Chapter 108 The first Chinese player in the NBA
"Okay, the Nets will probably want the 13th pick we have. According to my guess, they are likely to propose to exchange their own 29th pick for our 13th pick."
"Wilson, do you have any players you like in the 13th pick?" Petri asked.
Davidson shook his head.
In this year's draft, he actually only needs two second round picks.
One is used to choose Batel.
Another one is to choose Eric Snow.
This is what Davidson gained in the player manual before.
This is a No. 1 player. This year's mysterious stone tablet shows that he was selected by the 43rd pick in the second round.
As for Bartel, any draft pick can probably be selected.
So Davidson doesn't care much about the draft picks.
"Okay, if not, I'll have some contact with the Nets in the past two days. Before the draft has started, I'll settle this matter first." Petri was still quite straightforward in his work, and this must be much better than Willis Reed.
After leaving Petri’s office, Sidney drove to pick up Daddy and Davidson.
Sidney is ten years older than Davidson, and he is young like a sister to take care of Davidson. Although he hasn't seen each other for some years, his relationship is still quite good.
"I really didn't expect that our little Wilson will become a head coach now."
"I knew for a long time that you will definitely have a future." Sidney gave Davidson a hug and said in surprise.
Davidson felt very kind, "Sidney, you are both mothers of two children, but it hasn't changed at all."
In the next few days, Davidson rested for three days, and then went to China without stopping.
This time he went to China, it was definitely different from the last time.
Last time, Davidson was not confident because he didn't even know where his next home was.
I had the confidence this time, so I signed a contract with the basket manager after I went there.
Then he handed over the "transfer fee" of $320,000, and even Bartel's affairs were completely settled.
However, due to the visa, Bartel was unable to go to the United States with Davidson this time.
"Bus, after the news of the draft, I will call you. You can leave for the United States in about August." Before leaving, Davidson gave Bartle another instructed him.
Bartel nodded excitedly. He would be selected by the NBA in a few days and become the number one Chinese person to enter the NBA.
Before this, there was actually a Chinese man appearing at the NBA draft.
Song Tao.
In 1987, he was selected by the Hawks in the third round of 67.
After Song Tao was selected, the Eagle sent the contract, and Song Tao also signed the name. Everything was ready, but the east wind was not needed.
Unfortunately, just two months after he was selected, he had a comminuted knee fracture in a game, completely cutting off hopes of playing in the NBA.
Although Bater is not the first Chinese to be selected by the NBA, he will definitely be the first Chinese to be able to play in the NBA.
At that time, it may make NBA popular in China.
After giving the instructions to Bartel, Davidson returned to the United States. Now there is still a lot of things waiting for him to solve.
Although my father is now the president of basketball affairs, Davidson still wants to do more and try to let his father spend more time with his family. It is not something that is really hard to deal with, so he won’t bother him.
As soon as he arrived in the United States, Pitri told Davidson.
The deal with the Nets is completed.
The Nets sent out Murraysan and a 29-pick pick in the first round in exchange for the Kings center Polynis and a 13-pick pick.
In fact, the Nets must have lost this deal. Although they got a higher pick, the value gap between Murraysan and Polynis is far higher than that.
Not to mention a 13th pick, if the Nets look for a team like the Raptors or the Grizzlies, maybe Murraysan can get at least two lottery draws, and there must be a center player of Polyns' level to take-out.
The Nets definitely don’t want to sell Murraysan. Some people do business that loses their heads, but no one is willing to do the losing business.
But now the Nets can't sell it, and they must sell it to the Kings.
Murraysan's attitude was already extremely clear. He was about to leave immediately and pointed out that he would go to the king.
If you don't let it go, maybe Murraysan can do something at a critical moment.
Because Murraysan pointed out that he was going to the Kings, other teams would definitely not be able to take action even if they were interested in Murraysan.
Because after buying Murraysan, Murraysan might not work hard, so he ran away after the contract ended...
At that time, these teams will face a mess.
The Nets finally had to pinch their noses and admit it. The King was actually quite kind enough. It might be because he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he did not suffer too much.
On June 27, Davidson went to Toronto, Canada alone this time.
In order to open up the Toronto football market, the league specially placed the venue of the draft at the Raptors' home court.
If you look at it this way, it’s no wonder the Grizzlies moved from Vancouver to Memphis later...
We are all new teams this year. Stern puts the venue in Toronto, don’t you think about Vancouver’s feelings?
...
Originally, my father wanted to accompany Davidson this time, but the distance was too far, so Davidson didn't want his father to work hard, so he simply persuaded him to lead the team to the draft.
This time Davidson brought two people, all of whom were assistant coaches of former head coach Gary.
Davidson came to the king alone to take office, so naturally he did not have his own team of assistant coaches. Now some of them are useful.
In the evening, Davidson started entering the venue with two assistant coaches.
Davidson was a little nervous before entering the venue. He was the only one who made the decision tonight's big scene, so he was naturally worried about some mistakes.
However, after stepping into the venue, Davidson became much calmer. He had participated in the draft twice with his father.
There were no changes in the previous two times, such as being intercepted by someone.
This time, because the two players to be selected were all unknown people, it was even more impossible for changes to happen. Davidson naturally calmed down and led his people to slowly walk into the venue.
Many people looked at Davidson, and they were incredible about Davidson's successful rise.
You should know that Davidson is just 24 years old now, and he has become the head coach of a team at such an age. If it weren't for the living examples of Davidson, no one would believe it if he said it.
Davidson directly became the youngest head coach in NBA history!
Davidson had thought before that after signing a contract with the King, he would definitely give himself a good achievement reward.
But until today, Davidson has not obtained it.
According to his guess, it is very likely that you can get this reward after the season really begins.
