Chapter 749

After Richard and Larry Bird made a phone call, they asked for McHale's number from him and called directly.

McHale is still very happy. In fact, he doesn't like the job of TV commentator very much. He still wants to return to the NBA.

The clipper is now ready for all kinds of things, which is a good opportunity for us to show our skills.

And Richard likes the inside line, which is well known. McHale feels that he can definitely play an important role in the clipper.

Richard was relieved that the first step of the long march had been made, and the reconstruction of the clipper had a good start.

With the inside coach, Richard will naturally start looking for a shooting coach next.

With the advent of the era of small ball, the role of shooting coach in the team is quite large.

In fact, this position is the best one for old Curie. Over the past ten years, old Curie can be said to be dedicated to helping Richard's new people develop a very good shooting ability.

But now that old Kuri is in the pirate team, Richard can only call for help. After all, his son is in Charlotte. If he invites old Kuri, he can promise, but he will be in a dilemma

When Richard was worried about the shooting coach, a resume was put on Richard's desk by sun Xiaoben.

Steve Cole.

Richard was shocked. He didn't expect cole to send his resume

He and Cole are no strangers. When he was in charge of trailblazers in the west, Cole was the Spurs who played under Popovich.

After retiring, Cole's life was quite natural.

After retiring in 2003, he joined TNT as a commentator, similar to Buckley and Kenny Smith, but he was not as popular as Buckley and Smith, usually on the spot.

In 2007, he was the general manager of the suns

In fact, when it happened in 2007, Richard didn't know what kind of medicine the Suns boss had taken and even let Cole, who had no management experience, become the general manager. It was absolutely crazy.

It turns out that the sun boss is really crazy. Cole's job as general manager is not ideal. He left before the end of last season

To say that is to quit is to be fired.

Then Cole went back to TNT to start the commentary. When the pirates played in the eastern semi-finals, Cole was in charge of the live commentary. Richard also said hello to Cole.

I didn't expect that this guy, like McHale, would make a comeback, take aim at the clippers, and want to take the Clippers as a springboard to rejoin the league.

Now Kohl came here to solve Richard's urgent need.

The team was short of a shooting coach and Cole came to the door.

Future fans must know that Curie is the best three-way scorer in history, which I'm afraid no one will doubt.

But in fact, curry is not the most accurate three break up in NBA history

Among the players who have played more than 500 times in NBA history, and shot more than one three-point per game, Cole reached the top with a career three-point shooting rate of 45.4%.

In Richard's memory, Curie's career three-point shooting rate is less than 44%.

Of course, there are so many shots from Curie, Cole is certainly not comparable with Curie, but at least in terms of hit rate, Cole is the most accurate one.

In Richard's view, Cole may also be a typical example of a wrong age

If he entered the NBA in the era of small ball, maybe Cole's achievements would be much greater than his normal situation.

Although his defensive ability has limited him to become an all star player, it's no problem to play a stable start just by virtue of his precise shooting skill, standard point guard 191 height and super high player.

……

"Little Ben, tell cole to pack up and report to Los Angeles." Richard decided to take Cole without saying a word.

At the moment, when there is a shortage of people, Richard has to use even if Cole has such shortcomings.

……

With the joining of McHale and Cole, Richard's coaching team has been reorganized.

Interestingly, at present, Richard's four assistants, sibedo, Mark Jackson, McHale and Steve Cole, will become the head coach of the league team in the future.

And they are all famous managers

……

There is no need for scouting. The coaching team has been set up. Next, some necessary senior managers of the team, such as financial, legal, business and other senior managers, are recruited. Richard has given sun Xiaoben full responsibility.

The general framework of the team has been established, because it is nearly three months before the start of the new season, so there is plenty of time.Richard then focused on the team's lineup construction, which is undoubtedly the top priority of a team's rise.

The Clippers last season actually had Kaman and Eric Gordon, two good players.

Kaman, in Richard's view, is similar to the Cavaliers' big Z.

Of course, the strength is certainly not as good as big Z. big Z is also the top salary level in any case. Kaman has a little gap.

But even if there is a gap between the peak period and the big Z, the value of Kaman in the trading market is actually quite good.

The game attitude is diligent, don't make those little moths. Although the defense end is sometimes smart and sometimes not smart, in general, the interior defense can be said to be passable, that is to say, the top interior defense like Yao Ming will suffer losses.

Under normal circumstances, the domestic fans know Kaman, in fact, because Kaman was teased by Yao Ming many times in the game

On the offensive side, the technique is still comprehensive. There is a mid shot, and nothing too big can be found.

In a word, it's a valuable player. If Richard trades Kaman, he will get a good chip

But how can stern leave this wealth to Richard? Before Richard took over the clipper, he sold Kaman.

Sold to New York Knicks and traded Carman for sharks.

Of course, this shark is not O'Neill, but Eddie curry

At that time, when the deal was concluded, Richard was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Shaq was still in the league. It seems that he hasn't heard about the goods for a long time.

But the contract of this product is not small. Like Kaman, it's an annual salary of 10 million US dollars. The salaries of the two men match

Richard couldn't help but praise Stern's means. This old guy just used everything to make a hole in himself.

Of course, this operation may also be stern's intention to help Nix. He helps Nix from time to time, which is not a matter of two days a day.

Everyone in the League knows it, even the fans know it, but they are tacitly lazy to mention it

If you don't help the stinky tomato team in New York, it's over.

Last season, the two highest paid Knicks were Tracy McGrady and Shaq.

Shaq played seven games last season, each in less than nine minutes, with tens of millions of dollars to watch the water cooler.

In recent years, McGrady's condition has declined sharply due to injuries.

Last season played 24 games in the Knicks, averaging only 9.4 points per game.

Think about the state of the two highest paid Knicks. If stern doesn't help, Knicks will be completely cool.

So Eddie Curie and the Knicks signed a round in 2012, replacing the clippers with a quasi all star Carman.

Is there any hole in this operation? Naturally, the pit is home

But since Richard, the bitter Lord, didn't jump out to question the league, no one else was qualified to say anything.

The only thing Richard is happy about is that this year is Shaq's contract year

Shaq's contract, which was close to $12 million in the last year, expired.

In this respect, Richard can operate.
