NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 100 It's Him
On the side of the Celtics management, after a brief moment of anger, Auerbach's eyes gradually showed thinking, and finally fell silent for a while, and he slowly said: "Then give it to them!"

"what?"

"What, what?"

Angie thought she had heard wrong.

This is Paul Pierce, the league's super scorer who averaged more than 25 points per game last season!
Even though Juwan is the "second generation of Larry Bird", he hasn't even played a game in the NBA... This means that it is risky to choose him!
You know, there is no such thing as "big bird second generation" so far!

Are you sure you want to gamble with an All-Star starter like Paul Pierce?

What's more, he lost the sixth pick in this year's first round!
If this bet is lost...

Angie couldn't help but swallowed. He didn't dare to play with such a big bet anyway.

Auerbach seemed to be aware of Angie's retreat, and shook his head slightly. In his opinion, such a petty guy is really not worthy of being the general manager of the Celtics, but he still said patiently: "Don't pay attention to these bottles and cans, break them. We can build again, Paul Pierce came to the Celtics in 98, and it has been five years now, and he hasn’t even made it to the finals, such a core, you just hold it like a baby!”

Now Angie was even more shocked. He really didn't expect that the All-Star, who averaged 25 points per game, could only get such an evaluation when he started in Auerbach.

"As for the sixth pick in the first round, after all these guys have their results, is there any difference between this pick and the tenth pick in the first round?"

Now, Angie fully heard Auerbach's determination for this deal, and immediately stopped hesitating and called the general manager of the Nuggets again...

Wade's whereabouts became a suspense.

But before the suspense was solved, Happy went back and forth, and returned to Zhu Wan with an expression of "I know it all": "Dude, big news is coming!"

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, on the big screen behind David Stern, who had just finished taking a photo with Carmelo Anthony, a news broke in: The Celtics sent Paul Pierce and the first round of the season. The sixth pick was traded from the Nuggets for the rights to Juwan, along with Mark Blunt, Chris Anderson, Junior Harrington, and Chris Whitney.

This transaction directly caused a huge amount of discussion on the scene. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the core of this transaction is Paul Pierce and the sixth pick in the first round and Juwan, and the rest are all joint.

In other words, the Celtics sent an All-Star starter who averaged 25 points per game and had just entered his peak period and a sixth overall pick in the first round this year, just to get Juwan from the Nuggets...

"Sigh~"

This immediately made many fans gasp.

"So the Cardinal's goal from the beginning was not LeBron James, but Juwan?"

At the same time, some fans realized that Auerbach's real goal in this draft is not the "little emperor", but super rookie Zhu Wan...

Now the commotion is louder!

They admit that Juwan is good, and he also got the endorsement of Larry Bird, but the problem is still that Paul Pierce... is an All-Star starter with an average of 25 points per game!

Are you willing to take it out?
Anthony had a "beep the dog" expression on his face.

Why does this guy always have trouble with him?He has just left the field, and before there are a few close-up shots, this guy has spread such explosive news!
Is that really aimed at me?
He threw an angry look at Zhu Wan.

Zhu Wan felt a little wronged.

Because he himself was also shocked that the Celtics gave him such a bargaining chip...Even he himself couldn't believe that he was so valuable.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think of Paul Pierce's shocked and sad expression when he heard about this deal, and he suddenly felt a bit more empathy: Is this the cruel NBA?Even if you are a superstar at your peak, you must be ready to be traded at any time.

In the eyes of the vast majority of management, feelings are feelings, and transactions are transactions. As long as the bargaining chips are in place, even deep feelings must be traded...

Of course, there is also some luck.

Fortunately, he did not show loyalty to the Nuggets.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to be sold to Boston just after saying "I want to help the Nuggets win the championship", right?

On the stage, David Stern watched the flash news on the screen with mixed feelings. Of course he also realized at this moment that Auerbach's goal in this draft is Juwan.

But he was also a little shocked. Using a peak All-Star starter who averaged 25 points per game plus a sixth pick in the first round to replace a rookie who has not yet been proven, and he has to deal with a bunch of garbage contracts for them, this is really true. Is it worth it?

If he was in the same position, he shouldn't be able to do such a thing.

too crazy!

Auerbach...

As expected of a man who has made him jealous all his life, David Stern really did not expect his move.

At the same time, he was a little curious... Isn't Michael Karl his dark chess player?
how……

He naturally couldn't think of it, it wasn't that Auerbach wanted to be so crazy, but the Nuggets forced him to be so crazy!

The only person who was not surprised was Larry Bird in front of the TV. He was not surprised by this result at all, but calmly took a sip of the coffee at hand.

He knew too well how much the temptation of "Larry Bird II" was to the old man!
At the same time, on the Nuggets management side, Kiki Vandeweghe looked satisfied. A Juwan allowed him to get Paul Pierce, and he also got the sixth overall pick in the first round. At the same time, he also got a few junk contracts. Although Chris Anderson was also sent out, it should be regarded as a little face for the "cardinal"!

The words Angie brought over were "You must give a decent rotation player, otherwise, we will not agree!"

The meaning of these words can be interpreted as, if you win, give me a little face, there is no need to be so extreme!
Chris Anderson is the "face" given by Kiki Vandeweghe...

He hummed a ditty, picked up the phone by the table again, and prepared to announce the good news to Kroenke Jr., the future owner of the Nuggets.

His strategy is really great!
Compared with the joy of his victory, the Celtics are full of sadness after the decisive battle. Zhu Wan got it, but they paid a painful price, which made Angie very sad. sad.

"Why are you staring blankly? This battle is not over yet. Although Antoine and Batty can't get the second pick in the first round, it is still no problem to change to the eighth and ninth picks in the first round... "

Anyway, Walker just entered the All-Star last season!

"Take the two of them for the top ten picks in the first round!"

An Ji didn't dare to hesitate after hearing the order, so she quickly called to contact her.

At the scene, after Carmelo Anthony was selected by the Heat with the fourth overall pick, the Raptors took Chris Bosh with the fifth overall pick.

Although the pick dropped one position, the result was no different. Toronto still got the "Future Dragon King".

Immediately after the sixth pick that originally belonged to the Celtics, the Nuggets chose Kirk Hinrich.

This made the Chicago Bulls with the seventh pick in a daze. What the hell happened, and they took away the people we were optimistic about.Before they could react, the Nuggets had already called, do you want Kirksinrich?Take Eddie Curry or Crawford if you want...

This angered the Bulls, and snatched Chris Kaman with a backhand.

Then called the Clippers, do you want Chris Kaman?Take Andre Miller or Caron Butler if you want.

"Lord Baylor" burst into tears: Why is it always me who gets hurt?
No way, he can only choose TJ Ford, which is also a preparation for Andre Miller's departure, Xiaolu, you won't blame me, will you?
"Little Deer" blinked, watching the rookie whom he had studied for a long time being selected away, and was about to continue nesting dolls when he just received a call from Angie from the Celtics.

Do you want last season's All-Star players?

Hot!
A first-round ninth overall pick can be taken away.

In addition, I will give you a defensive champion who averaged 10 plus 9 per game last season, and help you deal with a garbage contract for free.

The "little deer" who just lost his target just nodded when he heard this, without saying a word: "deal!"

Call ~
Finally caught up, Angie immediately told the "cardinal" the result.

"Are you saying he's the next Jordan?"

"okay, I get it!"

Auerbach had just finished talking on the phone. When he knew that Ainge had traded for the Bucks' ninth pick in the first round, he immediately glanced at the list of players selected by each team.

Great, not selected yet!
Decided!
It's him!
