Chapter 402: Complete Security and the Last Madness of the West
After the SuperSonics drafted Durant with the Eye Pick, Yees responded to the controversy caused by Durant for the first time.
The impact of Yees's response across the United States has been enormous.
Before Ye Si did not respond, coconut powder and the coconut powder media had always had a fantasy.
That is, the SuperSonics selected Durant for robbery.
The SuperSonics will certainly trade Durant before the start of the new season.
In particular, Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan and general manager Pritchard have a soft spot for Durant.
has not hidden his love for Durant, and is even willing to use anyone except Conley and Aldridge as chips.
Trail Blazers general manager Kevin Richard is 40 years old, young and promising, and comes from a famous family in the basketball world.
Pritchard's teachers are basketball legend Larry Brown, Spurs head coach Popovich, Spurs general manager Buford, and Pacers president and legendary general manager Walsh are brothers.
After a modest playing career, in 2003 Pritchard worked as a scout for his brothers Popovich and Buford, and was a colleague of SuperSonics general manager Presti, and the two had a very close relationship.
This is very reminiscent of whether the Trail Blazers asked the SuperSonics to help select Durant to prevent Durant from being robbed, then ask the SuperSonics to rob Durant first.
After all, the Trail Blazers' 2007 draft pick was only the fifth pick.
The Trail Blazers' fifth pick will never give McMillan and Pritchard the confidence of a player.
The Trail Blazers only have the fifth pick, even if Durant's pick is declining, if you keep saying in the media that Durant doesn't want to, aren't you afraid of being robbed?
Is the example of the Raptors robbing the supersonic last year not that far away?
What is it that supports the Trail Blazers to openly want a player with the fifth pick?
There is no reason other than that they are sure they can get Durant.
So, the Trail Blazers must have reached an agreement with the supersounds.
When the time is right, the two teams will trade Durant.
But wait, wait, wait, coconut flour and coconut flour media waited for the pioneer's continuous offer.
At the beginning, Randolph exchanged Durant + Marikrose, although the Trail Blazers have long made it clear that they must trade Randolph this summer, and Randolph is no longer in the Trail Blazers' plans, but this chip can be regarded as sincere.
Rudy Guy may not be as strong as Randolph, let alone someone who uses Rudy Guy as a model.
Add to that Marik Cross, and it's the Trail Blazers giving the supersonic a contract to clean up the junk.
Many coconut flour and coconut flour media think that this offer is okay, very good, and the transaction should be completed immediately.
Even if Randolph prick his head again, no matter how bad the defense is, and no matter how much data is brushed, he can still brush the data, what will Durant do? I can't even brush up the stats in the preseason.
Who would have thought that it would not be long before Supersonic general manager Presti directly rejected the Trail Blazers' trade proposal.
It's incomprehensible.
What exactly is going on between the Trail Blazers, the SuperSonics and Durant is once again confusing.
Fortunately, what keeps the hope of coconut flour and the coconut flour media is that the pioneers are still not discouraged after being rejected.
Randolph + Pulzbilla......
Randolph + Telfer......
Randolph + Jarrett Jack ......
Randolph + Webster ......
Even the latest offer is already a Randolph + Trail Blazers 2008 top-five protected draft pick!
This is already the best chip that the Trail Blazers can come up with, apart from Aldridge and Conley.
What makes Coconut Powder and the Coconut Powder media desperate is that no matter how dark Durant they are, Yes and the SuperSonics management just won't let go of Durant.
The rejection again and again makes their hearts cold to refuse.
Now they don't have to be cold, they can completely despair.
After Ye Si publicly said 'wait and see', the coconut powder and the coconut powder media fell silent.
Now only coconut black and coconut black media are excited.
They can finally rest assured!
Durant and Rondo and Millsap are finally tied to Yes!
The coconut black media is a minority in the major media in the United States, and there are not many of them, but a day after Yess responded, the entire trend of public opinion in the United States was mastered by them.
The coconut powder media is silent, and now is the carnival time for the coconut black media!
Ye Si's response was more than that these coconut black media were binge.
In Cleveland's training gym, O'Neal felt like his new teammate LeBron James' three-point shots were happier than ever.
