Chapter 431: Draft Conference

The genius remembers the address of this site for one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? This second round of the Pistons in his hand, Richard is trying to get Okur.
Although it is stated that Yao Ming will be taken at the annual meeting, but there is no substitute center in the team. Oku's strength, as a backup center, is more than enough!
And if the deal with the Golden State Warriors is successful, Richard can also get a draft pick of about 20th pick, and a pick of 30th pick.
The two picks, the 20th pick with a higher pick, Richard's purpose is to choose Gerald Wallace.
As for the 30th overall pick, this was originally used by the Warriors to choose Arenas...
If a deal is actually reached with the Warriors, Richard actually has no other better choice, but can only be used to choose Arenas.
Although Arenas is a big thorn, but after all, he has inflated things.
Under Richard's hands, the newcomer Arenas took any expansion and could only listen to Richard's maneuver with his tail.
...
Now it's up to us to sell Starkhouse before the draft.
However, Richard did not have much hope. After all, there are still two days before the draft...
Time is too hasty!
Richard secretly felt a pity that it was still too late when he joined the Pistons.
If the regular season is just over, then join the Pistons at that time, I am afraid that the Stark House has already been sold.
Then use the collected chips to do a good job in this draft conference to create a decent lineup.
Arenas Garpac in the backcourt, Elvis, Jefferson, Randolph, Nocioni and Okur in the frontcourt.
Even without Parker and Randolph, Richard can find a suitable replacement.
In this way, as long as Yao Ming is in position, this team is even rising...
But now because of the short time, many things cannot follow Richard's plan.
"First of all, anyway, I'm not going to enter the playoffs this season, take your time, there is time!" Richard thought to himself.
...
In this upcoming new season, Richard really has no plans to enter the playoffs. The playoffs are in his view. If he enters this season, it does not make much sense...
Even if he breaks into the playoffs, it is also a part of being beaten.
May be swept by 76ers, Green Kai or Bulls in the first round...
Thinking about this possibility made Richard shudder, and it was much more shameful.
Therefore, reason tells Richard that not to enter the playoffs this year is the best choice.
As for boss Davidson, Richard feels that there is no need to explain to him...
Before he signed a four-year contract with the Pistons, the contract amount is up to 55 million US dollars!
It seems that this contract is quite scary, but compared with the New York Knicks, it is really not enough...
Richard did not care too much about the amount of the contract, he is really not short of money now.
There are golden dragons who have been making money, and now they only need to lie down and count the money...
Anyway, during the four-year contract duration, Richard can bring the championship to the Pistons, that is enough.
...
In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and the draft conference officially began.
In these two days, there was a team inquiring about Stark House...
However, they are all taking advantage of the fire. It may be that Richard is eager for the draft pick, so they took out the first round of this year's draft pick and prepared to exchange Stark House.
If there is genuine sincerity, Richard certainly will not refuse.
The key is that these teams have no sincerity. The Cavaliers are completely crazy. The 8th pick they picked belongs to the Trail Blazers, but there is a previously stocked 20th pick.
As a result, the mad knight was preparing to take the rotten bird rotten eggs from the 20th pick-out team in exchange for Stark House...
They had a good idea. Harrington brought a Stark House, and this lineup could be at least seen.
The key Starkhouse contract is cheap enough, the Cavaliers can swallow the Starkhouse contract.
...
Richard must not be able to do this kind of business that is taking advantage of the fire. Even if he trades later, he can't sell it cheaply for the 2002 draft pick.
Of course, it is best to return the 2003 draft pick.
Because 2002 is actually only a draft year, the Pistons’ own draft right is enough...
A total of four All-Star players, Yao Ming, Stoudemire, Caron Butler and Boozer.
Among them, Boozer is still a second round show...
If Richard gets Yao Ming and a Boozer next year, there will be no regrets.
...
The night before the draft began, Richard called Zac Randolph and Richardson in the hotel.
After the gold medals were awarded, they were instructed to work hard not to embarrass Silafah.
The two nodded again and again, their senior Lafayette, many people have become the top stars in this league.
If they couldn't make it, it would be embarrassing.
...
At seven o'clock the next night, the draft conference is about to begin.
Richard took Bob Myers into the field this time, and immediately a group of coaches gathered around.
"Li, are there any unused candidates, take care of us?"
"Yeah, we have no idea whatsoever. We finally look forward to a draft year. I really don't know who is more reliable."
Many coaches looked forward to Richard, hoping that Richard could choose for himself.
Richard shook his head, "Since it is a draft year, everyone can rest assured to choose, so many good players, you can choose a good player if you choose."
This year is indeed a big draft year, but it is not an insider year...
The Suns used their fourteenth overall pick to replace the Cavaliers' 20th overall pick with a second-round pick from the first round.
Then the 20th overall pick was taken out of the 30th overall pick, in exchange for Richard's No. 9 draft pick.
Right now Richard has three draft picks, a 20th pick in the first round, and two second rounds.
