This year is essentially a weak year for the draft. Compared with 2013, there is no one who is absolutely capable of being selected as the No. 1 pick, and lottery picks are generally considered not to be particularly strong.

This is why Lin Ying thought of asking the Nets to trade up draft picks to try to select Anunoby.

If it were another big draft year, this kind of operation would be basically unfeasible for a team like the Nets that doesn't have much leverage.

The draft has not yet started, but Durant first chatted with Lin Ying about where James will go next season.

Compared to Lin Ying, Durant pays significantly more attention to James and is much more enthusiastic.

"There are rumors now that LeBron wants to be teammates with Anthony Davis?"

Durant is indeed a master of social media. He has already obtained this news before it has been confirmed.

However, there is a saying that "there is no airtight wall in the world." After Paul Rich contacted the Pelicans management, it was only a matter of time before the outside world knew about this matter.

Of course, not many people know this news now.

Durant originally thought that Lin Ying would be somewhat surprised, but Lin Ying's reaction was "sure enough".

The reason is very simple, because Davis has also been teammates with James in history, and they even won a championship together.

Although the champion is not recognized by many people due to external factors, a champion is a champion. At least it can be said that the two are very suitable in terms of technology and personality.

"I think maybe they won't end up in New Orleans."

Lin Ying nodded and expressed his thoughts.

"oh?"

"LeBron needs to consider his business interests and does not rule out the possibility of Anthony Davis requesting a designated deal from the Pelicans management."

Durant was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh suddenly.

"Seconds!"

After what happened with George, it is indeed not uncommon to appoint a third party.

"Of course, it's not necessarily true, because there aren't many places that can accommodate both of them at the same time, and Davis's trade value is now at its highest point."

Lin Ying didn't say anything.

Because although Davis also applied for a trade in history, the current situation is still very different.

And there is one person who cannot be ignored.

Jaylen Brown.

Although the Pelicans did not make the playoffs last season, Cousins ​​played really well before he was injured, and Brown's performance was particularly impressive.

Especially after Cousins ​​was injured, Brown earned himself the right to take shots with his outstanding performance in the first half of the season, and his statistics in the second half were also quite good.

To use an inappropriate word, if Cousins ​​hadn't been injured late, last year's Rookie of the Year would have gone to Brown.

Therefore, the possibility of James going to the Pelicans cannot be completely ruled out. After all, James has a very accurate vision for finding teammates.

"This makes me feel a little itchy."

Durant said and rubbed his hands.

It may be strange to say it, but the fact is that wherever James goes, people are more excited about him than playing games himself.

Well, this is already the fourth season of Where’s James? Decision 4!

They talked about it, and the live talent show also started.

In a small draft year, many lottery players choose to trade their draft picks.

This includes the Celtics using Thomas and a lot of chips to get the No. 3 overall pick and select Jayson Tatum.

Although Jaylen Brown is doing well in the Pelicans and will not go to the Celtics, and he will not have any double scouts, Tatum is indeed the core of the team.

This is also good news for the Nets, because the large number of transactions means that Warken Dean's operation is feasible.

Later developments indeed proved this point.

When the draft reached the middle of the first round, the Nets successfully traded the No. 30 pick with Dorian Finney-Smith, who was selected last year, to get the No. 21 pick, and used this pick to successfully pick

Anunoby.

After Lin Ying saw this result, he turned around and gave Durant a high-five.

Anunoby is called a replica of Siakam by fans. Although it is difficult to start the game because of the twin stars of him and Durant, he definitely has the ability to play in the rotation.

Just like Butler back then, with the same training, it won't be a bad idea to be a starter when the time comes.

This wave is just like a card drawing game, with a guarantee already in place.

And soon, benefits came too.

After talking about Anunoby before, Dean Walken also talked with Lin Ying about which second-round picks could be selected.

Lin Ying also gave some lists at that time.

Then Warken Dean's operation came, and he directly used cash to buy a mid-second-round draft pick.

This wave of operations once again confirmed that this year's draft is indeed a weak draft year.

Then, Warken Dean used this pick to select a forward they needed, or a swingman...
