In fact, a week ago, Isaiah Thomas had already spoken to Sushi about the team's rebuild.

He didn't mean to 'discuss joining' with Suhi in this regard, he tacitly assumed that Suxi was already a member of the team, and he put out the team's entire plan and decision-making.

It doesn't matter if you come here or not, I've already considered you our boss anyway.

This kind of play is somewhat 'scoundrel'.

This feeling is as if the girl has not agreed to the boy's pursuit, and the boy will directly throw his bank card and house into the girl's hand and let you watch it.

Suhi had not made a decision before.

Los Angeles was a big draw for him, and at the time he was only about 50 percent inclined to join New York. He has a lot of business in Silicon Valley, and two lovers are constantly calling him, and Hollywood is also super attractive to him, he is a young man after all.

But now. This small accident at the airport highway completely changed his decision.

He doesn't like the traffic in Los Angeles and the dangerous paparazzi.

So, he was silent for a while, and he said, "I believe in your draft vision." I need a tall interior who can shoot in the high post, I need a blue-collar who can grab rebounds, and I need a sixth man with a lot of energy. ”

Suhi said to Isaiah Thomas.

Thomas heard Suxi loosen his mouth and immediately ignored the image Yes on the other side of the phone! Yes！ Yes！ Get up.

Suhi hung up.

A major event that was enough to affect the structure of the alliance was decided in this way.

There are no thrilling business wars, and there are no difficult choices.

It was a small accident that caused Suhi to make a decision less than 30 minutes before the draft officially began.

Kobe and the Magic didn't know it was happening, and Suhi turned around, and he chatted with the Magic and Kobe Bryant again. Then, at the time of separation, Sushi told them frankly: "I decided to join the Knicks. ”

This surprised both of them.

Nix? Why?

They can't understand it.

Because the Knicks are terrible, and it's a superstar graveyard at all, what else can you get by going there besides money?

Jack is not short of money.

"Was it such a sudden decision?" Bryant asked incredulously.

Suhi nodded, and he said, "I choose to take the most difficult path. I know that with you, I will definitely be able to match Jordan Pippen, or even surpass them. ”

"Do you think you can bring the Knicks alone?" Bryant was disappointed, but he was also sincere, and he was persuading Suhi: "I used to think that I could lead the whole team to a championship by myself, but when you face a complicated locker room, everyone has a completely different idea, and some teammates who are unwilling to improve, and have problems with their work ethic and basic skills, ....... ”

Kobe Bryant came out to say.

The season that just passed was an unprecedented failure for him, he didn't get what he wanted, he didn't even make the playoffs.

That's why he went out of his way to invite Sushi to join the team.

However, Suxi has made up her mind.

The final exchange was a bit awkward, and although everyone was a decent person, they came here for cooperation after all.

…

"Why go to New York?"

At night, in a luxury villa in Beverly Hills, Jessica Alba was very depressed and lay on her bed.

When Susie told her about this decision, she was full of resistance, and it was harder to catch than a pig for the New Year.

She wanted Suhee to stay in Los Angeles, her cowhide had been blown out. She thinks Sushi will definitely join the Lakers, even if it's the Clippers. After all, there is a woman who loves him the most.

Su Xi is not a man who is good at coaxing women, he does not have so many subtle words, and he does not have high emotional intelligence. He just flew up and pinned Jessica Alba under him, peeling her neatly in a few moments.

"Women don't interfere with men's careers, it's a family rule!"

Suhi slapped it down.

Instant silence.

Then, Suhey treats Jessica Alba even more violently.

Throughout the night, Jessica Alba begged for mercy.

She knew how powerful Suhi was.

She was convinced.

…

It was on this night that the Knicks selected three young men in the draft: Channingflye, David Lee, and Turiaf.

All three are interior players, although the Knicks have quite a few interior players right now.

Isaiah Thomas follows Suhi's instructions exactly, and he's now the happiest man in the whole world, although there are plenty of basketball commentators who find his manipulation puzzling.

