Five "unilateral" deals were reached on the day of the draft.

Due to the timeliness and unpredictability, draft day is the most important and exciting day on the schedule of major events. Kevin costner even made a movie about it.

On NBA draft day, every team is deeply involved, making every decision look thoughtful.

However, certain variables-such as Ran Ran, a rising star in Ran Ran-will make some team managers make some dramatic decisions.

Who can forget that danny ainge, the director of basketball operations of Boston Celtics, tried to trade Justin Winslow's signing rights with four first-round draft picks, but failed? If Detroit Pistons or Charlotte Hornets agreed, what would the lineup of the two teams look like now?

It only takes a moment to complete such a transaction that can determine the strength of the team lineup. Many transactions were completed on the day of the draft. The following are important draft day transactions in the NBA.

Seattle supersonics traded Pippen to Chicago Bulls (1987).

Seattle supersonics lost to Chicago Bulls in NBA Finals 1996. They are losers on the court, but the seeds of failure were planted 10 years ago. At that time, they traded the No.5 draft in the first round to the Bulls at 1987, got the No.8 draft, and selected Alden Bolinis, a second-round draft pick selected Seval-Lester-Gray, a first-round draft swap right of 1989.

Chicago chose Pippen, the No.5 player, who became one of the best players in history and the perfect partner for Michael Jordan. Bolines is just a qualified center at the SuperSonics. Pippen was inducted into the Hall of Fame on 20 10.

There are other small factors considered in this deal, but they are not as good as Pippen. In the six finals against the Sonics, he averaged 15.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.3 steals 1.3 blocks per game.

At that time, Bolines had left the Supersonic, and he was sent to the Los Angeles Clippers. He also traded Ben Oyite Benjamin for a number of draft picks, and finally packed Benjamin and doug christie and sent them to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for sam perkins. Although Perkins played a great role in the supersonic array, he did not play well in the finals of 1996, with a shooting percentage of only 37.7% and a shooting percentage of only 23.5%.

If Pippen was on the same team as shawn kemp and gary payton, and Jordan was never with him, what would be the result of the series?

The Hornets traded Kobe to the Lakers (1996).

1996, the Charlotte Hornets selected Kobe Bryant, who was only 17 years old and graduated from Raul Merion High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with the draft pick of 13.

Kobe Bryant is about to start his career in the Hall of Fame. He will win five NBA championship trophies (including two finals MVP). In his career, 18 times was selected as an all-star and 12 times as the best defensive team. The most valuable player in the regular season in 2007-08 won the Olympic gold medal. At present, he ranks fourth in the NBA total score list, second only to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, karl malone and LeBron James.

His career didn't start with the Hornets. The Hornets made an incomprehensible decision to trade Kobe Bryant's signing rights for center Vlade Divac, and Divac only played for them for two years.

"That draft made many people very excited. Charlotte people didn't really want to complete the transaction at that time." Mitch Kupchak, then the general manager of the Hornets, told Rick Bonaire of Charlotte Observer, "At that time, both Vlad (threatening to retire) and the pressure from the team made the deal very hanging."

However, history remembers that Jerry West, then the general manager of the Lakers, and Arne Trom, Kobe's agent, tried their best to make Kobe appear in the public eye as little as possible during a series of trainings. The two reached an understanding that if other teams didn't have much chance to see Kobe, they wouldn't use the lottery to choose this 17-year-old player.

In fact, on 20 15, Kobe told Baxter Holmes of ESPN that he was very excited to play for David Cowens at first, but a conversation with the Hornets coach changed his mind.

"The Hornets never wanted me. Cowans told me he didn't want me. For me, I have no problem playing football there. " Bryant said, but cowans later refuted this statement. "They already have several guards and small forwards, so it seems that I won't get any playing time."

Was it this day that pushed Kobe onto the road of "black mamba", or was it all Kobe's own imagination, just like Michael Jordan's documentary "The Last Dance" released on ESPN, imagining a story of "Well played, Mike"? In any case, this transaction is one of the worst draft day transactions in NBA history.

Milwaukee Bucks traded Dirk Nowitzki to Dallas Mavericks (1998).

Dallas Mavericks not only took a fancy to a potential new star who will be one of the best players in 2 1 century on the day of the draft, but also successfully traded him.

1998, Dallas will use the sixth pick to select the big tractor of the Wolverine Team in Michigan, and trade him to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for two draft picks. They selected one of them as Notre Dame striker Pat Garrity and the other as German striker dirk nowitzki.

Trela only played for Bucks for two seasons, averaging 13.3 minutes, 4.5 points and 3.2 rebounds. Then it was traded to the Cavaliers in June 2000.

Nowitzki was already a star in Germany at that time, but people also have reason to question what role he can play in the NBA. He turned down invitations from several American universities and chose to enter the NBA directly, which made some teams flinch. In the NBA, the overseas scouting system is not as perfect as it is now, so it is difficult for many teams to determine how such an unconventional seven-foot three-pointer can adapt to the NBA.

Of course, his career has proved everything.

The Pacers traded Leonard for the Spurs for george hill (20 1 1).

It seems wise to trade a player that Greg Popovich likes, but the high chips given by the Spurs should let the Pacers have a good look at the deal. San Antonio found a baby, that is, Cowie Leonard with 20 1 1 and 15 overall.

Soon, the whole alliance also discovered this.

Just three seasons after george hill was traded to Leonard, Davis Bertain (42nd overall) and Roebeck, Leonard became the best defensive team in the NBA for the first time and won the MVP in the finals.

Soon, Leonard became an All-Star regular, and won the Best Defensive Player Award in 20/KOOC-0/4-/KOOC-0/5 and 20/KOOC-0/5-/KOOC-0/6 seasons after winning FMVP.

The 28-year-old player has reason to be the best player on the planet. He ranks fourth in the real positive and negative value of ESPN and fifth in the efficiency value. Even if he is not the strongest offensive and defensive player on the court, he is close to this standard.

As for Hill, his performance is quite satisfactory. His PER is almost the league average (his career PER is 15. 1, while the league average is 15.0). During his five years in Indiana, his performance was very stable, but he was never regarded as a star player.

Leonard's position as president of basketball when he retired was almost unshakable, and the Indians really wanted to cry in this disastrous transaction.

Memphis Grizzlies traded kevin love to Minnesota Timberwolves (2008).

Although the exchange of kevin love and OJ Mayo between Grizzlies and Timberwolves was beneficial to both sides, the result was totally one-sided.

In 2008, Grizzlies traded No.5 draft pick (selected Love) with Mike Miller, Brian Cardina and jason collins to the Timberwolves, in exchange for No.3 draft pick (selected Mayo), Anthony Walker, Marco Jaritch and greg buckner.

Love and Mayo are both super rookies, one is a battle-hardened power forward and the other is a dynamic shooting guard. Both of them have good rookie seasons, but their career trajectories are completely different.

Love became one of the best players in the Timberwolves' history. During his six years, he averaged 19.2 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. He successfully controlled his figure, lost weight and developed a stable long-range shot. In his rookie season, he only hit two three-pointers, but in the sixth year of his career, this number has increased to 190.

In 20 14, he was sent to Cleveland Cavaliers to help the Cavaliers reach the finals for four consecutive years and win the championship in 20 16.

Mayo's rookie season averages 18.5 points, the highest in his career. Since then, his eating habits and work enthusiasm have gradually disappeared.

After only playing for the Grizzlies for four years, Mayo was traded to Dallas Mavericks and Milwaukee Bucks. 20 16 was suspended by the NBA for violating the NBA drug prohibition rules, and then he admitted to smoking marijuana and abusing prescription painkillers.
