Chapter 402 Complete Safety and the Last Madness in the West

For the first time since the SuperSonics selected Durant with the second pick, Yees responded to the controversy caused by Durant.

Yeth's response had a huge impact across the United States.

Before Ye Si did not respond, coconut flour and the coconut flour media had always had a fantasy.

That is, the Sonics selected Durant to rob.

The Sonics will definitely trade Durant before the start of the new season.

In particular, Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan and general manager Pritchard have a soft spot for Durant.

He has never concealed his love for Durant, and is even willing to use anyone other than Conley and Aldridge as a bargaining chip.

Trail Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard is 40 years old this year, young and promising, and he came from a famous family in the basketball world.

Pritchard's teacher is the legendary basketball coach Larry Brown, and Spurs coach Popovich, Spurs general manager Buford, and Pacers president and legendary general manager Walsh are brothers in the same school.

After a not-so-successful player career, in 2003 Pritchard worked as a scout for his brothers Popovich and Buford for a period of time, and was a colleague of the Supersonics general manager Presti. relationship is very close.

This is very reminiscent of whether the Blazers asked the Sonics to help select Durant to prevent Durant from being robbed, so please ask the Sonics to rob Durant first.

After all, the Blazers' 2007 draft pick was only the fifth overall pick.

The Blazers' No. 5 pick definitely doesn't give McMillan and Pritchard the confidence to get someone.

The Blazers only have the fifth overall pick. Even if Durant's pick continues to decline, if the media keeps saying that Durant doesn't want it, are you afraid of being robbed?

The example of the Raptors robbing the Sonics last year was not so far away?

What supports the Blazers to openly want a certain player with the fifth overall pick?

There's no reason other than they're sure they can get Durant.

Therefore, the Blazers must have reached an agreement with the Sonics.

When the time is right, the two teams will trade Durant.

But wait and wait,

Coconut flour and the coconut flour media waited for the continuous quotations from the Blazers.

In the beginning, Randolph was traded for Durant + Malik Rose. Although the Blazers had already made it clear that they would trade Randolph this summer, Randolph was no longer in the Blazers' plan, but this bargaining chip was considered sincerely.

Rudy Gay may not be as strong as Randolph, let alone someone who uses Rudy Gay as a template.

Coupled with Malik Rose, this is the Blazers cleaning up garbage contracts for the Sonics.

Many coconut flour and coconut flour media feel that this quotation is acceptable, very good, and the transaction should be completed immediately.

No matter how bad Randolph is, how bad his defense is, and how bad his statistics are, he can still score. What will Durant do? Can't get the data in the preseason.

Who would have thought that before YY, Presti, general manager of the Supersonics, directly rejected the trade proposal of the Blazers.

This makes people incomprehensible.

What is going on between the Blazers, the Sonics and Durant is once again confusing.

Fortunately, what keeps coconut flour and coconut flour media still hopeful is that the Blazers are still not discouraged after being rejected.

Randolph + Przybilla...

Randolph + Telfair...

Randolph + Jarrett Jack...

Randolph + Webster...

Even the latest offer is already Randolph + the Blazers' top five protected picks in 2008!

This is already the best bargaining chip that the Blazers can come up with except for Aldridge and Conley.

What makes the coconut powder and the coconut powder media desperate is that no matter how they black Durant, Yes and the Supersonic management just don't let go of Durant.

Rejecting again and again makes them feel cold.

Now there is no need to feel cold, they can be completely desperate.

After Ye Si publicly said "wait and see", the coconut powder and the coconut powder media fell silent.

Only Yehei and the Yehei media are excited now.

They can finally rest assured!

Durant and Rondo and Millsap are finally tied to Yes!

Yehei media is a small minority among the major media in the United States, but one day after Ye Si responded, the entire public opinion trend in the United States has been controlled by them.

The coconut powder media is silent, now is the carnival time for the coconut black media!

Ye Si's response was more than just a carnival by these coconut black media.

In the practice facility in Cleveland, O'Neal felt that his new teammate LeBron James was shooting more 3-pointers than ever.

It's just that the hit rate is a little bit touching.

