Bishop of the Devil

Chapter 429: Detroit Pistons

Genius remember this site's address for one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? "Go, Li, what are you waiting for?"

"There will be a plane returning to Washington in two hours, and I will immediately find someone to book a ticket for you!"

Jordan is really crazy...

Richard glanced oddly. He didn't know if he should add the fifth condition, that is, Jordan's team he would not go...

Actually speaking, joining the Wizards is indeed a pretty good choice, mainly because the Wizards won the top pick at this year's draw conference.

That is the top pick Jordan used to sign Kwame Brown.

If Richard joins the Wizards, he can get Paul Gasol or singles Joe if Jordan does not blend in the draft.

However, since Richard has already decided to take Yao Ming, it would not be too much to do much, and it would be a waste to sign with the top pick.

As for the selection of Joe Johnson, Richard also felt a little wasted.

Moreover, Jordan is still not sure whether it will be mixed with the draft, to know that this guy is absolutely keen on Kwame Brown.

Look at Kwame Brown than kiss his son...

This may also be the cut of love and hatred. Kwame Brown did not meet Jordan's requirements and made Jordan crazy.

If ordinary players, Jordan is not so harsh.

...

Speaking of these four conditions, many teams sighed, they are completely gone.

The originally hot Pat Riley still wanted to stay here to see if things changed.

But when Richard heard that he wanted to hold three positions concurrently, he suddenly rolled his eyes.

Is this guy a devil? He has done all three of his duties, so what is he doing? Go to be a court cleaner? !

Most team bosses and executives left with a sigh...

Mark Cuban's egg hurts a lot. He just bought the Mavericks. He must not be able to fire Old Nelson.

And their Mavericks are also Western teams, do not meet the conditions of the Eastern team...

In this case, Cuban can only leave in a sad mood.

In the end there were five teams left, the Washington Wizards, New Jersey Nets, Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons.

These five teams basically meet Richard's requirements, and now they are all praying, lucky to fall on their heads.

The Nets just fired Larry Brown a few days ago, not because of Richard, but because of the irreconcilable conflict between him and Marbury.

Marbury talked to management and either traded himself or fired Larry Brown to let management make a choice.

As a result, it is not difficult to guess, and the tragic Larry Brown is out of work again...

The unemployment this time is remarkable and may basically announce the complete end of Larry Brown's coaching career.

At least on the NBA side is completely over.

It's not that his coaching ability is not good, nor is it because he hasn't led the team to play any good results in recent years. The real reason for him to finish is his ability to deal with the players in the team.

Previously, the Pacers and Reggie Miller had trouble, but now they can't coexist with Marbury. Which team still dares to risk signing Larry Brown.

Not a super coach like Richard...

...

Washington Wizards, Richard's interest is not very big, then there are only four of these five teams.

"If you go back first, you will have five teams left to choose from!"

"I can't run again, I have to find a job in the league..."

Jordan and others immediately waved their hands and said no.

"We are waiting for you to make a decision in Portland. If it doesn't work today, then wait until tomorrow. Anyway, if you don't make a decision one day, we will not leave in one day!

Others have the same idea as Jordan. They came to take Richard back this time.

Once Richard has joined, they will get rid of the identity of the fish belly!

"Okay, you're free, I have to think carefully about this matter!"

"Before the end of tomorrow, I will give you a reply!"

Richard frowned.

He really has to think carefully about this matter. This is not a game for dinner. If you don’t choose a good one, Richard will be very passive.

...

After Jordan and others left, Richard was finally cleaned.

Sitting in the office, Richard frowned and began to think.

The Wizards were ruled out, leaving the Nets, Cavaliers, Eagles and Pistons four teams.

The Cavaliers team can basically be ruled out...

In order to get Harrington, they sent two first-round picks within the next three years, that is, the first-round picks in 01 and 03...

Although it will not affect Richard’s drawing of Yao Ming in 2002, the two-round first-round signing of Ping Bai’s opening is almost equal to the lack of two All-Star players. Richard is still quite unacceptable.

On the Eagle side, there is no problem with draft picks, but there is a fat tuo in his hand.

Richard can't stand it...

Fatty Tuo’s contract is still not young. This product seems to Richard to be a tumor. Seeing Tian’er’s newcomer teammates is not a good thing. In case the tragedy of Billups happened to Yao Ming, then Richard is There is no place to cry.

In the case of the Nets, there is actually such a problem. There is a cancer in the team, and the salary space of the Nets is locked up...

Both Marbury and Keith Van Horn’s top-pay contracts have years to complete, and Richard feels a little lost...

At first glance, it seems that the only thing suitable for Richard is the Pistons.

The situation is similar for several teams, but the Pistons have their own unique advantages.

The first is salary space, which is quite sufficient.

With Grant Hill being poached by the Magic, the Pistons' highest-paid player this season is just a five-million-year salary from Stark House.

Although Richard does not like Stackhouse very much, it does not mean that other teams do not like it.

