Sprewell was right up his alley.

Adelman firmly believes that the Madman's statistics are not so good just because his role in the Lakers is not important enough.

But in fact, Madman undoubtedly has superstar-level strength.

For a second-year defender who can play in three formations and two defenses, it's not too much to use him as a core player, right?

None of the sliders back then were selected to both the All-NBA Team and the Defensive Team. How good is he compared to the Madmen!

Slider thought that after he finally defeated the Lakers with the team last season, his status in the league would be improved, but he didn't know that his position in the league was becoming more and more stable.

In the past, he was compared to Jordan and Shai.

It's better now, he's no longer as good as a madman!

The Madmen and the Warriors have basically reached an agreement, and a contract will be signed as soon as the transfer market officially opens.

As the Lakers' No. 3 player and what people call "Little Pippen," Madman's departure is undoubtedly a major blow to the Lakers.

Los Angeles fans are extremely nervous. If Fliggy really leaves at this time, the team may not have the strength to compete for the championship!

In the following days, news of Barkley's transfer was abuzz.

Basically every team that still has salary space has had scandals with Barkley.

For what may be the first time ever, Barkley was hotter than Shea in the summer.

During this period, on June 28, Shea also ushered in the 1995 draft.

There are quite a few changes in this year's draft. The first and second picks are still Joe Smith and Antonio McDyess.

But the third pick became the Suns who continued to perform poorly.

Although the Suns acquired Grant Hill last season, Hill averaged 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game in his rookie season.

Although Hill, like Shea, became an All-Star starter in the first year of his career, his jersey sales easily entered the top five in the league in the first year, making him look like a super popular superstar.

But in the Wild West, the Suns still failed to squeeze into the playoffs.

Not only did he fail to make the playoffs, he also won the third overall pick with a very low probability!

Back then, after the Magic acquired O'Neal, they had a probability of less than 2% to win the No. 1 pick for two consecutive years.

Now, the Suns, who are on the edge of the playoffs, can win the third overall pick.

If you want to say that the league didn't do some crooked trading in the draft lottery, Shea really doesn't believe it.

O'Neal and Hill are both supernovas. If their team has a poor record and low exposure, it will naturally affect its commercial value.

Perhaps it is based on this consideration that the Magic and Suns have a very low probability of winning high-ranking draft picks.

The Suns did not hesitate to select yet another Jordan successor with the third pick, Jerry Stackhouse, Jordan's junior from North Carolina.

Suns fans cheered at the draft. They firmly believed that gathering two Jordan successors was equivalent to getting the real Jordan!

However, not long after Suns fans were happy, Stackhouse was traded!

The Suns used the team's meritorious veteran Kevin Johnson, who had a fierce battle with Shai back then, and the newly minted Stackhouse, and sent them to the Washington Bullets in a package.

Traded for Chris Webber!

As the No. 1 pick in 1993, Weber had just spent two years in his career and was traded twice!

The first time he was traded by the Warriors, it was Webber himself who forced the Warriors to leave.

And this time he was traded by the Bullets because the Bullets really didn't appreciate Weber's playing style.

As a power forward, Webb likes to attack in front of the frame after dribbling in a flashy way, and he especially likes to shoot three-pointers.

This is undoubtedly an anomaly in this era.

Moreover, Weber's year with the Bullets was not uneventful either.

Although Weber had terrible statistics of 20.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.6 blocks in his sophomore year.

The performance on the field was excellent.

But off the field, Weber was arrested for speeding and carrying Dama.

This has caused Weber's public image and commercial value to decline repeatedly.

So after one year of using Webber, the Bullets decided to divorce.

Just like that, the young No. 1 pick in 1993 was traded for the second time in his career.

Suns fans were a bit unresponsive, but

It seems not bad to replace Jordan's successor, who is not sure whether he can play well, with a supernova power forward who has begun to realize his potential!

The combination of Grant Hill + Webber + Eddie Jones has given Phoenix fans countless daydreams about the future.

The Suns became the third pick and selected Stackhouse, so the Philadelphia 76ers took the fourth pick and won the hardest basketball sport in basketball history, the basketball push-up champion, Michael Jackson moonwalk.

Personal disciple - Kevin Garnett!

This year's draft is really full of surprises.

Shay glanced at the AI ​​next to him. With Garnett's ability, it wouldn't be a big problem to lead the team to win the No. 1 pick.

If the 76ers really win the No. 1 pick again next year, then

The NBA in this time and space is really becoming more and more interesting.

The subsequent drafts were insignificant until the 19th pick, when Shea saw the Lakers finally take action.

Jerry West used the Lakers' own first-round pick and second-round pick, plus Campbell, a blue-collar center who had worked hard for the Lakers over the years, and sent them to Detroit in a package.

In exchange for the Pistons' 19th overall pick.

Then he used this pick to select a senior guard from the University of Wisconsin.

A guy who is only 22 years old but looks like he is 52, another Jordan successor after Jerry Stackhouse, another Michael - Michael Finley!

Finley became famous in Illinois during high school, so he is very famous in Chicago.

So when he was 18 years old, Finley played 1 on 1 with Jordan, and Jordan also spoke very highly of this junior.

However, due to limited growth during the four years of college, Michael Finley fell out of the lottery.

But to Logo, it doesn't matter whether Finley can become Jordan.

All he needs is a crazy substitute, a tool man who can actively defend and give Shay some help on the offensive end.

Logo has learned in detail that although Finley became famous at a young age, he has a very good personality, is honest and friendly, has no bad habits, and is not even astringent.

As a college star player, Finley's choice of female companions in college is similar to the ancient emperor's choice of concubines.

But he has only had one steady girlfriend over the years, and he has not had a lot of children early on.

On the basketball court, although he has outstanding abilities, he listens to the coach very much.

If the coach asks him not to take a shot for an entire quarter, he can defend with peace of mind.

People say that he is simply a white player with black skin.

With such a personality, it is perfect to serve as Shay's assistant.

But Lakers fans are still uneasy. Finley is good, but how can a mere rookie help the team get back on top of the world?

Logo also has the same mentality. Although he successfully picked the person he wanted in the draft, he now has no joy of victory.

If Barkley doesn't renew his contract with the team, Logo will feel uneasy.

The day after the draft ended, Logo had a profound understanding of what it means to have a house leak and rain all night.

A piece of news suddenly broke out among the New York media - the Knicks are willing to sign Shay at a price of 18 million to 20 million!

20 million, which is an astronomical figure for the current NBA.

After all, last season that just ended, the total salary cap of an NBA team was only over 15 million.

The admiral with the highest salary only earns 7.3 million a year.

And the Knicks were actually revealed to be willing to pay Shay 20 million!

This is almost all the cap space the Knicks have left now!

Because the current version of the collective bargaining agreement still does not have the concept of a maximum salary, the Knicks can give all the remaining salary space to Shay!

Why was Gao Qiqiang, a well-known aquatic and real estate entrepreneur, able to achieve a class jump? Because after familiarizing himself with Sun Tzu's Art of War, he masterfully turned enemies into friends!

If you can't beat it, then try to get it!

The Knicks also want to turn enemies into friends, but they have been waiting for the Lakers to make mistakes! They are waiting for the relationship between Shai and the Lakers to loosen.

This summer, they finally found an opportunity to take advantage of the situation!

Seeing that the Lakers were about to be dismantled, the Knicks immediately continued to put pressure on them.

The 20 million annual salary incident was deliberately revealed to reporters by the Knicks and then exposed.

Madonna once asked Shay for $20 million to have a baby.

Now the Knicks are asking Shay for $20 million.
