The ideal trading partner of the Nets did not come to their door. On the contrary, Mo Yutian, the general manager of the Rockets who did not intend to contact, took the initiative to approach Jiang Mingliang after the lottery ceremony.

Pat Riley, Angie, and Mo Yutian are the best of the general managers of the league. Jiang Mingliang is not willing to deal with these three at all. Let's just talk about Mo Yutian, who is an expert in taking advantage of loopholes (using rules). He was the first one in the league who dared to use a poisonous contract to snatch someone. He was also the first one in the league to offer a big contract extension in advance with two years left on the contract of the head star. He even invented a contract called "" Human flesh TE" (a small amount of guarantee, a lot of non-guaranteed clauses, supporting salary space for transactions), to facilitate transactions. Another characteristic of Mo Yutian is that he only makes money but not loses in business.

Holding a shit peg in his hand, he won't change a twist, that's the kind of person he's talking about.

I don't know who disclosed the news. Anyway, Mo Yutian knew that Jiang Mingliang was actively improving his draft pick, and offered to listen to the Nets' offer for the No. 14 pick.

"I believe you also know that the rookie we are looking at is predicted to be between the ninth and twelfth picks, which is why we try to trade most of the targets in this range. The fourteenth pick, Not enough to meet our needs." Jiang Mingliang certainly remembered that Kawhi was selected with the fifteenth overall pick, but he traded ahead of time to seek safety and peace of mind, and to avoid some butterfly effects.

If you can't get Kawhi, then Plan B Butler uses the Heat's draft picks to choose at will!

"Hehe, but with our draft pick, it will be much easier for you to talk to the team in front, isn't it?" Mo Yutian smiled and threw out his own bait.

It's hard to understand on paper, isn't it? To use an analogy, the Nets and the 76ers discuss their favorite rookies. The 76ers, who hold the No. 12 pick, select the Nets' candidate. The Nets can use the 14th overall pick to select the 76ers' favorite, plus some additions in exchange. This kind of trading plan is indeed more attractive than Jiang Mingliang's abrupt holding of his No. 19 and No. 28 picks.

"Let's talk about your request?" Jiang Mingliang sighed after clarifying his thoughts, and followed Mo Yutian's advice.

"Jeremy Lin adds the nineteenth lottery." Mo Yutian's smile always made Jiang Mingliang feel uncomfortable.

Whether Yi Jianlian will stay with the team next season is unknown, and if Jeremy Lin is sent away, the foundation that Jiang Mingliang laid for the Nets in China will basically be gone.

"I don't accept this bargaining chip. In fact, after the Rockets opened the China market, we can tell how much their profits have increased. In terms of business development, Jeremy Lin is a very important person." In front of businessmen, any feelings you talk about are fake, everyone It's about profit.

"Then Whiteside plus the 19th pick." Mo Yutian revealed his true intentions. His goal is Dabaibian, who shines in the playoffs.

Tall and long arms, outstanding physical fitness, excellent athletic ability, steady improvement in offensive skills, and a basic salary contract that can last for two years, it fits Mo Yutian's needs very well.

"This is impossible!"

"Mr. Jiang, if you say that you are unwilling to offer any valuable bargaining chips for the team, but you want to 'rob' your colleagues everywhere, maybe I think you haven't figured out the NBA environment. And, you have to understand, White Seid is under the pressure of Lopez, so he won't have many chances to reach the level you expected." Mo Yutian taught bluntly.

Although he was a little reluctant to admit it, Jiang Mingliang knew that what Mo Yutian said made sense. Neither Lopez nor Whiteside has the ability to swing to other positions. Judging from the limited number of games, the effect of the twin towers forming a counter-trend can only be said to be average. So, the two must be one of them sooner or later matter, and it will not be more than two years later.

"Raise the 19th pick to the 14th pick, just wondering if Whiteside is going too far." Jiang Mingliang countered.

Mo Yutian smiled and said: "Although my goal is Whiteside, but in the draft, I also have players I am optimistic about! In this way, I will give the team this year's second round and 500,000 cash."

Jiang Mingliang still tried to win another second round next year, but Mo Yutian, who had compromised to the limit, refused to back down no matter what. Finally the talk was over, Jiang Mingliang also heaved a sigh of relief, and sighed in his heart that dealing with Mo Yutian is really not an easy task, and it is really difficult to take advantage of it.

The opinions of West and Stevens were consulted, and both of them voted in favor of the deal. Therefore, the deal was concluded, and the Nets sent the 19th overall pick plus Whiteside in exchange for the Rockets' No. The 14th overall pick plus the 8th overall pick in the second round. In this way, Jiang Mingliang successfully raised the team's number of picks in this draft to five, namely, the 14th overall pick in the first round ( From the Rockets), the 28th pick in the first round (from the Heat), the 8th pick in the second round (from the Rockets), the 13th pick in the second round (self), the 23rd pick in the second round (from the Magic), and the Rockets , then obtained an insider potential stock that seems to be able to be used as the core of the team.

Although the team was built in the model of the Young Guards, Jiang Mingliang did not intend to add so many new players to the team this season, and continuing to improve the draft pick is the kingly way. After exchanging information about their own target rookies, the Nets sent out the 13th pick in the second round and reached a deal with the 76ers to raise their draft pick to twelfth.

Picking up Leonard is a little bit more certain.

After all, the young Bulls couldn't resist the pressure from the Heat's Big Three. After winning the first game with Rose's key points, the next four games, the Bulls' offense was like a mud bull into the sea. See you again Not much water was spent. James and Wade teamed up to eliminate Rose with an average of 57 points per game. How strong the Big Three are, they have been fully demonstrated in the Heat's playoff journey this season.

With an approval rate of 37.57%, Rose won his first MVP trophy with an absolute advantage, and he became the youngest regular season MVP in league history. Howard took off DPOY without any suspense. Rookie of the Year honors belong to Griffin. No matter how much Kevin Love is criticized, the explosion in statistics is a clear fact, and there is no suspense about getting the Most Improved Player.

Griffin, George, Wall, Cousins, and Favors led the best rookie team, and Bledsoe, who happened to be ranked sixth on the rookie list, was only selected to the rookie second team. Except for the rookie first team, George successfully entered the second team of the best defensive team, and it is indeed something to be proud of being favored by the best defensive team in his rookie period.

The "beautiful" future of the Nets seems to be not far away!
