Chapter 489 Paul Allen admires Ray Allen
Paul Allen also believes that if the boss of the team is unwilling to be in the same team as the players who want to trade back, then the management should still choose to accept support for the boss of the team. After all, the boss of every team in the league is very prestigious and even very strong. There is no need to make the boss of the team unhappy for trading some people, because if they are unhappy, it means that the team will lose them, which is obviously not cost-effective.
Paul Allen was indeed a little hesitant at this point, but in the end he agreed to Bruce's plan because he knew that Bruce would definitely consider the chain reaction that Rashid Wallace would cause when he came to Seattle.
Of course, this is nothing. As long as this player does not anger Seattle fans, he can still join the Supersonics. If it is anger or has a negative impact on the Seattle city, even if he is the super giant Paul Allen will not trade back. Therefore, Rashid Wallace and Big Ben are personal grudges. As long as they reconcile, Paul Allen will still be happy to see it.
"Is there any other candidate in Bruce?!"
Should we talk about Ray Allen next?!
Unfortunately, Paul Allen guessed wrongly that Bruce did take Ray Allen, because if Iverson was mentioned as the shooting guard, what would Ray Allen do? Is it necessary to be a substitute for Iverson? This is completely unnecessary and it is too extravagant. Besides, in a few years, there are several good local Seattle-born players who are also shooting guards, and they can perfectly be Iverson's substitute.
Local origin in Seattle?!
Who is it?!
Bruce refers to Jason Terry, nicknamed "Jets", who plays as a shooting guard/point guard, is a double-season guard who is good at jump shots, can shoot with the ball; he is a very good bench killer.
Another one is Jamal Crawford: he plays as a shooting guard/point guard, a nerve-knife guard, and is weak in body and can run and jump. When shooting from outside, he has his expertise, skilled singles skills, and his defensive end is not stable enough.
They are all Seattle locals and will definitely be more popular with Seattle local fans, so there is actually no need to trade Ray Allen. The above two are used as substitutes for Iverson, which is still very good in general.
"Yes, Eric Snow, is also in the Bucks. If you trade him, it will cost a little less. Just give him a second round pick. Currently, he is still a substitute in the Bucks, and he averages only 4.7 points per game. It can be said that he is also optional in the Bucks. But what I value is not his offense, but defense. Eric Snow's defense level is quite good, but this is not what I value most." Bruce said to Paul Allen the image of Eric Snow in his memory.
Eric Snow, to be honest, Bruce has never watched his game, mainly because he still remembers Bruce or assists Iverson and James, and there is nothing else.
"Oh, what is Eric Snow that you value?!" Paul Allen asked curiously.
This is the first time Bruce told him that players have something he values, and he is also curious about what Eric Snow has to offer.
"Eric Snow has the ability to assist that ordinary people do not have. Yes, he can assist Iverson to the greatest extent!" Bruce revealed the answer.
That's right, if they are other players, they want to leave these super giants after making their value. The reason is very simple because they also need to make money and status. But Eric Snow is different. He has completely helped Iverson and James behind after making their value. It can be said that there are too few players who are not worthy of money or reputation. In the future, I don't know how many people have won the lead in the team's position. It is not easy for Eric Snow to keep his original intention? In addition, his defensive ability and passing organization are not bad? So it is naturally reflected in Bruce's eyes!
Paul Allen nodded when he heard this? There are too few players like this who specialize in assisting the boss. It can be said that there are not many Supersonics. If you really want to say that the players who serve Iverson wholeheartedly, then the Supersonics are only Da Ben, and the others are more or less unknown.
The Eric Snow introduced to him by Bruce can help Iverson. This is a good opportunity to give Iverson the opportunity to build his own small group.
Of course, what Paul Allen thinks most is that the price of trading Eric Snow is relatively small, just one second round pick. As long as the substitute is not a regular rotation role, you can still get a second round pick.
This is also the case where Bruce considers that Eric Snow can still be filled in the position of point guard if Payton does not return. Double insurance, and next season will be Nate McMillan's last season at the Supersonics? How can he not have a substitute on the point guard?!
Terry Porter was embarrassed by his great responsibility. His health declined in the next few years and had injuries, so Bruce was about to add him to exchange Payton for him from Philadelphia. No matter what, Bruce would definitely not keep Terry Porter.
"Sir Father? Is this my overall plan? It can be said that the most important thing is Gary, and the remaining two are not very important." Bruce finished playing all the cards? It depends on how Paul Allen made a decision.
"Where is Bruce, Ray Allen, will the team no longer trade Ray Allen, or can it be the same if Ray Allen and Eric Snow trade together?!"
That's all, no, why didn't Ray Allen mention Bruce?!
Paul Allen was a little puzzled. After Bruce last proposed the trading players, he specially went to the video to watch the game situation of the players introduced by Bruce. It can be said that the one who is most satisfied with him is Ray Allen mentioned by Bruce. How to say it, the first impression he gave himself is that Ray Allen is a killer and a player who determines the direction of the game. Players like this are rare, which also made him appreciate Ray Allen more during that period. Just imagine that the defender has a combination of Iverson + Ray Allen, which is also quite powerful!
But now Bruce has given up Ray Allen, which makes Paul Allen a little confused. Such a good player, coupled with great youth potential, is not a big price when trading now, but if you wait a few more years, it will be difficult to say.
"Ray Allen?! Oh, he, I gave up. The Bucks and the Lions spoke loudly. How could this be possible if they wanted to exchange Ray Allen for All-Star players? I'm not so stupid yet!" Bruce said deliberately.
In fact, the real reason has been mentioned above. Bruce will not pay an All-Star player to trade a substitute. Ray Allen is good, but with Iverson, one of the "four major points guards", he seems less important.
