Forward to the basket

Starting from Seattle, hooking up in Los Angeles, and then Angie had to go to Miami. If possible, Angie really wanted to put all the big fish and small fish that he was going to catch in Boston into one net.

It was only a short stay in Los Angeles, but he stayed in Miami for a week. In order to take away another tough role that the team needs from here, Ainge has racked his brains and paid a high price.

Even the old guy in Los Angeles didn't let Angie take out that many years of salary from his pocket, but in the eyes of Thibodeau and Rivers, this deal is absolutely worth it, the price is definitely not expensive, it is quite a high price-performance .

And when Angie was still hesitating whether to continue, it was Rivers who firmly said that the guy must be dealt with, which would make the team's defensive ability a higher level, don't care about the price now!

"Hell, you don't have to worry about controlling the team's cap space, so you don't care."

Angie doesn't know what these two guys think. Anyway, as the team's big steward, his only feeling is that the salary space has been reduced, and the remaining bench players must be selected with high quality and low price.

If a ruthless character who can only be settled with a middle-class clause is accidentally added, then Angie will have a big head.

Otherwise, after the transfer period is over, the owner of the Celtics will have to talk to Angie, the manager. The luxury tax is definitely a killer. Boston is not New York, and there is no such thing as James Dolan here.

The New York Knicks can afford a salary of nearly [-] million. Boston doesn't have such a prodigal way to spend money, not to mention that the team's owner will not be so invested. Dolan doesn't care about money, but Vic Grosbeck does.

In any case, paying tens of millions of luxury taxes in order to supplement the lineup is a move that is not worth the candle.

Unless there's a new owner and he desperately needs a champion to stock his locker, there's no such thing as a lunatic, Boston never did that, and Angie doesn't want to start that one.

Airplanes, hotels, these have almost become the most crowded things in the first two months of Anji's holiday. The more difficult problem is that the quality of the stewardess is really poor. She has no breasts, no waist, no buttocks, and even her face is extremely ugly.

Anji even lamented, how many sins must have committed to get this kind of treatment?Two months!It's just that I didn't meet a Kong sister who could catch my eye!And she slept in a double bed room in the hotel, and she didn't come to hook up with her!

When this guy crawled back from Miami and seduced a circle of big fish and small fish that he liked, when he returned to Boston, Angie's wife felt that he was about to transform, and the first thing she did when she met him was to fall

He's in his 40s, what a man with restraint, he can't live without life for nearly two months, and when he makes a phone call, he hears Rivers playing with his wife and children on the beach, surrounded by girls The laughter, how exciting this is, Angie even vowed that if it continues to be like this next year, I will stop doing it!

In particular, Angie showed up in the Boston office the next morning with his waist supported. Looking at his embarrassed expression, one can imagine how fierce the battle was last night. Of course, he is now a wounded soldier.

However, it is precisely because of this guy's rush and busyness that the Boston Celtics' several player transactions may be the first to start, and then the fastest to move, far exceeding the progress of other teams.

Most people's eyes are still focused on the big wave of the new draft, but Boston's actions have already begun.

In fact, there are a few time slots in the nba in each season that are the most eye-catching, especially when David Stein's global plan is launched, you really rarely encounter nba news outages.

Whenever there is no news about the NBA for several days, it is estimated that there is something wrong with Stein.

However, the most eye-catching time points are only three or four. Every year, the playoffs, the finals, and the All-Star Game. After that, there is the NBA draft. The regular season is more like a warm-up process.

The theater at Madison Square Garden ushered in the 07 draft as scheduled, but this time Danny Ainge did not appear on behalf of the Celtics. He was busy getting more deals before the transfer market opened. optional.

Just like what Rivers said when browsing the rookie lists, this draft is definitely a big draft year, with no shortage of big men or scorers, and it is far more attractive than last year.

At least there won't be another parallel importer-like No. [-] pick. Whether Oden is elected or Durant wins the crown, even Horford's potential may be more suitable for mixing in the NBA than last year's Italian.

The choice of international players has always been like this, either they are seedlings who can become superstars like Nowitzki, or they are just like Bargnani, who have mixed for a season, and then no matter how you look at it, they are all parallel imports.

But this time, Angie doesn't have to worry about it. Although he holds the traded draft pick and can pick someone in the top five or six positions, he is destined to be traded before the candidate is finalized.

Even if a potential stock is really selected, Angie just has more bargaining chips on the negotiating table. What the team needs now is not rejuvenation, nor rebuilding. What the Celtics need most is supplementary experience.

"Using the top draft picks to trade is far more practical than taking another gamble. You can't guarantee that a guy like Chen Feng will be selected every time." This is the draft strategy that Angie has already determined before.

Whatever the Seattle Supersonics want now, Ainge will choose whatever they want, get a rookie, and then bundle them up for a trade.

