Bruce also knew that Larry Tanebaum would definitely not agree with him, but what's the use? Whether he has the second pick or the number one pick, he won’t let Tim Duncan get in. For the Han, Bruce would definitely choose Tim Duncan if he fell, but he would trade it. Bruce didn't want to have a chance to become bald in the future.

Although Tim Duncan will definitely not be the second pick, but it’s okay. Now Bruce is basically no one. Because Chauncey Billups must be reserved for the Sonics, so right This year's draft does not care at all.

As for Larry Tanebaum who wants to take the fourth pick in the first round of this year to continue the original trade with Bruce, it must be impossible. Why trade without a player he cares about?

"Mr. Larry, I can only give this plan now. If you think it is suitable, let's continue talking. If it is not suitable, let's do it, okay?! I don't want to waste everyone's time, you It is obviously impossible to take the fourth pick and still want to trade with the previous plan. I am not a fool. I can't choose the person I want with the fourth pick!" Bruce said deliberately.

He insisted that Larry Tanebaum could not be traded for the second place pick. Nonsense, for example, if the Celtics got the second place pick, would you say if they would change with you? They would have taken the second place pick + other chips to pursue. When Tim Duncan is there, there is still time to care for the Raptors!

Besides, the Raptors don’t have any bargaining chips to give to the other side, right? Players are selected for expansion. All teams in the league don’t go. If there is a little value, then only the fourth pick + other years’ firsts. The round lottery will do.

Bruce is also convinced that the Raptors will not dare to give picks for the next two years in 1998-99, because the first three years of the Raptors’ team formation are the most important. Once the Toronto fans see no hope, they will go to the arena. As for the ball, I traded all the draft picks in the next few years. I don’t know how many years I will wait for it to ease off. Larry Tanebaum is not a fool, and he won’t run out of his hands for the original trade with Bruce. All the cards.

Larry Tanebaum is really uncomfortable at the moment. It is not that Bruce saw the Raptors decline and lowered the bargaining chip. On the contrary, if Bruce’s trading plan is implemented, he will still barely lose. What really makes him worry is Bruce is unwilling to take out the Golden State Warriors' unprotected first-round signing in 1998, which is infuriating.

We must know that the current situation of the Golden State Warriors is really not very good. Maybe next year’s Golden State Warriors’ first-round pick may be the top three. In this case, the Raptors will have a chance to use the Golden State Warriors. Vince Carter was selected in the first round of unprotected picks in 1998.

But now it’s okay. Bruce will never trade the Golden State Warriors’ unprotected first-round signing in 1998. That means the Raptors can only use their own pick to select one of the players next year. You must know that next year’s draft is big. Years, it’s not as easy to get a lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery lottery sign next year.

For example, 1996 was also the draft year of the draft. The lottery lottery that year was also very valuable. So what price does such a valuable lottery lottery need to be traded? It can only get the All-Star level. In the past, the Lakers could only trade Vlad Divac, an All-Star player, and the Hornets to get Kobe, so the 98 lottery pick is not so good. Yes, you have to get some blood, but what price or all-star players will the Raptors have next year? Obviously no more, which is why Larry Tanebaum is very upset.

"Bruce is so good. You use Steve Nash + the Golden State Warriors' unprotected first-round pick in 1998 and the Raptors trade's first unprotected pick in 2003. What do you think? We still follow the previous agreement. In 2002, the Raptors secretly made a rotten appearance to ensure that you have a chance to get the top three in the 2003 draft!" Larry Tannenbaum continued to ask without giving up.

In 2002, our Raptors' regular season results were the worst in the league, so no matter how the league draws, the first round of 2003 will be at least the fourth pick, not to mention that it is possible to draw the number one lottery. This is the head office. .

"NONONO, I will not take out the Golden State Warriors' unprotected first-round signing in 1998. Mr. Larry, you also know that with the potential shown by Steve now plus the Dallas Mavericks' 99 first-round signing There is nothing wrong with changing your first round pick for the Raptors in 2003."

"Don’t think I’m a fool. Don’t I know the current situation of the Golden State Warriors? Our trading plan included your second pick this year. Now you don’t have any second pick this year. So why am I still? To trade the Golden State Warriors' unprotected first-round pick in 1998, Mr. Larry, don't treat me as a fool." Bruce laughed angrily.

Not to mention that Larry Tanebaum is not the king of mergers and acquisitions in Canada. He has a unique vision. It is a pity that he met Bruce, a pervert who knows the NBA's history for 20 years. So it must be impossible to rob Bruce!

Larry Tanebaum knows that Bruce also understands the importance of the Golden State Warriors' unprotected first-round pick in 1998, but he doesn’t want to give up easily. What should we do? Now it’s Larry Tane’s turn. Baum began to think of a solution.

Bruce is not in a hurry, anyway, it was someone who called, and the long-distance call charges must be higher on his side than here. Wait slowly, depending on how the other party makes the move.

After waiting for a while, Larry Tanebaum finally thought of a solution.

"Is it true that the Raptors will be able to trade to the Golden State Warriors' unprotected first-round pick for the first round of 1998 when the Raptors take out this year's second-round pick?!" Larry Tannbaum asked.

"Yes, as long as you can trade to get the second pick, then I will still trade with your Raptors as originally planned, but Mr. Larry, do you really have the ability to trade to get the second pick?!" Bruce smiled sinisterly.

It’s really not that Bruce looks down on Larry Tanebaum. This year’s top three picks are not the team that is willing to trade. Not to mention the bottom-most Spurs in the Western Conference. People must be rushing to Tim Duncan. Yes, and the last Celtics in the East are actually the same. They have absolutely no chance of winning the No. 1 lottery. You "Cardinal" Arnold Auerbach like this against Stern, the president of the league. Well, it's also a face-to-face person, how can you get what you want, so the Celtics can basically be sure that it is either the second pick or the pick.

And although this year’s draft was not as talented as last year, there are still many high-quality hot candidates, such as Tim Duncan, Keith Van Horn, Chauncey Billups, Antonio Daniels, Ron Mercer and other players are all eligible to compete for the top three positions, so the team that draws the top three this year may not sell this favor to the Raptors. After all, these high-quality players are not as gold as the 96 How weak the generation is.
