Chapter 555

After the championship ceremony and the retirement ceremony of the Jersey, Richard and the general came to the largest nightclub in Detroit City, and he will not return home drunk tonight.

The pistons will complete the grand feat of defending the title. Next season, they may even win the title and build a dynasty. At the moment, everyone is full of vision for the future.

"Coach, I'm a free agent now. Can I join the pirates as a free agent before the next season?"

"To tell you the truth, I'm a big fan of Pirates of the Caribbean. It's a fascinating movie. I want to be the captain of the pirates!" Clark asked in a low voice as he approached Richard.

At the end of the season, Clarke's previous contract expired, and he was able to join the pirates as a free agent to help Richard's team strengthen its internal strength.

Of course, with Clark's current alliance status, it's impossible to say without a top salary.

If it's a top salary, Clark will probably get a six-year contract of 96 million dollars.

In Richard's view, it's really a bit of low cost performance

To know that Richard is the boss now, the cost of the team naturally needs to be carefully considered. Although Clarke is worth such a large contract, Richard can use less money to get players who are no less powerful than Clarke.

In addition to considering the cost, Richard just went to Charlotte and directly turned away the main internal force of the piston team. Then the piston fans will definitely not accept it.

On the whole, Richard can't agree with Clark.

"Just stay with the pistons and try to win another championship this year and help them build a dynasty. Then you will become one of the greatest figures in the history of the pistons."

"I heard old Davidson is ready to give you a top salary contract." Richard waved and smiled.

Clark didn't look distressed after he was rejected.

The reason why he asked Richard this is not that he really wanted to go to the pirate team.

Compared with going to the pirate team, he is more inclined to stay in the piston and help the piston build a dynasty. This temptation is quite huge for any player.

Now he just wants to repay Richard's help.

"Well, coach, I wish your pirate team a lot of money!"

……

"Coach, do you know who's on our piston protection list?" Nash asked Richard curiously.

It's less than half a month before the expansion draft starts.

Now the players of all teams are curious whether their home team has put them on the protection list.

Richard shakes his head. He really doesn't know about it. In fact, it should be decided by the president of the team and the manager

However, he is the main character of the draft expansion. Naturally, it's not easy to get involved in this, so he left the job to Dumas.

"Coach, who do you think you are most likely to choose from us?" Nash asked curiously again.

He is the most senior player in the pistons, and naturally has a better vision than other new players.

The strength of the piston player is beyond his imagination

The protection list can only protect eight players, Nash is curious about who Richard will choose in the next draft expansion.

Richard laughed. "According to my estimation, I may choose Dako..."

At this, all eyes were on Dako Milicic.

At this time, Milicic was sitting in the corner, with no sense of existence. Hearing Richard's words, he was shocked.

At first, he thought Richard was disappointed in himself and would not have any interaction with himself in the future.

I didn't expect that Richard would choose himself in the draft of expansion?!

He is very clear that the piston in the draft expansion is the top priority, because only eight players can be protected, and many high-quality new players will be exposed, such as Josh Howard, one of the two brothers David Lee and David West

"Don't be surprised, Dako's potential is far beyond your imagination." Richard looked at all the people with a gaping look and couldn't help laughing.

"Dako, your problem is your self-confidence. I hope you can think about it in the next period of time."

"Players who don't have confidence on the pitch will never develop very well."

"In the next new army, I will reserve a starting position for you. I hope you don't let me down!"

Hearing Richard's words, Milicic, who was sitting in the corner, nodded solemnly on his face, and looked at Richard's eyes full of firmness.

It turns out that Richard has not given up on himself, and that he still has the hope of rising.

"When the champions March, remember to bring the gold medal of the West Lafayette. This year's West Lafayette players are really very sad. There are few opportunities to wear the gold medal in public in the future." Yao said with a smile.Everyone nodded, because the dress code was issued, these players who just won the gold medal, unless they take shopping during the off-season, otherwise, it is difficult to have a chance to wear the gold medal.

But the next championship parade can show off

……

At the end of the championship parade, Richard took part.

But as soon as the parade was over, Richard rushed to Charlotte.

There's a lot more to Richard about the wedding.

The mother and daughter of Tiana are all in Charlotte for the wedding.

"Jody, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still so young and beautiful." Richard saw his mother-in-law and laughed and praised her.

At home, Richard will have to call for his mother now. If he doesn't call for his mother, it's not appropriate

Let alone Richard, who called his mother-in-law's name directly, if he stayed at home, he would not get married.

But I don't like this in Lao Mei. If Richard yelled at Jody, it would be very embarrassing.

In this way, Jody is actually a few years older than Richard. Richard can't really shout out his mother's words.

Jody was so boasted that she couldn't close her mouth with a smile. She's over forty now, but she's well maintained. Now she's smiling with a lot of charm.

……

Because the wedding has attracted so much attention, Paul Allen specially told him to do something luxurious, and he has paid for the wedding.

Richard thought about it, as if he had to call uncle Paul Allen now.

It's not a bad thing to have such a great uncle

In May, Paul Allen bought a villa in Charlotte and gave it to Tiana as a wedding gift.

The area of the manor is too large to be exaggerated. According to Richard's estimation, it's worth ten million dollars to go up

The wedding place is naturally set in this manor, and now it's time to start arranging.

After spending a whole afternoon, Richard's hands were numb

For hundreds of invitations, most of the invited guests, Richard, did not know each other very well, but their names were all like thunder.

Richard's guests are all NBA insiders, as well as some alumni he knew before Purdue University.

As for the guests of the Allen family, it's really diverse, including some NBA executives and some top stars of other sports leagues

To know Paul Allen's sports industry, not only the trailblazers, but also the owner of the NFL Seattle Seahawks. Many professional football stars are invited.

Of course, the entertainment circle is also full of people who are invited

Paul Allen is the chairman of American cable TV operator and the shareholder of DreamWorks film company. He is a star with no weight. He can't really get into Paul Allen's eyes.

Political and business people, some of the biggest names, are also on the invitation list.

After the invitation was sent out, although the wedding had not yet begun, the old American media had already asserted that it might be the most grand and high-level wedding in the whole history of the United States.

The whole family is such a treasure, such an important thing, Paul Allen can be said to be a blood bank, in order to make TIA have a memorable memory, he even invited the vice president.

……

On June 20, Richard left Charlotte for NBA New York headquarters.

The 22nd is the start of the draft expansion. The venue is set at the headquarters of New York. Richard and Jordan have agreed to meet in New York tonight.

This year's draft conference is on June 25, which is also in New York, and is held in Madison garden square.

For the next week, Richard estimated that he would have to stay in New York.

……

"Man, I heard that even the vice president is going to your wedding?" Jordan asked incredulously.

Richard nodded. Paul Allen told himself that he was not joking.

Jordan blinked. "It's good to have money!"

It's really nice to have money. Although Jordan is also famous in America, if he gets married, he can't invite a nuclear bomb like vice president.

There are still several grades between him and Paul Allen.

"I heard that Michael Jackson is the hot guest of your wedding?" Jordan asked incredulously again.

Richard nodded again. This is what Jody did. He also told Richard

"God, you are really developed. You should take good care of your elder brother when you marry into such a powerful family." Jordan joked.

"Go to your place..." Richard said with a bitter face.Marry into a big family? It's a strange thing to say.

But in some people's eyes, it's true.

Richard certainly can't accept this statement, because he will never be worse than Paul Allen in terms of his ability, wealth and contacts in the future.
