Bishop of the Devil

The Bucks directly rejected Richard...

Larry Bird didn't know what was going on, but he seemed to have his sights set on O'Brien. After being rejected by Richard again, he was willing to use the top five picks in the future to protect the draft picks in exchange for the Blazers' two this year. A first-round pick.

But judging from Larry Bird's intentions, he is also similar to the Bucks. He wants Richard to be a dog-headed strategist.

Richard refused again without saying anything. The reason for his refusal was not because of the dog-headed military advisor or Larry Bird's lion's mouth.

It's the Pacers' first-round pick next year, and it's estimated that the pick will be very low...

Larry Bird has been bad this year, and he will definitely not continue to be bad next season. Under normal circumstances, the Pacers next season can have the second regular season record in the Eastern Conference. Richard would be crazy to agree to this trade offer. .

…

The last king did not have so many twists and turns with Richard, he was very simple...

In the first round, the top five protections are exchanged for one for two. In the second round, Richard can be exchanged, but it is still one for two.

They didn't ask for Richard to be their dog-headed military advisor, so the offer made Richard quite satisfied.

In Richard's impression, the Kings' team does not actually have a strong presence in the league. The impression that most fans of later generations have on this team is that of their boss Ranadive's beautiful daughter and a test worth one test coin. Sins...

As for the Kings' gorgeous Weber Western Conference Finals era, few domestic fans actually witnessed it with their own eyes.

However, the current owner of the Kings is not Indian Ranadive. At this time, Ranadive is a minority shareholder of the Warriors. He is a die-hard fan of the Warriors...

Even if Ranadive later acquired the Kings, he was still a Warriors fan.

Can you believe that the owner of one team is actually a fan of another team?

According to league gossip, the reason why Cousins ​​was sold to the Pelicans at a low price was because after Cousins ​​defeated the Warriors in overtime, he yelled "Kill the Warriors!" in the passage of the Warriors locker room.

Ranadive heard this directly and was very angry. It happened that Cousins ​​had never led the Kings into the playoffs, so Ranadive directly sold Cousins ​​at a low price.

Then, Cousins ​​​​joined the Warriors for a price of one test coin...

The world is so magical. Cousins' walnut-sized brain probably never imagined that after two years of wandering around, he would join the warriors he wants to kill!

So delicious!

Richard agreed to the king's offer without saying a word. There was really nothing to fault about it.

According to Richard's memory, the Kings' record in the coming year will definitely not be high, because in 1998, the Kings used their first-round No. 7 pick to get Bai Qiao.

Even if Richard trades two first-round picks this time, the Kings cannot rely on these two first-round picks to turn around, because there are really no decent players to choose from.

The Trail Blazers' two middle and late first-round picks were directly exchanged for the Kings' first-round pick protected by the top five picks in the coming year.

And Richard also took out the lower two of the remaining three second-round picks in exchange for the King's second-round pick for the coming year...

Four for two, fair and just, Richard felt that he would definitely not lose.

Perhaps because he had a good impression of the Kings, Richard vaguely mentioned to the Kings management that Bobby Jackson was good on the phone.

Anyway, Bobby Jackson was useless, Richard was not prepared to take it, and it was just a favor to the king.

And the Kings can't rely on Bobby Jackson to improve their record.

…

In this way, Richard sold four of the five draft picks in 1997. Richard was not prepared to keep the only remaining one, so he directly contacted Carlisle...

The remaining second-round pick is in a good position. If you exchange it for the Philadelphia 76ers' second-round pick next year, the 76ers will not lose anyway.

And Richard also suggested that Carlisle use this second-round pick to select second-round pick Mark Jackson.

This Mark Jackson is not a big-ass Mark Jackson, but a rookie blue-collar insider this year. His ability is not top-notch, but he is almost the tallest among the dwarfs in this second-round pick.

Even if he is not as good as Bobby Jackson, the gap is not too big. Anyway, if the Philadelphia 76ers take it and train him to be the main backup center, it will not be a problem.

…

All five draft picks were sold in exchange for the Kings' first-round and second-round picks for the coming year, as well as the 76ers' second-round pick.

The Kings' pick for the coming year, Richard remembers, was the seventh pick, and they used this pick to get White Chocolate Williams.

And if the pick does not change, Richard will be prosperous if he gets the No. 7 pick...

Optional stars include Nowitzki, Pierce, and Larry Hughes!

Of course, Pierce's pick will definitely be higher than the tenth pick in history. It's hard to say whether the seventh pick can be selected.

But no matter what, Nowitzki is estimated to be selected...

As for the Trail Blazers' own first-round pick next year, they can choose Ricky Davis with the 21st pick, the only man who can make little emperor James pick up his shoes...

There is also a big player Al Harrington with the 25th pick, which is also an extremely cost-effective choice.

Or you can choose a mascot, Tyronn Lue with the 23rd pick, Grandpa Lu, the man who led little Emperor James to win the championship...

That's right, at this time next year, Grandpa Lu, a decent man, will enter the league.

As for the second round, there is Rashad Lewis, waiting for Richard's favor...

If you want to give Kobe a little surprise, you can choose the self-proclaimed "Kobe Terminator" Ruben Patterson.

There is also a big-handed "Old Cat" Mobley with the 41st pick...

Anyway, all in all, Richard will definitely develop next season. The three draft picks in exchange, plus the two draft picks brought by the Blazers themselves, may even bring four All-Stars and one quasi-All-Star to the Blazers. Level player!

This is an absolute draft harvest...

It can be said that the 1998 draft was definitely the best time to pick up the slack. There were lots of leaks all over the place. If Richard could choose the time when he traveled through time and could become the head coach as soon as he appeared on the field, he would definitely choose it without saying a word. 1998...

If we look at 1997, only one martial artist, Jackson, could pick up the slack, and then there would be no more.

Therefore, if there were not two West Lafayette players participating in this draft, Richard would not bother to go at all.

…

Charlotte, North Carolina.

This year's draft was held in this city. After Richard arrived in Charlotte with Stevens on the 23rd, he directly called Billups and Wang Zhizhi to his hotel.

Naturally, the West Lafayette gold medal was going to be awarded. When they were partying on the yacht, the Purdue Ten Stars were clamoring to get the gold medal early.

As a result, he was rejected by Richard. There had to be a sense of ceremony no matter what, and such a solemn matter had to go through a process.