In terms of candidates, Richard has naturally thought about it.
"Li, we are the top pick this year. Who do you think is the most suitable candidate in this wave of newcomers?" Jordan also came to the draft today.
He ran to Richard and asked Richard's opinion.
Richard had a headache, what should he say to Jordan?
"Cough, it's not Kwame Brown anyway..."
This made Jordan roll his eyes, not Kwame Brown? !
It’s not him, who can it be, Kwame Brown is a super insider who has long been eyeing...
"Li, this joke is not funny..." Jordan said dissatisfiedly.
...
Stern appeared and announced the official start of the draft.
The executives of many teams have settled down and started to get busy...
Soon, Stern announced his debut this year.
"I announced that the Washington Wizards selected Kwame Brown from Glenn College in Georgia with the first overall pick in the first round!"
When he heard the top pick of the Wizards, Richard laughed bitterly.
The old gangster was really serious. He said that Kwame Brown was not the first choice. He even chose Kwame Brown.
...
After getting Kwame Brown, Jordan looked at Richard with a light smile.
There was a hint of provocation in his eyes...
Look, what's the matter with Laozi choosing Kwame Brown? After the start of the season, Kwame Brown showed the ability of rookie O'Neal, see what Richard said...
Your selection of Richard has a savage vision, can't I Jordan? !
...
"I announced that the Atlanta Hawks chose Paul Gasol from Spain with the third overall pick in the first round!"
The second overall pick was when the Clippers got Tyson Chandler.
Richard was stunned. How was Dajia selected by the Hawks? Isn't this guy the Grizzlies who joined at the start?
After thinking it over carefully, I remembered the whole story.
It turned out that Dajia was indeed selected by the Eagles this year with a draft pick, but Dajia and the Barcelona Club of Spain are entangled. The Eagles feel that it is too troublesome to engage in...
Simply sold it directly to the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies have moved from Vancouver to Memphis in the United States this season. In the future, there will be no more Vancouver Grizzlies, only Memphis Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies are more patient than the Eagles. They helped Da Canada negotiate with the Barcelona club. In the end, the Grizzlies made a sum of money, and Da Jia paid a $1.65 million buyout fee from his own pocket. To join the NBA.
I have to say that the Grizzlies are sometimes okay...
...
The fifth pick was Jason Richardson from Purdue, selected by the Golden State Warriors.
The sixth overall pick was President Sean Battier, who was still captured by the Memphis Grizzlies...
Richard sighed secretly. In fact, if Battier is lower in the draft, he is still quite inclined to win Battier.
But now he is selected by the sixth overall pick, even if Richard has the sixth overall pick in his hand, he probably would not choose Battier.
Because there is a Joe Johnson behind, on the comprehensive strength, undoubtedly, the singles Joe is stronger.
The eighth overall pick is the Cavaliers' draft pick, but their draft pick is already attributed to the Blazers.
"I announced that Portland Trail Blazers chose Zac Randolph from Purdue University with the eighth overall pick in the first round!"
The Blazers chose Randolph directly with the precious eighth pick in the first round, and everyone present could think of the reason.
The main reason is that the Trail Blazers are not enough players inside the team!
Both Omoto and Oku played as starters. There was only one Kirilenko inside the bench. Now with Zac Randolph, the Trail Blazers will be more relaxed when arranging the inside.
As for players in other positions, the Blazers are not lacking right now.
Even if Nowitzki and Ginobili leave, the Blazers still have many outside players available.
Dave Cowens, who held the ninth pick, had a pain in his face.
They were originally prepared to win Zac Randolph with this first round pick, and Cowens is planning to wipe out two players from Purdue this year.
The result was that the Blazers cut off Huo, which made Cowens very uncomfortable...
But even if it is uncomfortable, there is no way. The first choice is being cut off, they can only choose the alternative.
"I announced that the Detroit Pistons selected Rodney White from the University of North Carolina Charlotte in the first round of the ninth pick!"
This is a 206 cm tall dual energy front, and his physical fitness is quite explosive.
Under normal circumstances, the Pistons are actually the player selected with the ninth pick.
But don't look at the good physical quality, this player really did not play, after a few seasons in the league, he can't play the ball completely.
...
Next, Boston Green Kay picked Joe Johnson in the tenth pick.
Don’t look at Lu Kai’s outstanding record this year, but they actually have one first-round pick in stock. This year they have two first-round picks.
Green Kai chose Joe Johnson, which seems like a good thing, and can make Green Kai's strength soar.
However, Richard remembers that singles Joe actually did not play in Green Kai, and was traded to the Suns before the rookie season.
Isn't it time to trade with Lukai and get singles Joe? Richard thought to himself.
The strength of singles Joe is quite possible.
Or, to be precise, quite powerful!
The height of 201 plays the position of the swingman, or simply the point guard.
He has a great advantage in height alone. The style is simple but quite efficient. He has first-hand point guard skills. Later, when the Hawks played, he often played the number one position and even had a single season. Luxury performance of 6.5 assists.
