Chapter 425

"Let's go, Li. What are you waiting for?"

"There will be a flight back to Washington in two hours. I'll get someone to book your ticket right now!"

Jordan is really crazy

Richard took a strange look. He didn't know if he should add the fifth condition, that is, Jordan's team he didn't go

In fact, it's a good choice to join the Wizards. The main reason is that the Wizards won the first place in the draw this year.

That's the number one pick Jordan used to sign Kwame Brown.

If Richard joins the wizards, he can get Pau Gasol or single Joe without Jordan being involved in the draft

However, since Richard is sure to take Yao Ming, it's not too much to add. It's a waste to use the number one pick.

As for Joe Johnson, Richard also felt a bit wasted.

Besides, Jordan's side is not sure whether he will be involved in the draft. To know that this guy's favor for Kwame Brown is definitely good.

Look at Kwame brownby. Look at my son's parents

This may also be the cut of love and hate. Kwame Brown didn't meet Jordan's requirements, so he drove Jordan crazy.

Jordan would not be so harsh if he were a regular player.

……

As soon as these four conditions are said, many teams sighed. They are out of business.

Patrick, who used to be hot, wants to stay here and see if things change.

But when Richard heard that he wanted to hold three concurrent posts, he suddenly turned his eyes.

Is this guy the devil? He has done all three jobs. What is he doing? To be a court cleaner?!

Most of the team's owners and executives left with a sigh

Mark Cuban's eggs hurt a lot. He just bought the Mavericks. He can't fire old Nelson. That's a bit too heartless.

And their Mavericks are also the western team, not meeting the conditions of the Eastern team

In this case, Kuban can only leave.

There are five teams left, the Washington Wizards, the New Jersey Nets, the Atlanta eagles, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons.

These five teams basically meet Richard's requirements. At present, they are all praying for luck to come to their own heads.

The nets just fired Larry Brown a few days ago, not because of Richard, but because of the irreconcilable conflict between him and Marbury.

Marbury talks to management, either trading himself or firing Larry Brown to make a decision.

As a result, it's easy to guess that Larry Brown is out of work again

It's a terrible job loss. It may basically be the end of Larry Brown's coaching career.

At least in the NBA, it's over.

It's not that he's not good at coaching, it's not that he hasn't led the team to make any good achievements in these years. The real reason for his downfall is his ability to deal with the relationship with the players in the team.

The walkers and Reggie Miller had a lot of trouble before, but now they can't coexist with Marbury. Which team dare to risk signing LeBron.

It's not a super coach like Richard

……

Washington Wizards, Richard is not very interested, then there are only four of these five teams.

"If you don't go back first, you will have five teams to choose from!"

"I can't run, I have to find a job in the League..."

Jordan and others immediately waved, saying no.

"We'll wait for you to make a decision in Portland. If not today, we'll wait until tomorrow. Anyway, if you don't make a decision in one day, we won't go in one day!"

Other people have similar ideas with Jordan. They are here to take Richard back.

Once Richard joined, they will get rid of the status of fish belly!

"Well, you can help yourself. I have to think about it carefully!"

"I'll give you an answer by the end of tomorrow."

Said Richard, frowning.

He really has to think about it carefully. It's not a game of eating and living. If he doesn't choose, Richard will be very passive at that time.

……

After Jordan and others left, Richard was finally clean.

Sitting in the office, Richard frowned and began to think.

The wizards were eliminated, leaving the nets, the Cavaliers, the eagles and the pistons.

Among them, the Cavaliers team can basically be ruled out

In order to get Harrington, they sent out two first round signings in the next three years, that is, the first round signings in 2001 and 2003

Although it won't affect Richard's selection of Yao Ming in 2002, two first round draws were lost at the beginning of the game, almost equal to two All-Star players were lost. Richard is still quite unacceptable.Eagles, there is no draft right, but now there is a fat Toutuo in his hand.

Richard can't stand it

Fat Toutuo's contract is still not young. In Richard's opinion, this product is a cancer. It's not good to take new teammates with him. In case the tragedy of Billups happens to Yao Ming, Richard really has no place to cry.

Net, in fact, there is such a problem, there is a cancer in the team, and the net is now locked salary space

Marbury and Keith Van Horne's top salary contracts are still years away. Richard feels a little bit lost

At this point, it seems that the only one suitable for Richard Richard is a piston.

Several teams are in the same situation, but the pistons have their own unique advantages.

The first is salary space, which is quite sufficient.

With Grant Hill being poached by the magic, the highest paid player in the pistons this season is Stackhouse's 5 million-a-year salary.

Although Richard doesn't like Stackhouse very much, it doesn't mean that other teams don't like it.

