NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 386 The birth of the top pick in NBA history

Kongbu actually wants to take advantage of this draft to provide some benefits to the Nets, and then wait until he establishes a dynasty in Charlotte next season to coach the Nets, which will make it easier to start.

But thinking about it, it seems that there is no need for this. The Nets will definitely not be able to become stronger, at least not until Kongbu takes over the Nets.

Once the Nets become stronger, Stern's price for selling the Nets to Kongbu will definitely not be lower. If it is too low, it will not stop outsiders from talking.

Kong Bu is not willing to take advantage of anyone who has a grudge against Qian.

In the end, Kongbu negotiated a deal for Hinrich with the Warriors. The Warriors have two first-round picks this year, one is the No. 9 pick, and the other is the No. 13 pick. In addition, they have another Pick No. 9 in the second round.

The No. 13 pick has already been used by the Warriors to trade Turkoglu, but they bought a first-round pick of No. 16 from other teams, plus the No. 9 pick of the first round and the No. 9 pick of the second round, making up three more picks. A pick.

All three picks were collected by Kongbu, and then the Warriors got Hinrich.

The Warriors must feel that they have earned their blood. These three picks are only the No. 9 pick. It's worthless.

The Warriors certainly didn't expect that the No. 9 pick in the second round, which they considered the least valuable, would help them select Monta Ellis under normal circumstances.

Ellis has not been selected as an All-Star in his career, but he has averaged 25 points, 4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game as a top guard. The season average of 20 points per game is as simple as cutting melons and vegetables.

His offense is actually better than Hinrich's, especially his breakthrough ability, which is much better than Hinrich's, but his defense is not as good as Hinrich's.

After careful calculation, the Warriors can't say whether they make a profit or a loss. Under normal circumstances, taking Ellis and now taking Hinrich are very different in value.

Thinking that Ellis was about to enter the league, Combe suddenly had a feeling that he was getting old.

Ellis is here, is Curry still far behind?Thinking that he might coach this primary school student in the future, Kong Bu really felt that he was almost middle-aged.

After the Hinrich trade was completed, Combs was richer in draft picks.

首轮4号、9号、13号、16号、23号、30号，光是首轮签就多达6个，然后次轮9号、来自于国王的18号以及自带的30号，还有三个次轮签。

In addition, Brent Barry also changed to the Suns with the 27th pick.

With a total of ten draft picks, Kongbu is fully prepared to make a big splash in this draft.

The trades happened so quickly that the Bobcats' championship parade hadn't even started yet.

Combu summoned several players who had been traded and said goodbye to them in his office.

When Josh Smith entered Comb's office, his face was full of disbelief. He never dreamed that he would be traded.

He would rather believe that Ao Pang was traded than that he was the one who was traded.

He has already prepared to take the Bobcats' starting shooting guard position next season, and then average more than 25 points per game, becoming the hottest super backcourt in the league.

"Coach, I really can't figure out why you want to trade me."

"And don't you think it's a little insulting to just trade for a No. 4 pick?"

Josh Smith asked dissatisfied.

Kongbu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Is the fourth pick still insulting you?"If you knew that the No. [-] pick could sign a Hall of Fame point guard, you wouldn't be able to say this.

"You at least changed to the No. [-] pick. Look what I changed. The highest No. [-] pick actually has a second-round pick."

"Coach, I really don't want to leave the Bobcats. Is there no room for negotiation in this deal?"

"After my rookie contract is over, I am willing to cut my salary instead of the maximum salary. How about it?"

In order to stay, Hinrich would rather take a salary cut. Unfortunately, there is no way he can recover the water he threw. For the sake of the overall interests of the Bobcats, Kongbu had no choice but to reluctantly sell Hinrich.

Hinrich exchanged three draft picks, and these three draft picks allowed Combu to select three players who are as good as Hinrich. Combu's approach is understandable.

Brent Barry and Turkoglu didn't say much. They probably knew in their hearts that Kongbu's trade was just a temporary loan.

They must have made a profit by joining the Bobcats. They easily won a championship, especially Turkoglu. You are not allowed to go directly to the starting lineup.

