Beijing time on November 5th, Green Army forward Tatum participated in Teague's podcast and talked about some of his experiences in the draft process. He even revealed that he wanted to apply for a trade to leave the Green Army.
Tatum was the third overall pick in 2017. Shortly after he was selected, the Green Army signed a multi-year contract with Hayward. When he heard the news of Hayward's signing, Tatum was very worried that he wouldn't be able to get playing time, and even asked him to consider applying for a trade.
"After I was drafted, Gordon Hayward signed with the Celtics. I called my agent at the time and said I wanted to be traded." His agent advised Tatum to stay calm and patient. . "He said you're on a great team and they can teach you how to play right away," Tatum recalled. "I just wanted to play right away. I didn't want to be picked off the bench and not start. "
It was the agent's persuasion that made Tatum give up the idea of leaving the team through trade, patiently integrate into the team, and eventually became a cornerstone player of the Boston Celtics and one of the most dazzling stars in the league. Tatum averaged 30.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game this season, leading the Celtics to a 6-1 start. Last season, Tatum and Brown led the team to win the 18th NBA championship in team history.
In this podcast, Tatum also said that he has been a fan of Kobe since he was a child and has always wanted to play for the Lakers . However, the Lakers never worked out with Tatum during that draft. The Green Army traded the No. 1 pick with 76 player in exchange for the No. 3 pick. After two trials with Tatum, they decided to choose him. Tatum also wanted to play in the Suns, and the Suns also gave him a tryout. Tatum even went to find a house locally. The Suns hold the No. 4 pick.
In the end, the 76ers selected Fultz with the No. 1 pick, the Lakers selected Lonzo Ball with the No. 2 pick, the Celtics selected Tatum with the No. 3 pick, and the Suns selected Josh Jackson with the No. 4 pick. There is no doubt that Tatum eventually became the brightest star among them.
