He just played basketball and became the chosen one. - Chapter 206

c206 :What! Bring these crooked melons and crack dates back to the championship game

Jerry West, a man whose strength was sealed by Lord Baylor.

Following Baylor in the north and south for twelve years, he won the runner-up spot and never won a single finals.

As a result, as soon as Baylor retired, West immediately received a ring.

It’s hard to imagine how brilliant Jerry West’s playing career would have been without Elgin Baylor’s strength to suppress him.

That was the only man that West had to obey.

However, people can refer to the days when West was the general manager, and they can probably see how brave he was without Baylor’s suppression.

From Showtime to OK, West is simply the godfather of the Lakers in the modern basketball era.

On the other hand, old teammate Baylor’s various operations in the management team are simply infamy.

If the two were still working together in management at that time, it is estimated that the Logo Man still would not have won the championship.

In addition to the Lakers dynasty, West in the original history also brought the Warriors and Clippers to their peak periods in team history.

If it weren’t for Jerry West, the Splash Brothers might no longer exist.

After all, when the Warriors wanted to trade Klay for Love, West personally vetoed it.

If it weren’t for the logo, the card-and-pepper combination wouldn’t have taken shape.

Although the Clippers have never won a championship, that’s mainly because the Clippers’ best players rarely play much.

The operation of the logo on the Clippers is very commendable.

Therefore, it can be said that the logo man is almost a GOAT-level existence in the position of general manager.

At this point in time, Jerry West has temporarily retired due to physical reasons, which gives Kroenke an opportunity to recruit.

While teams across the league are willing to pay top dollar for West, that doesn’t seem to sway Logo.

Many teams have contacted West before, hoping that he can come out.

But without exception, West refused.

He even directly rejected the invitations of those teams on the phone, not even bothering to meet.

From this aspect, the logo is actually quite good.

At least he didn’t hang on to you for a long time and asked you to come on a blind date and treat him to dinner, only to say “We are not suitable, we can only be friends” when he finally came home.

You can’t eat this mouthful of abalone. He really didn’t waste his time.

In short, Kroenke came to ask West to come out and was mentally prepared to be rejected.

However, you have to give it a try.

At this moment, Kroenke had no better idea.

Without a good general manager and head coach, there would be no Ryan, and that’s the situation Kroenke is facing now.

It’s just that the Logo Man is in a rage right now, and Kroenke really feels that he came at the wrong time.

What a bad start.

Just when Kroenke didn’t know how to cut into the topic, Logo took the initiative to speak:

“Ryan is really popular this summer. I bet that if the NBA now has no maximum salary cap like it did in the 1990s, the Knicks would definitely be willing to give Ryan 50 million a year and directly sign him for ten years.”

Kroenke nodded: “You and I both know that the current maximum salary is not a true reflection of Ryan’s strength at all. Let alone 50 million, if there is no maximum salary limit, I would be willing to give him 80 million a year!”

Hearing this, Logo cast a suspicious look.

Kroenke also smiled and scratched his head: “Well, of course, I have to go home and discuss it with my wife before I give it.”

West, who had always kept a straight face, finally laughed. The king of hard-to-eat meals was indeed well-deserved.

Next, Logo said something that surprised Kroenke:

“I really don’t know what kind of team we can run with a player as good as Ryan.”

When Logo said this, his eyes were full of expectation.

It’s like the anticipation you feel when you play a football manager game and finally get a top player after all the hard work.

Then, Logo raised his eyebrows:

“Can you keep Ryan?”

At this moment, Kroenke felt as if he was a young man entering KTV for the first time – so it turns out that girls can be so proactive?

It turns out that a cold logo can be so proactive?

That’s normal. Rich men are often more likely to let girls take the initiative.

In the basketball world, Ryan is the most valuable gold coin!

Whoever owns him can let others take the initiative!

Even if this person is the aloof Jerry West!

Kroenke immediately signaled: “I will do my best to keep Ryan! But if you take action, the chance of keeping Ryan will be greater!”

“Well you can arrange for the two of us to talk.”

Kroenke swallowed, Logo’s initiative was far beyond his expectation!

Originally, I just wanted to wipe the princess’s oil, but in the end, the princess directly touched your crotch.

What kind of magical experience is this?

Tyrion’s name is a blessing!

The meaning of the logo is already very obvious. If Ryan stays, he will be interested in working for the Nuggets!

