Bishop of the Devil

Cali Perry is naturally very satisfied with this deal. If he is not satisfied, he will not nod his head and agree...

They got Parker, a strong backcourt player. Although there is a risk of injury, this risk is still worth taking. If the bet is successful, the value of Parker alone will be higher than that of a lottery pick!

And he also got his favorite Dudley, as well as a second-round pick to pick out his college disciple...

…

All three people feel that they have made money, and they all feel that with this transaction, they will take their team to another level...

However, in fact, the only one among the three who made a profit was Ernie, and the one who made a loss was Cali Perry!

But consider that the Nets themselves didn't use the No. 8 pick to pick any good players, so they don't actually suffer a loss...

"Cheers! Happy cooperation!" Ernie raised his glass and laughed heartily.

"By the way, Lee, if I'm not wrong, do you want this first-round pick to sign your previous players?"

Cali Perry asked with a smile.

Richard nodded. Naturally, it was impossible for this No. 8 pick to be used to pick Iverson and the others, but it was also impossible for Richard to tell others about his goal...

Iverson and Raheem have excellent draft prospects. It is certain that both of them will be selected in the top three picks!

As for Miller, Richard could pick it with the No. 8 pick, but after picking it, Richard asked himself that he was not the best coach to coach Miller. Adelman, who was good at the Princeton system, was...

You don't need to think about it to know that the Warriors are very hungry for Miller now. Once they get Miller, they will definitely use him a lot!

And if Richard takes it off, it will actually not be a good thing for Miller's future growth!

As for the big money, the draft prospects are relatively bad, and Richard has prepared a second-round pick to get the big money!

So the No. 8 pick is definitely not used to select Iverson and the others. As for who to select...

To be honest, Richard is a little confused now!

What's more embarrassing is that in Richard's opinion, the value of the No. 8 pick is about the same as that of the No. 12 pick, because there are no promising rookies in the range from No. 8 to No. 12.

In other words, even if Richard holds the No. 8 pick, he has no other choice but to choose between Kobe, Peja and Nash!

Peja was naturally ruled out by Richard immediately!

In terms of immediate combat power, Peja may be a little better than Kobe or Nash, but the problem is that what Richard wants now is not immediate combat power, but potential!

If he wanted to gain immediate combat power, he would not be able to sell the flying car.

So the options are Kobe and Nash...

This is definitely a happy worry!

Kobe Bryant, the second shooting guard in history, or Nash, the second consecutive regular season MVP, who should you choose?

I’m afraid it will be difficult for anyone to make a choice!

Richard has no intention of making a decision now. He will wait for a while. There is still a month until the draft starts. It will not be too late for him to finish sorting out the Blazers' lineup before considering who to choose...

…

The three-party deal with the Bullets and Nets has been finalized, and the previous deal with the Timberwolves has also been finalized!

After Richard took over the Blazers, he made two consecutive waves of very quiet transactions. Although these two transactions have not been made public yet, once they are made public, they will definitely cause shock in the league!

You must know that in these two transactions, Richard sent away five players from the Trail Blazers!

When President of Basketball Affairs Olshey saw Richard's two transaction reports, he couldn't help but secretly be speechless...

Although Paul Allen ordered that all matters related to the team's lineup construction be arranged by Richard, Richard sold five players in a row in a short period of time, and he was still secretly shocked...

…

"Big Ben, Roaring God, O'Neal and one of Kobe or Nash should be my team to coach the Trail Blazers in the next few years!"

"Leder is a problem player, just trade it for future draft picks!"

"Rashid and O'Neal Jr. were originally Trail Blazers players according to the normal historical trajectory!"

"So, it's like I just brought one of Ben or Kobe Nash!"

"Next..."

Richard couldn't sleep at night, lying on the bed and thinking quietly...

The current lineup can certainly be said to be extremely powerful, with four guaranteed All-Star players, plus the original Blazers Sabonis and Clifford Robinson...

With such a lineup, there is no big fault to be found.

It can even be said to be flawless...

Of course, there are too many newcomers, which means that the combat power is not strong enough. This is a problem that cannot be ignored.

The NBA is not better than the NCAA. In the NCAA, everyone is young. Even if they are older, they are at most three years older. It is not a big difference!

But it's different in the NBA, a professional league. When a 28-year-old player beats a 20-year-old player, he has a huge advantage.

The age of 28 is the golden peak period for players. At the peak of his entire career, his physical fitness has reached its peak at this age. He has also played in the league for many years and has rich experience...

One can imagine what the situation will be like for these new guys under Richard facing the All-Stars in their prime.

Maybe the new Gua Danzi will explode and win the game, but the greater possibility is that he will be completely beaten by players in their prime...

The new Guadanzi coached by Richard did not have the kind of players who were at their peak when they debuted. Several of them only fully matured after training in the league for a period of time...

O'Neal Jr. only started to break out in his sixth year in the league, averaging 19+10 per game!

Nash only hit 15+7 in his fifth year...

Roaring Tianzun has matured relatively quickly. He was able to score 15+7 in his first season with the Trail Blazers.

Big Ben's situation is similar to that of Nash. He only started to break out in his fifth year in the league, averaging 13 rebounds per game. Before that, the best rebounds per game were only eight...

But now that Ben has been trained under Richard for two years, this process will definitely be shortened infinitely.

The rest of Kobe, although he started to play well in the second half of his rookie season, the time when he truly established himself as the team's main force was in the third season of his career, averaging 20+5+4 per game. The data.

There is no player who can perform at his peak when he debuts. This is where Richard feels a bit sore...

Thinking that debut is the peak, Richard suddenly thought of someone!

Richard, who was not very sleepy at first, became more energetic the more he thought about this person...
