"His nationality is Spanish. He plays the power forward position and can also play as a center. If nothing else happens, he may not be selected. Anyway, as far as I know, no one is paying attention to this player."

"He is strong enough to join the rookie team, but there is no guarantee on this. It still depends on the training of the coach."

Richard told Popovich in detail about Garbajosa's situation.

There is no hiding this time. Now that the deal has been reached, Richard definitely hopes to provide more conveniences to Popovich.

However, Richard is not guaranteed. Under normal circumstances, Garbajosa would be selected for the first team as an undrafted rookie, but that was with the Raptors after all. Now that he is under Popovich, can he continue to enter? As a rookie, no one can say for sure.

Fortunately, Popovich had great trust in Richard's talent selection and didn't say much.

"Okay, Lee, after the draft is completed, we will buy out Brent's contract. I hope you can sign Brent as soon as possible..."

"Don't worry, Greg, I'm more anxious about Brent joining than you are." Richard breathed a sigh of relief.

This deal, which was not on the table, was finally reached.

Because there is no paper contract, this transaction relies on the consciousness of both parties. Based on Richard's understanding of Popovich, there should be no possibility of this transaction being cheated.

The main reason is that the Spurs didn't pay anything. They bought out Brent, and the Buccaneers paid for it. Besides, Brent has no role in their lineup...

Letting go of the ineffective Brent and getting a potential first-team rookie insider is not a good deal. Even if Popovich instigates a little bit, he will never go back on his words.

…

And Richard actually rescued Mini Barry from Parker's hands without paying anything.

Of course, Richard could explicitly remind Xiao Barry, but saying this would be like a slap in the face to Xiao Barry.

Imagine you knew your friend was being cheated on, would you directly remind your friend? That's simply too cruel...

The only thing Richard could do was to keep Barry away from Parker.

In the case of saving Barry, the Spurs' strength has not improved much.

Richard didn't lie to Popovich. Garbajosa was indeed a first-team rookie, but he fell into disrepute at the end of his rookie season...

After playing a few games in the second season, he completely disappeared from the NBA league.

It is equivalent to saying that Garbajosa cannot improve the Spurs' playoff strength, and Richard has not established a stronger enemy for himself.

Richard didn't lie to Popovich, every word was the truth...

Of course, Garbajosa may not be injured in the Spurs. Maybe Popovich can really get a big advantage this time.

If this situation really happens, Richard can only admit that he is unlucky...

…

Richard arrived in New York a day early and convened this year's Purdue Juniors in the hotel. As usual, he awarded the West Lafayette gold medal.

The three young people looked at Richard with longing on their faces. Because the Pirates' draft picks this year were very high-quality, they knew very well that one of them would get the opportunity to join the Pirates.

"Coach, can you tell me in advance whether the Buccaneers will choose LaMarcus?" Rondo, the most rambunctious, had met Richard several times. He didn't recognize him at all and asked Richard directly. .

"Rajan, Portland has told me that I will be selected by their third overall pick." Aldridge said with a wry smile.

Rondo was startled, but then he laughed.

"It's all the same. Portland is still under the coach anyway..."

"What about me? Coach, can I join the Buccaneers? Otherwise, you can just pick me with the second pick." Rondo said with a smile.

"Go, go, you kid, I have other plans. Stop thinking so much. No matter which team you join, play well for me. Don't embarrass our West Lafayette." Richard also said Rondo There was nothing this stupid young man could do.

Rudy Gay is relatively silent. He is not a particularly noisy player. At this moment, he is just looking at Richard with a look of reverence.

…

June 16, inside the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The new draft is about to begin.

To this day, Richard can be said to be the absolute leader among coaches. Even Jackson, who is the master of coaching, is inferior to Richard.

Although Jackson has two more championships than Richard, in the eyes of the outside world, Richard is definitely stronger in terms of lineup building ability and coaching ability.

Just like Barkley said, my grandma could also win six championships with Jordan...

And this saying cannot be applied to Richard. If you replace it with any head coach and put them in Richard's original situation, unless they have great virtues from their ancestors, there will be no short-term success at all. hope of winning the championship.

You may even never win the championship...

When Jackson led the Blazers or the Pistons during their trough period, could he lead the team to win the championship?

This possibility is not ruled out, but it is absolutely impossible for him to do better than Richard.

In addition to his outstanding abilities, Richard's current weight in the league is also quite astonishing.

He is the boss himself, and his father-in-law is also the boss. The Pistons boss Davidson is his absolute supporter. If anyone dares to say that Richard is not half-hearted, this old man will definitely come to the door...

As soon as Richard entered the field, representatives from several teams stood up and walked quickly towards Richard.

Richard also greeted everyone with a smile. They were all acquaintances, and many of them were coaches from the West Lafayette system.

Stern was backstage and saw a large group of people surrounding Richard. Crucially, this group of people almost represented the management of more than half of the teams in the league!

This makes Stern quite uncomfortable...

The relationship between him and Richard has eased a lot, but he doesn't want a powerful person to appear in the alliance.

…

"The draft has officially begun, please take a seat." The on-site staff reminded everyone who was chatting.

After a while, Stern came on stage and chatted for about ten minutes, and this year's draft officially began.

The Raptors, holding the No. 1 pick, came up and grabbed a Bargnani, which was quite decisive.

Richard didn't know where their decisiveness came from...

I'm afraid there will be a time when they regret it.

After the No. 1 pick was selected, it was the Buccaneers' No. 2 pick.

Richard wrote Brandon Roy's name on the note. After coaching the Black Mamba, Richard was ready to get the Yellow Mamba.

Richard actually has higher expectations for the Yellow Mamba. After all, Kobe Bryant, the Black Mamba, is already successful under normal circumstances.

"I announce that the Charlotte Buccaneers have selected Brandon Roy from the University of Washington with the second overall pick in the first round."

After Stern announced the result, everyone except Richard and McMillan, the representative of the Trail Blazers, looked stunned.

Who would have never expected that Richard didn't take the precious second pick to select West Lafayette Aldridge, but instead selected a shooting guard?

You must know that Richard rarely selects shooting guards in the draft. The most selected players are centers and small forwards.

For example, the Buccaneers' current Iguodala and Granger, including Ariza who was traded, are all small forwards.

Now Richard is leaving Aldridge, who is obviously more valuable, instead of drafting a shooting guard?

After everyone thought that the third pick was the Trail Blazers, they all laughed in unison.

This is true that the rich water does not flow to outsiders...

Sure enough, the Blazers' third pick came next.

"I announce that the Portland Trail Blazers have selected LaMarcus Aldridge from Purdue University with the third overall pick in the first round."

A smile appeared on McMillan's face. His Blazers coaching career at least got off to a good start.

Although I don’t expect to be able to replicate Richard’s miracles, I can at least ensure that I won’t lose my job in the next few years.
