saw this choice, he was inexplicably relieved.

Butler is not well-known in universities, and Marquette University is not considered a prestigious school. Before that, only one Wade was produced.

The Lakers can intercept Hu Butler, this year's draft work is really good.

Sure enough, Phil Jackson is still not suitable to participate in the management's decision-making. With his departure, Kupchak's ability has returned.

Knight, Butler, Carter, Millsap, Hibbert, although this lineup has no chance to compete for the championship, there is still a chance to return to the playoffs.

Although leaving the Lakers was a bit unpleasant because of Phil Jackson and Jenny Buss, time can dilute everything. So many years have passed, Phil Jackson has left the Lakers, and Sun Hao doesn't care about that anymore.

Now seeing that the Lakers are getting better and on the right track, he is naturally happy.

The Bulls didn't get Butler, so they had to settle for "Little Kobe" Marshan Brooks in the end.

Judging from the selection, they are ready for Hamilton to leave the team.

The first-round draft is over soon.

In the second round, Sun Hao focused on the two draft picks.

The Warriors took Joan Leuer with the 39th pick and then Isaiah Thomas with the 60th pick!

These two waves of selection reflect West's selection vision.

White Chocolate re-retired after winning the championship, and now the Warriors have a vacancy on the back line.

Originally, if Jeremy Lin is a free agent now, the Warriors may open the window to cooperate with him again.

But now that Jeremy Lin is playing so well in Houston, it is naturally impossible.

The Warriors supplemented the inside line first, and then the outside line. This wave of operations went smoothly and there was nothing wrong with it.

Of course, like Jeremy Lin last year, Thomas may not be able to stay in the Warriors, because the Warriors have no shortage of people to hug their thighs, and the free market that follows is the highlight.

At the end of the draft, the Warriors acquired Klay Thompson, Leuer and Thomas, and the operation was very impressive.

However, Sun Hao was not very happy because of the fact that Curry would be traded.

He was going to talk to Curry after his vacation in Los Angeles.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of June. According to the NBA's practice in previous years, as the free market door is approaching, various rumors are already flying in the sky.

But this year, what is flying all over the sky is not rumors, but about labor negotiations.

The two sides simply cannot talk together now.

According to the current trend, the shutdown is inevitable.

Based on this matter, once the free market is suspended, it will automatically close, so the rumors will naturally disappear.

This also makes a lot of time stop unconsciously.

For example, Sun Hao's contract extension with the Warriors, such as Curry's transaction.

On July 2011, 7, after 1 hours of continuous negotiations between labor and management, the NBA officially entered a suspension.

The impact of the lockout is direct and huge.

After the lockout, players will not receive salaries, and NBA teams cannot negotiate with players, nor can they sign and trade players.

At the same time, players cannot use the team's training facilities for any reason, and the team cannot hold any summer training camps, exhibitions, team meetings, and coaches' gatherings. The NBA team website can no longer use the player's image, nor can it use the player as a publicity representative.

Or in more direct terms, the lockout will cause a large number of NBA-related staff to temporarily lose their jobs, and even some NBA players will face serious financial crises.

Because for many players, playing is their only income.

The shutdown has cost them no income, but their expenses will not be reduced.

In order to survive, many players already plan to go overseas to play.

This includes Deron Williams, who suffered another "58 tragedy" last season.

It is rumored that he will go to Turkey to play because the team there is willing to provide a good salary and has an "NBA jump-out clause", that is, if the NBA lockout ends, they can return to their home team as soon as possible.

Many players also plan to play in China.

The basketball influence brought by Sun Hao, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and others is huge, and the current domestic basketball market is far larger than that of the same period in history.

Sun Hao knows that this year in history will be suspended, but such things as profit distribution cannot be controlled by personal power.

He is even less interested in the business negotiations involved.

On the contrary, the suspension is not entirely a bad thing for him.

He can think about what happened to Curry.

Just the day before he was about to end his vacation and return to Auckland, Sun Hao suddenly received an unexpected call.

The call was from Kupchak.

After leaving the Lakers, Sun Hao didn't have much contact with the Lakers management, and the few contacts were with Kupchak.

So getting a call from Kupchak itself wasn't a surprise.

But the surprise was what Kupchak said on the phone.

Old Bath's health deteriorated rapidly, and now he wants to see Sun Hao.

This matter was completely beyond Sun Hao's expectations.

If he remembered correctly, old Bath had at least two years to live.

Now it seems that it should be the early children's struggle that exhausted old Bath.

Don't underestimate the mood, especially for cancer patients.

The good or bad mood will determine the length of life to a large extent.

Sun Hao had no reason to refuse such a request. After explaining to Scarlett, he went directly to Old Bath's manor by car.

The old Bass family was in the backyard of the manor, including the children of Bass Jr. and Jenny, as well as Kuochek who had called him before.

He walked over and greeted all the acquaintances he knew, and then he saw Old Bath.
