Vol 2 Chapter 69: Prestige's first day of office

Amid the hustle and bustle of the five-team big deal centered on Yes, the 2006 NBA Draft ended.
Was originally a small draft convention, because the existence of Yes became one of the most concerned draft conventions in NBA history.
Five teams deal around a rookie. The players involved have an MVP in the year of playing and two All-Stars in the year of playing. This is the first time in history.
After the transaction was completed, more and more inside information of the transaction was disclosed.
The reason for the transaction is not NBA MVP players Kevin Garnett and Timberwolves.
The reason for the transaction is that the Seattle Supersonics actively found the Toronto Raptors and sought to win the No. 1 pick in the Raptors' hands to select Yes.
The Raptors lion's big opening requires the No. 4 pick in the supersonic hands and Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis.
Was categorically rejected by supersonic.
In order to get Yes, the supersonic can pay any price, but can not send Ray Allen to the Raptors.
Lei Allen's past contributions to the supersonics and his sluggish weight bearing for the supersonics last season made it difficult for Rick Sander to be so desperate.
And the supersonic can not only get Yes, it will be very ugly.
The supersonics need a future first-round draft pick of the Raptors with little value.
Both sides are in a deadlock.
Sonics must get Yes, the world knows the supersonic cards.
The Raptors must maximize their own interests. They are not robbing badly now, but will they wait?
After supersonic and raptors have been pulling their skins for almost half a month, the raptors and supersonics finally take a step back.
In order to facilitate the transaction, the Raptors pulled in the Celtics and Bucks.
The Celtics signed the first four rounds of the next seven years to the Raptors to redeem Ray Allen.
Bucks in order to get the potential of the Raptors power forward Villanova, instead of the Raptors to give the 2007 first-round pick to the Supersonics.
The Timberwolves, who had already completed a separate deal with the Celtics, learned of the existence of this ratio, saw that the supersonics were so good, and wanted to come and slaughter, threatening the Celtics to join the deal.
Rick Sander kept the bottom line for the supersonic face, the supersonic was not completely stripped by the Timberwolves.
The Raptors and Celtics lobbied the Supersonics and Bucks in order to complete the deal a little faster, allowing the Supersonics to send striker veteran Reggie Evans to the Bucks, and the Bucks will develop League player Ilya Sova Send to Timberwolves.
At this point, this long-awaited deal is considered an agreement.
After reaching an agreement, the Toronto Raptors chose Yes with the top pick according to the requirements of the Supersonics, and the Supersonics chose Bagnani with their No. 4 pick according to the requirements of the Raptors.
In this transaction, the supersonic general manager Rick Sander's premature foolishness of seeing the cards made him the laughing stock of the entire United States.
Raptors general manager Brian Colangelo, the former general manager of the Sun, said in an interview after getting Bagnani: "Our goals are Bagnani from start to finish, and Yes is excellent. But Bagnani will shock the world! "
Colangelo's words were a few more steps on the stupid Rick Sander.
And in this transaction, Colangelo has once again become a respectable wise man.
His greed and fierceness shocked everyone.
"When this deal was concluded, Brian Colangelo had harvested the best general manager for next season, and Rick Sander resigned in shame."
"This is the end of this deal. Brian Colangelo's perfect operation will become the peak teaching material in the history of NBA draft robbery, and Rick Sander will be nailed to the post of shame forever!"
Is now being ridiculed like this across the United States, Rick Sander is very sad and ashamed.
In 1979, at the age of 28, he was hired by the Dallas Mavericks as the general manager. He was the youngest general manager in NBA history.
Thirty years have passed. From Dallas to the Seattle SuperSonics, he was the youngest NBA general manager in history. Nothing happened, no achievement.
"Sam, I threw you a mess"
"No, Rick did a great job"
Seeing the devastated supersonic speed, Sam Presti, who was ganging up with Rick Sander, didn't think his predecessor should be ridiculed.
He came to supersonic speed as the general manager is not suddenly invited now, he was already invited a month ago.
In other words, when Rick Sander was in contact with the Raptors to trade Yes, he was ready to be robbed by the Raptors and finally prepared to resign.
Presti is a very calm person. He has seen the operations that Supersonic did in the past year to get Yes.
In addition to prematurely revealing the indispensable intentions to Yes, Rick Sand did nothing wrong with other operations.
In this transaction, he was also brave enough to stick to Lei Allen ’s request and cut off the Timberwolves ’salty pig hands.
Under extreme circumstances, he did not blindly tolerate.
Finally got Yes, also reciprocated by Ray Allen's grace, and also got a little future for the team.
"Sam, according to your request, we selected the PJ Tucker of the University of Texas with the 34th pick, and we chose the Paul Mill from the Louisiana Tech University with the 44th pick bought from Orlando Magic. Sap "
"Paul Millsap?"
"Paul Millsap was recommended to me by Yes before going to New York"
It turns out that it seems, Yes also believes that Rick Sander will pay all the cost to keep him in Seattle.
This unparalleled trust between Seattle and Yes is touching.
"In order not to disrupt our draft plan, and hope to meet Yes's request, I bought a second round from the Magic"
Presti's silence made Rick Sande explain quickly.
According to the prior agreement, from a month ago, except for the transaction of Yes, any team's operation must be notified in advance to Presti.
But Yes recommended Paul Millsap just this morning, he temporarily bought the Magic second-round draft pick just now, too late to report.
"Did Rick visit Paul Millsap?"
I heard Princeton's question, Rick Sander was a little embarrassed, he had never heard of this person at all.
