NBA: James wants to team up with me

NBA2010-11赛季总决赛结束的时间是第六场，2011年的6月12日，一周之后，NBA2011年选秀大会在新泽西举办。

In recent years, the league's draft has been held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The 2011 draft was regarded as a weak year for the draft, but from Wang Chong's perspective, this draft was also considered to be full of talents. There were many players with high value, including No. 11 pick Kyrie Irving. , Klay Thompson with the 15th pick, Kawhi Leonard with the 30th pick, and Jimmy Butler with the th pick are all superstar-level players.

In addition to these four people, there are also high-quality players such as Isaiah Thomas, the strongest 175 player on the planet, Kemba Walker, Nikola Vucevic, Reggie Jackson, and Chandler Parsons.

Overall the quality is really pretty good.

Among these players, Wang Chong’s favorite is undoubtedly Curry’s good partner Klay Thompson. The reason is very simple. As a scorer, Klay is simply the perfect championship puzzle piece and does not occupy the ball at all. The offense is completely based on catching and shooting without the ball. It is ridiculously accurate and its perimeter defense ability is also at the top level among guards. It is undoubtedly the most suitable for the Bulls who currently have Wang Chong and Curry. Shooting guard selection.

But unfortunately, there is no possibility for the Bulls to select the above extremely high-ranking players. As the Bulls themselves have the first regular season record and the championship in the playoffs, there is no doubt that the first-round pick is The last one is the 30th pick in the first round.

It is basically impossible for the Bulls to obtain draft picks within the lottery area through trade. After four consecutive championships, the Bulls have become the public enemy, and no team in the league will easily do so. Trade your players and draft picks to the Bulls, because this kind of behavior of subsidizing the enemy is very likely to allow the Bulls to continue to win the championship, and other teams still have no chance to get ahead.

Of course, if the chips offered by the Bulls are high enough, it can still make many teams interested. For example, if the Bulls use Curry and Gasol as chips, they will definitely get a high-ranking first-round pick, but Wang Chong couldn't possibly do that.

Therefore, the only top star that the Bulls can securely obtain is Jimmy Butler, the 30th pick in the first round, who should have been selected by the Bulls.

This season, Wang Chong once consciously asked Marcus Thornton to collect data as much as possible and average good data per game, in order to gain his bargaining value as a player.

Thornton averaged 12 points per game in the regular season. Considering his age advantage, he can make many teams excited.

But the possibility of trading him for some big fish players does not exist in Wang Chong's imagination. No one is a fool. Even if a substitute player performs well, his value is limited to that of a substitute player.

Before the draft started, Wang Chong asked the general manager to tentatively ask for prices from various teams in the league, but the offers he received were all unsatisfactory. The team that offered the highest bargaining chip was only willing to use a second-round pick plus a second-round pick. The same substitute role player will be exchanged with the Bulls.

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Chong to accept this kind of offer. It means nothing to them. Rather than that, it would be better for Thornton to stay in the Bulls as a substitute. Although his future ceiling is not high, he can still do it in the original 11-12 season. A scorer who averages 18.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, at least he is a good immediate player on the bench.

He actually understands why other teams are unwilling to give higher chips.

With the Bulls' current salary situation, it is definitely impossible to renew Marcus Thornton's contract after his rookie contract ends. At that time, they only need to offer a price that is too high for the Bulls to afford, and they can easily give him away. The Bulls steal Thornton here.

As a second-round pick, Thornton signed a 2+1 contract with the Bulls and will become a restricted free agent after the 11-12 season.

So even if they wait, they will only have to wait for another year at most. Why should they be anxious?

The plan to trade Marcus Thornton was ruined, but Wang Chong was not too disappointed because even if Thornton was not traded, there was a high probability that he would be able to get his target in the draft.

At least in the original 2011 draft, except for the Bulls, no team in the first 29 teams was interested in Jimmy Butler.

Jimmy Butler is not a player with particularly outstanding potential and talent. He has been underestimated in various ways since he entered the professional arena.

Being selected with the 30th overall pick in the first round of the draft is actually no different in value from a second-round pick.

After being selected by the Bulls, he worked hard for three years before finally becoming the team's main force. He averaged 20+5+3 All-Star numbers per game and got a big contract, but he was still looked down upon and used as a bargaining chip. He was sent to the Timberwolves and 76ers successively, but both teams were unwilling to extend Butler's contract with the maximum salary, believing that he was not qualified for the maximum salary.

It wasn't until Butler joined the Heat and led the Heat to the Finals twice that his strength finally began to be truly recognized, even though Butler and the Heat failed in both Finals.

In terms of talent, Butler once had an impressive poster standing side by side with Leonard.

Although the two are close in height, Leonard's wingspan is more than a little longer than Butler's. When hanging down normally, Butler's hand only reaches Leonard's wrist.

For the sake of safety, before the draft, the Bulls, under Wang Chong's instruction, did not show any interest in Butler. They even spread all kinds of smoke bombs during the team's trial training and invited many players to participate in the trial. But Butler was not invited to the training.

Wang Chong felt that the Bulls should have no problem using the 30th overall pick in the first round to acquire Jimmy Butler, and he also prepared for the worst.

If the Bulls fail to select Butler, they can try to use Marcus Thornton as a bargaining chip to trade with the team that selected Butler. If necessary, add one or two second-round picks or even a first-round pick. no.

Butler's draft prospects are not very promising. The draft template is only Maurice Evans, a blue-collar bench player with 6 points and 2 rebounds in his career.

When the Bulls make a generous offer, even if they know that the Bulls' move must have a purpose, there is a high probability that they still cannot resist the temptation of trading chips.

If this still fails to win Butler, then Wang Chong will have no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

The second-round pick in 2011 also has a good forward player, that is Chandler Parsons.

In the future, Chandler Parsons will be notorious. He is a typical bad player who takes money and does not work. He is dubbed as "the money will make you afraid of things".

But having earned a total of 1.27 million US dollars in his short career, Chandler Parsons is definitely not a waste without any ability.

In fact, his career with the Rockets can definitely be regarded as a high-quality and inexpensive striker.

Comprehensive technique, outstanding athletic ability, not afraid of confrontation, and very active in defense.

At his peak, Parsons averaged 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. He was an absolutely excellent starting player. Considering his status as a second-round pick, the price/performance ratio should not be too high.

Of course, the playboy character who immediately failed after getting a big contract destined the length and height of his career.
