Chapter 494: A deal with the sun

It has been some time since Okur was put on the shelf by the Pistons, and the Suns are about to hook.
When the Suns heard that Richard had initially reached a deal with the Blazers, he was anxious like an ant on the hot pot.
They are so eager for Okur...
The current situation of the Sun is very obvious. There is a lack of inside players. Once they are caught by two decent inside players, their lineup is almost taken off.
Putting it in the western part of the strong like cloud may even kill the upper half of the western part.
At this point in time, the team on the west side is simply ridiculously strong...
Needless to say, the Spurs, Lakers and Trail Blazers have all stayed strong for many years. Think of the Western Conference showdowns in the past five years, all of which are produced by these three teams.
In addition to these three teams, the Kings and Timberwolves have also reached the glory period of their team history. This may be the most glorious point in their team history, and their strength is naturally quite weak.
Such five teams dominate the west, and other teams want to show up, it is too difficult, too difficult...
The Suns can't help it now, they can only fight for their help. Otherwise, when the team's star contract expires, the Suns may sink forever if they don't renew the contract.
Now Oku is their best choice, none of them!
In today's league, in addition to Richard, other teams get players like Okur. Who can handle it?
This is an inside player with good strength and potential. He can be both inside and outside, and his defense is not bad. His offense is also awesome. This is a high-quality inside who can't find a lantern.
Only a fool is willing to let go...
And Richard is obviously not a fool, mainly because he can use inside players, there are too many.
In the 2003 draft, Richard was able to get some good players, of course, there must be high-quality inside players. It doesn't make much sense to keep Okur. It is harmless to harm others. It is better to train Boozer.
...
Under the eagerness of the sun right now, he directly provided the conditions for Richard to open casually, and they bargained at their discretion.
Richard was naturally welcome, and directly asked Joe Johnson plus their Suns' first round pick in 2003 plus a second round pick.
The Sun management was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Richard would only need a less noticeable Joe Johnson when he was old-fashioned.
Singles Joe is really not very good in the Suns. Although it is also mixed in the starting position, there is hardly any sense of presence on the field...
The ball is naturally in the hands of Erma, Marbury and Marion...
Even if these two people split the ball, it is estimated that it is also divided into pennies, rarely consider single Joe.
The key point is that Joe's shooting percentage is currently quite low, with a combined shooting percentage of less than 40%. Even if he is a player who plays outside, it is really unreasonable.
So at the first look Richard just asked for a singles Joe, the Sun management directly opened the flowers, which is a kind of warmth act!
As for the offer for the first round and the second round, the Suns were somewhat entangled.
Some are reluctant...
But think about the fact that they can't get any high draft picks. If Richard asks for it, it's up to him.
Anyway, this deal can't be done, and the Suns can't look lost anyway.
The Suns don't have a bad idea, but this season they are going to hit the playoffs, so the value of the pick must not be much higher.
Right now they are ranked eighth in the west, and if Okur is here, maybe the rankings can still be squeezed up...
In that case, Richard may only get the 20th overall pick in the first round, not a particularly precious bargaining chip.
As for the second round of signing, in the eyes of the Sun, it is pure tasteless...
The bottom of the second round is still in order, and there is a gross value.
...
Richard did not expect that the Suns had agreed so neatly.
Originally his main goal was singles Joe plus a first round pick, that second round pick was just for bargaining...
Unexpectedly, Sun didn't even pay back the price. Without saying a word, he agreed to the deal, but it made Richard feel a little hurt.
It seems that I still underestimated the degree of these teams' desire for high-quality insiders. As long as I know this, I should ask for a second round.
It is estimated that the Suns will definitely grind their teeth and agree.
At present, the transaction between the two parties is basically finalized. Richard feels that he needs to have a good chat with Oku. He can't say that he can't let people go without a notice.
Early the next morning, Okur waited early in front of Richard's office.
"Good morning, coach." Seeing Richard came, Okur quickly said hello.
Richard nodded, "Come in and talk."
"I said straight away, we had a deal with the Suns two days ago."
"Maybe after the official announcement in these two days, you have to go to the Suns to report."
Hearing this, Oku had some sadness on his face.