In addition, the Sonics also hold the No. [-] pick. Whether it is Oden or Durant, as long as they can get one, this is the cornerstone of the team's reconstruction. These rookie seedlings are far more important than the top-salary stars.

The appeal is the appeal. After all, the rebuilding process may last for one or two seasons, so whether there are big-name stars in charge, whether there is a box office guarantee, is not as worth investing as a potential stock.

Moreover, the relocation of the Sonics is imminent. Establishing a new idol and a new team in the new city is the most important thing for them now. Keeping the superstar can only make people miss the days in Seattle even more.

The new owner of the team is good no matter who he is, and he doesn't want what he sacrificed in exchange for nostalgia for the past. Instead of doing that, it's better to clean the team thoroughly and start over from scratch.

Anyway, a team that migrated to Seattle really doesn't need to leave any imprint here. Whether it's players or fans, it's best to remember that they are a complete rookie in the NBA.

Of course, all of this is just a rumor on the market, and it has not been fully confirmed yet, but it is no secret that the lawsuits and disputes between the supersonic boss Schultz and the next boss Bennett have long been known.

It's just that there will be a stalemate for a while about the team's $7500 million in compensation, but Seattle fans also know that no matter how hard they struggle, the desire to keep the Sonics first is gradually being shattered.

It cannot be said that the history of the Seattle SuperSonics is not strong enough. The cities that can have the golden combination of Kemp and Payton are, after all, the backbone of the league, and they reached their peak in the 90s.

Although they failed to win the championship at the time, the Supersonics were not the kind of small characters who lacked superstars or had an extremely thin history. Their presence in the West has always been strong, and their competitiveness is also in the upper reaches.

But after Payton and the others left, the team showed a sharp decline. Even if there were superstars in the team, it seemed that there was less energy to fight for life, and then confidence began to collapse.

The bad results and poor performance for years made Schultz no longer have any idea of ​​persistence. If someone takes over, he is naturally happy to see the team can still cash out, but he doesn't want to be charged with betraying the team.

As for Bennett, a complete businessman, he took the team away from Seattle, that is, to open up new markets, completely erase the traces of the Seattle Supersonics, and turn it into a new team .

As for the dispute between Schultz and Bennett, it was nothing more than stumbling each other. Many people can understand that Schultz no longer cares whether the team can stay in Seattle. His era is doomed to end, and it has nothing to do with him as to where the new owner can take the team.

Moreover, Schultz will not let go easily if he can sell for an extra dollar. As for how long this dispute can last, it depends on the mood of both parties. As for the future of the team, it may only be known when all the dust settles.

However, the only thing that is certain is that the team is destined to choose to rebuild this summer. No matter whether the boss is replaced or not, the reconstruction is already on the verge of completion. Anyway, they were messing around last season.

Summer is coming, and more people are planning to escape from the Sonics, rather than staying and starting to fight.

Using tree to hozen scatter to describe the current Seattle SuperSonics may be the most appropriate word.

This is a world where capital is king, let alone tradition, history, or loyalty. Since Stein took over the NBA, all of these have been gradually disintegrated, and then swept into the trash can little by little.

David Stein is definitely a qualified businessman. He understands how to maximize the interests of the alliance, but at the same time, his actions are also throwing some so-called loyalty far away from sight.

Even Auerbach said in private that the current nba only sees green dollars, is it humane?This thing has long since disappeared. Fans just bought tickets to watch the performance, but they lacked a sustenance.

Even Boston, the seat of an ancient dynasty, seems a bit out of place in the current NBA. There are no cheerleaders, no girls in short skirts who twist their buttocks and waist, and always feel different from other places.

But with Auerbach in charge, it is estimated that no one will change the status quo in a short period of time, even though that kid Chen Feng would chatter with the cardinal if he had nothing to do, he has no girls, no motivation, no white thighs, he really has no drive.

But Boston can be regarded as a typical example of being able to maintain its own tradition in the NBA. However, compared with Los Angeles or New York, the revenue here is obviously lagging behind the other party, not to mention commercial development.

If it wasn't for an eye-catching guy like Chen Feng coming out this season, maybe their box office revenue and team uniform sales would still be in the lower reaches of the NBA. This is the situation of sticking to tradition.

At the beginning, Auerbach was able to knock down the team owner by relying on the clamor of players and fans. If these things are viewed now, it is completely a legendary story like an Arabian Nights, and it can only be a story.

The team owner now holds the power of life and death. He felt that O'Neill could not be reused, so he let him go immediately. He felt that the old Nelson was not a champion. He was still supporting him on the first day, and let the other party pack up and get out the next day. , This is the power of capital. The so-called loyalty is all his nonsense in front of banknotes.

