One Hundred and Thirty Eighth, if You Can't Get Yes, You Can't Get Oden (1/5)
Bucks general manager Larry Harris has been under a lot of pressure recently.
Big beyond imagination!
After the 02-03 season, the Milwaukee Bucks ended the era of George Karl and the "Three Musketeers".
Larry Harris was ordered to accept the reconstruction task given by team owner Cole in a critical situation.
The new season is already his fourth season of rebuilding in the Bucks.
In a place like the NBA, four years is both a short time and a long time.
For Larry Harris, the time is very short, and it is really not so easy to complete the reconstruction in four years.
But for the Bucks owner Cole, four years is a long time, and the Bucks don't have so many four years for Harris to squander.
He needs to see the Bucks rise sooner, and his patience is slowly wearing off.
If it weren't for the fact that Harris' relationship with the Bucks is really deep-rooted, he would have been fired by the Bucks long ago.
Larry Harris' father, Del Harris, is a former head coach of the Bucks and is very well connected in the NBA.
Larry Harris himself entered the Bucks management in 1985.
This is a real person.
Since he is one of his own, he will naturally be more tolerant.
No matter how tolerant the Bucks boss is to Harris, Harris can't be confident in the face of the yes deal.
After the start of the new nba season, yes's performance in the nba can be called miraculous.
Such a miraculous performance of yes will put the deal of yes under the microscope and be examined by people all over the United States and even the world.
who's the biggest idiot in this deal
Bucks general manager, Larry Harris!
Larry Harris has always felt innocent.
In this deal of yes, the Bucks are not the main body. The Bucks never thought of getting yes.
He just wants the Raptors' Villanueva.
Villanueva scored 48 points against the Bucks in his rookie season.
For such a rookie who can score 48 points in his rookie season, it is not a problem to send TJ Ford, who is already weak against the Bucks, and a future first-round pick.
At least Larry Harris doesn't think there is any problem with this deal.
However, what Larry Harris never expected was that the Bucks with Michael Reed, Ruben Patterson, Mo Williamson, Andrew Bogut and Villanueva performed this season. would be so bad.
According to Larry Harris' vision, after the Bucks get Villanueva, they should take off directly.
They all took off, the lineup was assembled, and the value of the first-round pick was gone.
But who would have thought that the Bucks with such a super lineup would start so badly.
The Bucks have a record of 8 wins and 12 losses in the first 20 games.
Such a record can only be a lottery in the East.
The Bucks' record makes the first-round pick they traded to the Sonics instantly worth money.
And it is worth a hundred times!
Regardless of the probability, it is a chance to get Emperor Alden!
If the Sonics really use this pick to get Oden the Great, Larry Harris feels that even if the boss does not fire him, he will have no face to stay in the Bucks.
In the yes deal, Harris and the Bucks are just supporting roles.
But now because of a chance to get Oden the Great, he has become a laughingstock just like Raptors general manager Colangelo.
Even he is worse than Colangelo.
Colangelo lost yes and handed yes to the Sonics, which just upset the local fans in Toronto.
Now Colangelo gets booed at the start of every Raptors game.
Hurricane Garfield, which was originally yes, can turn into a blizzard in Toronto.
It was Colangelo who sent the Toronto blizzard back to Garfield.
But that's what the fans think too.
But to those basketball experts, Colangelo's yes isn't that great, but it's not that bad either.
The Raptors are now ranked second in the East, second only to the Boston Celtics.
The Raptors' achievements this season can definitely be regarded as the completion of the reconstruction, not to mention that they still have a bunch of first-round picks from the Boston Celtics.
So no matter how crazy Colangelo was booed by Raptors fans, he didn't have much pressure.
But he, Larry Harris, is different.
Now the Bucks' record can't support him at all. Not only has he encountered dissatisfaction from fans, but the media and experts are now laughing at him.
In this five-party deal of yes.
The Celtics got it now, and the Boston Big Three crushed all the teams in the Eastern Conference.
The Raptors got the present and the future, ranked second in the East, and the future will not be bad.
The Timberwolves got the future and completed the reconstruction.
The Sonics got yes and also completed the rebuild.
Only the Bucks, what the Bucks want is the present, but not only did the Bucks not get the present, they also lost the future!
It doesn't matter if you don't get yes, and you lose Oden!
Now Larry Harris can really appreciate the pressure faced by the Sonics management.
"I hope we can make the playoffs, if we don't reach this goal, not only you, I will leave the team, Terry, you know what I mean"
Terry Stotts certainly understands.
He was also very ambitious at the beginning of the season, but the current development of the Bucks is indeed disappointing, and he also understands the pressure of Larry Harris.
"Terry, the playoffs are in the future. In this game against the Sonics, I don't want to lose, and I can't lose!"
don't want to lose...
Stotts doesn't want to lose either. The Bucks are in a bad situation now. If they continue to lose, not to mention realizing their ambitions, it will be difficult even to enter the playoffs.
Although the Bucks' record of 8 wins and 12 losses is not very good in the Eastern Conference, with the Bucks' hard power, there should be no problem entering the playoffs.
But if you lose to the Sonics, you can imagine how much pressure the Bucks players will face.
Yes is the center of a storm. If the people in the center of this storm cannot stand firm, they will be doomed!
"Terry, I don't want to say this. If you can't win this game against the Sonics, I think this should be your last game in the Bucks."
the last game for the bucks
It came earlier than expected, and Stotts had thought that he would dismiss get out of class in the Bucks this season.
But I didn't expect it to come so early.
yes is such an amazing player.
Bobcats head coach Bickerstaff resigned, and Heat star Gary Payton retired. If he is added, the storm rolled up by yes is really a coach and veteran killer.
"Larry, I will be responsible for the loss of this game. I believe in the strength of the Bucks"
"I also believe in the strength of the team. Terry, we have enough strength to stand up again. Yes is just a test on our way to the top of the Eastern Conference. As long as we pass this test, our future is bright!"
Is the future bright?
Stotts hopes so.
However, in order to get such a bright future, he and his disciples must defeat the Supersonics.
No, what must be defeated is yes!
Powerful is not supersonic, it is yes!
