: One thousand eight hundred and eighteen. What do logo men want to do?

"Ballmer wants to do things in New York!"
At this stage, the myth of the logo man is not so exaggerated. Although we have formed an OK combination, built the current Warriors, helped the Grizzlies enter the playoffs, and helped the Lakers create Kobe's second consecutive championship...
But it hasn't reached the point where it was touted in the original time and space, because the Warriors have not won the championship and the logo man has not helped the Clippers build a championship lineup. Originally, the logo man in time and space has helped the Clippers build a championship lineup. Only later did it become a god.
But in the uniforms of the NBA team, the ability of the logo man has always been recognized. Sun Ce doesn't know the details of the Nets poaching the logo man from the Warriors, but it is definitely nothing more than money.
If you want to transform the Nets, it is no less difficult than when Ellis took over the Warriors. In addition to money, Sun Ce couldn't think of Ballmer's way to dig back the logo man.
Sun Ce is not afraid that the logo men will build a strong team in the East. On the contrary, he hopes that there will be a stronger team, rich, big cities, good uniforms... Sun Ce looked at it, the Nets are still with Doug Rivers has renewed his contract! There is no doubt that this is a very good coach, similar to the Zen master. He can use it for his superstars. For example, he used Tracy McGrady and the Celtics Big Three before. Although chicken soup is his strongest method, Ability to use the star well.
Except for the lack of first-round picks and the inability to enjoy rookie bonuses, there were only two second-round picks from 15 to 2017. After Ballmer took over, the Nets became very promising.
Going to such a team, Sun Ce doesn’t worry about Larry Sanders anymore. He estimated that Doug Rivers would be able to make Lopez pull out and let Larry Sanders offensively. Bibing focuses on this kind of thing.
On the contrary, this fits Sun Ce's impression of the career trajectory of Lopez, who is losing weight and changing his style of play... It's really a coincidence.
...
"Brother, should I cut my salary for another year?"
"No need, that's 60 million! God knows if you can get it next year. If you get it first, isn't it good to get more than 30 million dollars? You have cut your salary for a year last year and have helped me a lot now. There is also a champion. Make the decision that is best for you. Think about Spreville back then. Now I don’t know where to play wild games to make money..."
At noon on the 27th, Larry Sanders, who reached a verbal agreement with the Nets, found Sun Ce and looked very hesitant.
Regarding this, Sun Ce and Bill Duffy have discussed, and they must support Larry Sanders to go to the Nets for the reason Sun Ce just said.
It’s very simple. A player of this type Larry Sanders may not play the ball after he is 30 years old. This summer, 27-year-old Larry Sanders signed a 1-point and 4-year long contract. Many teams may be willing , But 28 years old next year, it is estimated that not so many teams are willing to give long appointments.
Because Larry Sanders is not a player with continuity in size and style of play. Athletic ability is the most important part of Larry Sanders’ strength. All his strengths are based on excellent athletic ability. He doesn't even have the size of Jordan and Howard, otherwise the 27-year-old would not be as simple as 15 million.
Possibly, even if Larry Sanders in the original time and space did not give up basketball for the sake of art, his career life would be seven or eight years, which is actually quite long among the top players in the NBA.
To appease the fluctuating Larry Sanders, this is something Sun Ce has prepared since last summer. Regardless of the result of the season just ended, the new season will not allow Larry Sanders to continue to cut his salary. Otherwise, the conscience can't get through and people will follow you, but you can't catch them all the time.
And the Nets after Ballmer became the owner are also a good next home.

The Nets' drastic changes have attracted full attention, but the Nets' operations have nothing to do with this draft. This year, the Nets are just a second-round pick. They were in 15 and 17 years. The pick belongs to the Celtics.
On the afternoon of the 27th, Sun Ce flew to New York with the team. On the plane, he discussed draft matters with Chris Wallace, Coach Hollins, and Robert Pera.
This time he went to New York with the team to participate in the draft conference because he was going to participate in the sneaker conference in New York on June 30. In the past few days, even John has sent a team of lawyers to follow Bill Duffy’s negotiation team. Negotiating with Nike and AJ together is about new cooperation matters.
In terms of the team's draft, due to many reasons, it failed to complete the goal of exchanging three draft picks for the top ten picks, so the plan has changed now.
And also based on many complicated factors, their Grizzlies' free market expectations this year are very good!