It's just that the hit rate is a little touching.
"LeBron, I think you're more used to shooting long-range threes?"
James, who couldn't hide his joy, heard O'Neill say this, and the expression on his face was a little embarrassed.
He had never taken control of his three-point shooting before, and the offseason was his first targeted practice shooting.
His current control of shooting is really not good enough.
Three points on the three-point line, whether you can score or not depends on the sky.
Half a step outside the three-point line or a three-point point or so, he feels that he seems to be in control, and the shooting percentage is slightly better.
"I still have some problems with three points, but don't rush, take your time."
Don't rush and take your time?
James actually said that there was no need to rush and take his time?!
Is this still James?
He consulted Wade when he drove the Heat.
Wade told him not to be so lazy in the Cavaliers, and James was eager to catch up with Yes.
Let him make people feel like he's working hard even if it's pretending.
But after coming to the Cavaliers for so long, O'Neal found that James was not as urgent as Wade said?
Soon, though, O'Neill understood.
The SuperSonics drafted Durant with the No. 2 pick, and Yes has now announced that the SuperSonics will keep Durant and them, and James really doesn't need to be too urgent.
For the new season, the Cavaliers are predicted to be third in the East!
Second only to the Celtics and Wizards.
In the new season, the SuperSonics are predicted to be 10th in the West!
As for the other predictor of the eighth supersonic, now that Durant has announced that he will stay on the team, there is naturally no need to discuss it anymore.
Portland, the office of the Trail Blazers general manager, Pritchard looked at the newspaper in his hand with a look of regret.
"Sam still didn't succumb to the pressure I put on him."
Ahead of this year's draft, it was a secret that the Trail Blazers were targeting Durant.
Pritchard made the Trail Blazers' target Durant public after learning from his brothers' connections that Presti was targeting Durant.
Before the draft, Durant was so black, and he even lost Nike's big contract, and he also had a share of the credit.
He and the Trail Blazers later publicly thought about Durant, not because they reached a deal with the SuperSonics, but because they were putting pressure on Presti.
Even if Presti is optimistic about Durant, he will listen to the team owner, the team boss.
As long as the team owner questions Presti's choice, as long as Yes questions Presti's choice.
That's his chance.
A player with Rudy template for Randolph + Lotto draft picks, isn't it stupid not to do such a good deal?
What makes Pritchard speechless is that his plan is good, but the boss of the supersonic is Bill Gates.
Bill Gates has no interest in anyone other than Yes at all.
What trades, what losses are not losses, he doesn't care at all.
As for Yes......
Yes looks more confident about Durant than Presti!
After Yes publicly declared that he would wait and see, he knew that his hopes of getting Durant were gone.
Since taking over as general manager of the Trail Blazers, he has been working on the rejuvenation of the team.
Randolph will definitely have to be cleaned up before the start of the season, and he will be pardoned if he can't be traded, and Randolph has already affected the development of young people like Aldridge and Conley on the team.
If you can use Randolph as the main chip, plus any chips other than Aldridge and Conley, it will be worth it to trade to Durant.
Conley, Aldridge and Durant are the future of the Trail Blazers he is planning.
It's a pity......
What a great opportunity.
"Kevin, the New York Knicks have rejected Randolph and Fred Jones' offer to trade Francis and Channing Fry."
Pritchard, who was still in pity just now, had a dark face.
Is Randolph not even worth that now?
Can't change Channing Fry?
He didn't ask for Channing Frye for nothing, and he also helped the Knicks clear Francis's contract.
What's more, Channing Fry is just a 24-year-old inside player who averages 9+5 per game
Thorns, high salaries, and not defending yet, such players are really not welcome.
Regardless of the weak team, the strong team does not welcome such a team.
The young weak team is afraid of bringing bad atmosphere, and the strong team is afraid of destroying the chemistry.
But even so, Randolph is still surprised that he can't even change a young player of Channingfrye's level now.
Channing Frye's level is already his bottom line.
A young player who is worse than Channing Fry has no development value.
Rather than this, it is better to give Randolph a direct pardon.
Is it really time to pardon Randolph before the season starts?
