Chapter 670: King buys out Rahim

Roy made 4 of 11 3-pointers in the first half, 3 of 8 in the second half, and 7 of 19 in the game. His shooting percentage is not high.
However, the two-point shooting rate is not bad, two points out of 4 of 3, 4-4 free throws, so Roy scored 31 points tonight.
Counting, Roy made 23 shots tonight and scored 31 points. This offensive efficiency has actually made Richard very satisfied.
As for both Oden and Paul, Richard gave enough playing time.
Tonight O'Neal played 25 minutes, and the remaining 23 minutes were Oden's debut, with 8 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks.
The goal of Oden's intermediate god-making mission is the best sixth man and the king of hit rate.
This king of hit rate is not too difficult for Oden. Richard told him to try to improve the hit rate as much as possible when encountering a weak chicken, and encountered a man with something like Kaman inside. , As little as possible, focus on rebounding and defense.
Tonight Oden’s score is relatively small, only eight points are accounted for, but the shooting rate is very scary, 5 of 4 shooting rate!
As for the honor of the best sixth man, Richard wondered if if Oden could finally play a stat of 14+8+1 as a substitute this season, he would almost certainly get the best sixth man.
...
As for Paul, Richard did not influence him, let him play according to his normal rhythm, and play whatever he should.
The only thing Richard did was to improve Paul's playing time so that he could get as much data as possible.
Last season, Paul averaged about 30 minutes per game, and Richard this season has increased to 35 minutes.
Rondo is not dissatisfied, after all, he knows Richard’s little secret, that is, Paul will be traded at the end of the season.
As for the third point guard Sun Yue, he is even less likely to be dissatisfied...
Sun Yue is not a particularly aggressive player, and he may not be as good as Yi Jianlian at this point.
It's hard to say that it's hard to pass. As long as he can get a firm foothold in the NBA and get a guarantee contract, he is more satisfied.
Right now the situation of the Pirates is quite clear. Even if there are Paul and Rondo in front of him, it is impossible for him to have the chance to get the limelight.
Right now he feels that the only thing he has to do is to endure loneliness and survive...
Although I was selected as the 29th overall pick, it was also a first-round show and a four-year contract with the Pirates.
After the four-year contract has passed, as long as he does not die, or does not open his mouth, Richard will definitely renew his contract, although there is a great possibility of a basic salary...
But even if the base salary is so long in the NBA, it is better than returning to the country to play.
Playing in the NBA, that fame is not the same thing as playing in the country, which allows Sun Yue to get a lot of off-site endorsement contracts, and how to make more than domestic.
Now Sun Yue's goal for himself is to stay on as long as possible.
Even if I didn’t make it out of retirement, I wouldn’t lose myself anyway...
...
After the game, Richard led his team back to the hotel.
Brand's injury is not yet clear. It is estimated that the Clippers will announce the injury tomorrow, and he will not be in trouble tonight.
But after returning to the hotel, Richard was informed of another bad news.
Tonight the Kings and Heat also played a game, Rahim fractured his tibia in this game, the injury is extremely serious!
Richard sighed. It was really a bad day today. Two consecutive Lafayette players suffered serious injuries.
Although Brand's injury is unknown, Richard has a hunch that the season will be reimbursed.
Rahim is even worse...
If Richard remembers correctly, Raheem retired after this season.
He is in the same situation as Brand, who suffered serious injuries after playing a few games at the start of the game and then led to reimbursement for the season.
Brand can return to the league after his injury, Rahim is not so lucky, he is facing a complete withdrawal from the league.
...
The next final away game was against the Golden State Warriors led by Old Nelson.
The result was naturally easy to win. The Warriors did have a good time after the Black Eight Mavericks. However, due to the limitations of the lineup, they have not been able to rush to the upper half of the west, and this season may be worse. They It may not even make the playoffs.
...
After the start of the game, the Pirates played seven games and ended up winning.
If it is only a seven-game victory, although it is difficult to achieve this, but it can also appear in the opening record every few years.