Artest wants to stay with the Bobcats. He feels that the Bobcats are a good fit for him. Under Kong Bu, his temper seems to be under control.

But Kong Bu didn't want to keep him, so he could only sulk in his heart.

Kongbu looked at the five people in front of him. He didn't notice before the series of transactions that he was so crazy that he almost dismantled the entire championship lineup and directly sold five people.

Now the Bobcats still have players left, that is, Oban, Big Ben, Bosh, and Hill, and the others are all sold to Comb.

O'Pang definitely cannot be sold. As long as Yao Ming is in this league and as long as O'Pang's combat power does not decline too much, Kongbu will not be able to sell O'Pang.

Da Ben cannot be sold, more because Kongbu wants to keep Da Ben with him.

Bosh's value is very high. Even if Comb wanted to sell it, no team in this league would be able to afford it.

Unless they are willing to trade their bosses, it's a pity that the Bobcats can't swallow the salaries of these bosses.

Needless to say, Hill, he is now the Bobcats' team spirit, and it is impossible to sell him.

So in terms of the championship Bobcats lineup, everything that could be sold was sold to Kongbu, and there really was no one left.

……

In the blink of an eye, there are about 10 days left before the start of the draft.

Kongbu was originally confident of winning this draft, holding ten picks. Kongbu had never fought with such wealth in his life.

But a piece of news came back from China, which made Kongbu a little bit astonished.

Moko announced his participation in the draft!
When Kumbu played in the Olympics before, he talked with Moko, thinking that Moko should not participate in the draft and try to stay in the CBA to play.

It's a pity that Moko still couldn't withstand the temptation and participated in this draft before the deadline for draft registration.

Kongbu didn't blame Moko. If he were to put himself in his shoes, would he be able to withstand this kind of temptation?
It is almost invincible in the CBA. After all, it is bound to the template of Rasheed Wallace. The draft prospects are very good. Even if you only get a rookie contract, you will get close to 2000 million US dollars in those four years. Who can resist this temptation? .

If he can get ahead, he can also gain fame and fortune like the Great Wall or the United Arab Emirates.

On the day Moko announced his candidacy, Kongbu had already learned about the Bucks' news from Carroll, the "hundred best player in basketball". They actually gave up on Bogut and prepared to select Moko with the No. [-] pick. !

In fact, even if Carroll doesn't come to report, Kongbu can still guess the Bucks' actions. You must know that the current general manager of the Bucks is Harris Jr., the son of Silver Fox Harris. They are envious of China Mobile Great Wall and Ah Lian, now they have such a good opportunity, of course they can't miss it.

Because Moko's Rasheed Wallace template can only be used in the CBA or the World Series. After arriving in the NBA, his strength will definitely not reach the league average. He may even become the top pick in NBA history, surpassing Kwame Brown. Or that water in Olowokandi.

Thinking of this, Kongbu had a headache. He definitely didn't want his compatriots to suffer such infamy.After much thought, Kongbu decided to call Harris Jr. of the Bucks to dissuade them from choosing Moco.

If the Bucks don't choose Moko, Moko is likely to be selected by the No. [-] pick or No. [-] pick, so it's not a big problem.

Everyone remembers the number one in parallel imports, the number two in parallel imports or the number one in parallel imports is less mentioned.

"Old man, I heard that you are planning to choose Moco?"

Kongbu and Harris have been acquaintances for many years, so there is no need to beat around the bush.

"Kong, this alliance really can't hide anything from you."

"Yes, we do want to select Moko. After all, he has proven himself in the CBA and World Series. The risk of selecting him is much lower than that of Bogut."

Little Harris knew that he couldn't hide it from Combe, so he told the truth.

"Old man, I'm actually calling you to tell you that Moko is not as good as you think. At least his future ability in the NBA will definitely be far inferior to Bogut."

"Trust me, I won't cheat you, you should choose Bogut."

Kongbu advised that he had good intentions. Although Bogut was not that good, he was definitely much better than Moko, and the Bucks would not suffer such a tragic loss.

But his words didn't sound that good in little Harris' ears.

Thinking that Kongbu now holds a No. [-] pick, Harris Jr. felt that Kongbu must want to use this No. [-] pick to select Moko, and now he called to ask them to give up Moko.

