"I want to see how much you have grown me in these two years."
"Now many people say that Kevin, Dakota, Paul and Rajon and even JJ have grown hugely with your help. I also want them to see my progress."
"I can clearly feel that my strength has reached the top, but I don't know what level my peaking strength will reach."
In the yard of the Villa Yez, looking at the bright moon above his head, David Lee smiled.
"And, I also want to know, in the world of basketball, how fateful I have been to have been changed by you."
"Yes, will you bless me?"
Yes looked at the forceful smile on David Lee's face, and finally nodded quietly.
"meeting."
"I knew it would be like this. The guy at Tucker also threatened me that Yes would definitely beat me this ungrateful guy. He just wanted to keep me and continue..."
David Li, who wanted to say something, finally didn't go on, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Yes......"
"Thank you for not keeping me."
"You don't want me to stay."
"Not wanting, but afraid."
are you afraid……
looked at the smile on David Lee's face again.
Looking at the complex figure of David Lee when he left, Yesi closed his eyes.
And David Lee, who had walked out of the villa of the Yes family, looked at the moon above him again, clearly the same moon, but the scenery was completely different...
"I really want to see where is the limit you have given me, my god..."
David Lee left Seattle, and the next time he came back, his identity was no longer that of the Seattle SuperSonics.
David Lee applied to the team after bidding farewell to Yes.
David Lee's current contract is a rookie contract of 4.5 million US dollars for 4 years, and the contract has the last year of the next season.
As a rookie at the end of the first round, the achievements that can appear in the NBA in three seasons are quite amazing in the history of the NBA.
As the main force last season, David Lee averaged two double figures per game.
This season as the main force, David Lee can still get two double figures per game.
Even as a substitute, his stats are still excellent. On the stage of the playoffs, his comprehensiveness also amazes many people.
His trading value is great in the current alliance.
Many teams are willing to accept such an important member of the championship team, not to mention that this important member is only 25 years old.
David Lee's will to leave the supersonic is very firm.
He did not hide the reason why he wanted to leave.
did not hide his reasons from the team's general manager Presti and the team's head coach Nelson.
So after knowing David Lee's plan for his future.
Even without Yees' intervention, Presti and Old Nelson were willing to achieve David Lee's purpose.
David Lee wants to go to other teams to realize his value. Old Nielsen supports it.
Because David Lee's starting position was given to Millsap.
Originally, David Lee could realize his personal value at Seattle Supersonics.
But in the end, his starting position was replaced by Millsap.
After being replaced by Millsap, David Lee did not have any complaints. He is still the team's most gentleman, the most polite and the one who laughs the most...
For such a player, old Nielsen has a hard time bearing him as a bargaining chip, although he is only a role player destined to be a bargaining chip.
Presti is willing to meet David Lee's request is not like the old Nelson, and David Lee have very deep feelings.
But there are many teams interested in David Lee, and there are many teams willing to position David Lee for important roles. In this case, why should he make Yes and Old Nelson unhappy?
is just to be a favored one.
Young insiders with data achievements and abilities like David Lee really don’t worry about maximizing benefits.
After David Lee applied for the transaction, Presti's direction of operation changed.
Prestige's direction of operation has always been to lobby Kwame Brown and the team who signed the contract this season to sign and then change, and use the 28th sign that Kwame Brown and Supersonics already had to exchange for a lottery.
This transaction does not require lotto lottery, thirteen or fourteen, or even fifteen or sixty.
This is James Harden's draft prospect range.
Although James Harden did not participate in the rookie training camp of other teams and was buried in Seattle, James Harden performed quite well in the NCAA this year.
Putting the ten-year-old fish belly team Arizona State University into the NCAA tournament, coupled with his excellent NCAA stats, and his first-year college status, it can be said that as long as his draft pick does not appear significant Injuries can always be backed.
Even if he holds in Seattle now and does not go to other places, he has become an unknown person, but no matter how unknown, he is not completely unknown.
Although his test results at the Seattle training camp were poor, he was always worried about robberies.
From Presti's point of view, the lottery edge is enough to pick James Harden, and Kwame Brown and the first round of the 28th pick are also enough to trade a lottery sign.
But things are not that simple.
Kwame Brown came from the Lakers to the Supersonics and performed very well, becoming Millsap's most qualified backup. Defensively, offense is also possible under Yes' pass.
Even in the regular season Kwame Brown had been given a 30+20 performance by Yes.
For Kwame Brown, many teams are very interested, especially those on the edge of the playoffs, their draft picks are not good enough to be the core players in the future, and they need immediate power, For these teams, it is appropriate to use such a tasteless pick for Kwame Brown, which can give the team a huge improvement in combat effectiveness.
After being opened by Yes, it might be another Milicic!
Milicic is the leader, Kwame Brown is still the champion!
What's more, Kwame Brown is not old now, only 26 years old.
Even Kwame Brown felt that he still had a future, and was confident that he would not be a substitute for Milicic.
It's just that although the two teams agree on the operation of signing and then changing, there is no reason for such a good operation, and there are players.
Kwame Brown is a completely free agent. If Seattle Supersonics is willing to give him a suitable contract extension, and then send him to the team where he can be the starting core, he certainly is willing.
is just a reward for Yes and Supersonic.
However, if you need to pay a high price for Kwame Brown, and also guarantee his starting, why should I trade with you Seattle Supersonics?
also give away his draft picks?
Am I stupid?
I directly use this requirement to attract Kwame Brown to avoid the visa, isn't it good?
