866 new rookies
On the evening of June, the Madison Garden, a basketball holy land in New York, which had been silent for more than two months, became brightly lit again.
In recent seasons, the New York Knicks have fallen from the 1990s to a bottom-line team that is stomping on everyone, which is in sharp contrast with the rising Warriors, telling the truth about the emperor's turn to do it in 30 years, Hedong and 30 years.
But there is no doubt that no team is willing to be the bottom of the fish. As long as it is possible, they naturally hope to return to the top. In this way, when the smoke of gunpowder in the NHA finals dissipates and the war in the NHAI player market rekindles, the draft will become a war that all teams must fight for incoming land.
As the sun sets and the moon rises, the Madison Garden Arena becomes crowded with people. The crowded stars, draft players and their families fill the stadium with a lot of space. Even if there are a few gaps, they are filled with reporters.
Chamberlain, West, Iverson, Curry and others followed Old Nelson to attend the draft. The group of people were wearing suits and tie, and they were full of human elites.
But West would never play according to common sense. Old Nelson asked the Warriors to wear suits, and he also wore a decent Armani handmade black suit, but around his neck, there was a circle of gold chains as thick as a little finger.
West didn't know when he hung up after entering the stadium, otherwise Old Nelson wouldn't have brought him to the draft.
Chamberlain almost fainted when he saw West's dressing, he pulled West's collar and shouted: "Can you be more normal? Damn, do you think this is Halloween? What is the suit with a gold chain?"
"This is not an ordinary gold chain..." West argued.
Chamberlain shouted: "Is it not a gold chain or a dog chain?"
West was very angry, took off the thick gold chain and handed it to Chamberlain, pointing to the font squeezed out on it and said, "Did you see it? What is the one I bought from a master and written on it? We will choose the players we need."
Chamberlain rolled his eyes, threw the gold chain at him, and said helplessly: "Dronti, you are really my elder brother. It will definitely be very messy today. Don't make trouble. Put away this damn iron chain, or hold it in your hand, but don't hang it around your neck."
West cooperated surprisingly, nodded obediently, grabbed the gold chain and came down honestly.
Chamberlain smiled and praised Old Nelson: "Dronti has matured a lot recently. Look, he has become much more conscious..."
As he turned around, Chamberlain saw West take out a golden earring from his pocket and bring it to his ear. There was a line of letters on the earrings. It translated into two words: Choose me
Chamberlain wanted to beat him to death and shouted, "It's really a fucking thing that can't be chosen for you on the table? Who the fuck chooses you who is unlucky in 204 was the idiots in Boston who chose you, but they were unlucky. But they regretted that you took off these damn earrings until now."
It happened that Pierce and his group walked to the side and heard Chamberlain's words, the Celtics' uniform team looked ugly.
Choosing West was indeed a waste of a draft pick. This guy started playing with Pierce in his first season, but it turned out that they didn't miss it. West was the kind of horse with unlimited potential, but unfortunately they were not men.
West ignored him, he turned his head and looked around, looking at his face, either excited or nervous, and sighed with a pretentious and vicissitude: "Oh, what a bunch of little rookies, time passes by, I'm so old."
The players participating in the draft are indeed very young. Fans all know that the NHA requires the rookie to run for at least 18 years old. In fact, this is a small misunderstanding. The NHA requires that it is based on February-1 of the draft year and must be at least 19 years old.
However, players who are 19 years old by the end of February will naturally be 18 years old in June, so there is such a statement.
In addition, non-international players must graduate from high school for at least one year, which is also a threshold, because there are still many basketball geniuses in the United States who have poor grades and cannot get into college. For example, Jennings, a genius scorer who entered the league last year and was selected by the Bucks, was forced to leave Europe by this criterion.
During the fight, the Warriors entered their VIP room, and then a staff member sent a draft list. According to the NH, local American players will automatically be eligible for drafts as long as they are over 2 years old and have completed college studies. Players who are not automatically eligible for the election must notify the league in writing about their willingness to run two months before the draft. This list is the final candidate.
After entering this list, players cannot withdraw at will. The NHA negotiated with the NCAAT to formulate rules. If a local college player in the United States does not sign a contract with the agent, the player can still return to college to play if he loses the election.
However, according to NCAAR regulations, if a college player who signs up for the NH draft does not withdraw from the election before June B, the player will lose the qualification to participate in the university regardless of whether he is selected by the NHAI team.
This means that if college players do not withdraw from the draft by June B, they will lose the qualification to participate in the college league regardless of whether they hire a broker or not.
After getting this information, Old Nelson turned directly to the page of Paul George. Obviously, the old man didn't choose Paul George this time.
Hill has a good popularity and wide connections. He went out for a walk and said to Old Nelson after he came back: "H6, now it's basically confirmed that among the top ten picks, five teams need inside, and five teams need outside, among which the outside are the 76ers, Timberwolves, Pistons, Jazz and Pacers."
