Chapter 968: The Moral Bottom Line of the NBA Is Lowered Once Again!
Trade Garnett and Pierce for Rondo, Durant and Gasol.
Let's not talk about whether this golden apple that tempted the brave man into becoming a dragon is enough temptation.
The trade application submitted by Danny Ainge and the Celtics really shocked Yes.
After all, some time ago, the Celtics and Pierce both completed the contract renewal with the Celtics. The two of them reduced their salaries and exchanged the high-paying big contract for a low-paying long contract.
Although there is no change in the total amount of money, these two people can be regarded as reducing the salary for the Celtics.
More importantly, the whole world knows Garnett and Pierce's desire for the championship. These two people are willing to stay in the Celtics when they know that the Celtics may have no hope of winning the championship. They really regard the Celtics as their home.
In this case, the Celtics and Danny Ainge can really do it.
Yes's ears seemed to ring Danny Ainge's calm and dark voice.
"Take the Celtics as your home? Are you qualified to take the Celtics as your home?"
When Garnett and Pierce exchanged their big contracts for long-term contracts, the whole world really thought that these two would spend the rest of their lives with the Celtics.
After all, their long-term contracts were until 2014, so many Celtics fans were romantically thinking whether these two would retire with the Celtics together.
Now it seems that old Danny Ainge has really fooled all the romanticists in the world.
Exchange the big contract for a long-term contract is not to keep the two in the Celtics for the rest of their lives, it is obviously to increase the trading value of Garnett and Pierce.
This guy had planned it long ago!
Thinking of this, Yes took a deep breath.
There really are such sinister NBA management in this world...
The bright moon of Garnett and Pierce is shining on the stinky ditch of Danny Ainge...
Although the Big Three of Garnett and Pierce failed, the Celtics have been successful in the East in recent years, and the results of the two finals are not bad.
In addition, Pierce was trained by the Celtics.
It can be said that if Danny Ainge has a conscience, he will not do such a deceptive thing. Even if he wants to trade, he should respect their opinions instead of deceiving them to change contracts and then trade secretly.
Garnett and Pierce did not win the championship with the Celtics, nor did they break their legs or suffer serious injuries for the Celtics. Maybe they won the championship for the Celtics, or suffered serious injuries, and the situation would be very different, right?
But even so, they are definitely now even if they have not made such great contributions, they have also worked hard.
How can this person do such a thing?
Seeing Yes was silent, the general manager of the Supersonics, Presti, was a little worried.
Yes would not be really interested in this transaction, right?
If the team did not have to ask Yes for every move about important players, he really wanted to refuse directly.
Garnett Pierce for Durant, Rondo, and Gasol?
Danny Ainge would not think that everyone is a fool who is superstitious about mature superstars, right?
Presti understood that people like Danny Ainge are suitable for trading with fools.
Normal people can't stand his dark sense of superiority.
Maybe there are really fools in this world who accept such a deal, but he certainly can't accept it.
But...
In Danny Ainge's mind, I won't always be a fool and an idiot, right?
Recalling Danny Ainge's harassment of Rondo and Durant over the years, and the contracts sent to these two people.
Presti's face is very ugly.
"Reject it, whether it's KD, Rajon or Mark, they are all non-saleable to the team."
What Presti worried about did not happen. After a moment of silence, Yes gave an answer that made Presti feel relieved.
It's easy to reject Danny Ainge's decision to treat people as idiots.
Garnett and Pierce are in good shape and ability now. Garnett can still average 18+10 this season, and Pierce can still average 22 points +5+5 this season.
But the two are now 32 and 33 respectively, plus the long contracts of the two. The rebuilding team is not interested. The strong team is interested, but it may not have enough chips and dare not bet on the future of these two aging superstars.
NBA players who are over 32 or 33 years old may drop off a cliff at any time.
The real strength of Garnett and Pierce is completely disproportionate to their trading value. They are very strong, and their trading value may not even be able to exchange for Durant.
