Bishop of the Devil

After the Bucks management finished the meeting, naturally other senior executives agreed.

After all, for the Bucks, this is really beneficial and harmless.

Anyway, the record is already so bad, it is better to help the pirates, and you may finally get some benefits.

Stotts told Richard this good news. Richards breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Bucks may not necessarily get the top two picks, but as long as they are crazy, they will always have a big chance. After all, there is a 46.5% chance to get the top two picks.

...

In the next Bucks game, Richard watched the live broadcast. From the situation on the field, it can be seen that the Bucks are really thoroughly sloppy, and the opponent is the well-known fish belly Knicks. He also lost 19 points.

...

Richard now has some troubles. If the Bucks really get the top two picks, how should they choose?

Because now Durant joins Purdue University, Richard also does not know whether Oden will still be the top pick.

However, this possibility is still quite large, as long as Oden can play excellent data, even if he did not lead the team to win the championship, his draft prospects may be better than Durant.

No way, who made Oden a big insider, plus the comments of the gods and gods in the media, it is not impossible for him to overwhelm Durant as the champion.

If the Bucks draw Richard to the No. 1 pick, then when Oden is drafted away, Richard can only choose Durant.

If the Bucks won the top pick, Richard felt he might be more inclined to win Oden.

Although Durant is strong, what the Pirates currently lack in the lineup is a traditional insider who can hold the court.

Richard didn't like playing fast-break tactics too much. Although he used fast-break tactics from time to time, the basic tactics of the three teams he built were all half-court positions.

Half-time position tactics, no one can hold the traditional inside line, that is definitely not good.

Richard needs a super traditional insider like O'Neal, Duncan or Yao Ming to fight.

Although Oden didn't fulfill his talent, but there was no talent in it, Richard was still quite optimistic about Oden.

The key Oden player is low-key enough, not the kind of screaming player, his character Richard is also quite appreciated.

...

If the Bucks didn't get the top two picks, there was Mark Gasol in that round, which was Richard's backup plan.

Gasol Jr.'s defense is good enough, and his organizational ability is also good, but in Richard's opinion, it is just a little bit meaningless, lacking the kind of dominance that can be finalized.

If Oden was not available, Richard could only use Little Gasol in desperation.

...

At present, the Pirates have four picks in the 2007 draft. The two picks that come with them needless to say, and they are definitely not high in picks.

In addition to the Bucks' first-round pick, Richard also has a 76ers' second-round pick.

The 76ers are not as good as one year now. This season they have a winning percentage of just over 40% and may not even make it to the playoffs.

Their second-round pick should be good enough for Richard to sign a favorite player.

...

Just as the regular season was in full swing, a shocking deal broke out in the league.

Philadelphia 76ers reach Denver Nuggets deal, 76ers send Iverson away, get Andre Miller from Nuggets, Joe Smith with only $7 million a year left, plus two future first-round draft picks .

This transaction is exactly the same as Richard's well-known transaction, except that the time will be delayed.

Normally, Iverson was formally traded to the Nuggets this season, after fifteen games in the 0607 season.

And now this time point has been pushed back a month.

...

This transaction is considered a win-win transaction for the insiders of the alliance, but it is a win-win for Richard.

The Philadelphia 76ers have a bad record right now, but after they finish the deal, the record is still the same. It is better to keep Iverson and at least attract some fans to watch the game.

Last season, Iverson played the best performance of his career, scoring a horror score of 33 points per game. If Kobe is too violent, Iverson will be able to get the scoring king last season.

This season, Iverson's current two-month schedule is also averaging 31.5 points per game, and the offensive firepower is quite fierce.

In the eyes of Richard, anyway, the 76ers did not make a profit, unless their two first-round picks could draw decent players.

As for the Nuggets, they didn't make any money at all. At the cost of the first round of the playoffs for two years, they later exchanged Iverson for Billups and finally touched the floor of the Western Conference.

