The high-profile NBA Draft ended today. Although all the media have determined the top three candidates early, but the final order is unexpected by everyone, the Magic team to the Rockets made a small joke, in the Magic team with the title of the team, there was no sign of the choice of Bancello, but to choose the big hit Jabari Smith. And Bancello has always been the rocket team's chosen target.
However, the final result was diametrically opposed, the Magic team chose Bancello with a sign, and they did not mind The strange disease of Bancello. The Thunder, who have a top-notch pick, are steady, choosing Chet Homegren, who has already determined the position of the list, and the Rockets chose Jabari Smith. Judging from the expressions of the players, it is also possible to know how well the Magic team's previous secrecy work has been done. Smith's unhappiness in falling to third place is enough to show that he is very disappointed that he did not become the top spot.
Another focus of the draft is the trade of various teams, but not many big players are traded today. Among them is the Blazers. The Blazers have the No. 7 pick at this year's NBA draft, and according to previous reports, various media outlets have speculated that the Blazers are likely to trade the No. 7 sign on the day of the draft to add helpers to Lillard's side.
However, the Blazers directly chose Sheldon Sharp with their No. 7 pick. That doesn't work for Lillard, who aspires to be a champion, who can never expect a rookie to help you reach the championship, let alone in the Wild West. Maybe the Trail Blazers' management has figured out their future direction, and now they're just waiting for news.
The Blazers recently traded the young striker Grant, who could have grown into a second-in-command around Lillard and replaced former CJ McClam. The media also speculated that the next Blazers will continue to strengthen through trades to help the Blazers quickly complete the reconstruction. But today's results, it seems that they are about to change direction, they did not follow the original news, and the Raptors completed the No. 7 deal for Anunoby.
To some extent, the Blazers now prefer Lillard to apply for a trade to help him go to other teams to attack the championship, after all, with the strength of the Blazers now, it is basically impossible to break through in the current Westworld, knowing that the Lakers with James and thick eyebrows have not been able to score the playoffs last season.
Maybe it's time for Lillard to apply for a trade, and to stick with it doesn't make sense to him and the Blazers. He can fully apply for a trade, and the Lakers also have the opportunity to complete such a deal, they can send out the main transaction content of Wei Shao to help the Blazers quickly complete the rebuild, after all, the current Wei Shao only has one year of contract left. The Trail Blazers can also help the young people on the team get more opportunities to exercise. Lillard has a higher exposure around James, and his style can survive around The Elder James. Maybe it's really time to leave.
