Chapter 783: Clippers new season lineup

The draft conference is over. In the next few months, Richard will be more relaxed, and there is no work to do.
Taking advantage of this time, Richard accompanied his wife and children well...
At present, the three boys are more than six years old. Richard used the height-growth pharmacy for Li Jin before, so Li Jin’s height has risen a lot in the past six months, but there is still a big gap compared to Li Bit .
According to Richard's estimation, after Li Jin and others have made full strides, their height is probably between 190-195, which is almost exactly the height of playing No. 1.
And Li Bit is definitely the height to play the center...
After waiting for the time to enter July, Richard also took a few days to start preparing for player signing.
Eddie Curry's contract with the little shark expired, and Richard was naturally impossible to renew the contract.
However, the Little Shark did not fail to find a job. In the Clippers this season, he has 13 points and 8 rebounds per game. There are still many teams who want to introduce him as a backup center.
Of course, the shark can play such data, it is purely the effect of prop blessing, no matter which team wants to sign him, in the end, it is definitely facing the situation of flying chicken eggs.
Originally, the Thunder was thinking of signing a small shark, but was blocked by Richard. Anyway, the Thunder is also his own. Richard does not want to eat such a big loss.
In the end, the little shark was signed by the Eastern Cavalry Cavaliers. Of course, the contract amount was not large, only 12 million US dollars in two years. Anyway, the Cavaliers have a lot of salary space, and they don’t care about losing this money.
...
There is only one year left in Camby’s contract. Richard has no choice but to squeeze his nose to recognize it, or not even recognize it. If Camby’s ten-million-level contract is not supported, the Clippers’ salary is now Not even the poor ghost line, even if Horford was given a top salary, not counting Camby's ten million annual salary contract, nor the poor ghost line.
On Horford's side, Richard did not give a top salary offer, but gave a five-year contract of 65 million US dollars, an average of about 13 million US dollars a year.
This contract is actually good, which is a bit higher than the 60 million USD contract that the Hawks gave under normal circumstances.
Horford is also very interesting. In the face of Richard's first offer, he agreed without saying anything, and did not wait for the offer that other teams might give.
In his view, this contract is actually quite good. Even if other teams open a contract, it is unlikely to be given too high. Anyway, it is unlikely to give a Durant-level contract.
Durant also renewed his contract with the Pirates this year, with a five-year contract of $85 million in salary...
Fortunately, at the time, Richard and Milicic signed a relatively low contract amount, which allowed the Pirates to renew Durant tightly. Otherwise, Jordan would have no place to cry right now.
...
Remaining under Richard, Horford feels that he will certainly be able to achieve some of the dream achievements of other players.
And this is in Los Angeles, who doesn’t want to stay in Los Angeles?
The excellent contract amount, plus other factors, eventually made Horford stay without hesitation.
The four newcomers Richard took this year also signed with the Clippers.
In the first round of Tang Shen, Leonard and Malaysian Monkey, the contract did not say that they were all first-round contracts, and Richard did not want to be special.
As for the Thomas contract, Richard directly gave a four-year contract, which was signed according to the salary of the 30th pick of the first round of the Malaysian monkey.
This contract directly gave Thomas a touch of dying for his soulmate...
He was just a player who was on the verge of being lost. As a result, Richard gave a treatment for the first round of the show. How could he not be moved?
And once this contract is given, it also means that Richard attaches great importance to himself. I am afraid that the days of the Clippers are much better than expected.
After all, if Richard does not pay attention to himself, he cannot give such a contract, unless the money in Richard's hands is really nowhere to be spent...
Richard gave Thomas a four-year contract, which is naturally for the purpose of saving money. If, according to normal circumstances, signing Thomas for two or three years, then Richard will pay a lot of money at that time...
...
Horford's contract was signed, and the contract for the four newcomers was finalized.
Then Dazhi also signed a contract with the Clippers, signed a two-year base salary contract of 4.6 million US dollars...
The reason why Da Zhi came to the Clippers was that one was to get a championship ring before the end of his career, and the second was to get a better education for his son.
In fact, Wang Xilin was born in Los Angeles and is an American citizen...
In the case of nationality, some fans will feel that Da Zhi let his son be a bit of a "counter forgotten ancestor" in American citizenship, but Richard thinks it's nothing.
Dazhi must also think that his son will be able to walk on the basketball road in the future, and the basketball environment in the United States is much better than China, and he can participate in various regular games when he is small. In this case, for his son Under the circumstances of better development, Da Zhi let his son naturalize in the United States, in fact, nothing.
Who doesn’t want his son to have a good future...
In addition to Da Zhi, what surprised Richard this time was that Tracy McGrady even made a base salary vote.
Last season, McGrady held a base salary of $1.35 million in the Pistons. At the moment, the contract is over. In the current state of McGrady, he will either retire directly or only find a team to mix the base salary...
In this case, it is natural to return to Richard to attract McGrady.
