Chapter 929: They Are All Talented!

According to NBA rules, when a team has more than 16 players with official contracts, the extra player must be removed before the start of the NBA regular season.

No matter what method is used, an NBA team can only have 15 players at most.

The current Seattle SuperSonics are very embarrassed.

The 16 players with formal contracts are not two-way contracts.

Therefore, even the move of decentralizing the Development League is useless.

The current Seattle SuperSonics is really not embarrassing for media experts, it is really embarrassing.

Those players on the SuperSonics team, especially the veterans, are really reluctant to leave.

Dynasty, three consecutive championships, what a legend and glory this is!

It is difficult for anyone to pass up such an opportunity.

The Sonics' current management philosophy is also quite humane.

In the past, there was no goal and no program. I simply felt that I could not treat the heroes badly.

This time Presti went to Phoenix and listened to Jerry West and Pat Riley's sword debate, but he had already directly adapted Jerry West's theory of building a dynasty into the Sonics. Action plan for the future.

These heroic veterans of the Sonics will be the treasures of the Sonics in building a dynasty and culture in the future, and they cannot be disappointed.

This kind of thing is not the fault of the players in the first place. It is the team's management that failed to handle the team's affairs well. Why should the players take the blame?

If you really want to casually lay off the most worthless player, how will you let the other players think?

Quentin Richardson or Wilkins are indeed not of that great value, but they have also saved blood for the team. Even if they have to leave, it will be Ingles or Danny Green, Lawson and others. There are no players who have made contributions to the team, right?

But although these young players have not yet made contributions to the team.

But Danny Green is a player that Presti likes, and he was picked up in the second round. How can he let him go so easily?

And Ty Lawson is the childhood sweetheart of Durant, the team's second or third eldest brother, and was selected by the team with the first round pick.

As for Ingles, this is a repayment panel for the SuperSonics and Yes. If you throw him away, Yes and the SuperSonics will be laughed at!

Favor!

It's all a favor!

Cutting off veterans who don't have much value directly breaks the team's values ​​and chills the hearts of the heroes.

Cutting off young players who have not yet established their careers is either a matter of reluctance or a matter of face and favor.

Presti really has a headache now.

As a general manager, if something like this happens to the team, it is his responsibility. This is a responsibility that he cannot shirk even if he wants to.

If this matter is not handled well, others will definitely laugh at you.

Being laughed at by others is secondary, but mainly because of one bad thing, the team's unity atmosphere will immediately collapse!

"Every time something like this happens to the Sonics, I will sigh. Yes's ability to achieve such achievements in the NBA is really a chestnut from the fire. This is truly the result of crawling out of hell."

"The sinkholes around Yes are sometimes beyond our imagination. There is nothing supersonic can't do. Really anything can happen."

"What is the unluckiest person in history? This is the unluckiest person in history. Any unlucky thing can happen to him!"

"The probability of such an unprofessional behavior in such an extremely professional place like the NBA is even lower than the probability of that big-mouthed guy from New York being elected President of the United States.

Yes, I am so blessed. "

"Hahahaha, I am indeed very blessed. I just don't know if the people in the United States will be so blessed in the future. What a blessing from heaven!"

Originally, public opinion across the NBA was focused on the arms race between the Lakers and the Heat, and who of the two teams would be the winner next season. I really didn't expect that the SuperSonics would steal the headlines in this way.

Seeing Ye Si and the Sonics steal the headlines in this way, James was a little bit dumbfounded.

What's funny is that these "pig teammates" of Yes are really cheating.

He can do this kind of thing. Even if he were the general manager, he wouldn't be able to do such an amateurish thing.

What makes me cry is that Yes, with such a bunch of pig teammates, actually won the championship before him. This year's finals even swept him and his Heat 4-0.

Of course, these are all old almanacs.

After acquiring Ray Allen, the Heat now are two completely different teams from the Heat last season.

Although the SuperSonics' big show made James feel a little bit dumbfounded when watching it, crying is still not really crying, the main thing is laughing.

While he was laughing, James was congratulating himself on how lucky he was to have a great team.

This Sonics team is even worse than his original Cavaliers team.

Now the SuperSonics suddenly exploded with such a big melon.

Many people want to watch the excitement and see whether the Sonics will eventually have problems because of such a big melon.

However, these onlookers were quickly disappointed.

Just when many people are looking forward to what method the SuperSonics will use to decide which of the sixteen players to lay off, Seattle SuperSonics player Quentin Richardson, who is on vacation, has not yet returned to the team. , announced his retirement directly online.

When Quentin Richardson announced his retirement, he did not communicate with the team or even notify the team in advance. Of course, the team did not know about it. It was entirely Quentin Richardson's own initiative.

At the same time, when Quentin Richardson announced his retirement, Seattle SuperSonics general manager Presti received Wilkins, Nick Collison, Tucker, Ibaka, Sessions, etc. Circle players’ trade requests.

Except for this year's two rookies, as well as Ye Si, Durant, Rondo, Milicic, Millsap, Quentin Richard and Harden, everyone else on the team has submitted transactions to the team. Apply.

In the Seattle SuperSonics general manager's office, Yee, Durant, Rondo, and all the Sonics players who had returned from vacation looked at each other in confusion.

"You, you actually..."

Tucker was surprised. He thought he was the only one who thought of such a method.

And Rondo glanced at Tucker with disdain. With your IQ, if you can think of it, how could others not think of it?

but……

Rondo was still quite surprised.

The temptation of the Triple Crown...

These rubbish guys were so persistent before, but now they actually give up just for the sake of team unity and not to cause trouble to Yes.

Humph, these people are really rubbish, but being the second master's little brother is just barely enough.

From now on, when the second master becomes the boss of the Seattle SuperSonics, I won’t be able to purge you!

