ask if you agree

Chapter 427
5 minutes ago.

In the Warriors' box, the phone rang.

This phone call is a phone call for each team to communicate with each other. On the stage of the draft, many transactions start from this moment. Many rookies don't know it. Maybe the order of a phone call can also determine their fate.

Assistant coach Woodson answered the phone.

"Ok?"

"OK, got it."

"Okay, we need to discuss it."

Woodson put down the phone, and then a strange look appeared on his face.

"what happened?"

Qin Fei was very curious, even if there was a team requesting a trade, he wouldn't have such an expression.

Rowell has tried his best to play the role of a dignified general manager, but the wandering eyes still reveal his heart.

Woodson touched his chin and said, "It's a strange request."

"Not from the team, but from a player's agent."

After Woodson finished speaking, he glanced at everyone.

Still have this kind of operation?Where did he get the hotline from?

Qin Fei complained from the side, feeling that this matter was a little unreasonable.

"Yes, regarding the player's transaction, the team first contacted us to know our attitude before they can determine whether the transaction can proceed."

Woodson talked about the twists and turns inside, and it was indeed an uncommon show operation.

"he is?"

Carlisle frowned.

Seeking stability should be something that every championship team has to do.

However, sometimes, the team really can't be stable if they want to be stable. With the superposition of multiple factors, no one knows where they will be in the next moment.

When the Warriors trade happened, it counted as the first trade of the night.

However, it was not a blockbuster deal, blinding a bunch of excited basketball commentators for nothing.

People opened the news website and saw that it was just a "small transaction".

Of course, if you take into account the "prestige" of this player at his peak, it cannot be regarded as a complete small transaction. It can only be said that according to the current player's energy level, the transaction is indeed not a heavy one.

It's official: The Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors have reached an agreement to trade.

In this transaction, the Warriors will send away the team's young player Sam Jacobson in exchange for the Toronto Raptors' veteran shooter Dell Curry.

Dell Curry is 37 years old this year, although Jacobson is only a marginal player in the Warriors.

But Jacobson had a brilliant performance for a period of time in the middle of last season. This player has outstanding physical fitness and outside shooting ability. In the Warriors this season, his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 37.5%, which is not much different from Dell Curry.

This transaction is completely worthless.

It is nothing more than the fact that the Raptors continue to follow the path of the young guards, gambling on the potential of young people everywhere, and Dell Curry, as a veteran of the league, has never won a championship in his career, and he has his own considerations when he transfers to the Warriors.

It's just a small transaction, but as usual, outside commentators will also comment on it.

In the end, the evaluation of the Warriors was B-, and the evaluation of the Raptors this time was slightly higher, reaching a B.

Although Dell Curry has rich experience and was one of the best shooters in the league in the 90s at his peak, he is about to retire after all. Although Jacobson is only a marginal player in the Warriors, he is young after all and has shown some talent in shooting.

Considering that the Warriors' only goal is to continue to hit the championship in the next year, it is within the understandable range of everyone.

After the first transaction of the day was generated, the transaction enthusiasm of the night was ignited.

Of course, the most is about the trade between draft players.

Like the Magic.

The Magic packaged Corey Maggette, Derek Strong and some cash they got last year and traded them to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for players such as Troy Hudson and an unprotected first-round pick from the Clippers.

The Clippers decided to build a team around Lamar Odom, gradually clean up the old players in the team, and strengthen Odom, so there is nothing wrong with trading players and draft picks. Maggette is also a young striker in exchange, and it is worth investing in.

The Magic hoarded a large number of draft picks and continued to rebuild the road.

The two teams are in different periods of team building, so they choose different trading strategies and directions. After a little discussion, they hit it off.

Subsequently, the Dallas Mavericks also had trade dynamics. They sent the selected Ethan Thomas to the Washington Wizards.

The Magic sent Courtenay Alexander, the No.13 pick, to the Dallas Mavericks.

The Bucks sent Jason Correll to the Houston Rockets.

Kings draft Turkish forward Hedo Turkoglu
In just over ten minutes, all kinds of transactions were exposed, and the teams tested each other, waving draft picks and rookies, in exchange for chips they thought were suitable.

Some are for the present, while others are for follow-up and other plans.

There are also some who didn't think so far at all, but thought that the deal seemed to be a good deal at the time, but they didn't expect that there would be other unexpected benefits later.

