Bishop of the Devil

The moment the game ended, the number of championships of the active head coaches was rearranged on the big screen.

What made Jackson Jackson curse so shamelessly was that the Pirates staff directly ranked Richard's name above Jackson...

Although both of them have led the team to win seven championships as head coaches, this is the home court of the Buccaneers. They can rank however they want. There is no reason for the team owner to be inferior to Jackson.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Richard is forty years old this year, and Jackson is already sixty-four, and most of them are buried. It is only a matter of time before Richard surpasses Jackson.

This time question is likely to be next season. With the Buccaneers' current strength, who will be the Buccaneers' opponent? !

Richard watched the Lakers generals leave the field sadly, and suddenly thought of something in his mind.

It may be difficult for the Lakers to regain their historical glory...

The main reason is that they brought in Ben Ben. Because of Ben Ben, the Lakers have now lost Bynum, and will lose Artest next. Without these two high-end combat capabilities, the Lakers may not be able to reach normal levels. The kind of combat power in the situation.

Because of the introduction of big money, the Lakers paid a lot of draft picks. As a result, they were unable to obtain draft picks in the Grizzlies trade, and they could only use Bynum, who has good potential, to make up the number...

This season, Bynum has performed quite well with the Grizzlies, and has been trained by the Grizzlies as the core of the interior.

How could the Lakers take away two core inside players from the Grizzlies? If the Lakers can take Bynum away from the Grizzlies this time, then Richard should wonder what the relationship between the two teams is...

…

Stern is here tonight with the O'Brien Trophy, and the staff in the Pirates Arena has quickly set up a temporary award podium.

This is the seventh time Richard has gone through the championship awarding process. It is already so familiar that it cannot be more familiar.

After leading the team to win the cup, Stern announced this year's finals MVP candidate.

Chris Paul!

The fans at the scene cheered Paul's name, and Richard also breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, he will trade Paul. Now that Paul has won the FMVP, he can be regarded as getting some compensation.

Under normal circumstances, Paul's career cannot be said to be perfect because he does not have many valuable honors at hand.

Now Paul already has two championship rings and an FMVP trophy. Even if he has nothing to gain later in his career, it is actually much better than normal.

…

When he picked up the FMVP trophy, Paul looked at Richard with a troubled expression.

He is a player with a high IQ. From the actions of the Pirates, he knows that he may be traded next.

Because if the Pirates had no idea of ​​trading themselves, they should actually talk to themselves about an early contract extension before the playoffs started.

But now the Buccaneers don’t have…

Although Granger entered the league at the same time as himself, without Millsap, it is impossible for the Pirates to trade Granger. Therefore, Paul has guessed that after winning this championship, he is likely to be replaced by Richard. trade.

Paul was naturally reluctant to give up, but he was helpless because the business alliance was so cruel.

Jordan once again gave a speech on behalf of the Pirates. Jordan seemed much more excited than Richard.

After winning the second consecutive championship, is the third consecutive championship still far away? !

As long as the team can continue to win the championship next year, Jordan will create a myth.

The only insider who established a dynasty as a player and then established a dynasty after retirement, this is something that even Richard cannot catch up with.

Richard didn't say much. It was just a second consecutive championship. It was not a big deal to Richard. Even if he wanted to say something, he would have to wait until the dynasty was established next year.

…

Tiana and the three children sitting on the sidelines were all smiling happily, especially Li Bit and Li Jin, whose eyes were shining brightly.

These two children are very passionate about the NBA. When Richard led the team to win the championship last season, although they were there, they were less than two years old at the time and were a little ignorant.

They became much more sensible when they won the championship this time, and generally understood the meaning of the championship.

…

Beasley, Curry and others also stood up and cheered for Richard. In their view, Richard was their spiritual totem!

…

After winning the championship, Richard led his team to participate in the championship parade three days later, spent a few more days with his family, and then got back to work.

There is a lot of work in the offseason, and Richard must seize the time to deal with it, especially Paul's transaction, which must be finalized before the draft begins.

Before preparing to trade Paul, Richard must have had a chat with Paul. At least he had to inform Paul about such a big matter. If Paul was sold without saying a word, then Paul would probably hate the Pirates to death.

"Coach, actually I have guessed it before." Paul looked a little ugly. Anyone who knew that he would be traded by the team just after winning the Finals MVP would definitely not be happy.

"Sorry, Chris, this is the team's long-term development plan for the future, we have to trade..." Richard sighed and said.

"Let me guess, coach, are there going to be a lot of quality point guards in this draft?"

"The team is sure to get one of these high-quality point guards. After trading me, we can save salary space to prepare for Roy's contract extension?" Paul asked with a wry smile.

Richard was startled. Paul's IQ was frighteningly high, and he could guess pretty well.

In this draft, because of Curry's early participation, the number of high-quality point guards is astonishing.

Rose, Westbrook and Curry are all point guards. These three are all top point guards.

Apart from these three top players, Dragic and Chalmers are actually very good point guards.

This is definitely the year of the point guard.

"You are very smart, Chris. I firmly believe that you will achieve greater achievements in the future!" Richard patted Paul on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"I hope..." Paul sighed.

Can there be more outstanding achievements in the future? Even Paul himself didn’t believe this…

How could we be as outstanding as we are now? He entered the league for three years and then won two championships, both as an absolute starter, and also won a FMVP.

Where can I get this kind of opportunity in the future?

"By the way, coach, I hope you can trade me to the West as much as possible. I don't want to stay in the East and be abused by you..." Paul said with a wry smile.

He knows much more about the terrifying strength of the Buccaneers than outsiders. He knows that if he continues to stay in the Eastern Conference, even if Richard leaves the Buccaneers this year, the Buccaneers will still be at the Eastern Conference dominance level in the next few years. !

If he continues to stay in the Eastern Conference, he will definitely have no chance of reaching the finals.

If we go to the West, although the Spurs and Lakers are also very strong, at least they are not so strong that it makes people despair.

"Okay, I will try my best to trade with Western teams."

"Now you can enjoy this holiday..."

After Richard sent Paul away, he greeted Miles and was about to start working on Paul's transaction.

…

Trading Paul, this is a super heavyweight deal!

It’s not like there were no FMVP players in Richard’s team leaving the team before, such as Kobe...

However, Kobe left the team for free, which is completely different from the current deal.

Miles directly contacted various media and revealed to them that the Buccaneers had put the new FMVP Paul on the shelf.

As soon as this news came out, it directly caused a big shock in the league. Even Stern made a phone call personally...

Of course, I called Jordan to ask if this was true.

Jordan was also confused. He knew this was true, but he didn't know what Richard was doing.

Trade Paul? ! This is the new FMVP...

This is like the Bulls trading Jordan after Jordan won the championship.

Jordan wanted to talk to Richard to see if he could dispel Richard's idea of ​​trading Paul, but he thought of Richard's series of amazing operations in recent years that made the Pirates the strength they are today.

If I were to influence Richard, the Pirates might not be able to win the championship now...

In desperation, Jordan could only give up the idea and wait patiently for Richard's next move.

Excluding the Pirates, there were a total of twenty-nine teams in the league. As a result, as many as twenty-five teams called to inquire about Miles, the director of this transaction.

Even the Spurs and Lakers, although they know that the hope of getting Paul is close to zero, they don't want to miss this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing...

What if Richard had sulfuric acid in his head and actually sold Paul to them? !
