At the end of the draft conference, in the next few months, Richard will be more relaxed and have nothing to do.
Taking advantage of this time, Richard will accompany his wife and children
At present, the three boys are over six years old. Before Richard gave Li Jin a height growth potion, so Li Jin's height has increased a lot in the past six months, but there must be a big gap compared with libit.
According to Richard's estimation, Li Jin's height is about 190-195 after he has made great strides, almost exactly the height of playing No. 1 position.
And libit must be the height of the center
When the time entered July, Richard also took a few days to prepare for the signing of the players.
Shaq Eddie Curry's contract expires, so it's impossible for Richard to renew his contract.
However, Shaq didn't find a job. This season in the clippers, he has 13 points and 8 rebounds on the court, and many teams want to introduce him to play as a backup center.
Of course, Shaq can play this kind of data, which is purely the effect of props. No matter which team wants to sign him, it must be facing the situation of chicken and egg fight in the end.
Originally, thunderbolt wanted to sign Shaq, but Richard stopped him. Anyway, thunderbolt was his own man. Richard didn't want his man to suffer such a big loss.
In the end, Shaq was signed by the eastern fish belly knight. Of course, the contract amount is not big, only 12 million US dollars in two years. Anyway, there is a lot of salary space for the knight now, and they probably don't care about that money.
……
There is only one year left for Camby's contract. Richard has no choice but to recognize it with his nose in his hand, or even to deny it. Without Camby's ten million level contract, the clipper's current salary will not even reach the poverty line. Even if he gives Horford a top salary, it will not be counted as Camby's ten million year salary contract, nor the poverty line.
For hofford, Richard didn't offer the top salary, but gave a contract of 65 million US dollars in five years, with an average of 13 million US dollars a year.
The contract is actually a good one. It's a little higher than the 60 million dollar contract given by the eagle under normal circumstances.
Horford is also very witty. In the face of Richard's first offer, he agreed without saying anything and didn't wait for other teams to make a possible offer.
In his opinion, this contract is actually quite excellent. Other teams are unlikely to give too high a contract even if they offer it. Anyway, it is unlikely to give Durant level contract.
Durant also renewed his contract with the pirates this year, with a five-year top salary contract of $85 million
Fortunately, Richard and Milicic signed a relatively low contract amount, which made the pirates be able to renew Durant's contract. Otherwise, Jordan would have no place to cry.
……
In Richard's hands, Horford feels that he will surely be able to achieve some of the achievements that other players dream of in the future.
And it's in Los Angeles. Who doesn't want to stay in Los Angeles?
The excellent amount of the contract, together with other factors, finally made hofford not hesitate to stay.
This year, Richard's four new hires are all signed with clippers.
In the first round, Tang Shen, Leonard and Damascus monkey were all the first round contracts. If they didn't, they were all the first round contracts. Richard couldn't do anything special.
However, Richard gave a four-year contract to young Thomas, which was signed according to the salary of the first round 30 of the first round.
This contract made little Thomas live a kind of touching that a man died for his confidant
He is just a player who is on the verge of losing the election. As a result, Richard gave a first round treatment. How can he not be moved.
And this contract also represents Richard's attention to himself. I'm afraid that his life on the clipper is much better than he thought.
After all, if Richard doesn't pay attention to himself, he can't give such a contract unless the money in Richard's hand really has no place to spend
Richard gave little Thomas a four-year contract. Naturally, it was for the purpose of saving money. If he signed little Thomas for two or three years according to normal circumstances, Richard would have to pay a lot more money then
……
The hofford contract was signed and the four newcomers' contracts were settled.
Then Dazhi signed a contract with the clipper, signing a two-year base salary contract of 4.6 million US dollars
The reason Dazhi came to clipper is to get a championship ring before the end of his career, and the second is to get a better education for his son.
In fact, Wang Xilin was born in Los Angeles and became an American
When it comes to nationality, some fans will think that Dazhi's admission of his son to the United States is "a matter of forgetting his ancestors", but Richard thinks it's nothing.
Dazhi must also think that his son will be able to go on the basketball road in the future, and the basketball environment in the United States is much better than that in China, so that he can participate in all kinds of regular games when he is a child. In this case, in order to have a better development for his son, Dazhi has nothing to do with admitting his son to the United States.Who doesn't want his son to have a good future
In addition to Dazhi, this time, to Richard's surprise, T-Mac even made a base salary.
Last season, T-Mac had a base salary of $1.35 million in Detroit. Now the contract is over. In T-Mac's current state, either he retired directly, or he can only find a team to get a base salary
In this case, it is natural to return to Richard's hands to attract McGrady.
It's a good story that my career started with Richard and now ends with Richard.
For McGrady's application, Richard naturally agreed without hesitation.
