Chapter 673: Sir Sloan's Craving

Sloan naturally understands the value of Millsap. Such a combo striker is simply a gold medal on the court.
Don’t look at the fact that the data is not particularly outstanding, but once given him enough playing time, Millsap can now easily play an All-Star stat.
The most important thing is that Millsap entered the league in 2006. The contract he signed with the Buccaneers only ended in the summer of 10 years...
That is, with strong combat power and cheap salary, such players are simply too tempting.
Not to mention the Jazz, the Spurs and Lakers are also salivating for Millsap. There is no salary space for these two teams, but there is no problem with swallowing a newcomer contract.
Spurs' lineup, lack of forwards and guards, only an old Bowen is reliable, Millsap can play power forwards and small forwards, the key is also low-key, Popovich likes this kind of player most.
Of course, the real reason Popovich likes it is that it’s cheap, and it’s almost free until the summer of 2010...
As for the Lakers, Odom is currently playing small forward, and his strength is good, but Odom is more suitable to play the bench, and Kobe staggered the playing time.
If they can win Millsap and put Odom on the bench, this lineup is a bit invincible.
After Bryant got the big Gasol, Bryant called Richard and asked about Millsap.
Richard certainly cannot promise to sell Millsap to the Lakers or Spurs.
He can sell Millsap to any team in the league, but only to the Spurs, Lakers, Pistons and Green Kai.
Because after these four teams got Millsap, maybe they could really threaten the pirates' dominance.
So in any case, Richard is absolutely impossible to sell Millsap to these teams.
On the contrary, it is the Jazz, which is a potential choice for Richard, because the jazz is now good, but even if there is a Millsap, it is definitely not an opponent of the Pirates.
After Richard Millsap was traded to the Jazz, he could mix the muddy water in the west even more muddy.
The more Western strong teams, the Spurs and the Lakers want to rush out of the west, the more difficult it is, because a team like the Jazz will consume their physical energy in the playoffs.
Richard is open to trading Millsap to the Jazz.
"Old man, let me give you some insights about trading Millsap." Richard said with a sincere look at Sloan who was sighing.
"Huh? Tell me, Lee, if we can finalize this deal, we will be grateful to you." Sloan said with surprise.
He can also feel Richard's sincerity, it seems that Richard really has the idea of ​​trading with their jazz.
Richard was stunned, the Jazz was grateful to himself? It would be nice if they didn’t curse themselves...
To say who the Jazz fans hate most, Richard must be able to rank first on the leaderboard.
Although under normal circumstances, the Jazz did not win the championship, but where the fans know this, in their view, it is Richard, the devil, ruined their chance to reach the top of the jazz.
"It's enough to be grateful, I don't expect your jazz to be grateful to me."
"My bottom line is a top ten pick, with an arbitrary first round pick. I think this chip, if you jazz hard, it is still possible to get it." Richard is considered to be Sloan. Pointed out a way.
The Jazz took their own first-round picks, added some chips, and found a weak team in exchange for a top-ten first-round pick. This is a bit difficult, but the Jazz can still do it.
Coupled with one of Jazz's own first-round picks, they can get the coveted Millsap.
"Really?" Sloan looked surprised, looking straight at Richard.
Richard nodded solemnly, he didn't go round with Sloan, and said the chips were the ones he wanted.
"Are you sure?" Sloan asked again.
The reason why he asked Richard so continuously was that he wanted to get a definite answer from Richard.
In case their Jazz traded the top ten picks from other teams, Richard wouldn't trade again, and Sloan would be killed.
The Jazz want a top ten pick. Although they might pick a good newcomer, what if they don't? That will affect the overall strength of the team. After all, the top ten picks are not picked up in vain. Sloan needs to take out chips to exchange.
"Jerry, my old man, I don't need to lie to you for such a thing."
"But I hope you can do it as soon as possible, not for too long."
Sloan nodded in surprise, no need to say this kind of thing, they will definitely do it quickly.
After all, after getting Millsap, they also had to run in.
...
In this game against the Jazz, the Pirates easily won. O'Neal was relegated tonight. Oden won the starting opportunity and scored 30 points and 12 rebounds.
After winning this game, Richard has led the team to a 23-game winning streak, and the record of the winning streak in the mind still fails to get it.
But Richard is not in a hurry, as long as he wins, this reward must be in his pocket.
Not 23 games, that is 33 games. If not, you will win 73 games. If you can’t, you will win the season. Richard doesn’t believe it.
Now with the upgrade of the team's lineup, Richard feels that the team has a big advantage against the Spurs.
On the Lakers side, Richard hasn’t played with them yet. The situation is unknown...
However, both of these teams are Western teams. They only need to play two games. Even if they lose all four games, the Pirates can play a jaw-dropping record.
...
By mid-December, Richard had finally ushered in the most gold-rich game against the Spurs.
The results did not exceed Richard's expectations. The Spurs' current internal lineup is not what it used to be. The original Spurs' internal advantage has now disappeared.
Duncan certainly can get some advantages, but the advantages are almost negligible.
The Spurs' strength has remained almost unchanged from the previous season, but the Pirates have improved a lot.
The Pirates could have beaten the Spurs in the finals, not to mention that their strength has improved.
After the victory over the Spurs, the Pirates are still undefeated. Such a horrible record has already made the fans label the championship on the Pirates.
To say that the most happy person in the entire Pirates team is not Richard or the team’s original lineup, but O'Neal, who joined the Pirates this year.
"God, I can't describe my feelings now!"
"We actually played close to thirty games and didn't lose one. Can you imagine? This is a miracle that God can't do!" At the post-match press conference against the Spurs, O'Neill was Richard Brought to the press conference.