These teams willing to get Kwame Brown are willing to trade their own picks, hoping that the Supersonics can sign a low-cost contract with Kwame Brown, and do not need to make too many commitments.
This year's salary cap has soared. If you get a Kwame Brown that may have a quasi-all-star level at a low price, do you not need to sign an All-Star with a big contract?
It's just obvious that Presti and Supersonic couldn't do such a thing.
Kwame Brown's heart is on the lighting month, how can the moon really shine on the ditch?
Besides, Presti is not stupid. He really did such a thing, and Kwame Brown's affection for the supersonic speed was gone. He didn't get anything in the end.
Again, Kwame Brown is a completely free agent who can control his own destiny.
So be extremely careful when handling, you must continue to play slowly.
The interests of the three parties benefit from both parties. Of course, the third party that suffers most is Kwame Brown.
Presti spent a long time in Kwame Brown's signing and then changing, and finally there was no result.
After David Lee’s application for the transaction was submitted, Presti’s focus of work changed.
When Prestige's focus of work was removed from Kwame Brown, it was basically officially announced that Kwame Brown was free to choose the team himself.
Without paying for supersonic and Yes cultivation, Kwame Brown was relieved, but at the same time...
"Kwame, are you okay?"
When left Seattle, the agent was very excited.
This year's salary cap has soared, Kwame has made a price, and without the shackles of Yes and supersonic, all this means money!
is just...
Kwame seems not so happy...
"Kwame, I know you want to stay in Seattle, and I hope you can stay in Seattle, but..."
"Kwame, Seattle's starting center will always be Milicic, you are still young, you can have a higher pursuit."
"I know."
Finally, Kwame Brown glanced at Seattle behind him reluctantly, and boarded the plane to the distance.
"Goodbye, Seattle, goodbye, Yes..."
When an inside player with strength and potential such as David Lee entered the trading market, the entire trading market was smashed by David Lee, a huge rock.
This year's draft conference, the biggest protagonist is Yes Derek Ross.
Now the eyes of the world are staring at the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat, and the world is staring at what the Chicago Bulls can do for this Chicago Yes.
It is rumored that the big show has been completed, but the draft conference has not started, it has not ended.
Obviously, the Chicago Bulls hope that this big show has been completed, and they are not willing to continue to be late by Pat Riley with a knife.
But obviously, Patrielli's greed, how could he let go of any value of the Chicago Bulls?
He continues to squeeze the value of the Bulls. As long as he thinks of the draft conference, Derrick Rose is still waiting for the Chicago Bulls to call, Chicago will have to be squeezed by Pat Riley.
So, ESPN has investigated which city hates the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors the most, not Seattle, which is being robbed by the Celtics and Raptors, but Chicago, which is now being robbed by Pat Riley...
Things are so dramatic.
The Heat, the two teams of the Bulls are now the most concerned team, and the Mavericks and the Clippers of the Huanhua show who won the top spot are the teams that are followed.
Beasley is currently struggling with his final struggle, but Mayo has actually accepted his destiny and has completed the trial training for the Mavericks and Clippers. As for the result... Mayo started the trial training for the Warriors again.
The Warriors are the fourth overall pick in this year's draft.
At the same time, the Warriors are now the third-tier team.
The fourth-placed Warriors, sixth-placed New York Knicks, seventh-placed Nets These teams determine the future of Westbrook and Affallo and Love.
As for the fifth overall pick, it is the Chicago Bulls who are now being robbed.
In addition to these teams, the remaining teams, in fact, their rank value is not so great.
This year's best rookies are these, and the rest of the rookies add up not as high as any of these rookies.
So the rest of the lottery teams, such as the eighth-ranked Bucks, ninth-ranked Bobcats, tenth-ranked King, eleventh-ranked Cavaliers, twelfth-ranked Timberwolves, tenth The three-ranked Jazz and the fourteenth-ranked Blazers are similar.
These lottery teams are not the same as those in the previous team that tightly cover their picks. These teams can be traded for draft picks.
And David Lee is very valuable to some of these teams.
For example, the ninth-placed Bobcats are eager for David Lee. In these seasons, with Jordan’s draft operation, Byrd Adam Morrison’s complete watering and Gerald Wallace’s defection last year, the Bobcats urgently need. A four position, a core four position with good ability and potential.
David Lee is one of the best choices. He is a player from the University of Florida. The head coach of the University of Florida, Donovan, is known as Larry Brown of the NCAA. David Lee’s defensive ability is not strong. UU reads www.www. uukanshu.com but the attitude is excellent.
There is also the tenth king, and the eleventh knight is very interested in David Lee.
In addition to these teams, another team interested in David Lee is even more exciting for Presti.
"Warriors coach Mark Jackson is very interested in David Lee!"
"We may get the fourth overall pick this year!"
Because of Mark Jackson’s huge interest in David Lee, Presti was excited to convene a conference of supersonic giants.
Prestige was excited at the meeting, and Yesi looked at it.
Yes knew why Presti was so excited.
James Harden is the first goal of the Supersonics this year.
But that's because the supersonics can only get James Harden at most.
Prestige's favorite is the disciple of his friend Affallo, the turtle boy, Westbrook...
Fourth place, Westbrook can be selected...
It was just that Presti's excitement went out the day before the draft.
On June 26, 2008, the Warriors announced that they had invited Grizzly General Manager Jerry West as the team’s senior advisor.
On the same day, the Warriors withdrew their interest in David Lee. .
On the same day, there was a rumor that the Warriors coach Mark Jackson had applied to resign.
With Jerry West joining the Warriors, even if Yesi is still trying to lose weight, you can feel that the entire league has made huge ripples!
