Chapter 666 The Warcraft Descends!
After the Warriors won the championship this season, after three days of crazy celebrations, they have become the hottest team in the league. No one doubts their ability and their status as a strong team!
And as the draft is approaching, the league immediately turned to this year's draft and various messages from other teams!
On June 6, when Steve Francis' agent, Jeff Fried, directly kicked the Rockets and Magic about the exchange between him and Tracy McGrady, the entire league suddenly entered a huge shock among!
In Bruce's office, West stared at him solemnly. Thinking about the news before, he couldn't help secretly getting anxious!
In today's alliance, once some super giants are traded, it will definitely shake the alliance, especially when two super giants gather together, it will directly bring great impact to the existing alliance structure. Instability and change!
"Well, Jerry, even if this deal can be completed, I don't think the Rockets can threaten our status!!"
Bruce shook his head confidently, and then continued with a serious face: "If this deal really happens, with the current combination of Yao Ming's ability and Tracy McGrady, even if they can launch a very strong impact on the league, after all, this It is a team that has just emerged from the quagmire, relying on only the two of them, this obviously does not cause us a huge problem!"
Hearing Bruce's words, even though West had heard some rumors before, after the news was confirmed, he still felt shocked!
In the current league, the stars who can be called super giants are not as impressive as the eight 90s!
However, once they are called super giants, with their super abilities, even the worst team in the league will launch the craziest pursuit of him!
"Well, if this news is finally confirmed by the Rockets, we have to think about it. I don't think it's a very easy thing to lose Andrei (Kirilenko)!"
Bruce stared at the somewhat helpless West. After secretly recalling the deal in his previous life, he couldn't help shaking his head regretfully: "Well, why don't we find those good players in the free agent market? Where are the players?"
"Okay, looks like we've got to start with one thing at a time, or I'm going to go nuts with these questions!"
West said something depressingly, and then devoted himself to the matter of the draft!
On June 6th, as the annual draft began, among all the newcomers who were looking forward to being selected by various teams, a manager of a famous team entered the venue one after another.
In this year's draft, Bruce's Warriors will get a 22nd pick in the first round from the Trail Blazers and a 24th pick from the Boston Celtics!
Among them, coupled with the 28th pick and the 26th pick in the second round owned by the Warriors themselves, they directly won as many as four picks in this year's draft!
Sitting in the small room belonging to the Warriors, Bruce looked at the busy West with a relaxed expression!
Before the start of the draft, the managers of some teams couldn't help but get in touch!
After a while, when West hung up the phone with a relaxed expression, Bruce asked directly, "Is there any progress?"
After West heard this, he picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip, then said with a smile on his face: "Hehe, a deal of 80 US dollars is about to be completed, and San Antonio will get the one in our hands. Round lottery!"
"Aha, what did I hear??"
Bruce stared at West in surprise, really surprised by the news!
In the previous confrontation between the two teams, since the Duncan deal happened, the relationship between the two teams has gradually gone into a strange fork under the fuel of the media!
However, when he suddenly heard West's words now, even though Bruce had made some preparations before, he was very surprised when he heard that the Spurs got the draft pick!
"Haha, there are no so-called enemies in this alliance, only interests!"
West said to Bruce with a playful face, and then even when the phone rang again, he answered the phone in a leisurely manner!
This year's Rockets, after the deal about Francis broke out before, their actions have been known by a large number of teams!
When they are about to bring the scoring champion McGrady into the team, their ambitions for the future of the league have obviously attracted the attention of some teams!
Now, Dawson's call to the Warriors is undoubtedly for further reinforcement!
"Aha, Carol, you guys are really in the limelight recently!!"
Hearing West's greeting, Bruce couldn't help but signaled him to press the speakerphone with a very interested face!
"Haha, although I don't want to admit it, our current situation is really exciting!"
"Okay, Carol, it looks like you already have a goal, tell me why you are here!"
West simply asked Dawson why he came, obviously he already knew very well what the other party wanted to do!
"Hehe, Jerry, you are still so likable!"
On the phone, after Dawson said this, he went straight into a brief silence!
After he made this call, he has undoubtedly found his goal, but considering that once the deal with the Magic is finally completed, I am afraid that some bargaining chips will not be enough to satisfy the Warriors. In the brief hesitation!
Bruce and West waited quietly for Dawson's reply. They were both very interested in what kind of players the Rockets needed!
"Hehe, you should know what kind of players we need now, so, if you don't mind, I would like to propose a deal about Robert (Hawley), after all, you already have Karl (Malone)."
After hearing Dawson's words, Bruce and West looked at each other with smiles on their faces. Dawson's words and the answers in their hearts seemed a bit too coincidental!
Even if the Rockets do not have a trade, they are a bit weak at the power forward position!
Especially now that they are about to complete the deal with the Magic, they chose to trade Holly, which directly exposed their strong ambitions!
"Hehe, sorry, Carol, regarding Robert's question, we are not considering trading him out of the team for the time being, so."
Dawson on the other side of the phone couldn't help being stunned when he received West's flat-out refusal answer!
Among the news he got, after the Warriors had Malone, Hawley's existence seemed very embarrassing. If this guy hadn't returned to the team in the second half of the finals, I'm afraid that because of injuries, the Warriors Must be very happy to talk about his trading issues too!
However, hearing West's veto now, Dawson couldn't help feeling depressed!
"Hehe, Carol, don't you know what Carl is thinking now??"
Suddenly, after West said such words, Dawson on the other end of the phone couldn't help but secretly froze for a moment!
Malone's love for the Jazz is absolutely, absolutely, and unforgettable for life. Even if he has fulfilled his wish in the Warriors, as a player who always talks about the Jazz, he can return to the team he never forgets. This will be a factor that every veteran will eventually consider, so West's refusal seems so reasonable!
"Sorry, it seems that the transaction between us is not possible, I wish you good luck!"
Afterwards, when Dawson hung up the phone tactfully, West and Bruce looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly!
Regarding Malone's question, before the draft, he had conveyed a message to the Warriors through his agent to leave here.
However, coupled with Malone's idea of retiring, now with the combination of the two, Bruce and West have to make the best preparations for his departure!
"Hehe, it seems that we are like an Aladdin magic lamp that illuminates the entire alliance. Every time, we will fulfill the wishes of some people's lifelong pursuit!"
Bruce smiled self-deprecatingly, and then turned his attention to the draft that started on the TV in the small room!
In the main venue of the draft, when Stern appeared, boos were the same every year, directly resounding throughout the stands, and all the fans present were booing this Mr. President who brought the NBA to such a level!
"Well, it looks like my presence didn't excite you guys!"
Amidst the bursts of boos, Stern said a little self-deprecatingly, and then said very simply: "About this year's draft, I think whether it is the team or the fans, they can't wait to start. So, why don't we just get started??"
With the end of Stern's voice, when a staff member handed him a small card, he was very lucky to get the Magic team with the No. [-] pick this year, making Stern directly shout out their choice!
"The Orlando Magic chose to..."
"Dwight!! Dwight!!"
"Emeka!!! Emeka!!!"
Following Stern's somewhat appetizing voice, the names of the two players resounded throughout the venue!
As for Bruce, who was sitting in the small room, after hearing the shouts on the TV, he couldn't help but stare at Dwight Howard and Emeka Okafor who were sitting in the front row of the stage when the camera shot directly to them. There was a hint of a smile: "Is that childish guy coming??"
