1254.The most deserted draft ever

Over the years, there has never been a draft with such low attention. Because of the Ice Clause, the attention of a draft that was originally low has become even lower.

On the evening of June 27, the draft started smoothly.

The Raptors selected Andre Bargnani with the No. 1 pick. The Bulls suddenly gave up on the selection before the draft. Instead, they used this first-round pick to reach a deal with the Trail Blazers and got four of the Trail Blazers.

With the No. 1 pick and the rights to sign Russia's Viktor Koryapa, the Trail Blazers selected LaMarcus Aldridge.

Everyone knows that the No. 2 player must be Aldridge, but the Bulls have so many stars that even Eddie Curry can be given up for nothing. In terms of reputation, Eddie Curry is much more famous than Aldridge.

The Knicks did not have a single draft pick this year. They gave it to the Bulls in the first round without protection, and then transferred it to the Hawks in the second round.

The Knicks management really wanted this second pick, but the Bulls abandoned it like a pair of shoes.

With the No. 3 pick... Boss Joe stretched out his evil hand again and took away Adam Morrison.

Liu Mang watched Adam Morrison sitting next to his agent on TV excitedly hugging Jordan. He could only say in his mind: Teacher, I'm sorry for you...

Schwartz did a great job this year in grabbing one of the two popular rookies, Aldridge and Adam Morrison, but the one he grabbed was Adam Morrison. It’s not that he didn’t want to grab them together, that’s how business is, no.

Just think about it.

Just like the Hawks management tried to use Iguodala plus the 16th pick to trade the 4th pick with the Trail Blazers, but was rejected, and the trade for the 5th pick was also rejected, the Trail Blazers because of Rasheed Wallace

After being reborn with the Hawks, he had a bad relationship with the Hawks management. Aldridge was a Mavericks fan and didn't like the Hawks, so he refused to join Schwartz's camp.

Then...Adam Morrison was recommended to Jordan by Schwartz...

When Liu Mang saw that Jordan was still very happy, he silently felt sorry for his teacher...

Now not many people think Jordan made the wrong choice. Although Adam Morrison has diabetes, he was too strong in college. He averaged 28 points per game in his senior year...50% shooting from the field and 100% from the three-point range.

Forty, the free throw percentage was 92%, and he single-handedly led the team to the quarterfinals of March Madness. Among the white players in the history of the NCAA, the name of the player better than Adam Morrison in college is La

Lee Bird...

Schwartz signed a rookie who was definitely among the top five picks. Liu Mang couldn't possibly let Schwartz terminate the contract. The commission was worth hundreds of thousands.

I can only feel sorry for the teacher.

The little girl was watching the news together. When she saw Liu Mang's disgusted expression when he looked at the close-up of Adam Morrison, she said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle, Morrison is very powerful. You can't treat him just because he is white."

Discriminate against him!"

Liu Mang felt weird when he said this again. These white people must have persecution delusions! It would be great if they were not discriminated against by you. Who dares to discriminate against you?

Liu Mang stared at the little Loli for a long time, making the little Loli feel fuzzy.

"Uncle, what do you want to do?" Little Loli asked warily.

"It's okay, I just want to say, Dinah, let me see if you find a boyfriend in the future. Your taste is too bad." Liu Mang teased.

"Ah?" Little Loli didn't understand.

"Look at you, the Australian center you are optimistic about..."

"...Uncle, let's watch the draft..."

Looking at the Trail Blazers' fourth and fifth picks, they first used their team's fourth pick plus the right to sign a European player to get Aldridge, and then used it to get it from the Warriors.

won Brandon Roy with the fifth pick, Liu Mang was extremely jealous.

The first three picks were unwilling to be traded, and the Bulls were the least likely to do so. The fourth and fifth picks were all in the hands of the Trail Blazers, and Liu Mang watched helplessly as the Trail Blazers drafted Aldridge and Roy.

The two strongest ones were selected, and the rest were not of much interest. With the 16th pick, the Hawks selected Rajon Rondo, who was originally predicted to be late in the first round, and became the first pick in the second round.

The Hawks selected Millsap, and with the eighth pick in the second round, they selected Ryan Hollins.

Originally there were two options, Novak and Tucker, but unless Tucker plays like the Rockets more than ten years later, he will be miserable in the early stage. Playing as a power forward seems to be fast and resistant, and he can switch defenses and lines, but

Mainly playing outside...Liu Mang remembers that Tucker was waived in his rookie season after being drafted. He didn't get a contract for the next six or seven years. It wasn't until the Suns traded Nash in 2012 to start rebuilding that they randomly found players to make up the lineup.

, he got another chance.

If you really need it, you can wait until he is cut and unable to play, and then bring him for a trial training.

In a draft where there was not much excitement, the fans discussed whether Liu Mang, Wade, James, and Yao Ming would ask for the Ice clause, which was even more popular than in this draft.



On June 28, the second day of the draft, Liu Mang received a notice from Schwartz, asking him to return to Atlanta to discuss a salary increase with the team.

Schwartz is communicating with the team to reassure the Eagles that Liu Mang doesn't pay too much attention to this matter and tells them not to worry, but Price doesn't think so! He owes his success to Liu Mang and nothing else.

Yes.

After he returned to Atlanta from New York after the draft, he immediately asked the team's lawyer to calculate Liu Mang's remaining 2+1 contract issues.

When Liu Mang returned, a drafted new contract was ready, worth 17,632,003,224 million U.S. dollars. The remaining three years of Liu Mang's contract had been significantly improved, with the later years

, the higher the improvement ratio.

All of a sudden, Liu Mang became the sixth-highest-paid star in the league, surpassing Kobe, Duncan, Nowitzki and so on...

However, this is only a draft, and it cannot be truly reached until the league announces the details of the terms in the summer and the team owners vote to approve it.

As for the players union... they certainly won't refuse.

Watching Liu Mang leave, Price felt very tired. When the American cable TV station came up with this incident, it scared him. Fortunately, Liu Mang didn't pay too much attention to this kind of thing.

Raising Liu Mang's salary is not a big deal, it's just that the rules don't allow it.

The team's profit is 44 million, but Liu Mang's value is far more than 44 million. If the league really agrees that Liu Mang will receive 32 million a year in addition to luxury tax like Jordan, Price will definitely give it.

It's so obvious to see the Rockets' net profit drop from fifth in the 2004-05 season to ninth in the 2005-06 season. This was the first year after Yao Ming left.
