Chapter 77: A Very Talented Supersonic Newcomer
The management of the New York Knicks has been the management that has been ridiculed the most by the media and fans in recent years.
From the New York Knicks reached the Finals in 1999 to the present, the New York Knicks' operations every year can be called suffocating stupidity.
With the highest salary in the league and the lowest record in the league, this is the portrayal of the New York Knicks.
Last season, the total salary of the New York Knicks was 126 million U.S. dollars, while the league's salary cap was 50 million U.S. dollars.
What is this concept?
It can be said that the luxury tax paid by the New York Knicks is five times more than the total luxury tax paid by other teams in the league!
But the New York Knicks' record last season was the third-worst in the league during the regular season.
People are stupid and money comes quickly, this is the current portrayal of the New York Knicks.
But after the deal between the New York Knicks and the Supersonics was completed, the Supersonics management replaced the New York management and became the worst in the league.
The Sonics traded Jalen Rose, Luke Crednor, and Wilcox from the New York Knicks for Malik Rose, Quentin Richardson, last year's rookie David Lee, and this year's rookie Rajon Rondo. How to see how the supersonic loses.
The 32-year-old Malik Rose's average dropped to only 4 points last season, but he still has a 3-year 22 million garbage contract.
The 26-year-old Quentin Richardson, after going from the Suns to the New York Knicks, his scoring average dropped from 15 points per game in the Suns to 8 points per game in New York, but he still has a 4-year contract worth 34 million , this contract is about to be trashed.
The 23-year-old last year's rookie David Lee averaged 5+4.5 last season, a white insider who seems to have no future.
The 20-year-old Internet celebrity rookie Rajon Rondo averaged 35 minutes per game in seven preseason games this season, with an average of 6 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game.
The numbers look good, but when combined with his 5-of-26 shooting from the outside in the preseason, it doesn't look so good.
"New York fans love Rajon Rondo's ass and his ecstatic expression more than his strength!"
"Rondo's true strength should be a second-round pick. It was Yes' kick that made him a first-round pick. The New York Knicks don't have to bear the consequences of Rondo's inflated value. The stupid Supersonics helped New York bear it." This evil result!"
"This deal is the most perfect deal Isiah Thomas has ever made in his general manager career!"
In the office of the general manager of the New York Knicks, Isiah Thomas was in a good mood looking at the newspapers that praised him.
Sent away two junk contracts, and sent away two rookies at the end of the first round with little potential.
Got a contract that is about to expire, and two good immediate combat forces.
Is there a better deal than this?
"The New York Knicks got Jalen Rose, which can free up 15 million space next season!"
"The New York Knicks got Luke Ridnour and Wilcox, and the New York Knicks will get more tactical options!"
"The New York Knicks lost only two late first-round rookies and two garbage signings that have proven to be failures!"
"For the New York Knicks, this is a perfect deal!"
"All teams in the league and the Seattle Supersonics will get a perfect deal. The Seattle Supersonics have become the most popular team in the NBA management!"
Isaiah Thomas actually didn't want to laugh when he saw this. He felt that he was a gentleman and shouldn't laugh at other people's IQ.
But in the end, Isiah Thomas still laughed out of spite.
"Hahahaha, so there are really such stupid people in this world!"
Danny Ainge actually said that Rajon Rondo can only stop losses if he is sent to the Celtics, and that a second-round pick is Rondo's current value.
He also said that the Celtics lack point guards so he is willing to take over. Except for him and the Celtics, no one will take over for the Knicks.
Hehe, isn't there an 'honest person' taking over now?
The preseason gave Rondo so many opportunities, and Rondo's performance was getting worse and worse. He was still a little worried about the Sonics' regret.
"It's a pleasure to deal with a fool...and an honest person, and I will keep in touch with Supersonic in the future!"
Quentin Richardson is the player that Nelson named and wanted. In the 2004-05 season, Quentin Richardson played a historic performance in Nash's running and bombing system, breaking the number of three-pointers hit by the Suns in a single season. record of.
Quentin Richardson that year was one of the league's most fearsome wing shooters.
But when he went to the New York Knicks, under Larry Brown's account, Quentin Richardson's three-pointer was directly abolished.
What kind of three-point shot, defense, the essence of basketball is iron-blooded defense!
Under Larry Brown's training, Quentin Richardson not only couldn't play, but was also injured.
It was as miserable as it could be.
Back then, the passionate ugly boy next to Nash, the darling of the Phoenix Suns locker room, had been turned into a bitter and vengeful man with facial paralysis by Larry Brown when he came to the Supersonics.
The other three ex-Knicks who came with Quentin Richardson, Rajon Rondo was named by Yees.
