In the NBA free market in 2013, there was one wave of news about the free market outside, but now the Seattle SuperSonics, which has returned to the center of world sports due to the super luxury tax of 180 million, is still in the circle.

As if everything has nothing to do with them.

This is not because the Seattle SuperSonics are avoiding something. Even if the closed training is not necessary, there is no need to start so early. The main reason is that the Seattle SuperSonics does have a lot of things going on.

Ye Si has just returned, and the team really has too many things to deal with.

This is not just a matter of training with the team.

The most annoying thing is not this, but the endorsement contracts between Ye Si and local companies.

Like the Seattle SuperSonics, although Leafs quit the NBA for three years, local companies in Seattle did not terminate their endorsement contracts with Leafs.

What a joke, Yes originally didn’t want to accept these endorsement contracts. If it was really terminated because of Yes’ temporary retirement, wouldn’t that just give Yes an excuse not to accept the endorsements?

Not only did these Seattle SuperSonics local companies not require him to shoot commercials or attend any events, they simply gave him money for free in the past three years and allowed him to travel around the world.

With Yess and Bezos working together to develop Yes Sports, and with Yess's increasing stake in Amazon, he is not short of money and does not need to accept these endorsements at all.

In fact, except for endorsements from local companies in Seattle, Yease has stopped accepting other NBA-related endorsements.

Not only the NBA-related endorsements are not accepted, but other endorsements are also unavailable.

The only endorsement that Yes is interested in now is his sneaker endorsement with yes sports.

But obviously, he can't turn down these local endorsement contracts in Seattle.

This is not a question of money, this is a question of favor.

Why can the Seattle SuperSonics get support from top to bottom in Seattle?

Isn't it because Ye's rise is not only in the interests of the Sonics, but also in the interests of Seattle as a whole?

Almost all of Seattle is profiting from his rise.

We are all grasshoppers tied to a rope now.

Yeas may not care about the opinions of other places in the United States, but Seattle is different. Not only does he need to show his value, he also needs to let the people of Seattle see that his value is tied to them.

People who eat alone will not be welcomed wherever they go.

After three years of break, there are so many relationships, favors and advertising endorsements to deal with.

This is much more difficult than running in with teammates.

Fortunately, although the companies that Ye Si cooperates with are all local companies in Seattle, do the local companies in Seattle and the local companies in Cleveland mean the same thing?

Of course it doesn't mean the same thing. The local businesses in Seattle are much bigger and have too many regulations, but there are not so many bullshit things for Ye Si to worry about.

After finishing these things, just in time, the contract between the Seattle SuperSonics and Rondo was finally finalized.

Rondo's low-profile return and acknowledgment of his mistakes was finally forgiven by other Seattle SuperSonics players.

After all, after Rondo did such a cruel thing to Popovich, he really couldn't survive in the NBA.

If the Seattle SuperSonics don't want him, he will really die from this world.

Whether it is Tucker, Millsap, Milicic or other Seattle SuperSonics players, it can basically be said that Rondo and I grew up together, accepted criticism from the United States together, and endured criticism together.

Although I was very disdainful of the behavior of Rondo, a 25-year-old white-eyed wolf.

But even when he hated Rondo the most, didn't he tell Ye Si about Rondo's supercilious attitude?

Similarly, Rondo had such a big quarrel with the rest of the team at that time. In the last period of time, he still endured it and continued to be squeezed and manipulated by Tucker and the others without complaining, for fear that Ye Si would see some clues.

, which disrupted the atmosphere of the team's third consecutive dynasty.

Whether Rondo or other Sonics players still have a sliver of affection for each other.

Even Durant, when I saw on the Internet that someone was using Ye Si's departure as a way to bring the rhythm to Rondo, didn't he cleverly bring the rhythm to James?

After so many years of growing up together and getting shot together, the relationship is still very deep.

If Rondo really does well outside, maybe everyone really has to retire before they can let go of each other's feelings.

But Rondo is in such a miserable state now. Since he has such a good attitude in admitting his mistakes and is even willing to accept a four-year, $4 million contract that is lower than the contract of the Sonics' second-round pick, they can't bear to feel that they are now desperate.

Rondo shouted to fight and kill.

It's like spending $1 million a year to hire an ace masseur and luggage porter.

As for those who still have bad anger towards Rondo, there will be plenty of opportunities to vent on this "Long Fifteenth" in the future.

Yeas never intervened in the affairs between Rondo and other Sonics players from beginning to end.

