Bishop of the Devil

They had the 29th overall pick, and if he wanted to pick himself, the goal was to pick a backcourt player, preferably a defensive player.

Now Richard is saying that he sent a spree, and Adelman was not happy because he was not happy.

The King's starting lineup last season was really gorgeous...

Center Divac, power forward Webber, small forward Peja, guard Doug Christie, point guard Bibby.

With the exception of Christie, the other four players are all quite well-known players in NBA history.

And this Christie is not an unknown player, selected for the best defensive lineup several times.

With such a lineup, it is not surprising that the King's record is outstanding...

But with the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals, it made Adelman aware of the team's lack of defense on the bench.

They have powerful players like Tekoglu on the bench, but the problem is that Tekoglu's defense is not good.

If Richard mixed a small forward of the defensive engineer type with Turkoglu, plus a Bobby Jackson, then the King's bench lineup would also become powerful.

This is why Adelman is so excited...

He felt it was a good thing to drop a pie in the sky!

In fact, this is indeed a pie in the sky, the candidate given by Richard is not someone else, it is Matt Barnes.

Barnes, this player, Richard must not be too eye-catching.

The main thing is that there are no special features. Although everything can be done, nothing is outstanding...

There is a basket, but the stability of the basket is not high, there is a defense, but the defensive effect is certainly not as good as that of Gerrard and Lagabell.

So Richard was not very interested in Matt Barnes, and simply took it out and gave it to Adelman.

But Richard does not look down, does not mean that Barnes is not easy to use, if playing the bench position, Barnes is actually quite easy to use.

At least for the king, they really earned this wave.

...

Almost finalizing the deal with the King, Richard settled down.

This 29th pick in the first round must have been used to take Boozer.

As for another favorite Prince, Richard is still trying to find a way...

Although Prince's draft pick will not be too high, Richard is not afraid to take risks. He must still look up as much as possible to see if he can find a 15th pick.

In case of a 20th overall pick, and Prince was cut off, Richard would cry and there was no place to cry.

Because in the event that Prince is cut off, the only pick in Richard's 20th pick is Scola.

Right now the Pistons are not short of inside players...

Yao Ming, Boozer, Clark, Okur and Birdman Anderson, the five inside players are absolutely right enough.

It doesn’t make much sense to choose Scola again.

Moreover, if Scola entered the league, it was a lot of trouble, and Richard was too lazy to go to work on it.

The thing that tinkered with Yao Ming was already making Richard dizzy...

Of course, in addition to Scola, Gazuric in the second round of the show is also okay, of course, it can only be considered okay.

But this is also an insider, and it is still a pure blue-collar insider. Richard's interest is also not great.

...

Richard first aimed the deal at the Rockets.

The Rockets have two first-round picks this year, one is the third round of the first round, and the other is the fifteenth round of the first round.

The first-round picks of the 15th pick are their inventory, and Richard is now eyeing the first-round picks of their 15th pick.

Tang Shuai of the Rockets did not have any intersection with Richard, but in the face of Richard's transaction application, Tang Shuai still patiently connected Richard's phone.

Richard wanted to exchange the team's old Pistons Chris Williams for the Rockets' 15th overall pick.

In the season just ended, Chris was raised by Richard.

Last season, that is, the 00-01 season, when Richard had not joined the Pistons, Chris can average 15.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.

In this season, Richards coached, Chris's data has risen a bit, reaching 17.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals, the data really can not pick out any problems.

Both offense and defense and rebounding are pretty good.

Originally, Chris's strength was good. From Richard's point of view, it was enough to stay and use it.

For players with such data, for a 15th overall pick, the Rockets are really not losing money, and even made a lot of cheap.

But Corris’s contract has only the last two years left, which makes Tang Shuai a little tangled...

He also knows that this transaction is not a loss, but he knows better, I am afraid that Richard will make a bigger bargain in this transaction.

Richard is so anxious to get the first round of signing, the purpose is self-evident, it must be a player with a favorite.

Perhaps this election is to select an All-Star player, with the Rockets in the first round of the 15th pick to select an All-Star.

...

"Rudy, my old man, in fact, you should know better than me. This deal is more favorable for the Rockets!" Richard said to Tang Shuai quite enthusiastically, and he called the old iron.

Tang Shuai was speechless for a long while. How could he become Richard's old fellow?

"Lee, let me think about it again. After all, I am only the team's head coach. I can't do this alone!"

After all, Tang Shuai is about to hang up.

Richard looked at this posture and immediately spoke.

"Old man, wait for me to finish, and if this deal is concluded, I will send you a super insider!" In order to facilitate the transaction, Richard is also a capital.

He said that this super insider is naturally no one else. This draft can be called a super insider, in fact, Yao Ming and Stoudemire.

Yao Ming can't give it, even if it does, the Rockets can't get it...