Although T-MAC will not have a good performance on the court now, which has little impact on the team's strength improvement, after all, as long as a base salary of more than one million dollars, such a cheap price, don't waste it.
In this way, the Clippers next season's lineup is very clear.
Horford, Dazhi, McGrady, Sun Yue, Leonard, Thompson, Parsons, little Thomas, Camby, Monroe.
In addition to these ten players, the Clippers had some players in the original lineup, Richard should be eliminated, and there are four left in the end.
These four players can't be sold, and it's unnecessary to buy them out. It's just a matter of staying in the team to gather people.
With 14 players confirmed, Richard is looking forward to the coming season.
Although the team wants to win the championship now, it must be a dream, but even if it can't win the championship, Richard will try his best to play better this season.
After all, clipper's first round of 12 years is not in hand. No matter what the final result is, the first round draft is not theirs.
……
In fact, Richard is not very satisfied with the current lineup. He has a light nod, a light foot and a big butt.
There are too many people available for the front and back line, while the players available for the inside line and the No. 1 position are in short supply.
The inside line is now available, that is, hofford plus Monroe. Monroe plays center, while hofford plays power forward.
And No. 1 player, at present, the only thing Richard can get is little Thomas
There's a bit of overcrowding on the frontline.
In this case, Richard naturally had to find a way to adjust, and he thought of Sun Yue at the first time.
"Coach, are you looking for me? Haha...... " Sun Yue pushes the door into Richard's office and smiles.
"That's right. I want to talk to you about something." Richard beckoned Sun Yue to sit down.
"Do you want to take a regular and valuable honor?" Richard asked, knocking at the table.
Sun Yue is stunned. Is there a gold medal in the regular season? Good guy, the coach let himself compete for the regular season MVP?!
Think, of course, that's what I think. A fool doesn't want an MVP.
"Yes, coach, I do!" Sun Yue said excitedly with a surprise on her face.
"Just think about it. I'm afraid you don't want to..." Richard nodded.
"Well, then I'll put you in the reserve team. You work hard to get the best sixth man this season!"
"Ga?" Sun Yue's eyes are about to pop out
Is it not the regular season MVP, but the best sixth man? Good guy, you're on the bench now?
Want to know that last season I was in the All-Star team, and this season I will be a substitute?
It's hard to think of Sun Yue's pain here. Although the best sixth man is indeed a valuable regular season honor, the premise is to play the substitute
Who would want to play as a substitute if he could start?
"Why, no?" Richard asked with a smile when he saw Sun Yue's face was bitter.
"No, I would..." Sun Yue said something insincerely.
"Don't be reluctant, in fact, playing the substitute is not as miserable as you think, if you have enough time to play."
"I will guarantee your time, not too little."
"Look at the Spurs' Ginobili, who is also a substitute, but they can be all stars. I hope you can study hard."
Now Sun Yue can only promise
In fact, the reason why Richard let Sun Yue play as a substitute is mainly to let Tang Shen and Xiao Ka get more opportunities for tempering.
In the future, forward and defensive players will be the top priority for a team to win the championship. It's extremely irrational that Richard can't put treasure on Sun Yue.
Now let Sun Yue play as a substitute is Richard's helpless move
Not surprisingly, the starting lineup of clippers in the new season will be: Center Monroe, power forward Horford, small forward Leonard, point guard Thompson and point guard Thomas.
This line-up reminds Richard of the green Kai line-up under normal circumstances.
That's Stevens's 16-17 green Kay.This green Kai's starting lineup is Horford, Amir - Johnson, Bradley, Claude and little Thomas.
The green Kay made it to the Eastern Conference finals, which is also Stevens's famous work.
Look at the lineup, the Clippers' lineup is very similar to this green Kay.
No. 1 is little Thomas.
Position three Claude is a 3D type of small forward player, compared with Leonard now. Avery Bradley of position 2, although there is no comparison with Thompson, but the defense of the two men is quite excellent, but Bradley is only 188 cm tall, far from Thompson's flexibility in the defense end.
Sometimes, Thompson can even defend from position one to position four.
As for the interior line, this clipper has a lot of similarities with lvkai.
At this point, Richard doesn't need to think about his tactics in the new season, just copy Stevens's tactics system on green Kay.
However, although the lineup is similar and the same tactical system may be used in the future, Richard is confident that his clipper will achieve much more in the future than the green one.
Without him, the gap between the front and back line players is too big.
Bradley is a good player, but when it comes to Thompson, there is absolutely no comparison. Thompson's contribution in the game is far greater than Bradley's.
As for Claude and Leonard, there is no comparison. They are not players of the same level.
In this case, it is clear that the ultimate potential of the two teams is not at the same level