The Sonics only need rookies, and they look forward to the freshmen after rebuilding, but the requirements of the Celtics are simpler. Angie and Rivers consider the benefits of experience, especially playoff experience.

After a season of polishing, the abilities of Chen Feng and Rondo can no longer be ignored. Whether it is Rondo's control of rhythm and assists, there has been a qualitative leap, especially this kid is very suitable for the Celtics' traditional team structure. A system that is suitable for players to develop their abilities within the framework, the most needed thing here is selflessness.

Of course, just for defenders, Rondo's assist ability and average turnover rate are top-notch.

The only thing he lacks is experience, and his shooting is a bit bad. Besides, his overall view and sense of coordination are very strong, and he is far better able to adapt to the survival state of the NBA than the average rookie.

It may take three to four seasons for a general guard to enter maturity, but Rondo has skipped this long process. In one season, this kid who looks like a husband and wife with et has already established his main position.

And Rivers has determined that even if the guard needs to be adjusted, no matter who comes, Rondo will be put on the starting list. This kid has become an important cornerstone of the Celtics' resurgence.

Most importantly, the cooperation between Rondo and Chen Feng has every chance to replicate the great partners in history.

Just like what Murphy said, if these two guys can play more proficiently in the pick-and-roll, they can definitely consider creating a pair of Malone and Stockton exclusive to Boston, becoming a new black and white double evil.

But Auerbach hoped that they would become a pair like Cousy and Russell, one was in charge of control, the other was in charge of suppression, and Chen Feng was more aggressive than Russell.

But now these two boys are still very eye-catching in the playoffs, but the handling of some key balls is still a bit rough, and facing top point guards, Rondo is sometimes at a disadvantage.

Like the confrontation with the Pistons, Rondo was suppressed in the confrontation with Billups, and the average turnover rate per game has also risen sharply. If he can maintain his consistent regular season level, maybe the final result will have to be adjusted.

So after the end of the season, when Rivers and Angie were discussing the team's draft and future framework construction, what he emphasized was to adjust the team's age structure to be more reasonable.

You can't just have the new generation who are full of drive like Chen Feng and Rondo. The middle generation like Pierce must also have a certain thickness. They don't need to be superstars, but they must have strong competitiveness and the ambition to win the championship.

Another supplementary direction is the veteran. Don't care how old these guys are, as long as he can play and fight with young people, that's fine. Sprewell is actually the best example. Now who dares to say he is old?

Whether it's the end of the season or the playoffs, as long as Sprewell is on the court, no matter who is facing him, this guy's old defensive experience and ruthless defensive skills at critical moments are all Celtics. The key supporter who can make it all the way to the second round of the Eastern Conference, Webber's situation is almost the same.

It's just that Weber is more focused on supporting and scoring on the offensive end, which belongs to the axis of pinching the inside offense, while Sprewell's most terrible thing is his tough defense and his shooting ability at critical moments.

With these two old guys leading the way in front, the gang of wild boys in the back can kill so recklessly. Now Rivers wants to strengthen the veteran link, at least one or two more.

The Celtics have struggled for a season, and they are no longer the team that rose from the ashes.

Therefore, the goal of next season is naturally to point directly to the higher goal of the playoffs. Even Rivers knows that even he must become more experienced, and adding a few veterans is also the best choice.

Different appeals have different goals, so Angie's thoughts are all spent on the targets that may be traded. He has no plans to set foot again in the draft, which is a place where people compete for character and luck.

But without the involvement of the Celtics, the draft will still be the focus of attention. Every year, a group of rookies will be killed here. Some of them will always become stars, and some will become shooting stars.

But no matter what happened next, at least that night at Madison Garden, they were the most dazzling.

Especially those few lucky ones who won the No. [-] pick, No. [-], and No. [-] picks have a chance to rise to the top. Regardless of how they fare in the future, at least on draft night, they are well-deserved protagonists.

Angie was happy to sit on the hill and watch the tigers fight. He hoped that those guys would break their heads in order to grab these rookies. Regardless of whether it was worth grabbing, it had nothing to do with the Celtics. All they could do was just watch.

Greg Oden's unsurprising No. [-] pick was successfully won by the recently unlucky Trail Blazers.

And Kevin Durant is destined to become Seattle's first choice, and Horford also joined the Atlanta Hawks.

The Celtics picked Jeff Green, who was optimistic before, without any suspense, but his role is not to come to Boston to show his extraordinary ability, but to prepare to pack up and go directly to Seattle.

What the draft has spawned is a new atmosphere, and what is contained in it may be a new pattern.

The drama of the draft is in full swing, but the hands of the Celtics have already begun to knock on the door of the transfer market. The rookies are left to you to select, and what we want to deal with is a bunch of guys like animals...
