Chapter 1133: Do You Know How Hard It Is to Sustain a Dynasty?!
Seattle is full of pits right now.
Presti knew, Rick Sound knew, and Nelson Sr. knew.
It's not a good time to ask Yes to make a comeback.
So when is a good time to ask Yes to make a comeback?
It's like when the Cavaliers invited James to come back and help James do everything well, and then sign with James, which is the best.
The Seattle SuperSonics should help Yes clean up all the Seattle SuperSonics players before inviting Yes back.
The team is really bloated right now!
Why are knights so powerful now?
After giving the 80-win Warriors to the overall runner-up, the Cavaliers have replaced the Warriors as the team that competes with 0910 for the best team in history.
Why are knights so strong?
It's not just because the Cavaliers have two powerful supergiants, James and Anthony.
The thick eyebrows, who have the strength of an all-star, are now holding an annual salary of 7 million, but Milicic, who is opposite him, is the same all-star, and he is holding an annual salary of 20 million.
It's not that Milicic doesn't deserve this annual salary, it's the same price for Milicic to go to other teams.
But for the same $20 million, the Seattle SuperSonics can only be used by Milicic alone, while on the Cavaliers' side, $20 million can be used by thick eyebrows, John Wall and DeRozan!
This is the difference in strength between the two sides.
Don't look at the Seattle SuperSonics' current contract total, not counting the luxury tax, which has reached 150 million US dollars, if you exclude the four supergiants of the two teams, Yes Durant and Anthony James, and calculate the annual salary and combat effectiveness of other players, the 150 million US dollars of the SuperSonics only have 150 million US dollars of combat effectiveness, and the 100 million lineup of the Cavaliers may be able to exert 200 million strength!
Moreover, there is no longer any possibility of supersonic work on the supersonic side, and the future will only become more and more bloated, and the combat effectiveness will become less and less worthy of the salary.
On the Cavaliers' side, because of the continuous blood transfusion of the SB team of the Nets, it can be said that there are many directions for adjustment in the future.
So, the Seattle SuperSonics are a team with a past that has its past glory, but its players have begun to prosper and have no future.
The Cavaliers, on the other hand, are a thriving team with a present and a future.
So although Yes is back and fulfills the three-year contract with James, Presti and they never think that James will fulfill his promise to come to the SuperSonics and make up for the debt to Yes in the first place.
Now hypersound is tough.
And how can we get out of this difficulty?
It's very simple, get rid of all the team's meritorious veterans and players who no longer have contract bonuses!
Of course, a supergiant like Durant must be kept, and a supergiant like Durant will not lose 50 million, but the league's regulations can only give him a contract of 30 million at most.
But a player like Milicic can sweep him away and let him go to other teams to get 20 million.
A player like James Harden can sweep him out of the house and go elsewhere to get an 18 million contract.
A player like Millsap, with one year left before his five-year, $55 million contract expires, take advantage of the fact that he still has trade value and send him to other teams for draft picks or young players, otherwise next year, when it is necessary to renew Millsap's contract, Millsap will become a contract without any dividends like Milicic.
If he and the Seattle SuperSonics can get all of this done, that's the perfect time to ask Yes to come back.
The bad guys they did, Yes came back to be the good guys, anyway, there was Durant, even if the Seattle SuperSonics turned into a ruin again, it would have a better future than the current Seattle SuperSonics.
Now the Seattle SuperSonics, Milicic, James Harden, Millsap occupy a large salary, occupy the starting position of the team, their salary hinders the operation of the team, and their starting position also hinders the development of young players.
The current Seattle supersonic has begun to enter the stage of class solidification that has laid down the world.
The heroes who once accompanied Yes to conquer the world and establish the holy capital have now become cancers one by one.
This is something that Seattle SuperSonics management, including the elder Nielsen, knows and understands very well.
But they didn't have anything to do.
Because there's no way to clean it up!
Even if Yes is not in the team, they have to take into account the spirit that Yes left behind and the team spirit that they flaunt in the team.
