Because of an acquaintance who visited the door, did you have a personal eye for Marc Gasol?

The elder Nelson's emphasis on Marc Gasol surprised Yes.

Ever since falling out with Webb back then, Nelson Sr. has been picking and choosing personalities when it comes to choosing players.

In this SuperSonics draft, Presti is more optimistic about Durant, because Durant's talent is the better one.

Nelson Sr. valued Noah more.

Nelson Sr. also thinks that Durant's talent is better and that his future achievements in the NBA may be even higher.

But Nelson Sr. doesn't really like Durant's somewhat headstrong and overly sensitive personality.

Durant always reminded Nelson Sr. of his favorite disciple, Chris Webber.

In the history of the NBA, it is known that the first person to come up with positionless basketball was Pat Riley.

In the history of basketball, it is also known that the first successful player to use positionless tactics, the so-called five small tactics, on such a major stage as the NBA and NCAA Finals was the head coach of the University of Washington, Lorenzo Romar.

The future basketball development trend that Pat Riley proposed during the Lakers' 'show-time' period is that five players around 2 meters who can do anything will dominate the court.

These players don't have a fixed position on the field, everyone can attack, defend and organize, and they are an all-powerful group on the pitch.

This conjecture and philosophy of Pat Riley is now influential in basketball academia.

Not to mention the University of Washington's master tactician Lorenzo Romar's five-point play, which changed the annals of basketball history and made him one of the greatest head coaches in the history of the NCAA and basketball.

Pat Riley and Lorenzo Romar remind others of the Positionalization and the Five Small.

Pat Riley was the first to suggest that the future of basketball is moving toward positionlessness, but he was definitely not the only one of his contemporaries to do so.

Romar was the first to make the Five Minor Tactics successful, but definitely not the first to experiment with the Five Minor Tactics in the NBA or a major NCAA game.

At the same time that Pat Riley proposed the five small tactics, Nelson Sr. also put forward what he thinks is the future development trend of basketball, which is also position-free.

It's just that Nelson's positionless theory is not as sensational and appalling as Pat Riley's, so it doesn't have that much influence.

Pat Riley's positionlessness is nice to say, but it's not feasible in the NBA.

Five players of about 2 meters who can do anything?

Five Maddies?

Can a team have five Maddies?

The entire league couldn't find five Maddies.

Compared to Pat Riley's five-small, which is not operational, Nelson Sr.'s positionless five-small tactic is relatively much more feasible.

The old Nelson's non-positionalization is that the position is blurred, but the division of labor is not blurred.

Nelson Sr.'s five tactics are based on athleticism, excellent defense, and tireless running on the court, with someone in charge of organizing, someone in charge of scoring, someone in charge of shooting, and so on.

Nelson Sr.'s positionlessness is based on defense, while playing with the speed of a small lineup and the off-the-spot offensive advantage on the court.

This is Nelson Sr.'s optimization of his run-and-gun system defense.

This is theoretically possible, and operationally possible.

As long as you find the tactical core of this system that has interior height, can defend, can also organize and defend, and can also push fast breaks, and then find four players with other functions around this tactical core, this system can be successfully built.

As a mad scientist, unlike Pat Riley, who likes to talk endlessly, and likes to attract attention.

The elder Nelson has really been preparing to experiment with his deviant system in the NBA.

At that time, when Nelson Sr. met Chris Webb, he felt that this was a gift from God.

Height, speed, offense, defense, organization, shooting, ball quotient, etc., this is an all-powerful jade.

It is the perfect core of his five-small tactical system.

So, after getting Chris Webber, Nelson Sr. immediately experimented with his system in the Warriors.

It's just that what Nelson Sr. never expected was that the perfect player he valued, Chris Webber, was not interested in his system at all.

You're asking me to blur the location?

I'm a power forward, so why should I blur the position?

I'm going to play power forward!

Don't follow me with a triple-double, MVP, champion, I don't believe it, you're cheating on me!

In those days, you shouted offense to win a championship and some people believed that the Lakers' show-time was an example.

You're more likely to shout defense to win championships, and most teams are claiming to be defending when they win championships.

But if you want to shout five small tactics without positional to win the championship, then you can only go crazy.

