At a vacation home in Los Angeles, James is preparing for a trip to the national team's training camp, where the U.S. men's basketball team will gather on July 1.

Receiving a call from his agent this morning, he heard that the team had completed the trade and brought in a big center, and James was ecstatic!

Then when I heard the name, I was speechless......

The Wizards made a three-way deal with the Heat and the Hornets, and the Heat sent the 28th pick of the first round in 2012, which was also one of their only two first-round picks from '11 to '14, plus Udonis Haslem, 2.6 million cash, and Nene Hilario from the Wizards!

A third team was added to the deal, with the Hornets sending Ariza and Emeka Okafor to the Wizards in a near-air swap, and the Hornets only received one second-round pick from the Wizards.

James learned from his agent that because the Wizards got the No. 4 pick, they wanted to get a young interior to partner with Wall, and at the same time wanted to get Ariza, a championship small forward, and Okafor, a veteran center, to send Nene away, who didn't have much effect on the Wizards themselves and was not suitable for the team's goal.

It's not that Nene is bad, James checked, Nene played 50 games in the season just ended, averaging 12.6 points, 7.5 boards, 2.3 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1 steal per game.

It's a very good center, but it's a notch weaker than centers like Bogut and Chandler who can win the best defensive lineup.

Nene can do anything, however, there is nothing particularly good at it, compared to low-post singles, not as good as Brand, Al Jefferson; Compared to defense, not as good as Okafor and Bogut, let alone compared to Chandler; than mid-range shots, not as good as Haslem; Compared with the block and dismantling, it is not as good as Yi Jianlian and Noah; than the impact, not as good as Jordan Jr., Chandler......

James doesn't know how to describe his current mood, it feels like he wanted to go to the supermarket and buy an Oreo, and he ended up buying Yueli Yue......

Pat Riley is really sincere this time, this time the Heat is really bleeding, Nene has a 10-year early contract extension of 5 years and 65 million, a fixed salary of 13 million per year, effective in 11 years, and 52 million in four years.

But what James wants is Nene and Chandler! And Jordan Jr. also jumped out of the contract, so he can have a good talk with the Grizzlies and Jordan Jr.

Nene's salary is on the same level as the new contracts that Chandler, Bogut and Jordan Jr. are likely to get!

……

……

FedEx Arena, Memphis.

Chris Wallace returned to his office after a meeting with his boss and coaching staff.

Sun Ce saw Chris Wallace come back and asked with a smile, "Did you directly reject the Heat's trade request?" ”

"That's right," Chris Wallace laughed when asked the question, "The Mavericks and the Bucks, the Warriors all refused, they didn't want to give Chandler, Bogut, Thabit to the Heat, and of course we couldn't." ”

The Heat's reputation has been stinky since they prostituted James and Bosh for nothing, and no team will be willing to make such a trade with them for at least two years.

"It's a pity that the Wizards gave Hilario to the Heat, and all they needed was Haslem and a first-round pick." Sun Ce's tone was filled with regret.

"I already know that the new owners of the Wizards have a good relationship with Riley, and they want to bring in Ariza and Okafor, which can't be solved, but at least they don't get the players they want the most." Chris Wallace also had some regrets, but overall didn't care.

Sun Ce pouted, things can't all go so smoothly, if you want to curb the reinforcement of the Heat team with the Big Three, if the Heat team is willing to spend money, it is not so easy, and it is already good to interfere.

"By the way," Sun Ce left the matter alone and asked, "Is there any hope for bringing in McGrady?" ”

"We talked to Maddy's agent, but Maddie wanted to stay with the Heat, and Jones didn't want to leave Miami, so both chose to renew their contract with the Heat." Chris Wallace: This is a real pity.

Maddie and James Jones were among the Heat's best shooters this season, and if they can dig into any of them, they can both weaken and strengthen themselves.

Chris Wallace continued: "We have a plan for a sign-and-trade deal for DeAndre in the meeting, Deandre wants to go to Phoenix and partner with Dragic, he wants to feel like he is with Steve, the Suns have made two offers to us, the first offer is Gortat and Marcus Morris, and the second offer is an unprotected draft pick in 2013, Noah, do you think we need to strengthen the interior or try to get a high pick next season? ”

Hearing these two offers, Sun Ce thought about it for a while, the Morris brothers are all good players, but not now, they are very powerful in the small-ball era, especially Marcus, who looks inferior to his brother now, but in this era they seem to be inconsistent, and they can't do anything.

