Nets general manager Billy Jin is full of tricks.

Since he got Deron Williams in the mid-term trade last season, Billy King has been fantasizing about making the Nets a super strong team. His idea is simple to form a giant team.

If you look at the achievements of the Heat’s Big Three, you will know that the rules of the game in this league have changed drastically. The team building model of single-core + character players and even double-core + character players has fallen behind. In this era, as long as you can accumulate enough stars, you can win enough games!

Although the Heat Big Three did not win the championship in the end, this combination reached the finals in the first year. In Billy King's opinion, such a result is already very attractive.

Moreover, the Russian rich boss of the Nets who have only been in office for a year has said more than once, "We are not short of money, we are not short of championships. You are so excited, don't save me."

This boss who is willing to use money to win the championship and is about to run for Russian president has made Billy Jin a little bit over the top and a little bit floating. With a big money owner behind him, he will not be bound by any shackles.

However, since labor-management negotiations will be held this summer, and there are no big shots in the free agent market. Therefore, Billy King cannot simply and roughly rely on spending money to strengthen it. Therefore, his first choice now is to form his dream giant team through transactions!

The draft is the starting point for the summer trading of each team.

This year, the Nets only hold a draft pick with the 27th pick in the first round. In the eyes of general managers like Billy King, who only recognizes star players, he doesn't know what to use for the final draft pick in the first round. Can you directly choose an All-Star pick with the 27th pick?

It's OK, but the chance is too small, almost the same as scoring lottery. Teams with the No. 1 picks are scoring lottery, let alone picks in the final draft in the first round.

It was not until a day ago that Billy King heard a rumor that he found the wonderful use of this 27th pick.

No matter how you look at a draft pick with the 27th pick in exchange for the Tanhua show of that year, it seems to be a particularly cost-effective deal.

The day after meeting Jeff Austin, Link received a qualification offer from the Grizzlies. This means that the Grizzlies have the right to match any contract given by other teams.

Next, Link will start his long vacation. From June to mid-July, Link can enjoy his holiday and eat, drink and have fun everywhere. Starting from mid-July, Link will participate in various commercial activities. Although it is participating in commercial activities, it is also about eating, drinking and having fun, and it is about eating, drinking and having fun when someone pays.

Starting from mid-August, the life of eating, drinking and having fun is about to end. Link will find a few well-known trainers to help him with special training. If possible, Link will also invite Kobe, Paul George and others to train together, and participate in some star training camps or star games.

If you want to play formal games and stay in shape, Link doesn't mind going to the European League to ensure his competitive state. As for CBA, as long as you are not too short of money, you usually won't choose to play CBA.

When all this is over, the NBA pre-season training camp is about to begin, and Link and the Grizzlies will continue their journey next season.

Thinking about it this way, it was already winter when Link played the NBA next time. But now, it was just summer.

This is basically the case for the entire holiday. At a glance, the arrangements were quite rich. However, what Link is most concerned about at the moment is the draft.

Jeff Austin said that Chris Wallace had already paid attention to Jimmy Butler, which made Link feel a little restless. He didn't know if the Grizzlies had paid attention to Butler in history. But he knew that Jimmy Butler was eventually picked by the Bulls at the 30th pick, and that guy couldn't fall into the second round.

If Wallace really wants Butler, there may be a transaction. But how will it be traded and whether the transaction can be successful. Link cannot predict these.

Looking at the rookies who entered the Green House this year, Link couldn't help but sigh, it's really a damn!

In external public opinion, 2011 was a small year of talent show. Moreover, due to labor-management negotiations, the level of attention of the talent show has plummeted.

But looking at the familiar faces, Link felt that this year's draft was not small at all.

Needless to say, Kelly Irving is the perfect No. 1 pick. Although Kante, who was selected in the third pick, did not become a superstar, his strength is still good. Fifth place Valanciunas is also a center forward above the qualified level.

Looking further, the 11th rookie is even more amazing. Kemba Walker, who is predicted to be selected in the ninth, is not very popular with the second generation of star Klay Thompson, Lotto "goalkeeper" Morris, and the taciturn Kavay Leonard outside the Lotto.

Not finished yet, Tobias Harris, Nikola Vucevic, Mirotic, Reggie Jackson, Jimmy Butler, and Isaiah Thomas, who are almost ignored because they are too short, and they can count a bunch of people who can call the wind and rain in the league in the future.

11 is the Little Year of the Draft? From Link's perspective, this title is ridiculous.

Link was a little excited when he thought of so many familiar stars coming into the league and he was about to compete with them. Next season, the game will become more interesting.

Link, who was standing in front of the TV, finally waited for the start of the draft. Although he had already played a successful season in the NBA, Link had never experienced what it was like. To be honest, this is an irreparable regret.

But not participating in the draft is also beneficial. At least now, his salary is higher than the No. 1 pick.

Under David Stern's stinky and long speech, the draft officially began. Mr. Stern smiled particularly stiffly today. I guess he must have been overwhelmed by the labor-management negotiations.

Link was worried at first that his appearance would cause chaos in the order of the draft. After all, the butterfly effect is not impossible. Fortunately, the draft of other teams is basically the same as the original history.

In the first round, the Cavaliers finally picked their next pride in heaven after James.

In the second pick, the Timberwolves inevitably chose a second pick. Kanter went to the Jazz in the third pick, and the Cavaliers won the "Eight Wise Kings" Tristan Thompson in the fourth pick.

With the 11th pick, Thompson joins the Warriors, and a new dynasty is about to begin. With the 15th pick, Popovich dreamed of winning Leonard. The old man believes that this guy will become the ultimate weapon for defending Link next season. In this way, the draft continued to the 27th pick, and the Nets played.

Since the draft results of all teams before were the same as those of the original history, Link didn't care much about the Nets' choice. Now he just wants to see what results will be in the 30th pick in the first round.

Although it is possible that nothing will happen, Link is still looking forward to it.

As a result, when Stern announced the Nets' choice, Link was shocked.

"The 27th pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA draft, the Brooklyn Nets chose Jimmy Butler, from Marquette University!"

"What!? The Nets picked Butler away!?" This change was something Link didn't expect. The Nets and Butler were completely out of the way!

But just as the announcement ended, the commentators on the TV immediately announced, "There is a deal!"

"The Memphis Grizzlies sent O.J. Mayo, and got Jimmy Butler's signing rights from the Nets and former Lakers defender Jordan Famar! O.J. Mayo was actually traded. He was suddenly sent to Brooklyn without any warning! The Grizzlies did take action. It seems that they are going to completely straighten Link! But is it a bit of a loss to use Mayo, the Tetra Flower, for only a 27th overall pick and a regular role player guard?"
Chapter completed!
