Chapter 1133 Do you know how difficult it is to maintain a dynasty?!(1/2)
There are holes everywhere in Seattle right now.
Presti knew it, Rick Sander knew it, and Nelson knew it.
Now is not a good time to ask yes to come back.
So when is a good time to ask yes to come back?
Just like when the Cavaliers invited James to come back and help James do everything well, it would be the best thing to sign with James again.
The Seattle SuperSonics should help Yeos clean up all the Seattle SuperSonics players before inviting him back.
The team is really too bloated now!
Why are knights so powerful now?
After giving the 80-win Warriors the championship, the Cavaliers have replaced the Warriors and become the team that competes with 0910 for the best team in history.
Why are knights so strong?
Not only because the Cavaliers have two powerful superstars in James and Anthony.
The thick-browed man with All-Star ability currently earns the No. 1 pick in annual salary of 7 million, but Milicic, who is opposite him and is also an All-Star, earns 20 million in annual salary.
It's not that Milicic doesn't deserve this annual salary. Milicic will be paid the same amount when he goes to other teams.
But the same 20 million US dollars can only be used by Milicic from the Seattle SuperSonics, while the Cavaliers can use 20 million US dollars for three people including John Wall and DeRozan!
This is the strength gap between the two sides.
Regardless of the fact that the current total contract value of the Seattle SuperSonics has reached 150 million U.S. dollars excluding luxury taxes. If you exclude the four super giants of the two teams, Durant and Anthony James, and compare the annual salary and combat effectiveness of other players, the SuperSonics'
This 150 million U.S. dollars only has 150 million U.S. dollars in combat effectiveness, and the Cavaliers' lineup of 100 million U.S. dollars may be able to exert a strength of 200 million U.S. dollars!
Moreover, the SuperSonics no longer have any possibility of super production. In the future, they will only become more and more bloated and their combat capabilities will become less and less worthy of their salary.
As for the Cavaliers, because of the constant blood transfusions from the SB team of the Nets, it can be said that the number of adjustments in the future will be terrifying.
Therefore, the Seattle SuperSonics are a team that has past glory, but its players have begun to prosper and have no future.
The Cavaliers are a thriving team with a present and a future.
So although yes came back and fulfilled the three-year agreement with James, Presti and the others never thought that James would fulfill his promise and come to the SuperSonics to make up for the debt he owed to yes.
The Sonics are tough right now.
And how can we get rid of such difficulties?
It's very simple, get rid of all the meritorious veterans of the team and those players who no longer have contract bonuses!
Of course, a super giant like Durant must be retained. A super giant like Durant will not lose 50 million, but the league's regulations can only give him a contract of 30 million at most.
But for a player like Milicic, you can kick him out and let him go to other teams for 20 million.
A player like James Harden can be kicked out and get an 18 million contract somewhere else.
For a player like Millsap, before his five-year, $55 million contract is about to expire, with one year left, taking advantage of the fact that he still has trade value, send him to other teams in exchange for draft picks or young players.
player, otherwise when Millsap needs to renew his contract next year, Millsap will become a contract without any bonus like Milicic.
If he and the Seattle SuperSonics can get all these things done, that would be the best time to ask Yes back.
They have done all the bad things, and yes comes back to be a good person. Anyway, with Durant, even if the Seattle SuperSonics once again become a ruin, they will have a better future than the current Seattle SuperSonics.
The current Seattle SuperSonics, Milicic, James Harden, and Millsap occupy a large amount of salary and occupy the team's starting position. Their salary hinders the team's operation, and their starting position also hinders young players.
's growth.
The current Seattle SuperSonics have begun to enter the stage of solidification of the world-conquering class.
Those heroes who once accompanied Yes to conquer the world and establish the Holy City have now become cancerous.
This is something that the Seattle SuperSonics management, including Nelson, is very aware of and understands.
But there was nothing they could do.
Because there is no way to clean it up!
Even if yes is not in the team, they must take into account the spirit left by yes and the team spirit that the team flaunts.
If these heroes don't want to leave, the team can't clean them out.
Unless you don't want to do it anymore.
After a dynasty reaches its peak in the early stage and maintains it through hard work in the middle stage, it will soon enter the chaos of the later stage.
The current Seattle SuperSonics are such a dynasty that is already at the junction of the mid-term and late-stage.
The free market is completely useless, and a strong free market cannot be introduced.
Through the draft, he also worked hard and selected several players in the past two years, including Reggie Jackson in 2011 and Perry Jones III in 2012.
But neither of these two drafts was very successful.
You can't say it was unsuccessful.
But compared to the success of being basically an All-Star in the first round when Yes was there, Reggie Jackson and Perry Jones failed quite a bit.
