Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

"You were right again in your prediction this time. I will treat you and Teacher Shu Qun to dinner tonight. You can choose any place in Sijiu City!"

"I really can't figure it out." Zhang Weiping shook his head and said.

"Then you can guess, what if you guess right?" Yang Yi said with a smile.

"Hey? This player is not bad!" Zhang Weiping suddenly picked up the player information and pointed to it.

"Jimmy Butler, does he look familiar, you two take a look?"

"Familiar? Then I'll take a look." Shu Qun leaned closer, frowning and took a look.

"Hey, don't tell me, this Butler is somewhat similar to our basketball god Jordan."

"Hey! Then I'll take a look too." Yang Yi also leaned over when he heard it.

"Don't tell me, this Butler's eyebrows really follow Joe's gang leader a little bit. Could it be that he is Jordan's illegitimate son who has been lost for many years?"

"Hahaha, don't dare to say that nonsense." Shu Qun hurriedly laughed and laughed.

"Okay, that's him!" Zhang Weiping said solemnly, pointing to Butler's photo.

"I guess the next pick for the Clippers is this guy who looks exactly like Jordan, Jimmy Butler!"

As soon as the voice in the studio fell, David Stern, who was on the draft scene, stepped onto the stage again.

"With the 2011th overall pick in the 29 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected...Jimmy Butler!"

"Hey! Director Zhang really guessed it right again!" Yang Yi laughed and patted the table.

"It seems that today's meal will be impossible if I don't invite me!"

"I've followed the NBA for so many years, and Director Zhang is the only one who let me down. I'm convinced, I'm convinced!"

Shu Qun clasped his fists together, and made a Resby gesture towards Director Zhang.

"I am ashamed of receiving it, I am ashamed of receiving it." Zhang Weiping also laughed happily.

"Then let's go to Huifeng Building tonight."

"Hehe, how do you say that?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.

"Who doesn't eat dumplings!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The scene of the draft meeting.

Gal Furman, the general manager of the Bulls, cut off his pen angrily after seeing the Clippers draft Butler.

"Damn! Why didn't I keep the 28th pick and pick Butler!"

The previous 28th pick was the pick that the Bulls got from the Raptors through a trade.

And this pick was previously traded by the Heat to the Raptors.

But the Bulls traded the No. 28 pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves reached a deal with the Heat again, using Norris Cole in exchange for the No. 31 second round pick belonging to the Heat and a future second round pick.

Good guy, after going around in a big circle, the No. 28 pick in the end still belongs to the Heat.

But after this circle, it seems that everyone has benefited.

Only the bull was injured.

Butler, who was originally favored by Gal Furman, was cut off by the Clippers.

Of course Yang Li knew that the Bulls wanted Butler. After all, this toughest man supported the Bulls' perimeter after Rose's serious injury.

But now, this man is mine.

Ah, no, there is ambiguity in this statement, it belongs to the Clippers.

The next last pick in the first round belongs to the Bulls, who had the league's best record in the regular season last season.

After Jimmy Butler was drafted away, they actually drafted Chandler Parsons.

He should have been selected by the Rockets with the 38th overall pick in the second round.

If we lose our horses, we can't know what a blessing is.

Although "tall, rich and handsome" Parsons is not as good as Butler in terms of hard power.

But he has the attribute of "communication grass", maybe he can attract a lot of high-quality foreign aid for the Bulls in the future.

After the first round, everyone is patiently waiting for the start of the second round.

At the same time, the Timberwolves directly put the No. 31 pick in the second round on the shelves and sold it to other teams.

After all, the current Timberwolves lineup is already complete, and the No. 31 pick is not very useful.

The more reason is that their boss is really stingy and wants to change some money.

Yang Li directly took out 400 million cash and bought the draft pick from the Timberwolves.

Things that can be solved with money are the best.

The second round of the draft began, and the Clippers made the selection first.

Yang Li did not hesitate to take this No. 31 pick to select Bojan Bogdanovic.

This swingman from a small European country.

For the Clippers at present, this position is absolutely redundant.

So Yang Li will definitely put Bo Yang in Europe for a few years to practice like in his previous life.

When the Clippers need him, they will negotiate a buyout with his European clubs and recruit him into the Clippers.

There is basically nothing to see in the latter selection.

With the 60th pick in the final second round, Yang Li decisively chose Isaiah Thomas.

This former core player of the Green Army, despite the system bonus, allowed him to play at the level of an All-Star.

But I have to say that the Clippers can also provide him with this soil.

No one should think that Paul George + Kawhi Leonard is no better than Jason Tatum + Jaylen Brown, right?

So far, the 2011 NBA Draft has come to a successful conclusion.

But soon, on July 2011, 7, the NBA lockout officially began.

During the lockout period, nba players will not receive salary.

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.

Teams also cannot hold any summer training camps, exhibitions, team meetings and coaching rallies.

In addition, nba team websites can no longer use the image of players, and players can no longer be used as representatives of publicity.

Well, that's all there is to it.

However, Yang Li has light sports.

This has nothing to do with the NBA league, no matter how much you shut down, you didn't say that you can't carry out brand promotion activities!

You stop yours, and I will directly start my brand activities.

Now Qingli's players are:

Dayao, with a lifetime contract, has his own personal series—the Yao series.

Curry is also on a lifetime contract, and his personal curry series has been developed to the second generation.

Harden, 10-year contract, Harden's second generation is also listed together with Curry's second generation.

Paul George, also on a 10-year deal, recently released the pickle generation.

Paul Millsap, Serge Ibaka, DeAndre Jordan, Jeremy Lin, etc., these people are all 5-year sneaker contracts.

This year, just after the draft, it entered a lockout period, which cast a shadow over the entire league.

After all, they really don't give money, and they can't use the venues for training.

It was just killing me.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Li directly doubled the lineup of Qingli's spokespersons.
