Chapter 655

At the end of the draft, Richard asked miles to inform the four newcomers. Half a month later, he came to Charlotte to report, and then he returned to Charlotte.

Charlotte is about to hold the retirement ceremony of Maureen and Peyton, which Richard naturally wants to attend.

Although Maureen and Peyton are not Richard's West Lafayette players, Richard was familiar with these two players in his previous life, and now he is very sad to see them retired.

They are both players who entered the league in the 1990s. They are old enough to retire. Richard knows that in a few years, his own West Lafayette players will start to retire.

At that time, watching the retirement of the West Lafayette player selected by himself, Richard did not know how he would feel.

……

At the retirement ceremony of mourning and Peyton, the two men solemnly thanked Richard and the pirates for letting them taste the taste of the championship.

Jordan is an acute child. In fact, when the playoffs began, he began to customize the championship ring, but he didn't engrave the year on the ring at that time

The reason for this is to prevent the pirates from failing to win the championship this year. If the year is not engraved, these rings can be kept for next year.

Fortunately, Jordan's preparation came in handy, and tonight both mourning and Peyton won their championship ring.

Looking at the two old generals in tears, Richard was very happy for them.

……

After the decommissioning ceremony, Richard returned to his office. Three days later, he will take Tiana and the children to the east coast for a holiday. Now, taking advantage of the last three days, he has to deal with everything.

……

In this draft, Richard started with four new players, but the number of the team will not grow much. First, two veteran players of the team will leave the team, and then the new players who joined the pirate team in 2004. By the end of next season, they will become free players. Richard must deal with these players before he becomes free players.

It's up to Richard to decide whether to renew or sell.

At the 2004 draft conference, Richard chose three players, igodara, Valerio and Ariza.

All three signed four-year contracts at the time, with the last year as an option for the team.

That is to say, Richard needs to decide whether to implement the team option.

Ariza has been sold by Richard in the previous transaction, so what Richard needs to solve at present is the contract between igodara and Valerio.

Now Richard has three solutions.

The first is to carry out the team options of the two, and after next season, allow the two to leave or give them a high salary contract.

Richard is not prepared to give these two people a high salary contract, and the team can sign three top salaries after a day. Richard does not want to give a high salary and limit the future ceiling of the team.

If Richard doesn't give them a big contract, then they will definitely get another team to sign them.

Igodara must be a top salary. Valerio is not qualified for the top salary, but a contract with a salary of millions or nearly 10 million US dollars is indispensable.

So if we carry out this plan, Richard may only let the two players go.

The second option is not to carry out the team option, and to renew the contract with them now

This plan is out of the question. Richard can't give us a very high contract. It's impossible for them to renew their contract.

Richard doesn't know about valegio. Igodara will never let himself suffer

The third is Richard's most inclined aversion, which is to trade the two for chips.

Igodara is the new DPOY and the main member of the championship team. Selling him may affect the team's strength.

But in Richard's view, the impact is not very big. Just as igodara left, Huang manbarroy can play in the starting position.

In terms of defense, Roy is not as good as igodara, but because of the mad dog's lingering props, the gap is not as big as expected.

In terms of attack, igodara is no match for Roy.

In addition, if igodara is traded, Richard is not unable to strengthen the outside line-up, at least he has a good goal now.

The value of igodara's deal is so big that every team is salivating.

Third grade players get DPOY, but also in the championship contribution, the future is absolutely worth looking forward to.

Richard actually knows that igodara's lower limit is indeed high, but the upper limit is not as amazing as other teams guess.

……

In 2004, igodara and Valerio were put on the trading agenda by Richard.

As for the players who joined the team in 2005, Richard is not in a hurry now. He will think about it slowly when next season is off-season.However, although Richard has the idea of trading igodara and Valerio, Richard is not prepared to publicize this, because he has figured out the target of the transaction.

……

Miami Beach, sunny, beach walking back to countless bikini beauty.

"Li, this is a special place for negotiation." Riley said speechless to Richard.

The place agreed by Richard and Riley is on this beach.

"Work and life are the same, Riley."

"Let's talk about your offer except for Oden and Milicic. I'm here mainly for vacation, not to talk about the deal with you." Said Richard with a smile.

"Igodara, we want igodara and Valerio. You'll have Shaq with them." This time patrilly didn't open his mouth to ask for the first round. He knew Richard couldn't give it.

Richard smiled and shook his head. "I feel a loss in exchange for Shaq with igodara alone, let alone Valerio."

"Well, you'll send out the first round of the next year's signing for Shaq heat. We'll sign first and then we'll exchange it for igodara."

Hearing Richard's offer, patrilly didn't shout out that it was impossible this time. He came here to discuss with the pirate team about a result to prevent sleepiness.

"Shaq plus first round, igodara plus Valerio."

"No, Shaq can only change igodara and Chuck Hayes for the first round."

"Shakkah signed for igodara and Hayes."

"A deal, a happy cooperation."

In this way, on Miami Beach, Richard and patelli completed a deal about one of the top 50 stars in history.

At the point of igodara, Richard has his own trading plan, and now as the trading subject, he has also played a role in the exchange of O'Neill.

As for Hayes, Richard really has no position to train the player. O'Neill, Oden and Marc Gasol are going to join, plus the original Milicic, where is Hayes.

Four internal players are the standard match of a team. No matter how many players are there, they are basically the patron saint of water fountains. They can't get any playing time. Hayes can only stay to guard the fountains. Richard might as well come out and trade with the heat.

One round and one O'Neill, Richard was satisfied with the deal.

In the 2008 draft, there are still good prospects in the second round, which can play a good role when signing in.

As for O'Neill, Richard was expecting more.

How strong O'Neill is, needless to say, one of the top centers in the league, even if he is late now.

Richard can keep O'Neill in good health. The league can beat him in the center. There are few.

Most of all, Richard can improve O'Neal's free throw!

This is the most important!

In recent years, O'Neill, free throw is more and more finished. Before that, he could keep a stable 50% hit rate. Even in the 02-03 season, O'Neill hit 62% of the free throw for the first time.

But since the peak season of free throws, O'Neill's free throws have never exceeded 50%, more than 40%

In the season just ended, O'Neill's free throws were even 42%!

And in Richard's hands, Richard only needs a place to stay, can let O'Neill's free throw get a quality promotion!

O'Neal, who has a stable free throw, even an old one, is definitely a chilling existence.

This is one of the reasons why Richard is confident of dominating the NBA next season!

On the day of the deal, Richard called miles, informed him of the deal, and kept in touch with the heat.

Early the next morning, the pirate team issued an official announcement.

First, the team option of not executing igodara's rookie contract, and then signing a five-year $75 million top salary contract with igodara

Most of all, the pirates made a deal with the heat, sending igodara and Hayes for the heat's O'Neill and a round.

The whole league was shocked, and everyone was staring at the news. They didn't know what to say.

It's well known that the heat is selling O'Neill, but even if they want to break their heads, they never expect that O'Neill's family should be the pirate team!