29.8 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game, but the figure is only 5 million annual salary. In the eyes of other teams, it's just a hot cake

You know, this season just ended, Stackhouse is the third in the scoring list, second only to Iverson and Kobe Bryant!

Iverson and Kobe Bryant are both top paid players of more than 10 million, more than twice as expensive as Stackhouse.

There are still some salary space is not enough, and the lack of defender players, eager to join Stackhouse.

Stackhouse's trading value is quite good. Although its strength is not so good, the data is not expensive, so it's easy to get good chips.

……

Apart from Stackhouse, there is no famous player in the pistons.

It can't be said that there is another Joe Smith who is famous, but he is also devoid of the strength of others. He plays soy sauce with an annual salary of 2 million yuan in piston.

In addition to this is a blank, more blank than white paper

It's just right for Richard to show off!

At present, the piston's bottom is really poor, but it is precisely because of such a poor bottom that Richard's ability can be truly reflected!

Besides, Richard likes the historical style of the team.

There are bad boy pistons in the East and Portland gangs in the West.

The only thing that bothered Richard was that the pistons traded Grant Hill and magic for a bunch of rotten tomato eggs!

For Atkins and Geon Clark!

In normal history, Hill traded Atkins and Big Ben, but the magic certainly didn't have big Ben. Instead, they got Richard's Super Center Clark.

If he's going to operate the deal himself, Richard is sure that he doesn't want any players. He needs draft rights.

In this way, in this year's draft conference can make a difference!

At present, piston has only two draft rights, one is the No. 9 draft just drawn, and the other is the draft right of the second round's total number 37.

A little embarrassed

The number nine sign says that the height is not high, and that the height is not low, but it's a little difficult to use.

No.9 can't sign sister-in-law and singles Joe. If you sign Elvis Presley, it's a waste. After all, Elvis Presley was chosen as the bottom of the first round

So for the first round, Richard will have to deal with it.

As for the second round, in normal history, the piston got the Mamet OKU, which was almost a missed choice.

The peak Okur, which can get 18 + 9 per game data, also has a good three-point ability. Regardless of his mediocre defense, Okur is a pretty good player.

Even if the defense is mediocre, Okur is fierce enough at the defensive end

Unfortunately, under normal circumstances, Larry Brown came to the pistons and sold OKU directly to the jazz.

Otherwise, the talent of that piston is really a little scary

But think about it carefully. If Okur is not sold, he may not be able to fight under Larry Brown.

……

Of course, in addition to these reasons, the piston has a place to attract Richard.

That's the top spot in 2003

In the deal between Grizzlies and pistons on Thorpe in 1997, Grizzlies and pistons agreed that in the next six years, that is, the six years of draft conference in 1998-03, grizzlies can give pistons the second to the 18th ranking draft right in any year.

It sounds rather tongue twisty

Generally speaking, grizzlies can give their 2-18 pick to Detroit every year between 1998 and 2003, which is their bargaining chip for Thorpe.Basically, it's a kind of draft right protection

But their protection is quite different from the top three protection, top five protection and lotto protection traded between other teams.

Results from the beginning of 1998 to this year's draft conference, Grizzlies' draft ranking was very high, and the first three years were all top picks

This makes grizzly bear reluctant to give piston.

They want to run into luck. Maybe next year they will be in the 15th or 18th order? In that case, it's not a loss to give the piston

As a result, it was a terrible hit. It directly hit 2003. Although it was position 6 in 2001, they had the players they wanted and were reluctant to send them out

Until next year, in 2002, they signed on the fourth.

In 2003, they got the top spot again. This time, Grizzlies are stupid. They can't give them if they want to

In this way, the pistons without any reason more than a top spot, this luck is simply against the sky.

……

If history doesn't change, it's unlikely to change. Grizzlies are still the biggest fish belly in the west, and it's hard to turn over.

When Richard joined the pistons in 2003, he would get a top spot without doing anything. It's just a beautiful thing.

With so many favorable conditions, Richard is sorry for not going to the piston.

"It seems that the piston is the only choice!"

Richard made up his mind, and his final choice was Detroit Pistons.

……

The next morning, Richard contacted the other four teams and told them about his decision. After all, it was not appropriate to spend too much time on others.

When Jordan got the news, the whole man was stupid

Richard is playing with himself?!

Said to join the wizards, suddenly changed his mind to join the pistons?!

If Richard knew that Jordan thought so, he would be quite innocent. When did he say he would go to the wizard

I don't think about wizards at the beginning, OK!

As for the nets, eagles and Cavaliers, they can only sigh secretly. They are not the lucky team, which is impossible.

They are now envious of piston's good fortune

That's Richard. They have every reason to believe that the piston will rise in a short time!

