"Holy shit, is the inertia of history that strong?" At this time, Li Hao was watching the live broadcast of the 2015 lottery with Kobe, LaVine, and Wiggins.
The Lakers' draft pick has not changed, and they still got the second pick this year. Because of Li Hao, the Lakers have 4 more wins than before. It stands to reason that these four wins should have an impact on the lottery.
But probability is not always certain, not to mention the inertia that can compete with wings.
"Congratulations, congratulations," Wiggins and LaVine congratulated Li Hao and Kobe.
The Timberwolves won the first No. 1 pick in team history with the league's worst record. This is also the first time in the past ten years that the league's worst player has won the No. 1 pick.
The Lakers' picks have not changed, and there will naturally be no changes in the subsequent picks. Although Li Hao's only memory of the subsequent picks is that the Suns still got the No. 13 pick.
Speaking of this, Booker came to the Lakers for a trial two days ago. After the trial, Holtz brought people to Li Hao, not to meet Li Hao, but to meet Kobe.
Booker was still very young at this time, and seeing Kobe's excited expression was, well, just like LaVine seeing Kobe for the first time.
Kobe naturally encouraged his disciples, but it was a pity that Kobe had not fully recovered, otherwise he would have to drag Booker into a duel.
Booker didn't stay long. Although Booker was in the lottery, those who should try out still had to try out, especially after the lottery results came out.
If possible, Booker would definitely want to join the Lakers and follow his idol on the same team, just like LaVine. However, after the lottery results came out, it was impossible for Booker to join the Lakers because the Lakers would not sign Booker with the second pick.
Perhaps looking at Booker from a future perspective is undoubtedly the best choice in the lottery besides Towns. Kobe will have his last season next, and Booker can perfectly take over after he retires.
Then the Lakers will add a good player at the center or power forward position, and then the Lakers will have the strength to compete with the Warriors.
But that's from a future perspective. Looking at the present, Booker is a young player with good talent, and he is far from lacking the strength and talent to enter the top three.
If he performed better in college and his pick would have been closer to the top, then it might be useful for Li Hao to mention it, but under the current situation, the Lakers will definitely not listen to Li Hao.
This would be proven in the near future. A few days after the draft lottery results came out, Li Hao and Kobe went to meet with Kupchak and president Jim Buss.
During this meeting, Li Hao talked with the president and general manager about the upcoming draft, and Li Hao recommended Booker, Turner and Powell.
The Lakers have three draft picks this year. They were originally traded to the Suns for protection. After the second pick was drawn, the pick returned to the Lakers. Then it was the Rockets' first-round pick traded by Jeremy Lin last summer, the No. 27 pick in the first round. Finally, there is the No. 34 pick in the second round.

"Don't worry, I washed myself for half an hour last night, and sprayed perfume before going out today. You don't want me to spray it again?" O'Neill said, taking out a bottle of perfume from his suit pocket.
At the moment, O'Neal is dressed a little strangely. His upper body is in a suit and leather shoes, and his lower body is in baggy basketball shorts, and they are the Lakers version.
"Damn" Buckley cursed secretly.
"By the way~~~In order to witness this piece of history, I also invited a guest," O'Neal continued, ignoring Barkley and Kenny Smith.
"No~~~ I don't want to see you now." When Li Hao walked out from the backstage, Buckley jumped up.
"Actually, I don't want to come, but I can't help it. I received a big gift from Shaq." With that, Li Hao came to Barkley and hugged him.
"Lee, did you know that Shaq wanted to give you a sports car so you were so desperate?" Kenny Smith took the opportunity to ask.
"Of course not. I only received Shaq's gift after the league announced the best rookie. To be honest, I was shocked." O'Neal gave Li Hao a sports car. Now the whole world probably knows about it. At first, Barkley and Ken Nismith also condemned O'Neal.
"I swear, I will never bet on Chinese players again," Barkley said.
"Guys, is it time to honor the bet?" O'Neal said as he stood up and turned his back to the camera, then pulled up his basketball shorts, revealing two big, curvy and black buttocks.
"Damn~~~" Barkley cursed secretly, and then reluctantly approached O'Neal, along with Barkley and Kenny Smith.
"Oh oh oh~~~" Seeing the two people getting closer and closer to O'Neal's buttocks, there were waves of screams in the studio.
Wave~wave~
In the end, with the entire United States watching, the two fulfilled their bet and gave O'Neal a quick kiss on his butt.
After the kiss, the two quickly picked up the water and rinsed their mouths with the water they had prepared. While creating topics and ratings, they also inserted an advertisement. This wave of TNT made a lot of money.
Barkley and Kenny Smith kissing O'Neal's butt created TNT's highest ratings this year.
"Hahahaha" While Barkley and Kenny Smith were busy gargling, O'Neal was laughing and patting his butt.
Well, Li Hao has lost his sight. If it's a beautiful woman's butt, Li Hao won't mind, but no normal man would be interested in O'Neal's butt.
…………………………………………………….
"Li, who are you more optimistic about in the finals that will start soon?" After a short period of adjustment, the three of them sat down again and changed the topic to the upcoming finals.
"I have a good relationship with Stephen and LeBron." Li Hao said that this question was a bit offending.
"What does this have to do with it? I have a very good relationship with them," O'Neal said immediately.
"Yeah, Shaq sent a Rolls-Royce Phantom to LeBron." Kenny Smith was obviously sowing discord.
The car O'Neal gave to James was worth US$400,000, but the 2015 Ferrari California given to Li Hao was only US$250,000.
"Kenny, the price of a gift doesn't matter, it's the thought." Li Hao said he didn't care.
"I hope someone can give me a gift worth hundreds of thousands of dollars," Barkley added.
"Guys, be professional, we are discussing the finals now" O'Neal brought the topic back on track.
"So Li, who do you like?" Okay, back to the original question.
"I understand, if I don't say something today, you won't let me go," Li Hao said, looking at the three of them.
"Yes," the three admitted in a bachelor's manner.
"I choose the Warriors. I think the Warriors will win this year's championship with a score of 4:2." Li Hao was ready to show off.
