Marc Gasol, Ibaka and James Harden came to the Seattle SuperSonics to sign with the Seattle SuperSonics at almost the same time. It was not a coincidence.

Instead, the Seattle SuperSonics unified the signing dates of the three.

This is also related to the fact that the Seattle SuperSonics did not gain anything in this year's huge free market.

Other teams have more or less made some gains in this year's free market.

Only the Seattle SuperSonics did not gain anything at all, which really made the Seattle SuperSonics lose face. Both the team's general manager and management were complained about by die-hard Coconut Pippen.

Pippen complained about Yes's poor eloquence and his inability to recruit free agents. That's love. He thought Yes was cute, honest, upright, and full of idealistic dream halo, just like the characters in fairy tales and novels.

But when Pippen complained about Presti and the rest of the Sonics front office, it wasn't love.

"After the historic trade, the Seattle SuperSonics completed the reconstruction in two years and unexpectedly won the championship. When a team achieves such great results, we always want to praise the team in all aspects.

From the management to the players, we all praise the greatness of the team, but unfortunately, the one we praise the most is Yes. This is not our preference for Yes. In fact, in essence, the Seattle SuperSonics, regardless of

Neither the management nor the players are that good. This is not an offense to Kevin. He is an excellent player and an excellent comrade, but he himself will admit where his excellence comes from."

"The whole world knows that yes has been carrying a heavy burden in the past two years, but it is difficult for the world to imagine what kind of weight yes is carrying!"

"We carried the worst team in history and perhaps the worst management to win a championship from scratch in two years. This is the weight on Yes's back and the reason why it is incredible."

"I once said that no player in Seattle is worthy of Yes. In the end, I was slapped in the face by Yes. He trained some losers and recognized garbage very well."

"Now, I would say, yes, it's time to build a group of qualified managers for himself. He doesn't need to be a general manager like LeBron James, but he at least has someone who knows what he wants to take care of him.

Of all people, his strongest team leadership ability in history can turn losers and rubbish players into treasures, but there is no way to turn losers and rubbish management into treasures!"

"If the Seattle SuperSonics had a great general manager, the SuperSonics wouldn't need Yes to come forward and draft. This general manager would take care of everything so that Seattle's two important first-round picks this year would not be selected.

Harden and Ibaka!”

"Yes is a great player. As the closest comrade of Michael, the greatest player ever, I am willing to call Yes the greatest player in NBA history. This is on the court and off the court. He really needs help."

"If it weren't for Michael's existence, I would actually prefer to say that yes's management team is the worst in NBA history. This is not disrespectful to Michael. His achievements in team management are as good as anyone with a normal IQ in the league.

The difference in grade.”

After the season ended, Pippen recently expressed his full enthusiasm for the Seattle SuperSonics' work this summer, whether on the Internet or on television.

This puts great pressure on the Seattle SuperSonics' management.

The reason why Pippen's complaints have such great influence is obviously because the things he said hit the pain points of Coconut fans and Sonics fans, and they won unanimous approval.

Simply put, fans are worried about the Seattle SuperSonics' operations this summer, very worried!

Durant was injured and almost ended the season. The team suffered the loss of such a fighting force, and its strength has dropped significantly. In addition, the team is the defending champion and the target of the entire league. If it does not advance, it will retreat. What's more, it is still like this

In the state of planting a target.

It would be really strange if this wasn't worrying.

It can be said that there is a huge voice on the Internet and in public opinion about replacing the Seattle SuperSonics' management.

Although Presti knows that the management he leads has the full support of Yes, there is no danger of him being dismissed from the Seattle SuperSonics.

But he is still quite sad to be complained about by so many people. He is indeed lacking in eloquence, and his signing of free agents is not of a good standard. When it comes to transactions, he has no connections, but it is not that he has not worked hard.

Ibaka, Harden and Gasol were all signed by him.

It's just obvious that no matter how aggrieved Presti is, he can't tell anyone that he was the one who signed these three people.

Now the entire fan group is dissatisfied with him, James Harden and Ibaka. If he really speaks out, he is not justifying, he is committing suicide. The fans' saliva can drown him and Harden and Ibaka.

It turns out that the undercover agent next to yes is you, the general manager of the team!

These crazy fans will come to their senses, for sure.

Presti does not dare to fight with the fans head-on, but he is also a very characterful person. He cannot fight hard, but he can fight softly.

Aren't you complaining that I'm a waste?

Aren’t you complaining that we don’t have reinforcements?

I just want to give you the largest signing ceremony!

I want to tell the whole world that the strongest man is already in the battle!

