Chapter 1112: A Stormy Summer!
When Yees and the Seattle SuperSonics returned to Seattle, they felt what it means to be crazy.
For weeks, the whole of Seattle was in a frenzy.
Of course, the Seattle SuperSonics won the championship not only for Seattle, but also for China and the whole world, which is a huge news, even the biggest news.
So, many people say that it's not the craziest time for Seattle, and when it comes to the Seattle SuperSonics' championship celebration, Seattle will once again create the most championship celebration in NBA history.
These people are not wrong in their speculation, on June 18, 2010, the Seattle SuperSonics championship ceremony was indeed beyond the imagination of the whole world.
Seattle is a very special city in the United States, the degree of urbanity is very high, and there are too many big enterprises and big capitalists in this city, if these big companies and big capitalists are willing to contribute to the Seattle SuperSonics championship ceremony, the mobilization power is simply terrifying.
As the big boss of the Seattle SuperSonics, Bill Gates certainly won't let go of perhaps the biggest carnival in the city of Seattle.
Microsoft, Amazon, and Seattle's large and small enterprises mobilized almost in full force during the week.
On June 18th, when the Seattle SuperSonics championship ceremony came, standing on the top floor of the temporary headquarters of the NBA in Seattle's second tallest building, the 235-meter-high Seattle Washington Tower, overlooking the entire Seattle, the dense crowd, the wanton chasing people, David Stern's face was full of smiles.
"President, it is estimated that the Seattle SuperSonics championship celebration parade will circle Seattle for a week, and the number of participants will likely exceed three million."
"I think it's more than that."
David Stern shook his head.
Of course, not only that, because as one of the largest "congestion" cities in the United States, there are many, many fans from all over the country and Washington State who are now stuck in traffic outside the city, ready to abandon their cars or get off public transportation and walk to their nearest parade point to participate in the celebration.
Now there are three million people, and when these people are in place, they will have to rise by at least one million.
The mobilization and carrying capacity of this terror......
For the first time, David Stern felt the enormity of the energy contained in the city of Seattle.
Maybe Los Angeles and New York are more energetic, but it's hard for them to mobilize for the NBA and for basketball.
But Seattle is different, and now, they are really willing to mobilize the energy of the whole city for the glory of supersound, and now the glory of supersonic is the glory of them and the whole city.
Such a scenario would have been unimaginable five years ago.
At that time, the supersonic were even ready to move out of the city.
Even the city is considered by many to have no energy to host an NBA team.
Now it seems, that really was a joke.
It's not that the city doesn't have the capacity, or that the city hasn't found the right people.
Yes, that's the key to the city!
Thinking of Yes, David Stern thought of Jordan again.
He threw Jordan as a key to Charlotte for quite some time.
But Charlotte's door was still closed.
The efficiency of this door opening, compared with Yes, is simply powerless to complain.
Of course, counting Yes's four years of high school in Seattle, Yes's opening in Seattle is not short, but Jordan University is also open in North Carolina!
So, in the final analysis, the gap between the two is indeed a bit big.
Maybe ten years later, Jordan will be able to achieve what he is now in Charlotte, right?
Hopefully, Jordan can make him stand in front of the NCAA president in his lifetime and proudly say, I have occupied your capital!
"President, the headquarters has received a trade request that the San Antonio Spurs request to package the team's star guards Tony Parker and Ginobili to the Charlotte Hornets in a trade for Hornets forward Dio and guard Ragabel and the Hornets' fourth draft pick this year."
“……”
The smile on David Stern's face, who had set his eyes on the Seattle SuperSonics championship ceremony, froze directly.
Spurs want to trade Parker and Ginobili?!
Let's not talk about what the 33-year-old Ginobili and 28-year-old Parker are worth now.
This is the Spurs GDP that has tormented him and the league for a long time!
All of a sudden there is no GP?
He heard the Spurs send the GP away even more than he heard the Pistons send Billups and Hamilton away.
