Bishop of the Devil

Nowadays, the Bullets' quotation for speed is exactly the same as history, it is also Rasheed Wallace plus Mitchell Butler!

In line with the principle of maximizing the value of speeding cars, Richard naturally cannot agree to the bullet so easily!

Because Richard knows very well how much the Bullets crave speed!

If their lineup can get another All-Star point guard, it will be considered perfect. A perfect lineup will be a great temptation for the Bullets, and Richard will definitely kill them!

Moreover, Richard really doesn't like the newcomer Mitchell Butler. He averages close to 15 minutes of playing time per game and only has 4 points and 2 rebounds. The defensive end is not very good...

The key is that he is already a third-year player!

"Carlisle, wait and see. Take a look at their lottery picks tonight. I am more excited about this offer, but they must show higher sincerity, such as using the first-round picks they got in this season's draw. Sign and pack Rashid!”

The Washington Bullets didn't make the playoffs last season, so they will be drawn in tonight's lottery!

The guarantee is also the 13th overall pick!

Richard doesn't like the 18th pick, but to mention it a bit further, even if the Bullets are unlucky enough to get the 13th pick, it will still be a huge temptation for Richard!

Because if he gets the 13th pick, Richard can use this pick to select Kobe!

Or Nash!

Two monumental figures!

Even the super shooter Peja Stojakovic with the 14th pick is an All-Star level shooter!

…

Richard naturally wanted to maximize the value of his speed. If he exchanged bullets for Rasheed Wallace and added a lottery pick, he would undoubtedly make a lot of money!

It is worth mentioning that even if Richard's plan succeeds, what he gets in exchange is not a lottery pick, but to be precise, it is the signing rights of a lottery pick!

The general meaning is that the Bullets help select the rookie Richard wants with lottery picks, and then make a trade!

…

A flying car, in exchange for two All-Stars, is not very profitable!

But what Carlisle said next made Richard's balls ache extremely...

"Li, you may not be paying attention to the situation in the NBA in the NCAA. Last season, the Bullets already traded their first-round pick for this season to the Cavaliers. They will not have a share in this lottery..." Carlisle said regretfully. .

Richard was startled, was he so unlucky? !

That was a 1996 lottery pick. It was extremely valuable, but it was taken away by the Cavaliers? !

And Richard didn't remember what decent players the Cavaliers picked up in 1996, so he guessed that they might have wasted this lottery pick!

Shameful waste!

"Contact them, you can fly if you want, but my bottom line is Rasheed Wallace plus a lottery pick this year!"

"Even if they go to rob me, they still have to rob me of a lottery ticket!"

"Otherwise, even if I let the speedster rot in my hands and sell it to other teams at a low price, I will never give it bullets!"

Richard asked Carlisle to tell the Bullets his bottom line. If he wants to get the speed car, he must meet Richard's conditions!

Carlisle smiled bitterly, his young immediate boss was simply a bandit...

He now understands why the team led by Richard is called the West Lafayette Gang!

To a gentle coach like Carlisle, what Richard said just now is simply outrageous...

He thought about his experience in the industry, and it seemed that he had never seen this kind of temperament in any coach. Do you want to get me a lottery pick? ! This is often heard in gangster movies...

What kind of general leads what kind of soldiers? In other words, "the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked"...

Carlisle can already imagine what kind of temperament the players brought out by Richard will have...

…

At eight o'clock in the evening, the lottery begins!

What makes Richard overjoyed is that history has not changed. The Philadelphia 76ers still got the No. 1 pick, and the two Canadian teams, the Raptors and Grizzlies, got the No. 2 pick and the No. 3 pick respectively!

The Hornets got the last lottery pick with the 13th pick!

It’s exactly the same as Richard’s memory!

Although Richard had anticipated this situation, he still couldn't hold back his excitement at this moment!

If there is any deviation between this draft and his memory, then it is likely that Richard's status as a time traveler will not be able to give him much help...

For example, some players have weak abilities in memory, but in this world they are really awesome...

Without memory bias, a similar situation is unlikely to occur.

Of course, this is not necessarily true. The butterfly effect may cause some players to change their careers and become stronger or weaker. This is possible.

The emergence of Richard now does not actually have any butterfly effect on the NBA, at least not yet. After the West Lafayette gang enters the league, or Richard completes a deal that is different from the historical trajectory. , then the butterfly effect will appear.

As for the young coaches Stevens and Carlisle whose life trajectories have been changed, as assistant coaches, their impact on the direction of the league at this point in time is minimal and can basically be ignored.

Even if Richard completes the deal and the West Lafayette gang enters the alliance, at least there won't be too much of a butterfly effect in three or four years...

But after three or four years, it’s hard to say. Maybe because of the butterfly effect, future five-star warriors will not appear at all!

…

After instructing Carlisle to negotiate with the Bullets, Richard asked Stevens to study the teams in the league that had just received lottery picks and which ones had potential newcomers like Rasheed Wallace...

It is naturally impossible for Richard to hang himself on the Bullets tree. If other teams can come up with a fairly valuable offer, then Richard will definitely not refuse!

The reason why I value the Bullets’ offer more...

In fact, it can be regarded as Richard's collecting habit. If nothing happens, Big Ben will play for Richard again, and Rasheed Wallace will not miss the opportunity.

If you get them all, the Double Wallace combination is achieved...

It's not just Richard who has this quirk. In fact, many people have this kind of collecting habit. They play 2K games or similar basketball games, and many people like to form some historically famous groups...

Now that Richard had this opportunity to satisfy his hobby, he naturally couldn't miss it.

…

After watching the lottery, Carlisle called Jim Lynum, the head coach of the Washington Bullets, the same night and conveyed Richard's original words to Lynum...

And the experienced Carlisle also added a half-month deadline!

This is putting pressure on the Bullets. Anyway, the finals have just started in almost half a month, and there is still a long time before the draft!
