Paul Allen also wants to persuade Bruce to make plans to see if he can trade Ray Allen + Eric Snow together. Anyway, at most, it means paying more for the draft picks in the next few years!

With the guard combination of Iverson + Ray Allen, the first round picks in the next few years of the SuperSonics are no longer so important, so it is completely possible to trade them out to exchange Ray Allen back, won’t that time? Fragrant?

Paul Allen’s idea is still very good, but unfortunately he is not on the same channel as Bruce, and Bruce’s thinking is different from what everyone else thinks. He will not limit the players' preference to playing familiar positions. Take Iverson as an example. If Iverson is used as a point guard, he is definitely willing, but if it is a shooting guard, Iverson is definitely not. Too willing, mainly related to Iverson’s character. He likes to control the rhythm on the court. The point guard is the best player on the court. Although Iverson’s scoring ability is better than his ability to organize and pass the ball. People just don't like playing shooting guard. What can you do? !

But Bruce cares about it, you play the best position in which position, this is a matter of course, Bruce does it too.

Take Wang Zhizhi as an example. If Bruce selects Wang Zhizhi into the Hans, he will definitely not be allowed to play the position of power forward center. Although Wang Zhizhi often plays these two positions, Bruce would not do this. Wang Zhizhi arranged to play at the small forward position. The reason is very simple. Wang Zhizhi is still very disadvantaged whether it is power or other aspects against NBA players at the power forward center position. This point has been tested by the Mavericks in the past, and Bruce will definitely not take it again. What kind of test Wang Zhizhi is going to do, it is better to place Wang Zhizhi at the small forward position. It is better to use Wang Zhizhi's defender's general dribbling ability, small forward movement, and a three-pointer. This is better than he can dominate the opponent inside. Lots of it.

Therefore, Bruce is a man who has great insights into the future direction of NBA history. He knows who plays and what position can best exert his strength.

"My father, I know that Ray Allen is really good. Although the supersonic will pay a certain price if it is traded, the problem is not very big, but my father, I still decided not to trade Ray Allen." Bruce said firmly.

"Bruce, why is this?!" Paul Allen chose to abandon the deal when he knew that Bruce knew that Ray Allen could help the Sonics. He was a little puzzled. Why? !

"In fact, the reason is very simple. I hope that Allen will play shooting guard next season. The reason why I traded Gary back is so that Allen can fully display his super scoring ability on shooting guard. There is Gary in this arrangement. With the organization and defense on the point guard, Allen can completely liberate his offensive attributes. By then, Allen can definitely make a whirlwind in the West and even the entire league!"

"If Ray Allen is also traded over, it would be a bit of a loss. If I don't expect it, Ray Allen will be in the All-Rookie Team. Of course, he must be in the second team. A lineup of shooting guards has Kobe, which is incomparable to him. According to such a situation, Naray Allen is absolutely unwilling to play as a substitute for the Supersonics. Instead of this, it is better to give up Ray Allen and put all your strength on the price. Adding to Gary's head, maybe Gary and Allen are more suitable!" At this time, Bruce remembered the words of a famous chocolate advertisement in later generations, and said casually.

Paul Allen was a little surprised at this time. He didn't expect Bruce to hit Iverson’s idea. Is Iverson such an easy compromise? How could it be possible? What is Iverson’s character, Paul Allen’s I have faced Iverson a lot in the past year. It can be said that Iverson is the rebellious master. I can live with him in the team, but once I leave Iverson, I feel like he is The tiger-free monkey in the mountains said that the king in the team’s locker room and the supersonics are the image of his own team. If it weren’t for the fact that Seattle fans like Iverson, Paul Allen wouldn’t say it’s true. The idea of ​​wanting to trade Iverson away, but only for a moment, mainly because Iverson still respects Paul Allen, coupled with Iverson playing good-looking, it is hard not to be liked.

"Bruce, are you going to let Allen play shooting guard next season?! I'm afraid this won't work. Gentry didn't let Allen play the shooting guard position, but after playing for a while, Allen returned to the point of control. The ball guard is on, so I don't think the effect of having Allen play shooting guard is very effective. The most important thing is that Allen is definitely not willing to play this position." Paul Allen wants to dispel Bruce's unrealistic suggestion.

Because in the eyes of Paul Allen, Bruce actually wants to transform Iverson. Isn’t that a shit, Iverson even dares to coach Gentry, and Bruce is an outsider, so he doesn’t care. Paul Allen is also not optimistic about Bruce's success in transforming Iverson.

"I'll talk to Allen personally about this issue. If he doesn't agree to play shooting guard next season, then Gary won't have to go back to Seattle. I will cancel his trade. The rest will remain the same." Bruce said calmly. Replied.

In fact, Bruce doesn't know if he can persuade Iverson to play shooting guard next season. After all, it is really difficult for a ruthless guy who retires as long as he plays on the bench to change his position.

But Bruce still decided to try it. If Iverson is really willing to compromise, then the SuperSonics' strength will be strengthened if Payton is traded. Besides, Larry Brown really likes those defensive comparisons. Strong players, with Payton escorting by Iverson, that is much higher than the starting point of the Pistons Five Tigers, it's not like Bruce also arranged a few back after the Pistons Five Tigers.

"Well, since this is the case, then there is no problem. You are responsible for everything. You can talk to Allen by yourself. You don't need to tell me the follow-up. In addition, after the transaction list is confirmed, report directly to Bob. That's it for Whithit, and I will tell him to do what you want!" Paul Allen thought for a while and replied directly.

Talking to the management of those league teams is the most annoying, and the one who has to bargain is to give this job to Bob Whitshitt, who has a "trader", and I am happy to have fun!

Although the boss of the Supersonics is Paul Allen, Paul Allen himself never thought that Bruce is not a member of the Supersonics, so he still trusts Bruce, and now it can be said that Bruce completely acts as the secretly boss of the Supersonics. Role.

From this point, you can envy others. Bruce spent more than 200 million yuan to send Paul Allen to an NBA team. Unexpectedly, Paul Allen's reciprocity also made Bruce secretly become the owner of this team. If this is true If someone stabbed to Stern, it would definitely cause an earthquake.

The league does not allow a single owner to own two teams. Paul Allen thought that instead of handing over the Sonics to someone else, it would be better to let Bruce take charge. At least the Sonics would not be in danger of being transferred.
