t after the draft picks were determined, Nelson has been committed to negotiating with all parties in order to obtain the draft rights in the hands of the other party.
The objects of negotiation are also constantly changing with the changes in Durant’s draft situation.
Until he finally learned that the Cavaliers were interested in Durant, Nelson made a desperate move and paid the price of Baron Davis in exchange for the No. 1 pick.
This also shows that in Nelson’s eyes, Durant’s upper limit will be much higher than Baron Davis.
Durant gradually recovered from his dazed state and was replaced by excitement.
He is the number one pick!
That kind of surprise filled his mind.
As for whether to go to Cleveland or Oakland, it no longer matters to him.
It doesn’t matter where he goes, the most important thing is that he is the top pick!
Durant walked up happily, but there were bursts of boos in the arena.
The loudest boos came from Warriors fans.
They don’t want Durant!
What’s the use of a 2.08-meter big player who can only shoot and couldn’t even bench press 84kg during the trial? !
Don’t think the fans’ views are extreme. Durant played inside in high school and even in college throughout history.
Without open eyes, no one thinks he can play small forward or even shooting guard.
In the Warriors’ draft cabin, the management was celebrating for their selection of Durant, but Warriors fans were booing the person they were celebrating.
This scene seemed a bit joyful.
The boos didn’t stop until Durant came on stage to take a photo with Stern.
And in fact, it wasn’t just Warriors fans who booed.
In the eyes of most fans, Durant is not worthy of the No. 1 pick.
Prior to this, Durant was far inferior to James and Howard, who also became the top picks in high school, in both strength and fame.
Or in other words, why should an insider who can’t even bench press 84kg be selected as the top pick?
Durant’s face also became very ugly.
Just like the personality differences between Tracy McGrady and Kobe, Durant and James are also opposites in personality.
James has a high emotional intelligence and is very tactful in his dealings with others;
Durant has a low emotional intelligence and will get angry if he doesn’t like it and act if he doesn’t accept it.
After taking a photo with Stern and leaving the stage to continue the interview, Durant said directly:
“I will let everyone know that I am worthy of this No. 1 pick!”
Of course, Durant’s words did not change the fans’ opinion of him. view.
On the contrary, after he said this, many fans put him and Bogut in the same category.
After all, Bogut just demonstrated to the fans last season what “playing with your mouth” means.
At first glance, Durant’s way of speaking is not much different from Bogut’s.
The Warriors intercepted Durant, and the Cavaliers were in the most chaos at this time.
Because after the Warriors have finished selecting, they will be next!
During the five minutes of consideration, the Cavaliers’ management even