With an average of 29.8 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game, such data is only 5 million annual salary. From the perspective of other teams, this is simply a sweet meal...

To know that this season just ended, Stark House ranked third in the scoring list, second only to Iverson and Kobe!

And Iverson and Kobe are both more than 10 million top-paid players, more than double the price of Starkhouse.

There are still some players with insufficient salary space and lack of guards who are eager to join Starhouse.

Starkhouse's transaction value is quite good, although the strength is not so good, but the data is there, and it is not expensive, it is easy to get good chips.

...

Outside of Starkhouse, the Pistons are now no longer a famous player.

Not to mention that, there is also Joe Smith who is famous, but now he is also the strength of everyone, playing a soy sauce with an annual salary of two million in the Pistons.

Other than that, it was a blank, blank than white paper...

This is right for Richard to show his fists!

The bottom of the Pistons is really poor, but it is precisely because of such a poor foundation that Richard's ability can really be reflected!

Moreover, the historical style of the Pistons team, Richard also quite like it.

There are bad boy Pistons in the east and Portland gangsters in the west.

The only thing that made Richard a little uncomfortable was that the Pistons had traded Grant Hill and Magic in exchange for a bunch of stinky tomatoes and bird eggs!

In exchange for an Atkins and Gion Clark!

In normal history, Hill exchanged Atkins and Big Ben, but the Magic is definitely not big, but they got the super center Clark who was "hand-picked" by Richard.

If he manages the deal on his own, Richard must be sure he doesn’t want any players, so he needs to be drafted.

In this way, this year's draft conference can still make a difference!

Right now the Pistons have only two draft picks, one is the 9th pick just drawn, and the other is the 37th overall pick in the second round.

A little awkward...

The No. 9 lottery says that it is not high, and it is not low, but it is a bit difficult to use.

On the 9th, I can't sign home sister and single Joe. It's a waste to sign Elvis. After all, Elvis was selected at the bottom of the first round...

So for this first round of signing, Richard estimated that he had to trade.

As for the second round of picks, under normal history, the Pistons got Memet-Oku. This choice is almost a pick-up.

Pinnacle Oku, who can also get 18+9 stats per game, and has a good three-point ability, not to consider his relatively mediocre defense, in fact, Oku is a pretty good player.

Even if the defense is mediocre, Oku is fierce enough on the defensive end...

It is a pity that under normal circumstances Larry Brown came to the Pistons and sold Okur directly to the Jazz.

Otherwise, the talent of the Pistons is really scary...

But if you think about it carefully, if Okur wasn’t sold, maybe he wouldn’t be able to play under Larry Brown.

...

Of course, in addition to the above reasons, the Pistons actually have a place to attract Richard.

That's the No. 3 pick in 2003...

In the Grizzlies and Pistons' trade on Thorpe in 1997, the Grizzlies agreed with the Pistons that in the next six years, that is, in the six-year draft of 98-03, the Grizzlies can give the Pistons any year. Eighth overall pick in second place.

It sounds more convoluted...

The general meaning is that the Grizzlies can take their 2-18 draft picks to the Pistons every year from 1998 to 2003. This is their bargaining chip for Thorpe.

It's roughly similar to a draft right protection...

It's just that their protection method is quite different, and it is not the same as the top three protection, top five protection and lotto protection of other teams.

As a result, the Grizzlies have a very high draft pick from the 98th year of the draft to the 01st of this year's draft. Even the first three years were all top picks...

This makes the Grizzlies reluctant to give the Pistons.

They want to be lucky, maybe next year will be the 15th pick or the 18th pick? In that case, it’s not a loss to the Pistons...

As a result, this hit was terrible, directly hitting 2003. Although it was the sixth position in 01 this year, but they have players they like, and they are also reluctant to send them out...

Wait until next year in 02, so will their fourth pick.

In 2003, they got the top spot again. This time the Grizzlies were dumbfounded.

In this way, the Pistons added a list of picks for no reason, and this luck is almost out of luck.

...

If history does not change, it is unlikely that it will change. The Grizzlies are still the largest fish belly in the west, making it difficult to turn over.

When Richard joined the Pistons, it was equal to the platinum generation in 2003, and he could get an eye chart without doing anything. This is simply a matter of beauty.

With so many favorable conditions, Richard is sorry for not going to the Pistons.

"It looks like the Pistons are the only choice!"

Richard made up his mind that his final choice would be the Detroit Pistons.

...

Early the next morning, Richard contacted the other four teams and told them of their decision. After all, it was not appropriate to always consume others.

When Jordan heard the news, the whole person was stupid...

Richard playing with himself? !

Say good to join the Wizards, suddenly change the guise to join the Pistons? !

If Richard knew Jordan thought this way, he would be quite innocent. When would he say he was going to the Wizards...

I didn’t think about the Wizards from the beginning, OK?

As for the three teams of the Nets, Eagles and Cavaliers, they can only secretly sigh, they are not the lucky team, there is no way.

They now envy the good luck of the Pistons...

That's Richard, they have every reason to believe that the Pistons will rise in a short time!

