Chapter 1006 You come to the draft and I choose the coach



No matter how much the media complains about Carlesimo, it is only to make up for the matter. The more they hype, the more Carlesimo refuses to accept the contract offered by the team. His agent also thinks it is It's a good time to use the pressure of the media to "force" the Sonics to make concessions, the more they insist on their own conditions. (eng&spes;レ

No matter how Presti explained it to them, they misunderstood that Presti's weakness was due to Chris Hansen's loose attitude, but they didn't know that the reason Presti couldn't be cruel was because cooperation over the years.

Although forcibly suspending the cooperation between the two will cause reputation damage, although the reputation of killing donkeys and hiding all birds is a kind of harm to the team, but the power is not as powerful as Carlesimo imagined So big, no, the Supersonics haven’t let out rumors that they are going to change their head coach. Several people have already come to their door. It was quite intense, and Carlesimo was so busy with the supersonic that he was vomiting, but he didn't know that he would always be passive in this respect.

Stephen also came forward to persuade Carlesimo, but at this time Carlesimo's stubbornness committed a crime. No matter what Stephen said, he said that this is a matter between him and the team. I hope Stephen will not interfere. In the end, Stephen also If you get angry, just ignore it. Who will be the head coach basically has no effect on Stephen, so Stephen doesn't want to care so much.

In the end, under the urging of Chris Hansen, Presti sent an ultimatum to Carlesimo, clearly telling Carlesimo, either accept the two-year contract of 700 million yuan, or end this time Negotiations, and until this time, Carlesimo and his agent are still very superstitious about the power of the media, thinking that the Sonics will never dare to risk the world's disgrace, but Presti announced to the media, Since no agreement can be reached on the salary, the Supersonics and Carlesimo are here to stay. I hope that Carlesimo will do well in the future, and the Supersonics will start the coaching work. [

At this time, Carlesimo knew that the Sonics were really playing with him. He and his agent miscalculated the situation and paid a heavy price. In fact, although the annual salary of 350 million US dollars did not satisfy Carlesimo, But it's acceptable, after all, working in the Sonics is easy and pleasant.

After the finals, the media began to shift their attention to the highlight of the summer operation, which is the annual draft. The most eye-catching thing is what choice the Houston Rockets will make, because in the previous At the lottery ceremony, the Los Angeles Clippers were very lucky and unfortunately got the No. [-] pick. Because of Coupard's trade, they traded this first-round pick to the Seattle SuperSonics, and then the Seattle Supersonics followed Yao Yao Ming was traded to the Houston Rockets, which means that the Rockets traded Yao Ming for another champion.

After nearly a season of frustration, the Houston Rockets finally felt a sense of relief, and then began to count the lucky ones in this year's rookie list.

Since the Seattle SuperSonics rank first in the league, they are naturally the last in the first round or the second round. In addition, this year's rookies are of different standards, so Presti has no hope of being able to have a chance in the draft. What kind of harvest, last season's harvest was already very rich, it is basically impossible to have such good luck at this time, but if you can move the draft pick higher, there are still a few good seedlings in it.

The Houston Rockets have been hesitating whether they should continue to choose a tall center in accordance with the tradition. They are looking at Hashem Thabeet, who is [-] meters tall, from the University of Connecticut. In addition to the height advantage, another reason is that when he immigrated from Tanzania, the city he settled in was Houston, and he should have a sense of belonging here.

But Daryl Morey disagrees with choosing this guy. The reason is that choosing him requires taking too much risk. There are very few players around [-] meters who can play well. People like Yao Ming are hard to come by. , but his reason cannot be stated so directly, because it is too untechnical.

It is precisely because the Houston Rockets have a center complex that Hashim Thabeet has also entered the top candidates. It turns out that this list only includes Blake Griffin and Ricky Rubio from the University of Oklahoma.

But at this time, Daryl Morey used his own data analysis method to propose a new candidate, that is, James Harden, a combo guard from the University of California. His flexible speed allows him to play point guard and has a strong body. It also allows him to play shooting guard. He has good passing ability and strong scoring ability. He has rich and diverse offensive methods and a positive defensive attitude. He basically has no obvious shortcomings. Even if you choose him He can't perform too well, but he certainly won't be too bad, so the risk of choosing him is the smallest.

As a businessman, Alexander doesn't like taking risks, especially when taking risks doesn't bring him much benefit. Although Hashim Thabeet has a height advantage, he lacks the corresponding proof, unlike Yao Ming who already has I have worked hard in professional games for many years. Although there is an old saying about the draft: "When you don't know who to pick, pick a big player", but in the case of relatively high risks, Alexander still wants to be more secure.

The draft is getting closer day by day. Regarding who to choose, the Rockets still don’t have a good plan. Blake Griffin, Ricky Rubio, James Harden, Hashem Thabeet, everyone has such advantages And disadvantages, everyone has their reasons for choosing them, and at the same time they also have reasons for giving up them. Although the number one lottery can choose anyone as they like, the disadvantage is that there are too many choices to choose from, which makes people feel a little dizzy. chaos".

Other teams are busy drafting, only the Sonics officially started coaching. The No. 30 first-round pick is really worthless. Know who the 29 teams in front will choose, so there is no need to predict anything, rank the players you want to choose according to the priority, and when it is your turn, whoever is at the top and has not been drafted will be the one, and then Big favorites don't need to study them at all, because they won't fall into this position.

For example, Ricky Rubio, whom Presti prefers, is it possible to fall to this position? It is impossible, and even if he does fall to this position, whether Presti will choose him is also a question , because it is impossible for such a player who is favored by many teams to fall to this position, and falling to this position shows that there is a reason.

Moreover, the Supersonics are really overcrowded at the point guard position, but that position is not overcrowded, basically every position is, so the Supersonics do not have an urgent requirement to pass the draft to reinforce, so naturally they don't spend too much on it Thoughts.

Presti's main focus is on the contract renewal of several major players. There is a problem with the contract renewal of the head coach Carlesimo. There should be no problems with the contract renewal of these players. Coupard It is the most important thing, and there must be no problems. However, with Stephen here, Presti is not too worried. The two sides have basically negotiated the terms. Basically, as soon as the z you player market opens, the two sides will renew the contract. Sign on.

As for Earl Watson and Jarrett Jack, Presti wants to keep one of them, and then choose a rookie as the third point guard, but who is better to keep, this is very difficult to do It was decided that Earl Watson would cooperate better with the team's main lineup, but he is too old and his annual salary is too high, even if the possibility of a salary cut is not high, even if he is given a long-term contract, it is impossible drop too much.

Relatively speaking, Jaliente Jack is younger and more talented, but he is a bit similar to Russell Westbrook in his style of play and cannot complement each other, so Presti is very embarrassed, or wait for the draft. Let's talk.

Approaching June 00, [-], the theater at Madison Square Garden was full of people, and David Stern repeated the same old tune year after year, and finally finished Afterwards, it was finally announced that this year's NBA draft had started. At this time, the staff handed over the envelope with the names of the players selected by the Houston Rockets. David Stern opened it, looked at it, laughed, and called out the name into the microphone.
