The Rest, Only Noise

The 1990 NBA Draft was held on June 27, 1990 in New York, New York, USA.

This year's draft is perhaps the most uninspiring session since 1983.

The disastrous 1983 draft left Ralph Sampson three seasons early for the NBA, leaving him with no choice. That year, the Indiana Pacers, who held the No. 1 overall pick, selected Steve Stipanovich C, a white center who was as famous as Sampson in high school and also had a height of 2.2 meters. Ability-wise, he's fine, but he hasn't lived up to his potential and has dealt a heavy blow to the white center's reputation.

But even though the 1983 draft seemed to be overshadowed by a lack of top talent, it still produced stars like Drexler, Dale Ellis, Jeff Malone, Doc Rivers and more.

Therefore, talent on paper can only represent current expectations and will not determine future heights.

With the No. 1 overall pick in the first round, the Sonics don't seem to have any reason to give up No. 1 pick Derek Coleman.

In the end, they also took Coleman with the first overall pick in the first round.

The Warriors (from the Nets), who had the second overall pick, naturally had no choice but to take Gary Payton out of nowhere.

TNT commentator Doug Collins made Louie laugh when he commented on Payton: "Gary Payton is probably the most talkative guy in this draft class."

Given Payton's notorious mouth, indeed, he's quite "talkative."

Then came the key. The Heat, who made a big surprise attack before the draft, took the third pick in the first round and stared at this year's rookies.

Louis had already planned behind his back with Lewis Shafir, but whether it was implemented according to his plan depends on the follow-up.

The Heat still drafted Chris Jackson.

Louie wasn't surprised, it was part of the plan.

Meanwhile, in Elgin Baylor's office, the phone rang incessantly.

There are many teams that want the eighth pick in the hands of the Knicks, because there are not many good players this year, and the draft picks are not valuable.

Don't say that Baylor can't call the shots, even if he can call the shots, he won't agree.

Baylor heard rumors of the Miami trade through his own sources.

As soon as Baylor got the news, someone came to tell Louie.

The Heat are plotting the rights to Chris Jackson in exchange for the Charlotte Hornets' fifth pick in the first round.

Jackson and Payton, like Coleman, are the only three T1 players in this draft.

The value of his signing rights is significantly greater than that of the fifth pick, so the Heat can ask for more in the trade.

Louis offered Shafir two ideas.

The first is to get draft rights and trade Jackson's signing rights for the Hornets' No. 5 pick plus a future first-rounder.

The second one is the combat power. The Hornets are currently in a predicament, and the existence of Knicks legend Dale Ellis, known as the "original Hornets", has obviously affected the process of two new Hornets taking over the team - Rex Chapman and Glen Rice-Ai Liss is the best shooter in the league and has made great contributions to Louie's first championship in the Knicks, but his temper is an unstable factor, he is not good at communication and communication, and also brings trouble to his teammates.

From a long-term development point of view, the transaction is also in line with the needs of the Hornets.

However, Shafir made his choice wisely.

He doesn't want Ellis.

The reason is very simple, the Hornets' coach can't handle it, can his coach handle it? Then maybe he's not busy working in vain? So, without saying, just ask the Hornets' No. 5 pick plus an unprotected future first-rounder.

According to the informant, Shafir was tough and aggressive in the negotiations.

That's why Louie thinks the informant is bullshitting.

As far as Lewis Shafir's character and attitude are concerned? Aggressive? How do these words fit together?

The rumors were unpredictable, and the result was that the Heat traded Jackson's signing rights for the Hornets' No. 5 pick and a 1994 first-round pick.

The Kings with the No. 4 pick faced tough choices, and they finally made a sensible decision to draft Denis Scott.

This guy is the safest pick in this draft.

That's the kind of maturity that you don't have to worry about, but don't expect him to bring many surprises.

After that, the Heat's No. 5 pick, following Louie's suggestion, Shafir decisively selected Kendall Gill.

The trades involved in this choice, and the costs and resources that the Heat put into it, all show that the Miami natives are in the stud.

Shafir unconditionally believed Louie's recommendation, and brought back the No. 2 position with the most offensive and defensive capabilities in this draft.

Shafir's choice cemented his partnership with Louis.

He convinces Louis that this is Tie Hanhan who will follow through on whatever advice he gives. Louis had heard a lot of rumors about Shafir. In those rumors, Shafir was smart and tough, just like Auerbach.

