The Point Guard is Here

Honestly, neither Isiah Thomas nor Don Cheney can understand Fancy's behavior.

They felt it was unnecessary.

Why engage in parallel imports?

Jack, I can understand why you want Milicic. This kid played really well in two games last season, and he is still young and has some potential. But why do you want Kwame Brown?

Isiah Thomas racked his brains and couldn't figure out what Fan Xi was thinking. He said: Do you want to use this method to prove that you are better than Michael Jordan? Michael Jordan picked a parallel importer, and you are responsible for cultivating this parallel importer?

The Smiling Assassin had a disagreement with Fan Xi. He said to Fan Xi: We can definitely bring in some insider superstars. Chris Webber, I contacted him, and he is willing to bow to you. There are also two powerful insiders from the Bulls, Eddie Curry, Tyson Chandler… I’m in contact with all of those.”

Fan Xi stretched out her hand to stop him from continuing.

It's better not to bring Chris Webber over. He's only here to provide for his retirement. Fan Xi said: You find a way to deal with Kwame Brown and Milicic.

Fan Xi's attitude was firm.

James Dolan made his position very clear: Yes, Isiah, bring these two players to training camp.

Thomas had no choice but to say nothing.

He really couldn't understand what was going on in Fan Xi's head.

He felt that Fan Xi was somewhat motivated.

He chatted with Don Cheney about it, but turned around and Don Cheney told Fanci about Isiah Thomas's complaints.

Don Cheney has always regarded himself as Fan Xi's person.

Fan Xi didn't think anything of it. It was normal for Isiah Thomas to complain a little, but he worked diligently and never discounted. Unlike Baylor from the Clippers, that's really Baylor.

Lord Baylor never complained, he always nodded and bowed in front of his face, and he agreed very readily. However, he always does things according to his own ideas.

This made Fan Xi very angry.

In order to prevent the Knicks from learning from the past, Fanci will personally participate in the draft this time.

He wants to conduct trial training with key players who come to the Knicks for trial training.

He even called on several players by name and asked them to come over for a tryout.

The players named by him include: Iguodala, Al Jefferson, Kevin Martin, Luol Deng, Josh Smith, JR Smith, Tony Allen, Andre Varejao, Trevor Ariza, Delonte West, Shaun Livingston….

This year, the Knicks are the team with the most draft picks, and as a championship team and the largest city team in the world, many rookies and agents are eager to participate in the Knicks' trial training.

After all, the Knicks' current situation is quite special. They are a super team, but they are also a team with a lot of veterans and have many opportunities.

On the first day of trial training, Fan Xi was sitting in the stands, wearing normal training clothes, watching the group confrontation below.

Although Isiah Thomas is now the president, he really likes the work of discovering new people. He stands down and does it himself.

This made many players and agents who came to try out very excited.

When the players saw Fan Xi, they kept saying hello to him.

But Fan Xi is very cold.

He sat quietly on it, unsmiling.

He is used to this kind of cheers. He has played in the league for 10 years. Although he is still young, his story has been inspiring many basketball teenagers to move forward.

These guys in their twenties can be said to have grown up watching Fan Xi's games.

Fan Xi propped up her chin until the afternoon.

Repeat this for three days.

He confirmed that this year is indeed a weak year for the draft, and there are almost no superstars in sight.

This year, the Knicks hold the fifth, ninth, 17th, and 21st picks, as well as the 38th and 56th picks in the second round.

He was trying his best to plan the supplements for each position in his mind.

But at the same time, his actions are also changing the draft situation.

Many players he called to the Knicks Arena for trial training have gained increased attention, and the media and other teams have greatly recognized Fanshie's vision.

So much so that Shaun Livingston, a high school guard, soared in the draft just because he took a photo with Fansheed, and was close to Dwight Howard and Okafor, the two top picks in the draft.

There are even players who are angry that they are not on the Knicks' radar.

Ben Gordon, a shooter from the University of Connecticut, said angrily: Why didn't Jack Fan invite me to try out? Is he so prejudiced against the University of Connecticut? I feel that I am underestimated. When I enter the NBA, he will Realizing that I'm the best defender in this class.