The key now is that the Pirates hang their opponents in every game, which is quite remarkable.
Watching the Pirates' games, you can't see any anxiety at all. The Pirates are in an absolute lead in every game. The only thing your opponent can do is not let yourself lose so badly.
...
Richard is naturally quite satisfied with such a start record, but these seven opponents are relatively weak, and the game that can really detect the gold content of the Pirates has not yet appeared.
As soon as he led the team back to Charlotte, Richard heard an overwhelming news.
The king is ready to buy out Rahim's contract...
Rahim's injury has already been identified. Not only is the season reimbursed, even if the injury comes back, it is definitely difficult to play the previous state.
Before Rahim was injured, he was already a substitute for the Kings. In this case, the King bought out Rahim's contract is the best choice.
After the King was about to buy out Rahim, Richard was also watching to see if any team was interested in Rahim.
The result is very sad, and no team has expressed its willingness to accept Rahim.
Rahim has basically no value left now. He is a player who attacks the strong and defends the weak. In recent years, his status has deteriorated so much that he can't even take advantage of his offense.
Now with this injury again, how could a team be interested in him.
Richard immediately called Rahim for the simple reason that he wanted to sign Rahim and take Rahim to taste the championship.
Rahim can be said to be the first West Lafayette player. At the same time, he and Richard entered the league at the same time.
From a talented super rookie power forward, gradually reduced to the point of no one now, Richard was a bit sad about Rahim's experience.
But now it's okay. I already have the conditions to accept Rahim, and I can make Rahim one extra championship ring.
"Man, how is the conversation with the king's management?" Richard called Rahim and asked about the situation.
"The situation is not very good, they are willing to give out the buy-out amount is too small..." Rahim said with a wry smile.
Richard nodded and Rahim joined the King in 2005. At that time, the contract signed with the King was 32 million in 5 years, which is a relatively cheap contract.
At present, this contract has only been executed for less than three years. This season and the next two seasons, the King still has to pay Rahim's salary.
Without the previous "Alan-Houston Rule", Narahim would not have to be as distressed as he is now, he could refuse the king's request to buy out.
The so-called Alan-Houston rule is exactly a rule on buyout issued by the league in the summer of 2005.
Any team has the right to compulsorily buy out the contract of any player in the team, which is the main content of Alan Houston Law.
That is to say, before the introduction of this rule, the team had no right to unilaterally buy out player contracts, and now they have the right to force out buyouts because of this rule.
But even with the right to enforce buyouts, the king wanted to talk to Rahim. They wanted to avoid full buyouts and wanted Rahim to cut prices...
Rahim is not a fool. It is naturally impossible to agree. You have to ruin Laozi's career. Laozi still has to save you money? How can there be such a good thing.
As a result, the buyout has reached a deadlock.
"Well, break it early."
"After breaking with the king, call me and enroll in the team at any time, man, we have to fight together again." Richard said with a smile.
Rahim was stunned.
He didn't react for a while. After a moment of slack, he understood what Richard meant.
"Coach, do you mean I can join the Pirates?" Rahim could hardly conceal his excitement.
He knows his strength right now, it is almost impossible for a team to sign himself~EbookFREE.me~ And now Richard has extended an olive branch to him, which means that he is about to have the opportunity to taste the championship!
From the outside world's perspective, the pirates' chances of winning are too great. When Rahim learned that the king wanted to buy out himself, he thought about whether he could join the pirates and get a championship ring before he retired. .
But he was not embarrassed to talk to Richard in this matter. Now Richard takes the initiative to speak, and Rahim is not excited.
"Relax, coach, I will solve it as soon as possible."
...
After hanging up the phone call with Raheem, Richard took a sigh of relief, and the old brother had to return to his men to play again. This kind of feeling was really wonderful.
Although Rahim will basically not make any contribution on the court now, Richard does not expect Rahim to lead the team to win, he just wants to fulfill his original commitment.
When they can't mix in the league, Richard always has their place here.