If it is possible, he really wants to stay, the Pistons team atmosphere is good, not so much shit.
But he is also very clear that going to the Suns is good for himself. At least after he has gone, he can directly get the starter.
"Coach, thank you, thank you for choosing me at the draft, and then giving me the opportunity to show in the team!"
"Thank you for your constant care."
Okur stood, bowing deeply to Richard.
He is indeed grateful to Richard. He was just a second-round pick. If he chooses not to be selected by other teams, it is likely that he will guard the drinking machine throughout the rookie season...
However, in the hands of Richard, he had the opportunity to start without Yao Ming and Clark.
In Oku's view, Richard really took care of himself.
Richard straightened Okur and waved his hand with a wry smile. "Young man, don't be so polite."
"Looking forward to the day you can enter the All-Star."
Okur nodded, "I will, coach!"
...
Early the next morning, the NBA officially released news that the Detroit Pistons had a deal with the Phoenix Suns.
The Pistons sent their second-year rookie insider Memet Oku in exchange for the Suns' second-year rookie forward swingman Joe Johnson and the first and second round picks in 2003.
This deal was not too shocking, and in the eyes of almost everyone, Okur was really worth the price.
Even for many teams, the Suns may have earned...
It's true that Joe's performance in singles is not good enough, quite unremarkable, and not many people noticed his potential.
Like Maddie, the top swingman in the league who was not reused early in his career, although he was not reused at the beginning, his performance in unit time is quite good, at least better than Joe Johnson. .
That is, Richard has taken Joe Johnson right now, otherwise, not many teams really take him seriously.
Now that Richard has seen this kid, it means that this kid may have some potential to develop.
...
The deal didn't spark much topical interest, but it was a ESPN report that put Yao Ming directly on the news headlines.
In this report, Yao Ming was evaluated as the strongest champion in the past decade, and Yao Ming was given the nickname of No. 1 champion.
The reason is that in the past ten years, it is because O'Neal, the champion of 1992...
In other words, in the opinion of this reporter, Yao Ming is the strongest champion after O'Neill, even surpassing Duncan and Iverson.
The top picks in 1993, King Weber, Big Dog, Joe Smith, Iverson, Duncan, Olovokandi, Brand, Kenyon Martin, Kwame Brown, and then Yao Ming in 2002.
It can be seen that the top champion is really not a blow. Although there are parallels, there are quite a lot of characters.
Under normal circumstances, in fact, even if Yao Ming's data is so hot, and he has mastered the sky hook, he can't be able to crush Duncan and be rated as the strongest champion...
It was mainly Duncan who won the championship in the second season of his career and also won the FMVP.
This heavy honor alone is far from being comparable to Yao Ming~EbookFREE.me~ But because of Richard’s reasons, Duncan did not have this dazzling honor, so ESPN can’t pick it out by saying so. What is wrong, after all, Yao Ming's rookie data is much stronger than Duncan.
Even because the Pistons have a very good record this year, Yao Ming is likely to receive the MVP honors in the regular season.
The data is good enough, the team's record is also good, the chance of taking MVP is certainly not small.
...
As for the nickname of No. 1 Killer, it is precisely because Yao Ming has abused two No. 1 picks in the previous two games.
Olovokandi and Kenyon Martin.
In the Clippers game, if it were not for the Clippers to surrender, Yao Ming could even hit 60+20 of horror data. Even after playing only three quarters, Yao Ming had 45+15 top data.
Olofokandi, who was directly against Yao Ming, played only twenty minutes in that game, and scored 7 points and 6 rebounds. It was almost blasted into a scum by Yao Ming...
Later in the game of playing the Nets, although Yao Ming did not directly match with Kenyon Martin, Martin only got 11 points and 7 rebounds in the game, and he was completely exploded by Yao Ming.
Two top picks in a row, not the top pick...
The key behind the game, the Pistons will continue to play at home to play the Bucks, they also have a top pick in the team.
But playing the Bucks game, Yao Ming is hard to break out, because this game has been "booked" by Clark.
Clark hated the Bucks quite a bit, and every time he thought of his days in the buck's desertion, his teeth were hated.
He still feels that if the Bucks hadn't done anything, he would join the Trail Blazers and go where they would be abandoned for so many years.