Someone immediately handed over the lineup of these five teams to Old Nelson, and the old man began to think about the type of players they needed.
This is a technical job. The uniform team must determine the quickest possible rookie who may intercept the rookie they need, and then help each other through the draft pick's verbal trading agreement.
You should know that rookies are not allowed to transfer within 3 days after signing with the team. If the selected rookie has not signed yet, the value of his trading salary is the same as that of the draft pick. Therefore, if a trade can be made, the team will cooperate before the draft is completed.
In addition, if a rookie is given up by the team, he will become a complete free agent. If a rookie refuses to sign with the team that chooses him and the team does not agree to give up or trade the rookie, the rookie cannot sign with other NHAI teams within 1 year. The team selected him has the priority signing rights of NHAl.
If the player signs with a non-NHAI team, the NHAI team selected will retain NHAl's priority signing rights until 1 year after the player's contract with the non-NHAI team is terminated. In other cases, the team selected will have the right to sign the player until the next draft day.
Old Nelson's eyes kept turning on the five teams, and the elites in the uniform and coaching team began to use their brains and then provided their opinions to Old Nelson.
At this time, the group of people is the most hardworking. Anyway, the old man is not them who makes the decision. What they have to do is show their talents. It is best to guess which team will take Paul George away from the nail on the head.
In this way, once the Warriors can trade this rookie in the future, it will be a great achievement. If the transaction is not traded, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I made the correct guess, and your trading is not good.
"It must be that the Pacers will pick him, because this kid is the tenth pick at most. Let's prepare a trade with the Pacers, or let other teams stop this kid in advance."
"The Pistons have long expressed their interest in him, and you see, this kid makes a living by defending, and the Pistons like this little guy who likes defense the most, so let's find a way to trade with the Detroits."
"The Detroits who like to defend are the former Detroits. Look at what the Pistons are like now? They must choose the most potential guy to train as the core, and Paul George never has the potential to be the core of the team."
"To be honest, guys, I'm more optimistic about the Timberwolves picking him away. Now there is a large group of Gunners in the forest, and they need a guy who can defend the outside. The Minnesota's outside line is now like women's stockings, and it can be broken with just one pull..."
At this time, Chamberlain and West just lowered their heads and ate snacks. They couldn't even get into it. Compared with these people's control over the development trends of their opponents, they were standard idiots.
Chamberlain knows how to defeat his current opponent, but he doesn't know how to defeat his opponent in the next five or even ten years.
At the end, Old Nelson turned his eyes to Chamberlain and asked, "What should we do if you say? Today I am going to choose Paul George, this damn little guy."
Chamberlain looked out the window and they were on the second floor, with a very good location, and he could see that in the small green room, Paul George was looking around in one direction nervously. Chamberlain had been paying attention to his gaze before, so he knew that he was looking at the Pacers' VIP room.
Since he could find this, Old Nelson had no reason and was unclear, so he immediately understood that the old man was testing him.
In fact, Chamberlain also has a solution, but he can't tell this method, otherwise he will not want to be the boss of the Warriors in the future.
So he pretended to be stupid and shrugged, "I don't know, H6, I just want to play well, you should decide on such a thing."
Old Nelson didn't ask, he smiled, and then said to the people around him: "Let the word go, the Warriors want Paul George, and they are willing to send all the inside players except Chamberlain as bargaining chips."
Yes, Chamberlain had thought of this method before, but he was not as cruel as Old Nelson. If he had to choose, Ibaka would have to be left behind.
Ibaka is a potential stock, and anyone can see it.
As long as this news is sent out, the top ten teams in need of the inside will definitely help the Warriors intercept Paul George, because the Warriors still have several high-quality insiders now, and even if there is no high-quality insider, there will be countless high-quality outsiders.
The door to the trading market is about to open, and then the outside line can also become an inside line, and the inside line can also become an outside line. Just trade it.
Shortly after the news was released, Stern stood on the rostrum and said calmly: "Dear guests, dear players and their relatives, at the 2010 NH Draft, first of all, I will announce the identity of the No. 1 pick..."
As he said that, a charming female secretary in black stockings handed a envelope to Stern, who looked around with a cunning smile on his face. After he saw the name in the envelope, he just didn't read it.
Chamberlain was very dissatisfied and slapped the table and said, "It must be a damn John Wall, what are you pretending to be?"
Old Nelson sighed: "Wal is indeed a well-deserved No. 1 pick. His physical fitness is outstanding, his speed and explosiveness have reached the NH level. He can have a considerable advantage in the NHA position as a point guard. With this, no matter what kind of defender he faces, Wall can easily find a breakthrough, score and assists. "
Nelson Jr. also said: "Since high school, he has been a genius. In his fourth year of high school, he averaged 2.l points, 6 assists, 2 rebounds and 20 steals. He led Ward Catholic College to be unstoppable in the North Carolina First High School League. He was the number one high school student in the United States that year. As for his college career, let alone, he won all the honors that college players can win in just one year."
