Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Chapter 648: 1997 Draft (5)

The Bucks can be regarded as picking up a miss, at least in Bruce's opinion.

With the addition of Antonio Daniels, the Bucks can definitely improve very quickly in a short period of time. Of course, after all, these young Bucks have insufficient experience in the game, and temporarily cannot threaten the status of the Han.

That's for sure. Bruce has also configured some old talents to bring these rookies on the basis of the existing Han people. This shortens the time for these young people to slowly gain experience and can improve the team's strength a lot faster. .

On the other hand, the Bucks, what veterans are in their team, it can be said that there is no one who can play, and with this, the Han is enough to kill the opponent in seconds.

There is also the fact that the Bucks will certainly not have the Hans so stable and will not trade players frequently. This has led to basically no team that is stronger than the Hans in the East, that is, after Jordan retires, even with the city. The opponent's Knicks are the same.

"I announce that the Sacramento Kings selected the forward Tim Thomas from Villanueva University with the 9th overall pick in the first round!"

To be honest, the King’s choice is totally correcting, why? Because in the 1996 draft, they had already selected small forward Peja, but Peja Peja Stojaco was helpless. Vicki still has a contract in Europe. If he wants to appear in the NBA, it must be at least 98 years old. It is only in 1997. The team currently lacks small forwards, so continue to use the lottery to sign small forwards. Tim Thomas makes sense.

No way, time waits for no one. You can't let the Kings continue to let other players insist on playing small forwards.

"I announce that the Indiana Pacers selected forward Danny Fordson from the University of Cincinnati with the 10th overall pick in the first round!"

Originally, the Pacers had decided to choose Austin Crosill according to the original history, but who let Danny Fordson fall in this position? A power forward with such strength must be the first to choose Sa.

The Pacers’ management thinks that the rest will certainly not be so good. Anyway, according to the NCAA game data, it’s just a matter of choosing whoever has good data and is not selected. This is a very common thing. Up.

"I announce that the Cleveland Cavaliers selected guard Derek Anderson from the University of Kentucky with the 11th overall pick in the first round!"

Another player from the University of Kentucky, Derek Anderson shined brightly at Kentucky State University. In 1996, as a junior in college, he led the Wildcats into the National Championship and soon became one of the most prominent teams in the country. They do have the strength to help the University of Kentucky team win the 1996 NCAA championship.

So the Cavaliers choose Kentucky guard Derek Anderson is not a loss, at least they are members of the college championship team.

"I announce that the Los Angeles Clippers selected forward Morris Taylor from the University of Michigan with the 12th overall pick in the first round!"

There is nothing to say about this. When the Clippers were in the hands of Donald Sterling, the boat was leaking everywhere. It’s not uncommon to choose anyone. Anyway, the Clippers basically get the same results every year. It’s fixed. It’s not anyone. It can be saved.

"I announce that the Cleveland Cavaliers selected guard Blevin Knight from Stanford University with the 13th overall pick in the first round!"

In fact, the first pick originally belonged to the Washington Bullets, but now it belongs to the Cavaliers because of the trade. In this way, the Cavaliers have 2 picks in the lottery this year. Because it is a young draft year, the value is not too great. If it's a draft year, the Bullets will definitely not be willing to come out, after all, they are the last in the lottery.

The Cavaliers chose Derek Anderson and Blevin Knight to add to the team’s definite guard position. This seems reasonable to everyone. After all, the current Cavaliers are really bad at the guard line. It can be said that Bob Sura and Terrell Brandon are the only ones who can take shots now, and the rest are not trustworthy.

This is why the Cavaliers chose two guards in a row.

At this time, the live screen began to change, and a transaction took place.

The first is the deal between the Lakers and the Raptors.

The Lakers sent all-star center Vlad Divac + the No. 24 pick in the first round of 1997 + the No. 51 pick in the second round to get Tracy McGrady.

The Raptors picked Tracy McGrady with the No. 4 pick to get the Lakers' All-Star center Vlad Divac and the Lakers' two draft picks this year.

It can be said that this deal looks like the Lakers lost and the Raptors earned it!

But actually? !

The Raptors and the Lakers are alike, at least that's what Bruce thinks.

Why do you say that? !

This has to start from last year’s draft. Originally, Jerry West was going to use All-Star-level center Vlad Divac to trade with the Hornets’ management for Kobe to come to Los Angeles.

But with Bruce secretly intercepting Kobe in advance, and Vlad Divac learned that he was only worth one of the final lottery picks, after all, he is also an All-Star, is it worth this chip? ! Originally, Vlad Divac was going to play for the Lakers until he was old, but now it’s fine. The Lakers don’t want him to stay at all. They just want to trade him away in this way. Now everyone Smoked by the gas!

So that the arrival of O'Neal later gave him the top position, forcing him to go to the power forward position to play his residual heat, so under this series of blows, Vlad Divac also had to face. So he wanted to leave Los Angeles a long time ago, and his disgust for the Lakers has long been in his heart.

After Jerry West missed Kobe, he was ready to start with future rookies. In Jerry West’s view, McGrady’s talent is definitely higher than Kobe’s (of course this must be based on McGrady’s good physical condition). Circumstances), since the relationship with Vlad Divac has become stalemate, well, it's the same thing to exchange Vlad Divac for McGrady!

In addition, Jerry West heard that the Hans had already negotiated the 4th pick with the Raptors. In response to an instinctive crisis, Jerry West immediately thought of the Hans taking this 4th. Who was signed.

Sometimes it is enough for a person to receive a "hit", just as Saint Seiya said in the Zodiac, the same move would be useless for me.

So Jerry West considered the weight he could only add, at least to make Raptors boss Larry Tanebaum satisfied with the offer.
