"Uh-huh!"

Barkley and Smith nodded at the same time.

"In this way, Paul should be the third pick. After all, Sloan's Jazz has a new Malone Boozer, but no new Stockton."

During the discussion between the three, the top three drafts were given in an instant.

The fans listened to it interestingly.

However, some fans think they are nonsense, after all, they are "bricks".

Soon, David Stern walked out and New York fans booed as usual.

"In the 2005 NBA draft, the Milwaukee Bucks chose the center from Australia in the first round, Andrew Bogut."

"The second pick, the Hawks chose the North Carolina striker, Marvin Williams."

After guessing the No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick in succession, Barkley and Smith were excited to high-five with Li Lei.

"My Lord Ba really opened his eyes!"

Barkley looked particularly happy.

However, in the third pick, the Jazz chose Deron Williams.

This was beyond the expectations of the three.

But it's already very good to be able to guess two of the three correctly.

It is worth mentioning that the Jazz's third draw was exchanged from the Trail Blazers.

They used this year's first round 6 and 27 to switch to the Trail Blazers' No. 3 draw.

From this point of view, the Jazz have long been interested in Deron Williams.

Mr. Sloan attaches great importance to the fat man Delong and thinks he is an excellent executor of pick-and-roll tactics.

The Hornets, ranked fourth, happily chose Chris Paul and found a big leak.

Fifth, the new Charlotte Bobcats chose the striker, Raymond Felton.

Sixth, Trail Blazers, Swinger, Martel Webster.

Seventh, Raptors, forward, Charlie Villanueva.

Eighth, Knicks, Big Man, Channing Furley.

Ninth, Warriors, forward, Eck Diogu.

Tenth, Lakers, center, Andrew Bynum.

Seventeen, Pacers, small forward, Danny Granger.

Eighteenth, Celtics, Gerald Green.

Twenty-one, Suns, Nate Robinson.

Twenty-nine, Knicks, Center, David Lee.

Thirty, Heat, Forward, Wien Simien.

Then, it was the second round.

Tenth, Warriors, defender, Monta Ellis.

Thirty, Pistons, Alex Aker.

There are still some good newcomers in this draft, but there are not many and the overall quality is not high.

Compared with the 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005, they are all relatively poor.

After the draft, Li Lei invited Barkley and Smith to have a big meal.

This thing is actually the same as in China, and social relationships need to be slowly cultivated.

...

Afterwards, Li Lei returned to Miami.

Continue to start training under the guidance of Tim Graver.

And in the past few days, Graver has also had new ideas.

Li Lei's palm, which was bigger than Jordan, made Graver's heart beat, and he had to develop it.

...

At the same time, the NBA trading market kicked off.

Houston chose to extend Okafor's contract for one year.

It seems Houston is very satisfied with Okafor's performance in the rookie season.

The Los Angeles Clippers gave Jariqi a basic salary contract, and Jariqi became a restricted free agent.

The New Jersey Nets refused to renew their contract with Cliff Robinson.

The Toronto Raptors extend Chris Bosh's contract by one year.

A few days ago, the trading market seemed particularly calm. Except for each company signing its own rookies, they were all small contracts with little ones, which were not worth mentioning.

July 5.

The Magic team made some big noise.

They signed three assistant coaches at one time, Randy Witman, Mark Bryant, and Malone Willie.

But Stan Van Gundy is still the head coach.

The Magic reached the Eastern Conference semifinals last season.

If Hill hadn't been injured again, they might have gone further.

Poor McGrady, she was cheated by Hill again.

July 8.

The Milwaukee Bucks appoint Terry Stotes as head coach.

July 21.

The Pistons appointed Sanders as head coach.

This matter is worth talking about.

Larry Brown coached the Pistons for two years, once in the Eastern Conference Finals and once in the championship.

With such a record, it is normal for the Pistons to terminate the contract with Brown.

Many fans began to accuse the Pistons management of being stupid and comparing with the Magic management.

But then a reporter revealed: During the Eastern Conference Finals, Larry Brown had very close ties with the management of the Cavaliers and Knicks, and even delayed the Pistons' preparations.

This directly angered the Pistons' big boss Karen Davidson.

The limelight reversed, and the fans who originally spoke for Larry Brown disappeared. The fans turned their fingers and attacked Larry Brown, believing that he was not professional enough.

Later, another reporter revealed: Larry Brown had a long conflict with the Pistons management.

Last season, Larry Brown has been seeking a higher team status since leading the Pistons to win the championship.

But the Pistons couldn't satisfy him, so Larry Brown began to seek other ways out.

As soon as the news broke, Larry Brown was squirted again.

"Taking the Pistons' money and contacting other teams is immoral, unprofessional, unprofessional!"

But Larry Brown's reputation is too high. After all, Popovich respectfully calls him "teacher", so not long after, the matter was suppressed again.

July 28.

Just a week later, Larry Brown was appointed as the new head coach by the New York Knicks.

Congratulations to the Knicks, digging a big hole for himself.

Congratulations to the Knicks rookies, Milicic's yesterday is your tomorrow.

However, Milicic's good days have finally come.

When he knew Larry Brown got out, Milicic immediately called Li Lei. He was not good at speaking and talked for an hour.

The dark clouds on Milicic's head finally dissipated.

However, Li Lei is not as optimistic as Milicic. After all, Milicic has missed the best two years.

"No matter what, Dako, don't give up."

Milicic kept agreeing on the other end of the phone.

There was no big deal in the trading market throughout July.

But in peace, there is an undercurrent.

August 2.
