The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 135 Supersonic's Asking Price!Choose the champion professional household - the Magic team!

"The opposite side did not deny the feasibility of the transaction, but they don't really want to trade Ray Allen away now."

Old Nelson's tone was flat, and there was no surprise.

"Even if it is decided to rebuild, after all, the team will still have to sell tickets for the next dozens of games."

The old man made a joke, and then said,

"Just like we thought before, they are not interested in Stephen and Al."

"So, what kind of bargaining chip do they ask for, will there be Monta?" Zhang Bolong asked.

Today, Monta Ellis's talent can be regarded as blind, and this lottery ticket can almost be said to have scratched the word "Congratulations."

The Sonics are going to be rebuilt, and this kind of promising new star player is definitely very attractive.

"That's right, Monta and Jason, as well as this year's and next year's first-round picks." Old Nelson replied.

Zhang Bolong has also thought about this chip. Compared with Szczerbiak, Jason Richardson is undoubtedly a better choice.

In the last season, Richardson made all 75 starts and averaged 23.2 points per game, which fully proved his strength.

Moreover, this year's "Slam Dunk King" is only 25 years old. He is young, has a lot of potential to tap, and can make up for the loss of Ray Allen's departure with explosive dunks. No matter how you look at it, he is an excellent candidate. chips.

"Supersonic is really good at picking." Zhang Bolong held his forehead and smiled.

What the Warriors can offer is even better than what the Celtics offered in their previous life.

Jason Richardson is enough to beat Szczerbiak, and West and an unscratched lottery ticket can't be compared with Ellis now.

"Yeah," Old Nelson also laughed, "Actually, they don't need Jason very much, but we have to consider the factors of position and salary. If we are willing to pay these prices, then this deal may be concluded soon, The Sonics are also willing to give a second-round pick this year as compensation."

"What do you think, Tang." Zhang Bolong threw the question to Old Nelson.

"The Supersonics will lower their price," Nelson said affirmatively. "I don't think Ray's arrival will bring about a qualitative change in the team. Although the starting strength has been strengthened, Monta's scoring point is missing from the bench."

"Even in the playoffs, we can't go far."

Zhang Bolong nodded, and continued what Old Nelson said.

Although the Warriors are fully capable of icing on the cake and bursting out at multiple points, only Ellis' ghostly breakthrough on the bench can break the deadlock and send charcoal in a timely manner.

In the playoffs, you come and go, bayonets are popular, such scoring methods are often an indispensable factor for a team to win.

Even if these two are exchanged for Ray Allen, are the current Warriors sure to beat the bulls, horses, suns, and the Lakers who got Davis?

not at all.

On the contrary, it is easy to destroy the team's current good chemistry.

In the end, the two decided to put the transaction on hold for the time being, and at the same time press down on the Sonics' offer.

Zhang Bolong who hung up the phone couldn't help feeling emotional.

In his previous life, when he played the 2K Dynasty mode on the computer, it was easy to make a deal, and he didn't even take the first round pick seriously.

But in the reality that I personally experienced, not to mention the transactions involving the main players of the team, even a second-round pick is also a precious asset.

……

On December 2006, 12, the Warriors came to Orlando to challenge the Orlando Magic led by "Warcraft" Howard.

Speaking of the Magic, the team that was established in 1989 is still a "minor" this year.

One day in September 1985, Pat Williams, now the senior vice president of the Magic, was preparing a speech in Orlando.

At the time, Orlando had nothing but world-famous Disneyland, and Williams saw a business opportunity.

He joked with banker Jim Hewitt, why doesn't the NBA come to Florida?
The proposal piqued Hewitt's interest, and he had a meeting with NBA Commissioner David Stern shortly after.

A week later, Pat Williams received a call from Jim Hewitt and learned that Orlando's application had been approved by the NBA.

This is the birth history of the Magic team, which is as simple as it is somewhat random.

However, despite a somewhat sloppy birth, the Magic's rise has been quite rapid, like performing a wonderful magic trick in the league.

When the first month of the 1989-1990 season passed, the fledgling team was 7 wins and 7 losses, creating the best record for a rookie in the NBA.

Immediately afterwards, Orlando's home games were sold out for 33 consecutive games. In this entire season, their average attendance rate reached as many as 15000 people.

In the third year after the establishment of the team, the 1992 draft, many fans are already familiar with it by now.

The Orlando Magic selected one of the most dominant players in history (maybe not one), "Shark" O'Neal with the No. [-] pick.

Then, after they won the No. 1993 pick in [-], they selected Chris Webber and immediately traded with the Warriors who selected "Penny" Anfernee Hardaway.

O'Neal and Hardaway, this pair of young and energetic geniuses, will shock the entire NBA in the next 3 years.

In the 1993-1994 season, the Magic had 50 wins and 32 losses in the regular season. Such a record is a very remarkable achievement for a new team that has only joined the NBA for 5 years.

The "big shark" who shocked the league averaged 29.3 points per game. If it weren't for the "Admiral" David Robinson of the Spurs who "scored" 71 points in the last game, O'Neal would have won the championship. Scoring leader of the season.

In the 1994-1995 season, the Magic ranked first in the Eastern Conference with an impressive record of 57 wins and 25 losses, and then eliminated the Celtics, Bulls and Pacers in the playoffs, miraculously reaching the finals.

Although the Magic, which made their debut in the finals for the first time, was eventually swept by the experienced defending champion Rockets 4-0, but this young and energetic team has already proved itself.

O'Neal averaged 3 points per game again in the third year of his career, and finally won the honor of the regular season scoring champion.

In the 1995-1996 season, the Magic scored 60 wins and 22 losses in the regular season, but "Flying Man" Jordan led the Bulls to an incredible 72 wins and 10 losses. Although the Magic were full of momentum, they could not break through the Bulls.

In the summer of 1996, the "Sharks" traveled westward to Los Angeles. O'Neal's "defection" also seriously injured the Magic, and they have never won a playoff series since then.

Although the magic stars in the "post-O'Neal era" are not bleak, such as "Penny" Hardaway, Grant Hill, the two-time scoring champion and the winner of the "Most Beautiful Calf" award with the white horse silver gun, McGrady and others shine, but they have lost their big insiders. The nuclear magic does not have the strength and luck to hit the playoffs at all.

In the 2003-2004 season, the Magic's record of 21 wins and 61 losses was the worst in history, but this poor result also brought another No. [-] pick to the Magic.

Following the two superstars O'Neal and Chris Webber, the Magic used this No. [-] pick to select high school student Dwight Howard.

Five years later, people who once debated who is better between Howard and Emeka Okafor are finally amazed by it——

Pick the No. [-] pick, the Magic are professional!