With the increase in status, Fan Xi's recognition has become a target for newcomers to compete for.

Fan Xi only felt angry and funny.

When he was in a good mood, he specifically called Ben Gordon and told him: I don't have a bad impression of you. The Knicks just don't need a ball-holding offensive core. We no longer need star players to hold the line.

Fan Xi's words made Ben Gordon jump out of bed happily.

He quickly apologized to Fan Xi and said that he had absolutely no malice, but that he was ignored and felt very sad.

Fan Xi encouraged him to work harder.

Ben Gordon cried with joy on the phone.

Then the next day, he said in the media: Jack is my lifelong idol. The fact that he called me made me confident in my basketball career. He didn't look down on me, he felt that the Knicks already had him and no longer needed a ball-handling core.

Ben Gordon is a simple man, he doesn't boast.

So, Fan Xi stamped it and certified it, and Fan Xi replied: That's right. That's what I said.

Fan Xi's words once again made Ben Gordon's market bullish.

…

Because of Fan Xi's relationship, this year's championship tour was arranged after the draft. Fan Xi's recent energy has been focused on the draft.

The Knicks' top management has decided that next season, the Knicks will make major lineup adjustments.

This requires great courage.

Generally speaking, championship teams do not change their lineup easily and only make minor repairs.

However, the Knicks' lineup is too old.

Moreover, Fan Xi’s goal is to win five consecutive championships, so he is destined to add a long-term team.

Therefore, it has become necessary to discover talents among rookies.

Fancy will be manning the draft war room this year, with James Dolan by his side. Isiah Thomas and Don Cheney are Fanshi's assistant ministers, and the main figures in the uniform team are also out.

When Fanci entered the war room, the Los Angeles Clippers asked the Knicks if they needed to make an upward trade, but Fanci declined.

This year's trade picks are not as important as imagined.

For the Knicks, reinforcements come from the rotation and role players.

The first pick this year is the Washington Wizards.

The Washington Wizards chose Dwight Howard without hesitation.

Howard walked onto the stage very happily. Wearing a Wizards hat, he made many commentators worry about whether this high school center No. 1 pick would become the second Kwame Brown.

Gujie

After all, the last center pick picked by the Wizards was completely wasted.

However, the plot soon took a turn.

The Wizards, who are not short of centers, made a three-way deal with the Rockets and Magic. The Magic invited Howard back to Orlando.

This immediately made Howard's market bullish. After all, the last number one center pick in the history of the Magic was O'Neal. What an achievement O'Neal has made.

Howard has a promising future.

With the second pick is the Charlotte Bobcats.

Michael Jordan is the minority owner of the Bobcats. He has a gambling agreement with the big owner. The specific content has not been disclosed, but basically it is only a matter of time before Jordan becomes the majority shareholder of the club.

After Jordan acquired Kwame Brown from the Wizards, his reputation was greatly tarnished, and people thought he didn't know people well.

But tonight, with no other choice, he called the shots in the Bobcats' draft war room: draft Okafor.

Okafor is a safe choice. This is a short center who has achieved great achievements in the NCAA. There is basically no possibility of losing his choice. Of course, don't expect him to achieve amazing achievements.

Ben Gordon was drafted third overall by the Chicago Bulls.

The Chicago Bulls seem to agree very much with Fanci's recognition. Since Fanci said that Ben Gordon is very good, the Bulls will naturally take a gamble.

After all, in the past history, none of the players that Fan Xi was optimistic about were wrong.

Soon it was the Clippers' turn with the fourth pick.

The Clippers are still bargaining with the Knicks at this time, hoping to exchange the fourth pick for the Knicks' fifth pick plus a first-round pick.

Fan Xi replied directly: Master Baylor is thinking shit.

Elgin Baylor chose Shaun Livingston, who had tried out with the Knicks and had a close photo taken with Fanci.

Shaun Livingston is known as a talented high school student. He has good height, good vision, and he is smart when playing. Although the confrontation is a little weaker, Fan Xi feels that his prospects are very good and he has the opportunity to become a top star.