Chris Webber just thought Nelson Sr. was crazy.

Old Nelson's personality was very hot at that time, if you don't listen, I'll blow the hairdryer.

Webb was a young genius at the time, and he had just won the Dream Team in a training match with Hill, and he was equally fiery in personality and sensitive and irritable.

The two Bombers were together, and the final spark was that Webb found out that he really couldn't do Nelson Sr. in the Warriors, applied for a trade, and left on his own initiative.

If I can't spray you, can't I go?

This is not a place for gentlemen to mix, gentlemen go to other places to mix.

Webb walked quite chicly.

What about Old Nelson?

Webb's departure left Nelson Sr. desperate.

With a flick of his sleeve, Webb took away not only the clouds, but also the dreams and ideas of old Nelson.

After coming up with his version of the Five Little Tactics without Position, Nelson Sr. waited so many years to finally meet Webb.

I thought it was God's attachment to pity him and gave him a fateful meeting.

I thought this was a fairy tale for a lifetime, but I didn't expect that because of the collision of the two personalities, it actually caused Lao Yan to fly apart.

After Webb left, the desperate old Nelson also lost the motivation and goal to stay with the Warriors, and finally chose to resign and leave the Warriors.

After separating from Webb, Nelson Sr. has also been reflecting, reflecting that if his character is not so strong and likes to drive a hair dryer, maybe he and Webb will have a completely different ending.

Or Weber's personality is more tenacious and less sensitive, and the outcome may also be different.

In short, Nelson Sr.'s personality has changed dramatically since then.

The changes are staggering.

If you have to give an example, it is the current ** Vicky.

Can you imagine that the hottest ** Vicky in the league will become a kind old man in the future?

Vicky is almost identical to his teacher, Nelson Sr.

Fortunately, Parker and Ginobili are not champions, they are not teenage geniuses, they are not Webb, and they are not sensitive.

The Webb incident had a great impact on Nelson Sr.'s life, not only changing Nelson Sr.'s personality, but also changing Nelson's selection criteria.

In the case of good talent, character is more important than talent.

"Mr. Nelson, have you seen Makgasol train?"

"I've seen, a very good young player."

When leaving the general manager's office with old Nelson, Ye Si suddenly asked.

Old Nelson smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Nelson, you haven't forgotten your five little tactics, have you?"

"Nope."

Old Nelson paused and sighed.

"I hope that one day I can fulfill my dream on the most important stage like Maestro Romar."

"However, before I can fulfill my dreams, I hope to help you achieve them."

Ye Si looked at Old Nelson in surprise.

I see.

Want to fulfill our dreams before then?

Even if Marc Gasol isn't a player who fits his basketball philosophy, he can do that.

Marc Gasol is willing to come to the supersonic to play as a substitute, how could Nelson Sr. not give him a promise.

Giving a promise to a player who doesn't fit your philosophy?

Is this still the same old Nelson?

“Yes。”

Well?

"Thank you fairy tale, it's an honor to grow up by your side for a season."

Grow by my side for a season?

Ye Si was stunned.

If I had understood this earlier, my dream would have been fulfilled with Chris Webb, right?

Stunned, old Nelson patted Ye Si on the shoulder and left with a smile.

Very relaxed smile.

Is it no longer a mad scientist who willfully uses a player's career and dreams as an experiment?

However, is it true that the five-man team can't succeed in the NBA?

Not necessarily.

Yes remembered the days when he was played crazy by James and the Knights.

In the current NBA, the center has slowly become a very scarce resource.

This is an era where functional centers such as Camby, Tyson Chandler, Dampier and Baller can sign quasi-max salaries.

It's not so easy to find a good center forward in an age like this.

For a team to face such an era, it is easier and simpler to eliminate the center forward than to rack their brains to choose a center forward.

After going around and around, the SuperSonics finally found a backup center available to the team.

The Lakers and Nets' trade for Kidd was basically finalized after the Mavericks and Grizzlies exited, and the SuperSonics were willing to be the bridge to the deal, and in order to facilitate the deal, the Nets readily sent their second-round pick No. 46 over.

If the SuperSonics had chosen Persian Jan Nakhba instead of Kwame Brown, the Nets would not have given away a second-round pick.

