Legendary Basketball Tycoon

The purpose of Paul Allen's call to Bruce is obvious. One is to find his "godson" to complain, and the other is to let Bruce give an idea to see how to strengthen the Sonics facelift next season.

Not to mention that, apart from Paul Allen’s vision of Bruce’s choice of players, others don’t believe it at all. Even the Sonics General Manager Bob has tried several times to modify the team. It can be said that the current Sonics It is completely the "second team" of Bruce, but even so Paul Allen still fully supports Bruce, because he knows that if it is himself or the general manager of the Sonics, Bob, it is impossible to win three championships in a row. , Maybe they will spend a lot of money to sign those stars into the supersonics, but the effect is definitely not as good as the list given by Bruce. This leads to the money spent but nothing at the end. It is better to trouble Bruce every year. Supersonic is making suggestions, and his "godfather" doesn't think much about his "godfather", then for whom!

Paul Allen doesn't feel guilty at all about using Bruce as the "military officer" role. On the contrary, he still thinks it should be, no, now I'm looking for it again!

"Oh, father, what happened?!" Bruce asked dismissively.

In Bruce’s view, as long as the price is right, no one can’t trade. Of course, except for Jordan and Tim Duncan, who participated in the draft later, the two of them really can’t trade the team. The former is Restrict the boss, the boss can't control him, the latter is a super-giant rookie, whoever trades who may be left stinking for years.

As for other players, even All-Star players still have a price tag, as long as the right people can really take it out for trading, this is very obvious.

"Bruce, the situation is like this..." Paul Allen reluctantly told Bruce that the team recently wanted to trade these two players to supersonic progress.

At the end of hearing, Bruce also squinted his eyes. He was also very surprised. Well, you said, what are your Bucks doing right there? Don’t you know what your own market is? Is there any All-Star level? Does the player matter? This is not important at all. Okay, a small city still wants All-Star players. Isn’t this a big talk for the Lions? To Bruce, it looks like Cleveland, Milwaukee, these are more biased and the basketball atmosphere is not very big. Cities should be banned, let these teams leave other big cities, so as to better develop the NBA, the value of small cities is really not high!

In addition, given that Bruce did not know much about the Supersonics in China, he did not expect such a thing to happen in the final game between the Supersonics and the Trail Blazers, but in his opinion it is really not a problem, Rashid Hua Although Rachel is very irritable on the court, he is still quite self-disciplined off the court. In addition to numerous technical fouls in the previous life, Rasheed Wallace of the "Blazers Prison Team", he also threatened after the game. referee.

It can be said that Rasheed Wallace’s bad boys play obedient cards. People are not as good as those people in that environment. This is also the point that Bruce admires Rasheed Wallace very much.

In addition, Rashid Wallace’s role in Larry Brown’s tactical system is still very obvious. Why the "Pistons Five Tigers" was so awesome in the past is because these five people are a team and lack everyone. No, Rasheed Wallace is definitely very important as the team's starter.

So Bruce considered that Rasheed Wallace’s deal would have to go on, but it’s better to work with Iverson. Without Iverson’s nod, it would be difficult for Rasheed Wallace. It's done. After all, Iverson is the boss of the Sonics, he must consider whether to help his little brother Big Ben or for the future of the team is the most important consideration.

As long as Iverson is willing to take in Rasheed Wallace, everything is not a problem.

"Father, in fact, this is far from serious. In my opinion, the transaction can continue." Bruce replied confidently.

Having figured everything out, Bruce decided to continue to help Paul Allen reinforce the team's lineup, but well, need to change his trading mind...

"Oh, Bruce, you still think the transaction can continue. I don’t have much confidence in trading Rasheed Wallace anymore. I’m not afraid that I won’t be able to trade Rasheed Wallace. On the contrary, I’m afraid to trade Rasheed Wallace. If a deal breaks out in the team's locker room, then the problem will be big?!"

Yes, Paul Allen has always felt that trading a player is no big deal, as long as the price is in place, what player can't be traded? !

But this time because of the last conflict, Paul Allen didn’t dare to bet. He really didn’t have to trade Rasheed Wallace to make Iverson have unpleasant thoughts about the team because he didn’t. It's worth it. Anyone can trade a good power forward, not Rasheed Wallace.

Then there is Ray Allen’s deal. Why do you want to exchange for Ray Allen for a supersonic All-star level? Now Ray Allen is not even an All-Star, at best, it is just an All-Star Eastern rookie. Trade the All-Stars for Ray Allen, the Bucks also figured it out. Besides, how many All-Stars there are in the Sonics, the old and the young, can't be traded by anyone.

Yes, in the current lineup of the Sonics, the only old players belonging to the All-Star level are Avidas Sabonis, Detlev Schramf, Terry Porter, and Nate McMillan. Only Iverson is the only small player who has an All-Star restraint. As for other players who have not yet reached the requirements of the All-Star, it is obviously impossible for you to say who can be traded.

The old All-Star Bucks definitely don't want to. Take a rookie with All-Star potential to exchange for a veteran, unless the Bucks' uniform team head is pressed by the door.

These problems not only made the supersonic general manager Bob anxious, but also made Paul Allen uncomfortable. In short, this year's supersonics is a fleeting disadvantage!

"Father, it's okay, this problem is easy to solve, but I have thought of another plan here, and you have to get your approval!" Bruce replied slightly nervously.

Because the next plan he submitted to Paul Allen was nothing less than a series of earthquakes, and it can be said that it was the biggest deal the Sonics made since the 1996 draft.

You must greet Paul Allen in all aspects, because Bruce believes that with Paul Allen's background in Seattle, he can still suppress all the crazy fans.

No way, this transaction is indeed a bit crazy. How crazy is it? Once the transaction is successful, the supersonic fans will definitely be happy, but one must face the question of who is the boss of the supersonic. , Yes, I believe everyone already knows very clearly who Bruce is going to talk to Paul Allen about the trade candidate, and that is the former SuperSonic captain Gary Payton.

Bringing Gary Payton from Philadelphia back to Seattle is Bruce submitting a new proposal to Paul Allen!