Therefore, Fan Xi went to have a close contact with him, and that was how he took the photo.

However, the close contact between the two was not captured by the system prompts as a medal player.

Therefore, Fan Xi's interest waned.

Soon he came to the fifth pick and came to Fan Xi.

This is Fanshie's first shot tonight, and it is also his first time deciding on a draft.

He had five minutes to make final considerations.

But before that, he had already considered it with Isiah Thomas.

He asked Thomas what the odds were of getting Kwame Brown and Milicic.

Isiah Thomas said: Seventy percent.

Then Fancy asked, what was the probability that Sprewell would stay? Can Grant Hill's buyout be reached?

Thomas said that the asking price of Sprewell's agent is too high, and if you don't come forward to play the emotional card, you will basically leave. The same is true for Grant. He still has three years of contract worth almost 50 million, and his agent refused a buyout of 25 million US dollars...

The two answers made Fan Xi make up her mind.

Pick Andre Iguodala.

So, soon, the Knicks took Fanshie's decision to the bottom corner.

This decision did not surprise Thomas. Isiah Thomas also believes that Iguodala's physical fitness is the best among all outside players this year.

If Sprewell and Grant Hill cannot be retained, Iguodala is the best supplement.

When Iguodala heard that he was selected by New York, he roared excitedly at the scene. Moreover, he raised his hands in the air and echoed the crazy screaming New York fans behind him.

When he walked onto the stage, he said excitedly: Mom, I finally have the opportunity to play ball with Jack Fan.

Iguodala was beyond excited.

Fan Xi saw this scene in the war room, and he was very happy for this excited young man: You are so lucky, your career has been on the fast track since then.

Soon, Luol Deng, another backcourt player that Fanshie valued, was picked away. Kevin Martin was also taken first by the Kings. Devin Harris has never been considered by the Knicks.

Very quickly, came to the ninth pick.

It's the Knicks' choice again.

Fan Xi looked at the names on his list hesitantly.

In the end, he chose a short center who was not favored by the public.

Al Jefferson.

The reason is that the four insiders, Mutombo, Anthony Mason, Juwan Howard, and Ratliff, will all leave New York this summer, and the Knicks need fresh blood.

Although Al Jefferson is a short center, he will definitely suffer a lot in defense in the NBA, but his offense is very solid and he is a good inside offensive point. His advantages are not even possessed by the current four Knicks insiders.

Al Jefferson's selection was unexpected.

He himself was startled.

He has always been ranked at the end of the first round in previous draft projections.

However, the Knicks gave him this surprise.

He rushed to the stage excitedly.

When I shook hands with Stern, there were tears in my eyes.

Then in an interview, he said: I was so excited. I never thought I could be selected by the Knicks. My performance in the trial training was not good at all. Thanks to the Knicks, I will definitely perform well. I will definitely I will do my best to help Jack achieve his fifth consecutive championship.”

What a sincere and good boy.

Fan Xi sighed in his heart.

Then there are only the 17th and 21st picks left, as well as the 38th and 56th picks in the second round.

After a long wait, the Knicks selected Andre Varejao with the 17th overall pick. Drafted Trevor Ariza with the twenty-first pick.

Afterwards, Fan Xi left the draft war room.

Because there are no players he likes among the remaining players.

Being able to pick Iguodala, Varejao, Al Jefferson, and Trevor Ariza already makes Fanshie very happy.

But when Fan Xi came out of the war room.

He got a call from Sprewell. The madman was silent on the phone for a long time before asking Fan Xi: Aren't you going to keep me? Jack.

Fan Xi thought about it and said, You should accept the five-year, $50 million contract offered to you by the Timberwolves. When you get there, you will form a super team with Marbury and Garnett, and with their abilities , there is no problem in ruling the west.”

The Knicks really can't match your contract.

Fan Xi said sincerely: No matter what, please don't choose less money because of my personal relationship with you.

The madman was silent on the phone for a long time.

He said, Okay, I'm going to Minnesota and we'll see you in the finals.
