Legendary Basketball Tycoon

At Paul Allen’s villa in Seattle, Bruce and Tiana are still running wild...

Jonny Allen next to him was also joking with his brother Paul Allen about marrying Tiana to Bruce.

Although Paul Allen likes Bruce very much, he never thought of the idea of ​​pro-in-pro-introduction.

There are two reasons. The first is not to mention the NBA New York Hans. Bruce has made a lot of money in New York by himself. At this time, is it possible for you to let Bruce give up and merge into their family?

The second Bruce's picture is ambitious, and I guess it doesn't mean that to Tiana. Besides, there are too many cultural differences between the East and the West. What if Tiana doesn't adapt to the oriental wife?

Paul Allen kindly looked at the two peekaboos in the garden of the villa, and shook his head at Jonny Allen: "Let's go with the flow, no one knows what's going on in the future."

Jonny Allen nodded regretfully.

After spending the morning with Tiana "Little Kid", Bruce also felt that he should also restore the nature of a child. Although he has an adult mind, his body is still a child, and this is good occasionally.

After lunch, Bruce went to the study to find Paul Allen.

"Father, can I see the Seattle SuperSonics roster?"

Although Bruce hasn't taken care of the Sonics deal in the past few years, the draft picks each year are based on his recommendations to select rookies.

And the quality of the players is excellent, whether it is from Payton, Davis and Uncle Mu in 1991 to Gong Xiaobin and Christie in 1992, the strength of the Sonics has also risen significantly.

As far as the current Supersonic team configuration is, at least the Western Conference can withstand the Suns and Rockets a little bit. Other teams are not eligible to block.

Paul Allen took out the list of Sonics players and their data from the drawer and handed it to Bruce.

He still trusts Bruce, and he believes in Bruce's vision.

Bruce took a closer look when he got it, and fell into deep thought...

Attached to the list of the 92 Seattle SuperSonics:

C: Dikembe Mutombo, Antonio Davis

PF: Sean Camp, Gong Xiaobin, Michael Cage

SF: Derek McGee, Ricky Pierce, Eddie Johnson, Gerald Patio

SG: Vincent Eschu, Doug Christie

PG: Gary Payton, Nate McMillan, Dana Ballos

Looking at this configuration, Bruce feels that he can break his hand with Jordan's Bulls.

Paul Allen saw Bruce tilting his head and wondering what he was thinking about. The Sonics are very good at the moment and don't need to change at all.

"Bruce, what's the matter?"

Bruce came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, this year the SuperSonics are very strong and should be able to hit the championship!"

Paul Allen laughed and said: "Thanks to you, you have done a lot in the draft in the past few years, otherwise I don't know how long it will be until the Sonics win the championship."

Bruce is not happy, just a little worried. With this configuration, he will definitely win the championship before 2000.

To hit the championship every year means that the ranking will be lowered every year, and the team's All-Star players will be lost in the past few years.

Although these players can be obtained through trade at that time, the price will be a lot and it is not worthwhile at all.

But what about later?

In Bruce's view, the current SuperSonics team does not have its own style of play, that is, there are no core players and no team members built on a certain player as the cornerstone.

It's like the New York Hans of Bruce, who has been eyeing Tim Duncan for a long time. In the past few years, he has changed his blood and made up for Tim Duncan as the core team member.

In fact, in recent years, there are really a few candidates for the foundation stone of the team:

The first is Garnett in 1995 (the Celtics’ best central axis is not vegetarian)

Iverson and Kobe in 1996 (bring your own system)

Nowitzki in 1998 (the same cornerstone candidate as Duncan)

Therefore, the core and team members must be built well early, which requires a high ranking. How to get a high ranking is of course a bad one!

For a person like Bruce who is obsessed with cleanliness, he would definitely choose his own direct line.

But now he is thinking about how to convince this "godfather" who has always been good to him.

He was also thinking about the route taken by the Sonics in the future. After deleting the selection through the brain, there are only two paths in his eyes.

