Richard also felt that the offer given by the Grizzlies was at a disadvantage and could not maximize the team's interests!

As for the Timberwolves, the offer they made made Richard recall some things about Garnett in his previous life...

Looking directly at the quotation of the Timberwolves, anyone would probably have the idea that the Timberwolves management is out of their minds!

They are willing to use the team's scoring leader Isiah Leder and a second-round fourth pick in exchange for the Trail Blazers' James Robinson, Aaron McGee, and Bill Curley...

When Richard saw this offer, he thought the Timberwolves were playing tricks on him...

But after recalling it carefully, he remembered that in 1996, in addition to trading for Rasheed Wallace, the Trail Blazers actually got the Timberwolves' scoring leader Leder...

Of course, in my memory, the bargaining chips used by the Trail Blazers to trade Leder were James Robinson, Bill Curley and the 1997 first-round pick...

But this time the Timberwolves' offer did not include a future first-round pick, but instead asked for two potential newcomers from the Trail Blazers. McGee is still the starting shooting guard of the Trail Blazers, plus Colley, who has considerable immediate combat ability. A good starting forward!

Fortunately, the Timberwolves did not ask for draft picks in this offer. Otherwise, Richard would have refused without saying a word. His own draft picks were not enough, so where could he find draft picks for the Timberwolves...

However, even though the Timberwolves did not ask for a first-round pick, the offer this time is actually basically the same as the offer in normal history...

Aaron McGee's value is almost equivalent to that of a non-lottery first-round pick.

The second-year McGee last season was able to score 11 points while averaging 47 field goals per game, and this was achieved as a semi-substitute. It looks like his potential is quite good...

These two players are of very good value, otherwise the Timberwolves would not be willing to trade for the team's scoring leader!

Of course, Richard, who has a God's perspective, knows that these two players are actually just that. They look good, but they have not developed much in the following seasons. At best, they can only maintain the current level. That's all...

Some people may wonder, is the Timberwolves management out of their minds? Trading the team’s leading scorer? !

In fact, when Richard thought about this, he felt that the Timberwolves management was out of their minds...

But when you think about Garnett proving himself through a season and being established as the cornerstone of the team, then this matter is understandable!

Leder is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he had a very unhappy time with Garnett last season!

In this case, the team must make a decision, whether to sell the scoring leader Leder or the cornerstone Garnett!

Although Leder is the team's scoring leader, his scoring average is not particularly exaggerated, only 19.7 points. In this case, the Timberwolves naturally chose the cornerstone Garnett...

This situation is more similar to the later Cavaliers, the struggle between James and Ricky Davis...

Before James came, Ricky Davis was the boss of the team. However, because he could not get along with the cornerstone James, Davis was directly traded...

This is the case with Leder now. Because he cannot coexist with Garnett, the Timberwolves decided to sell him!

…

"Carlisle, what do you think of these quotes?" Richard asked Carlisle.

As the chief assistant coach, Carlisle naturally wanted to help Richard like Stevens. In some aspects, Richard still had to listen to Carlisle's ideas.

"I think the Timberwolves' offer is a good choice!" Carlisle said with a smile.

After Richard heard the offer from the Timberwolves, while he was pondering, Carlisle already knew that among these offers, Richard's favorite was the Timberwolves...

The young coach Stevens on the side also nodded: "BOSS, I also think the offer from the Timberwolves is good!"

"Oh? Brad, do you think the Timberwolves are good too? Tell me what you think?" Richard looked at the young marshal with a smile. He wanted to see what Stevens, who didn't have God's perspective, think about the forest. What is your opinion on the quotation?

Richard has a God's perspective, so he naturally knows the quality of a deal, and may even consider more long-term considerations, such as what impact this deal will have on the team in the next few years.

"BOSS, first of all, it is imperative for the Timberwolves to trade Leder. Judging from their offer, they are very sincere and are not as open as the Lions!"

"Their offer is exactly what we need, a shooting guard who averages close to 20 points per game and a high second-round draft pick!"

"And if I'm not wrong, BOSS, your purpose for asking for this second-round pick is..."

"Get Ben Wallace!"

Richard was stunned. This guy is simply a monster. Can you guess this? !

Carlisle on the side also looked at Marshal Stevens in surprise...

Carlisle was originally curious as to why Richard would find an assistant like Stevens. He was so young, not even much older than Carlisle's son...

All this time, Stevens has not done anything serious in the coaching staff, he has only been playing tricks...

Basically, he plays the role of Richard's personal assistant!

Carlisle also doubted whether Stevens had a close relationship with Richard. Otherwise, an annual salary of half a million dollars would require a personal assistant? !

But now Stevens' words opened Carlisle's eyes!

In fact, Carlisle once wondered why Richard had to ask for a second-round pick. The deal with the Bullets was in progress. If nothing else happens, the Blazers will have two first-round picks in the upcoming draft. rights, and a second-round pick with the 47th overall pick...

This is enough!

Later, Carlisle carefully studied Richard's deeds in the past two years, and surprisingly discovered this point!

After thinking carefully, I finally guessed Richard's intention.

He didn't expect that a 21-year-old kid could see through Richard's intentions at a glance!

This is not a 21-year-old child, this is simply an old monster!

"Keep talking, Brad..." Richard asked Stevens to continue talking with encouraging eyes.

"Besides, if we get Leder, we can use it for ourselves. After all, the Trail Blazers currently don't have a strong shooting guard. Of course, we can also sell Leder, just like we sold Strickland!"

Richard applauded, his idea coincided with Stevens, and the Timberwolves' offer was completely acceptable to Richard.
