The talent show opened with eager anticipation.

"In the 2012 NBA Draft, the New Orleans Hornets chose the first pick in the first round, Anthony Davis, from the University of Kentucky!"

When Li Xing looked back at his potential, he was indeed a small existence that could see all the mountains.

The only player in this draft has a potential value of A.

"While this kid has excellent athletic ability, he can also have the height of a power forward and the technical characteristics of a guard, which makes him unique on the basketball court."

Davis walked to the stage and shook hands with the president, then smiled and showed himself.

His eyebrows are really outrageous.

Li Xing tapped his fingers on the table, and the next thing was the key point. He wanted to see who Jordan chose.

For his advice, he said the phone call for so long, and if he was still stubborn, his team deserved to be a team that had been a bad team for thousands of years.

Michael Gilchrist, here is simply called selling chickens... Bah, it's Maikegee.

Jordan likes this player very much, why? Because he thinks that Maikegee has the shadow of Scott Pippen.

Who is Pipen? The greatest second in command under the shadow of the giant, the founder of the Bull Dynasty.

Maikegee is a player who has proven himself to be a winner, with a good character and can contribute both offensively and defensively. He brings a steady start to the Bobcats' unstable roster.

This is a player who can use toughness, scrambling and defense to create a attitude of winning the team.

The problem is that Maikege lacks the potential for offense, and the Bobcats are really struggling to score.

Maikegee is more of a beautified character player than a superstar like Scott Pipen.

It's more reasonable to choose a player like Brad Bill or even Thomas Robinson, and it seems obvious to use the second pick for more.

Li Xing recommended Lillard to him, who was the only player among these players who reached Class A in terms of potential.

Most of the others are potential at the level of A- and B.

However, older rookies like Lillard are really not popular in today's era.

The NBA's young obsession with rookies is comparable to that of pedophiles. The younger the better, the younger the better, the more malleable the higher the younger the plasticity, and the younger the more futuristic it is.

The team is in a vicious circle and just wants to choose young people.

That is, the strong combat power is synonymous with "this fucking has no potential."

Jordan was an older rookie back then, but in that era, older rookies were not uncommon.

And at this age, it is very strange to be older.

Li Xing took a deep breath, and he was waiting for Jordan's choice.

When Stern walked to the front again, he held the Bobcats' final choice.

“2012 NBA Draft.”

"Charlotte Bobcats chose the second pick, Damian Lillard!"

“This is an incredible choice!”

When Stern read the name, everyone on the scene thought he had pronounced it wrong.

An older rookie, short and strong in combat, actually took the second pick?

That's it, can you fucking let him sell the chicken, Bradley Bill and others choose him?

"Jordan once again made a sensational decision!"

When Stern pronounced this name, Li Xing smiled, and the old boy Jordan finally chose to believe him.

After a while, he received a condolence text from Jordan.

"I'm glad we took Damian and hope you're right."

Li Xing snorted, of course he was right.

Next, the places where the stars of various fields have basically not changed.

Li Xing got up and went for breakfast.

He knew that at this speed, Stern's sissy slutty could not be the second turn until twelve o'clock.

Chris Middleton was selected in the ninth pick in the second round, and the team that selected him was the Pistons.

He was about to put on the piston hat when a staff member ran towards him urgently.

Middleton was so calm that he didn't look like a rookie. He let the staff who rushed over to stabilize: "The sky cannot fall."

"Chris, you've been traded to Toronto."

Middleton was stunned.

"When did it happen?"

"just."

So Middleton silently took off the Pistons' hat and picked out the maple leaf hat that belonged to the Raptors.

Vaguely, he remembered what Li Xing said to him during his trial training at the Esbjor Center.

Perhaps his fate had already been decided at that time.

Interestingly, Will Barton, who competed with Middleton on the same day, was selected by the Trail Blazers at the 10th pick in the second round.

Button was about to give a speech about "I'm honored to join the Trail Blazers, a super team" and his agent came to him and told him: "They traded you to Toronto."

"are you sure?"

Patton took a deep breath.

The agent nodded and said, "It's true. I've confirmed it several times, and there's no mistake."

Patton threw away the hat on his head: "It might be better!"

On draft day, the Raptors made two deals.

First, they traded Quincy Pondsett with the 23rd pick in the second round of this year to the Pistons for Middleton.

Then she took out Shelwin Mark and the Trail Blazers and exchanged them for Will Barton.

In the eyes of the outside world, both parties took the needs of these two transactions, and neither of them lost.

It may also be that the Raptors lost.

Pondsett and Mark both proved their strength rotation in the playoffs, but they actually traded it like this.

Only Li Xing knows how profitable these two transactions are. One day, the Pistons and the Trail Blazers will definitely reflect on themselves in endless regrets.

Why trade with the Raptors?

At the same time, he was also saddened by the departure of Pondsett and Mark.

Pondsett got two rings with the Raptors, and Mark was also an important contributor to the championship this season.

No matter what they are for, they are leaving now.

Before they parted, Li Xing called them to Banyani's house for a small party.

Pondsett and Mark both saw it very well. Role players like them were to be traded again and again as bargaining chips.

They are all mentally prepared.

"Will that guy really be better than me?" Mark asked.

Li Xing smiled bitterly, of course he was better than him.

Banyani was even more sad. He finally stopped a horseman and was about to leave. His power had not yet been consolidated.

"Andrea, from now on, you are alone again."

When the man was about to leave, Mark became bolder.

"It's okay, my child is about to be born, I won't be alone."

Banyani raised his glass and said, "I believe you will live better when you are in a new place."

"That's not necessarily." Pondsett knew the condition of the piston.

There may be more playing time there, but it will definitely not be more comfortable than the Raptors.

"I just hope to stabilize, it's not good to keep moving."

Mark has heard many stories of veterans wandering around the United States.

They are role players, they have strong functionality and there are teams to ask for it wherever they go.

Their functionality is not unique and therefore, once there is a trade, they are bargaining chips.

Some veterans who have been in the NBA for more than ten years may change teams every year, but in an exaggerated manner, they have changed two or three teams in a year.

Mark doesn't like that kind of life.

If his career was to progress like this, he would rather work hard overseas and find a stable residence.

"Quncy, Shelwin, life will not be always good, I believe you will all have a bright future."
