Chapter 26: Misaligned Match.*
"Why did the Cavaliers pick him?"
"He's a LeBron hater... well, not exactly, but people think so because of the things he posted on social media."
Although he was familiar with the BOAT quotes and gained a lot of haters because of them, he never imagined playing alongside him (LeBron).
He didn't want to end up like Dennis Schröder, catching the ball with seconds left, making a shot, and still getting blamed.
"I didn't think they'd pick you either," Thomas, while not understanding everything, could guess from his shocked expression.
"Can I request a trade?" Han Sen was still trying to hold it together.
"Your draft position was much higher than expected," Thomas shook his head.
His meaning was clear. A player projected to go early in the second round, even with a draft promise, would be lucky to go late in the first round. Yet, Hansen was picked mid-first round, almost at the lottery. Other teams wouldn't be interested in trading for him now.
God, what kind of random matchmaking is this?
Han Sen's current expression was like being transported to the world of Marvel, only to find himself in the camp of Thanos.
"I remember when you were training with Orlando, the Cavaliers happened to be familiarizing themselves with the gym," Thomas found the only connection between Hansen and the Cavaliers.
