Amid the hustle and bustle of the five-team big trade with Yes as the core, the 2006 NBA Draft came to an end.

A convention that was supposed to be a small year for the draft, because the existence of Yes became one of the most watched draft conventions in NBA history.

For the first time in history, five teams revolved around a rookie trade involving a player who had a play-year MVP and two play-year All-Stars.

After the completion of the transaction, more and more inside information about the transaction was revealed.

The reason for the trade was not NBA MVP Kevin Garnett and the Timberwolves.

The reason for the trade was that the Seattle SuperSonics took the initiative to find the Toronto Raptors and seek to trade the Raptors' No. 1 pick in order to select Yes.

The Raptors Lions have a big mouth and need the No. 4 pick in the SuperSonics' hand and Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis.

Categorically rejected by the supersonic.

In order to get Yes, the superSonics can pay any price, except to send Ray Allen to the Raptors.

Ray Allen's past contributions to the SuperSonics and his humiliating pendulum for the SuperSonics last season make it hard for Rick Sander to be so ruthless.

And hypersound can't just get Yes, it would be very ugly.

The SuperSonics need a future first-round pick of little value from the Raptors.

The two sides are at an impasse.

Supersonic must get Yes, and the whole world knows the hole card of supersound.

The Raptors must maximize their own interests, don't rob now, and wait for later?

After almost half a month of sparring between the SuperSonics and the Raptors, the Raptors and the SuperSonics finally took a step back.

To get the deal done, the Raptors brought in the Celtics and Bucks.

The Celtics sent four first-round picks for the next seven years to the Raptors to redeem Ray Allen.

The Bucks sent the 2007 first-round pick to the SuperSonics instead of the Raptors in order to get the Raptors' potential big forward Villanova.

The Timberwolves, who had already completed a separate trade with the Celtics, learned of the existence of this trade, and saw that the supersonic was so easy to slaughter, and also wanted to come over and slaughter it, threatening the Celtics to join the trade.

Rick Sander guarded the bottom line for the sake of the supersonics, and the supersonic were not completely stripped by the Timberwolves.

In order to complete the deal quickly, the Raptors and Celtics lobbied the SuperSonics and the Bucks, asking the SuperSonics to send veteran forward Reggie Evans to the Bucks, and the Bucks to send Development League player Ilyasova to the Timberwolves.

At this point, the long-awaited deal was agreed upon.

After the agreement was reached, the Toronto Raptors selected Yes with the No. 1 pick according to the SuperSonics' requirements, and the SuperSonics selected Bagnani with their No. 4 pick according to the Raptors' requirements.

In this deal, SuperSonics general manager Rick Sander's stupidity of prematurely letting people see his hole cards made him a laughing stock all over the United States.

And Raptors general manager Brian Crangello, the former Suns general manager, said in an interview after getting Bagnani: "Our goal from start to finish is Bagnani, Yes is good, but Bagnani will shock the world!" ”

Colangelo's words were a few more stomps on the stupid Rick Sander.

And in this deal, Crangello once again became a respected wise man.

His greed, his ferocity, shocked everyone.

"By the time the deal was struck, Brian Crangello had already picked up next season's General Manager of the Year, while Rick Sander resigned in shame."

"This is the end of this deal, Brian Crangello's perfect operation will become the pinnacle of NBA draft robbery history, and Rick Sander will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever!"

Now being ridiculed like this by the whole of America, Rick Sander is very sad and ashamed.

In 1979, at the age of 28, he was hired by the Dallas Mavericks as general manager, the youngest general manager in NBA history.

Thirty years have passed, and from Dallas to the current Seattle SuperSonics, he, the youngest NBA general manager in history, has achieved nothing.

"Sam, threw a mess at you"

"No, Rick did a great job"

Looking at the devastated superSonic, Sam Presti, who was handing over to Rick Sander, didn't feel that his predecessor should be ridiculed.

It is not that he was suddenly invited to become the general manager of SuperSonics, he was invited a month ago.

In other words, when Rick Sander approached the Raptors to trade Yes, he was ready to be robbed by the Raptors and finally responsible for resigning.

Presti is a very calm person, and he has seen the operations that the SuperSonics have done in the past year to get Yes.

Aside from prematurely revealing his intention to have Yes, Rick Sander did nothing wrong with the rest of his operations.

In this deal, he was still able to hold on to Ray Allen's pleas and cut off the Timberwolves' groping, which was courageous.

When the situation was extremely unfavorable for him, he did not blindly tolerate it.

In the end, I got Yes, and I also repaid Ray Allen's grace and got a little bit of future for the team.

"Sam, at your request, we drafted PJ Tucker from the University of Texas with the No. 34 pick, and we drafted Paul Millsap from Louisiana Tech University with the No. 44 pick we bought from the Orlando Magic."

"Paul Millsap?"

"Paul Millsap was recommended to me by Yes before going to New York"

I see, it seems that Yes also believes that Rick Sander will pay all the price to keep him in Seattle.

The unparalleled trust between Seattle and Yes is moving.

"In order not to disrupt our draft plan and to meet Yes's requirements, I bought a second-round pick from the Magic on my own initiative."

Presti's silence made Rick Sander quickly explain.

According to the prior agreement, since a month ago, except for the Yes trade, any team's operation must be notified to Presti in advance.

But Yes's recommendation of Paul Millsap was just this morning, and his temporary purchase of the Magic's second-round pick was just now, so it was too late to announce.

"Did Rick look at Paul Millsap?"

Rick Sander was a little embarrassed to hear Princeton ask, he had never heard of this person at all.

Seeing Rick Sand's expression, Presti understood it, so he didn't delve into it.

