The Rest, Only Noise

When Kobe was interviewed by Seg, a staff member ran over to inform him that he was traded.

Kobe didn't seem surprised at all, and took the initiative to replace the hat with the Pistons tag on his head with the Lakers.

The same thing happened to Marcus Camby.

The Rockets sent Camby to Toronto in exchange for Marbury's signing rights and a 1999 first-round pick.

After that, the Hawks selected Lorenzen White with the eighth overall pick.

Since Kobe was intercepted by the Lakers, the trade between Mara and the Hawks was not completed.

The Chicago Bulls selected Eric Dampier with the ninth overall pick in the first round and then sent him to New York in exchange for Doug Christie.

The deal surprised Louie.

Looking back, it makes sense.

Ewing is 33 years old, and it is time to take good care of him. Since Yu Tiancan was traded, he has no good substitutes in the past few years. Dampier came to help him for a few minutes.

After the tenth pick, Monroe didn't know who to pick.

Louis said Peja.

Then he chose.

Monroe chose Peja almost without hesitation because the two sides had a precedent for successful cooperation.

The Philadelphia 76ers selected a center named Todd FullerC with the eleventh pick.

Clashing at this name feels like next year's Philadelphia has a swooping No. 1 spot.

Then again it was the Lakers' turn to make a choice.

"Call that Canadian kid," Louie said.

Little Bass smiled and said, "This is a treatment that even Kobe doesn't have."

"Who made Kobe a resale?"

So, the forum office called the draft site.

The unremarkable-looking Steve Nash, the man whom Louie had photographed, got the call.

"Steve, this is the Lakers' draft war room, are you ready to be a member of the Lakers?" Bass asked straight to the point.

On the other end of the phone, Nash was in a very emotional mood, which meant he was in the lottery.

"It's my pleasure, sir!"

"I hope to see you soon in Los Angeles and say hello to your family on my behalf."

After all, Little Bass hung up the phone.

"In the 1996 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Lakers selected 12th overall in the first round, Steve Nash..."

At this point in this draft, Louie feels that he can open champagne.

Two of the three MVP-level players in the current session are still the two with the longest shelf life. This is the talent that Louis needs.

Coupled with the existing Wilson and Garnett in the Lakers, and the Grizzlies who may draft Duncan next year, they have the opportunity to form a set of MVP @ Essence Book Pavilion starting.

This is also the original intention of Louie to design "Beautiful Basketball".

He wants to form the NBA version of the "Miracle Generation", and then let this amazing five-person team play an unprecedented mythical attack to climb to the pinnacle of basketball.

Teams like this don't last long, especially at a time when the league is determined to limit superteams. Even if there is no external interference, these five once-in-a-decade geniuses cannot be willing to bury themselves in each other's wings, and some people are bound to leave in order to prove themselves.

It's not something Louis needs to care about either.

His contract with the Lakers expired in 2000, and he just had to make sure that the mythical offense he had in mind appeared before his contract expired, and that was enough.

The struggle for power among the stars, the doomed internal friction and division of the super team, have nothing to do with him.

His quest is no longer a perfect team like the Knicks dynasty, because that is not repeatable.

The draft continues.

Microwave shooting guard Tony Delk went to Washington.

Then there is the top priority. Another high school player in this draft, Jermaine O'Neal, who is younger than Kobe, was almost recommended by Louie to the Vancouver Grizzlies.

When things came to an end, Angie hesitated instead.

He's not sure if it's worth taking O'Neal Jr. with the 18th pick in the first round.

Even though this was recommended by Louie, the opponent's high school status made Ainge, a stubborn old man who couldn't accept a player skipping college, discouraged.

He didn't take Louie's advice, and took the 18th overall pick to cut off small forward John Wallace (JohneSF).

Then, the Detroit Pistons did the opposite.

In fact, Ainge's waiver made Louie regret sending the No. 9 pick to the Pistons.

Although the Lakers' reserve at No. 4 does not require O'Neal Jr., who can choose a Yao Ming-level insider in the middle and late stages of the round (1) Who would refuse?

Louie secretly decided that if Monroe wasn't interested in high school students either, he would take back the No. 19 pick and choose O'Neal Jr.

As a result, Monroe only hesitated for a few seconds before choosing to believe Louis.

Because Louie has proven his draft vision. Moreover, if Louis dares to bet on Kobe with the No. 7 lottery, it doesn't matter if they bet on a high school insider with the 19th lottery.

O'Neal Jr. went to Detroit.

Like the previous life, Big Z (Zarjunas Ilgauskas) went to Cleveland with the 20th overall pick in the first round.

After that, Derek Fisher was drafted by Portland.

Jerome Williams was drafted by the Knicks.

After that, it was mainly the Lakers' choice.

The Lakers used the No. 28 first-round pick from the Blazers in the early years, and it is very difficult to use this pick to select good players.

Otherwise, everything depends on luck.

Louie is a deep cook, and he ceded the option of this draw to West, making the Lakers loyalist a little bit involved.

West wanted to use this pick to select Fisher, but the Blazers took the lead through a trade, so he could only take a step back and choose Malik Rose PF.

This is an unexpected choice.

Rose's market is in the middle of the second round. It's a little wasteful to pick at the end of the first round.

Louis still has some memories of Ross.

In his previous life, Rose made his debut with the Spurs and was a typical second-round player. He had no talent, but depended on diligence and fighting spirit. However, the highlight of his career was not following the Spurs to win the championship, but being watched by Isiah Thomas when he was over 30 years old. On, force a trade for Nazr Mohammed with the Spurs.

"Isiah built a championship team," Barkley exclaimed when the trade was completed.

Yes, the Spurs won that year.

Then, let's fast-forward all the way to the Lakers' last pick of the year, the 28th overall pick in the 1996 second round.

Louie pretended to ask West and others to recommend a candidate, but he knew exactly who he was picking.

After West and others said a random name, Louis chose the unknown Ben Wallace from the twenty-eighth pick in the second round.

"Who is this?" Kurt Rambis was stunned.

Louis said lightly: "Don't look at him like this, I think he will be our most cost-effective choice in this draft."

If you can pick the best defensive player of the '00s late in the second round, what's the hesitation?

Although Louie is no longer engaged in defense, the animation version of the Age of Miracles has such an outrageous existence as the Sixth Man of Steel. Is it reasonable to have the Sixth Man of Steel in the NBA version of the Age of Miracles?

At this point, the 1996 draft is over.

The Lakers selected Kobe, Nash... and Big Ben in this draft. No matter how you look at them, they are the biggest winners.
