The mock draft was over.
Out of 126 players, 36 were still brutally eliminated, receiving commemorative gifts from the production team.
The 30 teams set off the next day, heading to their respective home cities.
Durant, still carrying his backpack, boarded the production team's bus and headed to Safford with DeRozan's team.
Although the city of Safford was small, it had an airport. It was just a tiny one, and since Phoenix was only 200 kilometers from Safford, driving was much more convenient.
They were all around the same age, so there wasn't much of a barrier between them. With Harden acting as a link, they all hit it off easily.
DeRozan had successfully drafted his good buddy, Holidays. For his last spot, he chose Blake Griffin, a high school freshman valued at $6 million.
It filled up his salary cap perfectly.
Griffin was born in '89 and was tall and sturdy. He also had an older brother who attended the same high school.
