The Godfather of Basketball

"Agreed." Tang Tian gave the instruction directly.

Trading is like falling in love. They are all testing each other's bottom line. When they find that the bottom line is acceptable to each other, it will naturally happen.

If Markkanen changes to this year's No. 7 pick, the Nets may not make a profit, but they will certainly not lose money.

Woj also immediately followed up the report.

There was a commotion among the fans at the scene.

This scene is very familiar!

Last year, the Nets traded Gordon from the Magic to the No. 6 pick to select Markanen, and now they have traded Markkanen for this year's No. 7 front.

After going round and round, the Nets have held a top lottery pick for two consecutive years.

There was also a commotion at the scene.

New York fans have always chosen people based on fame and not people. After this deal is concluded, the Magic will be the Nets. This has a high probability of being able to pick the No. 1 pick Michael Porter who fell due to injury!

Porter looks like a superstar, and he had a bright moment with Ayton in high school. A No. 7 pick is still worth the bet.

"Who do we choose?"

After Xiao Hua announced that the sixth pick belonged to the Magic, discussions began in the Nets' draft room.

Because the deal came out of the blue, they hadn't discussed it before.

"Michael Porter has never been selected. Although his injury is worrying, it should not be a loss to win this pick." Frank said.

"I think the risk is great. We have watched his trial training before. Unless his injury recovery is far beyond expectations, he will not be able to play in his rookie season. The salary of the seventh pick is comparable to a mini-middle class. The risk is too great," Jones said.

"I don't know what the Magic's choice is. Among the remaining players, the best are Mohamed Bamba and Wendell Carter Jr. Are we going to choose one of them?" Rodgers continued.

"If we don't want Porter, I think we still need to choose what we need for this pick. Whether it's Bamba or Carter, they won't have much playing time, and they will be trained the same as Markkanen before." Frank gave his opinion.

His idea was recognized by others, and Tang Tian also nodded.

"Greg (Oden) is expected to get a good offer this summer. If the Magic don't choose Bamba, we will choose him. If they choose, we will choose Colin Sexton." Tang Tian After listening to other people's advice, finally made a decision.

The Nets are under a lot of pressure to renew their contract in the summer. If Oden fails to sign back, Bamba will be a very good substitute. If the Magic chooses, then they need to reinforce the point guard. Sexton is The best point guard in this draft class.

As for Carter, Tang Tian already had ideas about Potter, so it would be a waste to choose again.

"With the 6th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2018, the Orlando Magic chose Mohamed Bamba, a 2.11-meter center from the University of Texas."

There are not many surprises in the Magic's choice. They have always liked to train centers for others, and they chose a center, and Bamba is also the best among the remaining players.

The Magic chose Bamba, and the Nets did not hesitate. Jones quickly handed the envelope with Sexton to the staff.

Xiao Hua came out of the backstage of the draft for the seventh time.

At this time, the fans at the scene were restless.

The scene gave the little green house a cut shot.

At this time, the players who were still sitting in it were a little uncomfortable, especially Michael Porter. Although the injury affected his market, he was very motivated. He was still sitting when he was the 7th overall pick. The expression has obviously changed a little.

"The 7th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2017, the Brooklyn Nets chose..."

Because it is a New York team, Xiao Hua deliberately paused when he read it, which also attracted a lot of attention from the fans.

The scene even directly gave Michael Porter a close-up shot.

"Colin Sexton, 1'87 point guard, from the University of Alabama."

When the Nets made their choice, there was another burst of boos at the scene.

Although Tang Tian's vision for the draft has been proven, it's not a New York fan if he doesn't boo.

Sexton was slightly excited and trotted onto the stage with a Nets hat.

His draft prediction must be after No. 7. It is really an accident that the Nets selected him.

It's hard for him not to be excited to join the defending champions in a big city like New York.

After taking a photo with Xiao Hua, he was interviewed by media reporters on the sidelines.

"Are you surprised that the Nets picked you at this pick?"

"Yes, a little bit, but I'm very excited, thanks to the Nets, I have a big heart and impact, I believe I can help this team, we will defend the title."

Sexton's answer surprised the reporter for a while, and it also made her feel similar.

The Nets have selected another Mitchell-style player!

Tang Tian also smiled when he heard the interview in the hut.

As a point guard, the height of 1.87 meters is not very good, but Sexton is very impactful. After Mitchell becomes the starter, he will be the most important scoring point on the bench. Of course, there is this character. He loves those types of players.

The Nets chose Sexton, and the Cavaliers draft room next door couldn't help but scold their mothers. This is what they have studied for a long time and want.

"With the 8th overall pick in the first round of 2018, the Cleveland Cavaliers select... Wendell Carter Jr., a 2-foot-8 small forward from Duke University."

Carter is the most talented player at Duke University, and with a wingspan of 2.21 meters, he is a player who can swing similar to Tatum last year, but the upper limit is slightly lower.

The Cavaliers made this choice, on the one hand, they chose the best of the remaining players, and on the other hand, they were also ready for James to leave.

Although James did not announce his decision, the Cavaliers have very little space. To paraphrase a desperate saying: Even if James renews his contract with a basic salary, the Cavaliers have no room to introduce stars.

After the Cavaliers, the Knicks picked Kevin Knox and drew boos again.

It seems that Porter is not selected, and they will not stop.

The 76ers with the 10th pick selected Mikal Bridges, the best 3-and-D player in this draft. The interesting thing is that Bridges’ mother is a member of the 76ers’ management team. At that time, my mother was standing beside me with a smile on her face, and the scene was very interesting.

The Hornets selected Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with the 11th overall pick.

Both the 12th and 13th picks belonged to the Clippers, who selected Miles Bridges and Jerome Robinson, respectively.

And before the Clippers made the 12th pick, Woj exploded two trade messages in a row.

The Clippers and Hornets swapped the 11th and 12th picks, and the Hornets got some cash.

Bridges, who had just completed a sideline interview with his mother, was traded to the Suns.

The scene was restless.

Not only because of Bridges' miraculous encounter, but also because of the extremely ugly Michael Porter, who is still sitting in the small green room at the moment.
