Chapter 60: Finalize to join the Trail Blazers

　　With Richard’s knowledge of the Trail Blazers, it’s not unreasonable for them to play in the first round of the playoffs...
　　 The reason is insufficient strength!
　　To break the current embarrassing situation of the first round of games, the team must either introduce a superstar or completely rebuild!
　　How can superstars be so easy to introduce, in today's league can be called superstars, that is Jordan, Dream, Admiral, Gorilla Ewing, Malone, Barkley plus a young O'Neill...
　　And among these players, O'Neill has a slightly introduced opportunity, and no one else has to think about it.
　　 The cost of introducing O'Neill is extremely alarming, and O'Neill is not necessarily willing to come to a city like Portland.
　　 The urban area has a population of less than half a million, and a city of this size can hardly be said to be prosperous.
　　……
　　When it comes to reversing and rebuilding, this Richard is relatively good, plus a lot of high-quality chips in the team, Richard is confident to create a new force with unlimited potential!
　　 But since it is a new force, that is, combat power, it is definitely not as good as those teams whose core players are in the golden peak. If you want to win the championship in one or two years, it is definitely not realistic...
　　Like the Timberwolves and Philadelphia 76ers after the reconstruction, they can definitely be regarded as talented, but there is still a short distance from the championship.
　　Paul Allen is not a kind of layman who knows nothing. He knows that it is difficult to make a decent record in the empty window period after rebuilding, so he gave a more graceful time!
　　 Three years past the first round of the playoffs, four years into the Western Conference!
　　 Such a goal, Richard is quite confident...
　　 Of course, the tasks assigned by the boss must be guaranteed goals. If possible, Richard will definitely shorten this time as much as possible, such as passing the first round in two years and scoring in the Western Conference in three years...
　　……
　　Thinking of this, Richard couldn't help but smile bitterly...
　　 In the NCAA, Richard wanted to play for ten consecutive championships, really like playing, but after reaching the NBA, he could only set his goal in the second round of the playoffs...
　　NCAA does not have to worry too much about Richard, but the NBA does not. Other than that, trading this item alone is enough to make Richard lose his head!
　　……
　　 "Yes!" Richard nodded and said...
　　 He really couldn't find any reason not to choose the Blazers. No matter from which point of view, the Blazers are extremely suitable.
　　 saw Richard nodded, and Paul Allen showed a surprise on his face, although he had expected that Richard would not refuse a sincere self...
　　 But in an instant, Paul Allen's face showed a puzzled expression...
　　 It seems that until Richard nodded and agreed to join the Trail Blazers, they had not talked about any salary between them.
　　 "Li, don't talk about salary?"
　　 "Give it at will, talk about money and hurt feelings, haha!" Richard said with a smile.
Regarding salary, Richard actually doesn't really care much. It's up to the sky, that is, four or five million US dollars, and if it is said less, Richard's limelight in the past two years will not be less than 300. Million.
　　Thousand wins coach Wilkens is only five million US dollars. If his salary is too high than Wilkens, it will not be impossible for other coaches to be angry...
　　The NBA coaching group is not the same as the NCAA coaching group...
　　 NCAA coaches, most of them are academic coaches, that is really based on strength, if there is no strength, there is no job at all!
　　In the NBA coaching community, more than half of them rely not on strength, but on their connections and relationships. The factions are intertwined, and a small group may be able to provoke a group of enemies.
　　The fierce conflict with Larry Brown a few days ago, Richard can feel that he may have caused a faction...
　　Larry Brown's network in the league is still very broad. Not to mention, now Spurs general manager Popovich has worked as an assistant under Larry Brown.
　　This time Richard is preparing to enter the NBA, in theory, the Spurs are unlikely to be indifferent. Their current coach Bob Hill’s performance is not satisfactory, at least not to satisfy Popovich...
　　 In this case, they have no reason not to contact Richard.
　　 But they just didn’t, and they didn’t even invite Richard to be a teaching assistant...
　　 The only explanation is that Popovich is not going to have any relationship with Richard's rival, Larry Brown!
　　Before entering the league, Richard provokes a group of forces in the NBA that cannot be ignored, which is really not good news.
　　……
　　 "Then four million dollars in four years!" Paul Allen gave Richard a top salary in the current NBA coaching group without saying a word.
　　Richard nodded, originally thinking whether to let Paul Allen reduce this salary...
　　Thinking about it, this kind of request is actually a little neuropathic, and it just doesn't matter.
　　……
　　 "Okay, Lee, we will sign the contract when the season ends!"
　　 "There are still other things, I want to talk to you, just wait for the contract and then talk about it..."
　　Richard nodded, and did not ask what happened.
　　Joining the Blazers is basically finalized~EbookFREE.me~ The next step is to wait for this season to end, Richard can sign with the Blazers...
　　And the next time waiting for the signing of the contract, Richard still has extremely important things to do!
　　That is to recruit your own coaching staff!
　　 own coaching staff!
　　 The role of the coaching team can't be ignored, especially the pioneers formed by Richard, there will be many newcomers in the team, and the role of the coaching team will be more prominent!
　　Under normal circumstances, the coaching staff consists of a head coach, a chief assistant, and multiple assistants with optional special assistants.
　　 The head coach is naturally Richard. The head coach's English translation is head-coach. From this word, it can be seen that the head coach is the brain of the coaching staff and is responsible for steering the general direction.
　　 The energy is limited. When the head coach is at the helm, the other members of the coaching staff are responsible for assisting the head coach and helping the head coach share some detailed work.
　　The chief assistant is also called the deputy head coach. He is responsible for participating in the formulation of offensive and defensive tactics and system construction, and is also the position of the general manager.
　　The following teaching assistants have a lot more specific assignments. Some of them are dedicated to offensive tactics, some are dedicated to defensive tactics, and others are dedicated to players shooting...
　　 The number of people varies, depending on the needs of the head coach.
　　 As for special teaching assistants, there is little sense of existence, such as psychological tutors, career planning tutors, etc. Some team coaches simply do not have these positions, but the team itself recruits relevant personnel...
　　Although there is no hard requirement for the number of people, in order to carry out the work normally, the number of coaches in the team should be no less than four.
　　That is to say, in the next period of time, Richard must find four assistants!
