Chapter 587: Chapter 237: Let Their Fans Take a Good Look at What They Are Like Privately_3

Erin added, "Are you saying that if Tyreke wasn’t with the Kings, he would have a better future?"

Su Wan replied, "Yes!"

With the fifth pick in the first round, the Forest Wolf chose "Golden Boy" Rubio. Su Wan said, "The Forest Wolf is squandering the legacy that Kevin Garnett left for this team!"

Erin understood his implication, "So you think they had a better choice available at that spot?"

"Stephen Curry!" Su Wan announced his choice.

Then for the sixth pick in the first round, the Forest Wolf actually chose Stephen Curry.

This left Su Wan stunned.

How could this happen?

How could the Forest Wolf choose Stephen Curry?

He clearly remembered that the Forest Wolf’s second guard choice was Johnny Flynn!

Could it be because he had said Stephen Curry would become a regular season MVP?

That’s not right...

Many of his predictions hadn’t been proven right!

The camera then went to Stephen Curry.

His face, too, was full of shock and disbelief.

Then...

It was despair!

Dell Curry’s expression also wasn’t very good.

He had wanted his son to go to New York.

Even recently, they had been squabbling with the management of the Golden State Warriors, uttering many threats.

But the Warriors’ management was unmoved and insisted on choosing Stephen Curry.

Who would have thought the Forest Wolf would make their move first?

Curry’s expression showed no joy or sorrow, until he put on the hat, walked onto the stage, and shook hands with David Stern for a photo. Only then did he manage to squeeze out a reluctant smile.

He couldn’t help but think to himself:

It would have been better to go to Golden State!

The Golden State Warriors had been slow to submit their pick from backstage, Su Wan knew, because they had not anticipated the Forest Wolf picking Stephen Curry. Eventually, they made their second choice:

Brandon Jennings!

The youngest NBA player ever to score "50 points" ended up with the Golden State Warriors.

But there was a problem...

The game he scored 55 points in was against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Now that he was on the Warriors, could he still score 50 points in a single game during his rookie season?

After Jennings left the stage, with the eighth pick in the first round, the New York Knicks made their selection, choosing Johnny Flynn, who was initially picked by the Forest Wolf.

Flynn was excited.

Though his pick was lower, being in the big city of New York would definitely not diminish his exposure.

But right after he finished his photo with David Stern,

A trade notification appeared on the big screen:

The Forest Wolf traded the sixth pick, Stephen Curry, in a downward trade for the eighth pick, Johnny Flynn, and $500,000 in cash.

That meant...

Big Apple City got Stephen Curry!

Flynn’s previously cheerful expression immediately became less cheerful, and during his media interview, he lethargically said, "That’s the NBA!"

As for Stephen Curry, his expression instantly turned from "cloudy to clear!"

The New York Media immediately reported the reason the Knicks had traded up to get Stephen Curry, "It’s because Su Wan had high hopes for the rookie; what other reason is there?"

These real-time reports also made their way to "Su Wan’s Predictions" studio. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Erin, during a commercial break, turned to Su Wan and asked, "Should we cue it up?"

Su Wan thought about it but decided against it.

The Pacers were about to enter a tumultuous period, and stirring things up at this juncture would only bring trouble upon himself later on. Why bother?

Erin also obediently said "Oh," pretending not to have seen the real-time news from the New York Media, and did not raise the matter.

This drove the New York Media crazy, as they wanted to let Su Wan know just how much New York valued his word.

He had said that James Harden and Stephen Curry could become regular season MVPs in the future, and they quickly snatched one of them, Stephen Curry, even trading up to seal the deal. If Su Wan didn’t know about it, wouldn’t all their efforts be in vain?

Frankly, they didn’t care about whom the New York Knicks had chosen over the past two years.

Whatever the case, no one would become the next Su Wan.

Their focus was solely on Su Wan now, trying every possible way to make Su Wan notice how much New York valued him.

Soon after, Su Wan saw several familiar names ascend the stage, including:

"How We Got You," Zhu Holiday, "LeBron Fermented Rice Pudding" Jeff Teague, "The Man Who Made Westbrook Sit on the Bench at UCLA," Darren Collison.

Collison, this "godly figure," had also done something incredible:

He was a devoted follower of a "cult," which dictated that men over thirty should enjoy life and no longer work, so Collison, at his peak, refused a multi-million-dollar annual salary and retired directly.

When Su Wan had learned of this news before crossing over, he was completely dumbfounded.

All you can say is...

That’s the NBA!

Any bizarre thing could happen here.

This place is:

The birthplace of oddities!

The Pacers had traded away both their first and second-round picks this year.

Choosing to stay and steer the team back on track was one of the reasons Su Wan made that decision.

Last year’s Pacers not only had an internal crisis but, more critically, having traded their draft rights, had no new players to replenish the team’s roster, which is a very challenging situation for any team.