Of course, according to Danny Ainge's psychology, he just wants to trade for Durant. Rondo is a negative trading value. In his mind, the management of the Supersonics must want to get rid of this coquettish bitch who tempted Yes, and Gasol is the gift that the Celtics are willing to accept Rondo. Look, am I Danny Ainge very honest in doing business?
Yes has always been very good at managing his emotions, but when he thinks of Danny Ainge's operation, he still feels sick.
Danny Ainge's operation is disgusting, but since he has already pushed Pierce and Garnett to the shelf, with the pride of Garnett and Pierce, this is already a bow that cannot be turned back. There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world.
That is to say, when Pierce and Garnett enter the market, and can only enter strong teams, the NBA may have a super team born in addition to the Lakers, Grizzlies and Heat.
So who will be the next super team?
Although there are true heroes like Arenas in this world.
But most of them are ordinary people, and many people are actually preparing to become dragons.
These two golden apples that tempt heroes to become dragons are indeed not attractive to Yes, but for other people in the league and other strong teams, the attraction is completely different.
"The world has become lively again."
Yes murmured and walked into the post-match press conference.
It was the same as Yes expected.
When Danny Ainge sent Garnett and Pierce to the Supersonics to make fools, Danny Ainge was also making other fools.
Danny Ainge's move was so big, how could there be any room for confidentiality.
Originally, the current public opinion in the NBA was all about the three-team winning streak competition between the Seattle Supersonics, the Heat and the Grizzlies.
On the second day after the game between the Seattle Supersonics and the Rockets, the news and public opinion in the league became overwhelmingly about the news that the Supersonics were preparing to trade Garnett and Pierce.
At the same time, on the afternoon of the day after the news spread, there was news online that Celtics head coach Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge had a big fight. Soon after, the rumor was confirmed. Celtics head coach Doc Rivers, the former NBA Coach of the Year winner who led the Celtics to the finals twice, announced that he would terminate his contract with the Celtics.
The Celtics, the once glorious Big Three team, is now completely broken apart.
"Four years ago, when Yes's deal was completed, we all said that the Seattle Supersonics were the biggest losers, and the Celtics and Raptors were the biggest winners. Four years have passed, and the evaluation of this incredible deal has completely reversed. The Raptors have already declared the deal a big failure, and now the Celtics have also admitted defeat and left. Only the Seattle Supersonics are now gloriously representing the whole world, acting as a brave man to challenge the evil dragons that devour everything in the league!"
The sudden big melon of the Celtics has made many people's waists flicker.
Like Yes, the whole world had never thought that the Celtics would trade Pierce and Garnett. Previously, Garnett and Pierce represented the Celtics in the media and accused Ray Allen, who returned to Boston, as the masters of the Celtics.
It has only been a few days, and the masters have become tools?
As for Danny Ainge's tricking Pierce and Garnett to cut their salaries and send them away, they are not tools, they are simply leeks!
Originally, the whole world said that you are the master of this team, and you think so too.
In the end, you suddenly found that you are actually a leek, a leek that can be slaughtered at will.
Who can stand this!
"Doug has left Boston."
"Damn it!"
In Garnett's home in Boston, Garnett and Pierce now look angry, unwilling, and desperate. In addition to despair, they are even panicked.
After Doug failed to force the palace, they also went to negotiate with Danny Ainge.
They also failed.
After their strong questioning of Danny Ainge at the beginning, their final request was actually very humble.
They just hope that Danny Ainge will not send them to weak teams, such as the Lakers and the Heat, which they don't want to go to.
Although they didn't bring the championship to the Celtics, their hearts are indeed all given to the Celtics, and as a superstar, they also have the right to negotiate with Danny Ainge.
But!
"This shady thing!"
They really don't have a breakthrough bargaining chip now. Their biggest bargaining chip is to go to a team they don't like without guaranteeing a contract renewal, just like James.