Even if the Pistons win the championship next season, they might not be too surprised...

...

The Pistons are also the boss of this time, William Bill Davidson.

The Pistons are a team with a long history. Davidson is not the first boss of the Pistons. The first boss is named Zorna. That is a boss that is even more crazy than Cuban and has done a lot of earth-shattering things. ...

For example, please referee to be the head coach of your team.

For example, take his girlfriend to sit on the team bench to watch the ball.

For example, the 24-year-old player in the destiny team serves as the head coach, player and coach, and has a unique history...

After Davidson took over the Pistons, because of his relatively introverted, low-key and stable personality, this may also affect the style of the Pistons.

In terms of assets, he is considered to be the most upstream among the NBA bosses, and his asset status is similar to that of Mark Cuban.

In addition to the Pistons, there are many other sports clubs.

...

Richard did not chat with Davidson, and agreed with him to meet Detroit half a month later.

At present, Richard is still preparing to finish the work of the Blazers first.

Not to mention, at least after he left, he must recommend a successor to the Blazers...

Richard recommended Zhang Weiping directly to Paul Allen.

Zhang Weiping has also been with the Blazers for many years. He also has a fairly good understanding of the status of the players in front of the Blazers.

In addition, his ability to deal with the relationship between the players is quite good, and playing with the players under his hands, whether it is big or small Olympics, all have a good impression of this humorous middle-aged man.

Paul Allen agreed without saying anything, and replaced with another coach, I am afraid he may not be at ease.

It is not uncommon to see the time for the championship team to collapse because of a general disagreement.

Now with Zhang Weiping, at least you don’t have to worry about the general’s discord...

As for the ability, Zhang Weiping's ability to adapt to changes is definitely not as good as Richard, but the lineup of Trail Blazers has been fixed, just follow the route defined by Richard and continue to walk.

Taken together, Zhang Weiping may be the best head coach.

Of course, Stevens is fine, but he is still too young. He is not as good as Zhang Weiping in dealing with some tricky things.

...

"I feel so uncomfortable, why did I suddenly become the head coach without any mental preparation..." Zhang Weiping sat in Richard's office, pouring water.

Richard was speechless, did Teacher Zhang get cheap and sell well? !

You should know that Paul Allen’s salary for Zhang Weiping is 3 million annual salary, which may be nothing compared to Richard’s annual salary, but it is also higher than the average coach.

There are still at least ten coaches in the league whose annual salary is around two million dollars!

"Teacher Zhang, would I tell Paul to let Stevens do this?" Richard asked with a chuckle.

"Oh, don't refer..."

"This kind of beauty is not a fool if I don't do it?" Zhang Weiping said with a laugh.

"You are going to Detroit in a few days, so what else do you have to say quickly..."

"To tell you the truth, I am a little bit clueless now, I really don't know what to do next." Zhang Weiping said again with a wry smile.

Richard nodded: "There is no difficult job, that is, a draft conference, and a off-season deal!"

"At the draft conference, I will provide you with two candidates. You can watch the selection yourself, one inside Zach Randolph, the other is point guard Tony Parker!"

"Both of them, with the draft picks of our Blazers, that would definitely not be possible..."

"But we still have the Cavaliers' first-round picks on hand, and choosing one should not be a problem."

"But don’t worry, it’s better to sell Nowitzki and Ginobili in exchange for more chips. What you want to change depends on how your head coach wants to build the lineup next. Now!"

Richard smiled and said his plan to ~www.readwn.com~ listening to Zhang Weiping stunned.

Good guy, before Richard left the team, he even thought about who the NBA draft pick was for the Blazers? !

Zhang Weiping immediately took a small book and recorded the names of Zakrandorf and Parker.

However, he is quite puzzled. Trading Nowitzki, he can understand. After all, Nowitzki has a contract for a year. If he does not trade, he will play like Kobe after finishing this season.

What the **** can trade Ginobili...

Shouldn't I trade another Lewis to contract year?

"What did the transaction Ginobili say?" Zhang Weiping asked curiously.

Richard can't really explain it to Zhang Weiping...

The reason why Ginobili can have such a strong offensive and defensive strength right now is because of the entanglement of Beverly!

When Richard goes to the Pistons next season, he will definitely change the bound players...

By that time Ginobili's defensive ability declined, it would be better to take advantage of his high transaction value and sell it first, in exchange for more chips for the team.

Anyway, if you sell early or sell late...

As for not selling Lewis, the main reason is that his trading value is not very high. Even if he changes it, he can't get too good chips. It is better to leave it for his own use, just to replace Nowitzki's position.

Richard waved his hand and was not prepared to answer Zhang Weiping's question about Ginobili.

Lu Zi himself has already defined the Blazers...

In fact, Richard did not need to name Zac Randolph and Parker.

The main reason is that Richard was guilty of the Blazers, and now he wants to make up for the Blazers.

If the Trail Blazers do not follow their own path, then Richard cannot do anything.

Do everything you need to do, and it is enough to be conscientious!
