Chapter 607: 2014 NBA Draft (3/4!) )

The Cavaliers sent the No. 1 pick, Jimmy Butler (in the final year of his rookie contract), a 2014 second-round pick with the 40th pick, to Kevin Love.

The Timberwolves sent Love, the 13th pick in the first round in 2014, and got the top picks, Jimmy Butler, and Garnett.

The Nets sent Garnett for the 2014 second-round pick with the 40th pick and a trade exception of about $12 million.

With this plan, it's no wonder that the Timberwolves want to drag the trade until draft night, and Garnett is using it to match the salary.

"It's a strange deal." Jones spoke.

Indeed, it's weird.

Butler has been cultivated by the Cavaliers in the past, and although it is already in contract year, it is really incomprehensible to send it out like this.

Although Love is 20+10 in the Timberwolves all year round, he has never made the playoffs to prove himself, and the Cavaliers are really a bit of a loss in this trade.

Tang Tian was also thoughtful.

At this time in the previous life, the Cavaliers also traded for Love from the Timberwolves, with the first pick in 2015 and Bennett in 2013.

Compared with their previous lives, the Timberwolves now have 15 fewer first-rounders and more No. 13 picks to cancel each other out, which is not too bad compared to their previous lives.

But the problem is that the Cavaliers don't have James yet.

What does no James want Love to do?

James, could it be that Gilbert and James have already made an agreement?

This may be the only explanation.

Tang Tian thought of this, and suddenly felt that this transaction was not so incredible.

At this moment, Xiao Hua came out of the backstage and announced the choice of the Cavaliers.

"In 2014, the first pick in the first round of the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Andrew Wiggins, a 2.03-meter forward from the University of Kansas."

As Xiao Hua announced this choice, the Cavaliers fans at the scene were excited.

Wiggins is amazingly talented, and he has basically locked in the top pick before the draft, so it is not surprising that he was selected at this time.

But Wiggins is Canadian, and that's the first draft pick in Canadian history.

Wiggins sped onto the stage wearing a Cavaliers hat with excitement in his eyes.

Xiao Hua was also full of spring, smiling and shaking hands with Wiggins for a group photo.

His first year in office was a big year in the draft, and he was in a very good mood.

"The 2014 NBA first round pick went to the Milwaukee Bucks, who had five minutes to think about it."

Xiao Hua announced the ownership of the second pick, and then retreated to the backstage.

It was at this time that the three-way deal was officially concluded.

Because this deal is after the draft, Xiao Hua will not broadcast it at this time, and this time fans know more through the media and the Twitter of OJ and other media people.

The Bucks are still sitting on their minds, but the fans below are already a frying pan, and the discussion continues.

Like the Nets' draft huts, they are more confused, and while Love has good stats, it's not necessarily worth more than Wiggins and Butler combined.

In contrast, the mood of Cavaliers fans is not bad, although Yao Ming has been stop-and-go in the past two years, but Yao Ming and LeFoo's all-star combination is quite compatible, and the new season will definitely kill all sides.

But the most confused is Wiggins himself, who is still wearing a Cavaliers hat and talking about how he and the Cavaliers are so compatible, and an acquaintance came to tell him that he was traded, and the expression was really confused.

The audience was boiling, but Xiao Hua was as calm as ever and continued his draft broadcast.

The Bucks selected Jabari Parker with the second pick, who had a phenomenal run at this year's NCAA tournament.

The third-overall 76ers selected Joel Embiid, who was originally the favorite to win the first round, but was injured before the draft and ended up losing early in the PK with Wiggins.

After that, the draft was not much different from what I remembered, until the 13th pick.

"A trade happened, and the 13th pick belonged to the Los Angeles Lakers." When Xiao Hua walked out for the 13th time, he announced a deal.

And with this announcement, the fans at the scene were once again confused.

According to the information they received off the court, the 13th pick was traded from the Timberwolves to the Cavaliers?

They looked at the scene, and then saw the details of the transaction, and this detail caused another explosion at the scene.

The Cavaliers sent Yao Ming and the No. 13 pick to the Lakers in a trade for Dion Waiters and a 2015 first-round pick (15 top-10 protections, 16 top-5 protections, 17 top-3 protections)!

Yao Ming has been affected by injuries in the past two seasons and is also older, and the previous contract with the highest salary has become a burden.

The Lakers have expired Big Gasol's contract this season, and Kobe Bryant has not yet exercised the player option, and the Lakers have room to eat Yao Ming.

In other words, Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming in their twilight years, this combination that has been expected by fans for a long time, has become like this!

In this year's draft, the seismic trades are really one after another!

However, the reactions of the fans on both sides of the audience were completely different, and the Cavaliers fans were even more confused, they were just thinking about the combination of Yao Ming and Lefu, and Yao Ming was sent away?

And he's also a 4-time MVP, and he even got out with a 13th pick! It's really completely treated as a garbage contract!

Lakers fans are excited, although Yao Ming is old and injured due to injury, he is a supergiant in the past after all, and he is at least a top five player after retiring, not to mention getting the 13th pick in a draft year, which is a big profit!

And the 13th pick, which has to remind them of another supergiant in the team, Kobe Bryant!

The Lakers' trade operation is really god.

This trade of the Cavaliers made the Nets draft hut incomprehensible.

Only Tang Tian should be the clearest person at this time.

Yao Ming can actually play, but if the Cavaliers really want James, they must have salary space, but the rebuilding team will not want Yao Ming, and the Lakers will definitely be the best trade partner after their screening.

It seems that although there is no news yet, or no news can be revealed yet, James has returned to the Cavaliers for eight or nine.

"In 2014, with the 13th pick in the first round of the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Zach LaVine, a 1.96-meter shooting guard from UCLA University."

The Lakers fans below were instantly excited.

The same 13th pick, the same guard, and the same height, even LaVine's college was in Los Angeles, this draft is perfect!

When Tang Tian saw this choice, he was also full of curiosity.

Yao Ming's words, the injury is much smaller than in the previous life, and Kobe Bryant has not suffered the Achilles tendon rupture injury in the previous life, and they, plus a LaVine, may really be a bit messy this season.

This deal has been talked about for a long time at the draft conference, but the draft is still going on, and before you know it, it has come to the end of the first round.

"We received a trade proposal." At that moment, Jones suddenly spoke.
