After being rejected by pelicans, Richard contacted Grizzlies, nuggets and other Western teams, which made his brow wrinkled.
These teams didn't even bargain with Richard, as if they had a tacit understanding. They told Richard politely that they didn't need the inside line
In this case, if Richard wants to trade with the western team, he may have to go to golden dragon or Paul Allen.
However, Richard doesn't want these two teams to take Monroe. The ceiling of Monroe is not high in the future. Although the two teams will not lose money, they will certainly not earn money.
To Richard's surprise, the 76ers in Philadelphia contacted Richard at this time and wanted to make a deal with Richard about Monroe.
It's just that the 76ers are not trading their first round signings. Instead, they plan to trade Monroe with Nikolay vuchevic, their first 16 pick in 11 years, plus a second 14 pick
In the eyes of future generations, if Richard agreed to the deal, he would surely be in the end.
Wucherwich rookie season performance is quite awkward, in Philadelphia 76 people are basically abandoned, 5.5 points 4.8 rebounds per game data into
Under normal circumstances, the 76ers are out of the rookie season just played by vucevic to magic and other three teams to do a four-way deal.
Vucevic joined the magic, while Howard, the original core of the magic team, joined the Lakers.
The deal is a turning point in Howard's career. Before that, he was one of the few super centers in the league. After the Lakers, later joined the Rockets, and later the Rangers League, Howard's position in the League fell sharply.
In contrast to Howard, vucevic in the deal actually played directly in the magic, and became the magic's leader a few years later.
Now the Lakers are playing in the playoffs, where can I spare time to think about the Howard deal, so the four-way deal at least hasn't started yet, 76 people heard that Richard had the intention to sell Monroe, immediately contacted Richard.
Monroe's potential looks pretty good, at least more than vucevic's
In principle, there is no reason to refuse the deal. Vucevic, who was later the head of magic, can also lead the team into the playoffs. Although the playoffs were cruelly abused by Leonard's teammate Ibaka, the value aspect must be far higher than Monroe.
What's more, they also bring a second round
But Richard finally thought about it. He still didn't agree to the 76 man deal. He still wanted more draft rights.
Vuchevic is good, but Richard always feels that the player is almost mean, and indeed a good star, but he is not a winner. Once he is targeted by the opponent in some important games, he will be withered immediately.
That is to say, vucevic is not a player who is good at fighting hard in Richard's view
In the 12th draft, however, there are a few players that Richard likes. They are good at fighting hard. In Richard's opinion, they are better than vuchevic.
So Richard is more inclined to trade Monroe for draft rights than vuchevic, who can only play downwind.
……
"Frank, actually I prefer draft rights."
"Vucevic's strength is actually good. I'm not telling you that his value is actually greater than Monroe's. you can use it for your own use and give him more performance opportunities. I believe his performance will give you a surprise." Richard said to Lawrence Frank, the current head coach of the 76ers.
Laurence Frank used to coach the nets, but the nets got stuck in the deal with green Kay, which now leads to depression. Frank left the nets in a rage and came to Philadelphia to coach.
Frank is absolutely Richard's direct coach. Richard naturally wants to make his life easier. He tells him something about vucevic and asks him to give him a little patience.
Frank was stunned. He just took over the 76ers. He didn't really care about vucevic, who looks like a weak chicken inside player
But now that Richard has said the player has potential, Frank can't ignore it.
"OK, Li, I'll give this kid more time to play."
"If you don't say this kid is good, seriously, even if we don't sell it to you, we will seek other deals to sell it..." Frank said with a smile.
"If you sell it, you will lose. He will be a 20 + 10 player with three points. You should know what it means."
At this point, Frank's eyes are going to pop out, 20 + 10? And three points? God, this is a big baby
……
After rejecting 76 people's trade application, Richard contacted several teams with poor performance in the East. As a result, Richard suffered a lot and no one was willing to sell himself draft rights.This made Richard a little uncomfortable
He crossed over in 1994 and entered the alliance in mid-1996. Now it's mid-2012. In 16 years, Richard has never encountered such a difficult situation in the transaction.
At present, Richard analyzed the situation. There may be two reasons.
The first reason may be that Monroe is not attractive enough. The second reason may be that the teams are afraid of Richard's rise
At present, if Richard wants to trade Monroe for draft rights, he will have to lower his expectation and make some loss business.
In the face of absolute interests, there must be some people who can't bear to trade with Richard.
The Western Conference finals are in full swing. In the fierce battle between the Spurs and the Lakers, Richard made a direct announcement.
They want to take Monroe plus their own 16 seat round, in exchange for a first round bottom plus a second round ahead of the draft, any team can!
