Chapter 789

Two days later, eight teams from the top half of the East and West finished their first round.

In the first round of this year's playoffs, there are eight groups of competitions, none of which have won the title of "seven"

The Spurs beat thunder 4-0 straight and crisp this time. Duncan told Guo Fu that you are still your boss

And the western third place blazers, but also five games to kill the last year's defending champion Mavericks.

Last season's Xi Jue was a match between the Blazers and the Mavericks. As a result, the Mavericks were promoted and the Blazers were eliminated. This year's Blazers also took revenge.

There's no suspense in the East, it's all easy promotion.

……

People's playoffs, playing in full swing, Richard was not idle, began to contact each team to discuss the deal.

It's Monroe that Richard wants to trade this time. Although the macaque is also in Richard's trading plan, at least Richard is not going to sell the macaque this season.

At present, the Damascus monkey has not reached the highest value point. If it is sold, the price must not be much higher.

And Monroe's current value is pretty good

Just finished this season, Monroe as the clipper's official center, the performance is admirable, in Richard's request, Monroe joined the clipper from the day began to practice three points.

At present, Monroe also has three-point firepower, but the accuracy is not good. Generally speaking, the level of 30% is better than the level of nothing.

Richard knows that this may be Monroe's ultimate three-point strength. If he practices again, he may not be able to improve.

Richard knows about this, but other teams don't know. After all, at present, Monroe is just a new player who has just finished the second season. It seems that there are many possibilities.

Average 12.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.7 blocks. In the season just ended, Monroe's performance in all aspects is remarkable. There is no short board, but there is nothing particularly dazzling.

Richard first contacted the New Orleans Hornets. To be exact, they are now called the pelicans of New Orleans.

Ballmer followed Richard's advice, bought the Hornets and changed his name to pelicans.

In fact, it was not Ballmer's idea that the pelican would be renamed. It was voted out.

For example, the former Charlotte pirates, if the fans vote to determine the name of the team, it is estimated that the final name will be Charlotte Bobcats.

……

Although Richard doesn't know Ballmer, it's impossible for him to call Ballmer when dealing with a player.

Richard contacted Pelican manager Monty Williams directly and said he wanted to trade Monroe with them.

Monty Williams is a good talker. He's a junior manager.

When Richard first joined the league, in fact, Monty Williams was still in active service, and didn't join the League for a long time

He entered the league in the draft in 1994, the same rookie as big dog Robinson.

The player's career is just a small one. He has wandered several teams in the league and never played a stable start.

Until he retired in 2003, the best season of his career was only 9 + 3.

In the nine years from 1994 to 2003, how much did Richard do to stir up the league?

It's hard to count, so Monty Williams shouldn't be too impressed with Richard. At the moment, Richard calls him, which makes him feel a little excited.

He said nothing about Richard's appeal to the management of the team, and then began a long meeting.

Pelican is the second lowest player in the league this season. He was lucky enough to win the first prize in the draw

Richard was not stupid enough to get Monroe's top pick for Pelican. It's impossible to think about it. It's only a fool who would agree.

What he really wants is another first round signing on pelican's hand, a No. 17 show right from magic trade.

At the 12th draft conference, Richard didn't know how to evaluate it. There are many excellent players, but they mainly focus on the high ranking and the low ranking rookies are much less than those in 11 years.

At least in the top ten, there is no one who can match Leonard.

Thinking of this, Richard was amused by himself. His idea was that players like Leonard appeared in the 15th position very sparsely, as usual

In fact, the chance of success of the 15 ranked players is quite low. Since the establishment of NBA, before Leonard, only one Nash has been selected by the 15 ranked players.

The other top 15 players, although they have good quality, but the grade is definitely not good enough.

That is to say, since the establishment of the NBA, the 15th ranking has been available to both players, one is Nash, the other is leonard.It's normal that Leonard is currently chosen by Richard in the 13th place, which means there is only Nash.

Of course, there will be another top 15 player in the future, who happens to have played against Leonard.

That's right. It's the letter goto Kunbo

Fate is such a coincidence. In the history of NBA, the strongest two top 15 players even met in dongjue.

……

Richard wants the pelican's 17th pick in order to win the normal 20 th pick from nuggets.

This Fournier belongs to a tall type of point guard, 201 cm point guard, and has a certain ability to control the ball. He can play in position one.

although the defensive end is not awesome, the attack side is pretty good. A 17 clockwork is definitely a safe business.

Now Richard is waiting for the pelicans to give him a reply

Of course, what Richard requires is not only a 17 ranking draft right, Monroe is a top 10 player, but also a player who can fully afford his own draft right. How can Richard only have a 17 ranking draft right.

In addition to the 17 pick, Richard also wants the pelican's second pick in the second round.

But according to Richard's guess, maybe the pelican will let itself increase the price.

It's not a big problem. It's not a big deal that Richard added the draft rights of the second round brought by the Clippers to the deal.

At present, the clipper has only one endorsement in its hand. The number of the second 16 is in order. It's worth losing

……

"Monty, please reject Richard directly for this deal. Pay attention to the euphemism." Monty Williams waited half a day for such a reply.

"Mr. dunps, Monroe is good. If Richard is willing to come up with another round of signing, I don't think we will lose money on this deal?" He asked, a little puzzled.

In his opinion, the team's general manager, Dale dunps, refused Richard so much that he didn't even talk about it, which was really a little confusing.

"It's not a loss, but we can't make a deal with Richard. At least I don't think anyone in the West would like to make a deal with Richard, except for the warriors or the pioneers, two brother teams of Richard." Said dunps, frowning.

After listening, Monty Williams seemed to understand the meaning of the pelican president.

In the past, when Richard worked for people, the trade would have been traded, but now Richard completely owns the clipper. In the future, he will always be on the clipper.

The last draft conference, through a season, has proved that Richard has the pace to lead the Clippers to the throne.

In this case, the western team seems to have formed a tacit understanding, in any case, refused to trade Richard's draft right.

If Richard is given such a rise, the western team will be dark

Before Richard ran the pirate team, he played four consecutive titles in the East. If Richard didn't leave the pirate team, maybe the pirate team could keep this championship.

Now that he has come to the west, the Western teams are not willing to invest in the enemy in any way. It will be hard for Richard to build a team like the pirate team in the West.

……

"Well, Mr. dunps, I'll talk to Richard about it..." Said Monty Williams in pain.

In fact, he still wants Monroe as a player. The team must choose Anthony Davis as the top scorer to win the first prize.

Davis is playing power forward position, and Monroe this center just match up, so their pelican's inner line will have the opportunity to become the league's strongest inner line combination.

Monty Williams has seen Richard build all kinds of twin towers, and then connect with heaven and earth, so he also wants to try the double tower lineup.

But now dunps refused the deal without saying a word, which disappointed Monty.

However, even if he is disappointed, he can't disobey the meaning of the team's executives. This is definitely not something that a junior manager should do. In team building and trading, he doesn't even have a voice

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Richard."

"We are not interested in the inside players because we will choose Anthony Davis."

"I'm really sorry. If we have a chance in the future, we'll give priority to dealing with clippers."

Monti apologized to Richard politely

Richard didn't expect the pelican to refuse so simply, and didn't even give him room to bargain.

That's interesting. Richard thought Pelican would bargain with him, and finally he would go out and sign another round to get their draft rights

For a while, Richard frowned, feeling that he might not be so comfortable during the off-season.Pelican refused his offer and didn't even bargain. It must be weird!
