Bishop of the Devil

Two days later, all eight teams in the first half of the East and West ended their first round schedule.

In the eight groups of games that started in the first round of the playoffs this year, none of them even reached the tie-break...

The Spurs directly and neatly defeated the Thunder with a big score of 4:0 this time. Duncan told Guo Fu with an absolute crushing advantage, whether your uncle is your uncle...

The Blazers, ranked third in the West, also killed the defending champion Mavericks in five games.

The Western Conference last season was a game between the Blazers and the Mavericks. As a result, the Mavericks advanced and the Blazers were eliminated. This year, the Blazers can be considered a revenge.

There is no suspense in the east side, all are easily promoted.

...

The playoffs were in full swing, and Richard was not idle, and began to contact the teams to discuss the deal.

This time Richard was going to trade with Monroe. Although the monkey is also in Richard's trading plan, at least in the coming season, Richard is not going to sell the monkey.

Right now, the monkey has not reached the highest value. If it is sold, the price will not be too high.

And the value of Monroe is pretty good...

This season just ended, Monroe was the center of the Clippers' Indiana, and his performance was notable. At Richard's request, Monroe added three points from the day he joined the Clippers.

Monroe actually has a three-point firepower right now, but the quasi-head is not good, and the level of being in the early 30s is better than the three-point level.

Richard knew that this might be Monroe's ultimate three-point strength. Even if he practiced in the future, he might not be able to improve it.

Richard knew this, but other teams didn't. After all, Monroe was just a newcomer who had just finished his second season, and there seemed to be many possibilities.

With an average of 12.8 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game, Monroe's performance in all aspects of this season has been remarkable, there is no short board, but there is no particularly dazzling place.

Richard first contacted the New Orleans Hornets. To be precise, they have now changed their name to New Orleans Pelicans.

Ballmer followed Richard’s advice, bought the Hornets, and then changed his name to the Pelicans.

The reason why it will be renamed Pelican is actually not Ballmer's idea, but voted.

For example, if the former Charlotte Buccaneers used fan voting to determine the team name, then it is estimated that the Charlotte Bobcats would eventually be called.

...

Although Richard does not know Ballmer, but it is naturally impossible for him to call Ballmer when trading a player.

Richard directly contacted Pelican coach Monty Williams and said he wanted to trade Monroe with them.

Monty Williams is still quite good to talk, this is a junior head coach.

When Richard first entered the league, actually Monty Williams was still in active service, and did not enter the league for long...

He entered the league in the 1994 draft and was the same rookie as the big dog Robinson.

The player's career is completely a pawn. He has roamed several teams in the league and has never played a stable start.

Until he retired in 2003, the best season of his career was only 9+3.

In the nine years from 1994 to 2003, how much Richard did the sensational alliance?

It's almost uncountable, so Monty Williams should not be too impressed with Richard. At this moment, Richard calls him, but it makes him feel a little excited.

He didn't say anything about Richard's appeal, he told the team's management, and the next thing was to start a long meeting to discuss.

The Pelicans have the second-lowest record in the league this season, and they were lucky to win the top spot in the lottery...

Richard was naturally not stupid enough to get Monroe to pick the No. 1 pick for the Pelicans. Thinking about this is impossible, it is estimated that only a fool would agree.

What he really wants is another first-round pick for the Pelicans, a 17th draft pick from the Magic before.

Richard did not know how to evaluate this 12th Draft. There are a lot of outstanding players, but mainly concentrated in the high order, and the outstanding rookies in the lower order are much less than 11 years.

At least the top ten picks out, no one can match Leonard.

Thinking of this, Richard was amused by himself, and his idea was as if it was normal for a player like Leonard to appear at the 15th pick...

The 15th pick has a very low chance of becoming a talent. In fact, since the establishment of the NBA, before Leonard, only one Nash has been selected by the 15th pick.

Although the other fifteenth overall players have good strengths, they are definitely worse.

That is to say, since the establishment of the NBA, the 15th overall pick is currently the two of them, Nash, the other is Leonard.