"Kong, we have been old friends for many years."

"But there is an old saying that business is business. I have to be responsible to the Bucks and make the best decision for the Bucks."

"So I can't do what you want in this matter. I hope this will not affect our friendship."

Little Harris said neither humble nor haughty.

Kongbu was speechless. Isn't this just playing the piano to a cow?

He knew that he would definitely not be able to change Harris's decision, so he could only sigh helplessly. It seemed that this was Moko's fate, and he would become the worst No. [-] pick in NBA history.

However, he is still the No. [-] pick, and his salary is much higher than that of other rookies. If Moko just wants to come to the NBA to make some money, it is actually completely acceptable. At most, he can return to the NBA after four years.

……

At the end of June, the NBA draft officially begins.

Still at Madison Square Garden in New York, ESPN Radio broadcast live to more than 200 countries and regions around the world.

"Kong, you are too crazy, 10 draft picks? There are only [-] draft picks in one draft, and you own one-sixth of it!"

Old Thomas said dissatisfiedly after seeing Kongbu.

"Isaiah, what do you mean that Kongbu himself accounts for one-sixth? It's obviously me and Kongbu who account for one-sixth!"

"Watch your words!"

Jordan was even more dissatisfied. He was also the owner of the Bobcats. He didn't have any share in the draft pick?
Just as Kongbu was about to joke with Old Thomas, he saw Old Bird rushing over in a hurry.

Because he didn't want Thomas Lao to know about the shady deal between him and the Pacers, Kongbu quickly said goodbye to Lao Deng.

It wasn't that he was worried that Old Deng would go to Stern to report him and expose him, but that he was afraid that Old Deng would be jealous and inevitably have to start a quarrel again.

The Knicks' backcourt duo have left the team, and the Knicks are now more lacking in the backcourt than ever.

Old Thomas stopped Kongbu in the outfield, probably because he wanted to challenge Kongbu.

"Kong, we have a No. 14 pick in our hands, who is more suitable to choose?" Bird deliberately pulled Kong to the corner and asked in a low voice.

"Do you want inside or outside?"

"Is there a super center?" Bird asked hopefully.

"There are half of them. In this day and age, where can I find a super center?" Kongbu said with a smile.

Bird thought that the half of the super center that Combs was talking about might be Bogut. He would definitely not be able to select the No. 14 pick in his hand, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

In fact, the super center that Combs was talking about was not Bogut, but Bynum, who was selected by the Lakers with the 10th pick under normal circumstances.

At his peak, Bynum could definitely be regarded as a semi-super center. If it weren't for his weird personality and lack of self-discipline, he could achieve quite high achievements.

The No. 9 pick that Combe got from the Warriors was actually to select Bynum.

The Lakers have initially posed a threat. Of course, Combe will weaken the Lakers' combat effectiveness at the root.

"We can't choose a good center forward. We have Jermaine in the fourth position, and we don't need a young fourth position."

"Why don't you choose a defender for me? Reggie has retired and we need to increase the offensive strength in the backcourt."

Bird thought for a moment and said.

They got Peja in the previous trade. He played at the third position, and asked Comb to choose another guard, so the Pacers' team can see it.

"Okay, then let's choose high school student Monta Ellis. Don't look at this kid's youth. Give him two years to grow and he will immediately become a first-class defender averaging 20 points per game."

"Averaging 25 points per game at his peak is not a problem."

Combs was very kind. He didn't fool Bird with those weak players and directly let them choose Monta Ellis.

Old Bird's eyes shone, high school student?Defender?Just average 20 points per game?Isn't this the next Kobe?

What else is there to say? Just make your choice!
It's a pity that Old Bird is still too optimistic. After all, there is only one Kobe. Although Ellis is very good, he is completely incomparable with Kobe.

Defense is not at the same level at all.

Kobe is not a player with good physical fitness, but his physical fitness is another level better than Ellis's.

Even in terms of pure passing and control ability, Kobe is better than Ellis.

Comb didn't interrupt the old Bird's fantasy, and walked from the corner to the Bobcats seat with a smile, ready to start this year's draft.
