Jordan called this time because he wanted to ask Sun Hao for his opinion on the draft.

Sun Hao is not surprised at all.

Counting the signing of Arenas last time, this is the third time Jordan has found himself.

With the previous consecutive success stories, the basketball god has already firmly believed in his vision of seeing people.

Sun Hao feels that it is not bad for him to retire directly to become the general manager of the Wizards.

Just kidding, of course.

The general manager only earns much, and he is not interested in that now.

But what surprised Sun Hao was that Jordan designated a point guard this time.

It stands to reason that the Wizards now have Arenas in the starting lineup and Mobley on the bench. There is no shortage of point guards.

However, it can also be understood that Jordan wants Mobley to return to play shooting guard and is choosing a qualified substitute for Arenas.

Sun Hao was not stingy either, and recommended a few candidates.

Jamal Nelson, this is Howard's golden partner guard in history. Although he is only 1.83 meters, his style of play is tough and he has the strength to start.

However, the Wizards now hold the No. 22 pick, which may not be selected.

In addition to Nelson, there is Delonte West, a combo guard, and one of James' Cavaliers teammates in history.

And Benno Udry, if Jordan really wants to choose to be a backup point guard, then he is definitely the most suitable choice.

"Are you leaving Dallas?"

After talking about the draft, Jordan asked Sun Hao such a question.

This year is a rare free agent year at the beginning of the century. Rasheed Wallace, Kobe, Nash, and Camby are all completely free agents.

Sun Hao is also a free agent, but because he has just fulfilled his rookie contract, he is a restricted free agent.

Restricted free agents, as the name suggests, are restricted free agents, and the home team has the right to match all contracts.

Jordan asked this, apparently after being rejected before, he still had "thoughts" about Sun Hao.

"Won't."

Sun Hao's answer was more direct.

He has established a deep enough fan base in Dallas, and the Chinatown there is getting bigger and bigger.

Plus a boss like Cuban, a gold medal partner like Nowitzki, and the returning old Nelson.

If he left on his own initiative, his head would really be bubbling.

"I'll try."

Although he heard Sun Hao's answer, Jordan still said he would try it.

After all, Sun Hao is a restricted free agent. If the Mavericks took the initiative to trade Sun Hao, it would be another matter.

Well, it's the same as the obedience adjustment after completing the college entrance examination.

Not long after the two chatted, Sun Hao also quickly saw the Wizards' choice.

They ended up picking Jamal Nelson with the 22nd overall pick.

In history, Nelson should go to the Magic, but now that history has changed, this wave can be regarded as a profit for the Wizards.

Soon, the draft came to the end of the first round.

"With the 27th overall pick in the first round of the NBA in 2004, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Trevor Ariza, a 2.03-meter small forward from UCLA."

At this moment, the Lakers gave Sun Hao a big "surprise".

This surprise gave Sun Hao the most direct feeling: there is a traitor among us!

Otherwise, in history, Ariza was selected in the middle of the second round, and the possibility of running to the end of the first round is very low!

You must know that Ariza has only been in college for one year, averaging 11.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, which is a typical offensive rough guy.

And this possibility is not small, it is not uncommon for the NBA to sell news to each other.

After the Lakers, the Mavericks.

"The 28th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2004, the Dallas Mavericks chose Anderson Varejao, a 2.11-meter center from Brazil."

After hearing the Mavericks' choice, Sun Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ariza was intercepted, but the Brazilian actor won, this wave of blood is not a loss.

And another signal sent here is that although the old Nelson has left the team for a year, he still has a lot of say in the team.

This also means that the old Nelson is likely to return to the team next season.

In this way, the Mavericks have a much better chance of regaining the top next season.

The Pacers selected David Harrison with the 30th overall pick, and the first round of the draft came with it.

Both Ariza and Varejao were selected, and there are basically no players left who can Taobao in the second round.

Sun Hao didn't continue to pay attention to the draft, and then went to the evolution home for training.