That could only be Stoudemire.

Some fans may have misunderstood Stoudemire, thinking that Stoudemire grew up on Nash.

In fact, this kind of view is biased and obliterates Stoudemire's own strength.

Stoudemire is not a kind of inside player who has to rely on a cake to eat. His athletic ability and impact ability are quite powerful. Just relying on this strong physical quality, he will never mix too bad.

Moreover, when Stoudemire got the best rookie of the 02th season, he hadn’t mixed up with Nash...

Next season, the Suns lineup includes Marbury, Marion, Penny Hardaway and singles Joe.

All of them need to consume the ball...

Even in this case, Stoudemire can still get 13.5 points and 8.8 rebounds.

Perhaps domestic fans are somewhat dissatisfied with Stoudemire's best rookie this year, but if they do not accept it, Stoudemire's overall performance is really better than Yao Ming.

Of course, it's just a glance, not even worth it.

Before Nash joined the Suns, Stoudemire had an average of 20 points per game.

Later, when Nash came to the sun, Stoudemire's data soared to 26 points...

It seems that it has a lot to do with Nash, but the relationship is not particularly big. You must know that when Stoudemire went to the Knicks, the first season also played a level of 25+.

On the offensive level, to be honest, Stoudemire's offensive level is no worse than Yao Ming.

Of course, now Richard is coaching Yao Ming and letting Stoudemire get the best rookie is surely not going to happen.

Even the two can't be compared together anymore, because Yao Ming's starting point is destined to be too much higher than Stoudemire...

Perhaps the target of Yao Ming's rookie season is not the same as Stoudemire, but the super insiders who have achieved success, such as O'Neal, such as Duncan.

...

Now Richard takes out Stoudemire to prepare as an invisible bargaining chip with the Rockets. If there is no idea of ​​compensating for the Rockets, it is definitely impossible.

Richard won the No. 1 pick this year, which was actually a robbery of the Rockets.

Of course, the Rockets certainly don't know about this. They are actually quite satisfied with getting the flower pick.

Now it was time to make a deal with the Rockets, and then revealed Stoudemire to the Rockets, let the Rockets take down...

Can be considered to make up for the loss of the Rockets.

To say that Richard was kind-hearted and went to give the Rocket warmth, it wouldn’t be too...

The main reason is that Richard feels that Stoudemire is a threat, in case he is selected by the Sun again, and if Nash leaves the team from the Pistons, he joins the Sun again...

Now Stoudemire is split into the Rockets. These super teams can dismantle one or the other, which saves them trouble.

...

Upon hearing Richard's words, Tang Shuai suddenly became interested.

How could it not be interesting, since they dreamed and left, they all wanted to bring in a super center to rebuild.

Tang Shuai is a very traditional coach, let him build the team with Francis as the absolute core cornerstone, then he is definitely not happy.

Although Francis is almost enjoying the cornerstone treatment right now, it is only because the Rockets have no reliable inside cornerstone.

Once there is a solid cornerstone, Francis' position within the team will immediately decline.

...

"Are you serious? Li?" Tang Shuai asked with a shock in his voice.

Because if this is true, the Rockets are equivalent to picking up big bargains.

Although Tang Shuai has little intersection with Richard, he is also quite convinced of Richard's selection ability.

In fact, no one would doubt Richard's eyesight. This is what Richard has proved for eight years.

"Naturally is true, an inside player who has at least 25+ scoring performance in the peak period!" Richard said very confidently.

Tang Shuai was shocked, and the hand holding the phone was already shaking a little.

At least have 25+ scoring performance inside? What a terrible offensive strength this is.

"Lee, if you have such a strong inside player, why don't you?" Tang Shuai doubted...

Such a powerful insider, Richard will be so kind to give himself?

If you have a deep relationship, you can understand...

But the problem now is that he and Richard have no real friendship~www.readwn.com~Now Richard takes the initiative to send warmth, which makes him have some doubts in his heart.

"Because we already have Yao Ming, there are enough inside players, and no more can't be trained!"

...

After the two people hung up, Tang Shuai couldn't calm down for a long time.

He felt that this risk could be taken.

To be precise, it's actually not a risk. The Rockets have a 15th overall pick, and a change to Chris is a bit of a profit. Now Richard can provide such news.

Even if the news is false, the Rockets will not lose...

If the news is true, it happens that there is a flower pick in the hands of the Rockets. Take the insider mentioned by Richard and the Rockets are expected to rise!

...

After a deal with the Rockets, Richard was relieved, and the draft rights needed to be prepared for the next draft are ready.

The Pistons' top pick, the 15th overall pick from the Rockets, and the 29th overall pick from the Kings.

With three first-round draft picks, Richard is going to play a big game this year. Yao Ming and Boozer plus a Prince is definitely a good harvest.