It's not about strength, it's not about trade value, it's about the fact that these two have been key players for the Spurs since they entered the league.
In David Stern's mind, it is impossible for the Spurs to trade these two players.
Even the liaison officer he put with the Spurs has been spreading the word that Popovich often yells at Parker and Ginobili that they are useless and wants to trade them, and even says that they have been going on for several seasons.
However, in the end, there is still no deal?
So, both Popovich and the league's analysts believe that Popovich's joke when he says he wants to trade Parker and Ginobili.
But now......
The two were literally sent away.
And it was sent to Charlotte, the Wasps......
Parker and Ginobili for Dio and Ragabel and this year's No. 4 pick.
This is indeed a peer-to-peer deal, and neither side has a big gain nor a big loss.
The contract amount is equal, and the value is also equal.
The Hornets got the star guard they had been looking for, and they also sent two big-contract players from the Suns that weren't successful.
The trade value of the two Suns champions, Dior and Ragapel, is almost equal to Ginobili.
And Parker's trade value is about the same as the fourth pick.
There is nothing wrong with this deal.
In terms of value, there is no problem.
However, logically speaking, it is quite unreasonable.
The Spurs themselves have the fifth pick, and continuing to have a front pick is naturally not for the purpose of selecting players for the draft, nor is it reserved for their own use.
If you use it yourself, it's better to keep Parker, and it takes time to develop a player with a draft pick, and this year's instant power guards Bradley and John Wall are not the fourth and fifth picks that can be selected.
So, the answer to this illogical deal is already on the horizon.
"Popovich and the Spurs are piling up chips to trade for another star point guard!"
"The Spurs and Popovich are ready to join Chris Paul in the trade!"
If Chris Paul is traded for the Thunder, there really is no need for Parker.
And the fourth and fifth picks were enough to trade Chris Paul's main chips.
"President, our analysts think so too, the Spurs will join the battle for Chris Paul!"
The assistant was excited, and David Stern put away the surprise on his face and nodded with a smile.
The Spurs suddenly sent away Ginobili and Parker, which really surprised him.
But if the Spurs are to join the race for Chris Paul, he'll be happy to see it.
By all indications, Chris Paul and the Lakers have reached some kind of tacit understanding.
He certainly doesn't want Chris Paul to go to the Lakers.
、
What are you kidding, is this to create a second Heat in the West?
Is there any royal law left?
If Chris Paul goes to the Lakers, maybe the Lakers next season will be more terrifying than the Heat.
The Spurs sent Parker and Ginobili away, and the overall strength is not so strong, and adding a Paul is only a strong team.
The point is, the Spurs can convince Paul, who is bent on going to the Lakers, to join.
After all, Duncan was Paul's college senior.
"The draft is about to start, so keep an eye on Chris Paul, and be sure to be the first to know when Popovich and the Spurs submit a trade request to the Thunder."
"President, I see."
David Stern is now sitting and waiting for the Spurs to join Chris Paul in this deal.
He had absolutely no belief that the Spurs were racking up chips for the Clippers' Westbrook.
Because the Clippers won the pick in this year's draft, the whole world knows that Westbrook is leaving.
Even Clippers fans are now frantically expecting the addition of John Wall and Nick Young to form a super backcourt combination.
As for Westbrook's performance in the Clippers' godly nine-game game in the past two seasons, fans have long been impatient.
However, what is slightly surprising is that the players of the Clippers and the management of the Clippers are still very patient with Westbrook.
It seems that they are really reluctant to trade this player they are extremely optimistic about.
The Clippers haven't done anything more than tentatively offered the Thunder a trade for Westbrook for Chris Paul after they were rejected.
The Clippers didn't look like they had any interest in John Wall.
In this regard, even many people believe it, after all, Wall did not shoot, Westbrook did not shoot, although Wall organized and passed better than Westbrook, but Westbrook's body was more energetic, and the athletic talent of the two was basically half a catty.