However, he dared to swear with his own life, if this guy is Auerbach II, Auerbach should have died of meningitis caused by shame.

A mediocre draft tends to have several characteristics.

The selection is tangled, the team is not excited, and all kinds of trade rumors are flying around to sell draft rights.

However, few teams will put it into practice.

Because draft picks are worthless, it's better than nothing.

After that, the Orlando Magic took Felton Spencer, the only big man in the top six.

The Timberwolves immediately broke the big upset in the draft - they skipped the Heat's core Hank Gaithers' college teammate Bo Kimbell, and went to the University of Georgia's white insider Alec Keys Le (Alec Kessler PF).

That choice, as odd as the Spurs' 12th pick in 2021, is Joshua Primo. Because Primo doesn't have a lottery prospect, no, he doesn't even have a mid-first-round prospect. Compared to the rest of the draft class, his biggest advantage is youth (the youngest in the class). Maybe the Spurs chose him because there was solid news that another team had given Primo the top draft pick, and they had to.

Either way, it's a gamble, and either the Spurs front office proves itself again or becomes a laughing stock.

And about the Timberwolves taking the seventh overall pick, a white insider who has never even heard of it...

"Grateful...thankful..."

Louie hugs a colleague in the office.

They're really worried about Lionel Simmons getting drafted.

Unexpectedly, the Timberwolves did not choose Kimbell and Simmons, who were obviously better, and chose Kessler who everyone did not know.

Isn't this kind of self-denial spirit worthy of encouragement and praise?

If it wasn't for that idiot general manager of the Timberwolves who teamed up with Krause last year, Louie would have made a phone call to thank him.

"Is it our turn?"

Baylor asked expectantly.

"Yeah." Louis nodded.

Baylor looked at Zhao Yuanzheng: "Who to choose?"

Zhao Yuanzheng looked at Baylor in amazement.

After all, he is the general manager. It is too exaggerated to even know who to choose?

"Don't look at me like that, this brat said that there are not many people to choose from this year, and I'm afraid that I will be intercepted for leaking secrets, so I really can't see through." Belle complained in front of Louis.

Louie cleared his throat and said with a sweet smile: "I haven't told a story about someone calling an old teammate to leak team secrets and allowing the Lakers to rebuild at the speed of light in months."

"Enough of you! I didn't reveal any secrets at all! Didn't I just... say something nice about Scottie Pippen!"

Seeing that the optimist was in a hurry, Louis stopped provoking him.

"Anyway, it's not time to announce the answer, why don't you talk about it, who is better for us to sign?"

This is the annual "Rule out a wrong answer" session.

Baylor's poor drafting ability is as famous as his tragic history as a player.

What's more, Baylor's long-term failure as the Clippers' general manager has affected his historic status as the number one uncrowned king.

Because when you find that such a **** general manager is actually an amazing player~www.novelmt.com~ but never wins in the finals, presumably, many people will associate these two experiences.

Baylor didn't have so many pretensions, so he opened his mouth and said, "There's not much to choose from. I think Bo Kimbell is good. Are we not short of guards? He can completely replace Honey's vacancy."

"Also, when he was in the combined workout in Chicago, he knocked out Gary Payton one-on-one (fact)." Baylor said firmly, "I believe there is no better choice."

Louis did not refute Baylor, but motioned Zhao Yuanzheng to call the front line.

Having said that, Kimbell was able to beat Payton one-on-one, which is really against the cognition.

But it also proves that one-on-one, three-on-three and five-on-five in basketball are three distinct sports.

And there's nothing worse than judging players one-on-one.

At the scene of the draft, Stern announced the Knicks' choice later-"In the 1990 NBA draft, New York selected with the eighth pick in the first round... Lionel Simmons, from LS University!"

⑴ History, the whole selection of Kessler's team is the Rockets. The Rockets used the twelfth pick to select a player with a high probability of losing. After Kessler was drafted, there was a reaction similar to Primo's incredible reaction when he was told by his agent that the Spurs were taking him with the 12th overall pick (Prime's reaction was roughly: Are you **** kidding me?).

And Kessler was interviewed at the time, the content is as follows:

Famous reporter Seg asked Kessler: "Are you surprised by your draft pick?"

Kessler: "A little bit."

Seg: "Just a little bit? Card, let's be honest."

Then Kessler smiled coyly: "Okay, I gotta admit, I'm **** shocked."

Distressed big dream for a second.