Jerry West is certainly not stupid. West has already experienced this in Memphis by going to a bad team to help the poor.

To be honest, it was very tiring and the experience was very bad.

The Logo Man worked hard for the Grizzlies and was heartbroken because he really wanted to do something great.

As a result, Logo worked so hard, but found that the boss was suddenly selling the team everywhere.

It’s like you are fighting desperately for the championship, but your originally strong teammates suddenly score 8 points in a single game. Can you bear this?

Attacks from teammates are often more deadly than opponents.

This feeling that the team will be sold even if it works hard makes Logo very embarrassed.

Therefore, Logo really doesn’t want to go to small teams to help the poor anymore.

He could accept going to a weak team, but he really didn’t want to go to a team where he took his sister-in-law and ran away with them just to make money for the boss.

The Nuggets, at least economically, are stable.

No matter what he says, Kroenke will never sell the team.

Plus Ryan. Who wouldn’t want to build a lineup around a player like Ryan?

As a qualified “dynasty designer”, Logo will definitely not let go of this opportunity to build a dynasty easily.

Ordinary honors are no longer popular with Logo Man, so he rejected invitations from many teams.

But another chance to build a dynasty

I’ve had enough playing with this civilian account, and occasionally I want to play with a max-level account for fun!

Therefore, Logo is indeed interested in joining the Nuggets.

Otherwise, he would not have agreed to meet with Kroenke and wasted everyone’s time.

Kroenke didn’t expect things to go so smoothly, so he was a little stunned.

Seeing Kroenke’s hesitation, Logo also joked: “What? You don’t have to go home and ask your wife first about this kind of thing, do you?”

Kroenke quickly shook his head: “You don’t need this kind of thing! If you want to meet with Ryan, I can arrange it at any time!”

While Kroenke has found an opportunity to save the team, the outside world is still speculating on Ryan’s ownership.

As a top superstar, Ryan’s transfer will undoubtedly directly determine the direction of the entire league.

As a member of this year’s free agent market, James was also asked when participating in a business event:

“LeBron, what do you think about this year’s transfer market? Everyone is waiting for Ryan to make a decision.”

James smiled disdainfully:

“I don’t know what other stars think. Do they really want to rely on Ryan to win the championship? What’s the difference between that and taking shortcuts?”

Hearing this, countless Cleveland fans cheered.

did you see it? He was always a kid growing up in Akron!

Ajan has the backbone!

Look at those of you who kneel down and lick Ryan. Compared with Ajan, they are simply insulting Ajan!

But soon, James changed the topic:

“But I’m different, I have no interest in taking shortcuts, I just want to fight side by side with my brothers!

You know, Ryan has always been my brother, he and I have known each other for a long time, and that guy is incredible.

Sometimes it’s hard to make a decision, but if it’s playing with my brothers, I’d love to!

I am eager to reach the top with my brothers. This has nothing to do with whether there is a championship or not. The main thing is to enjoy the process of brother basketball! ”

Good guy, the media at the scene called him good guy.

Before, I was talking about taking shortcuts with great righteousness, but now you want to take it too!

It’s just that you are better at making excuses for yourself than others!

Ajan really wants to form a team with Ryan. The best way to kill a strong enemy is to join him!

Once you join, your strongest enemy will naturally disappear.

Just ask whether Ryan can beat James after becoming teammates.

Ajan’s speech made Ryan hotly discussed again.

The general managers and fans of each team are also waiting anxiously.

However, Pat Riley, the magic calculator, suddenly came to preemptively strike!

Before Ryan made a decision, Riley took the lead in renewing Wade’s contract and taking away Bosh to form a very strong dual-core lineup!

However, people were surprised to find that both Wade and Bosh signed with the Heat at prices below the maximum salary.

In other words, after signing a top superstar and an All-Star, the Heat still have a lot of salary space left!

Although the remaining space is not enough to sign another maximum-salary player, if any star is willing to accept a contract for about two to three million less than the maximum salary, then the Heat will be able to form a super Big Three lineup!

The combination of Wade and Bosh is scary enough. Don’t forget that Wade was the scoring leader last season and Bosh is the star of the Clippers.

Moreover, both of them are in their prime!

The other stars in this transfer period also happen to be at their peak.

So under such circumstances, if another star joins the Heat, the Heat’s Big Three will be more terrifying than the Celtics!

When the Celtics formed a team, the Big Three were already past their prime.

The next Big Three of the Heat will be a team-up between three peak superstars.

