"I announce that the Cleveland Cavaliers have selected Lorenzen Wright from the University of Memphis with the eleventh overall pick in the first round!"

"I announce that the Charlotte Hornets have selected Samakie Walker from the University of Louisville with the 12th overall pick in the first round!"

The Los Angeles Lakers originally wanted to use the No. 12 pick to select Kobe Bryant or Kerry Kittles, but the results were often unsatisfactory and the Lakers failed to grab the last one.

Now that the deal between the Hornets and the Lakers is over, they naturally choose to recruit the inside players their team needs.

Samakie Walker's biggest strength is his good rebounding, which is definitely a good complement to the Hornets' interior.

"I announce that the Sacramento Kings selected Peja Stojakovic from Serbia with the 13th overall pick in the first round!"

To be honest, Bruce also wants to steal Peja, but this guy still has two years of contract with the Greek League team Thessaloniki. Two years, that is, it will be 1998 before Peja can appear in the NBA.

Two years is actually not a short time, especially since the team is currently short of players at the small forward position. Bruce can pay Thessaloniki a liquidated damages to bring Peja directly this year.

But Bruce thought about it in a blink of an eye. It was completely unnecessary. I might as well wait one more year. In 1999, he could choose Richard Hamilton, Shawn Marion, and Corey Magee.

Tee, Ron Artest, James Posey, Devin George, Russian Andrei Kirilenko, this series of small forwards, I can't even choose from them, so what about Pei?

Where's Jia?

"I announce that the Phoenix Suns have selected Tony Delk from the University of Kentucky with the 14th overall pick in the first round!"

With Nash already selected, the Suns could only choose Tony Delk, the point guard from the University of Kentucky. Fortunately, he also belongs to a wealthy university, and he is also a legendary star at the University of Kentucky. In his senior year, he averaged 1.0 points per game.

He scored 17.8 points and shot 44.3% from three-point range. These statistics are worthy of a lottery pick.

…

The draft continues.

Wait until the Heat get the No. 20 pick in the first round.

Bruce couldn't sit still at this moment, and quickly told general manager Mitch Kupchak to ask him to call Riley of the Heat, who selected Jermaine O'Neal with the No. 20 pick in the first round.

The Heat also followed Bruce's instructions and selected Jermaine O'Neal.

What a mystery. The Heat had the 20th pick and the Trail Blazers had the 21st pick. They were just one position apart. Bruce almost had to trade with the Trail Blazers for other members of the team.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and Xiao Ao was finally obtained by him.

Kobe + O'Brien, this is Bruce's huge gain in this year's draft.

Both of them need a lot of games to experience.

"Mickey, come on, let's celebrate."

Nothing excites Bruce more than getting Kobe + O'Brien.

"By the way, after a week, notify them to come to the team to sign."

"Okay, I will notify them on time."

Mitch Kupchak is finally relieved, and all that's left is to renew the contracts of some of the team's expiring players.

The Seattle SuperSonics also used their first-round pick No. 27 to select Ben Wallace.

…

With the first round drafts all over.

At this time, transaction information once again appeared on the big screen on the stage.

The first transaction to appear is:

"The New York Knicks traded Anthony Mason + Derrick Harper + Jerome Williams, selected with the 18th pick in the first round of 1996, with the Minnesota Timberwolves to obtain the "landscape prospect" Stephon Marbury.

"

The Knicks actually got Stephon Marbury?

When the deal came up, Bruce saw it too.

He also didn't expect that Marbury would join the Knicks so quickly.

I asked why the Timberwolves didn't make a swap deal with the Bucks. It turned out that the Knicks had a hand in it.

Then the second transaction appeared.

"The Dallas Mavericks traded Scott Brooks + a 1999 first-round pick with the New York Hans to acquire Steve Nash."

Ah, the Han Chinese team didn’t want that Canadian guy!

The spectators looked confused. They probably didn't expect that Bruce was "making a wedding dress" for the Mavericks.

