Chapter 711: Three Musketeers disband, Spurs and Suns further strengthened!
Seattle SuperSonics.
Last season was the second year Ray Allen officially came to the SuperSonics; he only played 29 games the season before last, and the team chemistry wasn't enough.
This season.
Ray Allen + Rashard Lewis + Vladimir Radmanović formed the strongest "Three Musketeers".
SuperSonics fans looked forward to the sparks of the three.
Looking forward to this year's SuperSonics killing all sides, entering the playoffs, challenging the Western Conference Finals, and even rushing out of the West!
And the result?!
They played a record at the bottom of the West, miserable to look at.
The formation of the "Three Musketeers" was declared a failure and subsequently disbanded.
The SuperSonics management, seeing no future, gave up on the "Three Musketeers" and prepared to wait for a new leader, then rebuild the team.
This triggered the next two major trades that exploded the league.
What?
First, one of the "Three Musketeers", "Gentleman Sword" Ray Allen, was traded to the Spurs.
Second, one of the "Three Musketeers", Rashard Lewis, was traded to... the Suns.
For the Spurs.
Although they sent out Hedo Türkoğlu, Robert Horry, and a future first-round pick and a second-round pick.
Making the team's bench depth greatly reduced and the future without guarantee.
But trading for the team core-level shooter "Gentleman Ray" Ray Allen, such a trade was really too profitable.
This profit.
Doesn't mean Ray Allen is a superstar and he will be the boss when he comes to the Spurs.
But rather... on the basis of having the "GDP", the Spurs got another powerful shooter who can break through for dunks and whose three-point shooting is in the top five of the league.
Then the strength soared, crazily rising.
Next season's Spurs starters: Parker + Ray Allen + Bowen + Duncan + Rasho Nesterović, bench: led by Ginóbili.
Because of Ray Allen's existence. ===== CHAPTER 713 =====