This situation is extremely rare if you look at history!

Chamberlain was already 32 years old when he went to find West and Baylor.

Barkley was 33 when he went to Olajuwon and Pippen.

When Karl Malone and Payton went to the Lakers, they were already 40 and 35 years old respectively.

Basically no superstar takes a salary cut to form a team with other superstars when they are in their prime.

Therefore, although the Heat’s behavior caught its friends and businessmen off guard, it also caused great criticism.

At the golden age, instead of fighting hard, you cut your salary and form a team. This gives people the feeling that they can no longer afford it and start cheating.

But Riley’s intention is also very clear, that is to use Wade and Bosh to seduce Ryan!

Ryan has just signed a lifetime contract with Reebok, and his income ranks first among active players.

To put it bluntly, Ryan is not short of money at all.

What is missing is the opportunity to make a name for yourself.

Riley felt that Ryan wouldn’t care about the two to three million salary cut. And all fools know that following Wade and Bosh, you can easily win three consecutive championships and become famous easily!

Instead of waiting for Ryan, take the initiative.

When it comes to hooking up with a man, you have to take the initiative.

If you don’t take the initiative to show your boss whether you have any potential, why should the boss choose you?

Riley’s operation made every team panic, so the Knicks immediately followed suit and took the lead in signing Stoudemire.

Having cards in hand is better than having nothing at all.

As for the Bulls, Rose has also stepped up his efforts to recruit Ryan.

After all, the two are under the same brand, so they have more contact with each other.

Taking advantage of an opportunity to attend a business event with Ryan, Ross also confessed to Ryan in person:

“It would be great if we could join forces in Chicago!”

Rose’s aloof persona completely collapsed in front of Ryan.

The focus of this issue of “Sports Illustrated” is also on speculation about Ryan’s ownership.

At this point, the pros and cons of choosing different teams are quite obvious.

Going to Chicago is to inherit Jordan’s legacy and become the second Michael Jordan.

If he goes to New York, Stoudemire’s status will definitely be lower than that of Ryan. If Ryan goes there, he will definitely be the boss.

And if Ryan can succeed in the Knicks, he will create big scenes in big cities and become a true overlord.

Look at what Kobe and O’Neal did in Los Angeles. If Ryan succeeds, he will be ten times more popular than OK!

Staying in the Nuggets is the most difficult path, but if Ryan succeeds, he will undoubtedly receive the highest achievements and praise.

Loyal, fearless, and becoming a legend. All these words of praise will be used for Ryan.

The last resort, but also the easiest way, is to join the Heat, which already has Wade and Bosh.

A star who once created a three-consecutive championship dynasty, because he was afraid that the team’s lineup would weaken and not win the championship, he cut his salary and took shortcuts by teaming up with two other stars.

Although this is the safest method, it is the method most criticized by fans in the field of competitive sports.

Forming such a super triumvirate gives people the feeling that you really can’t beat others, so you can only hang out with others to keep warm, and you don’t even have the courage to stand alone.

The situation was clear, and New York fans felt like they had a winning chance.

Chicago? Ryan doesn’t want to be the second Jordan, he wants to surpass Jordan!

Nuggets? Ryan is not stupid, this road is really difficult. It’s like buying a lottery ticket. Although you can become a winner in life if you win, the problem is that you can’t win at all.

As for Miami.

Isn’t it true that some people are so embarrassed that they want to join a team at the top to win the championship? Doesn’t that mean he admits that he doesn’t have the ability to win the championship?

And what’s more, they’re taking a salary cut to form a team!

Salary is not only a benefit for a superstar, but also a status symbol.

In order to take a shortcut, he would rather lower his status and admit that he is not good. Knicks fans are very curious. Is there really someone who takes this stupidest path?

So only the Knicks are the place that is in the best interest of Ryan!

Now, each team has shown its advantages.

So, everyone was waiting for Ryan’s decision. Fans stayed up all night scrolling through the news on social media, hoping to catch some clues.

Then, on the morning of July 8, Ryan finally made a decision!

He posted a photo on social media wearing three championship rings.

All three rings showed the side with the Nuggets logo, and Ryan’s caption was: “The legend continues!”

At the same time, the Nuggets’ social media account also announced that the team used Bird Rights to extend Ryan’s maximum salary for five years, with the third year as a player option.

Ryan stayed in Denver and decided to embark on his own path of glory!

