Yao Ming was actually unwilling to go to the Seattle Supersonics. Although he is not the absolute boss of the Rockets, he is undoubtedly the boss. McGrady is introverted and doesn't like to talk much. No one else in the team has the strength or fame, so the team's voice has gradually shifted to his own hands. However, after going to the Seattle Supersonics, he will become the second or third person of the team from the role of the team tied for the boss. He can no longer be a symbol of a team, or even a symbol of a city.

The city carries its memories and hard work for six years. It has grown from a famous domestic basketball player to a world-class basketball star. Its reputation has created wealth and social status. However, all this has something to do with its status in the team. If it is just the second or third role of a team, it is impossible to have such a high social status.

Now that I am going to give up all this, Yao Ming is really reluctant to let it go, not for anything else, just for the sake of this city. The feelings of this team have nothing to do with anyone. If Mike Dawson is still here, if Jeff Van Gundy is still here, if Tom Janovic is still here, no matter what, Yao Ming will not leave here.

But things have changed, these people have left themselves sooner or later, and Francis and Padgett, their former friends, have also left. Yao Ming has also experienced the true meaning of the business alliance in his pain. You can have feelings for a team, but not for a person.

Because people will change, but the team will not change. Now, the Rockets and Yao Ming’s initial Rockets can be said to have basically two different teams, and even the stadium has changed. Only the boss Alexander has not changed, but in Alexander's eyes, there is only interests and never human favors.

Yao Ming didn't want to leave because leaving means escaping, which means he lost his persistence and violated his oath, but stayed, he had to endure unhappiness and risked his career.

Compared to any reason, Yao Ming attaches the most importance to basketball. Basketball brought everything to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming also devoted everything to basketball. The status of the boss of the team and the commercial interests are secondary. What Yao Ming wants to do the most is to play basketball, play happily, enjoy victory, and enjoy life.

Just like this Olympics, I am not the core of the team, but I am still very happy because this is a winning basketball. If you like basketball, you will definitely like victory. A player who does not pursue victory cannot have the highest loyalty to basketball.

So what Yao Ming wants to do most is to continue playing basketball. The longer the time you play, the better. The Rockets obviously don't give him this opportunity. The Rockets also know that Yao Ming's time will be better. However, an athlete's sports life is limited. No matter how good the treatment you use, you can't guarantee that the player can keep healthy. Maybe that day he will be reimbursed for injury and will not be able to play basketball from now on, and naturally he will not be able to create benefits.

The more popular American professional manager system adopted by the Rockets is born with a common problem, that is, only paying attention to immediate interests, because this is the guarantee of his position and what everyone requires.

Just like what the Rockets and Daryl Morey considered, they must be how to better sell tickets, sell more billboards, and broadcast more games. Everything is based on this position. He will not consider whether Yao Ming can play for another eight or ten years, because it has nothing to do with him.

What he saw was that if the profits did not meet expectations, the team's balance of income and expenditure would have this problem. This problem would mean that his general manager would be unqualified, and then his job would have problems. Even if he would not be dismissed now, he would be kicked out when his contract expired.

Whether from the team's standpoint or personal standpoint, Daryl Morey cannot allow Yao Ming to be reimbursed for the season, at least it is not allowed to be reported that Yao Ming may be reimbursed for the season.

Moreover, it is obvious that this matter does not require one to charge himself, but just stand up and support Thomas Cranton, because Thomas Cranton's interests were directly affected.

In his reply to Bill Duffy, Morey clearly stated that he hoped that Yao Ming would respect the opinions of the team doctor and negotiate a plan that everyone could accept as soon as possible. He could not interfere with Thomas Cranton's professional judgment, and he would not force Yao Ming to undergo surgery.

It seems that his position is very fair and does not stand completely on Thomas Cranton's side, but the contradiction between Yao Ming and Thomas Cranton's side is already very clear. His current position is actually standing on Thomas Cranton's side.

Bill Duffy even communicated with Thomas Cranton himself. Unfortunately, Thomas Cranton, who had received support from the team, was willing to accept concessions at this time. After hearing less than a few words, he hung up the phone. Bill Duffy was so angry that he was very angry.

He also solicited opinions from other medical experts in advance, with many supporters of Amirk, but also many supporters of Thomas Cranton. He originally planned to use controversy as an excuse to persuade Thomas Cranton, but Thomas Cranton didn't even give him this opportunity. No matter how well he was prepared, no matter how good his eloquence was, it would be useless.

Although Yao Ming was injured and had great risks, Alexander did not think that Yao Ming's value would be depreciated, especially his commercial value. Since the Rockets are so unfavorable to Yao Ming's development, then they will really operate and bring Yao Ming to other teams so that you can see who regrets it when you see it.

Although Yao Ming said he wanted to go to the Seattle Supersonics, Bill Duffy had his own idea. Yao Ming had a good relationship with Stephen, and he could quickly dissolve into the team after he went there. However, this was just a factor. It was impossible to give up the other twenty-eight teams just for this.

Even if Yao Ming is injured, it will be Yao Ming. No one will ignore it. Of course, the transaction value will decline, which is inevitable. But if this is not the case, the Rockets will give up Yao Ming, who has such outstanding value and commercial value.

Because Yao Ming and Stephen both have Chinese backgrounds, there will be some conflicts in terms of commercial value when they go to a team. If they go to a team to act as the number two, Bill Duffy instantly thought of a team, that is, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The young emperor LeBron James has also very high commercial value. Moreover, on the competitive level, LeBron James is unable to support him and has been unable to lead the team to make a breakthrough. He has long asked the team to find more powerful helpers for him, willing, promising, and valuable, and fully meets Bill Duffy's standards.
