Bishop of the Devil

No matter how you look at it, it is extremely beneficial for Big Ben to be selected by Richard in the second round. It is no wonder that Big Ben insists on making a showy move!

But it's not without risks. If the top pick is picked before the 17th pick in the second round, it will be troublesome!

So now Richard must find a way to solve this risk!

trade!

Trade the 47th pick in your hand upwards, and at least get a top-five second-round pick!

Or get a second-round pick in the top five picks in other ways!

According to the memory from his previous life, Richard picked out five teams. If nothing else, these five teams are the top five pick winners this year!

And they naturally also won the top five picks in the second round!

76ers, Raptors, Grizzlies, Bucks and Timberwolves!

The next afternoon, Richard called Carlisle and Stevens. In addition to trading up second-round picks, today is also the day of the NBA lottery, which is important to every NBA practitioner. , are absolutely not to be missed.

The birth of each lottery pick may change the pattern of the league in the next twenty years!

"Li, among the quotes given to you by the teams a few days ago, do you think any of them are suitable?" Carlisle asked directly after he arrived.

Richard shook his head. The ones quoted by these teams were naturally the Blazers' star players!

The five teams that could quote were quite insincere, which made Richard feel dissatisfied!

The Eastern Conference powerhouse Hawks offered Ray Jordan, Spot Webb, and this year's 18th overall pick!

It seems that this offer is quite sincere. It is Jordan, Webber and a first-round pick...

But this Jordan and Webber, multiplied by ten times, probably can’t exchange for a Chris Webber, let alone Jordan...

The 18th overall first-round pick is really worthless for Richard!

If tonight's lottery picks follow the normal historical trajectory, then Richard will not be able to arouse any interest in the players after the 18th pick!

Although the 1996 draft is said to be the draft that produced the most stars, except for the undrafted Ben, there were no counterattacks by low-ranked rookies in this draft...

None of the second-round picks were successful. The most outstanding performer was Jeff McGinnis, the 38th overall pick. However, he played in the NBA for 11 years and averaged only 9 points per game despite frequent convulsions... …

The most outstanding one, McGinnis, only had 9 points. It can be imagined that the other second-round picks, most of them only survived in the league for one or two years...

And even in the first round, the strongest stars appear in the first half, before the fifteenth pick!

In the second half, from the 16th to the 30th picks, only O'Neal Jr. with the 17th pick, Big Z Ilgauskas with the 20th pick, and veteran fisherman Fisher with the 24th pick...

Of course, it's actually not very appropriate for Lao Yu to appear here. After all, he has never been selected as an All-Star in his career.

In terms of strength, Laoyu certainly has it, but there is definitely still a big gap compared to the stars...

If you calculate it this way, with the Hawks' 18th overall pick, all Richard can really choose is a big Z!

Big Z's strength is naturally not bad. He was a two-time All-Star. After his retirement, his jersey was retired by the Cavaliers. He has a perfect career!

But the key now is that Richard can't use Big Z...

O'Neal Jr. is already a confirmed candidate, and if nothing unexpected happens, Ben will also join the Trail Blazers!

With these two insiders, and Sabonis in the team, if we need a big Z, there is really no place to arrange...

Of course, if Richard really has a lot of draft picks, he might take advantage of the situation and win the big Z, but now the draft picks are really not abundant, and what Richard lacks most is the draft picks!

In addition to the Hawks, the Milwaukee Bucks also made an offer...

But with the Bucks' offer, Richard felt that they were definitely disgusting him.

John Newman plus a second-round pick, this is nothing but disgusting Richard...

Bucks head coach Mike Dunleavy probably thinks, don't you want to sell Vin Baker and Douglas? We won't sell it, we are here to disgust you...

Regarding the Bucks team, Richard is really at a loss for words!

…

The remaining three teams are not very sincere, and Richard is not satisfied with their offers!

In Richard's view, except for the Bucks who came here specifically to disgust people, the remaining four teams all had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation. They didn't have much sincerity to trade the speedster at all!

"Li, this is the quotation that the Washington Bullets just submitted to us this morning. Do you think you are satisfied with this quotation?" Carlisle smiled and handed the Bullets quotation to Richard.

Carlisle naturally knew that the previous quotations from the five teams were all nonsense, but as an assistant coach, he would definitely show the quotations to Richard, just in case Richard had other ideas...

"Oh? Are they willing to use Rasheed Wallace as the subject of the transaction? This is quite reasonable!" Richard nodded and said with a smile after reading the bullet quotation.

In fact, Richard also knew that under normal historical circumstances, the Trail Blazers would have traded Rasheed Wallace with a flying car during this offseason...

In the 1995 draft, Rashid was selected by the Bullets with the fourth overall pick in the first round. Naturally, his ability is incredible, but it is difficult for him to get too many performance opportunities in the Bullets...

Although he has played the starting position for more than half a season, he only averages more than eight shots per game, averaging only about 10 points and 5 rebounds per game...

And in fact, this is the starting opportunity that Chris Webber got only after he was reimbursed for the season. If Webber had not been reimbursed, Rasheed probably wouldn't be able to get a starting opportunity...

The Bullets' interior configuration is quite luxurious, with Chris Webber and Juwan Howard, these two All-Star level insiders are there, and Rasheed has naturally become the Bullets' number one trade target!

Speaking of which, the Bullets' lineup is extremely amazing. Not to mention their two All-Star-level insiders, the forwards and defenders are also full of talents, including guard Robert Parker who averages 18 points per game, Chaney who averages about 15 points per game, and Murray. mulberry!

Just imagine adding an All-Star point guard in Speedy Strickland, the Bullets' lineup is really scary!

The biggest reason why their record was so bad last season was that Webber was reimbursed for the season and backcourt Parker was reimbursed for the season. Otherwise, with their lineup, they would not be unable to make the playoffs...

The Bullets in history packed up Rasheed Wallace and another rookie in their team, Mitchell Butler, from the Trail Blazers in exchange for Speedy Strickland!

In the first season after the deal was completed, they made it back to the playoffs after eight years...

Although after entering the playoffs, they were directly eliminated by the Bulls in the first round, being able to enter the playoffs is still a big improvement for the Bullets...
