As a Kobe hater, he was actually teammates with Kobe!

The NBA draft begins.

David Stern came to the center of the stage and said the opening words that were almost the same every year.

No. 1 pick - Derrick Rose.

Confident and reserved, Ross walked towards the stage with steady steps.

No. 2 pick - Michael Beasley.

Beasley was a bit cynical, and before he came on the court, he did not forget to glance at Zhou Ze from the Lakers team.

"Has this guy forgotten the painful experience in the training camp? Why is he looking at me with such a provocative look?" Zhou Ze thought to himself.

Michael Beasley was beaten by Zhou Ze in last year's training camp.

But he gained confidence through his NCAA experience.

Beasley is also a super killer in the NCAA, but he is slightly inferior to his senior, Carmelo Anthony.

Beasley felt that he had become stronger and had forgotten the pain. The first thing he did after entering the NBA was to challenge Zhou Ze.

Regarding this...

Zhou Ze could understand it.

After all, the players who can enter the NBA are Danzi and Zhou Ze from their own branches.

...

...

Third pick - OJ Mayo.

Don't tell me...

Although OJ Mayo's physique was average and his skills weren't top-tier, he did have the looks of a superstar. However, when he learned he was only selected third overall, a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.

After all, OJ Mayo was the top high school student in the United States during his high school years. He was hailed by the outside media as a combination of "James and Kobe". At that time, his fame was greater than that of Rose and Beasley.

Oh...

correct!

OJ Mayo also had a one-on-one duel with Kobe, but was easily defeated by Kobe.

After putting on his baseball cap, OJ Mayo also looked at Zhou Ze.

There was a hint of resentment in his eyes.

OJ Mayo has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhou Ze. Of course, this is mainly because Zhou Ze gave him a fair and objective evaluation.

At this time, OJ Mayo believed that he would fall to the third pick in the first round because of Zhou Ze's biased evaluation of him.

...

...

Russell Westbrook, the fourth overall pick in the first round, was completely stunned when he was selected by OKC. After all, he couldn't believe in his dreams that he, who wasn't even a three-star prospect out of high school, would be selected with the fourth overall pick in the 3 draft, a huge year.

Before going on stage, Westbrook did not forget to glance in the direction of Lakers representative Zhou Ze.

My eyes are full of gratitude.

Master Wei feels that Zhou Ze is his mentor.

Last year's training camp made me, an unknown player, quickly become famous in the NCAA.

Zhou Ze also smiled at each other.

Zhou Ze still has great admiration for Westbrook. During the regular season, when reporters mentioned this year's rookies, Zhou Ze mentioned more than once that Westbrook was the player who was most like him in his bones.

...

...

The fifth pick was the fat white guy - Kevin Love. At this time, Love was in the awkward stage of adolescence in terms of appearance.

To be honest, he's not really that handsome.

There's no comparison with Zhou Ze.

Love, who had just entered the league and had not yet lost weight, had extremely strong strength, comparable to that of a sumo wrestler.

But the downside is that it's too short...

Love's official height is reported as 208cm.

However, a curious reporter captured the scene of him and Zhou Ze greeting each other face to face.

Kevin Love is above Zhou Ze's eyebrows, so let alone 208cm, even 204cm is unlikely.

...

...

The sixth-placed Italian player has a good appearance and could compete with Zhou Ze. In his previous life, he was selected by the Knicks, but now he has been selected by the Wizards.

The seventh pick was Round-Faced Deng, who was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers' younger brother, the Clippers. Although Round-Faced Deng has a bit of baby fat, he is a master who can fly and hide without any serious injuries.

...

...

The tenth pick in the first round was Brook Lopez, also known as Big Lopez, who was selected by the Brooklyn Nets. Lopez's player report clearly stated that he had excellent low-post skills but poor defense.

As a time traveler, Zhou Ze was also very puzzled...

How come such a poor inside defender became the team's inside defensive gate in the small ball era?

Space C has also been successfully transformed!

Even a top contender for DPOY.

Brook Lopez's younger brother, Robin Lopez, also known as "Ground Hook", was selected with the 15th pick in the first round. Unlike his brother, Lopez Jr. is poor in offense but good in defense.

The draft situation in 08 was almost the same as in the previous life.

18th pick in the first round!

The Lakers used this draft pick to select JaVale McGee.

McGee's eyes were filled with tears of excitement.

Zhou Ze also personally handed him a baseball cap with the Lakers logo printed on it.

McGee hugged Zhou Ze excitedly.

Although McGee is taller than Zhou Ze, he looks very slim compared to Zhou Ze.

...

...

In addition to owning the 08th overall pick in the first round of the 18 draft, the Lakers also have a second-round pick to complete player trades.

The Lakers need to build a team.

But...

Training rookies does take time, and having too many rookies on a team is not a good thing.

If the Lakers want to complete their three consecutive championships, they naturally have to acquire some ready-to-fight forces.

在选秀大会上，湖人用达科-米利西奇+08年次轮选秀权，从丹佛掘金换到了克里斯-安德森+1个09年次轮选秀权+1个10年次轮选秀权。

As for the trade of Andrew Byram and Kwame Brown, they are currently in talks with the Philadelphia 76ers and Sacramento Kings.

The Philadelphia 76ers want Andrew Byram.

The Kings want Kwame Brown.

...

...

As for the next contract of the Parallel Import Brothers, it must be a middle-class contract with an annual salary of more than 800 million.

That's right.

$800 million a year is definitely a high-quality contract in this era. After all, a team as strong as the Zerby duo only makes around $1950 million a year.

This is a super top salary.

The average maximum salary is $1500 million a year.

Andrew Byram's situation is a bit complicated. Although he can show the potential of a super center on the court, his playing time is suppressed by the parallel import brothers and his ball possession is suppressed by Zhou Ze, so his statistics are very average.

I estimate that he can only get a high-quality middle-class contract.

...

...

In the new season, the Lakers have three confirmed centers (excluding Zhou Ze): Birdman Chris Andersen, JaVale McGee, and Marc Gasol, who was selected by the Lakers with a second-round pick last year but will not be able to return to the team until this year due to his contract.
