After the finals, Deng Fang went on vacation like the players.
A few days after the championship parade ended, the much-anticipated draft began.
On June 27, 2013, the draft was held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Not surprisingly, this draft once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
Deng Fang has made amazing moves in the drafts in the past few years every year. Although they are a championship team, the Warriors can select useful players every year, which makes other teams envious!
That’s a rookie!
Child labor contracts are cheap and easy to win, who wouldn’t want them?!
Why is Deng Fang so awesome?
This year the Warriors have a lot of bargaining chips: draft picks!
Last year, the Warriors obtained several first-round picks through the trade of Prince and Lopez Jr., coupled with previous accumulation, the Warriors have 7 first-round picks and one second-round pick!
Although the Warriors no longer have their own first-round pick this year, they have two first-round picks from other teams!
You know, because the Warriors have the best record in the league, their first-round pick is meaningless. The first-round picks of other teams are much more valuable!
With Deng Fang's ability, I don't know what kind of good prospects these two first-round picks will select!
Deng Fang actually went on vacation?
Well, it must be a bluff and a deliberate deception!
It seems that Deng Fang has long been interested in the candidate, and he wants to select the candidate remotely online!
Who doesn’t know this little trick?!
Just when other teams thought Deng Fang was going to make a big move, who would have thought that the Warriors actually sold all three draft picks in their hands!
sold!
sold……
The three draft picks were sold for a total of $13 million...that's all...
Is Deng Fang stupid?
That's a first-round pick!
A second-round pick can be sold for 3 million, but two first-round picks plus a second-round pick only cost 13 million?!
You know, although theoretically draft picks can be sold, in reality few teams sell first-round picks - directly exchange the first-round pick for money.
There are examples of first-round pick exchanges or first-round picks for players, but it is extremely rare to directly exchange first-round picks for money!
Especially someone like Deng Fang who sold two first-round picks at once!
If the draft picks sold by Deng Fang were used to select a talented player, wouldn't the Warriors feel regretful?
Outsiders were very puzzled, and many people even ridiculed Deng Fang, saying he was too stupid, but Deng Fang didn't care.
There are not many good rookies to choose from this year, except for Giannis Antetokounmpo, they are all garbage!
Only Antetokounmpo with the 15th pick is a good choice, but Deng Fang doesn't know how to choose!
That is the cornerstone player for the Bucks in the future. Even if Deng Fang selects him, he won’t be able to keep him!
Of course, Antetokounmpo is still very immature now and is a rough guy. If Deng Fang wanted to choose, the system would not stop him, but he would not choose.
Antetokounmpo is of no use now, especially with the Warriors!
What's the use of a rough guy who can't shoot and can only attack the frame with the ball?
Should Curry be used as a fixed-point shooter to open up space for Antetokounmpo?
Even so, you have to wait two years for Antetokounmpo to level up successfully before it will be useful!
The Warriors are the defending champions, a championship team for four consecutive years. Who can give Antetokounmpo time to practice and grow?
Antetokounmpo cannot be selected, and it is useless if he is selected. The others are basically garbage, so Deng just sold all the first-round picks!
Although it is possible to exchange this year's first-round pick for later draft picks, Deng Fang did not do so.
The days ahead will be difficult for the Warriors, and they can't just pick anyone casually. It's useless to use draft picks, so why bother!
Comparatively speaking, the money you get is quite affordable!
It is precisely for this reason that Deng Fang went on vacation early!
A few days after the draft ended, the 2013 summer trade market began.
This year's summer trade is very important for the Warriors!
