After the team took off the tough guy Ibaka as he wished, Yang Fan was in a very good mood.

In the next draft pick, the Houston Rockets, which ranked 25th in the first round, chose Batum, known as the "France Pippen".

Although Batum's entire career is far from being the cornerstone of the team, being able to choose a player of this level at this pick can be called Taobao.

But if nothing unexpected happens, the Rockets will trade Batum to the Portland Trail Blazers after the draft.

Yang Fan, who knew this well, felt a little sad for the Rockets, was also thinking in his mind whether he could get Batum's trading rights from the Rockets before the Trail Blazers.

Because in Yang Fan's entire memory, the Rockets' first draft goal was never Batum, because at that time the Rockets had a lot of players on the front line.

So Morey's main goal in that year was to choose a talented player and find a qualified substitute for McGrady, followed by a training of players at the center.

In that year, the Rockets' initial goal was to select the talented forward Dante Green from the University of Memphis at the 25th pick in the first round.

However, before this draft began, Dante Green's prediction ranking was always around 20-23.

Even before that, Morey, who thought that his little abacus was very bright, communicated with other teams many times to see if he could trade the draft picks in his hands upwards.

But in these previous draft picks of the Rockets, whether it is the Bobcats or the Thunder, these are the ones who are just about to vomit blood in the regular season.

So the draft pick in his hand is as important as a real father. With the little calculation in Morey's mind, how could he trade downward draft picks with him?

In the end, Morey had no choice but to give up the talented forward Dante Green. After all, the Rockets didn't have much salary cap this season, so Morey planned to sign an inside player and find a substitute for Yao Ming.

However, as the saying goes, man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation. At this draft conference, Dante Green's draft pick has been declining.

Finally, with the 25th pick in the first round, Dante Green has not been selected by any team.

This situation obviously made Morey feel very happy, and even thought that he was the legendary pride of heaven at that moment.

But when Morey planned to choose Dante Green, whom he had long liked for a long time, he suddenly found that Batum, known as "France Pippen", had no choice, and was facing the dilemma of a decline in ranking.

Because Morey had called other teams many times before and wanted to trade draft picks, Morey knew very well that the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies were both more fond of Batum.

However, the draft picks of these two teams are relatively low, so I can only pray that Batum's pick will fall to a point where they can accept it.

At this moment, seeing that these two teams were about to be accomplished, Morey had his own little plan of wishing.

He actually gave up Dante Green and intercepted Batum, who didn't like the 25th pick in the first round in advance and did not have time to train.

As for Morey's real purpose in this operation, he intends to trade with other teams on multiple sides after the game, so that he can still get Dante Green in a roundabout way, and try to rob some rookies with other picks.

I have to say that although Morey is a legitimate waste, he is indeed a little capable of playing in the small abacus.

On the normal historical trajectory, Morey, who intercepted Batum's 25th pick in the first round, finally fulfilled his wishes.

Although this transaction was proven to be more beautiful in later generations, at that time, Morey was full of pride and had a chic and elegant style like the protagonist of the novel.

First of all, after the draft, the Trail Blazers who were desperate to get Batum took the initiative to find Morey.

Finally, after more than an hour of negotiation between the two sides, the Trail Blazers gave him the No. 27 pick in the first round this year, and the No. 33 pick in this round, successfully exchanged for Batum.

As we all know, Morey is not the intention of drinking. Although Arthur, the forward player in the 27th pick in the first round, is also strong, in Morey's opinion, he is optimistic about the rookie Dante Green.

So after a series of operations, Morey finally used Arthur, who ranked 27th in the first round, to trade Dante Green, who ranked 28th in the first round, from the Grizzlies.

While successfully getting the players he wanted, he also scammed the Grizzlies a second-round draft pick in 2009.

It should be noted here that at this year's draft, the two players the Grizzlies are Batum and Arthur.

After Morey traded Batum to the Trail Blazers, he still had another big bargaining chip that could trade from the Grizzlies, that is Arthur.

So as long as the Grizzlies choose to take off the fire at this year's draft and win Dante Green with the backhand, the Grizzlies will inevitably fall into Morey's trap.

After this series of three-party transactions, Morey finally used Batum, who ranked 25th in the first round, and got Dante Green, who ranked 28th in the first round, and rookie center Joey Dorsey with 33rd overall.

And finally got a second round pick from the Grizzlies next year.

Judging from the series of operations at that time, Morey did make a fortune, not only turned the 25th pick into two out of thin air, but also inexplicably got a draft pick from next year from the Grizzlies.

However, as the saying goes, no one who is smart will end up not having a good end, so in the end, Dante Green and Joey Dorsey proved to Morey with their strength.

"Well, that's right, we are simply the kind of scattered goods that can't be watery anymore. Are you surprised?! Are you surprised?!"

So after the Rockets still chose "French Pippen" Batum in the first round, Yang Fan fell into deep thought, thinking about whether he had the chance to tease Moray.

After all, although Morey held Batum, the 25th pick in the first round, if nothing unexpected happens, the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies are far from in contact with the Rockets.

Because once these two teams show their urgent attitude to get Batum, they will inevitably be slaughtered by the Rockets in a round.

For these people who can serve as general managers in NBA, no one is a real fool. Everyone is very calm at this time and does not want to be the first lamb to be targeted.

So at this time Morey didn't know what kind of operations he could complete in the future.

Although Morey has no worries about taking action for Batum, at this stage, all teams' chips are still in an unknown state.

And among them, Yang Fan also has a crucial clue compared to other teams, that is, Morey's series of operations are completely the intention of Drunkard.

His ultimate goal is to be selected in the first round Dante Green, and currently Dante Green is being won by the Grizzlies at the 28th pick in the first round.

If Morey cannot get Dante Green after a series of operations, then his operation will become meaningless.

After all, Morey suddenly chose to intercept Hubatum with the 25th pick in the first round, which is essentially a gamble.

Morey is betting that he is betting that the Grizzlies will definitely use the 28th pick in the first round to win Dante Green, and then use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Rockets.

So Yang Fan, who gradually understood all this, immediately called the scout Paka...