Players who had never wanted to leave the Sonics before had collectively submitted applications to leave the team at this time.

This really surprised Presti, Yease and Nelson, and of course the players themselves were also surprised.

However, after being surprised, Harden, the only one who did not submit an application to leave the team, felt that he was being closely watched...

Stare~!

"Is there something wrong with this situation?!"

Feeling the very unfriendly eyes of his teammates, James' innocent eyes kept blinking.

It's just that no matter how innocent James Harden's eyes are at this time, there is no way to bounce back those 'unkind' eyes.

Durant, Rondo, Milicic, and Millsap, these four team starters are the backbone of the team. They must not leave. They themselves know very well that if they submit an application to leave the team, that is for Ye Ye. This adds to the chaos.

Do you think James Harden is a ball?

You don’t even have such an awareness?

Tucker has this awareness, but your IQ is not as good as Tucker? No way?

Or do you, a player from a garbage club, feel that you are not garbage, and that you are the same as Durant, Rondo, Millsap, and Milicic, who accompany Yes and support the pillars of the Yes dynasty?

Seeing this, James Harden was ignited by such a group of people.

As a good friend, Gasol is really dumbfounded.

This kid is usually very clever, but why does he always act stupid at this critical moment?

He really deserves to be bullied so badly.

With your current situation of being in the center of the axis and in the alliance, how can you have a good relationship with others?

but……

Gasol looked at the sweat on the bearded face, and Gasol's eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems that James has exposed his ambition this time. He has always felt that he is different from other role players in the Sonics.

He should be the same as Durant.

This guy!

I am really spoiled by Yes.

Even if he and Barea were so praised for their performance last season, they didn't have such thoughts.

James Harden felt very sad. He really didn't expect that such an incident would expose the "harmless" image he maintained.

This makes people passive. Offending Rondo and Durant already made him suffer so much in the team, but now...

Looking at the unkind looks from other Sonics players, James Harden is already worried about himself next season.

Fortunately, he is still a small figure in the hearts of other Sonics players. They only wanted to warn him not to dream about nothing. He was just used as an undercover agent in the finals, so he forgot his identity. Already?

So, after James Harden said he was wrong with his innocent eyes, those electric eyes were removed from his body.

This made James Harden also breathe a sigh of relief.

But while he was relieved, James Harden was a little aggrieved.

If you don't have ambition when playing next to Yes, what's the difference? !

Usually these guys look down on him and always go to the young ladies.

But does he really want to become a superstar?

When I go to other teams, I often enlighten the young ladies that they are a little stuck and they really can’t have both of them as superstars.

But what if by Yes' side, he can really be supported by Yes and become a superstar while enlightening the young ladies?

With such thoughts, how could he give up such an opportunity and leave Yes!

but……

Feeling aggrieved, James Harden still respects these teammates who criticized him.

It is because he knows what it means to be by Yes' side that he respects these people and can give up such opportunities to sacrifice, and at the same time give up his own opportunities and values ​​for the glory of Yes.

These people are all much nobler than him...

The team needs someone to leave, and before the team can find a suitable way, the end result is that the players who were unwilling to leave before are rushing to leave on their own.

This is something Presti and the others didn't expect.

Originally, their management was still calculating how to let players leave in a way that would cause the least harm.

However, unexpectedly, looking at these Sonics players, Presti also admired Jerry West's dynasty theory even more.

When you are sincerely willing to sacrifice for merit, merit will reward you with more sacrifices. As long as you have enough IQ to make deals with honest people, it is a blessing to suffer losses.

"Be kind to meritorious service, be kind to meritorious officials..."

Presti now understands Jerry West's theoretical system better.

These people are willing to do this for the team before they have reached their highest achievements.

When they retire with honor and fame one by one, Presti believes that they will be like Jerry West and Russell who pushed the Lakers and Celtics to become giants. The SuperSonics will also become a giant in the future!

Yes is a supersonic God, but even God needs the support of angels like Michael if he wants to build heaven.

What was originally a joke that the world was prepared to watch turned out to be a time for the Sonics to show the world the cohesion of their team.

Although everyone knows that the Sonics have a strong cohesion, it was still shocking after the Sonics' applications for leaving the team were exposed by "Not fifteen but second".

"I couldn't bear that the two bosses of the team were both Libras, so I wanted to leave."

"I'm really worried that if I continue to stay with Yes, I won't even be able to eat in the future. "

"My PP is too small and this place is not suitable for me."

"There is only Yes in the eyes of female fans in Seattle. It is not easy to solve the single problem here."

…

…

Looking at all the applications to leave the team, Kobe and Nash, who had been a little depressed recently, were both smiling from ear to ear.

"These little guys from the Sonics are so interesting. They are all talented individuals."

"Yeah, it's really fun."

Nash smiled and nodded.

After the formation of the Lakers' F5, many people are talking about what will happen to the Lakers next season, whether it is possible for the Lakers to go 82 wins and zero losses or create a new best record in the regular season and win the most terrifying championship that sweeps the league.

As for the defending champion SuperSonics, they have always been ignored.

"Although the management of the SuperSonics is terrible, this team built by a great teacher cannot be underestimated."

It really should not be underestimated. He has never seen such interesting people and interesting teams.

None of the SuperSonics players who left the team for various weird reasons ended up leaving the team.

They are leaving the team, and Quentin Richardson is retiring. Retirement is of course the priority.

"This has been a great nine years. I have no regrets in my basketball career. Thank you basketball, thank you Seattle, thank you Yes!"

Amid crazy applause and cheers, Quentin Richardson, a legendary shooter who has played in the NBA for nine years and a two-time championship, officially announced his retirement.

The next day, Quentin Richardson accepted the Sonics' invitation and officially became the team's assistant coach and shooting coach.