If these heroes don't want to leave, the team can't clean them up.
Unless you don't want to do it anymore.
A dynasty that has gone through the peak of the early stage and the efforts to maintain it in the middle period will soon enter the great chaos of the later stage.
The current Seattle SuperSonics is such a dynasty that is already at the junction of the middle and late stages.
The free market is completely useless, and it is impossible to introduce a strong free market.
And through the draft, he also worked hard, and in the past two years, several players have been drafted, Reggie Jackson in 2011 and Perry Jones III in 2012.
But neither of these drafts was too successful.
I can't say that it didn't work.
It's just that compared to the success of the first round when Yes was basically an All-Star, Reggie Jackson and Perry Jones were quite unsuccessful.
Of course, Reggie Jackson can still be used, but Perry Jones, a former genius, was originally gambling, but now he just failed to gamble, and his body is indeed useless.
This can't be blamed on Reggie Jackson and Perry Jones either, because that's the second layer of the supersonic dilemma.
After the free market did not have the ability to bolster the superSonics, the draft market had no way to bolster it because the draft pick was too low.
The SuperSonics are still a strong team now, whether Yes comes back or Yes is not there, the SuperSonics are a strong team that cannot be lottery.
So every year's draft pick is very low, unless luck meets a talent who falls very late, such as Perry Jones, but such a gamble is a failure, and a rookie of Reggie Jackson's caliber is unlikely to change the current embarrassing status quo of the Seattle SuperSonics.
Running water does not rot and the hub does not beetle, this is the truth that they all understand.
But now the Seattle supersonic speed has basically stopped flowing.
Of course, Presti knows that now is not the best time to ask Yes to come back, but there is no way, and now the Seattle SuperSonics need Yes.
Moreover, hypersound, although it is now corrupted, is not without opportunities.
When he made a deal with the Magic, although he expected Howard to pit the Magic, he really didn't expect Howard, who always kept loyalty in his mouth, to really pit the Magic, and then let them get this year's list of the Eye Sign.
And this list can be said to be the only chance to change the fate of Seattle SuperSonics.
As you can imagine, this pick is likely to be the highest draft pick the Seattle SuperSonics could get before Yes retires.
For this opportunity, he really didn't dare to use it himself.
No matter how the class of 2013 was complained about as the worst rookie in NBA history, he didn't dare to take the fate of the team and Yes in his own hands for the next ten years or even more than a decade.
Therefore, even if he knows that asking Yes to come back is a big hole now, he needs to invite Yes back, and only Yes can fill this pit!
If this year's list can also select a player like Durant who can be cultivated by Yes to be a super, then in the future, with Yes, Durant and the three supergiants of the Seattle SuperSonics, no matter how corrupt they are, they can also stand at the top of the NBA, support Yes's conquest of the world to regain the throne, and complete the crusade against a treacherous person like James!
Of course, now James has not broken his promise, and he still has the opportunity to jump out of his contract and join the SuperSonics with a base salary.
The SuperSonics want to offer James a contract with a maximum salary, but James can only accept a base salary if he wants to fulfill his commitment to join the SuperSonics and Yes team, because the SuperSonics can only provide a base salary......
After Yes returned, James has not announced that he will definitely not come to the SuperSonics, but Presti feels that James will join the SuperSonics with a base salary because of his brain disease.
So, James is definitely the target of Yes's crusade.
In terms of Yes's character, he has treated James so sincerely, if James still bears him and Yes doesn't crusade, everyone else will think Yes is not worth it.
And Yes wants to crusade against the current James and the Cavaliers, not to mention how much he has not played a basketball game in three years now, and how long will it take to get back, the current supersonic lineup is not a lineup that can crusade against James and the Cavaliers.
Everyone is two supergiants, Anthony still has a little restraint on Durant now, even if Durant is now gaining weight and gaining weight out of a small belly, and James ...... James has never been Yes's opponent, a small forward and a guard, it can be said that the two can't get each other, of course, Yes's ability is stronger.