"Kevin, the Magic rejected our offer to trade Randolph for Gortat."
In his assessment, Gortat and Channingfrye were on a scale.
It seems that not only the New York Knicks think so, but the Magic also think so.
"Kevin, the Magic are trading Gortat, but not interested in Randolph."
It's no secret that the Magic are in discussions with the Lakers about trading Turkegrew for Odom.
As for the Lakers management's stupid lack of secrecy, after Jerry West left, it was full of holes.
No way, who let the Lakers have the league's biggest undercover magician.
Except for Jerry West, no one can control the magician's mouth.
The Magic want Odom and are willing to trade Turk Grupin.
No matter how lazy Odom is, he is also a career best of the month, and last season he averaged 16+10+5 per game as a top quasi-All-Star.
Turkglou's stats last season were only 14+4+3, and although the Lakers management was stupid, they were not stupid to that extent.
The Lakers are also interested in trading Turkoglu for Odom, but need Magic plus Gottat.
The Lakers were short of a backup center after trading away Kwame Brown.
The Magic left Milicic last season and also lacked a backup center, and bought Gortat from the Suns to sign him so that he could play Howard off the bench.
The two stupid teams are stuck here because of the problem of a substitute center.
It was a stalemate from July until the start of the season.
If it were Jerry West, he had already completed the deal with an unknown number of schemes.
However, he actually doesn't have the capital to laugh at the Lakers and Magic's management.
In order to get Durant, didn't he keep Randolph who was going to be cleaned until now?
Randolph was not easy to sell before, and now that the season is about to start, it is even more difficult to sell.
If only we could find a conscientious buyer like the Rockets who are willing to accept the thorns.
However, it is not the Rockets who are willing to accept the thorn, it is Adelman who is willing to accept it.
During his time as king, Artest and Adelman had a good relationship.
And Randolph's relationship with his former head coach, 76ers and current head coach Cheeks, is not so good.
"Help me contact Lakers general manager Kupchak."
Pritchard made a decision.
Yes only returned to the team to report on October 1.
But he has always been well aware of the dissatisfaction with Durant among the players within the team.
After he publicly announced that controversial players such as Durant and Rondo and Millsap were certain to stay, the tension within the team disappeared.
Durant is still alone.
The only difference is that the supersonic players are no longer deliberately targeting him on the training ground.
October 5, 2007, Seattle Key Arena, SuperSonics and Houston Rockets preseason.
It was a normal pre-season game, but the press at the Key Arena was packed.
This is the debut of the new season of the insanely underestimated supersonics.
What will happen to the insanely underestimated supersonic this season?
The starting lineup for this game for the SuperSonics is Milicic, David Lee, Durant, Yees and Rondo.
In the first preseason game of the SuperSonics, Durant was the starter, which means that he will replace Quentin Richardson as the main small forward of the SuperSonics next season!
"That's why many experts say that the SuperSonics have Durant's strength not increasing but decreasing, Quentin Richardson's data last season was 13 points per game, shooting 42%, three-point shooting rate 38%, Durant will definitely not be able to play Quentin Richardson's performance in the starting lineup next season!"
"Since the SuperSonics treat Durant as Yes's Pippen, they will definitely not let Durant come to the bench!"
"This is a preseason game that will be broadcast live in the United States, and many fans who care about Yes have been looking forward to this game for a long time."
"They're praying, maybe Durant's poor performance in Summer League might be due to the lack of a Yes?"
"Yes is a magical player, Milicic can be reborn by Yes's side, and Durant may be able to do too!"
"For many coconut fans, this preseason game even decided what they expected from the supersonic results this season, which was the last straw for them in despair!"
After more than two months, Ye Si met Yao Ming again.
Compared with more than two months ago, Yao Ming has become 'green'.
"Xiao Yezi doesn't recognize me?"
"Almost."
"I've lost thirty pounds in the past two months, and my face has indeed grown smaller more than once."
Ye Si and Yao Ming were greeting.
In front of the bench on the other side.
"KD, the latest news, Lakers, Magic, Trail Blazers complete a three-way trade, Randolph and Turkgrew are on their way to the Lakers!"
"KD, you're completely safe!"
It's completely safe!