The biggest winner of this year's draft is believed to be the Milwaukee Bucks who picked Bogut with the first pick, and many people feel that Bogut is at least no worse than Yao Ming, the foreign top pick in 2002.

Bogut was ambitious, and after he was elected champion, he made a series of pointing remarks, not only did he not take Suxi seriously, but he even felt that O'Neal and Duncan were old, and they didn't keep the center prosperous, and they had to let him set things right.

At a time when the league is getting less and less big-mouthed, his arrival adds a new bright spot to the NBA.

In addition, Marvin Williams, the youngest of the North Carolina four and considered the most talented, was selected by the Hawks with the second pick. Then the third pick was the Utah Jazz, and they picked Deron Williams. Then the Hornets picked Paul.

The Bobcats are Jordan himself this year, and they have the fifth overall pick.

After Jordan received O'Connor's stimulus in Indiana, he reached into the management and he wanted to build a championship team himself.

So, he picked Filton.

There were three reasons to pick Filton.

First: Filton is his junior brother who helped North Carolina win the championship this year.

Second: Felton's strength is very good, and his body is very strong, which makes Jordan can't stop thinking about Suhi, Suxi's body is also very strong. Although Felton looks a little fat, Sushi is lean.

Third: Everybody loves Raymond.

Jordan also gave an interview himself, saying: "The Bobcats will replicate the success of the University of North Carolina, Raymond is the greatest champion in basketball this year, he gave the Bobcats championship genes, and we have every reason to believe that in the near future, he will lead the Bobcats to unprecedented glory." ”

Every lottery rookie carries the hope of the team.

Therefore, Jordan said such things at this time, but it was not so 'out of line', because almost every management said so.

Only Isaiah Thomas was an accident.

"Why did we pick three inside lines? Because we're going to get Susie the sheep soon. ”

"I hope the three of them can follow in Jack's footsteps and make some contributions on the way to the championship."

"How to get Jack, it's a secret."

"Why are you so sure that Jack will join the Knicks? Hey, he's meant to be a Knicks player, he's just been traded out by two stupid guys. Helping others win two championship trophies, and now, he's going home. Go home, you know? ”

“……”

Draft night is a buzzing affair with a lot of news happening and some trades happening, which is an annual convention.

…

Suhey had a quiet time in Los Angeles, he didn't care about the media mouthpieces, and he went fishing with Jessica Alba. In the evening, they attended a business dinner together and helped a company with a ribbon-cutting event.

Sushi received $250,000 in after-tax income.

With Suhi's current fame, he is in a cosmopolitan city like Los Angeles, where he can often receive such easy and lucrative business.

In contrast, there are very few such opportunities in Indiana.

Therefore, O'Connor and Huang Xiaoman's two agents did not quite understand Suxi's decision to go to New York.

Whether it's weather, business, investment, or even basketball, the Los Angeles Lakers are a better choice.

However, Sushi chose to jump into the Knicks' big dye vat.

The Knicks are now the league's super laughing stock, everyone thinks they are hopeless, Suhee may be able to improve some of the record, but if he is dragged into the dye vat, won't it be worth the loss?

However, if you don't understand, you don't understand, and the implementation aspect is not compromised.

Larry Bird has offered Suhi a multimillion-dollar contract with a starting salary of $17.23 million, and in theory, Suhi could even sign a seven-year, $156 million contract.

But Suhi only opted for a five-year, $105 million contract.

Then, the New York Knicks began to engage with the Indiana Pacers.

Suhi's words to Isaiah Thomas were: "Fulfill any request from the walkers." ”

Larry Bird said to Isaiah Thomas, "Who do you need to keep to help Jack?" ”

Isaiah Thomas said, "You can get whatever you want from us." ”

Harmony like never before.

This has never happened in the history of the NBA.

Frankly, the Knicks don't really have the players they need at the moment.

