Chapter 636: Milicic's early renewal issue

The openers beat the Milwaukee Bucks with a big score of 108:91.
Richard was quite satisfied with this result.
However, in the next game, Richard was not prepared to allow Mourning to play for too long, unless it was a certain moment.
Cultivating newcomers to the team is still the top priority of Richard's next job. If a team wants to rise from a poor situation, there is no way out of cultivating newcomers.
In the next year's 2007 draft, Richard desperately wanted Oden.
This year, Mourning can play against the center, but will Mourning retire next year?
Although Valejo is good, he is not a top player in the center position.
So, compared to Durant, in fact, Richard wanted center Oden.
The players on the forward and guard line, although no one is better than Durant, but this gap is far less than the gap between Valejo and Oden.
Of course, here is Oden, who is completely healthy and not affected by injuries.
Moreover, Richard also wants to see how this player, who has been given such high evaluation by the media, can grow up without those ups and downs.
Prior to this, Richard's choice of players are the kind of players who normally make a name for themselves.
Even Roy has played well in the league for several years.
But Oden is even worse, with few marks left in the league.
This makes Richard more uncomfortable. If Auden is really cultivated, his sense of accomplishment will definitely burst.
But Oden is the No. 1 pick, Richard was not that easy to get it...
If the Bucks' first-round pick is really good luck, then maybe they can directly draw the top pick.
And if he can’t get it, Richard has to think about it.
...
After the game, Richard recruited Rondo and Paul.
Paul scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals tonight, and directly scored 59 points.
Looking at Paul's expression, he is still quite satisfied with his performance tonight, mainly because there are two steals data...
One steal is equal to five points, two steals is directly ten points.
"Chris, you credited 59 points tonight, is there no problem?" Richard took out his notebook and recorded Paul's points.
Paul nodded.
"Last night Cowens reminded me that your bet may cause you to swipe the data and affect the team's win."
"He suggested that if the original rules remain unchanged, if the game is lost, the points will be halved."
"I don't know, do you think this plan is fair and unfair?" Richard looked at them and said.
The two nodded one after another, which is naturally fair. They are both players who are pursuing victory. They are really afraid that the other party will do whatever it takes for the data to cause the team to lose.
Now that such a new plan has emerged, both of them have raised their hands in favor.
In Paul's previous month's schedule, there were fifteen games.
And Rondo has 16 games in the next month. Of course, it is impossible for Rondo to play one more game. When the time comes, the score will definitely be the first 15 games.
In the two-month schedule, the opponents' strengths are comparable, and there is not much difference.
...
The next game, the Pirates' opponent is another weak chicken, Atlanta Hawks.
The Eagles are the real tank team. Anyway, for so many years, they have been and never stopped.
The point is that they did not pose any decent players...
Of course, it is also possible that they don’t want to put it down, but their strength is too weak to get a decent record.
In this game against the Eagles, the Pirates really interpreted what it means to abuse food.
After the third quarter, the Hawks have collapsed. Chris Paul was replaced by Richard directly after thirty-five minutes of the stipulations.
Tonight's exposure, the data explosion made Rondo feel pressured.
24 points, 4 rebounds, 17 assists and 4 steals!
In this game tonight, Paul credited 86 points, far more than 59 points in the opener!
If Paul can maintain this rate of earning points, Rondo feels that he has no chance to win this bet.
...
However, in the next third game, Rondo's confidence was strengthened, because Paul's performance in this game was not outstanding, and more embarrassingly, the Pirates also lost...
The opponent is the well-known Eastern Raptor, but this year's Raptors look a little different.
Their two insiders, one Bosh and one Bagnani, are not considered traditional insiders.
As a result, the two suddenly broke out tonight. Bagnani made 4 of 3 3-pointers and scored 23 points. Bosh scored 34 points.
If Mo Ning was present, Richard estimated that even if the inside of the other two of them broke out, they would still be able to win.
But the key is that Mo Ning is now "hidden".
Richard did not want the teams to regard the Pirates as the biggest threat.
Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves...
In case of which team is bad and hurts Moning, Richard has no place to reason.
Paul scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal in this game. Normally, he scored 38 points~EbookFREE.me~ As a result, he only got 19 points because of losing.
This is quite miserable. Last game won 86, this time only 19, the gap is not so big.
Rondo was relieved, and he still had hope to surpass Paul...
...
Right now this season, Richard is sure that his goal is the first in the East and strives to get the qualification to lead the All-Star.
There are already five super giant suits, and we will strive to get another one this year.
But before that, Richard had one more thing to do.
That is to give Milicic an early renewal.
This is Milicic's fourth year in the league, the last year of a four-year rookie contract.
Milicic has gradually been trained by Richard to become an all-around front-court big-core, such a high-quality player, Richard must surely cling to the hands.
This season's salary space for the Pirates is already the same as other teams, with a little more than $53 million.
Renewable contracts can be renewed, and salary space has always been a problem for Richard.
Because Richard has been constantly recruiting newcomers, and these newcomers are quite strong players, when their rookie contract expires, Richard must inevitably give them a big contract.
It may be okay to say that in the past few years, Richard can still turn around, but as more and more new people need to be signed, the team's salary space is not enough.
Of course, he can pay a high luxury tax to sign as many new recruits as possible, but now Richard is also the boss, he must always consider the income and expenditure of the team.
Although Richard doesn't care much about the team's profitability, but since he chose this career, it has always been a loss...
Richard is now worried about what kind of salary contract to give Milicic.