After announcing Ryan’s contract extension, the Nuggets posted a second social media update: “Mr. Logo Jerry West has officially taken over as the general manager of the Denver Nuggets!”

The dynasty combination of former legendary superstar general manager + Ryan is back on the Nuggets after two years!

This makes Denver fans full of unlimited fantasies about the future of the team!

Needless to say, everyone knows that the entire basketball world has exploded.

Denver and Miami are considered the two worst options.

One has a big harvest but the difficulty is too high, the other has a low difficulty but has lowered its value.

Many people really can’t imagine how long it will take Ryan to rebuild in Denver before he can return to the championship.

Although there is Logo Man at the helm, Logo Man is still a human being after all, not a god. He cannot conjure a bunch of helpers for Ryan out of thin air.

As for Ryan, once he starts losing again and again in the playoffs, his godhood will gradually decrease.

Think about it, if after Jordan’s three consecutive championships, he lost to the Knicks in 1996, the Jazz in 1997, and the Pacers in 1998, would Jordan still have his current status? Can he still be called the God of Basketball?

After losing to so many opponents in a full season, do you still have the nerve to say that you dominated an era?

Ryan’s decision was undoubtedly very unpopular, and the media began to complain:

“Loyalty sometimes kills Ryan!”

“I don’t know what method Kroenke used, but one day looking back, this may be the decision Ryan regrets most in his career!”

“Well, Ryan is indeed a man, and he will be a great player. But he wants to surpass McDuck and become the greatest? This is almost impossible!”

“Ryan may be able to bring a championship or two to Denver many years from now with strong new additions to the team.

But the second three consecutive championships? impossible!

Jordan was able to win his second three consecutive championships by staying with the Bulls because Jackson and Pippen were always there.

Where’s Ryan?

The comrades who fought with him on the battlefield are now completely different! ”

Overall, the world admires Ryan’s courage but is not optimistic about his prospects.

Although Reggie Miller defended Ryan on the show that night:

“Is there a problem with Ryan’s choice? He is becoming a totem of a city! Becoming a true legend!

The best feeling for me is when you’re in an airport or on the street in Indiana and you see kids who weren’t even born in your time wearing your jersey.

They have never watched your game live. Their parents watched you play when they were young, cried and laughed with you, and then passed it on to their children.

To me, that relationship is what it means to always play for the same team!

You are a true icon in this city!

Does it hurt that I didn’t win in Indiana? Of course it does!

But I will always put the love of these fans and these kids over the championship because it is as eternal as the ring that people are chasing.

Ryan, he’s going to be a totem for the city of Denver, isn’t that great? ”

As soon as Miller finished speaking, Kenny Smith made a follow-up shot: “But that’s why you can’t compare with Michael Dunk, Reggie. After all, you’re not even a top ten superstar.”

This wave is really heartbreaking. Reggie Miller now knows why Barkley always doesn’t deal with Kenny.

This guy’s mouth is really poisonous!

In fact, Kenny Smith’s attitude is also the attitude of most fans.

Ryan has won some praise, but he is destined to miss out on being the greatest in history!

Logo looked at the media’s reaction and smashed the newspaper on his desk:

“A bunch of shit. Do they think in their minds that only superstars + superstars can win basketball games? Basketball is not a fucking arithmetic problem!”

Logo’s assistant reminded: “Well, Showtime and OK seem to be both superstars + superstars.”

“Then Magic, James Posey and Kobe were all selected by me in the draft. Can they be called superstars + superstars?

I already have the best superstar in the league, and the next step is to add flesh and blood to his strong frame! ”

Assistant: “Excuse me, our team doesn’t have a head coach yet. So, we should add brains first.”

I’m convinced by the logo, why is this assistant so annoying!

Did I know there was no head coach! ?

Indeed, head coach selection is the first problem the Nuggets have to solve.

There are many coaches who rely on luck to win a championship, such as a certain chicken soup restaurant tycoon.

But if you want to win three consecutive championships, this coach must be a bit real.

If you only rotate seven players like D’Antoni, even if you can win the championship in the first two years, the players will be discarded by you in the third year.

Bird actually couldn’t solve this problem at the time. He chose to be the coach himself precisely because he couldn’t find such a dynasty coach.

But Logo’s ability in coaching is far inferior to that of Big Bird, and there are not many bright spots in his coaching career.

Therefore, it will not be easy for Logo to replicate Bird’s success in Denver.

