Bishop of the Devil

　　Richard and Larry Bird made a phone call, and he asked McHale from him to call him directly.

　　 McHale is still very happy. In fact, he doesn't really like the job of TV commentator. He still wants to return to the NBA.

　　The Clippers are now a waste of time, which is a good opportunity to show their talents.

　　 And Richard likes the inside, this is a well-known thing, McHale feels that he can certainly play an important role in the Clippers.

　　 The decision to join was finalized on the phone. Richard De was relieved. The Long March took the first step. The reconstruction of the Clippers was a good start.

　　With the inside coach, Richard naturally starts to look for a shooting coach.

　　With the advent of the small ball era, the shooting coach actually plays a big role in the team.

　　In fact, the old Curry is the best candidate. Over the past ten years, the old Curry can be said to be conscientious, helping the newcomers under Richard to develop a very good shooting ability.

　　Now that old Curry is staying with the Pirates, Richard can only do nothing. After all, if his son is in Charlotte, if he invites the old Curry, he can certainly agree, but it will always be difficult...

　　 Just when Richard was worried about the selection of the shooting coach, a resume was placed on Richard's desk by Sun Xiaoben.

　　Steve Kerr.

　　 Richard was startled. He didn't expect Cole to submit a resume to himself...

　　 He and Cole are certainly not new to each other. When he was coaching the Trail Blazers in the West, Cole was the Spurs and played under Popovich.

　　After he retired, Cole's life was pretty chic.

　　After retiring in 2003, he joined TNT as a narrator, similar to Barkley and Kenny Smith, except that he was not as popular as Barkley and Smith, and he usually explained on the spot.

　　 In 2007, he went directly to the sky and became the general manager of the Suns...

　　 In fact, when this happened in 2007, Richard did not know what medicine the Suns boss had taken the wrong thing, and it was absolutely crazy to let Cole, who has no management experience, serve as the general manager.

　　Facts have proved that the boss of the Sun is indeed crazy. Cole did quite a bad job in the position of general manager. Before the last season, he left...

　　 said it was a resignation, in fact, it was fired.

　　 Then Cole returned to TNT to understand that when the Pirates played the Eastern Conference semifinals, Cole was responsible for the on-site commentary. Richard also greeted Cole.

　　 didn't expect this guy, like McHale, to make a comeback, aiming at the Clippers, and wanted to use the Clippers as a springboard to re-enter the league.

　　Now Cole came to the door, it was definitely an urgent task for Richard.

　　 The team happened to be missing a shooting coach, and it turned out that Cole sent him home.

　　 Later generations fans must know that Curry is the strongest three-pointer in history. I'm afraid no one will doubt this.

　　 But in fact Curry is not the most accurate three-pointer in NBA history...

　　In NBA history, he has played more than 500 games and averaged more than one three-pointer per game. Cole reached the top with a career three-pointer percentage of 45.4%.

　　 And in Richard's memory, Curry's career three-pointer made less than 44%.

　　 Of course, Curry cast so much, Cole must not be comparable to Curry, but at least from the perspective of hit rate, Cole is the most accurate one.

　　In Richard's opinion, Cole may be regarded as a typical example of the wrong era...

　　 If you enter the NBA in the era of small balls, it may be that Cole's achievements will be much larger than his normal situation.

　　Although his defensive ability restricts him to become an All-Star player, but with that accurate shooting, standard point guard 191 height, and super high ball dealer, it is estimated that there is no problem with a stable starter.

　　……

　　 "Small book, tell Cole to pack up and report in Los Angeles." Richard said he would accept Cole without a word.

　　Right now is when people are missing, even if Cole has such shortcomings, Richard has to use them.

　　……

　　With the joining of McHale and Cole, Richard's coaching staff was also reorganized.

　　Interestingly, the four assistants under Richard now are Thibodeau, Mark Jackson, McHale, and Steve Kerr, all of whom will become head coaches of the league in the future.

　　 And they are all quite famous head coaches...

　　……

　　 Scouting is not required, the coaching team is completed, and then the recruitment of some of the team's necessary senior executives, such as financial, legal, business and other senior executives, Richard Dee fully handed over to Sun Xiaoben to take charge.

　　 The general framework of the team has been completed, because there are nearly three months before the start of the new season, so the time is quite ample.

　　 Richard next focused his attention on the team lineup construction, which is undoubtedly the top priority for a team's rise.

　　 The Clippers actually had two good players last season, Kaman and Eric Gordon.

　　Kaman, in Richard's view, is somewhat similar to the Cavaliers' big Z.

　　 Of course, the strength is definitely not as good as the big Z. The big Z is also an insider of the top salary level anyway. Kaman has a slight gap.

　　 But even if there is a gap between the peak and the big Z, Kaman's value in the trading market is actually quite good.

　　 The attitude of the game is diligent and hard-working, not to make trouble with the moths. Although the defensive end is sometimes ill-timed and not effective, but in general, the inside defense can still be justified, that is, the top insiders who play against Yao Ming will suffer.

　　Under normal circumstances, domestic fans know Kaman, in fact, because Kaman was played by Yao Ming many times in the game...

　　 On the offensive end, the technology is fairly comprehensive. There is a hand in the shot, and there is no big fault.

　　 In short, this is a good player. If Richard trades Kaman, it is estimated that he can get good chips...

　　How can Stern leave Richard this wealth, before Richard took over the Clippers, he sold Kaman.

　　 was sold to the New York Knicks, and Kaman was exchanged for sharks.

　　 This shark is of course not the Shark of O'Neill, but the little shark Eddie Curry...

　　 When this deal was concluded, Richard was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the little shark was still in the league. He seemed to haven't heard of the news for a long time.

　　 But the contract of this product is not small. Like Kaman, they have an annual salary of 10 million US dollars, and the two people just match the salary...

　　Richard couldn't help but secretly praised Stern's method. This old guy was doing everything he could to pit himself.

　　 Of course, this operation may also be Stern's intention to help the Knicks~www.readwn.com~ He has been helping the Knicks from time to time, which is not a day or two.

　　 Everyone in the league knows it, even the fans know it, but they are too lazy to mention...

　　 mentions what can be done. If this New York stinky tomato team doesn't help, it will be completely finished.

　　 Last season, the two Knicks with the highest salary, one is McGrady and the other is the little shark.

　　The Little Sharks played 7 games last season, averaging less than nine minutes of playing time, guarding the drinking fountains with a salary of tens of millions of dollars.

　　 And in recent years, because of injuries, McGrady's condition has also fallen quite sharply.

　　 played 24 games in the Knicks last season and averaged only 9.4 points per game.

　　Think of the state of the two highest paid Knicks. If Stern doesn’t help, the Knicks will be completely cool.

　　 So Eddie Curry plus the Knicks' second-round pick in 2012, from the Clippers in exchange for the quasi-all-star level Kaman.

　　 Does this operation pit? It’s natural to get home...

　　Since none of the suffering master Richards jumped out to question the alliance, others were naturally not qualified to say anything.

　　The only thing that Richard is gratified is that this year is the contract year of the little shark...

　　After executing this last year's contract close to US$12 million, the shark contract expired.

　　 In this respect, Richard can actually operate.