One is the Celtics model of the "Big Three" era, and the other is the Mavericks model that relies on the team to win the championship.

When Paul Allen saw Bruce hesitated to speak, he knew he had something to say, and motioned Bruce to finish speaking.

Bruce thought about it for a long time, and based on the knowledge he knew in his previous life, he finally decided that the Sonics would go to the Mavericks apocalypse in the future. The main reason was that Bruce didn’t like the Celtics. The Mavericks model could at least ensure that the Sonics could run sideways in the West. go.

Even the Lakers who formed the invincible "OK" combination and the Spurs without Duncan and Popovich could not beat the mighty Sonics.

"Father, do you trust me? Trust my vision?"

"Of course I trust you, and I believe your eyes!"

Just kidding, the Sonics were bought by Bruce as a gift to Paul Allen. He didn't trust who else Bruce could trust.

"Well, this year or next year, the Sonics will try their best to hit the championship."

"In the past two years, regardless of whether the Sonics can win the championship, in the 1994 draft, I hope to trade half of the team, including Payton and Camp."

"What? You want to trade Payton and Camp, why?"

Paul Allen stood up in shock and asked eagerly to Bruce.

You know that these two players are currently the most valuable players in the Sonics!

Could it be that the rookies of 1994 are better than them?

Of course, point guard Jason Kidd and small forward Grant Hill are one of the team members that Bruce prepared for the Sonics.

In the previous life, the two people shared the best rookie of the new season, which shows the strength of the two.

Of course, the current SuperSonics, not to mention the addict Camp, as for the master-level point guard Payton, if it were not for Kidd, Bruce would never let him go.

If you get Kidd, you can't let Peyton go to substitute for your own little brother, then how will you let Peyton mix?

Wouldn’t it be a waste of Kidd’s organizational skills if Kidd were to substitute Payton?

Don't forget, the team also has McMillan as a substitute point guard candidate.

With three all-star point guards, the picture is too beautiful and unimaginable. The key is too waste of talents, so one must be sacrificed. Payton, who is young and rich, must be the first to bear the brunt!

If possible, Bruce really doesn't want to give up Payton, mainly because Payton is a defensive point guard who can prevent other team stars from crying alone.

In the 1990s, this type of point guard was quite popular, and the league also had Payton, a point guard who relied on a master defense, and would never be able to find it again.

But after 2000, the world of point guards gradually became the world.

It's not that Payton's organization is not good, but it depends on who is compared. Kidd in 1994 is the best point guard. It is a pity to miss him.

Imagine Kidd looks good with Nowitzki or Peyton looks good with Nowitzki?

Anyone with a discerning eye will choose Kidd, Nowitzki needs more shots. If you don't attack, you can match Nowitzki.

But it is a bit troublesome that Payton and Kidd are the best Mochi. If this one is not good, it will shake the team's morale.

So Bruce is not going to say hello to each other in advance, he has to wait until 1994.

In case I said in advance, Ippyton’s temper is not good enough to talk to Kidd, Kidd, who is traded at that time, will definitely come to the team with emotions, do you want it or not?

So the most important thing is to do Payton's job well and let him persuade his little brother to play for the team with peace of mind.

"Yes, my analysis team has long reported that I will have a few strong players in 1994, and my future achievements will not be lower than those of Payton."

"It's just their pick. The Sonics must bleed to get a deal."

Paul Allen also sat down in thought.

"Why don't you?"

Paul Allen asked nonchalantly, people with high IQs are not easy to be fooled.

No way, Bruce can only tell Paul Allen about his team building model and how to group and group players based on Tim Duncan.

After getting the answer, Paul Allen thought for a while and said to Bruce: "Okay, just follow your team building idea in 1994."

Seeing that Paul Allen had compromised, Bruce was relieved. After all, he is not the owner of the Sonics, and he is not qualified to dictate how to manage the Sonics. That is, Paul Allen, if anyone else, call him early. Get out.