Without waiting for the reporters to speak, O'Neill continued to speak for himself.
"The only thing I regret now is that I didn't play Richard earlier. God, if we can join forces earlier, then we are probably now at least ten championship rings!" O'Neill extended his hands...
The reporter off the stage rolled his eyes and played Richard early? Did O'Neill forget about the fight with Richard in previous years?
Have you forgotten that you were screaming at Richard?
Even in the previous offseason, you said you were very unhappy that you were traded to the Pirates, and very unhappy to play for Richard!
Now that you have played for less than half a season, are you really fragrant?
However, even if these reporters were defamatory in their hearts, the Shark's face must still be given, and he did not wear O'Neal on the spot.
And they think O'Neal's words are actually correct. If O'Neal and Richard formed a team at the peak, it would be really terrifying. Maybe there are now ten championships.
The most dominant insider in history, Richard, the amazing coach, has recruited four all-star outsiders. The championship is appropriate.
Richard sat aside and laughed. The benefits of O'Neill actually staying in the team are still many...
Not to mention, he really has a hand in the active team atmosphere. Although his mouth is a bit poisonous, but there is no bad heart, not the kind of player who likes to bully people.
The newcomers on the team also have a lot of respect for O'Neill, an old senior, especially Oden. With O'Neill's experience, his on-the-spot performance has matured a lot, and he has considerable respect for O'Neill.
If it rests on other champions, this strength may have long been unsatisfactory.
But Oden has no complaints and is dedicated to substitute O'Neal.
It can also be seen from this that Oden's character is really good, which is very satisfying to Richard.
...
After defeating the Spurs, the annual All-Star balloting will begin again.
Richard's plan this year is that the team has four All-Stars on the floor. Based on the current situation, it should not be difficult.
Milicic, Paul, Roy and O'Neill must be selected, there is no doubt about this.
These four are the most important players in a certain field of the league.
Milicic is a power forward. The league's most powerful forward is the Spurs in the west. The strongest power forward in the east is definitely Milicic. Even if Garnett comes to the east, his current popularity and status I'm afraid I can't keep up with Milicic.
Milicic is too young, and from time to time there is a terrifying second pass, which is scary and popular.
Paul is now the league's strongest organizer, averaging assists per game far beyond Nash.
And Paul's defensive strength on the 1st position can almost be called the league. Old Kidd is old after all.
Roy is the league's scoring leader. In a sense, he is the player with the strongest offensive firepower in the league.
O'Neill is the most important veteran in the league who is over 35 years old, no one...
If such four players can't make it to the All-Star team, it will be really unacceptable.
The guarantee is that these four can enter the All-Star game. As for whether Granger or Oden can enter the All-Star game, it depends on their luck.
...
On December 29th, Eastern fans ushered in the most anticipated game.
The Pirates played Lu Kai at home.
In the previous schedule, the Pirates played against Lu Kai once, but Lu Kai lost quite miserably...
However, in that match, the Green Giants have not yet taken shape. This is the first time that Green Kai has formed a lineup of the Big Three against the Eastern Pirates.
Richard is also looking forward to this game. Although he knows that Green Kai can't beat the Pirates, he also wants to see Green Kai in this lineup of the three giants.
"Coach, please comment on our lineup?" Before the game started, Pierce walked next to Richard with a smile.
"Yes, Anji did a job this time..." Richard said with a smile.
Pierce smiled bitterly. Of course he knew that Richard and Anji did not deal with it. At the moment, Anji was damaged. It was normal.
Richard said that Green Kai's lineup is good, but in fact it is not a nonsense. The two giants introduced by Green Kai are still quite scientific.
An inside Garnett, plus a full-back Ray Allen, do not conflict with Pierce's position, and the three players' style is also a perfect fit, Anji's recruitment is indeed quite awesome.
The only thing is that the bench lineup is a bit scum...
In fact, this season is almost the only chance for Green Kai to win the championship. If they can't win the championship this season, let alone pirates, they can't beat the Western giants.
The reason is very simple. These three giants are all veterans in their thirties, all on the tail of their peak period. Their strength is definitely not as good as one year, and the chance of winning the championship will become smaller and smaller.
However, Richard would certainly not tell Pierce to listen to this kind of words. Now that Pierce is in a good time, Richard cannot bear to strike him.
...
Garnett was warming up, and also saw Richard talking to Pierce, secretly sighing in his heart.
He was full of fear for Richard, and he didn't even know where the fear came from.
...
"Beep beep!" The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, and the two players started to debut.
O'Neal, Milicic, Granger, Roy and Paul, Richard did not support, and tonight took out the strongest starting lineup of the Pirates.
Lu Kai's starting lineup is two fat Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen and alien Kassel.
Kassel previously played for the Clippers, UU reading www. uukanshu.com came to Lukai's lineup a few days ago, serving as Lukai's starting point guard...
Undoubtedly, Lu Kai's point guard position is quite a short board, they could still have Rondo.
But now Rondo has been cut off by Richard...
In other words, the strength of this Green Kai team may not be as good as the normal Green Kai.
...
At the beginning, Paul grasped the weakness of Kassel's old man's slow movement and directly used Milicic's pick-and-roll to throw down.
Then Lu Kai's offensive round, Ray Allen shot three points from outside, but unfortunately missed, the rebound was snatched by O'Neal.
The second fat Perkins is not a newcomer. He entered the league in 2003. Although he has played in recent years, he has mostly played off the bench. Even if he hits the starting lineup, the playing time is less than 25 minutes.
The thin and dead camel is bigger than the horse, even if O'Neill is old now, it is far from being able to compete with the two fat.
