Chapter 706: Go get the big contract

In the evening of the next day, the Pirates played against the Blazers.
There were a lot of fans going to the game to watch the game, but most of them went to Richard.
Because of his location in the East, Richard actually made his appearance in Portland every year.
Only one appearance a year, the Trail Blazers fans will naturally not miss this opportunity.
Even now Richard has left the Blazers for many years, but the glory of the dynasty was always remembered by the Blazers fans.
Especially now that the Pirates are about to establish a dynasty, it makes the Blazers fans sigh. If Richard did not leave the Blazers, how many championship trophies can the Blazers have? !
Eight consecutive championships? Ten consecutive championships? !
Think about it makes people fascinated.
But even if Richard is now the half owner of the Pirates, in the eyes of many fans, Richard may still return to the Trail Blazers one day.
The reason is simple. The relationship between Richard and Paul Allen is not a secret.
Paul Allen has no children. By then, all the properties he has will follow the order of succession, and they will eventually become the property of Richard’s wife, Tiana.
After the Trail Blazers became Tiyana's industry, could Richard take a stand by? Will definitely help the Blazers.
This is what most fans think. They obviously still don’t understand Richard’s ambitions...
...
In the cheers of the fans, this game ended tonight, the Blazers lost 13 points.
Durant scored a super high score of 37 points tonight, and Durant is also the top attacker in the league, but the defense is really a bit unbearable. Under his defense, Granger also scored a 34-point score. Credit...
Paul Allen saw Granger's performance tonight, with a smile on his face and an elegant style of Granger. In his opinion, he was more pleasing than Durant...
Durant doesn't care whether he looks or behaves in style, and he has a strong breath, which is completely unwashable.
Open a trumpet to wash yourself and drink Scarlett’s bath water, especially the protective clothing you wear when you go to the Warriors’ new stadium site. It looks like a foreman at all. How can there be the superstar temperament? ...
But his temperament seemed quite real, not so pretentious.
Paul Allen, a rocker, even if Granger is slightly worse than Durant, he will definitely choose Granger, who will make Granger look good.
...
After the press conference, McMillan took Durant to the post-match press conference.
Durant scored the highest score in the audience tonight, which is naturally the focus of reporters asking questions.
This season is Durant's second season in the league. He has played two-thirds of the schedule this season. He can average 26.1 points per game. The data is quite gorgeous.
For a newcomer, if he can get such data, without looking at his poor defensive efficiency, it seems to be an emperor superstar in the future.
"Kevin, judging from the current momentum, you have a great chance to make the playoffs this season, congratulations in advance." A reporter said to Durant with a smile.
The Blazers are currently ranked sixth in the West, and more than two-thirds of the schedule has passed. If the Blazers are not surprised, they will definitely be able to enter the playoffs this year.
But how can the Trail Blazers care about a region's playoff qualification...
Durant waved his hand, "Entering the finals is not our ultimate goal."
"Our ultimate goal is to win the championship and kill the Pirates!"
"I firmly believe that one day, I will lead the Portland Trail Blazers to kill the Pirates in the finals."
Durant apparently still did not come out of the previous "love hurt", even after so long, he still felt Richard betrayed his feelings.
McMillan on the side, coughed softly, want to remind Durant, don't talk too much, you guys will be sent to the Pirates next year...
Durant certainly doesn't know what he is about to be sold by the Blazers. This is on the Blazers side, and only Paul Allen and McMillan know.
Hearing McMillan's cough, Durant thought McMillan felt his tone was not firm enough, not domineering enough...
"So to speak, I will play the Blazers until the day I defeat the Pirates!"
"Trust me, I have that ability!"
McMillan was embarrassed. He wanted to cover Durant's mouth and told him "No, you don't want to beat the Pirates..."
Durant will become a member of the Pirates next year, and McMillan can already think of Durant's embarrassing expression in the face of the pirates next year.
No, you don’t have to wait for next year, maybe in less than half a year, the transaction between Durant and Oden can be completed.
It was not long before the front foot said that he would lead the team to kill the Pirates. The back foot was directly sold to the Pirates. McMillan suddenly sympathized with Durant.