Presti really took great pains to prepare for this signing ceremony. Not only did he invite all current Sonics players from the team who were not on vacation to welcome the three new players, but he also invited a large number of media.

This posture is simply comparable to the appearance ceremony of James, Bosh and Ben Gordon of the Heat some time ago.

James, Bosh, Ben Gordon...

Harden, Gasol, Ibaka...

It's just that the difference between these cards is really huge.

It's so big that Gasol, Harden and Ibaka themselves feel very embarrassed.

Facing the silence of the fans in the audience, it was really embarrassing for the three new Seattle SuperSonics players to stand on the stage that Presti had built for them.

"Yes, Seattle fans are not allowed to boo their players, so Seattle fans are silent towards them. This is the most serious way for Seattle fans to vent their dissatisfaction against their players."

"I swear, if it weren't for yes's order, these Seattle fans would definitely boo Harden and Ibaka to death!"

"Presti is really a talent. I heard that when he invited the Seattle SuperSonics players to watch the ceremony, he only gave the Seattle SuperSonics players one hour to think about it. I have never seen such a weird thing in my life.

General manager, doesn’t he realize that most Sonics players don’t welcome Harden and Ibaka?”

"Now that I think about it, Pippen is really right. The burden on Yes has been too great in the past two years. We have only seen the SuperSonics players holding back Yes. We need Yes to lead it. We really didn't have it before.

Realize that the Sonics have an even more incredible management team!"

"Otherwise, do you think the most unlucky player in history is a joke? Do you think the most hellish start in history is a joke? James even dared to say that he had an unsatisfactory life in the Cleveland Cavaliers and was cheated by the team owner.

Even if you live and die without looking at Yes, what did he say? Didn’t you still win the championship in a crazy division like the Western Conference in two years? "

"That's why Pippen said that Yes is the greatest player? Comparing Jordan with Yes is still a comparison. Comparing James with Yes is not bullying James? Hahahaha..."

"What a joke, are you bullying James by comparing James with Yes? Yes is great, but I only know that the king of the NBA next season will definitely not be Yes. No matter how great the objective difficulties Yes face, in the NBA, it will always be

It’s all about the winner!”

The impact of this signing ceremony that Presti arranged to imitate the appearance of the Heat's Big Four was very 'big', or in other words, very bad.

The fans were silent, and the media below were quarreling between the coconut powder media and the coconut black media. The entire signing ceremony was a mess.

Seeing the scene like this, even Ye Si frowned.

Presti on the other side looked dumbfounded.

Yesi is very satisfied with Presti's ability.

From the way he can identify Westbrook and James Harden at a glance, this is outstanding.

You know, Westbrook and Harden both have five-star cards in the superstar system!

This shows that the future achievements of these two people will be superstars!

He has a superstar system and knows how to select people, but Presti does not have a superstar system.

only……

In addition to his excellent draft vision, Presti's management skills, to be honest, are very, very average, and can even be described as terrible.

However, this is no wonder Presti. After graduating from college in 2000, Presti worked for the Spurs for six years, most of which were scouting-related jobs.

His talent is outstanding, but he is still a little too young. He has nothing but ability, IQ, and talent. He has no experience, no connections, and not enough experience.

Being a good general manager in the NBA requires more than just ability and IQ.

An event that Presti was supposed to do to highlight his work with the Seattle SuperSonics ended up being messed up by Presti, and it was messed up very badly.

In the end, the three rookies of the Seattle SuperSonics were quite embarrassed.

"Mark, don't worry, they are not targeting you."

Gasol nodded to agent Dean Simmons' comfort.

Of course it wasn't directed at him, he could see that.

When he was introduced just now, the fans and media below gave him applause, although it was very chaotic at that time.

He is different from Ibaka. Although he is also a newcomer, he is the MVP of the Spanish League!

In the current world basketball world, the NBA is certainly unique, and apart from the NBA, the Spanish League is definitely the first-tier mainstream league. As the best player in such a league, his strength can still give Seattle fans hope.

The expectations he can feel are not only the fans, but also the expectations of the Seattle SuperSonics.

This can be seen from the contract given to him by the SuperSonics. The rookie contract is 10 million for three years, and his buyout fee in the Spanish League does not need to be paid by him, but by the team.

It can be said that the price the Seattle SuperSonics paid for him is definitely equivalent to signing a player with a top-five pick.

Being valued like this by the Seattle SuperSonics gives Gasol a very good feeling.

At least this will give him the feeling that this is a team with a future.

What's more, this team is still... yes!

Gasol couldn't help but look at the young man surrounded by the media. He knew this young man very well.

Even in Spain, the country of football, yes's reputation is quite big.
