After the meeting of Bucks' management, naturally other executives agreed.
After all, for bucks, it's a matter of profit without harm.
Anyway, the war record is already rotten like this. It's better to help the pirate team. I may get some benefits in the end.
Stoudes told Richard the good news. Richard took a long breath. Although the Bucks may not be able to get the top two draft right, they have a better chance as long as they are crazy. After all, they have a 46.5% chance to get the top two.
……
Richard watched the live broadcast of the next bucks game. It can be seen from the situation on the field that the bucks are really rotten enough. The opponent is the famous fish belly Knicks. As a result, the Bucks lost 19 points in the game.
……
Richard has some troubles now. If the Bucks really get the first two picks, what should they do then?
Because now Durant joined Purdue University, Richard also does not know whether Oden will be the number one hot.
However, this possibility is quite large. As long as Oden can play excellent data, even if he does not lead the team to win the championship in the end, his draft prospects may be better than Durant.
No way, who makes Oden a big insider, and the media's comments of gods and gods, he is not unlikely to press Durant to become the number one.
If the Bucks get Richard the top spot, then when Oden is selected by the top scorer, Richard can only choose Durant.
And if the Bucks win the top spot, Richard may feel more inclined to win Oden.
Durant is strong, but what the pirate team lacks most is a traditional interior that can hold the field.
Richard doesn't like fast break very much. Although he used fast break tactics from time to time, the basic tactics of the three teams he built are all half court positions.
Half court position tactics, there is no traditional inside line that can hold the field, that is definitely not good.
Richard needs a super traditional interior like O'Neal, Duncan or Yao Ming.
Although Oden didn't fulfill his talent, but the talent is there. If there is no injury, Richard is quite optimistic about Oden.
The key is that Oden is a low-key player. He is not the kind of player who shouts and shouts. His character is also appreciated by Richard.
……
If the Bucks didn't get the first two picks, there was a mark Gasol in that round, which was Richard's backup plan.
Pau Gasol is good at defense and organization, but in Richard's view, it's just that he lacks the ruling power that can be settled in one stroke.
If he can't get Oden, Richard has no choice but to use Pau Gasol.
……
At present, the pirate team has four draft rights in the 2007 draft, and the two draft rights brought by itself, needless to say, must not be too high.
In addition to the first round of the Bucks, Richard has a second round of 76 people in his hand.
The 76ers are not as good as they are now. This season, they only win more than 40% of the time. Maybe they can't even get into the playoffs in the end.
Their second round of signing should be good enough for Richard to sign a favorite player.
……
Just as the regular season was in full swing, there was a big deal in the league.
The Philadelphia 76ers made a deal with Denver gold diggers. The 76ers sent Iverson away and got Andre Miller from the Nuggets. Joe Smith, who has only $7 million left in a year's contract, plus two future first round draft picks.
The deal is exactly the same as Richard's well-known one, except that it needs to be delayed a little bit.
Normally, Iverson was traded to Nuggets this season, 15 games after the start of the 2006-07 season.
And now it's a month later.
……
The deal is a win-win deal in the eyes of the League insiders, but in Richard's eyes, it's a double loss.
Philadelphia 76ers have a bad record at the moment, but they still have the same record after the transaction. It's better to keep Iverson, at least to attract some fans to watch the game.
Iverson had the best performance of his career last season, scoring 33 points per game. If Kobe wasn't too fierce, Iverson would have won the scoring king of last season.
This season, Iverson is playing these two months of the game schedule, is also 31.5 points per game, offensive firepower is quite fierce.
In Richard's view, the 76ers didn't make any money unless they got decent players in the first round.
As for nuggets, they didn't make any money. They paid such a cost. As a result, they went on their first round trip in the playoffs for two years, that is, they exchanged Iverson for Billups, and finally touched the floor of the Western Conference.Richard was not surprised by the success of the deal. He was surprised that Iverson didn't get angry with him.
But it's also normal to think about it. Iverson's arrogant nature, he was traded. He must be ashamed to tell Richard.
Richard sighed and called Iverson.
"Alan, in fact, you should tell me about it. Our pirate team can provide some chips. Maybe they will stop Hu and nuggets."
Richard did have the intention to trade Iverson, but not this season
At the beginning of his 15 games, he saw that the Philadelphia 76ers were quiet and thought Iverson would stay in the 76ers this season.
As a result, the deal happened this season.
"Coach, there's no need. I'm not Brent. It's not time to hold your thigh."
"Brent is old. I'm young. I want to fight for another few years to see if I can win the championship by myself." Iverson said with a wry smile.
In fact, Iverson is not only thinking about this, he is very clear that if Richard is going to cut the Nuggets, the pirates will pay a very heavy price, and even affect the playoffs of this year's nuggets.
First of all, there is no lack of No. 1 position in the pirate team. Iverson must have been watching Richard's game, knowing the strong lineup of No. 1 position in the pirate team.
Paul and Rondo, although young, are now showing their first-class traditional point guard strength.
Even with Iverson's arrogance, he asked himself that his organizational ability and defensive ability were not as good as these two new melons.
If I'm in the pirate team, what about these two new melons? They can't always play as substitutes, and they can't play as substitutes
Secondly, the price of the 76ers is too high. Iverson and the 76ers in Philadelphia have privately discussed what kind of chips they need to pay if they apply for a deal with the pirates.
Results 76 managers gave two plans.
The first one, Milicic and Valerio
The second option is for igodara to add a first round signing to gavalejo.
This let Iverson completely cut off the idea of joining the pirate team, because if the pirate team really has to pay this kind of chips, then the lineup is completely split.
No matter which trading scheme, it will make the pirate team lose its strength.
The main reason is that Iverson can't play number two. He can only play number one.
If he plays in position 2, his height disadvantage and defense disadvantage will be expanded infinitely, which is totally not worth the loss.
As a result, Iverson told the team executives directly that he had contacted Richard privately, and Richard did not agree to the deal.
……
Richard himself also wondered why the 76ers in Philadelphia wanted to trade Iverson. They should be clear about their relationship with Iverson.
If Richard knew about it, he would not be confused.
Iverson didn't mention it to Richard either. He didn't want to make Richard difficult.
Iverson is still looking forward to joining nuggets. Nuggets have a good squad, at least a lot better than the 76ers.
It may give him more capital to fight for the championship.
"Coach, do you think my trip to Nuggets will be successful?" Iverson wondered what Richard thought of the deal.
"I don't know. No one knows what will happen in the future. Work hard, old man." Richard also can't bear to tell Iverson the truth, which is too striking.
Spurs and Suns are just at a time of strength. The Lakers are emerging. Now the west is starting the hell mode. Iverson joining the west at the moment is definitely not a good time.
If Iverson joined the western team at a weak time in the first two years, he might have a good playoff record.
"By the way, Allen, what's the idea of the 76ers? Are they ready to support Dazhi?" Richard hurriedly shifted the topic and didn't want to continue talking about the prospect of gold digging.
"As far as I know, it doesn't seem to be. The 76ers' management may be ready for a complete reconstruction in the past one or two seasons, and Dazhi may be put on the shelves next year." Iverson said with a wry smile.
Think how brilliant the Philadelphia twins were when they beat Jordan's bulls in the playoffs.
But times have changed, now the Gemini star is gradually dimmed down, even to the point of being put on the shelf by the team.
Thinking of this, Iverson sighed heavily. If he had had the same luck as Big Ben, he would have several championship rings in his hand now, right?