The Warriors got off to a good start, and then there has been no trade action.

The 21st pick in the first round, people cheer up.

David Stern opened the envelope, paused, and then said:
"In the 2000 NBA draft, the 21st overall pick in the first round, the Golden State Warriors chose—"

"Center Jack Chakalidis from Georgia!"

People are talking about it, and it seems that they have never heard of the name.

For players who have never played in the NCAA, they are indeed very unfamiliar, and they must not be able to act.

This is the third tallest player in the entire NBA draft this year. The 21-year-old Jack is 2 meters tall and weighs 18 kilograms. He is a monster inside like a big white bear.

His static talent is very coveted. The only thing that worries NBA scouts is that his athletic ability does not seem to be very strong. It is not known whether he can adapt to the offensive and defensive rhythm of the NBA.

Jack also did not come to the scene. After he was selected, the NBA officially released some introductions and highlights of him.

Everyone has a preliminary understanding of this player.

In the other box, Phoenix Suns general manager Danny Ainge and his team were taken aback.

They would have chosen the Georgian player.

In the early stage, the scouts of the Suns made a lot of investigation reports on this player, and believed that this player has high potential and can definitely adapt to the NBA, and his physical talent is there. In today's era where the interior is full of Godzilla, a young meat shield is the cornerstone that every team wants to obtain.

Skiles, who was the general manager of the Suns at the time, also felt very tricky.

"I didn't expect the Warriors to be eyeing this player, but the Warriors don't seem to be the kind of players who particularly need a big center. In last year's playoffs, many times, they hoarded the big centers in the team and didn't get playing time."

Skiles analyzed a wave and felt that the Warriors were purely just trying to get a player of sufficient value for the draft pick at this position.

The outside world does not have much objection to the Warriors' choice.

To them, Jack of Georgia was too foreign to judge.

Judging by the size, weight and age of this guy, it seems worth the investment.

Danny Ainge was silent.

If I knew it earlier, I would not have traded with the Jazz. If the picks are not exchanged, the Suns should still be ahead of the Warriors in the draft.

There is no need to be so passive.

He thought about it, and then chose Primoz Brezek with the 23rd overall pick belonging to the Suns.

This guy is also a 2-meter European big center from Slovenia.

This time, the Pacers were a little uncomfortable, because the Pacers had taken a fancy to this player and felt that after Rick Schmitz retired, this player would be a good addition to the team, so as not to cause the team's system to collapse directly.

But if the Suns do this, what will the Pacers do?
So in the box on the other side, Larry Bird, the head coach and general manager of the Pacers, cursed and lost his temper.

He wasn't so angry when he lost to the Warriors in the Finals.

There is no way, it will be the Pacers' turn to choose soon, and seeing that his operation is about to succeed, someone cuts off.

The Pacers are not like the Suns, so it doesn't matter, if Jack is not selected, he will be replaced.

The previous experience of the Pacers has been in the playoffs, and there are not many high-quality centers provided in the scouting report, so this is one of the important operations of the Pacers.

It is not impossible to change to Plan B temporarily, and I am not very happy.

Larry Bird called Angie right away.

After more than ten minutes, the first round of draft picks were all over.

The list of 29 players belonging to tonight's first-round show has also been released.

There must be some joy and some sorrow, and there are many players who were not selected in the first round.

Every year, nearly 60 to [-] talented young players in the NBA sign up for the draft, and in the end only nearly [-] players can get the pick.

The vast majority of players are undrafted.

Selecting into the NBA is only the first step, and the difference between the first round and the second round is that the first round picks are "established" guarantee contract players, and the contract of each rookie player is fixed. If they are selected, it means that they have won the favor of the NBA, and at least they can get a salary at the senior level of society.

The second-round picks are better than the undrafted picks, and the future of the undrafted picks is unclear. The second-round picks have the opportunity to get a slightly lower salary and shorter time contract with an NBA team.

Of course, this is not fixed.

Some teams may give up signing with the second-round picks they selected in the summer, making the second-round picks a completely free player.

Just when the vice president of the league presided over the start of the second round of the draft, the official once again announced a trade message.

This time, it's about a three-way deal between the Warriors, Suns and Pacers.

According to the transaction, the Warriors sent away Jake Chakalidis, the 21st overall pick just selected in this year's draft.
