Bishop of the Devil

The death of old Davidson has made Richard quite dull these days.

After returning to Charlotte, he called Paul Allen again and told him to always pay attention to his body.

Just a few days later, the Pirates had an away game against the Blazers. Richard took Tijana and his three sons to Portland to see Paul Allen.

"God, I haven't seen it in a few months. Is this kid bit tall again?!" Paul Allen couldn't help but wonder when he saw Li Bit.

At present, Li Bit is less than four years old, and his height has reached one meter three, which is quite scary. No one looks like a four-year-old child.

Normal four-year-old children are less than 110 cm tall, and most children may be less than one meter three when they are eight years old.

And Li Bit is less than four years old, and his height is directly comparable to that of an eight-year-old child. Paul Allen couldn’t help but pull Richard to whisper and asked: "Is it sure that it is not giant disease? Lee, you must pay attention to this matter point."

Richard waved his hand, "No, sure and sure, no, you can rest assured, can I not care about my children."

"Just care if you care, don't you really want to say, this kid is really as human as his name, it's as strong as a Pitbull."

"No, it's not a Pitbull, Pitbull doesn't have such a big chunk."

"Caucasus? No, the Kangaroo is more suitable."

Paul Allen sucked his lips and said.

He said that the Kangaroo dog is known as the world's largest dog breed. If raised properly, the shoulder height can reach more than 90 centimeters, and the weight can reach terror 200 pounds. It is quite powerful and majestic. It is a national treasure of Turkey. The status of the Chinese giant panda.

Really don’t say, Paul Allen’s metaphor is still a bit reliable. At present, all three children have already entered the early education class. The deterrent effect of this kind of head in the class can be imagined. No child dares to be within three meters. Close up...

But Richard, who is a dad and listens to others likening his son to a dog, is definitely quite speechless.

Richard rolled his eyes, "Paul, Li Bit's name has nothing to do with the dog, this is the name of the wine!"

...

That night, a group of people gathered for a meal, and all three children liked Paul Allen.

It’s mainly because Paul Allen is too generous. Every time he sees a child, he gives a toy to the car...

This time was no exception. A Ford Raptor pickup truck was filled with toys, and the three children were spoiled.

Seeing this scene, Richard couldn't help but sigh, it's good to have money...

After eating, Richard followed Paul into the study, lit a cigar, and the two had a drink.

"Lee, we are now putting Jermaine on the shelf. There are a lot of interested teams. You help us. Staff, which player should you introduce." Paul Allen talked about the matter.

He and Richard have already agreed, and after this season, Oden and Durant will be exchanged.

So there is no need for the Blazers to keep O'Neal right now. Taking advantage of O'Neal's immediate injury and coming back to a good time, trade O'Neal in exchange for an outside star to replace Durant's departure.

"Which teams have quotations, let me see." Richard is also very interested.

Paul Allen found a form in the drawer, which seemed to have been prepared.

Richard saw the form and wrote Nets Carter on the first line...

The Nets have acted big enough in recent days. After watching Yi Jianlian rise, they changed their coaches quite decisively. Then they learned that the Blazers were going to sell Xiaoao and immediately prepared to use Carter to trade Xiaoao.

The trading net also knows that there are risks, because Xiao Ao's current physical condition is unstable, and he will be injured from time to time. Perhaps he will be hit hard one day, and his strength will drop sharply.

After all, Xiao Ou is also a veteran who has played in the league for more than ten seasons.

But even if there is a risk, the Nets management is still willing to bear the risk.

If Carter is left, Carter is also a veteran. Who can guarantee that Carter's state can be maintained forever?

Looking at Carter's competitive state in recent years, it has actually fallen quite sharply.

If you get Xiaoao, if Xiaoao keeps in good health, they can form a double-tower lineup with Yi Jianlian, even if they are not the opponents of the Pirates, but they can also try to break the wrist with the Pistons or Green Kai.

Most of the teams on the eastern side have recognized the reality, that is, if Richard does not leave the Pirates, the Pirates will be a mountain that can never be surpassed on all the eastern teams!

Since it can't be overrun, let's just ignore the Pirates. When the Pirates are the air, go against the Pistons and Green Kai.

The Nets are clearly such a plan.