My career started with Richard, and now it ends with Richard. It's a good story.
For McGrady's application to join, Richard naturally agreed without hesitation.
Although McGrady actually doesn't have any good performance on the court now, and has little impact on the team's combat effectiveness, but after all, as long as the basic salary of more than one million US dollars, such a cheap price, don't do nothing.
In this way, the Clippers lineup next season will be very clear.
Horford, Big Zhi, McGrady, Sun Yue, Leonard, Thompson, Parsons, Thomas Thomas, Camby, Monroe.
In addition to these ten players, there are still some players in the Clippers' original lineup. Richard should be retired, and eventually there are four left.
These four players can’t sell, and it’s not necessary to buy them out. They simply stay on the team now and use them.
With 14 players identified, Richard is looking forward to the next season.
Although the current lineup wants to win the championship, it must be a fool's dream, but even if it can't win the championship, Richard will also play as good as possible this season.
After all, the Clippers' 12-year first-round picks weren't in hand. No matter what the final record was, the first-round draft didn't have their share.
...
Speaking of this lineup, in fact, Richard must not be very satisfied.
There are too many people available for the forward position, but there are some players who can use the inside and the first position.
The inside now available is Horford plus Monroe, Monroe is playing center, Horford is playing power forward.
As for the number one player, the only one Richard can have right now is Thomas Jr....
Some frontline guards are overcrowded.
Under such circumstances, Richard had to find a way to adjust, he immediately thought of Sun Yue.
"Coach, are you looking for me? Hey..." Sun Yue pushed the door into Richard's office and smiled.
"Yes, I want to talk to you about something." Richard said to Sun Yue to sit down.
"Does your kid want to get a regular honor with gold content?" Richard asked, knocking on the table.
Sun Yue was stunned. Does the regular season have gold honors? Good guy, could the coach let him compete for the regular season MVP? !
Think, this is naturally thinking, fools do not want MVP.
"Think, coach, I think too much!" Sun Yue said with excitement, excited.
"Just think about it, I'm afraid you don't want to..." Richard nodded.
"Okay, then I'll put you in the bench next, you work hard to get the best sixth man this season!"
"Karma?" Sun Yue's eyes were staring...
Dare not the regular season MVP, but the best sixth man? Good guy, is he on the bench now?
To know that he entered the All-Star team last season, this season will be a substitute?
Thinking of Sun Yue's pain here, although the best sixth man is indeed a regular-season honor with gold content, but the premise is to play the bench...
Who would want to play the bench if he can start?
"Why, unwilling?" Richard asked Sun Yue with a bitter look on his face and couldn't help asking with a smile.
"No, I am willing to..." Sun Yue was a little insincere.
"Don't be unwilling, in fact, it's not as bad as you think, as long as you have enough playing time."
"I will guarantee your time, not too little."
"Look at the Spurs' Ginobili, who is also a substitute, but people can score for the All-Star team. I hope you can learn well."
Sun Yue can only promise now...
The reason why Richard made Sun Yue play the bench was actually to give Tang Shen and Xiaoka more opportunities for tempering.
In the future basketball, forwards and defenders will be the top priority for a team to win the championship. It is impossible for Richard to put Bao on Sun Yue. This is extremely irrational.
It is also Richard's helpless move to let Sun Yue play the bench...
Not surprisingly, the Clippers' starting lineup next season will be: center Monroe, power forward Horford, small forward Leonard, point guard Thompson and point guard Thomas Thomas.
This lineup reminded Richard of the lineup under normal circumstances.
This is the Green Kai of the 16-17 season coached by Stevens.
The starting lineup for this Green Kay is Horford, Amir Johnson, Bradley, Claude and Thomas Jr.
In the case of not being optimistic all the way, this Green Kai reached the Eastern Conference finals, which is considered Stevens's famous work.
Looking at the lineup, the Clippers' lineup is similar to this one.
The first position is all Thomas.
Claude 3 is a 3D type small forward player, compared with Leonard now. Avery Bradley in the second position, although not comparable to Thompson, but the defense of these two is quite good, but Bradley is only 188 cm tall, far from Thompson on the defensive end flexibility.
Sometimes ~EbookFREE.me~ Thompson can even defend from position 1 to position 4.
As for the inside, this Clipper has many similarities with Green Kai.
At this point of view, Richard feels that his tactics for the new season do not need to think about, just copy Stevens's tactical system on Green Kai.
However, although the lineup is similar, the same tactical system may be used in the future, but Richard is convinced that the future achievements of this Clippers will be much higher than that of the Green Kai.
There is no reason for him, and the gap between the players on the front and back is too big.
Bradley is a good player, but when compared with Tang Shen, there is absolutely no comparability. Tang Shen can contribute much more than Bradley in the game.
As for Claude and Leonard, it is even more incomparable, and it is not a player of the same grade.
In this case, the two teams obviously have the ultimate potential not at the same level...