Moreover, Knicks players are generally inflated in their contracts. Stephen Marbury's annual salary of $16.45 million is considered a high-quality contract. In addition, they also have an Alan Houston who is not included in the salary cap, giving him $19.13 million a year. There is also Anfernee Hardaway, who has barely played on the injury list, who takes in $15.75 million a year.

plus a veteran forward, Antonio Davis, $13.93 million. In addition, the likes of Morris Taylor, Eddie Curry, Jamal Crawford, Shanton Anderson, Quentin Richardson, and Jerome Williams all have annual salaries of seven or eight million dollars.

That is, the New York Knicks have a lot of money, where can other teams afford it?

Eventually, they discussed and discussed.

The Pacers decided to go with Stephen Marbury, who was still in his prime, and he had the strength, even though he was trapped in the Knicks quagmire and his reputation had gone from being a son of New York to a scourge of New York.

Eventually, on the day the trade window opened, the Pacers and Knicks jointly announced the trade as happening.

The Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks reached a sign-and-trade deal. Suhi renewed his contract for $105 million over five years.

Subsequently, the Pacers traded Suhi, Tony Barty, Crohill, Derrick Anderson, and Bender to the New York Knicks.

The New York Knicks sent Stephen Marbury, Anfernee Hardaway to expiring contracts, and a 2007 first-round pick.

At the heart of the deal is Suhey for Marbury.

Because Hardaway was bought out before he could pass.

Similarly, the Knicks also bought out the contracts of Crohill, Anderson, and Bender at one time. Only Tony Bhatty, the protector of Subao, was left.

Tony Barty is now much more famous as a bodyguard than he is as a player.

Many commentators have said that Tony Barty used to help Sushi.

Because if Suhee had gone alone, he would not have been able to control the chaotic locker room at Madison Garden.

"I can't understand why Sushi the Sheep chose the Knicks, he obviously has a better choice. His best bet was to go to a mid-table team, a big city team, and with his help quickly became a strong contender for the championship. ”

"The Knicks can't bring him any positive assets, and if he wants to prove his ability to lead a team alone, he should at least go to a normal team."

"After Indiana got Marbury, they still have the strength to compete for the championship, and there is a good chance of three consecutive championships. But Suhee the Sheep joins the Knicks, and I can't think of what he's going to get? Playoff tickets? ”

"Reality will give this young defender a dismount."

“……”

After the deal was announced, public opinion was rampant.

Except for the New York fans who were partying, almost no one else understood Suhi's behavior.

Suhi is already a two-time Finals MVP, and he has no reason to be the leader of such a rotten team.

This will only blow itself up.

Larry Bird actually persuaded Suhee that he didn't think the Knicks were a good choice.

No one supported Suhee to go to the Knicks.

The Knicks suck.

Even his new teammate Eddie Curry is saying, "I wonder what Suhi the Sheep can change when he comes to the team?" ”

The Knicks are broken from the roots.

Unless all the players on this team are emptied and then rebuilt.

But with this group of players, which team is willing to take over?

"I'm finally out of the sea of suffering, even though it's a bit disrespectful for Knicks fans. But if you walk into the Knicks' locker room and you see the scene there for yourself, you'll believe in my sincerity at the moment. ”

"I'm thankful to Jack for his willingness to join the Knicks, and I hope he brings a new change to New York basketball."

"And I'm going to Indiana to chase my championship."

"Bless Jack, bless Nicks. Hope all is well. ”

Stephen Marbury wrote these words in his parting letter.

His words are filled with joy and longing.

For him, going to the Pacers was truly the greatest opportunity of his career. He just needs to follow Sushi's pace and be able to rush the aircraft carrier. Basketball experts also maintain optimistic expectations for him, because everyone does not think that Marbury's quality is much worse than Suhi.

As long as he can follow the rules, he may not be able to win the championship, or even the MVP of the finals.

In contrast, What does Suhee get from the Knicks?

When Marbury returned to New York, it was also welcomed by thousands of people, who wholeheartedly welcomed the return of the New York Sons and expected him to lead the team out of the quagmire.

It's exactly the same as it is now.

Will Suhi be able to break free from this cycle?