From this point of view, in fact, singles Joe and McGrady have quite a lot in common.
It's just that Joe has no athletic ability like McGrady, lacks explosiveness and average speed, so his breakthrough ability is definitely not as good as McGrady.
But when it comes to shooting percentage, singles Joe is higher than McGrady.
On the defensive end, the singles Joe's defense is not good, at least not as good as McGrady, but it is not a trailing level, just can not prevent fast or strong players.
Although Richard has missed the singles Joe right now, there is still a great chance to get it later.
After all, according to normal circumstances, Lu Kai did not pay much attention to singles Joe...
...
Next, the Houston Rockets chose Jefferson with the thirteenth pick in the first round, and then chose Collins in the 18th pick...
Well, attentive fans should notice something.
The two players who have come out publicly in the entire league have played on the Rockets, which is interesting.
When it was time for the twentieth pick, Stern announced the Cavaliers' choice.
"I announced that the Cleveland Cavaliers chose Gerald Wallace from the University of Alabama with the 20th pick in the first round!"
Richard settled down in his heart, and after taking over the Pistons himself, the first player in the class was able to get it.
Gerald Wallace.
The first All-Star in the history of the Bobcats, nicknamed Elvis, is considered a star underestimated by history.
The personal ability is quite comprehensive, the offensive end is quite sharp, and can shoot well. Of course, the shooting ability is not too good...
In terms of rebounds, Gerald, who was 201, was able to get 10 rebounds per game in his peak season, which is enough to show that he has a good rebounding strength.
On the defensive end, he won the steals king and was selected as the best defensive player for a while.
In Richard's view, Elvis' defense is even stronger than Battier's defense.
The only shortcoming is that the free throws in the first two years of the career are too garbage, and even once low to only 40-50%.
However, he later practiced free throws and improved to 70% or 80%.
All in all, Gerard's strength is at least in the view of Richard, it is completely Pippen level, it is really impossible to pick out the fault.
More importantly, Gerald's character is quite good, humble and low-key, tough on the field, but off the field is quite gentle, is an old man in the locker room.
Never troubled outside the court, raising four children with his sweethearted wife is a typical example of a good man at home.
Such a player can be selected by Richard in the first round of the 20th pick.
...
At the time, Richard had asked Purdue to recruit Gerald Wallace, but it was not successful.
The reason is that Gerald didn't want to leave his girlfriend and eventually stayed in his hometown Alabama to go to college.
This is a good boy with amorous feelings...
The draft continued, and by the 24th pick in the first round, the Grizzlies chose the French small sports car Tony Parker with their 24th pick.
Richard is a bit ignorant, is it that the Blazers made a deal with the Grizzlies?
However, Zhang Weiping's face was a bit ugly, and Richard knew that something had changed.
It seems that the Grizzlies chose Parker, definitely not for the Blazers, either for their own use, or they made a deal with the Spurs...
The possibility of a deal with the Spurs is even greater!
Richard sighed. Popovich was estimated to have suffered the loss of Ginobili, so he deliberately traded the first round of signing this year.
Their first round pick was 27th overall, and the Blazers were 28th overall.
Now the Spurs are trading up to the 24th overall pick, and they got Parker early...
As for the Blazers, Zhang Weiping must have made arrangements, but they only got the 25th overall pick in the first round.
I originally felt that this order was enough, but the result was that the Spurs cut off. No wonder Zhang Weiping's face is a bit ugly now.
However, for the overall strength of the Blazers, UU reading www.uukanshu.com does not have much impact. After all, the number of players in the backcourt is still enough.
Richard sighed, and was still taken by Popovich to Parker.
...
Fans should be able to notice that the Blazers' first-round pick this year is 28th. In fact, according to their record, they should be the first-to-last pick in the first round, that is, the first-round pick 29...
It's the 28th sign, there must be a reason.
That is, the Timberwolves were revoked for draft picks, and they were directly revoked for five years!
In 1998, Joe Smith became a free agent. As a result, the Timberwolves reached a yin-yang contract with Joe Smith in order to evade luxury tax penalties. In October last year, this yin-yang contract was exploded, causing Stern to be in flames.
The Timberwolves' first-round draft pick in the next five years was directly eliminated...
The Timberwolves avoided the luxury tax. This kind of behavior was the money of the Black League Management Committee. How could Stern endure it, and directly imposed the severest punishment.
Joe Smith was also fined, forced to become a free agent, and then signed a one-year contract with the Pistons.
That is the piston that Richard now coaches...
The Timberwolves' draft picks were revoked, and of course there were only 28 teams left in the first round.
So this year's second round of the first pick is basically the first round of the 29th pick, and the second pick is the 30th pick.
Richard actually got the second pick from the Warriors, which is the 31st overall pick.
It's just that this year is special, it can be regarded as the 30th...
When the Warriors made the second round of choice, they helped Richard choose Arenas.
Richard then chose Okur with the Pistons' second round pick.
Since this draft meeting, for Richard, even if it is over.