If you can't trade a player like Chris Paul, who is more well-rounded and offensive, it doesn't seem necessary to trade Westbrook for John Wall.
Moreover, because the Clippers have an eye sign, there is no need for them to act like they are not interested in Wall and are afraid of being robbed.
The Cavaliers didn't want Bradley to ask for Wall.
It is precisely because of this that John Wall's recent draft ranking has been greatly reduced.
The Clippers don't want Wall, and naturally, this will make the players the Clippers need go up, with Wesley Johnson, Cousins, and Derrick Favors all rising to varying degrees.
Of this year's six rookies, Bradley is a separate gear, and even if he doesn't need it, he can be used to rob, and the champion must be him.
And John Wall, Evan Turner, Wesley Johnson, Cousins, Derrick Favors five, is John Wall half a gear higher, although half a gear higher, but it has not reached the level of a stable second, even if it is useless, it can rob other teams in the league, and if you are not careful, it will be smashed in your own hands, rather than this, it is better to choose the other four star rookies who need it half a grade lower than him.
In a time when three-point shooting and shooting status are improving, John Wall's characteristics have kept his draft prospects in the fog.
But no matter how foggy it is, David Stern has always instinctively told him that the Clippers must have some conspiracy to ignore Wall so much, which is really too obvious.
Although I don't know what Doug Reaves, the new general manager and head coach of the Clippers, is going to do, his operation is not as untraceable as Jerry West, and some of them have no meaning here.
In short, no matter what, this summer is indeed destined to be a very lively summer for the entire NBA.
Where is Yao Ming's next home?
Where is James' next home?
These are two supergiants, and they will definitely leave the team.
In addition to these two supergiants, there are also star players such as Chris Bosh, Chris Paul, and Westbrook who will also change teams with a high probability.
It's fair to say that this summer is not going well, and we are going to make a super team again.
For example, who is Yao Ming and James' next family, but it can change the pattern of the entire league.
The supersonic has the ability to eat the top salary of the two naked, and the last thing he wants is for these two to go to the supersonics!
And the most likely thing for these two to go is precisely supersonic again!
So, in order to keep these two people out of hypersound, he really racked his brains.
Recently, I have been feeling that my thick hair is slowly starting to fall out.
Even every day I dream that Yao Ming and James suddenly announce that they will join a team at the same time, or that one of them will join the SuperSonics, or that the two of them will join the SuperSonics together.
That's right, the most terrifying thing is that if the supersonic are willing, the two of them are willing, and the supersonic can eat the big contract of these two naked!
SuperSonics is now the biggest brave man in the NBA, and he really doesn't want this biggest brave man to turn around and become the biggest evil dragon in the NBA.
David Stern is now worried, and Yees and the SuperSonics, who completed the biggest championship in NBA history, are also frowning.
Because on the second day of the championship celebration, Rondo was like the team submitting a trade request.
And almost immediately, the Spurs sent Rondo their trade offer.
Yes knew Rondo wanted to go.
Even in the past few days, he has been trying to make friends with Rondo, but these days, except for the championship celebration, he has not even been able to contact Rondo at other times.
After the championship celebration, Rondo handed over all his affairs to his agent, Anthony Washington, and after submitting the trade request himself, he went straight to vacation abroad.
"Ye, it's useless, Rajan said, he doesn't want to meet with you, he knows, he will most likely be persuaded by you."
"He loves Seattle, he loves the supersonics, but he wants to be the boss even more!"
"Well, that's pretty much what Rajan said, so I can't help it."
Anthony Washington flanked helplessly at Yess.
I don't want to leave, but I just want to be the boss!
Yes looked at Anthony Washington, as if he saw an extremely stubborn back standing behind him.
And just when Rondo's affair made Ye Si frown, Ye Si received a phone call that made him frown even more.
"Little leaf, James contacted me."
Well?
"He wants me to go with him to Cleveland......"
Well?!