Paul Millsap is supposed to be Yes nepotism, right?

It doesn't matter how strong the NCAA rebounding king he has some impressions is, the important thing is that he is a Yes person.

PJ Tucker went to college in Texas, Texas is the home of the Spurs, and he is the head of the Spurs scouting side, and he has been looking at PJ Tucker for a long time.

A month ago, he recommended PJ Tucker to Spurs general manager Buford, who also lacked a small forward, but Buford was embarrassed to get his recommendation.

Last year, in order to get Mohammed, the Spurs sent this year's first-round pick to the New York Knicks.

Since the Spurs can't be selected, PJ Tucker has fallen to the second round, and he can't afford to be cheap.

As long as Rick Sander picks PJ Tucker as he asks, nothing else matters.

In order to get a Yes, hypersound has now entered a complete rebuild phase.

The SuperSonics have a good roster of depth and have been a playoff team in the West in the past.

But after last season's crazy swing, and now the two leaders of the team have been sent away, this team has completely lost much heart.

Danny Foster, a one-year contract of 6.6 million, a pocket interior of 2.01 meters, can jump and grab boards, has a positive style of play, is very popular in Seattle, and can contribute an average of 16 points + 16 rebounds per game on the inside, but it was scrapped after a stress fracture, and he only played 23 games for the SuperSonics last season, and don't expect him to perform next season.

Damion Wilkins, who signed a 5-year 14.5 million contract with the team last year, and now has a 4-year contract, a 1.98-meter swingman, a swingman who can do anything, but is not proficient in anything, has played 15 points, 6 rebounds and 5 steals in the Western Conference semifinals with the Spurs, and this game is also the reason why he can get such a big contract as an undrafted pick.

Nick Collison has two rookie contracts left and a well-rounded 2.08-meter white blue-collar interior liner.

Robert Swift, a 2.13-meter white center with a two-year rookie contract, known as the last hope of a white center in the NCAA, will miss all games next season with a torn cruciate ligament, and it may be difficult to stand on the court in the future, which can be ignored.

Luke Ridno, who also has a one-year rookie contract, is a well-rounded 1.88-meter white point guard, who averaged 11.5 points and 7 assists per game in his junior last season, and is the biggest helper of Yes next season, and the team's most important asset besides Yes.

Johan Petro, who still has a three-year rookie contract, is a 2.13-meter black French center, and is a sufficient role player.

Earl Watson, a backup point guard with a three-year 18 million contract, averaged 11+5 per game in 24 minutes off the bench with the SuperSonics last season, and the team is now one of the most important remaining combat forces.

Chris Wilcox, whose contract expires, is a 2.08-meter power forward, who averaged 14+8 per game last season, and has reached a 3-year 19.5 million contract with the team, which is one of the team's important rebuilding assets.

Reeve Lafrentz, a 30-year-old 2.11m white center, is one of the two garbage contracts he received in order to broker the Yes trade, with a three-year, $36 million contract remaining, the team's biggest negative asset.

Jalen Rose, a 33-year-old swingman with a background of Kobe Bryant's 81-point background, received one of the two major garbage contracts in order to facilitate the Yes trade, and there is a one-year 15 million contract left.

Yes, Yes, a 19-year-old guard and the hope of the Seattle SuperSonics, is expected to give a four-year contract of 21 million, the most important core asset of the SuperSonics.

PJ Tucker, a 21-year-old rookie small forward, is expected to give a three-year contract of 2 million.

Paul Millsap, a 21-year-old power forward, is expected to give a three-year contract of 2 million.

After handing over to Rick Sander and reading the information of the team's current players, Presti's brows have been locked.

The team is now running out of room to maneuver.

After giving the likes of Wilcox and Yes contracts, the 13 players have a combined salary of nearly $65 million.

Next season, the league's salary cap is $53 million, the luxury tax trigger is $61 million, and the luxury tax exceeds the line by 4 million.

Jalen Rose's contract with Lafrenz is the top reason why the luxury tax is overrun.

The good news is that Jalen Rose's $15 million contract expires next season, and Danny Foster's 6.6 million junk contract expires next season, which could free up 22 million space for the team at that time.

But that's next season, and he won't have to think about playing big fish in free agency this season.

There are actually no big fish in the NBA this year, Jason Terry should still stay with the Mavericks, Ben Wallace, since he broke with the Pistons, the only goal is a big contract.

The SuperSonics certainly can't afford to give Ben Wallace a big contract and won't give it.

Now that the team has limited operating space, he is not sure who the team will sell to, and as general manager, his first consideration is to save money for the team.

Let's see if we can lower the luxury tax through trading and get some quality assets by the way

Last year, the supersonic did not have a super-luxury tax, and the fiscal loss was 12 million, and this year's salary expenditure will be 20 million more than last year, and the loss will be even greater.

The morning after the draft meeting ended was the final time for the board of directors to vote on whether to sell the team to the Goose City consortium.

As far as he knows, in the end, because of the intervention of Bill Gates, a Seattle billionaire who had little interest in supersound, the vote was terminated.

This is to be expected, and this is why hypersound must get Yes.

As the general manager of the NBA, Presti certainly wants his boss to be Bill Gates.

Unfortunately, not yet, negotiations on a supersonic deal continue.

So for now, he has to save money for the current boss who is short of money.

Next season is when SuperSonics and Yes will shine!

This season, no matter how strong Yes is, with such a supersonic, he won't be able to enter the playoffs.

"Sam, Orlando Magic request to trade Milicic for Earl Watson and Johan Petro!"

Milicic traded Earl Watson and Johan Petro?

Presti was stunned for a moment.

Even the magic took them for a fool of the supersounds?