"Don't think about Carter, he is now in a very bad state of decline, far from making up for Durant's lack of firepower after leaving the team." Richard directly crossed the Nets option.

It is not to say that Richard has any opinion on Carter, but that Carter is really old now. The age issue is the most important issue that athletes cannot ignore. Even if Richard admires Carter very much, he has to seek truth from facts.

The next option made Richard smile bitterly, Rocket McGrady.

The era of the four quarterbacks is about to pass. This is the most intuitive feeling this list gives Richard.

That is the Pistons that Iverson now joins. There is Yao Ming in the team. You don't need Xiaoao. Otherwise, Iverson's name may appear on this list.

It's really possible to think about it, and the possibility that the Nuggets will trade Iverson with Iverson is quite large.

Only one Kobe Bryant can survive now and continue to maintain a good state and status.

"The Rockets don't have to think about it anymore. Tracy's reimbursement this season basically basically declared that his career is coming to an end. Even if it is used for the Trail Blazers, it will have little effect." Richard sighed. Said.

Paul Allen was stunned, which was a bit embarrassing. After they got this list of quotations, they had a meeting and the goal was either Carter or McGrady.

After all, these two are the top attackers in the league, just to make up for Durant's lack of offensive firepower after leaving the team.

But now it's all right. The two of them who had been selected for one night were directly ruled out by Richard.

Richard also read the list of the following people, there is nothing particularly suitable.

Tyreke Evans, Antoine Jamison, Caron Butler...

Even Richard also saw the Warriors' Martial Saint Jackson.

"Paul, there are no particularly suitable players on this list. I really want to say the right thing. The Warriors Jackson is an option to consider, but you should not have too much illusions about this deal, because you don’t know Jackson’s status. How long can it last."

"May be two or three years, or maybe only one year..."

Paul Allen sighed when he heard Richard’s words, which really upset him.

It would be nice if both Oden and Durant stayed...

"Stop, don't even think about it." Richard waved directly, because he saw Paul Allen's eyes shining brightly.

The old man's eyes were shining, it must have been a good thing.

...

Paul Allen coughed up, his son-in-law is really not easy to fool, he hasn't been able to talk about this...

"What should I do now, Li, you can help me solve this matter. If it can't be solved, I will ask for Oden and I will stay for Durant."

The old man began to play shamelessly...

Richard scratched his head, it was really a headache, the old man was shameless, what can he do...

"There is one way, but you have to clear the salary space."

"Granger's contract expires after the end of this season, but you can sign him."

"Clean up salary space?" Paul Allen frowned.

The Blazers don't have much salary space right now, at least not enough to sign a new maximum salary contract.

The reason why they traded Xiaoao is because Xiaoaodan exchanged an outside star with the highest salary level, which will not increase the pressure on their salary space.

But if Granger is a single sign, the salary space pressure is too great.

Paul Allen is rich, but money is not everything in the league.

"It's hard, Lee, it's impossible to think about where we can make 15 million dollars in salary." Paul Allen said with a sigh.

The salary of the trailblazers is now far beyond the luxury line, and more than 15 million US dollars is simply unimaginable.

...

"It's not as good as this. After this season, Granger will sign and change. We will give Jermaine to you, and then you will give us Granger?" Paul Allen's eyes lighted up again.

Richard is speechless, he is a business elite in the end, it is simply pitted without blinking.

Granger was very strong, and Paul Allen was extremely convinced.

He is not a basketball layman, and even if it is a layman, there are a group of professionals under his hands. It is easy to see how a player really is.

In Paul Allen's view, Granger can definitely make up for Durant's position, and may even do better than Durant!

This view~www.readwn.com~ is actually not wrong...

Under normal circumstances, the 08-09 Granger averaged 25.8 points per game, already one of the top small forwards in the league.

In the same season, Durant averaged only 25.3 points per game, not as good as Granger's.

Not only did he score less than Granger, but in terms of defensive efficiency, Durant couldn't compare with Granger.

In the first two years of his career, Durant's defensive efficiency is still quite bad, after all, the lean body is placed there.

...

That is to say, the Pirates have scored too many points, which caused Granger to fail to play such amazing data as normal.

But even if the data is not as good as normal, Granger’s strength will certainly not be worse than normal. Now Granger is a member of the league’s top small forward and can perfectly replace Durant’s role in the Blazers. position.
