Super Lord of the Rings

The 2012 NBA Draft will be held in Madison Square, New York, on the 29th.

Wang Jun was waiting in front of the TV. The king would have a deal today. Before the draft started, they had already sent their second-round pick to the Pistons.

The Pistons went through a major purge last season. There is nothing in the team that is not for sale and they need rookies to rebuild.

A small tidbit appeared at the venue. David Stern came out to give a speech, which aroused boos from the audience, especially after he once again congratulated the Kings on becoming NBA champions, the boos were even stronger.

New York fans were all looking forward to James joining, but he ended up with the Kings. The Big Three of the Knicks played badly, and the fans were envious and jealous.

This is no wonder Stern. With the situation of the Knicks, how could the smart James go? It will definitely be worse than when I was with the Cavaliers. Apart from its good location, New York has nothing attractive about it. The team management spends money indiscriminately and the lineup is unreasonable.

Let James go to the Knicks to replace Anthony, and the situation will not be much better than Anthony.

Stern didn't feel dissatisfied at all when he heard the boos. Instead, he put his right hand in front of his right ear, imitating the players' habit of listening to applause, with a smile on his face, which shows that the president has a relaxed attitude and a thick skin.

Stern pretended to be calm, but he was feeling irritable in his heart.

He hopes that a super strong team will appear to attract fans, but the Kings are too strong and will make fans lose their sense of expectation for victory or defeat.

To make matters worse, he can't think of any team that can compete with the Kings this summer, and there is nothing he can do to prevent the Kings from further strengthening. With the current attractiveness of the Kings, there must be many veterans who are willing to take a salary cut to join and compete for the championship.

The Hornets' record is not the worst, but they won the No. 1 pick, which makes people suspect that there is manipulation behind the scenes in the league.

In April this year, NFL Saints owner Tom Benson bought the Hornets, which was under NBA custody. The purchase price was US$358 million, which was not too cheap, and the league had to give him a little sweetener.

After trading Paul, the Hornets' star player is the bearded James Harden, and the insider is Derrick Favors. Now, the Hornets have selected Anthony Davis, the boy with thick eyebrows.

Together with point guard Devin Harris and Robin Lopez, who was traded from the Suns, the Hornets have a promising future. In addition, they can select another first-round pick, and the pick comes from the Nets.

The relieved Davis stood up and put on his Hornets hat, then hugged his family, relatives and friends, as well as his mentor, Kentucky coach John Calipari.

Then he took the stage with steady steps and shook hands with Stern.

During the interview, Davis appeared humble yet domineering. Talking about the Hornets, he said he would listen to the coach's advice and strive to become an All-Star player in the future. He didn't say he wanted to be the leader of the team. The Hornets' two core players are now high-ranking picks, and seizing power cannot be expressed verbally.

However, the raised eyebrows that looked like the McDonald's logo still betrayed his ambition.

The Wizards selected Michael Kidd-Gilchrist with the second pick.

This is a strong, athletic small forward modeled after Iguodala and Gerald Wallace.

The Bobcats had the worst record in history and only got the third overall pick, which was a bit unlucky. They chose Dion Waiters. The template is a bit miserable, it's Dominic Jones and DeShawn Stevenson.

Although his physical fitness is good enough, he is 193cm tall and is not a point guard. Therefore, no one is sure how he will perform when facing those 198cm tall guards with outstanding physical fitness that can be seen everywhere in the NBA.

Jordan just doesn't believe in evil and thinks he can become the next Wade.

The Cavaliers selected Bradley Beal with the fourth pick, who is also a 193CM shooting guard and attacker. The template is Eric Gordon.

The Cavaliers boss knows that James wants to come back and has begun quietly building a lineup. This is a talented shooter who is suitable to partner with James. They won't choose a small forward, just let Garcia support him.

The Raptors selected Thomas Robinson with the fifth pick, a short inside man with excellent athletic ability.

The Trail Blazers selected point guard Damian Lillard with the sixth pick, and he is very capable from the outside.

The seventh pick belongs to the Clippers, who made the playoffs, and this pick was traded from the Timberwolves.

In the Yaric trade in 2005, the Timberwolves and the Clippers conducted a sign-and-trade for Yaric, sending Cassell and a first-round draft pick to the Clippers. This pick was protected year after year, and finally became an unprotected draft pick in 2012.

Yalic was a high-paid but incompetent player back then, but now he has long since left the NBA. To pay such a high price for his comeback, the Timberwolves manager is really amazing.

The Clippers selected the extremely physical swingman Terrence Ross. Together with Hayward and Crawford, the Clippers' swingman position is not weak at present.

The Pistons selected insider Andre Drummond with the 8th pick.

After reading the first five words, the camera showed Drummond, and he almost cried looking at it.

How many people can have a wingspan of 229cm and be as fast as a guard? Drummond was considered to have great promise and amazing talent, but he fell all the way to eighth. The reason why he is not favored is that he cannot shoot and is not accurate in free throws. At best, it's Howard, at worst, it's DeAndre Jordan.

The Warriors selected Harrison Barnes with the ninth pick.

The tenth pick was the pick that the Trail Blazers exchanged, choosing Austin Rivers, the son of the Celtics coach.

Rookies were drafted one by one, the worst one being interior lineman Jared Sullinger.

If he ran for the election in 2011, he would most likely be in the top 5. However, as fate would have it, he chose to stay at Ohio State for one more year. As a result, he suffered a back injury and fell to the 21st pick in this year's draft, and was selected by the Boston Celtics.

The Kings selected point guard Marquis Teague with the 29th pick.

They soon made a trade, sending Teague to the Rockets in exchange for power forward Patrick Patterson. The Rockets made this move mainly to save money and to find spare tires for Dragic who may leave in the summer.

Dragic averaged 11.7 points and 5.3 assists per game. He wanted an annual salary of tens of millions, but Morey felt it was not worth it and was unwilling to renew his contract. Just want to find a substitute for Stuckey.

Patterson was the 14th overall pick in the first round of 2010. He is 206cm tall and weighs 106kg. He is strong and has a shooting range beyond the three-point line.

The Rockets selected Marcus Morris, who has a similar style, last season, and this season they selected Terrence Jones. One of the three will definitely have to go. Patterson has been trained for two years and his ability is average. Morey doesn't want to wait any longer.

Wang Jun is very satisfied with the management's approach, which can at least open up the space better than Taj Gibson.

These days, power forwards who can open up space will earn an annual salary of 10 million as long as there are no loopholes in their defense. Patterson, who has not appeared in his rookie period, is too cheap in comparison, and will remain a team option for the next two years. If he doesn't play well, he can be cut off directly next season.

In the second round, a group of rookies, Wang Jun, didn’t even know each other and changed the channel directly.

Wang Jun smiled and said: "With the current lineup of the Kings, the inside line is not weak. With Carter, it should be easy to defend the title next season."

Abby asked: "Is there no center yet? I think we need to find an experienced veteran. Have you called Chris (Kaman)?"

"Not yet, he might be watching the draft at the moment."

"I think you should give him a call and ask him clearly, so that he won't be embarrassed to ask. Once he comes, the lineup will be complete, and you can relax next season."

"How can that guy be embarrassed to speak? He is a talkative person."

Wang Jun suddenly thought that if Kaman didn't take the initiative to call, he probably didn't want to hug his thigh.
