Chapter 384 The Draft! Come on, General Qiao!
The Knicks plan to strengthen their roster by selecting a player who can serve as their second or third option.
By then.
With Su Yan and Curry having grown for a year, plus the addition of other players, the Knicks will be much stronger next season.
Retaining the championship makes it even more secure.
Of course... besides acquiring players through trades, you can also select promising rookies through the draft.
exactly.
As the Knicks' championship parade drew to a close, the 2010 NBA Draft commenced at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks' home arena.
The Wizards selected John Wall with the first overall pick.
The 76ers selected Evan Turner with the second overall pick.
The New Jersey Nets selected Derrick Favors with the third overall pick.
There's a mystery to the NBA.
There's always a bust among the top three picks, and this year's bust is the third overall pick, Derek Favors.
The Timberwolves selected Wesley Johnson with the fourth overall pick.
Fifth pick: The Kings selected DeMarcus Cousins.
The Kings' selection of DeMarcus Cousins, a center who is likely to be drafted in the top five, or even the top three, is an absolute bargain.
Sixth pick: Warriors select Ekpe Udoh.
Seventh pick: The Pistons selected Greg Monroe.
Eighth pick: The Clippers select Al-Farouq Aminu.
Ninth overall pick: The Jazz selected Gordon Hayward.
Hayward's talent and ability are undeniable; he's an absolute All-Star caliber player. It's just a pity that his career has been plagued by injuries.
What a pity.
Because of their top regular season record, the Knicks only received the 30th pick in the draft lottery, but they were able to acquire the Pacers' first-round pick this year in a trade last year.
The Pacers won the 10th pick.
The Knicks originally wanted to select Al Davis, the 13th overall pick, to bolster the team's interior defense.
but.
At Su Yan's strong suggestion, the final choice was... Paul George.
George's current ability to protect the rim and score is average, but his physical talent is undeniable.
A stock with tremendous potential.
The Knicks management believes that George will definitely become a qualified "3D player" in the future.
The analysis is correct.
But... it's far from bold enough.
George will not only be a top-tier "3D" player in the future, but he will also be a dominant force like the legendary "General" George.
At his peak, he went head-to-head with the "Heat Big Three".
He is an absolute superstar in the league.
If the 2010 NBA draft were to be redone, George would have a very high probability of being the number one pick.
The Knicks' acquisition of George with a non-Knicks first-round pick at the 10th overall pick is absolutely devastating.
"COMEON!"
Su Yan was watching the NBA draft at home. When he saw the Knicks successfully select George, he shouted with joy: "With sword drawn, I am General George!"
"It's great that George was chosen!"
"The Great General!"
Rebecca came over with a plate of cut fruit, fed Su Yan a strawberry tip, and said with a smile, "Is this Paul George very impressive?"
My dear, calling him a general is a bit of an exaggeration!
"no!"
Su Yan pulled Rebecca into his arms and laughed, "Paul George has exceptional talent and a very high potential for growth."
I have high hopes for him!
"Oh, it's my dear eye, it must be about right, like: Paul George, like: me~~~"
"Oh? So you were praising yourself."
"Hee hee~"
……
Let's talk about the talent show again.
Last year was a banner year for talent shows, known as the "Silver Generation." With Su Yan's presence, they may surpass the "Golden Generation of '96" in the future.
This year, however, is a slow year for talent shows.
Only four players—Wall, Cousins, Hayward, and George—have the potential to become All-Stars in the future.
Of the four, George has the highest achievements and the greatest strength.
The Knicks got the best deal by drafting him.
George's offensive skills were average during his rookie season, but he was quite good as a defensive specialist and a valuable asset off the bench.
That's a fair assessment.
The moment George arrived in Knicks, he brought a positive impact to your team.
This is naturally a good thing.
In the future... when Su Yan, Curry, and George are all in their prime, the Knicks will be invincible!!!
……
After the successful conclusion of the talent show.
The trading market then opened.
The offseason has officially begun.
While the players rest and go on vacation, the teams begin to strengthen their squads, or... let go of key players and rebuild their teams.
The teams began to get started.
For a rookie team to win the championship in its first year is an absolute disgrace to the other teams, especially traditional powerhouses like the Lakers, Suns, Spurs, Celtics, and Magic.
The essential.
It's easy to guess that the "New York Twins," having grown stronger, will be even more formidable upon their return for the new season.
The team is further strengthening its squad.
The Knicks' strength will definitely leap forward in the new season, making them even more difficult to deal with. If they don't strengthen their roster, they will have no chance at all next season.
Meanwhile, various teams are actively engaged in strengthening their squads through numerous transfer deals.
On the Knicks' side...
The management is looking for a capable assistant to Su Yan.
Su Yan then suggested that he could try to make a trade for "Flash" Dwyane Wade.
"If Wade comes, we'll definitely win the championship next season."
This is the promise Su Yan made.
This also tells the Knicks management not to worry about the luxury tax; as long as they can win the championship and retain it, everything is worth it.
"Okay, Su Yan, we know how much the team's strength will be boosted by acquiring 'The Flash', and we will definitely give your suggestion serious consideration."
Donnie Walsh responded sincerely to Su Yan.
He also knew that Wade was now the "leader of the empty stats group" and was very dissatisfied with his team, the Heat.
This is a great opportunity to seize the opportunity.
However... signing a superstar requires considering many factors and cannot be taken for granted.
Su Yan first gave the management a suggestion.
He immediately sent a text message to Wade, once again expressing his desire for him to come over.
Previous recruitment.
This isn't just talk; it's a genuine hope!
Since the Knicks won the championship, Wade has been in a dilemma, as Su Yan is recruiting him, and his good friend LeBron is also recruiting him.
The league is recruiting two of its top small forwards at the same time.
Teaming up with Su Yan would undoubtedly increase their chances of winning the championship, but on the other hand, there was their good brother who had been struggling to win the title for so long.
Who should we choose?
Wade is also struggling with this decision.
Before Su Yan sent this message, LeBron had communicated with him repeatedly, sincerely expressing his desire for brotherhood basketball.
LeBron is indeed strong enough.
With the two of them joining forces, their idea of having the world at their fingertips seems unsurprising.
The tower near the water gets the moon first.
Despite LeBron's repeated invitations, especially since it was his good friend Wade, he finally wavered.
He is more inclined to team up with LeBron and accomplish something great together as brothers.
But... after the draft ended and the draft market opened, Su Yan's news instantly stunned him, leaving him speechless and bewildered!
