Bishop of the Devil

Under normal circumstances, the Spurs actually have a 30th overall pick this year. Popovich chose Anderson with this first round pick.

　　Anderson is known as the essence of human peristalsis. In fact, his strength is not bad. Otherwise, he will not go to get a big contract later...

　　 As Zaclavin’s college teammate, Anderson also came out of the former basketball holy land. He belongs to a famous school. His basketball literacy is still quite good.

　　 Plus his grandfather is Chinese, he has one-eighth of Chinese origin, so there are many sledgehammer fans in China.

　　 Now that the Spurs want to get an insider, they naturally choose Capella instead of Sledgehammer Anderson.

　　……

　　Richard saw that after the Spurs got Capella, after a brief shock, the mood also calmed down.

　　 Get it, you can get multiple opponents in the West, it is also a good thing for the Clippers, at least the game suspense will be greater, this should be the situation Xiao Hua is happy to see.

　　……

　　After Richard got Jokic, he was actually not interested in this year's draft conference, because he only has the second round of the 23rd pick right now. There is really no good choice.

　　In the end, Richard used the 23rd pick to select Sanassis-Adetokounmpo, the brother of the alphabetic brother.

　　 does not mean how strong the alphabetic brother is, but Richard only knows one alphabetic brother in this position, and no one else knows...

　　 Anyway, they are all used to make up the number, it is better to choose an acquaintance, then maybe it can play some role.

　　 This draft end, Richard is really a low-key excessive, took two unremarkable European players.

　　Jokic is really not very eye-catching. To be famous, Zhou Qi may be more famous on the international stage than Jokic.

　　 But now that Richard has been chosen, that player must have an unusual advantage, otherwise, how could he get into Richard's eyes.

　　……

　　In the offseason, Richard first sold the horse monkey...

　　The next season is the year of the monkey contract. Richard naturally cannot sign the monkey, nor can he let go of the monkey in vain at that time. After all, the value of the monkey is quite good.

　　 In this case, trading a monkey becomes the best choice.

　　 In the end, the monkey was sent to the Grizzlies by Richard, and the Grizzlies received an unprotected first-round pick.

It’s not a loss, of course, there is nothing to earn. According to the normal market price, the price of the horse monkey can be raised even higher, but Richard cannot bear the grizzly bear too bad, and the Clippers don’t need that much now. Draft right.

　　If too many picks are piled up, it is estimated that Richard will not choose wasteful tempers, but will choose some strong players.

　　After these powerful players joined the Clippers, how did Richard have the heart to let them go to waste...

　　 may eventually go back to the way before the Pirates, slamming the whole league, this is not the scene Richard is willing to see.

　　After selling the Malaysian monkey, Rondo's contract also expired this summer. Richard asked Rondo for a good chat.

　　Richard now provides Rondo with two options. The first option is that he will provide Rondo with a $15 million contract this year for only one year.

　　 The reason for giving such a contract is that Leonard and Thompson will sign a contract next year, and Richard cannot naturally plan ahead.

　　Except for this reason, if Rondo leaves, the Clippers' salary will not reach the poor ghost line...

As for Richard’s second plan for Rondo, it is to let Rondo switch to other teams. Richard has to guarantee that Rondo will not be in trouble. Presumably, many teams are willing to give Rondo One more big contract.

In the end, Rondo still chose a big contract. He didn’t have a peak period of several years. Naturally he had to make as much money as possible. As for honors, Rondo had three championship rings before the Pirates. He just joined the Clippers. I got another one...

　　 With four championship rings in hand, Rondo still needs to be honored, and he must choose a stable big contract.

　　Finally, the Trailblazers gave a four-year 52 million dollar contract and signed Rondo.

　　Rondo's departure has caused the Clippers' salary space to drop a lot, and what makes Richard's egg hurt is that Big Ben and Miller also announced their retirement.

　　 These two are also contracts of more than 10 million US dollars, plus Rondo's contract, almost 30 million...

　　 Without such a large vacancy, the Clippers must spend a lot of money in the new season, otherwise the poor ghost line will not be touched, and the league will also be fined.

With so much salary space, countless teams are optimistic that the Clippers will introduce a top-paid player. After all, the Clippers want the ball city to have the ball city, to have a record and a record, and there is such a historical bishop town as Richard. Those all-star players are simply too tempting.

　　 For a time, countless media and experts are speculating about which star this off-season Clippers will introduce.

　　 To know the free market this offseason, it can be said to be a lively death.

Not to mention, all the contracts of the Heat Big Three have expired, of which James’ contract only expired after 16 years, but there were provisions when the contract was signed. James can terminate the contract early in 14 years, and I don’t know Pat Riley. Why did the old fox agree to this overlord clause.

　　The Heat fans also have a ray of hope for James, thinking that he might stay and lead the Heat to re-start...

　　 But Richard is very clear, James is set, there can be no change in this point.

　　All contracts of the Heat's Big Three expire, and the contracts of Curry and Durant of the Pirates also expire. In addition, the contract of many first-line stars in the league expires...

　　There are so many big fish in the free market, and the conditions of the Clippers are really catching casually. If you want anyone, you can’t say anything...

　　 Didn't wait for Richard to think about this. These stars have already started. Durant first contacted Richard and expressed his idea of ​​returning to Richard's team.

　　 Then Curry also called, hoping to bring his dad to play in Los Angeles...

　　Even James contacted Richard, and said euphemistically that he wanted to join the Clippers and won three, four, five, six, seven, and eight championships for the Clippers.

　　James is doing so~www.readwn.com~ It doesn't surprise Richard very much, because now James needs a championship too much.

　　In a blink of an eye, James also entered the league for eleven years, but the result was no grain, and even a championship hair did not see one.

　　 Before Richard was in the west, he had been suppressed by the Buccaneers, and then went to the Heat, first suppressed by the Buccaneers, and then beaten by the Mavericks and Spurs...

　　Now the Heat has completely made him unable to see the hope of winning the championship. Naturally, it is necessary to terminate the contract in advance, looking for a more sure to let him win the championship.

Returning to the Cavaliers is also a good choice. In the past two years, Irving has been selected by ESPN as the top ten players in the league for two consecutive years. With such a good helper, he will strengthen an inside player through trading, and directly be the Big Three. .

　　Compared to the Cavaliers, James still feels more secure to join the Clippers.

　　The Cavaliers can only say that there is a chance to win the championship, and if he joins the Clippers, with the current lineup of the Clippers, he has 90% certainty to win the championship.