Everyone thought that Logo would waste a lot of time just looking for a coach.

As a result, the same night the Nuggets announced the cooperation between Ryan and West, they also officially announced the candidate for the new head coach.

Okay, so now there’s a new problem. All fans around the world have only one question after seeing the results officially announced by the Nuggets:

“Who the hell is this guy?”

Mike Malone is a figure that fans have never heard of.

Everyone has thought about many coaching candidates, and some even think that Logo will use personal connections to ask Tomjanovich to come back.

Is this the result?

You might as well let the old Logo coach himself!

There is not much information available on the Internet about Mike Malone.

People only know that he joined the Knicks coaching staff as a coach in 2001 and served as an assistant coach with the Cavaliers from 2005 to 2010.

Then it was gone.

Having been an assistant coach for 9 years, if you want to talk about experience, he definitely has some.

But after all, he is just a little-known assistant coach.

This kind of character cannot be equated with the great achievements of three consecutive championships!

At this time, most media suddenly realized:

“The Nuggets and Logo have never said that their goal is to return to the championship next season. The Nuggets’ reconstruction plan has officially begun! Asking Mike Malone to be the coach is proof of this!”

During dinner, Logo watched the news on TV fiercely, frowning.

Maybe no one in this world remembers that Pat Riley went from being a little-known assistant to becoming the godfather of basketball today.

Well, Riley was actually applying for a job as a play-by-play announcer for the Lakers!

Announcers can be good coaches, so why can’t Malone, who has been working hard in the coaching staff for years?

So, does it matter whether you were a teaching assistant before? Just be strong!

Of course Logo didn’t sign a random coach in a hurry. In fact, signing Mike Malone was the first step for Logo and Ryan to reach a consensus!

Kroenke had arranged for Lane to talk to Logo before.

The two had in-depth discussions about future team plans, and the head coach selection was the first thing they agreed on.

Everyone in the circle claims that the Cavaliers’ terrible defense is not actually the result of Mike Brown alone, Malone also plays a major role.

After the interview, Logo felt that Malone’s expected offensive strategy was also very constructive.

Generally speaking, Mike Malone is a coach whose reputation is greater than his strength. The only drawback is probably that he is too young and may not be able to hold his own in the locker room.

But this won’t be a problem in Denver, because Denver is Ryan’s team. As long as Ryan is still on the team, the Nuggets players will not find fault with Mike Malone, the rookie coach.

Logo believed in Malone’s ability, and he originally prepared a lot of rhetoric to convince Ryan to accept the rookie coach.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he heard Mike Malone’s name, Ryan nodded happily: “I know him, that guy is very good, just choose him!”

Could Ryan not know about Malone? Malone’s resume is so exciting in the original history.

He may be the first head coach in history who dared to reveal the yin and yang of an opponent’s star after leading his team to the championship.

“The behavior I despise most is that some players overdraw the team’s future to replace superstars for their own convenience.”

“I don’t even care about the championship. I’m happy that I swept the Lakers.”

“My most profound memories of the Finals are the Mavericks in ’11 and the Spurs in ’14. As for who the opponent was, I don’t even remember.”

“Speaking of the Lakers, I have breaking news for you. I’m considering retiring. Although I’m not really retiring, you know, saying that takes the conversation away from the championship.”

Don’t tell me, the most eccentric guy among the coaches really has an appetite for Ryan!

Malone is the kind of coach who won’t be pretentious and polite to you. Even if you are the GOAT, he will still laugh at you.

Of course, aside from the eccentricities, Malone is indeed very capable.

His father Brandon Malone once served as a Pistons assistant coach for a long time, so Mike Malone was influenced from an early age and developed the basketball philosophy of “defense wins championships”.

Later, when he was an assistant coach with the Cavaliers, he put his ideas into practice, and O’Neal commented on him in his autobiography:

“Mike Brown has built his reputation on top-notch defense, and that’s okay. But the real architect of our defense is Mike Malone, that’s him.”

O’Neal’s autobiography was published in 2011. At that time, Mike Malone was just a small role, and there was no need for the Sharks to flatter him.

For the Sharks to specifically evaluate a small assistant coach, and the evaluation is positive, this shows that Mike Malone is definitely the real deal on the defensive end.

His subsequent experience of leading the Nuggets to the championship also proved Mike Malone’s offensive accomplishments. He is not a purely defensive coach.

In addition, Mike Malone has particularly strong team cohesion and is very good at gaining the trust of players.