"LeBron, I feel like you are more used to shooting longer threes?"

James, who couldn't hide his joy, was a little embarrassed when he heard what O'Neill said.

In the past, he shot three-pointers and never actively controlled his strength. The offseason was his first targeted practice shooting.

His current control of the shot is really not good enough.

Three-pointers on the three-point line, it depends on the sky whether they can make it or not.

He seems to be able to control the three-pointers half a step or one step away from the three-point line, and his shooting rate is slightly better.

"I still have some problems with three-pointers now, but don't worry, take your time."

Don't worry, take your time?

James actually said that there is no need to worry and take your time? !

Is this still James?

He consulted Wade when he fired the Heat.

Wade told him not to be so lazy in the Cavaliers, and James is eager to catch up with Yes.

Let him make people feel that he is trying hard even if he is pretending.

But after coming to the Cavaliers for so long, O'Neal found that James was not as urgent as Wade said?

But soon, O'Neill understood.

The Supersonics selected Durant with the second pick, and Yes now announced that the Supersonics will keep Durant and the others. James really doesn't need to be too urgent.

In the new season, the Cavaliers are predicted to rank third in the Eastern Conference!

Second only to the Celtics and Wizards.

In the new season, the Supersonics' ranking in the Western Conference is predicted to be tenth!

As for the other prediction of the Supersonics' eighth, now that Durant has announced that he will stay with the team, there is no need to discuss it anymore.

Portland, the office of the general manager of the Trail Blazers, Pritchard looked at the newspaper in his hand with regret.

"Sam still didn't give in to the pressure I put on him."

Prior to this year's draft, the Blazers' target for Durant had been a secret.

After Pritchard learned that Presti's goal was Durant from his seniors' connections, he made it public that the Blazers' goal was Durant.

Before the draft, Durant was so dark that he even lost a big contract with Nike, and he also had a share of the credit.

He and the Blazers later made public their thoughts on Durant not because they had reached an agreement with the Sonics, but because they were putting pressure on Presti.

Even if Presti is optimistic about Durant, he still has to listen to the team owner, the team boss Yes.

As long as the team owner has doubts about Presti's choice, as long as Yes has doubts about Presti's choice.

That's his chance.

Wouldn't it be foolish not to make such a good deal for a player modeled on Rudy Gay for Randolph + lottery pick?

What makes Pritchard speechless is that his plan is very good, but the boss of the Sonics is Bill Gates.

Bill Gates has no interest in anyone other than Yes.

He doesn't care what kind of transaction, what kind of loss or not.

As for Yes...

Yes looks more confident in Durant than Presti!

After Yes publicly declared that he would wait and see, he knew that his hope of getting Durant was gone.

After he took over as the general manager of the Trail Blazers, he has been working on the rejuvenation of the team.

Randolph must be cleaned up before the start of the season, and he will be pardoned if he cannot be traded. Randolph has already affected the growth of young people like Aldridge and Conley in the team.

If Randolph can be used as the main bargaining chip, it is worthwhile to exchange any chips except Aldridge and Conley for Durant.

Conley, Aldridge and Durant are the future of the Blazers he planned.

such a pity……

What a great opportunity.

"Kevin, New York Knicks reject Zach Randolph and Fred Jones' offer to trade Francis and Channing Frye."

Pritchard, who was still a pity just now, had a dark face.

Is Randolph worthless now?

Can't Channing Frye be replaced?

He didn't want Channing Frye for nothing, he also helped the Knicks clear Francis' contract.

What's more, Channing Frye is just a 24-year-old insider with an average of 9+5 per game.

Prickly, high salary, and not defensive, such players are indeed unpopular.

No matter the weak team or the strong team, such a team is not welcome.

The young and weak teams are afraid of bringing down the atmosphere, and the strong teams are afraid of destroying the chemical reaction.

But even so, Randolph is still surprised that he can't even replace young players of Channing Frye's level.

Channing Frye's level is already his bottom line.

Young players worse than Channing Frye have no training value.

Instead of doing this, it might as well pardon Randolph directly.

Is it really necessary to pardon Randolph before the start of the season?

"Kevin, the Magic declined our offer to trade Randolph for Gortat."

