The Godfather of Basketball

"We have a trade proposal."

As soon as he sat down, Jones gave Tang Tian a surprise.

Tang Tian glanced at Jones and motioned for him to continue.

"It's the Bulls. They want to use this year's No. 7 pick to trade Markkanen and our No. 14 pick." Jones said.

Markkanen.

Tang Tian couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

This bull seems to really miss the little Finnish driver!

They wanted to use the No. 7 pick last year, and they wanted to trade him this year.

The Bulls' trade proposal was definitely inappropriate, but this proposal did give Tang Tian some ideas.

The Nets have to renew so many people during the offseason. The most important thing is that George and Oden will be a bit bombed after the luxury tax is over. In this case, there will definitely be follow-up transactions to reduce the total salary.

At that time, Yi Jianlian will be a better bargaining chip. There is only one year left in the contract, and there is no room for renewal next year. Before that, the transaction can not only reduce the salary, but also get some useful assets. In addition, in the past finals, it is easy to build a team with one team and four teams. I didn't get any chance to play, and my age gradually came up.

After trading Yi Jianlian, Tucker or possibly signed Anthony will be the starting power forward, with Markkanen and Kuzma as substitutes.

Markkanen, as a No. 6 pick, it seems wasteful to play off the bench all the time, not to mention that Kuzma will never get much playing time because of this.

As a coach, Tang Tian naturally knows the players best. It is not realistic for Markkanen to become Nowitzki, but it is possible to grow into a qualified starter or even an All-Star, but the premise is that there is enough training and space .

Just like Booker, before the Nets because of the presence of Butler and Deron, he couldn't grow up quickly, but when it came to the Pacers, he immediately came up.

This is the importance of the ball******* to the Bulls?

This idea is not bad. This year's No. 7 pick is worth more than last year, and if Karmanen is traded, Kuzma will have a chance to play. Not worse than Markkanen.

The problem seems to be a choice between Markkanen and Kuzma.

Send away Markkanen to train Kuzma.

Or keep Markkanen to see if the Bulls want Kuzma.

At this time, the candidates for the show had already started, Xiao Hua walked out from behind the stage, and after the familiar opening remarks at the beginning of the year, he then announced the ownership of the first overall pick.

The Suns won the first No. 1 lottery in history.

There was news before that they would basically take off Ayton.

"Let's talk to the Bulls, we won't make the 14th pick." Tang Tian finally made his choice.

Within the range he can accept, the value difference between Markkanen and this year's No. 7 pick is not much.

Jones then went to communicate with the Bulls, at this time Xiao Hua also came out of the backstage.

While showing Xiao Hua a shot, the scene also gave Little Green House a cut shot.

This year, the number of invitations to the Little Green House is very large, reaching a record high of 19 people.

Deandre Ayton, Luka Doncic, Marvin Bagley, Jaren Jackson Jr., Mohamed Bamba, Collin Sexton, Trae Young, Wendell Carter , Michael Porter and other popular rookies are all listed.

Now the camera is on Ayton, the No. 1 pick.

"The first pick in the first round of the NBA in 2018, the Phoenix Suns selected... Deandre Ayton, a 2.16-meter center from the University of Arizona."

Not surprisingly, Ayton was picked by the Suns with the No. 1 pick.

There was a burst of excited cheers from the Suns fans at the scene.

Ayton is an absolute cornerstone player, and after so many years of sinking, the Suns can finally see some future.

The second pick belongs to the Kings.

Ayton, Doncic, Bamba, and Jalen Jackson Jr. all rejected the Kings' trial training. Judging from the news about the draft picks, they have a high probability of picking Marvin Bagley in this pick. Of course The original No. 1 pick is hot, and Michael Porter, whose market has plummeted due to injuries, is also within the possible range.

The Kings are making final considerations, and Jones is also continuing to negotiate with the Bulls.

The Bulls' offer was just a stepping stone. They also knew that the value of a No. 7 pick was not that great.

Markaninga's No. 30 pick in the first round this year is what they want and the Nets can accept.

Tang Tian was thinking about it.

At this time, the Kings with the second pick made a choice. As the previous rumors broke out, they focused on stability and chose Marvin Bagley.

In previous years, Woj always broke the news outside the venue, and every time he broke the news, it was always ahead of the official. This year, the official simply invited Woj to the scene.

As soon as the king finished his selection, the camera showed Woj, and he immediately revealed a deal. The Eagles made a deal with the Mavericks. The Mavericks had the No. Niu is a protected first-round pick for next year.

Woj's revelation is not official, but it is more than official information. He said that the Mavericks will use this pick to select Luka Doncic, while the Hawks will use the fifth pick to select Trae Young.

This revelation made the scene restless.

On the one hand, it is because there is a Grizzlies with the fourth overall pick among them. If the Grizzlies choose Trey Young, the scene will be very embarrassing. On the other hand, Trey Young’s previous draft predictions are all ten Outside of the first place, the Cavaliers were at most the eighth pick, but they didn't expect to soar to the fifth pick.

The fans outside kept talking about it, but Tang Tian didn't pay much attention to it. These were all the same as what happened in his previous life.

As the draft goes down, the deal with the Bulls is getting more and more urgent.

The Bulls also changed several plans, including changing the No. 30 pick to Dejounte Murray, or a plan for next year's first-round pick, but Tang Tian never agreed.

In fact, in the final analysis, they are not the party that proposed the deal, and it is not a problem for Markkanen to stay. After all, Kuzma can also be trained in the direction of the third position.

So the Bulls were in a hurry, but Tang Tian was not in a hurry.

The Grizzlies selected Jaren Jackson Jr. with the fourth overall pick.

What the fans were worried about did not happen. In fact, the team had made sufficient preparations for the selection. Unless there were special circumstances, it was rare to change the result of the selection because they wanted to cut off the beard.

The Eagles also successfully selected Trey Young with the fifth pick.

Now there are a lot of boos. Young's physical fitness is extremely poor among rookies. Whether he can adapt to NBA-level confrontation is still unknown. The Eagles' choice is very risky.

"The Bulls gave the final offer, a single change for Markkanen before the 7th." At this moment, the Bulls finally couldn't sit still.