The national team has a very important task this summer, the Athens Olympics.

Harris had already started accepting national team affairs before the end of the season.

When the free market is over, he will also have to report to the national team.

The Olympic Games are different from the World Championships. For athletes, this is the biggest event in the world.

In terms of gold content, the Olympic champion is far better than the world champion.

They failed to reach the finals in Shanghai before, but this time in Athens their goal is to reach the finals, and even...champions!

And this is not blind confidence. Two years have passed, and many things have changed.

He has gone from a sophomore to an FMVP, the second-ranked player in MVP!

Yao Ming has also changed from a freshman who just entered the league to the head star of the Wizards and the second center in the league.

Oh, by the way, in last season's MVP selection, Yao Ming also got 3% of the votes.

Although it is small, it can also show that his strength is already at the top of the league.

In addition, Yi Jianlian has finished his rookie season in the NBA and performed well.

Wang Zhizhi is now a core rotation player for the Warriors.

Such a Chinese team is completely a championship-level team!

Therefore, ambition is ambition, and strength is strength. He and the Chinese team are definitely going to make trouble in Athens this time.

The door to the free market is about to open, and various rumors are emerging one after another.

Sun Hao didn't need to inquire, with Fu Paulo around, he grasped the information faster than the media.

But don't underestimate brokers, they have far more access to information than most people think.

For example, Paul Fu has first-hand information about McGrady.

The Magic are not planning to form any new OK combination, they are going to send McGrady away.

The main reason is that McGrady has a lot of potential injuries.

Maybe this sounds unbelievable, after all, McGrady is now a top ten superstar in the league.

But there is a saying that once you are caught by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

There was "Penny" Hardaway in the front, and Hill in the back. The Magic have suffered more than once.

When dealing with McGrady, they are naturally cautious.

In the eyes of the Magic's management, instead of waiting for McGrady to have a major injury outbreak like Hardaway and Hill, it is better to trade for as many things as possible while he has trade value.

You must know that although the Magic had a poor record last season, McGrady has completed the feat of scoring two consecutive times.

His transaction value at this time is still very high.

After listening to it, Sun Hao couldn't help feeling a capitalist.

O'Neal left, Hill was seriously injured, and the Magic have relied on McGrady to sell tickets in recent years.

Besides, the Magic's lineup has been poor in the past few years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that McGrady supported it with his own strength.

In the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of being sold.

And from Fu Paulo's mouth, Sun Hao also knew that the management of the Magic team has begun to discredit McGrady in order to give the fans an explanation.

The "Orlando Sentinel" said that McGrady is not a qualified leader, and he also brought up the frustrated remarks of McGrady last season because of his losing streak.

Well, it's like the "Is Shaquille O'Neal Worth $115 Million" survey they sent out back then.

What's more intriguing is that the general manager of the Magic, Weiss Broad, said in an interview that the trade application was submitted by McGrady himself.

McGrady did not come out to argue.

At this time, you can see his character. If Kobe would definitely say that it is not like this!

And if it is Jordan, it is estimated that a press conference will be held, and the general manager will be angry by the way.

But McGrady is McGrady, and he really gave the Magic a wish list.

But when Sun Hao asked which teams, Paul Fu shook his head.

He has no news about these yet.

However, in terms of benefits, McGrady is more likely to be traded to the West.

After all, McGrady's transaction value is high now, and the stars who can be exchanged are definitely not weak.

If you trade to the East, it is tantamount to creating a competitor for yourself.

This made Sun Hao even more curious. In history, McGrady went to Houston because Yao Ming was there.

But Yao Ming is not in Houston right now.

Counting the teams, the most likely one is... the Suns?

Marbury can become a core bargaining chip, and a bunch of young talents of the Suns are also competitive.

Well, the theoretical analysis is like this, but before the transaction actually happens, everything is possible.

Sun Hao and Fu Paulo were chatting, and an unexpected guest came to the Evolution House, Nash.

And as soon as Nash came, he brought a very exciting news to Sun Hao.