In his assessment, Gortat is on a level with Channing Frye.

It seems that not only the New York Knicks think so, but also the Magic.

"Kevin, the Magic are trading Gortat, but not interested in Randolph."

It is not a secret in the league that the Magic are discussing with the Lakers to trade Odom with Turkoglu.

As far as the Lakers management's stupid lack of secrecy, after Jerry West left, it was like a thousand holes.

No way, who let the Lakers have the league's largest undercover magician.

No one can keep a magician's mouth shut except Jerry West.

The Magic want Odom and are willing to trade Turkoglupin.

No matter how lazy Odom is, he is also the top quasi-All-Star player who has won the best month in his career and averaged 16+10+5 per game last season.

Turkoglu's data last season was only 14+4+3. Although the Lakers management is stupid, it is not that stupid.

The Lakers are also interested in Turkoglu for Odom, but they need Magic Gargott.

The Lakers lacked a backup center after trading away Kwame Brown.

The Magic left Milicic last season and lacked a backup center. They bought Gortat's signing rights from the Suns to let him play as a backup for Howard.

The two stupid teams are deadlocked here because of the problem of a backup center.

It has been stalemate from July until the season is about to start.

If it were Jerry West, he would have used countless plans to complete the deal.

However, he actually doesn't have the capital to laugh at the management of the Lakers and Magic.

In order to get Durant, didn't he keep Randolph to be cleaned until now?

Randolph was not easy to sell before, and now that the season is about to start, it is even more difficult to sell.

It would be nice to find a conscientious buyer like the Rockets who are willing to accept stabs.

However, it is not that the Rockets are willing to accept the stab, but Adelman is willing to accept.

Artest and Adelman had a good relationship with the Kings.

The relationship between Randolph and his former head coach, the current head coach of the 76ers, Cheeks, is not so good.

"Help me get in touch with Lakers general manager Kupchak."

Pritchard made a decision.

Jess did not report back to the team until October 1st.

But he has always been aware of the dissatisfaction among players within the team against Durant.

After he publicly announced that controversial players such as Durant, Rondo, and Millsap would definitely stay on the team, the tense atmosphere within the team disappeared.

Durant is still alone.

The only difference is that Sonics players no longer intentionally target him on the practice field.

On October 5, 2007, the Seattle Key Arena, the preseason game between the SuperSonics and the Houston Rockets.

It was an ordinary preseason game, but the media seats in the Key Arena were packed.

This is the first show of the Sonics, which has been crazily underestimated in the new season.

How will the Supersonics, who have been wildly underestimated this season, perform in this game?

The Sonics' starting lineup for this game is Milicic, David Lee, Durant, Yees and Rondo.

In the Sonics' first preseason game, Durant was the starter, which means that he will replace Quentin Richardson as the main small forward for the Sonics next season!

"This is why many experts say that the Sonics have Durant's strength instead of increasing. Quentin Richardson's data last season was 13 points per game, shooting 42% from the field and 38% from the three-point range. , Durant will definitely not be able to play Quentin Richardson's performance in the starting lineup next season!"

"Since the Supersonics regard Durant as Yes's Pippen, they will definitely not let Durant substitute!"

"This is a nationally broadcast preseason game, and many fans who care about Yes have long been looking forward to this game."

"They're praying, maybe Durant's poor performance in the summer league is because there is no Yes?"

"Yes is a magical player, Milicic can be reborn beside Yes, maybe Durant can too!"

"For many coconut fans, this preseason even determines their expectations for the Sonics record this season. This is the last straw for them who are desperate!"

After more than two months, Ye Si saw Yao Ming again.

Compared with more than two months ago, Yao Ming has become "younger".

"Little Yezi doesn't recognize me?"

"Almost."

"I lost 30 pounds in the past two months, and my face has indeed shrunk by more than a circle."

Ye Si and Yao Ming were exchanging pleasantries.

In front of the bench on the other side.

"KD, the latest news, the Lakers, Magic, and the Blazers completed a three-way deal, Randolph and Turkoglu went to the Lakers!"

"KD, you are completely safe!"

It's completely safe!