This is the most rare thing about being a coach.

The reason why Jackson became a legend is that in addition to the triangle offense, he could also control the locker rooms of the Bulls and Lakers, and he could honestly let Jordan and Kobe run the damn triangle.

The same is true for Mike Malone. He can always gain the trust of players.

During the interview, he would wear a special Jokic T-shirt, with a series of questioning words like “can’t jump, No. 41 pick, slow flopper, and out of shape” written on the front, and a series of questioning words printed on the back. The three words MVP expressed his support for Jokic.

He would hug every player after the Finals.

He will find ways to get together with players during the offseason.

He even once made the famous problematic player Cousins ​​​​obedient.

Being able to deal with a weirdo like Cousins ​​​​is enough to illustrate Malone’s ability to control players.

He has defense, offense, and player trust. Mike Malone is indeed an all-around coach with very balanced abilities!

If he comes to coach, Ryan feels that the team will definitely be able to find a clear direction for team building!

So on the matter of head coach, Ryan and Logo easily reached an agreement.

And this made Ryan even more suspicious that Logo was a time traveler!

Otherwise, why would he fall in love with such a little-known assistant coach?

But in addition to Malone, Ryan and Logo also discussed many details.

It was precisely because of the agreement on future plans that Ryan stayed with the Nuggets.

Mike Malone is just the first step in realizing the plan.

Of course, in the eyes of most fans, this is the first step in Ryan’s complete demise.

A team that couldn’t be promoted, a rookie coach who had never established himself.

What is this if not rebuilding?

But the head coach controversy was not over yet. Early the next morning, the Nuggets continued to make news.

The first news is that the Nuggets signed undrafted Wesley Matthews who performed well with the Jazz last season.

This player was produced by Marquette University. Because he was short for the second position and did not show much talent until his senior year, he was not selected in the draft.

However, his three-point defensive performance last season still gave him a little bit of popularity.

The second news is that the Nuggets signed the best sixth man last season, Jamal Crawford, the basketball wizard who can turn the NBA into a street game for two years and 10 million!

There is no doubt that the addition of the best sixth man has greatly improved the Nuggets’ offensive firepower!

The third new and most controversial news.

The Nuggets traded Monta Ellis to the Timberwolves to acquire Kevin Love, Milicic and white point guard Luke Ridnour.

Since Monta Ellis got a taste of being the team’s chief last season, he has found that he can no longer go back.

Although he respects Ryan and likes the team very much.

But he still hopes that he can be traded out, continue to be the boss of other teams, and continue to enjoy unlimited firing rights.

If he continues to stay with the Nuggets, even if he wins the championship, he will only be a supporting role.

But it would be different if he went somewhere else, he could become the real number one!

Ryan also understands Ellis’ decision. Every player’s pursuit is different. Now that Ellis has three rings, he definitely wants to pursue something else.

There is no doubt that the Timberwolves fit Ellis’s requirements perfectly.

Bad teams, bosses, shots, these are what Ellis craves.

And Kevin Love exactly meets the requirements for Logo Man and Mike Malone to build a lineup!

These transactions and signings also happened very quickly, all in one day.

Again, Ryan and Logo had discussed everything beforehand, so they naturally acted quickly.

But

These new players added by the Nuggets, in the eyes of the outside world, are somewhat “crooked”!

Kenny Smith said he didn’t understand very much:

“Let’s talk about it one by one, Wesley Matthews, undrafted, 1.93 meter shooting guard, shot 38% from three-point range in Salt Lake City last season.

But that’s all!

He is always just an undrafted player! Not the kind of player who can change the game!

What does Logo hope he can change about the team?

By averaging 0.8 three-pointers and 9.4 points per game, can he change the Nuggets’ destiny?

Jamal Crawford is indeed an outstanding sixth man.

But in Denver, his defense will become a fatal flaw.

And Kevin Love, this is what I can’t understand the most.

The Nuggets actually gave away the stable Ellis, only to get Kevin Love!

God, Love’s defense is a disaster!

Whether you use him to play the 4th or 5th position, it will be a complete disaster!

The third-year power forward from UCLA averaged a double-double of 14 points and 11 rebounds per game last season, but his shooting percentage was a ridiculous 45%.

You might say that he is a shooting power forward, and it is normal for his shooting rate to be lower.

Sorry, Portland’s Aldridge also focuses on shooting, but so far in his career, there has never been a season where his shooting percentage has been below 45%!