Richard was not surprised by the transaction. He was surprised that Iverson didn't even talk to himself.

But it's normal to think about it. Iverson's arrogant nature, he was traded, he must be ashamed to tell Richard.

Richard sighed and called Iverson.

"Allen, in fact, you should tell me about this. Our pirates can provide some chips and may cut the Nuggets."

Richard did have a plan to trade Iverson, but not this season...

Originally, when he started fifteen games, he saw nothing about the Philadelphia 76ers, thinking that Iverson would stay with the 76ers this season.

As a result, this transaction happened this season.

"Coach, no need, I'm not Brent. It's not time to hug your thigh."

"Brent is old. I'm still young. I want to fight for a few more years to see if I can win a championship on my own." Iverson said with a wry smile.

In fact, Iverson thought more than that. He knew that if Richard had to cut the Nuggets, the Pirates would have to pay a very heavy price, which would even affect the Nuggets' playoff journey this year.

The first is that the Pirates have no shortage of one position at all. Iverson must have been paying attention to Richard's game, knowing the strength of the Pirates one lineup.

Both Paul and Rondo, although young, are already showing first-class traditional point guard strength.

Even the arrogant character of Iverson asked himself, his organizational ability and defensive ability are not as good as these two new melons.

If I entered the Pirates, what would happen to these two new melon eggs? They can’t be allowed to play the bench, and it’s even more impossible for them to play the bench...

Secondly, the 76ers' asking price is too high. Iverson also negotiated privately with the Philadelphia 76ers. If they apply for a deal with the Pirates, what chips do they need to pay.

As a result, the 76-man management gave two proposals.

The first option, Milicic plus Valejo...

The second option is Iguodala plus Valejo plus a first round pick.

This made Iverson completely cut off the idea of ​​joining the Pirates, because if the Pirates really want to pay for such chips, the lineup is completely disbanded.

Regardless of the trading scheme, the strength of the Pirates will be lost.

The main reason is that Iverson cannot play the second position, he can only play the first position.

If he plays the second position, his height disadvantage and defensive disadvantage will be expanded indefinitely.

As a result, Iverson directly informed the team's executives that he had contacted Richard in private, and Richard did not agree to these two trading plans.

...

Richard himself also wondered why the Philadelphia 76ers wanted to trade Iverson~www.readwn.com~Why didn't you find yourself to talk about the deal first, they should be very clear about their relationship with Iverson.

If Richard knew this, he would have no doubt.

Iverson didn't mention this to Richard. He didn't want to make Richard difficult.

Iverson is still looking forward to joining the Nuggets. The Nuggets' lineup is pretty good, at least a lot better than the 76ers.

This may make him more capital to impact the championship.

"Coach, do you think my trip to the Nuggets will be successful?" Iverson wondered what Richard thought about the deal.

"Unclear, no one knows what will happen in the future, work hard, old man." Richard also did not have the heart to tell Iverson the truth, this is too shocking.

The Spurs and the Sun were strong, and the Lakers were rising suddenly. The West is now starting the **** mode. Iverson is definitely not a good time to join the West.

If Iverson joined the Western team at a weak point in the Western Conference two years ago, it might have a good playoff record.

"By the way, Alan, what are the 76ers thinking now, are they ready to straighten up the big Zhi?" Richard quickly changed the subject and did not want to continue talking about the prospects of the Nuggets.

"As far as I know, it doesn't seem to be that the 76ers' management may be preparing for a complete rebuild in the last one or two seasons, and Da Zhi may be put on the shelves next year." Iverson said with a wry smile.

I thought about how the Philadelphia Gemini shined, and he had killed Jordan's bull in the playoffs.

But times have changed, and now the Gemini has gradually dimmed, even to the point where the team put it on the shelf.

Thinking of this, Iverson sighed heavily. If he had the luck of Big Ben, then I am afraid that he already has several championship rings in his hand?