"I might have to leave Oakland."

Sun Hao was a little confused. Didn't Nash play well in the Warriors?

Last season, Nash's personal data reached a career high, and he led the team to 50 wins.

You can't change teams just because you've been out in the first round for two consecutive years, right?

If that's the case, then he is the culprit.

But fortunately, judging from the communication with Nash later, that is not the main reason.

The main reason is the Oakland fans.

Just like Sun Hao said with emotion last season, those fans have forgotten what kind of team Nash was before going to the Warriors.

What those fans remember is only Nash's hot-eyed defense.

"Why would I stay in Oakland if they all dislike me so much?"

Nash's words revealed a trace of desolation.

But this is also his character. Steve is so jealous, he certainly can't stand the attitude of the fans.

"Then where are you going?"

Sun Hao asked.

"I don't know. After discussing with my agent, I plan to test the free market first. If..."

Nash hesitated to speak.

Sun Hao looked at him.

"If it's possible, we might be able to play together again."

Nash continued.

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment.

Well, he suddenly had the same feeling as that Nash fan and Nash.

Although Steve is jealous, but he has done this for two consecutive years and said he wants to play with him, there is no doubt that he really loves it.

And don't tell me, as both of them have entered the peak, playing together must be different from the beginning.

However, if this possibility is to be published, there are too many things to consider.

First, where do they play together.

Nash back in Dallas?

This looks like the most suitable option, the Mavericks can trade Finley, let Bell play small forward.

In the old Nelson's system, the three brothers now add up to be very explosive on the offensive end.

However, it is estimated that Cuban will be the first to disagree.

A good horse doesn't turn his back on grass, not to mention he was beaten in the face because of this grass.

But in other places, it means that he will be separated from Nowitzki.

Secondly, and more critically, he is a restricted free agent, not where he can go wherever he wants, this is the most critical.

However, Nash's proposal is also considered a possibility.

And Sun Hao thought of another possibility at this time.

If McGrady was traded to the Suns as he expected, then Marbury would not be in the Suns!

In other words, the Suns will definitely need a starting point guard.

If Nash goes again, Nash + McGrady + Marion + Stoudemire, this is the lineup that will go to heaven!

"Steve, I think you can stop looking for a new home in a hurry, and look at the trends in the free market first."

Sun Hao gave himself advice.

Nash nodded seriously after listening.

His current coffee position cannot reach the point where Kobe and Tracy McGrady enter the free market to stir up the league.

It is a wiser choice to wait and see.

Moreover, he is already 30 years old, and it is time for him to produce results.

If he continues to play in the first round like this, his career may be like this.

...

Time passed quickly, and it was already the 30th in a blink of an eye.

The entanglement between McGrady and the Magic was rumored.

But on this day, it wasn't Tracy McGrady that attracted the most attention, but... Kobe.

In the Western Conference semifinals with the Mavericks last season, O'Neal once said such a sentence when he fell behind 0 to 2.

"Someone needs to know that the Lakers can't win without me."

This sentence caused a lot of controversy at the beginning. When the reporter threw this sentence to Kobe, Kobe chose to remain silent.

But until this day, Kobe spoke in front of the media.

"After that I decided not to be teammates with Shaq, what he said, what he said to the media, that I couldn't win without him, so I'm going to show you shit I'm going to accept the challenge, whether it's in Los Angeles or anywhere else. I'll accept the challenge."

After this passage was reported by the media, the fans in Los Angeles were immediately blown away.

The translation of this passage is straightforward: Me or O'Neill, you can only keep one, if you choose O'Neill, then I will leave!

Kobe, this is forcing the Lakers management!

O'Neill was really blown away.

If it weren't for him, the Lakers would have been eliminated by the Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals last season.

The result is good now, Kobe took the lead in launching the attack!

McGrady, Orlando; Nash, Oakland; OK combination, Los Angeles!

This year's free market has not yet officially opened, but it is already in full swing!