Of course, Reggie Jackson can still be used, but Perry Jones, a former genius, was originally a gambler, but now his gamble just failed, and his body is indeed ruined.
This cannot be blamed on Reggie Jackson and Perry Jones, because this is the second level of the Sonics' dilemma.
After the free market was unable to strengthen the Sonics, the draft market was too low in terms of draft picks, so there was no way to strengthen the team.
The SuperSonics are still a strong team now. Whether Yes comes back or Yes is gone, the SuperSonics are a strong team that cannot win the lottery.
Therefore, the draft picks every year are very low, unless you are lucky enough to encounter a talent who falls very behind, such as Perry Jones, but such a gamble is a failure, and a rookie of Reggie Jackson's level is not
It may change the current embarrassing situation of the Seattle SuperSonics.
They all understand the truth that running water does not rot the door hinges and does not cause beetles.
But now the Seattle SuperSonics have basically stopped flowing.
Of course, Presti knows that now is not the best time to ask Yes back, but there is no other way, now the Seattle SuperSonics need Yes.
Moreover, although the Sonics are now corrupt, they are not without opportunities.
When he originally made the deal with the Magic, although he expected Howard to cheat the Magic, he really didn't expect that Howard, who always talked about his loyalty, would actually cheat the Magic and let them get this year's second pick.
And this second pick can be said to be the only opportunity to change the fate of the Seattle SuperSonics.
It is conceivable that this second pick is probably the highest draft pick the Seattle SuperSonics can get before Yes retires.
He really didn't dare to use this opportunity himself.
No matter how the 2013 class is criticized as the worst rookie class in NBA history, he does not dare to control the fate of the team and yes in the next ten or even more than ten years in his own hands.
Therefore, even if he knows that inviting Yes back now is a big trap, he still needs to invite Yes back. Only Yes can fill this hole!
If this year's second pick can also select a player like Durant who can be trained by yes to become a super player, then in the future there will be three super giants, yes, Durant and this second pick, the Seattle SuperSonics, no matter how corrupt they are,
You can also stand at the top of the NBA, support Yes's conquering world, regain the throne, and complete the crusade against traitors like James!
Of course, James has not betrayed his promise yet. He still has the opportunity to break out of his contract and join the SuperSonics with a minimum salary.
The SuperSonics would like to provide James with a maximum salary contract, but if James wants to fulfill his promise to join the SuperSonics and yes team, he can only accept a basic salary, because the SuperSonics can only provide a basic salary...
After yes came back, James has not yet announced that he will definitely not come to the SuperSonics, but Presti feels that James is mentally ill and would only join the SuperSonics with a minimum salary.
Therefore, James must be the target of Yes's crusade.
As far as yes's character is concerned, he has treated James so sincerely. If James still betrays him and yes doesn't attack him, others will think yes is not worth it.
And Yes wants to attack James and the Cavaliers now. Not to mention how long it will take for him to get back to his current state of not having played a basketball game in three years. The current SuperSonics lineup cannot attack James and the Cavaliers.
lineup.
We are all two super giants. Anthony still has some restraint against Durant, even though Durant has been gaining weight and has a belly. And James... James has never been a matchup for Yes.
With a small forward and a guard, it can be said that even if the two of them are facing each other, they will not be able to defeat each other. Of course, yes is more capable.
It can be said that in the comparison of two super giants, the two teams are barely evenly matched. If yes still has peak strength, the SuperSonics will have the advantage. If yes needs to get back to form, the Cavaliers will have the advantage.
When comparing the other players of the two teams, the Cavaliers have an overall advantage.
Therefore, after Presti sincerely talked to Yes about the team's current predicament, he felt that Yes would be surprised, incredulous, and solemn when he heard that the SuperSonics were facing such great difficulties. However,
Yesi was still quite calm now, which made Presti feel a little weak, and he quickly continued to remind him.
"Yes, I know you still have expectations for James, but I think you'd better give up this expectation. It's impossible for James to join our team with a minimum salary, so I hope James doesn't join the team, and you'd better not join next season.
If we are in a hurry to attack the Cavaliers and James, we must bear with him for a year or two. Even if James shouts and breaks the fairy tale, he is in the East and we are in the West. It is easy for him to enter the finals in the East, but it is not easy for us in the West, so
We can still tolerate it, as long as we use this year's second pick to select a player who can be developed into a super player and train it for a year or two. When we become strong again, it will be time to punish James and the Cavaliers."
Presti felt that he had made it very, very clear.
There was no way to make it clearer, but Ye Si remained unmoved, as if those words and things he just said didn't exist.
"Yes, do you understand?"
Presti asked carefully.
"I understand, it's just a matter of hoarding food widely, building high walls, and slowly becoming king."
