Chapter 366: Transforming the Supersonic Team One
"Isn't this one time and another? We have to keep up with the pace of the times!" Bruce said with a thick neck blushing.
Anyway, it is impossible to make Bruce admit that he went back on his word. How could he be the ancient "God of Han"? It must be that's not the case. Bruce thought with self-regulation.
"Haha..." Paul Allen no longer mentioned this embarrassing incident about Bruce.
"By the way, why don't you provide information for my supersonic team now?!"
It's really weird that the SuperSonics have not yet traded. The reason why the SuperSonics still remained unmoved is undoubtedly Paul Allen is quite confident about Bruce. Although Bruce is indeed a bit inferior in introducing the head coach, Bruce's talent in player draft and trading goals is something that no scout or general manager can compare to.
Nonsense Bruce is back from rebirth, and of course he knows that those players are suitable and those players are not suitable. If he doesn’t have memories of his previous life, try it, so he will definitely cheat you.
"This, this..."
How dare Bruce say that he is not ashamed to provide advice to the Supersonics because he introduced Gentry as the Supersonics head coach!
"Okay, you boy, I know that I won't deny your contribution because of your small mistake. You still have to think more about the supersonics!"
In fact, Paul Allen knew Bruce’s current thoughts, but it was not a big deal in his opinion. If Bruce had not been making suggestions for Supersonics every year, then Supersonics could win three championships to establish a dynasty, which would undoubtedly be a dream.
Now Paul Allen is going to continue to force Bruce to see people. Bob Whitcht, the general manager of the Supersonics team, nicknamed "Trader", only has outstanding abilities in trading with general managers of other teams. It is far from watching people or drafts, so Bruce can only continue to help the Supersonics draft and provide trading candidates.
"Okay, give me the current roster of the Supersonics, and send me a list of other teams in the league, so I'll analyze it." Seeing that Bruce couldn't hide, he could only bite the bullet and scatter.
"Okay, no problem. I'll wait for your phone call. It's better to hurry up. You know that the trade will be more frequent after the All-Star Game. I hope the team will still be competitive."
The Supersonics are now ranked sixth in the West, and this position is not up or down. The Mavericks or the Kings Warriors are biting very tightly. If the Supersonics fail to make the playoffs this year, it would be a bit embarrassing. I don’t know how many people in the league want to see his jokes. This is obviously a scene that Paul Allen doesn’t want to see. No matter what, the team must enter the playoffs, otherwise he will be sorry to the people of Seattle.
Compared to this, it is much easier on the Bruce. In Bruce's opinion, if the SuperSonics choose to trade, there is still room for trading. With his impression of the SuperSonics' player list last year, that lineup is certain to enter the playoffs. As for how far it has gone, I dare not say it. Of course, if you really can't enter, it is undoubtedly Gentry's incompetence. Even if you can't make it to the playoffs, it's not that incompetence, it's not that incompetence, it's not that. You have to know that Iverson is in charge in the team.
"Okay, I'll fax you after I've analyzed it."
If you really want to pronounce the names of players one by one, it would be strange if Bruce doesn't sound crazy.
How inconvenient this is, but fortunately there is still a fax machine at home.
Not to mention that being rich is convenient, there is one in Bruce's mountain villa. Because he has many industries in the United States, Bruce needs to let the other party fax over from time to time to see if there is anything wrong. So at this point in time, there is a fax machine at home that is definitely at the level of a wealthy person, and only the other companies have this equipment.
Bruce and Paul Allen chatted for a few words and hung up the phone and waited for the fax to arrive.
...
Squeak...
Sure enough, just listening to the sound, Bruce knew that the fax was arrived.
After getting the content posted on the fax, Bruce also started to read it carefully.
The first thing he looked at was the current list of players of the Seattle Supersonics.
Note:
Center C: Avidas Sabonis, Ben Wallace, P.J. Brown
Power forward PF: Clifford Robinson, Cote Thomas
Small forward SF: Detrev Schramf, Dale Ellis, Kevin Gambol
Scoreback SG: Allen Iverson, Michael Finley, Doug Christie, Clegg Ellu
Point guard PG: Terry Porter, Nate McMillan, Chucky Atkins
This is the current situation of the Supersonics players, but after reading this list, Bruce frowned.
I'll go!
There are a lot of veterans in the Supersonics now!
It won't work if this continues. Although most veterans have an experience in the playoffs, a team is so ageing, so it will definitely take a long time to recover. Please refer to the Bulls since Jordan and the others left and you will know how difficult it is to change blood.
It can be said that the Bulls were at the bottom of the league before they got Ross. They didn't get normal until they got the No. 1 pick in 2008.
From 1999 to 2008, it took a full ten years. When Bruce thought of this, he felt that the Bulls were too pitiful. In the past ten years, the Bulls' annual rankings were either the top three or the lottery zone, so why couldn't they rise?
Alas... I hope the Supersonics don't follow the Bulls' old path.
Let’s take a look and see if those players can trade.
Bruce compared the player's contract period while comparing the player's roster.
First of all, the center position, Sabonis, Da Ben, and P.J. Brown, basically Bruce will not choose to move. Although Sabonis has been replaced by Da Ben, this European pass is still a bit good to use. Besides, Sabonis has only stayed in one NBA team in his previous life. He has never been traded even when he is old, so Bruce will not trade him this time.
As for Big Ben and P.J. Brown, there is no need to say much about the former Big Ben. Only a fool would trade the All-Star Big Ben. What's more, the current Big Ben is more than a little better than his previous life, and Big Ben will not leave. Although the latter P.J. Brown cannot threaten the positions of Big Ben and Sabonis, it is okay to keep it. After all, Sabonis can't play for a long time. After he retreated, P.J. Brown just happened to be able to take over, but there is one premise that P.J. Brown endured loneliness and waited for so long.
Of course, if P.J. Brown is unwilling to wait like this, Bruce can also pull him out and trade, but it is just a substitute center. In fact, someone has chosen Bruce.
In the next few years, we will have a lot of center positions in the draft. Although we can't produce many high-quality centers, it's still not a lot of problems to find a substitute. If it really doesn't work, it's the same for recommending Brad Miller to the Supersonics. After all, Brad Miller is also a player with his own system!
That’s right, Brad Miller, the most determined executor of Adelman’s “Princeton Tactics”!
