Chapter 104: The Knicks’ front office IQ is on the line

After finishing the call, Lian Dao returned to the scene of the draft.

At this time, the first round of the elective conference was drawing to a close.

Although there are some changes in the draft, the selected teams have not changed much.

History revision?

Griffin was still selected by the Clippers, and James Harden was selected by the Thunder. The Kings still chose Tyreke Evans.

Facing Thabeet, who fell to fifth, he was also picked off by the Grizzlies. The Timberwolves traded for the Wizards' sixth overall pick, and they still chose the golden boy Ricky Rubio.

But there was a difference at the seventh pick, where the Timberwolves selected DeMar DeRozan.

However, Lian Dao also suddenly discovered that the Timberwolves have basically completed the reconstruction work.

Rubio, DeMar, Kevin Love.

If their management is not stupid, in the next few years, the Timberwolves are likely to become the winning team in the Western Conference, at least entering the playoffs should not be a problem.

And when the Raptors' management knew that the Timberwolves selected DeMar, they were also dumbfounded. There was no way, and time did not allow them to have too many choices.

So after the Golden State Warriors selected Stephen Curry, they also hurriedly wrote a name: Brandon Jennings, and submitted it.

As another victim, the Milwaukee Bucks are exactly the same as the Raptors just now. They chose: Jonny Flynn.

That's right, it is the sixth overall player who should have gone to the Timberwolves in history.

It is also worth mentioning that Taj Gibson was selected by the Suns with the 14th overall pick.

A total of three USC players were selected in the first round this year, and they were all lottery picks.

Dwight gave up participating in the draft due to his unsatisfactory ranking in the previous draft predictions and returned to the Trojans.

Daniel Hackett was not selected in the end, he lost.

In this regard, Lian Dao and the three of them continued to comfort him.

Although Daniel was a little frustrated, this guy was very nervous and recovered quickly.

The draft is over, and the few of them will be temporarily separated.

They each have a lot going on next.

For example, Bill Duffy is going to take DeMar to discuss the "Kobe Project" sneaker contract with Nike.

And Nike once again made an offer to Lian Dao, but was still rejected by Lian Dao.

Gibson also took a few commercials, and he also needs to use this time to complete the filming.

For Lian Dao, this time his parents come to the United States, he also needs to accompany them.

Lian Dao's parents also held a celebration party for him.

It is said to be a celebration party, but it is actually a big dinner between Lian Dao's parents, Lian Dao's master and his brothers.

They are all acquaintances, so Lian Dao will not reject this kind of happy gathering.

After the draft, Guo Yuwei also found someone to upload Lian Dao's complete workout with the Clippers online.

After uploading, it got huge clicks and retweets. At this time, everyone really understood the truth of the trial training at that time.

And the black fans who were raving about Lian Dao on the Internet at that time also disappeared. Of course, they did not disappear, but chose to lie dormant and wait for the next opportunity to attack.

Fans of the New York Knicks adjusted their vane again this time, and even the Knicks management was slapped with rainbow farts.

This time, Lian Dao really saw the Knicks fan's love interest. Even the face-changing master would tremble when he saw it.

Next, Lian Dao spent two days with his parents in New York.

After that, Lian Guochang and Zhao Ruoyun also set off to return to China. After all, there are still companies in the country, and a lot of things need to be dealt with by the two of them.

Before leaving, Zhao Ruoyun pulled Guo Yuwei to whisper at the airport. Lian Dao wanted to eavesdrop, but Zhao Ruoyun sent him away after he found out.

But on the way back, Guo Yuwei's face was always red, and she would glance at Lian Dao from time to time while sitting in the co-pilot.

This made Lian Dao somewhat puzzled.

After sending his parents back to China, the next step is to go to the team to sign the contract. Fortunately, Lian Dao also has a house in New York, in the upper east affluent area, which was the real estate of Lian Dao's parents when they first came to the United States.

Of course, this house has not been lived in for a long time.

Needs a full cleaning inside and out.

Although the houses in the upper east affluent area are not as big as the mansions in San Francisco, they still have an area of more than 900 square meters.

It also has indoor and outdoor basketball courts, as well as a swimming pool and gym.

All configurations are not bad, the most important thing is that it is very close to Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue.

This is very convenient for Lian Dao to go to the Madison Arena.

The two nannies and bodyguards who were in San Francisco before, after consulting for advice, they also followed Lian Dao to New York.

After tidying up the house, Lian Dao also received a call from Downey.

Downey is mainly concerned about Lian Dao's house and the signing of the contract.

To talk about the Knicks' operation in the free market this year, I was really surprised. The Knicks offered Paul Millsap a four-year contract of 33.5 million. That's $1.5 million more than the four-year, $32 million that the Blazers offered Paul Millsap.

In the end, the Jazz gave up the match, mainly because the Jazz this season is really tired. Okur, Boozer, and Milps are all contract years. If the Jazz matches this contract, there will be no salary space next season. Renew Boozer.

Therefore, this time the Jazz management also gave up matching.

It can be said that this operation of the Knicks also made Lian Dao feel incredible. You must know that the Jazz matched the Blazers' contract with 32 million for four years in history.

He really didn't expect that the Jazz would give up the match just because of 1.5 million in this life.

And this time the Knicks also signed a good player.

Paul Milps~www.mtlnovel.com~ is not a big power forward, but his confrontation and speed are not bad at the power forward position. He has long wingspan, sufficient strength, excellent jumping ability, accurate prediction, rebounding and defensive ability Especially outstanding, the key is that he also has an excellent three-pointer.

However, controlling fouls is a weakness of Milps, which is one of the reasons why he doesn't get a lot of playing time.

Lian Dao and the younger sister also came to Madison Square Garden the next day, and today Lian Dao signed a contract with the Knicks.

Lian Dao came to Madison Square Garden with ease, and went directly to the general manager's office.

Inside the office, Downey and D'Antoni are both inside.

D'Antoni also gave Lian Dao a hug when he came up.

Seeing Lian Dao, he also has more expectations for the new season.

D'Antoni also didn't think about making the playoffs in his first season as a rookie, because it is a bit difficult for the Knicks' current lineup.

He is training in the new season. As long as Lian Dao can grow up in the new season, there will be more possibilities in the next season.