David Lee was what Presti wanted, and Presti had been watching David Lee for a while.
As for the 32-year-old former Spurs veteran Malik Rose is used to balance the deal.
The New York Knicks have a bunch of rubbish contracts, but Malik Rose's contract doesn't look too rubbish.
Moreover, Malik Rose and Presti are old friends in the Spurs, and they are familiar with each other. Malik Rose is an excellent locker room leader.
As a short power forward, Malik Rose may not have much athletic ability and offensive ability now, but his strong defensive ability is still online.
The Sonics' very young four position lacks defense, and Malik Rose is an important addition to the Sonics' four position.
Coming to the Sonics, Quentin Richardson and Malik Rose and David Lee are still very happy.
The New York Knicks are now a fire pit. Although the Supersonics are also pitted, old Nelson is not a pit!
With the motivation of thanking the Supersonic for saving them from the fire pit, the three quickly integrated into the Supersonic's "Yes team" with Ye Si as the core.
In addition to the four official members of Milicic, Millsap, Barea and Tucker, the Yes team now has two alternate members, Wilkins and Collison.
Now there are three more non-staff personnel in Richardson, David Lee and Malik Rose.
"Yes, this year's NCAA finals you have dealt a big blow to Joe King and the others. Now they are working hard and preparing to find their place on Greg Oden next year. Joe King and the others are going to take Oden's sacrificial flag and reshape the genius The name of the killer came to the NBA to seek revenge on you"
"They're actually quite good"
Jess was impressed with the University of Florida.
Also, David Lee is a very talkative and elegant guy, and...
Ye Si sized up David Lee, raising his arms from time to time.
This made David Lee a little puzzled.
"Yes, there is nothing wrong with me, right?"
"No problem, just short"
"Ye, Ye, Yes, you, how do you know?!"
"Is it hard to know? Spread your arms and let them see if they are short"
Ye Si finished speaking seriously with a cold face, and David Lee had already petrified.
"Hahahaha, Short Lee!"
The other supersonic players beside him were already laughing together.
God TM's short plum!
david lee wants to cry...
David Lee is tall and has a big butt, but his speed and agility are not as good as Milicic, a big center.
What's more, he just estimated David Lee's wingspan, which is only about 2.13 meters. He is 2.06 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.13 meters, which is a little short.
Leaving the Knicks and coming to the Supersonics, Rajon Rondo is very depressed, very depressed!
A few days ago, he heard the news that the public opinion in the United States said that Yes could not adapt to the intensity of the NBA and that it might have been abolished. He was still tossing and turning, feeling very sad.
Yes, how can the hurricane sweeping across the United States be extinguished like this?
It should be Rajon Rondo who extinguished Hurricane Garfield!
His biggest dream in coming to the NBA is to avenge his kick!
What is the world's leanest butt, the world's most ecstasy expression, he pulls Jane Rondo not to be an Internet celebrity on Youtube!
These are all caused by Yes!
I want revenge!
But, what's going on here to be teammates with Yes now!
"I heard that you are 1.85 meters tall and have a wingspan of 2.06 meters?"
Rondo, who was still doing blacksmithing training, looked at Ye Si walking over with a look of vigilance.
Want to play with me again? !
"So what!"
Although he was wary of Ye Si, his wingspan was his pride all along.
Really have a wingspan of 2.06 meters? Jess was surprised.
"You are very talented, learn from me."
Learn from you, accept? !
"Catch, catch your jump pass?!"
Ye Si nodded seriously, and Rondo's face, which was already darker than others, became even darker.
On October 31, 2006, Tuesday, the 05-06 NBA regular season kicked off.
The Miami Heat played against the Chicago Bulls at home and got Ben Wallace's Chicago Bulls, slaughtering the Miami Heat by 42 points in an away game.
For a time, the entire United States was amazed at the resurgence of the Chicago Bulls.
In such amazement, the recently hacked Seattle SuperSonics ushered in the challenge of the Portland Trail Blazers on November 1st.
"These are the two teams with the worst performance last season, and they will also be the two teams with the worst performance this season!"
"Yes made the Sonics one of the most televised teams in the United States this season. This is the reward brought by Yes' past glory, and it is also the shackles brought by past glory!"
"The more live broadcasts in the United States, the more embarrassing moments will be recorded. In the new season, those fans who have been hurt by Hurricane Garfield can feast their eyes!"
JJ Redick, who finished the game between the Pistons and the Bucks, returned home early, took out the red wine and turned on the TV.
Even if the Pistons lose tonight, even if he sits on the bench for 48 minutes, this will be the most beautiful night!
"The night is so beautiful!"
