After Yeas and the Seattle SuperSonics returned to Seattle, they felt what it meant to be crazy.

For several weeks, the whole of Seattle was in a state of madness.

Of course, the Seattle SuperSonics' championship is a huge news, even the biggest news, not only for Seattle, but also for China and the entire world.

Therefore, many people say that now is not the craziest time for Seattle. When the Seattle SuperSonics celebrate their championship, Seattle will once again create the largest championship celebration in NBA history.

These people's guesses were not wrong. On June 18, 2010, the grand scale of the Seattle SuperSonics championship ceremony indeed exceeded the imagination of the entire world.

Seattle is a very special city in the United States, with a very high level of urbanism, and there are too many big companies and big capitalists in this city. If these big companies and big capitalists are willing to contribute to the Seattle SuperSonics championship ceremony,

That mobilization power is simply terrifying.

As the boss of the Seattle SuperSonics, Bill Gates will certainly not let go of what may be the biggest carnival in the city of Seattle.

Microsoft, Amazon, and every large and small company in Seattle mobilized with all their strength in almost this week.

When the Seattle SuperSonics championship ceremony comes on June 18, standing on the top floor of the NBA's temporary headquarters at the 235-meter-high Seattle Washington Building, the second tallest building in Seattle, I overlook the entire Seattle, the dense crowds, and the flow of people chasing after them wantonly.

, David Stern’s face was full of smiles.

"President, it is estimated that the number of people participating in the Seattle SuperSonics championship celebration parade that goes around Seattle is likely to exceed three million."

"I think it's more than that."

David Stern shook his head.

Of course there are more, because as one of the largest "congested" cities in the United States, there are many, many fans from Washington State from all over the United States who are currently stuck outside the city, preparing to abandon their cars or get off public transportation.

Walk to the nearest parade point to participate in this celebration.

There are currently three million people. Once these people are in place, the number will increase by at least one million.

This terrifying mobilization and carrying capacity...

For the first time, David Stern felt how powerful the city of Seattle was.

Maybe Los Angeles and New York are more energetic cities, but they find it difficult to mobilize for the NBA and basketball.

But Seattle is different. Now, they are really willing to mobilize the energy of the entire city for the glory of the SuperSonics. Now the glory of the SuperSonics is the glory of them and the entire city.

Such a scene would have been unimaginable five years ago.

At that time, the Sonics were even preparing to move out of the city.

Many people even believe that this city does not have the energy to host an NBA team.

Now it seems that it was really a joke.

It’s not that the city doesn’t have the ability, it’s that the city hasn’t found the right people.

yes, is the key to this city!

Thinking of yes, David Stern thought of Jordan.

It has been quite some time since he threw Jordan as a key to Charlotte.

But the door to Charlotte is still tightly closed.

The efficiency of opening the door, compared with yes, makes people unable to complain.

Of course, counting yes’ four years of high school in Seattle, yes has been open in Seattle for a long time, but Jordan University has also opened in North Carolina!

So, in the final analysis, the gap between the two is indeed quite big.

Maybe ten years later, Jordan can achieve his current achievements in Charlotte, right?

I hope Jordan can stand in front of the NCAA chairman and say proudly, I occupied your capital, during his lifetime!

"President, the headquarters received a trade request. The San Antonio Spurs applied to package the team's star guards Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili to the Charlotte Hornets to trade the Hornets' forward Diaw and guard Laga Bell and join the Hornets this year.

The fourth overall pick."

"..."

The smile on David Stern's face suddenly froze as he originally set his sights on the Seattle SuperSonics championship ceremony.

Spurs trade Parker and Ginobili?!

Let’s not talk about the current transaction value of 33-year-old Ginobili and 28-year-old Parker.

This is the Spurs GDP that has tortured him and the league for a long time!

Suddenly the GP is gone?

When he heard that the Spurs sent away GP, he was even more shocked than when he heard that the Pistons sent away Billups and Hamilton.

This has nothing to do with strength or transaction value, but rather, these two have been key players for the Spurs since they entered the league.

In David Stern's knowledge, it is impossible for the Spurs to trade these two players.

Even the liaison officer he put in the Spurs has been spreading the news that Popovich often yelled at Parker and Ginobili that they were useless and wanted to trade them, and he even talked about it for several seasons.

But, isn’t there still no deal in the end?

Therefore, Popovich and analysts around the league believe that Popovich was simply joking when he said he wanted to trade Parker and Ginobili.

But now...

The two of them were really sent away.

And he was sent to Charlotte, the Hornets...

Parker and Ginobili were traded for Diaw, Laga Bell and this year's No. 4 draft pick.

This is indeed a peer-to-peer transaction, and neither party gains much nor suffers much.

The contract amounts are equal and the values ​​are equal.

The Hornets got the star guard they always needed, and also gave away two players with big contracts who were not successful in exchange for it from the Suns.

The transaction value of Diaw and Laga Bell, the two Suns champions, is almost equal to Ginobili.

And Parker's trade value is almost the same as the fourth overall pick.

There is nothing wrong with this transaction.

In terms of value, there is no problem.

However, it is quite unreasonable from a logical point of view.

The Spurs themselves have the fifth overall pick. Naturally, they are not using the top picks to select players in the draft, nor are they keeping it for their own use.

If you use it yourself, it would be better to keep Parker. It takes time to develop players selected with draft picks into immediate combat capabilities. This year's immediate combat capabilities guards Bradley and John Wall are not the fourth and fifth picks.

The right can be chosen.

Therefore, the answer to this illogical transaction is already clear.

"Popovich and the Spurs are piling up chips to trade another star point guard!"

"The Spurs and Popovich are ready to join the Chris Paul trade!"

If Chris Paul is traded from the Thunder, there will indeed be no need for Parker.

The fourth and fifth picks are enough as the main bargaining chips for trading Chris Paul.

"President, our analysts think so too, the Spurs will join the battle for Chris Paul!"

The assistant was very excited, and David Stern also put away the surprise on his face and nodded with a smile.

The Spurs suddenly sent away Ginobili and Parker, which really surprised him.

But if the Spurs want to join the battle for Chris Paul, he will definitely be happy to see it happen.

There are various signs that Chris Paul and the Lakers have reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Of course he doesn't want Chris Paul to go to the Lakers.

,

Are you kidding? Are you trying to build a second Heat in the West?

Is there any more royal method?

If Chris Paul goes to the Lakers, maybe the Lakers next season will be more terrifying than the Heat.

The Spurs sent away Parker and Ginobili, and the overall strength is not that strong. Adding Paul will only make them a strong team.

The key is that the Spurs can convince Paul, who only wants to go to the Lakers, to join him.

After all, Duncan was Paul's college senior.

"The draft is about to start. You have to keep an eye on Chris Paul's movements. Also, when Popovich and the Spurs submit a trade application to the Thunder, they must notify me as soon as possible."

"President, I understand."

David Stern is now waiting for the Spurs to add Chris Paul to the deal.

He absolutely does not believe that the Spurs are accumulating chips for the Clippers' Westbrook.

Because the Clippers won the second pick in this year's draft, the whole world knows that Westbrook is leaving.

Even Clippers fans are now crazy looking forward to the addition of John Wall and Nick Young to form a super backcourt combination.