Generally speaking, if the team wants to make a deal, it is mostly furtive. It will never make such a big announcement as Richard's, and it will also disclose the chips it wants.
Because the team always wants to maximize the profits in the transaction, and directly disclose the chips they want, which means that they have disclosed their bottom line. If this kind of unwise action is done, it is estimated that the team's executives will have to fire the boss the next day.
This time, Richard obviously did another astonishing thing.
But even so, Richard felt that he had done the right thing.
First of all, I don't want much chips. I'm totally making money at a loss. I can get the draft right of Monroe and the middle of the second round just by taking the bottom of the first round plus a second round draw. This deal is actually quite attractive.
Because the draft right at the bottom of the first round, to get a new player of Monroe's level is undoubtedly a dream!
It's better to use this draft right for Monroe than to win luck. At least you can get a starting level inside line.
Even if you don't start and let Monroe play as a substitute, you can also greatly improve the depth of the team's inner line.
Secondly, Richard is so open. He just wants to stimulate the trading enthusiasm of all teams. First come, first serve. Richard's chips are not a big deal. If we gather a little bit, we can definitely do it
No one is willing to yield to others for this kind of business.
……
Sure enough, Richard just released the news in the morning at the press conference. In the afternoon, several teams immediately contacted the clippers and wanted to make a deal.
What makes Richard speechless is that there are spurs in it
Let alone, the Spurs really have the chips to satisfy Richard at the moment. They have the draft right to be the bottom in the first round.
As for the second round of signing, they get a second round of signing through trading. What's the difficulty
Popovich's idea, Richard is also very clear, with a relatively low chip, for the gradually aging Duncan to find a substitute, Monroe this strength of players to play the substitute, is not Meizizi?
Even though the Spurs are in the west, they are still following the trend of the free market, looking for some high cost-effective trading possibilities.
The Spurs don't have to and don't have that chip to make big deals, but they're still very interested in this kind of small business.
Richard naturally refused the Spurs without saying a word. Popovich cut himself off at the last draft conference. This time, Monroe must not give it to the Spurs.
Richard has always regarded the Spurs as his biggest opponent in the West in the next few years. How could he sell Monroe to the Spurs? Isn't that worrying?
The devil knows if Monroe will make some wonderful changes under Popovich's training, such as directly incarnating the player of Aldridge's level
Let's not say that Monroe might rise if he gave the spurs a chance because of his three-point practice and some CIC backing.
Even if the possibility of rising is only 10%, Richard can't tolerate this kind of thing
After the Spurs, the Lakers also submitted a deal application, they can also find the chips Richard wants.
Big Ben is determined to leave the team at the end of this season, and they naturally need to supplement their position in the center.
Monroe is undoubtedly a good choice, mainly cheap, but also with rookie contract price for two years
As for Bryant, who is 36 two years later, the Lakers are expected to start rebuilding.
However, the Lakers' trade application, Richard also refused, there is no other reason, is not to sell to the Lakers.
……
Several powerful teams in the East have also applied for a deal, all willing to trade Monroe with their first round draft right.
Since Richard left, the pirates haven't got any decent players in the draft. Jordan can't get any reliable playersEvery time Jordan is chosen, he has all kinds of assurance, but every time it makes him sad.
If we continue to do so, the pirates will start to sink, and it is difficult to maintain such dominance.
So they can only trade draft rights
Not only the pirates, but also the heat. They have all three giants.
Because the three giants occupy a large amount of salary space, players in other positions can't naturally have the level of star level. Now if they get Monroe, they can greatly enhance the strength of position five, which is quite attractive to them.
There are also pistons, who are also interested in Monroe.
In fact, they had the idea of contacting Richard before, but they didn't have a good intention to speak, mainly because they didn't think that the chips they had at hand could move Richard.
But now Richard's price is so low, as long as they are not stupid, they will not miss this opportunity.
In the past two years, Yao Ming has had some injuries from time to time. Although they are all harmless injuries, he can come back after two or three weeks' rest, but it also sends a signal that Yao Ming's body is going downhill.
At present, the only thing the pistons can do is to reduce Yao Ming's playing time as much as possible in the regular season, so they need to find a reliable substitute for Yao Ming. Monroe is undoubtedly a good candidate.
Yao Ming is only two years younger than Kobe Bryant, and now he is 32. No one can say when he can keep the current competitive state.
Maybe there will be a significant decline next year, or another three years
But in any case, when Yao is 35, it will definitely start to decline. There is no doubt about that.
So the piston can't sit down at the moment, and it's mixed in.
At present, it depends on Richard's decision. No one knows which team Richard will ultimately choose as the target of this trade.
