Bishop of the Devil

Due to the 20-25 age limit, if you are unlucky, even if Richard gives birth to a son in the future, he may not be able to use it...

Most likely passed on to his grandson...

It is not impossible to pass it on to your great-grandson.

This super giant suit is really too heaven-defying. If you really want to collect it all, the effect will be much more powerful than the heaven-defying fate-changing pill.

Richard is really reluctant to let outsiders use this kind of thing, and will definitely keep it and pass it on to his heirs.

Besides, there are really not many new people who have emerged after more than twenty years that Richard can take a liking to...

…

The All-Star Weekend has come to an end, and it can be said that Richard and the West Lafayette players have gained a lot.

Iverson shared the All-Star MVP honors with Jordan, officially starting his star career.

Judging from the current situation, Iverson's future development may be better than normal. As for how good it is and whether it can make up for those regrets, no one knows...

Richard didn't know. The only thing he could do was to lead Iverson on the right path as much as possible.

If one day, Iverson really can't survive in the league like he did in his previous life, Richard will definitely lend a helping hand...

As for Kobe and O'Brien, this time the All-Stars both produced quite dazzling statistics, attracting the attention of a large number of fans.

Like Iverson, these two people have officially started their star careers!

Fortunately for Kobe, under normal circumstances, he would have been an All-Star this season, and he would have started the game...

The key is Xiao Ou. The time it took him to start his star career was much earlier than normal. Richard is quite satisfied with this. His appearance has saved Xiao Ou a lot of growth time!

…

After the All-Star Game, two-thirds of the NBA regular season schedule has been played.

There is still one week left before the door to the trading market closes. Many teams will conduct transactions and reinforcements in the next week, striving to make their teams go further in the playoffs... …

As for those weak teams, they don't care. When they encounter a suitable trade offer, they may also consider it and make plans for the future season. If it is not suitable, forget it...

What stunned every team in the league was that at this time, a trade suddenly broke out from the Pacers.

They didn't trade the current players on the team, but traded future draft picks for next season's draft picks!

The Pacers took out their 1999 and 2001 first-round picks in exchange for the Detroit Pistons' first-round pick next season...

In addition, they also used cash to buy a second-round pick for next season.

Larry Bird's operation made every team confused. It stands to reason that with the Pacers' current record, shouldn't they bring in strong reinforcements and then compete with the Bulls?

Why did you suddenly get two draft picks? This makes absolutely no sense...

Are they counting on four draft picks next season to cast a wide net and select a super rookie?

This possibility is really low. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. In the next few years, the Pacers will lose two first-round picks. If the draft results are not ideal, they will lose future.

…

On February 23, the trading market door officially closed.

Jordan breathed a huge sigh of relief. What he was worried about didn't happen. Richard didn't do that kind of thing.

Now that Jordan thinks about it, it seems that his worries are unnecessary. After all, the Trail Blazers are now ranked first in the Western Conference. They must also want to win the championship. It is impossible to loan their main players to the Pacers. Wouldn't that be a fool...

Thinking of the subtle "coordination" between Larry Bird and Richard in the All-Star Game, Jordan seemed to understand something for a moment.

There are two kinds of smart people, those who know it well but don’t say anything, and those who still like to talk about it after they know it...

Obviously Jordan is the second type!

"I can guarantee that next year's draft will definitely be a big year!"

"Just look at the teams of Richard and Larry Bird, two old foxes. No, Richard is a little fox..."

"The Trail Blazers hold five draft picks, while the Pacers have four! This is enough to illustrate the problem..."

"I even guess that the scale of the 1998 draft will not be worse than that of 1996!"

When Jordan was interviewed by reporters, he directly said the above words...

He couldn't say that he had any purpose, he just wanted to stir things up. Anyway, whether he would play next season or not was a matter of two minds.

After Jordan's speech was published in the newspapers, many teams regretted it, but they had always ignored one thing.

That's the five draft picks in Richard's hands!

The 1997 draft has ended long ago, and now you can almost tell whether it is a mule or a horse.

In this draft, the quality of players is actually pretty good, not bad anyway. After all, there are very popular newcomers like Duncan and Dazhi.

However, the key is that the number is small, and many teams have selected "junk" newcomers with high picks.

Everyone now understands why Richard did not take action in this draft, but replaced all the draft picks with the 1998 draft picks!

Fortunately, Richard has already seen all this clearly...

This treacherous guy has already seen that 1997 is not worth selling, and has hoarded a large number of 1998 draft picks, just waiting for the 1998 draft to begin!

Coupled with the Pacers' crazy hoarding of draft picks, considering the relationship between Larry Bird and Richard, it is really possible that Richard and Larry Bird are angry!

In this case, the teams went crazy...

Those teams that haven't sold yet are all happy now!

And those teams that had sold their draft picks were angry and slapped their thighs...

Every team has stepped forward to contact various parties to see if they can get draft picks. Although the door to the trading market is closed, if the draft picks are agreed upon, they can still be "traded" as usual, but it can only be oral contract.

But in this situation, no team would sell draft picks unless they were crazy.

Richard selected All-Star starter Jermaine O'Neal with the 17th pick...

What if something like this shit happened to them? They can wake up laughing from their dreams!

For a time, the value of draft picks skyrocketed. Even a second-round pick was treated as a treasure by every team...

After all, in the second round, Richard also selected a super blue-collar guy like Ben!

Larry Bird laughed like crazy. Fortunately, he started early and hoarded some draft picks. Fortunately, he kept his mouth shut and did not reveal it to Jordan. Otherwise, the Pacers would not have so many draft picks now.
