Chapter 775

On April 14, the last race of the Clippers regular season was against the 76ers in Philadelphia.

Over the years, the 76ers have accumulated some good players, but they are not the top stars.

Wang Zhizhi has been on the bench this season, and this season is his contract year. I don't know if he will stay in the NBA after this season.

Apart from Wang Zhizhi, there are some good players in the team, such as Zhu huoledi, cedis Yang, reed, nosioni, sbetz, and Evan Turner. But because there is no one who can make a final decision at the critical moment, their performance is not much better than that of the eagles.

In the warm-up phase before the game, Dazhi found Richard.

"Coach, after this season, I want to join clipper at the base salary to see if I can mix a championship ring before the end of my career." Dazhi said with a smile.

"Welcome, welcome." Richard naturally welcomed.

Dazhi is not young at present. He is already walking towards the age of 34.

At such an age, the speed of Dazhi is far from the peak. Its main offensive means is to rely on its own speed, get rid of the big players in opposition, and then get comfortable shooting space.

Now with the serious decline in speed, it is difficult to find so many comfortable shooting space, in 76 people are also reduced to substitute.

But even so, Richard will not refuse Dazhi. No matter how weak Dazhi is now, it must be better than those rotten eggs in the Clippers team. Let Dazhi stay on the bench. According to the situation, it may play a good role.

"But you have to be prepared for a long fight because I don't know when I'm going to win the championship." Said Richard with a smile.

Although from next year, clipper's lineup will basically start to take shape, but lineup does not mean that it will definitely win the championship.

Clipper's team into the playoffs, it is not a big problem, but want to win, it is estimated that the short-term is certainly not good.

"It's OK. Let the children come to Los Angeles to go to school."

"By the way, it's said that they are all in the same school. Let's let my kid join us then." Dazhi asked shyly.

Dazhi's son's name is Wang Xilin. He is one year older than libit's three kids. If he came to Los Angeles for school, he would be in the same grade as libit

With a father like Dazhi, Wang Xilin must not be much shorter. Richard remembered that when he was 14 years old, he was over 1.9 meters tall.

Richard is already a primary school student who sympathizes with Los Angeles

Dazhi has made a lot of money in recent years, and he naturally wants to let his son get a better education. Now when he comes to Los Angeles, in addition to wanting to get a championship ring before the end of his career, it is estimated that he wants to let his son Wang Xilin get a better education, which is also an important reason.

"Well, OK, I'll go talk to Kobe during the offseason." Richard nodded in answer.

……

The Philadelphia 76ers won the game, and the clippers were basically playing soy sauce, except for a little shark who swiped the data.

Richard is also lazy to preach to these players, since most of them will be washed out in the next season or two.

……

With the end of the regular season, the playoff list is also hot. Of course, it has nothing to do with the Clippers. Richard is planning to find a team to play autumn and get a draft right at the bottom of the first round.

This draft right is naturally used to choose Jimmy Butler

Although Jimmy Butler is not in Richard's team building plan, such a player, such a low ranking, no one is sure to miss.

Cost performance is quite high, only the first round 30, but can get this kind of black rough hard players.

……

Clippers are 29-53 this season, third from the bottom in the West and sixth from the bottom in the league.

The Atlanta eagles, who had made a deal with Richard before, were embarrassed to fail to make it into the eastern playoffs and only got a ninth record in the Eastern Conference.

Richard was extremely satisfied with this record. If he didn't get into the playoffs, he could get a draft right of 14 in the first place, which was enough.

On May 15, the NBA's annual draw convention began.

Because Richard didn't have a strong desire for too high ranking draft right, he didn't participate in the draw in person this time, but let Sun Xiaoben go to New York instead.

In the end, sun Xiaoben's luck can only be regarded as the sixth from the bottom of the league. As a result, he took the eighth pick

Sun Xiaoben, who was content to get a number one pick back for the clippers, is now only in eighth place, which makes him rather embarrassed.Richard is quite satisfied. The eighth place is good. Anyway, it must be enough to take clay Thompson.

As for the draft right of the eagles, luck can only be regarded as a rule of thumb. Their league's 13th from the bottom, just took a 13th place

In this way, Richard has two more lottery draft rights, one eighth and one thirteenth.

The eighth is for clay Thompson, the thirteenth is for Leonard, Richard is quite satisfied with the situation.

……

What Richard didn't expect was that as soon as the draw was over, a team came to him and wanted to make a deal with Richard to get clipper's No. 8 draft.

This team is the Spurs

Richard recalled the action of the previous spurs in this draft conference, and can roughly guess Popovich's idea.

Normally, the Spurs have only one 29 pick in the first round of this draft, but Popovich has been looking for a deal, hoping to get a top 10 pick in order to win Leonard.

In the beginning, they focused on the ninth place draft right of Bobcats, but the deal failed.

However, after Leonard was selected by the Pacers in the 15th position, Popovich immediately made a big move, and made a deal with the Pacers with the team's outstanding backup guard George Hill, in exchange for Leonard.

In the deal, the Spurs sent out only George Hill, but got Leonard, a No. 42 and the 2005 draft signing of Robert roebeck from the walkers.

Now it seems that there are no underpants left for walkers.

But no one thought the walkers were losing. After all, George Hill scored an average of 12.4 points in a Spurs team in the second grade.

Now Popovich comes straight to Richard with George Hill.

George Hill changes Richard's No. 8 draft right

It's only strange that Richard can promise. How could he get the No. 8 sign that he was not easy to get? It could not be sent out because of a George Hill.

Richard is actually curious about how Popovich is sure Leonard can fight. After all, Popovich is not a passer-by

At the moment, Leonard is not famous at all. In terms of attention, he is not as good as the Morris brothers in the same election.

Some experts compare Leonard to Rodman, because Leonard's offensive skills at that time were so rough that he didn't even see it.

I'm afraid that the only thing that the whole person can do is to have long arms and big hands. It's a good material to grow into an outside defensive elite.

Leonard himself was not born in a famous school. He was not famous in college. In addition, the team was only a defensive leader. Naturally, the ranking was not high.

But even so, Popovich still wants to trade a top 10 draft to win Leonard. To be honest, Richard really doesn't know where Popovich comes from

……

"Li, are you sure you don't want to think about it?" Popovich asked, frowning over the phone.

In fact, in Popovich's opinion, the chips he gave were actually taking care of Richard, because he didn't ask for any additional chips at all

At the moment, the Clippers team, with a George Hill will be a perfect reinforcement.

Hill is 191 cm tall. He can play in the position of double guards. He can play in position 1 and position 2. There is no position conflict with Sun Yue.

After taking hill, Sun Yue formed a backcourt combination with him. Although it is not the top backcourt combination in the league, it is also powerful.

What Popovich didn't expect was that Richard didn't even hesitate at all and refused himself directly!

Does this guy have a good choice?

Thinking of this, Popovich is a little flustered