On June 17, 2007, the Lakers, Seattle SuperSonics and Nets reached a three-way deal.

Lakers sent: Lakers 2007 23rd pick in the first round, Kwame Brown, Brian Grant

SuperSonics Delivery: SuperSonics 2007 22nd Pick First Round Pick, Dennis Fortson, Robert Swift

Nets send: Jason Kidd, Jason Collins and a 2007 second-round pick

Lakers get: Jason Kidd, Jason Collins

The SuperSonics get: Kwame Brown and the No. 46 pick in the second round from the Nets.

The Nets get: Lakers 2007 23rd pick, SuperSonics 2007 22nd pick, Brian Grant, Danny Fortson, Brian Cook, Robert Swift.

After closing the deal, the SuperSonics got their coveted backup center.

The Lakers got the Kidd of their dreams.

After the Nets got two first-round picks this year, the team completely entered the days of Richard Jefferson as the core of the rebuild.

Carter, another superstar of the Nets, already represented that Carter would definitely go to the Grizzlies when the Grizzlies withdrew from the Kidd trade.

Carter is a free agent, as long as there is a future or a team that can win a championship, as long as there is a central position, he is willing to go to any team.

That as, the team doesn't have Kidd or a Rondo-style point guard.

Jerry West was originally going to wrap Kidd and Carter around.

And it's almost done, and Carter's statement in the end caught people off guard.

Jerry West's abilities exceeded Carter's expectations.

Originally, Carter felt that the Grizzlies should not get Kidd, and he didn't have to tear his face to express his position directly.

But in the end, seeing that he was going to be teammates with Kidd again, Carter finally panicked.

It can be seen that Carter was kicked out of the shadow because of the crazy 'foundation conference' last season.

Regardless of whether Kidd is a parallel import, he doesn't want to experience the picture of the Nets being collapsed by public opinion.

According to Carter's thinking, Rondo-style point guards like Kidd and Rondo should be left to Yes and Kobe, and others really can't hold it.

While the Nets, Lakers and SuperSonics completed the deal, the Rockets and Timberwolves also completed a deal.

The Rockets sent the team's main power forward, Juwan Howard, and got guard Mike James from the Timberwolves.

Mike James was the core of the Timberwolves' veteran squad last season, and the Timberwolves' trade for James represented the Timberwolves' options.

At the same time that Mike James was traded to the Rockets, Yes received a call from Rudy Gay.

"Next season, the Timberwolves are finally my final say!"

"This snow field in Minnesota is now contracted by me!"

"Yes, welcome to see the snow from time to time in the future!"

Listening to the excited Guy on the other end of the phone, Ye Si was speechless.

Said that the cold died, and I don't want to stay anymore?

After the Celtics and Suns Finals ended, the NBA's trade market became active.

On the second day of the Kwame Brown trade, the biggest shock news came out of the trade market, when the Kings traded Artest to the Rockets, trading Alston and Bunch Wells, Schneider and a first-round pick in '08 and '10.

After the Rockets got Artest, public opinion in the United States was in an uproar, ridiculed and watched the show.

But these have nothing to do with hypersound.

After getting Kwame Brown, the position of hypersonic is now saturated.

Centres: Milicic, Kwame Brown, Nick Collisson, Lafrentz

Power forwards: David Lee, Millsap, PJ Tucker, Marik Cross

Shooting Guards/Small Forwards: Yees, Quentin Richardson, Wilkins

Defenders: Rondo, Barria

An NBA team can have 15 players on their roster, and now the SuperSonics have 13 players, plus three draft picks that don't work.

SuperSonics need to release a player out.

On June 27, 2007, the Seattle SuperSonics announced that they had failed to negotiate a voluntary retirement with the team's center Lafrentz.

The team will grant an amnesty to Lafrentz for a two-year, 24 million contract.

Supersonic amnesty La Frentz's two-year, 24 million contract also became the second-highest amount of amnesty since the amnesty clause appeared.

The highest was the Dallas Mavericks' pardon in 2005 for a three-year, $51 million contract from former team boss Michael Finley.

Rich, capricious.

After completing the amnesty of Lafrenz and the sorting out of the squad of the team.

The much-anticipated draft of NBA2007 has officially begun.