This is still normal. Now Leonard is selected by Richard with the 13th pick, which means that there is only one Nash.

Of course, in the future, there is another big player with the fifteenth pick, and it happens to have played against Leonard.

That's right, it's the letter brother Adetokounmpo...

Fate is such a coincidence. In the history of the NBA, Nash was eliminated, and the strongest two 15th pick players met in the Eastern Conference.

...

Richard asked the Pelicans for the 17th overall draft pick in order to take the normal 20th overall pick by the Nuggets.

This Fournier belongs to a tall type of point guard, a 201-centimeter point guard, and a certain ball-handling ability, he can make a guest appearance in the first position.

Although the defensive end is not awesome, the offensive end is still quite good. A 17th overall pick is definitely a profitable trade.

Now Richard is waiting for the Pelicans to reply to himself...

Of course, Richard demanded more than just a 17th overall pick. Monroe was a top ten pick, and he was completely worthy of his draft pick. How could Richard only need a 17th overall pick? Pick.

In addition to this 17th overall pick, Richard also wanted the Pelicans' second-round pick.

However, according to Richard's guess, the Pelicans may increase their prices.

This is not a big deal. It is not a big deal for Richard to include the Clippers' second-round draft pick, which should be able to facilitate this deal.

Right now, the Clippers only have one second-round pick, with the 16th pick in the second round, which is still a lost value...

...

"Monti, this transaction directly rejects Richard, and pay attention to the words to be euphemistic." Monti-Williams waited for such a reply after waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Demps, Monroe's strength is good. If Richard is willing to come up with a second round signing, I don't think we will lose money in this deal?" he asked a little puzzled.

In his view, the team's general manager Dale Demps refused Richard so much, and did not even talk about it, which is really somehow inexplicable.

"It is indeed a loss, but we can't make a deal with Richard. At least I don't think anyone in the West will be willing to make a deal with Richard, unless it is the brothers of Richard and the two brothers of Richard. "Dumps frowned.

After listening, Monty Williams seemed to understand the meaning of the Pelican President.

If Richard had worked in the past, the deal would have been done, but now Richard has the Clippers completely. In countless hours in the future, he will always be on the Clippers.

The last draft, through a season, has proved that Richard has the rhythm to lead the Clippers to the dynasty.

In this case, the Western team seems to have formed a tacit agreement, in any case, refused to trade Richard to draft rights.

If Richard rises like this, the Western team will be dark...

Before Richard had run the Pirates, he played four consecutive championships in the east. If Richard had left the Pirates, the Pirates might still be able to maintain this consecutive championship.

Now that he has arrived in the West, the teams in the West will not compete for the enemy anyway. Let Richard build a team similar to the Pirates in the West. No one will have a hard time.

...

"Okay~www.readwn.com~Mr. Demps, I'll talk about this with Richard..." Monty Williams said in pain.

In fact, he still really wants the player Monroe, the team is currently holding the No. 1 pick must be the No. 1 pick Anthony Davis.

And Davis is playing the power forward position, which matches with the center of Monroe, so that their Pelicans will have the chance to become the league's strongest insider combination.

Monty-Williams has seen Richard build various twin towers first, and then he is full of heaven, so he also wants to try the twin tower lineup.

But now Temples refused the transaction without saying a word, disappointing Monty.

However, even if he is disappointed, he is definitely not going to rebel against the meaning of team executives. This is definitely not something that a junior head coach should do. He has a little say in the team lineup construction and trading. No……

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Richard."

"We have no interest in insiders because we will choose Anthony Davis."

"I'm really sorry, if we have a chance in the future, we will give priority to the deal with the Clippers."

Monty very politely apologized to Richard...

Richard did not expect the Pelican to simply reject it, even giving no room for bargaining.

This is interesting, Richard originally thought that the Pelicans would bargain with themselves, and eventually took out Monroe plus a second round sign in exchange for their two draft rights...

For a time, Richard frowned, feeling that he might not be so comfortable this offseason.

The Pelican refused his offer and did not even bargain. This must be weird!