Even if the pistons won the championship directly next season, they won't be too surprised

……

The pistons are also the owner of the team, William bill Davidson.

Piston is a team with a long history. Davidson is not the first boss of piston. The first boss is zolna, who is even crazier than Cuban. He has done a lot of amazing things

For example, invite a referee to coach your team.

For example, take your girlfriend to watch the ball on the team bench.

For example, the team's 24-year-old player was appointed as the head coach, the player and coach, the only one in history

After Davidson took over the pistons, because of his more stable and introverted, low-key and steady personality, it may also affect the piston's style.

In terms of assets, he is also a relatively upstream group among NBA bosses. His asset situation is similar to that of Mark Cuban.

Apart from the pistons, there are many other sports clubs.

……

Richard also didn't talk to Davidson, and agreed to meet him in Detroit half a month later.

At present, Richard is ready to finish the work of the pioneers first.

In other words, at least after I leave, I have to recommend a successor coach to the Blazers

Richard recommended Zhang Weiping directly to Paul Allen.

Zhang Weiping has been with the Blazers for many years, and he has a good understanding of the players in front of the Blazers.

In addition, he has a very good ability to deal with the relationship with the players. He plays with the players at hand, both Big Ben and small Ao, and he is very fond of this funny and humorous middle-aged man.

Paul Allen said nothing and agreed to come down. I'm afraid he is not at ease when he changes to another coach.

It's not uncommon for a champion team to fall apart because of the disagreement between the general and the manager.

Now with Zhang Weiping, at least you don't have to worry about the situation of the general's discord

As for the ability, Zhang's ability to adapt to the circumstances is certainly not as good as Richard's, but at present, the team of pioneers has been fixed, just follow Richard's designated route and go on.

On the whole, Zhang Weiping may be the best coach.

Of course, Stevens is OK, but he is still too young. He is not as spicy as Zhang Weiping in dealing with some tough issues.

……

"I feel like I'm not strong all over. Why did I suddenly become the head coach? I didn't have any psychological preparation..." Zhang Weiping sat in Richard's office, pouring bitter water.Richard is speechless, Mr. Zhang. Is this a bargain?!

You should know that Paul Allen's salary to Zhang Weiping is three million years. It may not be much compared with Richard's, but it is higher than the average coach.

Now there are at least ten coaches in the League whose annual salary is about two million dollars!

"Miss Zhang, can I tell Paul to let Stevens do the work?" Richard asked with a chuckle.

"Oh, don't introduce..."

"Isn't it a fool if I don't do such a beautiful job?" Zhang Weiping laughed and said.

"You're going to Detroit in a few days. Let's talk about what's next..."

"To be honest with you, I'm at a loss now. I really don't know what to do next." Zhang Weiping said with a wry smile.

Richard nodded: "there is no hard work, that is, a draft conference, and an off-season deal!"

"At the draft conference, I will provide you with two candidates. You can watch the selection yourself. One is Zach Randolph, the other is Tony Parker, the point guard!"

"The two of them, with the draft rights of our trailblazers, it must be impossible to choose..."

"But we still have the first round of Chevalier's signature on hand. It shouldn't be a problem to choose one."

"But don't worry. Next, it's better to sell Nowitzki and Ginobili for more chips. What you want to change depends on how your manager plans to build the lineup next!"

Richard said his plan with a smile, and Zhang Weiping was stunned.

Good guy, before Richard left the team, he thought about who to choose at the draft Conference for the trailblazers?!

Zhang Weiping immediately took the small book and wrote down the names of Zach Randolph and Parker.

However, he is quite confused. He can understand the trade of Nowitzki. After all, Nowitzki has a contract of years. If he doesn't trade, he will play like Kobe Bryant after this season.

Trade Ginobili what the hell

Shouldn't we trade another Lewis to contract year?

"What about trading Ginobili?" Zhang asked curiously.

Richard can't explain this to Zhang Weiping

At present, the reason why Ginobili has such a strong offensive and defensive ability is that he is bound with Beverly's love!

when Richard goes to Detroit next season, he will definitely change the bound players

At that time, Ginobili's defensive ability will decline, so it's better to take advantage of his high transaction value and sell it first to exchange more chips for the team.

Anyway, I have to sell early or late

As for not selling Lewis, the main reason is that his trading value is not very high. Even if he did, he would not be able to get a good chip. Instead, he might as well stay for his own use and replace Nowitzki.

Richard waved and was not ready to answer Zhang Weiping's question about Ginobili.

The road itself has been defined for the pioneers

Even Richard didn't have to name Zach Randolph or Parker.

It's mainly Richard who feels guilty about the pioneers and wants to make up for them now.

If the pioneers don't follow their own way, Richard can't help it.

Do all you have to do, and a clear conscience is enough!