Seeing the expression of Rick Sander, Presti understood it, and did not delve further.
Paul Millsap should be Yes nepotism?
It doesn't matter how good the NCAA rebounding king he is, he is a Yes person.
PJ Tucker is a college in Texas, Texas is the Spurs' base camp, he is also the head of the Spurs scout, he has been inspecting PJ Tucker for a long time.
One month ago, he recommended pj Tucker to Spurs general manager Buford. The Spurs also lacked small forwards, but Buford was embarrassed to get his recommendation.
Last year, in order to get Mohammed, the Spurs signed the first round of this year to the New York Knicks.
Since the Spurs could not be selected, pj Tucker fell into the second round and could not be cheaper.
As long as Rick Sander selects pj Tuck according to his requirements, nothing else.
In order to get Yes, the supersonic has now entered a stage of complete reconstruction.
The lineup of supersonics is actually pretty good. It used to be a playoff team in the West.
But after the crazy swing of last season, and now the two heads of the team are sent away, this team has completely lost much of its energy.
Danny Foster, 6.6 million a year contract, 2 meters 01 pocket inside, can jump and grab rebounds, active style, very popular in Seattle, the pinnacle can contribute an average of 16 points +16 rebounds inside, However, the stress fracture was obsolete. Last season, he only played 23 games for the Supersonics. Don't expect him to perform next season.
Damien Wilkins signed a five-year 14.5 million contract with the team last year, and now has a four-year contract. The 1.98-foot forward swingman can do anything but is not proficient. The leading swingman, Zeng Jin had 15 points, 6 rebounds and 5 steals in the Western Conference semifinals against the Spurs. This game is also the reason why he can get such a big contract as a lost draft.
Nick Collison, with a two-year rookie contract, a full-featured 2.08 white blue-collar insider.
Lobot Swift, with a 2.13-year white center with a two-year rookie contract, was called the white center's last hope in the NCAA. At present, the torn cruciate ligament will miss all games next season. I'm afraid it's hard to stand on the court, you can ignore it.
Luke Ridnour, with a one-year rookie contract, a full-featured 1.88-foot white point guard, and he averaged 11.5 points and 7 assists in the third grade last season. It is the biggest helper for Yes next season. Important asset.
Johan Petro, with a three-year rookie contract, a 2.13-female black center, is a sufficient role player.
Earl Watson, and a backup point guard with a three-year, 18-million-year contract, last season averaged 11 + 5 in 24 minutes on the supersonic bench. One of the team ’s most important remaining strength.
Chris Wilcox, the contract expires, 2 meters 08 power forward, averaged 14 + 8 last season, has reached a 3-year 19.5 million contract with the team, is one of the team's important reconstruction assets .
Reeve LaFrenz, a 30-year-old white 2.11-centre center, had one of the two three-year, 36-million-year contracts left, and the team ’s biggest negative asset, in order to facilitate one of the two garbage contracts received by Yes.
Jaylen Rose, a 33-year-old swingman with Kobe's 81-point background, to facilitate Yes's transaction, one of the two major garbage contracts received, leaving a 15 million contract a year.
Yes, Yes, a 19-year-old defender, Seattle Supersonic Hope, is expected to give the No. 1 contract for 21 years, the most important core asset of the Supersonics.
PJ Tucker, a 21-year-old rookie small forward, is expected to give a contract of 2 million for 3 years.
Paul Millsap, a 21-year-old power forward, is expected to give a contract of 2 million for 3 years.
And Rick Sander finished handing over, after reading the team's existing player information, Presti's brow was always locked.
The team now has insufficient space to operate.
After giving contracts such as Wilcox and Yes, the total salary of 13 players was close to $ 65 million.
The next season's salary cap is 53 million US dollars, the luxury tax trigger line is 61 million US dollars, and the luxury tax is 4 million.
The contract between Jaylen Rose and La Frentz is the most important reason for the luxury tax superline.
The good news is that Jaylen Rose ’s 15 million contract expires next season, and Danny Foster ’s 6.6 million junk contract also expires next season, which will free up 22 million spaces for the team.
But that's only next season, this season he doesn't have to think about hanging big fish in the free market. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
This year the NBA actually has no big fish. Jason Terry should stay with the Mavericks, Ben Wallace. Since the break with the Pistons, the only goal is a big contract.
Sonic will definitely not be able to afford this Wallace contract, nor will it.
Now the team's operating space is limited. In the case of not sure who the team will sell to, as the general manager, his first consideration is to save money for the team.
Let ’s see if we can lower the luxury tax through transactions and get some high-quality assets by the way
Last year, there was no super-luxury tax at the supersonic speed, and the financial loss was 12 million. This year's wage expenditure will be 20 million more than last year, and the loss will be greater.
The morning after the draft meeting was the last time the board of directors voted to decide whether to sell the team to the Goose Consortium.
According to his understanding, in the end, the voting was terminated because of Bill Gates' Seattle giants who had no previous interest in supersonics.
This is the expected thing, which is why the supersonic speed must get Yes.
As the NBA general manager, Presti certainly hopes that his boss is Bill Gates.
Unfortunately, not yet, the supersonic trade negotiations are still going on.
So now he has to save money for the current boss who lacks money.
Next season is when the supersonics and Yes show their fists!
This season, even if Yes is stronger, with such a supersonic speed, he can not enter the playoffs.
"Sam, Orlando Magic requested to trade Earl Watson and Johan Petrol with Milicic!"
Milicic trading Earl Watson and Johan Petro?
Presti froze.
Even the magic treats them supersonic as a fool?
