NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 405
The Suns used the first-round pick from the 76ers to win Ibaka. The outside world is no longer surprised that they dare to choose players who play in Europe, because the Suns have precedents.

As for whether to directly buy out and bring the NBA, the Suns have a lot of money and can consider it.

The Supersonics had the No. 20 pick in the first round. The Suns still have a lot of choices, because there are some good players in the second round. The Suns can choose Batum, George Hill, Dragic and others.

On the back line, the Suns can indeed add something. After all, they can choose Jordan with the 30th pick, so there is no shortage of insiders.

Or, the jack of all trades option is the third position, and Batum can play both offensive and defensive ends.

Now on the team side, Korver, Tony Allen, Ariza, and Hill are all facing the issue of contract renewal. Ellis only has the last year, and the Suns will send him away.

In the deal with the Knicks, the Suns may take over Randolph, so Millsap may also be sent away.

In this case, in fact, the Suns have to add a lot of people, and the front and defense lines are somewhat short of people.

Russell still hopes that the team will keep Ariza, and it should be used after several years of training. Whether it is Durant's substitute or a small lineup with Durant, it is more effective, but he is also worried that someone will raise the price.

After careful consideration, Russell feels that it is safest to choose a striker. Dragic may be even stronger, but the Suns can actually win it through a trade if they want it.

Moreover, the Suns only need a backup guard, and Barea is enough for the time being.

So they took Batum with the 20th pick, and chose a player who played in the European League.

With their own No. 30 pick, there is no suspense. The Suns chose DeAndre Jordan.

With the 60th pick, the Suns selected outside pitcher Anthony Morrow.

Russell is quite satisfied with this draft, at least don't worry too much about the inside problem.

In the following season, the Suns' interior defense will no longer be a weak link.

There were some trades on draft night, but no big news yet.

When the trading day officially opened, the Suns and the Knicks broke out shocking deals.

The real shocking deal is even hotter than last summer. Last summer, the Suns sent away two All-Stars, but this time it was Russell's best partner Stoudemire, who has not yet returned to the All-Stars.

The outside world generally believes that the Suns are floating. They did not defend their title last season, because Russell and Stoudemire's super pick-and-roll is still there, and they took the initiative to dismantle this combination. The operation of the Suns is incomprehensible.

However, some people pointed out that because the Knicks' high-priced contract poached Suns coach D'Antoni, Stoudemire came here with his mentor D'Antoni, and the Suns really disintegrated this time.

Russell saw what he said this time, hehe, he and Ray Allen are still there, Durant is growing rapidly, Gasol Jr. has adapted to the league, will they be worse?
The specific content of this transaction is Stoudemire plus Ellis, for the Knicks' Randolph and Crawford, plus the Knicks three first-rounders.

D'Antoni went over and was about to clean Randolph and Crawford, and the sun also helped.

Because of this, and D'Antoni's true love for Stoudemire, he paid three first rounds.

He is looking forward to the pick-and-roll cooperation between Ellis and Stoudemire. Although it is certainly not as easy to use as the pick-and-roll between Russell and Stoudemire, it should also be full of attack power.

The sun was about to come to Randolph, and the legendary black and white bears actually came to the sun to escort Russell.

In this case, next season, the Suns will have Russell, Ray Allen, Durant on the outside, Randolph and Gasol on the inside, and Crawford on the bench.

In terms of contract renewal, the Suns only kept Ariza for 5 years and 3500 million.

Korver and Hill were taken by the Knicks. The Knicks felt the same as the Sonics last season, as if they were rebuilt directly with the Suns players.

The Supersonics don't feel like a loss, so the Knicks also brought the famous coach D'Antoni, and the outside world is still more optimistic. They think that the Suns have purely fulfilled D'Antoni, but they don't know that the Suns are still so powerful.

As for Tony Allen, he went to the Rockets.

Subsequently, the Sun sent Millsap to the Bobcats in exchange for Dudley and a first rounder.

In this case, the Suns' lineup for the new season has taken shape again.

Perhaps, they can also attract one or two veterans who hope to win the championship.

As for these, Russell doesn't need to care, he is communicating with his teammates in the national team.

"Russell, let's play another game." Kobe asked Russell to single out, with high spirits.

"LeBron, if you lose the shooting contest, you have to treat yourself..." Someone teased James.

"If you have the ability to make a three-pointer in the middle of the field, who will do it?" Russell yelled.

In the training of the national team, heads-up is a daily enjoyable event, and this group of animals is also good at this aspect.

And they found that it was much easier to beat Russell heads-up than on the court.

Russell is actually very good in heads-up, but he can't win every game, so everyone hopes that he will participate.

Is it fun to defeat this invincible man?

"When we arrive in Huaxia, I will treat you to a big meal." Russell said with a smile to the others.

This time the national team is full of young people, and everyone has become familiar with it very quickly. Russell treats generously and has already won the friendship of many people.

Soon, the time for the Olympics came, and Russell and everyone set off for China.

On the other side, Nora and the Russell family also went to China to watch the Olympics with their family.

After the game, Russell will take his family to have fun.

When they came to China, Russell and Kobe were warmly welcomed by the fans.

James, Wade, Anthony, Paul, Howard and others can only follow behind with envy.

Because of Russell's appearance, the most popular player in China is no longer Kobe, but him.

"When will I be popular with Boss Russell." Howard sighed.

A group of talented young American players, all looking forward to it.

The lineup is extremely luxurious, but if they lose again, the US team will not look good.

But that's impossible. With Russell's family, the US team, which was originally the most powerful, is even more powerful.

"Let's go, I'll take you to win the Olympic gold medal." Russell pretended.

But there was no sense of disobedience in this than what he pretended. In the following games, he continued to send out assists, and the US team won every game. It felt like dreaming back to Jordan's time and restoring the glory of the real dream team.

No way, when your teammates are Kobe, James, Anthony, Howard, and Wade, Paul, Bosh and other players on the bench, winning is really easy.

In the final, the U.S. team played against Spain. Russell beat the Suns teammates hard and led the team to victory with a triple-double.

With the achievement of the Olympic gold medal, Russell feels that his life is complete, and the next summer can finally be completely used for vacation.

Of course, life is more than basketball.

Russell looked at Nora beside him, his lower abdomen was already slightly bulging.

In a few months, his son will be born.

After returning to Phoenix this time, he and Nora will also hold a wedding.

Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for.