But because of Danny Ainge's sweet talk, both of them signed a long-term contract with the Celtics, which expires in 2014. Damn, there is no next contract!
In other words, they don't have any guarantees now, they are completely goods.
As long as which team offers a high price, they will go to that team.
Whether it's the garbage New York Knicks or the New Jersey Nets or the Heat and Lakers with a lot of enemies, they have to go even if they don't want to go!
What kind of situation are they in now?
The worst situation!
Originally, they always looked down on Ray Allen.
Now they suddenly feel that Ray Allen's decision not to accept the Celtics' contract this summer and to leave the Celtics in advance is a correct thing.
No matter what, at least Ray Allen can control his own destiny.
As a passer-by of the Celtics, Ray Allen can control his own destiny.
And these players who claim to be the masters of the Celtics have finally become leeks that are at the mercy of others and drifting in the wind.
"FVCK!"
"FVCK!"
"FVCK!"
In the end, Pierce and Garnett, who were depressed, frustrated, flustered, angry, and hateful, were immersed in the constant flower Q hell.
If Danny Ainge was in this space now, maybe he would really be beeped by Garnett and Pierce now.
Danny Ainge's magical operation on Garnett and Pierce really refreshed the moral bottom line of NBA management.
Just like James and Pat Riley created that super giant team in the Heat, which was considered to refresh the bottom line of players' competitive consciousness.
When you refresh the bottom line, don't blame others for spraying you.
Garnett and Pierce are actually not that popular in the league.
But at this time, almost all the players in the NBA are speaking for these two miserable people.
There is no way. James started the conversation by saying that he would not renew his contract unless he was sent to the Heat, which made all the management of the NBA feel insecure.
Danny Ainge's actions have made almost all the players in the league feel insecure.
According to the current media, James and Danny Ainge are really the mudslide of the entire NBA, making the labor and management parties, who were originally in a tense relationship, regard each other as enemies who can stab each other in the back at any time.
How can the management and players of the NBA trust each other in the future?
Of course, this is the case for most teams.
ESPN, which likes to take advantage of the popularity, quickly launched a vote to investigate the players of the entire NBA. Which team do you trust the most and which team you are most willing to play for? In addition to the Sonics still firmly in the first place, followed by the Mavericks and Spurs, the biggest change is that small cities like Goose City and the Cavaliers, which have a human touch, have also followed.
James' departure from the Cavaliers kicked off the trust crisis between the players and the management, and Danny Ainge's operation directly brought the trust crisis between the management and the players to its limit.
In the eyes of many people, Danny Ainge's operation has reached the limit of the moral bottom line of the management.
There should be no one worse than Garnett and Pierce.
"So, as long as you don't go to the Supersonics, you can't completely sell yourself to any team in the NBA, otherwise you will still be counting money for the team after being sold by the team."
Danny Ainge's mudslide-like operation has a great impact not only in the NBA, but also in the NCAA.
At the training ground of the University of Washington, as the new leader of the University of Washington, Avery Bradley is organizing his teammates to study.
And the little Isaiah Thomas and Leonard and others below are nodding constantly.
Although the little Isaiah Thomas is nodding, it can be seen from his eyes that he really doesn't take it seriously.
After all, there is only one Danny Ainge in the world. How can such a coincidence happen? And the team really needs you to sacrifice at that time. How can you not sacrifice?
Anyway, he didn't believe that the team would abandon him even if he broke his leg or got an injury that would damage his entire career. Even a black-hearted person like Danny Ainge wouldn't be so black-hearted, right?
After all, many Cleveland people have always believed that James would not leave again after he came back next time.
Unlike Isaiah Thomas, Leonard's nod was really a serious nod.
He is a person who lacks a sense of security. Danny Ainge's action made him feel extremely insecure!
Except for his uncle, relatives, Master Yes, and friends such as Avery, there is no good person in this world who can be trusted!
