NBA: God-level talent

Summer 2003 to summer 2004.

This year was definitely one of the most turbulent seasons in NBA history and had a huge impact on the league landscape.

First of all, from the draft side, the Platinum generation joined the league in 2003.

Lebron James, Melon Anthony, Dragon King Bosh and Heat Soul Wade will all be princes who will dominate the league for many years.

What’s more, there is also a Lin Mo who has not tasted defeat since entering the league to the present.

In the rise of fame, Stephen Marbury changed hands and joined the Knicks.

The dismal record of Magic made Tracy McGrady disheartened and chose to join the Rockets next season.

Maverick boss Cuban, who has become intolerable to Steve Nash, is about to throw him to Phoenix, and the era of the Sun’s Running Boom is about to begin.

Moreover, the F4 combination of the Lakers has cracked.

The failure to win the championship six months later also led to the sharks swimming east.

In the midst of this turmoil and change, Lin Mo’s presence has made the situation even more serious.

Because of the strength of the Knicks, it is currently in second place in the championship odds list, second only to the Lakers’ super F4 combination.

This has forced many executives in the league to consider whether to look at the draft market and choose some players whose talent has exploded to rebuild.

Don’t say that the selection of super geniuses like Lin Mo, even players like James, Anthony, and Wade are completely enough to be the cornerstone of the team.

As a result, a lot of teams with rebuilding ideas have to speed up the process of their reconstruction.

Obviously, the first target of these teams is Lin Mo.

There’s no team that doesn’t want Lin Mo’s.

These include the Lakers with Kobe Bryant and the 76ers with Allen Iverson.

Even if these two famous superstars really got Lin Mo over, he would also become a star in charge.

The NBA looks at talent, looks at age.

Lin Mo, a newcomer who is only 19 years old, still has explosive talent and unlimited potential, will also treat him as a grandfather when he changes to which team.

Of course, Knicks management isn’t stupid.

These teams are just casually asking questions without hope, what if there is a miracle?

Although, such a miracle cannot happen!

Meanwhile, inside the Knicks general manager’s office.

General Manager Donnie Walsh and boss James Dolan were sitting on the couch, drinking red wine and talking.

Trading was supposed to be what management should do, and although James Dolan was the boss, he had little experience in trading players.

He is just an investor and generally leaves it to the management.

But this time is an exception!

Dolan chose to personally interfere in the team’s deals.

Because he can’t wait to hit the championship this year.

Can just one Lin Mo lead the team to the championship?

Altogether!

If nothing else, the Knicks could even make the playoffs this year with a league-No. 1 record.

But not many teams in history have won the league’s No. 1 championship.

Why?

Because the regular season and the playoffs are very different worlds.

Every round of the playoffs, every offensive defense, the other side will target your loopholes.

Every disadvantage will be infinitely magnified and easy to target.

But if a fatal flaw is targeted, the team may break through the playoffs.

There won’t be so many targeted tactical deployments in the regular season.

The Knicks’ biggest problem right now is defense.

At the back, Marbury’s defense worked perfectly, and the front’s Keith van Horn was decent.

But the inside line of Kotter Thomas and the aging Mutombo, is a bit under-looking.

Against the powerful Pacers and Pistons on the inside, the Knicks interior was blasted.

If it weren’t for Lin Mo’s crazy rampage, the Knicks wouldn’t have been able to win.

But Lin Mo in the playoffs, can he have such a performance?

Absolutely!

However, every game made him so consumed, I am afraid that before he reached the finals, he would exhaust Lin Mo first.

Not to mention that the intensity of the playoffs has increased by more than two grades compared to the regular one.

Relying on Lin Mo alone is only very promising to impact the championship, but the probability of failure is also extremely high.

Lin Mo must find more powerful helpers to make up for the shortcomings of the defense in order to be foolproof.

In this era of defensive championships, Lin Mo’s firepower can cover up all the problems of the Knicks, but the hidden dangers are still great.

“Boss, general manager, are you looking for me?”

At this time, Lin Mo came to Donnie Walsh’s office.

Because after defeating the Pistons and returning to New York, Donny Walsh immediately contacted Lin Mo and wanted to consult Lin Mo on the transaction.

In general, players are unable to interfere with team transactions and drafts.

The players are only responsible for playing, and those are the things that the team management should do.

But some superstars still have the right to give advice to management and even interfere in transactions.

Lin Mo is already a superstar, and after a season, it is inevitable that Lin Mo will be crowned.

As the façade of the future league, the absolute core of the Knicks, Donny Walsh and James Dolan will definitely offer him as an ancestor and listen to his advice.

“What are you optimistic about the players? We have a first-round pick on our side, two second-round picks and some junk contracts that are expiring, which is a good bargaining chip for teams that are eager to rebuild. ”

What does it take to rebuild the team?

What is needed is draft picks, and salary space!

The expiring junk contract can help the team quickly clear a lot of salary space in the summer to sign superstars.

And draft picks allow teams to pick potential rookies.

These two are clearly the favorite chips for rebuilding the team.

Because the Knicks were so bad in previous seasons, draft picks and expiring junk contracts piled up quite a bit.

This is very advantageous for them to make heavy trades.

Donny Walsh didn’t have any nonsense, and directly consulted Lin Mo to see if he had any favorite players.