This is very different from the situation after they won the championship for the first time in the summer of 2012. At that time, not many capable players thought they could complete the defense. The probability of a small city team defending was too low, even in the late 1980s. The Pistons, Detroit, where the Pistons were located at the time, were not small cities. On the contrary, Detroit was one of the richest cities in the United States at that time. Although there was a trend of decline at that time, the lean camel was bigger than the horse. , Not Memphis can compare.
But now is different. The Grizzlies have proven that they can complete the defense, and they have just played such a terrifying season, which is reminiscent of the OK Dynasty and the Jordan Dynasty.
There is also a long contract signed by Sun Ce, which gives many veterans a psychological guarantee. Even if the defending is unsuccessful, they can wait like Richard Jefferson and Stoudemire.
On the morning of the 28th, after Sun Ce discussed with the coaching staff and the management, the management made a decision.
At 10 am, the NBA officially announced that the Grizzlies used the 19th overall pick in the 2015 first round, the 28th overall pick in the 2015 first round, and the 2016 Raptors second-round pick, with three picks as a bargaining chip. , Won the 2016 top three picks of the Magic to protect the first-round pick.
As the Grizzlies’ 2016 first-round pick is not predictable, the Magic will not continue to be at the bottom next season. Oladipo’s strength is not bad, and he has made great progress in the past two years. Vucevic and Embiid are also highly anticipated. It is estimated that they will not get the top three picks. The Grizzlies want to get a high draft pick. This trade is considered a win-win because the Magic has accumulated talent. Enough, with a first-round mid-stage and a first-round tail draft pick that is very suitable.
Also, 2016 is a recognized draft year, and the Magic doesn't seem to suffer from this deal.
The Grizzlies left with the 22nd pick in the first round, which became the focus of discussion between the media and fans.
Since Chris Wallace became general manager, the Grizzlies have done very well in other drafts, except for the problem that the second pick has to be drafted inside. According to sources, the Grizzlies did not get the unprotected pick. It is because they are unwilling to replace the 28th with the 22nd pick. The Grizzlies have such a clear deal that the media think it must have a goal.
The 22nd pick, in this interval, is predicted to be the University of Kentucky power forward Trey Lyles, the template Carlos Boozer; the University of Louisville Terry Rozier, the template is Raymond -Felton; Sam Decker from the University of Wisconsin, the template is Gordon Hayward...
Seeing that his own team left with the 22nd overall pick, several rookies who participated in the draft soared from the middle and late stages of the first round to the middle and early stages of the first round. Sun Ce was unable to complain.
As soon as their trading news came out, the media immediately followed up and reported that some teams re-collected the information of the players they left behind with the 22nd pick from the Grizzlies. Sun Ce finally knew the difficulties of his team.
I also understand why many championship-level teams, especially those that rise by the draft, are not so interested in draft picks that are not high or low, and prefer to go to the last round of the first round or the second round. Give it a go for those very single-function players.
Everyone is staring at them!
Fortunately, after discussing with the team, Sun Ce didn't use the picks within the prediction range to gamble on luck, but directly left the picks with higher picks.
Let those people guess it!
It’s only a few hours before the draft ~EbookFREE.me~ to see what those people can play.
...
On the day of the draft, the Grizzlies disturbed the draft market in the first half of the first round, but after all, the Grizzlies were just a first-round pick with the 22nd overall pick, and the real turmoil was not that big.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the draft was opened at the Barclays Center in New York.
This year's draft was placed on the Nets' home court because the Madison Square Garden arena needs to be renovated. The arena is too old and will be renovated every few years to eliminate safety hazards.
Sun Ce came to the draft at this time for the first time since he participated in the draft. Although he changed a stadium... But the feeling of nostalgia was spontaneously felt. He suddenly discovered that it was all six years ago.
After David Stern finished his opening speech in a boo as usual, he returned to the backstage and waited. Three minutes later, David Stern returned to the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the 2015 NBA Draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected with the first overall pick in the first round... Karl-Anthony Towns from the University of Kentucky."
There is no doubt that whoever gets the No. 1 pick will choose Towns, the talent is there.
In the three minutes between the drafts, Sun Ce was guessing who the Celtics would choose. It seemed that everyone was suitable. The young Celtics coach Stevens was good at team play.
At this moment, the big screen on the scene switched to the auxiliary stage next to him, and Sun Ce immediately looked at the big screen. This situation meant that the deal was coming!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Nets used Mason Plumley, Carmelo Anthony, and the Rockets and Celtics to complete a three-way deal and get the second pick in the first round."
"Well, what do the Nets want to do?"