...
"Kevin, if you now have a chance to join the Pirates, would you choose to join them?" A reporter didn't know if his mind was opened by God, and suddenly asked a wonderful question.
"Do not!"
"no way!"
"I will never choose to join the Pirates, I will never play for Richard!"
McMillan coughed aside, and he looked at Durant sympathetically. This kid is going to be unlucky...
Even if Richard does not look for this kid, when the kid arrives at the Pirates, the pirates will probably not give him a good look.
...
Only after Richard returned to the hotel did he realize what Durant said at the press conference tonight.
This time Du's second child probably didn't even dream of dreaming that he had been sold to Richard by Paul Allen.
Think of Durant joining the Pirates next season, Richard thinks it is quite interesting.
If you wait for 11 years and then take down the 11th pick Klay Thompson, then Richard is equivalent to having a Warriors dynasty lineup.
Of course, this dynasty lineup made by Richard must be a lot more luxurious than the Warriors.
In the backcourt, the two brothers, the small forward Durant, although the power forward position did not chase Green, but there is a Milicic. Milicic’s defensive end is not as good as chasing, but other aspects are better than chasing the egg. many.
As for Cousins ​​worth a coin, don’t mention it...
The only difference is that the players are younger and their strength has not reached their peak.
However, when 11 years later, Durant and Curry may have reached the peak, that is, Tang Shen, who just joined the team, the strength will be almost.
But it is also harmless, Roy is still in the team after all.
...
After this wave of away matches, Richard felt he should talk to Granger.
The Granger right now is actually quite anxious. He naturally wants to stay with the Pirates.
No one will have the crazy idea of ​​leaving the Pirates.
If you stay with the Pirates, the player can have everything he wants...
After winning the championship this year, Granger is also one of the dynasty players, but who would dislike his championship and have more championships, it must be better.
Why are there so many Hall of Famers and fifty superstars in the history of the Green Team? In fact, because of the eight consecutive championships they made, many players became famous.
If there is no such eight consecutive championship bonus, some of them may also be regarded as stars, but there is certainly no current historical status.
...
Granger actually wants to chat with Richard now, if possible, he is willing to reduce some salaries, and strive to stay in the Pirates.
...
"Coach, are you looking for me?" Granger pushed the door into Richard's office.
"Well, sit down, Danny, my lad." Richard actually liked Granger very much, and he couldn't bear to let Granger go.
No one would hate Granger as a gentle and polite player. The key to this player's strength is still quite powerful.
Granger sat down in front of Richard, somewhat restrained.
In Granger's view, Richard is like a mythical character. Although he has played for Richard for a short time, he rarely has such an opportunity to talk to Richard alone.
"Danny, are you wondering why the team didn't renew your sign with you?"
Granger nodded, feeling a little nervous. It seemed that Richard was looking for himself today to talk about it.
"Coach, I am willing to lower my salary!"
"I got a big contract with Nike, Dakota can cut the salary, I can also cut the salary, give me a Dakko level contract, I will stay in the Pirates."
Granger didn't wait for Richard to continue to speak, but he started his own courage.
Richard was stunned. He had originally thought about how to tell Granger that the team would give up on him, but now Granger's words made Richard unable to speak.
...
After a moment of silence, Richard sighed.
"Young man, you are the young man I want to be optimistic about, I know you are reluctant to leave the pirates."
"However, I will not promise you a salary cut."
"Dakco's things are special. You can't be like him. There are many teams in the league that are suitable for you, where you can play a greater value and become a higher star in the league~EbookFREE.me~ But..." Granger wanted to say something, but Richard interrupted him directly.
"Don't say anything, get out of your big contract next season."
"You are a real top-paid player, even if you give you a dime less, it is also an insult to you. I will never insult you!"
Richard said with a smile.
Granger's face hurts, and he would rather Richard insult himself...
His temperament is also more introverted. If he transfers to other teams, the re-establishment of friendship with his teammates only makes him a headache.
This is one reason why he really wanted to stay with the Pirates.
But now Richard's words make Granger realize that his pirate career is over.
By the next season, he is no longer a pirate.