That’s what they call a shooting power forward! Love? He is a blacksmith power forward!

Finishing the offense with a shot is no excuse for your inefficiency!

Assuming these are important signings, let’s predict the Nuggets’ starters next season.

Lowry, Wesley Matthews, Ryan, Millsap, Love.

Well.

Ryan is so unexpected among this group of names!

It’s like putting a plate of gourmet food in a pile of canned herrings!

That plate of delicious food couldn’t cover up the stench of a pile of canned herrings!

Then, pair it with a novice chef like Mike Malone.

I hope Nuggets fans are ready for anti-hypertensive medicine next season! ”

Kenny Smith’s analysis of this starting lineup really confused the fans.

Although everyone knows that the Nuggets have no room to recruit superstars this summer, their summer transfer operations are too stupid.

Was the logo taken away by some random person?

That is the man who personally created the logos of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar + Magic + Worthy, Shark + Kobe.

Why did the Nuggets create such a Saby lineup?

Why?

Forget about Crawford, he was the best sixth man last season after all.

But Matthews and Love are simply incomprehensible.

Laihei all laughed to death, Ryan’s intestines are almost green with regret now, hahahaha! Let go of so many good teammates and stay with the Nuggets?

You have truly become the left-behind lion king now!

When Ryan attended the new shoe signing event in the afternoon, he was also asked questions related to signings.

Faced with the question, Ryan just smiled:

“Is there a problem? I think our recruitment was very successful, we got the players we wanted, it’s that simple.

By the way, I wish Monta Ellis all the best in Minneapolis, we will always be a family. ”

Ryan’s answer was relaxed and carefree, and it didn’t look like he was pretending.

but.

It’s really hard to see what’s so good about these players!

Yes, Ryan just said that they are the players the team wants, so what if the Nuggets’ goal next season is to fail? These players are not what the Nuggets need most!

So the reporters asked again:

“Ryan, is the Nuggets’ goal next season to return to the playoffs?”

This question was already very conservative and concerned about Ryan’s face.

There is no shame in Ryan simply nodding his head and admitting it. After all, with the Nuggets’ current lineup, it will not be easy to return to the playoffs.

The reporter is equivalent to giving Ryan a step down.

If it had been anyone else, the reporter would have asked directly: “Ryan, is the team’s goal next season to compete for lottery picks?”

But Ryan did not take this step. He shook his head:

“Playoffs? No, no, no, our goal is to return to the championship! Next season, we will return to the championship! Now that I am fully back, our glory will also return!”

Everyone was shocked. Does Ryan know what he is talking about?

Ryan certainly knows what he’s talking about, in fact, he’s very confident in achieving his goals!

Indeed, these signings and transactions did not result in big stars.

But he is definitely the most suitable person for the team’s future plans! He is a person suitable for the construction of Mike Malone’s system!

Who said that to win the championship, you have to have stars hugging stars?

I can still do it with a bunch of people who are not stars but have the right strategy!

Artest and AK are no longer able to play the leading role alone, the team’s leading scorer last season was traded away, and the new teammates don’t look very reliable or well-known.

Back in contention?

Ryan’s answer caused fans all over the world to talk about it. Some people thought that Ryan just said a nice word casually.

Some people also think that a discerning Logo will never be manipulated blindly.

But within a few hours, Ryan’s popularity was robbed.

Because no one in the world would have thought that LeBron James, a very famous guy, would actually choose to lower his price to join the Heat!

When people analyzed Ryan before, they said that joining the Heat was very despised by fans.

Because all fools know that this is a shortcut to winning the championship.

Joining the Heat is equivalent to admitting to yourself: “I can’t lead the team to win the championship, so I’m going to lower the difficulty!”

But if James just joins the Heat, it won’t matter.

After all, he entered the league with such a great reputation, but has not yet won a championship. It is indeed a bit unjustifiable. It is normal to want to take shortcuts.

But the weirdest thing is

Such a shameful thing, James actually held a national live broadcast to announce his decision!

He admitted in front of fans all over the world that he surrendered. He couldn’t beat others and could only rely on this method to compete for the championship!

Everyone is very curious about Ajan’s mental state!

In this history, during the live broadcast, James proudly announced in advance:

“Not one, not two, not three. The Nuggets’ era has passed. The 10s of the 21st century will be ruled by us!”

LeBron James eats the softest food and speaks the hardest words!