Gortat is now a good player, playing a full 66 regular season games in the season just ended, averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds per game, and the salary is not high, with a total of 15 million with two years left, they can afford the Grizzlies.

The Suns are very sincere, and even Gortat is willing to give, wanting to get Jordan Jr., a young interior with All-Star talent, and willing to give Gortat who is in his prime.

But the problem is that Gortat is the core interior play, Sun Ce thought about it and said: "We want draft picks!" Are they willing to give us both draft picks and Morris? ”

"What do you say?" Chris Wallace rolled his eyes: "Although the draft market is expected to be average next year, Gortat and Morris can't get a lottery pick." ”

"It's also ......" Sun Ce smiled stupidly, thinking too much.

Jordan Jr. is a completely free agent, just like Bosh and James in 10 years, the Suns are willing to give an unprotected first-round pick is already very willing, even if they sign back Dragic and get Jordan Jr., the Suns will be able to get more than 20 or 30 wins next season, this unprotected first-round pick has at least 8 to 10 picks, compared to the 25 to 30 picks that the Heat gave to the Cavaliers and Raptors in the first round, it is already very generous.

The matter of trading Jordan Jr. was done like this, it was not so initiative, and it was already a lot of money to be able to get a high-ranking draft pick in the draft, except for Sun Ce, who knew that the original addition would actually be able to play at the current level.

Chris Wallace asked, "Lord, do you have any ideas for the draft?" Tell me and I'll try to be satisfied. ”

Sun Ce didn't answer first, but asked, "Who are we going to choose?" ”

"We had a pitcher in the draft, Kyle Singler of Duke University, who was the fourth-best scorer in Duke all-time scoring and an alumnus of Sean, who had a lot of shooting potential to tap into, and predicted that if he was drafted early in the second round, we could take it early." Chris Wallace has spoken out about the draft plan.

“……”

Hearing this name, Sun Ce was speechless, and he also saw Kyle Singler's draft prediction, which did say that he had shooting talent, and he was very good at three-point and mid-range shooting in college.

But the wild father of the future head coach of the Thunder, they can't afford to toss the Grizzlies!

Kyle Singler ranks 491st in the league in efficiency for a future year, with a total of 491 players who played in the NBA that year, including those who were cut.

The worst player in the league!

Sun Ce suggested with a black line: "Chris, I think we should choose a frontcourt substitute, our potential pitchers are good enough, just develop Klay and Paul, we can choose from veterans if we need other pitchers." ”

Hearing this, Chris Wallace nodded, they also considered the pitcher to choose a veteran from free agency or trade, just a senior Duke college graduate, the golden sign of this role player, so that they want to choose Kyle Singler with only the 30th pick.

Chris Wallace asked, "Lord, what's your draft proposal?" ”

"Actually, our forward line is still relatively weak, the guard line is enough, I also have a free agent target for the center position, I have a forward player recommended to the team, he can play the 3-4 position, he has passing talent, defensive talent, and some shooting talent, if necessary, he can even go to the center position." Sun Ce shoved the note with the first choice written on it in front of Chris Wallace.

Chris Wallace was impressed when he saw the name, flipped through the draft list piled up next to him, and found the information of the person on the name, and this time it was his turn to be speechless......

"That, Lord, I think ......" Chris Wallace scratched his head and said anyway: "Lord, not every 192 cm player is as tall as you, then surely not every 201 cm player can play center......"

Draymond Green! This draft prediction is in the 51-60 rank, and even the media and experts predict that the University of Michigan will not be selected, a short big forward, Chris Wallace is powerless to complain!

However, Chris Wallace did not refuse: "We will consider him, are there any other candidates?" ”

"Yes," Sun Ce also knew that it looked unreliable, and at this stage, the ghost would believe that Draymond Green had the talent to win the best defensive player, so there were also candidates, and pushed the second note with two names in front of Chris Wallace: "If you want to strengthen the offense, I recommend this, and if you want to strengthen the forward defense, I recommend this." ”

Chris Middleton and Jae Crowder, these two Chris Wallace are more impressive and feel much more reliable, these two are options that he and Coach Hollins have considered, both of them are very characteristic players, but from the performance of the college years, both of them have shortcomings that far outweigh their strengths, so they will not rank high in the draft predictions.
