Chapter 744: A Turbulent Alliance

On June 28, 2007, the annual NBA draft came to an end in Madison Square Garden, relying on his outstanding performance in March Madness, Greg Oden beat Kevin Durant to become the champion of this season's draft, and Kevin Durant, who was favored by Meng Xu and others, was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics with the second pick in the first round.

On the second day after the end of the draft, a blockbuster trade occurred, just when people were expecting the addition of Kevin Durant to make the SuperSonics' outside two guns into a three-shot musketeer, the SuperSonics officially announced that they had reached a one-for-three deal with the Celtics, and the SuperSonics traded the star Ray Allen and a second-round pick to the Celtics, getting the Celtics' forward Wally Szczebiak, guard Delonte West, and this year's No. 5 pick Jeff Green.

After getting Ray Allen, an All-Star scoring guard who averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game last season, the general manager of the Celtics announced that the Green Army's trade and reinforcements are not over, and they will continue to seek trades to get another All-Star-level interior before the trade day deadline, forming a team led by three All-Stars to fight against the powerful PacersIt is simply impossible to adapt to the current NBA and defeat the powerful Pacers, and if you want to beat the Pacers, you must form a lineup consisting of two superstars, or a superstar plus two All-Stars, or even three All-Stars, in order to defeat the Pacers and end their monopoly on the championship.

From what Danny Angie said in an interview, you can clearly feel Danny Angie's ambition, and Larry Bird's close to Danny Angie's pressure in recent seasons can be said to be quite large, with the support of Cousey and others, Danny Angie, who served as the general manager of the Celtics, sent away the team's boss Antoine Walker at the beginning of his tenure, and then rebuilt the team according to his own ideas, but the tragedy is that under the cardinal's strategy, the Green Army finally improved a little, Immediately fell back to the bottom.

Watching Larry Bird's Pacers keep reaping championships, but the team they support is wandering in the lotto area, whether it is the Celtics fans or the leading player Paul Pearce, the patience for the team seems to have been exhausted, in the Pacers' visit to the North Shore Garden, the Celtics fans on the scene held high: Larry, please, come back and save our team! Danny Angie, who saw this scene, couldn't have been without ideas. And Paul Pierce, who is the core of the team, also has a showdown with the club's management at the end of the season, hoping to send him to a team with championship hopes, the 30-year-old Pierce does not want to linger on the edge of the playoffs year after year, Pierce very much hopes that he can wear a championship ring before retiring.

Faced with the double pressure of fans and players, Danny Ainge knew that he could not go on like this, and it was better to wait for an illusory king player to save himself and the team in the draft, and it was better to take the initiative in the free market, even if it was to exhaust the team's future, to build a team that can challenge for championships in the coming seasons.

After making up his mind, Danny Angie and his assistant comforted Paul Pearce, promising him that he would definitely bring one or two excellent helpers, and then Danny Angie looked for stars who had the same idea as Paul Pierce throughout the league, and in the nearly ten years that Meng Xu and Duncan have ruled the league together, there must have been a lot of players who were unwilling to be a passerby for a lifetime, and their entire career was not a championship.

After appeasing Paul Pierce, Danny Aaron contacted All-Star guard Ray Allen, who is two years older than Paul Pierce, and his desire for a championship must be stronger than Paul Pierce, so after making contact with Danny Pierce, Ray Allen quickly expressed interest in partnering with Paul Pierce.

As for the management of the SuperSonics, after missing the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, the management had the idea of rebuilding, and it just so happened that the SuperSonics were very lucky to get the list of this season, one wanted to leave, and the other did not want to stay, so the SuperSonics quickly reached a deal with the Celtics and sent Ray Allen to the Celtics.

Just after sending away the star Ray Allen, the management of the SuperSonics let the entire league see, what is called courage, what is called broken jar and broken, just ten days after the deal with the Celtics, the Magic announced that they had reached a sign-and-trade deal with the SuperSonics, and after Ray Allen left, Rashad Lewis in the supersonic outside double gun announced that he jumped out of the contract and became a free agent, Immediately, the SuperSonics signed a 6-year, $118 million super contract with Rashard Lewis, and on the day the contract was signed, Rashad Lewis was sent to the Magic.

Just when everyone was still intoxicated with the determination of the supersonic pendulum, the two subsequent trades made everyone realize that next season's NBA was going to be messed up.

Pat Riley, who aims for a championship, signed the big shark O'Neal from the Lakers with a big contract, but after O'Neal joined, for four consecutive seasons, the Heat either fell at the feet of the Pistons or lost to the Pacers, and was never able to break through from the East, and O'Neal's injury last season also made Pat Riley realize that it was time for the Heat to rebuild again, so after the end of the season, Pat Riley began to peddle O'Neal. And the Suns, who lost to the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals last season, after the end of that series, were looking everywhere for an interior line that could compete with Tim Duncan, in order to make up for Stoudemire's lack on the defensive end, and also hoped to allow Stoudemire to put more energy on the offensive end, so the two sides hit it off, and the Suns sent power forward Sean Marion and Marcus Banks, and got the big shark O'Neal from the Heat.

O'Neal's trip to the west to Phoenix will undoubtedly change the pattern of the entire West, posing a very big threat to the Spurs and Lakers, and the next deal will have a more significant and far-reaching impact on the league pattern than O'Neal's journey to the west.

Just a month after the Celtics and SuperSonics completed the Ray Allen trade, the Celtics' official website made an announcement that made all Green Army fans cheer, the Celtics used Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, Ryan Gomez, Sebastian Telfair, Theo Ratliff and two future first-round picks and a multi-million dollar cash to trade 10 All-Stars, regular season MVP, and 8 All-Star selections from the Minnesota Timberwolves. and Super Interior Kevin Garnett of the All-Defensive Team.

After getting Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett in succession, the Celtics have jumped from a fish belly in the lottery area to a super powerhouse capable of competing for the championship, and at the joining ceremony held by the Celtics for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen also made no secret of their joy, and put aside their arrogance to join forces with Paul Pierce to bring a championship trophy to the Celtics.
