Since the lottery ceremony, Mallory has become a big netizen, and Twitter fans have skyrocketed from hundreds to tens of thousands.
This makes Mallory feel very new, during this time often interact with fans on Twitter.
"If it's a photo, wait for it to be sent later."
Wang Xiao thought about it and said.
Although the draft conference has already begun, the possibility is not very high, but for the sake of safety, it is still possible to avoid exposure.
It's not clear whether the paparazzi Wang Xiao is on the Twitter fans of Mallory, but there is no clue about his next home in the league. Now he suddenly appears in the same frame as the big boss of the Bucks. , Is bound to think of some things.
After the draft is over, everything is settled, it does not matter.
...
On the draft side, Stern is still speaking for harmony and never retires, but the Bucks management has already started.
They contacted the Magic and the Jazz at the same time and expressed the hope that they would use the top pick and next year's first-round pick to trade with them.
The Magic's request here is Oladipo and this year's second pick.
For the Jazz, Hayward added this year's third pick.
This is undoubtedly a tempting proposal.
The number one pick means Wiggins, and next year's first round signing, based on the current record of the Bucks, there is a high probability that it will become a lottery pick.
Among the rookies in 2015, there are also a group of players with good potential, such as Karl Anthony Towns, De Angelo Russell and Jahir Okafor.
Whether for the Magic or the Jazz, the Bucks' proposed player conditions are not unacceptable.
When the Bucks management informed the opponent that they had contacted the Magic and Jazz teams separately, the management of both teams became anxious.
After all, such an opportunity is only once, missed, Wiggins may be away from them!
The management of the two teams immediately convened an emergency meeting, and then the first answer was given by the Jazz. They agreed to the conditions of the Bucks.
Wang Xiao, who received feedback, smiled slightly, but was not in a hurry.
It's great to get Hayward, but if Hayward can be replaced by Oladipo, it will undoubtedly be better.
Compared with Hayward, Oladipo's potential and growth space are undoubtedly better, and Hayward's main position is a small forward, and there is also a conflict with the letter brother Adetokounmpo.
In fact, in terms of style, Oladipo and Hayward are not the best players for the Bucks.
Judging from the technical characteristics exhibited by Adetokounmpo in another time and space, his most suitable system is one-star shooting, with Adetokounmpo as the core, and establishing four outside shooters to open space for it.
Oladipo and Hayward's outside shooting ability can only be quite satisfactory, not dazzling, the two men's career three-point shooting rate is only about 35%.
auzw.com But Wang Xiao didn’t have to pick it. He wanted Thompson and Curry. That’s why the Wizards have a talent pool. Only two first rounds are not enough In exchange for the two, Wang Xiao took another chip and felt bad.
While ensuring that Embiid is available, the best option now is the Magic's Oladipo. If the Magic disagrees, then cheating Hayward from the Jazz is acceptable.
The Magic are still hesitant.
After training with the Jazz for four years, the data is based on
Although the plain Hayward is different, Oladipo was the top spot last year. Although the performance in the regular season was very general, the Magic was a little disappointed. But after all, there is still a little bit of expectations in it.
But this time, the Bucks management's phone call came back.
"Just now, the Jazz team has agreed to our conditions, but in comparison, we are still more interested in Oladipo, how do you think about it?"
"We are also very interested in the conditions you put forward and are happy to facilitate this deal, but Oladipo is a player we value very much. You can choose any player in the Magic except him." The Magic After hesitating, the management still wanted to bargain.
But the Bucks are impatient.
"Sir, the conditions we have proposed are already concessions to the maximum. If you do not show the sincerity you deserve, then there is no need to talk about it. Please remember that there is only one Wiggins, Austria La Dibo can’t compare with other players, and no matter we or the Jazz get this top pick, they will choose Wiggins, and you will miss the only chance!
After a brief silence, the Magic finally agreed to the deal.
The general manager of the Bucks got a sigh of relief.
In fact, he doesn’t quite understand why the team owner made such an inexplicable choice. Wiggins is clearly a future All-Star player. Why should he give up Wiggins and exchange for a high-ranked player who has not played a high value? Sophomore?
However, this is the team's first task after changing the new boss. If even such a difficult transaction can not be achieved, then his position as general manager will probably not be done soon.
Soon, the transaction agreement was successfully concluded.
The Bucks sent the 14th overall pick and the 15th first-round pick. The Magic received 14 years of No. 2 picks and last year's No. 2 rookie Victor Oladipo.
Immediately afterwards, before the people could be surprised, the Magic chose Andrew Wiggins with the No. 1 pick with a thunderbolt.
For Wiggins, the difference between being picked by the Bucks and the Magic is not much. He cares about the title of champion, so he looks very happy.
Then, the Bucks took the Magic's second pick and chose Wiggins teammates, also from Joel Embiid of the University of Kansas.
Although this choice surprised many people a little, it was not surprising.
Embiid is a talented rookie who does not lose Wiggins. He was originally able to compete with Wiggins. However, due to his injury, his score has been reduced a lot. The media before the draft conference are generally I think Embiid's draft pick will fall out of the top three.
It is now reasonable to be selected by the second overall pick. After all, it is worth taking some risks for Embiid's potential.
The third pick, the Jazz, who failed to reach a deal with the Bucks, said it was uncomfortable, and then used the third pick to select a point guard, Dante Essam.
This is similar to what Wang Xiao expected. The Jazz are not short of insiders, so they did not choose Jabari Parker who has a good rating, but chose a defender who is in short supply.
However, they missed Zac LaVine and Marcus Smart. They chose a player who was well-known in the NCAA but unknown in the NBA. They can only say that they lost sight.