He knows very well that until Rondo is forgiven by other SuperSonics players, his intervention will only be counterproductive. The more he supports Rondo, the greater the resistance of other SuperSonics players to Rondo.

Whether Rondo stays or goes is decided by other Sonics players.

It can only be said that these Sonics players who once wanted to wipe Rondo out of the universe still can't be the most cruel to Rondo.

After all, I still loved you.

After the Seattle SuperSonics signed Rondo, compared to other Sonics players who were gearing up to kill Rondo, Nelson was actually the happiest one.

Rondo's scoring ability is indeed poor, but besides scoring, his other abilities are indeed strong.

In the Spurs, Rondo is a cancer, and no one can control him, but in the SuperSonics, Rondo dares to play cancer?

Next season he will play the five-small tactic in the team. There is nothing wrong with this, but it is impossible to play the five-small tactic in every game, or even in the entire game.

How did Cole and Master Romar play the fifth child?

The self-healing ability of NBA teams is so strong. They have the best players in the world. No tactic is invincible. If you use it too much, it will be thoroughly studied.

Including the previous blame-shifting system, run-and-gun system, etc.

Even the Warriors' five tactics were finally figured out by the Cavaliers in this year's finals, right?

Eggs cannot be put into one basket. How could Nelson not understand this?

The Seattle SuperSonics need a regular lineup and a regular tactical system.

The current Seattle SuperSonics did not have players with such a system before acquiring Rondo.

Milicic, Millsap, Gobert, Nick Collison, Durant, Leonard, Antetokounmpo, Danny Green, Tucker, Perry Jones, Yee, James Harden, Reggie

Jackson, Ingalls.

There are fourteen players, except for Yee and James Harden who are the starters, and Reggie Jackson can handle the ball as a substitute. This is too dangerous.

Reggie Jackson is not a player who can control the rhythm.

It can be said that the Seattle SuperSonics lineup needs a traditional point guard.

There is no doubt that Rondo is definitely a historical traditional point guard in addition to his scoring ability.

Maybe the Seattle SuperSonics will go smoothly next season and won't need to use Rondo or a traditional point guard in a game, but if necessary, the Seattle SuperSonics cannot do without them.

This is the value Rondo gives to the Seattle SuperSonics in Nelson's opinion.

With a 1 million contract, there is no player more suitable than Rondo to make up for this shortcoming of the Sonics.

Of course, it would be fine if Billups wanted to come, but obviously, he won't come.

To be honest, Nelson still has his own thoughts on the problems the Seattle SuperSonics will face next season.

After all, this offseason, the Warriors, Lakers, Cavaliers and SuperSonics have all exceeded the luxury tax, and the four teams are all engaged in an arms race in a sense.

Moreover, the Cavaliers, Lakers and Warriors all have good reinforcements.

The opponent is too strong, so of course he will be under pressure as the head coach.

Especially he still needs to fulfill his dream.

If the pressure is too great and the team's performance is poor, his dream will not be fulfilled.

Of course, Nelson feels that there will be huge pressure next season, which will be a big pain for Antetokounmpo and Gobert.

After Yeas finished training with other Sonics players, Antetokounmpo and Gobert, as well as Whiteside, who signed a two-way contract with the team from China, were left to accept Nelson's offer.

Coaching and playing in the summer league.

Yeas, on the other hand, is going to China with Durant, James Harden and his beloved apprentice Leonard.

As the face of yes sports, Yes has not been in the NBA in the past three years, so his signature sneakers are considered out of date.

However, his fifth-generation yes has been ready for a long time, and it will be fully distributed when he comes back this time.

In order to give the fifth generation of yes to a good start, Bezos deliberately placed the launch location in China.

Moreover, all the major contracted stars of yes Sports were in attendance.

On the special plane from the United States to the imperial capital, there were not only three yes sports contract stars, Ye Si, Durant and James Harden, but also...

"Yes, I envy you so much!"

Kobe Bryant, NBA superstar, in the three years since Yes left, Kobe used his crazy scoring to attract countless fans around the world. After Yes left, Kobe became the face of yes sports.

Kobe never had a contract after he left Adidas because of that incident. Because he had a good relationship with Yes, and Yes and Bezos didn't care about the black spots on him, so they signed a contract with Yes Sports.

Now it seems that this is one of Bezos's best signings. In the three years since Yes left the NBA, Kobe played a major role in defeating Nike in basketball for Yes Sports.

Kobe's crazy performance in the past three years has allowed Yes Sports to continue to crush Nike.
To be continued...