It can be said that the comparison of the two supergiants, the two teams are barely five or five, if Yes still has peak strength now, the supersonic is superior, and if Yes needs to get back to form, the Cavaliers have the advantage.
And compared with the other players of the two teams, that is, the Cavaliers have an overall advantage.
Therefore, after sincerely talking to Yes about the team's current predicament, Presti felt that Yes should be surprised and unbelievable when he heard that supersonic is now so difficult, and the meeting was dignified, but Yes is still quite calm now, which makes Presti a little weak, and hurriedly continued to remind.
"Yes, I know you still have expectations for James, but I think it's better for you to give up this expectation, James can't join our team with a base salary, so, I hope James doesn't join the team, you better not rush to crusade against the Cavaliers and James next season, put up with him for a year or two, even if James shouts out a fairy tale, he is in the East, we are in the West, he is easy to enter the Finals in the East, but it is not easy for us to be in the West, so we can bear it, As long as we use this year's roster to select a player who can be trained into a supergiant for a year or two, and when we are strong again, it is time to punish James and the Cavaliers. β
Presti felt like she had spoken very, very clearly.
There was no way to be clearer, but Ye Si remained unmoved, as if none of the things he had just said did exist.
"Yes, do you understand?"
Presti asked cautiously.
"I understand, accumulate grain, build a high wall, and slowly become king."
After Ye Si finished speaking, Presti was choked, and it seemed, as if it was indeed the case.
Sure enough, Chinese is broad and profound, Yes summed up awesome.
It's just that......
You understand it, you understand it, why do I always feel that although your face is calm, there is still disdain in the middle?
When Presti was about to continue saying something, Yes had already stopped him.
"I already know the current situation of the team, now let's go and see the 'grain and grass' this year."
After Yes finished speaking, Rick Sander and Nelson Sr. laughed next to him, while Presti smiled wryly.
Obviously, yes just doesn't think so.
In fact, the old Nelson had expected Yes's disapproval.
He voted against inviting Yes back this season.
But in the end, it was 2 to 1.
He voted against it, but in his heart he also hoped that Yes would come back this season.
He is 73 years old this year.
This season, he will coach the Seattle SuperSonics again, and that would break the record of Hubbie Brown as the oldest NBA coach at 72.
In the history of the NBA, the over-70 head coach has been named to him and Hubbie Brown and Larry Brown, who left the Hornets head coach in 2012.
Seriously, at his age, it's time to retire.
And in the eyes of many, what else does he have to regret?
As a player, he won five championships, was a direct disciple of the Cardinals, and retired his jersey with the Celtics.
As a head coach, he has played the Black Eight, also played the season win, and even became the head coach of the dynasty in one fell swoop in the SuperSonics, and in 1996, on the NBA's 50th birthday, he was named one of the top ten greatest head coaches in NBA history.
Cardinals, Chuck Daley, Bill Fitch, Reed Holzman, Phil Jackson, John Kundera, Jack Ramsay, Pat Riley, Lenny Wilkens plus him, and he's the only coach out of ten who hasn't won a championship.
Now, 17 years later, if the ten greatest head coaches are selected again, his ranking will definitely rise without dropping, and I am afraid that no one except his teacher, Cardinal, dares to say that he has done a better job in the NBA coaching position than him.
It can be said that the old Nelson has no regrets in the NBA, whether as a player or a coach, he should have achieved the ultimate without any regrets.
Of course, this is what others see.
But in his own opinion, he still has regrets.
The supersonic players may have fulfilled their dreams, but their dreams are not yet complete!
He's a mad scientist who hasn't put his craziest experiments out of the NBA yet!
Now, the man who could let him put out the craziest experiment in his heart is back!
He voted against it, but he wanted Yes to come back more than anyone else!
Even Yes is the only reason he's still in the NBA!
βYesοΌοΌβ
"It's really Yes!"
"Yes is coming!"
When Ye Si and his feet stepped into the supersonic training hall, the whole training hall seemed to go crazy.
