Outside the gate of Oracle Arena, Warriors general manager Miles, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Sun Yi arriving and immediately greeted him.
"Sun, I'm very sorry to disturb your vacation, and I'd like you to come here specially." Miles said first.
"Mr. Bob, what you said is serious. It's nothing troublesome. I happen to have free time, so coming to listen is a very good choice." Sun Yi replied politely.
After some pleasantries, Sun Yi and Miles entered the arena and walked towards the conference room.
After entering the conference room, Sun Yi exchanged a few words with team owner Lacob and others before getting into the topic of the meeting.
A few days ago, team owner Lacob, team chief consultant Jerry West and team general manager Myers went to New York to watch this year's joint trial.
Since Kyrie Irving had booked the No. 1 pick in advance, he did not come to participate in the joint trial training.
Other potential new stars Derrick Williams, Kanter and others performed quite well and were not surprising.
It can be said that this joint trial training is difficult to describe.
Therefore, the scouts and management personnel of each team who came to inspect were not optimistic about the talents and abilities of this year's players.
Klay Thompson, who was favored by the Warriors' top brass, had a disastrous performance in the joint workouts.
This made team owner Lacob once doubt Jerry West's selection vision.
That's why he held an impromptu internal meeting to further discuss and improve the draft plan.
"Everyone here is a professional, and you must know more than a layman like me. If there are any problems with my opinions, please don't hesitate and please correct me boldly!"
After hearing this, the Warriors' top brass certainly couldn't go against the boss and waited patiently for Lacob's next words.
"Experts in the industry agree that this year will be a weak year for the draft, and there will be very few potential new stars worth cultivating. My suggestion is to trade the draft picks in your hands in exchange for draft picks in the next few years."
"The second suggestion is to look for deals upwards and try to get the top five picks. Those big guys have pretty good talents. Don't worry about spending money. I'm not short of money."
Lacob generously gave his advice.
He believes that the team already has Sun Yi and Curry, and only needs an insider with All-Star level.
If it cannot be traded in the free market, then it is not impossible for the team to train it on its own.
Lacob is keen on players who are extremely talented at first glance, and has never been very interested in players with mediocre talents like Clay.
"Qiao, thank you very much for your suggestion. We will consider it carefully. As for the selection plan you mentioned, we will refer to it, but the primary target is still that child."
Seeing the strange expression on his boss's face, Jerry West immediately explained: "That kid may have performed abnormally on the spot. Believe me, this is not his true level. I have a close relationship with his father and know the specific strength of this kid." , and this selection goal was also formulated by Sun and I."
Lacob's expression improved when he heard that Sun Yi was involved.
Now Sun Yi is a real money-spinner, and no one would mind having too much money. Lacob definitely doesn't want to create a gap with Sun Yi on this trivial matter, and will even meet all Sun Yi's requests.
"Jerry, let everything be discussed between you and Sun." Lacob stopped gesticulating and listened quietly.
Jerry West smiled meaningfully when he saw the boss' understanding, and then discussed and improved the draft plan with the team's senior management and coaching staff.
As the Warriors began to formulate their draft plans, the finals were still in full swing.
After the Heat returned home with a total score of 0-2, the Big Three broke out collectively and snatched a hard-won victory from the Mavericks.
Just when fans thought the Heat had found a way to win, the Mavericks responded powerfully with practical actions.
In Game 4 of the Finals, Nowitzki couldn't get out of the firing line. At the critical moment, he overpowered Haslem and scored the winning layup, helping the team narrowly defeat the Heat and get the match point with a total score of 3-1.
After the game, the trend on the Internet immediately changed, and almost all of them were posts criticizing James.
James's anti-fans came out en masse and posted posts mocking James for not being able to win the championship even if he joined the team.
As long as the Heat fail to win the championship, then their season will be a failure.
…
On June 10, the Mavericks returned to their home court and defeated the Heat 112-103. They defeated their opponents 4-1 with a total score of 4-1 and won the championship.
Nowitzki averaged 28.4 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists in the Finals, and undoubtedly won the 10-11 Finals MVP.
Dayao got his wish and won the first championship in his career as the main player.
At this point, the 2010-2011 season has come to a perfect end.
…
After the heat of the Finals has subsided, the heat of the upcoming draft has heated up sharply.
Leading up to the draft, the Warriors made a few small, unremarkable trades.
First, the Warriors sent Biedrins to the Cavaliers in exchange for Whiteside and a 2012 second-round pick.
Secondly, the team broke down during the negotiation to renew Morrow's contract, which made both parties unhappy, so they could only conduct a deal on a sign-and-trade basis.
After Sun Yi learned about the incident, he called Moro to find out the situation.
If there are just some details that can't be agreed upon, he can still make adjustments.
But when Sun Yi learned that it was a salary issue, there was nothing he could do.
It is impossible to persuade others to reduce their salary and renew their contracts with sincere words, while you get a high salary!
Regarding Moro's departure, Sun Yi can only express his sincere blessings.
After the Warriors executives saw Sun Yi's statement, they immediately found a new home for Morrow and quickly completed the deal.
The Warriors sent Morrow and Radmanovic to the Digital People in exchange for Marlis Speights and a 2014 second-round draft pick.
Although the Warriors suffered a bit from this deal, Sun Yi is still happy to see the results after the digital team's improved strength can cause trouble for the Heat.
Finally, the Warriors renewed veterans Shane Battier and Brewer.
After this wave of trade turmoil ended, the Warriors' top brass reinvested their energy into the upcoming draft.
…
The draft will be held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
This is also the last NBA draft for the New Jersey Nets.
After the 2011-12 season, the team will relocate to Brooklyn, New York and be renamed the Brooklyn Nets.
After a while, the draft officially began.
David Stern walked to the center of the stage with a smile and steady steps, and was greeted by boos from the fans.
Stern is used to this kind of scene, and he would still feel uncomfortable if the fans didn't boo him.
After arriving at the center of the stage, Stern delivered the customary opening remarks, then took the envelope from the staff and opened it to announce the result.