The third transaction also appeared.

“The Miami Heat traded Glenn Rice + Jermaine O’Neal, selected with the 20th pick in the first round, + the 1998 first round pick with the New York Hans to acquire Jamal Mashburn.

Isn't this Bruce crazy?!

The New York Hans take another high school player?!

Bruce used the No. 4 pick in his hand to select high school guard Kobe Bryant at the beginning, which was surprising enough. Now they have traded back high school student Jermaine O'Neal, plus the Hanren team

Garnett entered the draft as a high school student?!

Bruce, what on earth is he thinking?!

Did he think this was a competition for high school students? Otherwise, why would so many high school students be needed!

This is the NBA, the first professional basketball league in the world, and it’s not just a kid’s show of excellence!

Or are the Blues preparing to continue to mess up in the new season in order to compete for Wake Forest University's Tim Duncan?

You know, Bruce traded for the team's best scorer, and then let a few college-age rookies play in the new season?

Even many top executives of the teams in the box had frosty expressions on their faces. Bruce was trying to steal Tim Duncan from them. They were not fools, and they could all see it. Bruce had snatched two high school students this time.

It was definitely for Tim Duncan. Is it possible for these two high school students to lead the New York Hans to the playoffs? Of course it is impossible.

If the Blues really get Tim Duncan, the inside combination of Mourning + Duncan, and an organizer like Kidd, then they won't be able to compete in next season. They might as well let the league directly announce that they have won the championship.

.

…

Just when the management of each team is still struggling with Bruce's destruction of the balance of the league.

The last transaction came as promised.

This was a big three-party deal, and the audience, media reporters, and senior executives in each box were all stunned.

"The New York Knicks took out Willie Anderson + Cary Grant + Brad Rohaus + a 98.01 first-round pick."

"The Atlanta Hawks took out Christian Laettner + Sean Ruskop + Craig Elu + John Wallace, who was selected with the 19th pick in the first round of 1996."

"Seattle SuperSonics take out Shawn Kemp."

In the end the three parties got:

"The New York Knicks got Christian Laettner + Sean Luxor + John Wallace, who was selected with the 19th pick in the first round of 1996."

"Atlanta Hawks get Shawn Kemp + Willie Anderson + Brad Rohaus."

"Seattle SuperSonics received Craig Elu + Cary Grant + New York Knicks' 98.01 first-round pick."

Are the Seattle SuperSonics crazy too?

Traded two of the team's leading stars?

What is this for?

Don’t want four consecutive championships?

Many people in this rookie class are quite jealous of Iverson. He entered the defending champion SuperSonics as the No. 1 pick. This will definitely make anyone envious and jealous, but when they watch the SuperSonics even trade Kemp

After going out, everyone was ready to watch Iverson's jokes. I didn't choose you. Iverson thought he was going to pick peaches, but now, you Iverson is also here today, hahahaha...

Of course, the executives in each box are no longer calm. The New York Hans and Seattle SuperSonics have undergone tremendous changes at the same time. Regarding this unknown threat, the executives of each team have also begun to be more vigilant.

Many team executives couldn't believe that the Sonics actually abandoned their martial arts skills and gave away the four consecutive championships they were about to win.

People like them don't dare to play like this. How courageous does it take to do this?

SuperSonics fans were also confused at this time. What is the team doing?

Already given up on the new season?

Why were Payton and Kemp traded together?

Everyone wants to go to Key Arena and ask the SuperSonics management what they want to do.

These people don't understand, not to mention these fans who love the Sonics don't understand, even league president Stern doesn't understand.

When he saw this deal appear in his hands, he couldn't believe his glasses.

Stern also hurriedly called Paul Allen privately backstage to ask, "What do you want from the Sonics?"

Like Bruce, start collecting draft picks to play now?

He is a child and you are also a young man?

But Stern could only think about these words in his heart, and he didn't dare to say them to Paul Allen.
Chapter completed!
