Chapter 778: Spurs trading application

On April 14, the last game of the Clippers regular season against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Over the years, the 76ers have accumulated some good players on hand, but they have not been too top-notch top stars.
Wang Zhizhi has completely entered the bench this season, and this season is also his contract year. I don't know if he will continue to play in the NBA after this season.
In addition to Wang Zhizhi, the 76ers currently have good players such as Zhu Holleti, Sadis Yang, Reed, Nocioni, Speights, and Evan Turner, but because no one can play a key role. The players are all settled, so their record is not much better than the Hawks.
During the warm-up period before the start of the game, Da Zhi found Richard.
"Coach, after playing this season, I want to join the Clippers with a minimum salary to see if I can mix up a championship ring before my career ends." Da Zhi said with a smile.
"Welcome, welcome." Richard naturally welcomed.
Dazhi's age is not small now, he is already looking towards the age of 34 years old.
At such an age, the speed of Big Zhi is now far less than the peak period. The main offensive method of Big Zhi itself is to rely on his own speed to get rid of the opposing big players and then get a comfortable shot space.
Now with the serious decline in speed, it is naturally difficult to find so much comfortable shooting space, and the 76ers have also become substitutes.
But even so, Richard will not refuse big Zhi, the current big Zhi is weaker, it must be stronger than the gang of stinky tomatoes in the Clippers, leaving Da Zhi on the bench and playing according to the situation , Xing permits to exert good results
"But you have to be prepared for a protracted fight, because I don't know when I will get the championship." Richard said with a smile.
Although starting next year, the Clippers' lineup will basically begin to take shape, but the line-up formation does not mean that they will definitely win the championship.
If the Clippers enter the playoffs, there is no big problem, but if you want to win the championship, it is estimated that it will not work in the short term.
"It's okay, just let the children come to school in Los Angeles."
"By the way, I heard that they are all in a school. Let's let my kid be together." Da Zhi asked with some embarrassment.
Da Zhi’s son, Wang Xilin, is just one year older than Li Bit’s three boys. If he really came to Los Angeles to study, he would probably be in the same grade as Li Bit...
With a father like Da Zhi, Wang Xilin's height is certainly not short. Richard remembers that when the boy was 14 years old, he was more than one and a half meters tall.
Richard is already an elementary student who sympathizes with Los Angeles...
Da Zhi has made a lot of money in these years, and he naturally wants to get his son a better education. Now coming to Los Angeles, in addition to wanting to win a championship ring before the end of his career, it is estimated that his son Wang Xilin will get more Good education is also an important reason.
"Well, okay, when the offseason comes, I will talk to Kobe." Richard nodded and agreed.
...
The Philadelphia 76ers won the game. The Clippers players are basically playing soy sauce except for a small shark who is crazy about the data.
Richard is too lazy to teach these players, anyway, most of them will be washed away in the next one or two seasons.
...
With the end of the regular season schedule, the playoffs list is also hot. Of course, this has nothing to do with the Clippers. Richard is planning now to see if he can find a team to play the autumn wind and mix in the first round. The bottom pick.
This pick is naturally used to choose Jimmy Butler...
Although Jimmy Butler is not in Richard's team-building plan, such a player, with such a low pick, will certainly not want to miss it.
The price/performance ratio is quite high, only the 30th pick in the first round, but can get this kind of black tough players.
...
The Clippers have a record of 29 wins and 53 losses this season, ranking third in the west and sixth in the league.
The Atlanta Hawks, who had previously traded with Richard, were embarrassed in the end because they failed to enter the Eastern Conference playoffs and only achieved a ninth record in the Eastern Conference.
This record made Richard very satisfied, failed to enter the playoffs, then also won the 14th overall pick, which is completely enough.
On May 15th, the NBA's annual draw conference began.
Because Richard did not have a strong desire for too high draft picks, this time he did not go to the lottery in person, but let Sun Xiaoben instead of himself to New York.
In the end, Sun Xiaoben's luck can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, the penultimate record in the league, he ended up drawing the eighth overall pick...
Sun Xiaoben was originally proud to draw a No. 1 pick for the Clippers. Now he only has an eighth pick, which makes him quite embarrassed.
Richard was quite satisfied. The eighth overall pick was good. Anyway, it must be enough to take Klay Thompson.
As for the draft picks of the Hawks, luck can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. Their penultimate record in the league is just 13th overall...
As a result, Richard had two lottery picks on hand, an eighth overall pick and a thirteenth overall pick.
The eighth overall pick was used to take Klay Thompson, and the thirteenth overall pick was used to take Leonard. Richard was quite satisfied.
...
What turned out to be unexpected for Richard was that the lottery on their side had just ended and the team immediately came to the door and wanted to make a deal with Richard to get the No. 8 draft pick in the Clippers' hands.
This team is the Spurs...
Richard recalled the actions of the previous Spurs in this draft, and he was able to guess the idea of ​​Vicki.
Under normal circumstances, the Spurs have only a 29th overall pick in the first round of this draft, but Vicky has been looking for a deal, hoping to get a top ten pick in order to win Renner Virtue.
In the beginning, they focused on the ninth overall pick of the Bobcats, but the deal failed.
However, after Leonard was selected by the Pacers at the fifteenth pick, Victory immediately made a big move and took the team's outstanding backup guard George Hill to deal with the Pacers in exchange for Leonard. .
In this transaction, the Spurs only sent a George Hill, but from the Pacers got Leonard, a 42nd pick and Robek signing rights to participate in the 2005 draft.
It now appears that the Pacers are almost losing their pants.
However, no one thought the Pacers lost at the time. After all, in the second grade of George Hill, he scored an average of 12.4 points per game in the Spurs.
Now Vicky took George Hill directly to Richard to make a deal.
George Hill singled out the eighth pick in Richard's hands...
It's strange that Richard can promise. How could he get the No. 8 pick that he had given away because of George Hill?
Richard is actually a little curious. How exactly is Vicki convinced that Leonard will be able to fight? After all, Vicki is not a cross-person...
At the moment, Leonard is not at all famous. In terms of attention, it is actually not like the Morris brothers who are running for election.
Some experts compare Leonard to Rodman, because Leonard's offensive technique was quite rough at the time, and he didn't even see it at all.
The only thing the whole person can get out of, I am afraid that they have extended their hands outside their long arms, but they are a good material to grow into an outside defensive vanguard.
Leonard itself is not a famous school, there is little reputation in college, coupled with the positioning of the team is only a defensive vanguard, naturally the pick is not high.
But even so, Vicky still wants to trade a top ten pick to win Leonard. To be honest, UU reads www.uukannshu.com Richard does not really know where Vicky came from. confidence……
...
"Lee, are you sure you don't consider it?" Vickey asked frowning over the phone.
In fact, in Vicky's opinion, the chips he gave were actually taken care of by Richard, because he didn't need any additional chips at all...
Right now the Clippers lineup, George Hill will be a perfect complement.
Hill is 191 cm tall and can play the combo guard position. He can play both the first and second positions. There is no positional conflict with Sun Yue.
After taking Hill, and Sun Yue formed a backcourt combination, although not considered the league's top backcourt combination, but the power is not bad.
What surprised Vicki was that Richard did not even hesitate and refused himself!
Does this guy have a strong candidate?
Thinking of this, Vicky was a little flustered...
