Bishop of the Devil

After picking up Zhang Weiping, Richard was wondering if there would be some stories between Weiping Bryant and Kobe Bryant that had to be told...

After all, the two are now on the same team and get along day and night...

…

The Summer League schedule is very short, only about two weeks!

In the past two weeks, Carlisle would have a phone call with Richard after every game to report on the performance of the players in the game.

Richard naturally appreciates Carlisle's dedicated professional attitude, and he deserves that such a coach will succeed in the future...

A total of six games were played, and the performance of the players was pretty good, at least in terms of statistics.

Kobe averaged 22 points per game. Compared with Richard's memory, Kobe averaged 25 points per game when he first participated in the summer league. It was a bit lower, but it was still acceptable.

In the match against Hu Weidong, Kobe Bryant scored 21 points, while Hu Weidong scored 31 points, which was similar to the matchup in history.

The performance of several other people is also good...

Winning all six games is a happy event.

But this doesn’t mean anything. The Summer League lineup sent by the Trail Blazers this time can be called a luxury...

Most of the main players are first-round picks, including Rasheed Wallace, a high-ranking rookie who has played for one year. It is normal to win against other participating teams... …

Richard didn't care too much about the results of the summer league. He was now focused on selling Ryder, and then focused all his energy on preparing for the offseason training of the new players and preparing for the preseason.

…

Speaking of which, it is actually not difficult at all to trade Leder for a first-round pick...

Not to mention other teams, if Richard really proposes to trade Leder to the Jazz, the current Western Conference overlord, in exchange for their first-round pick next year, their head coach Jerry Sloan will probably regard Richard as a big player. Savior…

Maybe the gap between the Jazz and the Bulls is only one Leder...

Utah doubles as shooting guard Hornacek, and Leder plays small forward. This lineup is simply delicious...

As for Leder's character, no matter how crazy this guy is, he will probably have to shrink back when he plays under the evil hands of Utah!

You must know that when the Bulls beat the Jazz, it was by no means a defeat. The result was always 4:2. The Jazz had Ryder with outstanding scoring ability...

It is really possible to change the history of the Bulls dynasty!

But Richard was unwilling to sell Ryder at such a low price, because the Jazz's first-round pick was really worthless, and the top three picks in the second round would probably not be of much use.

Moreover, the Jazz and the Trail Blazers are on the same Western Conference team. If the Jazz really rise like this, Richard's life will be difficult in the future...

What if we meet the Jazz in the first round of the playoffs?

Having your head shaved looks ugly...

Therefore, Richard directly targeted the weak teams in the East. This is the best place for Ryder!

There are currently about six teams in the Eastern Conference that can be called weak, namely the Hornets, Celtics, Raptors, Bucks, Nets and 76ers!

Or you can simply say that the teams in the Eastern Conference that cannot make the playoffs are all weak...

Because the Eastern Conference in this era is too strong. It is one of the few eras in the entire history of the NBA where the Eastern Conference was strong and the Western Conference was weak. The Suns, who ranked seventh in the Western Conference last season, could not make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference...

The teams at the bottom of the Eastern Conference have never seen hope of entering the playoffs, so they naturally become weak!

Strictly speaking, the Raptors cannot be said to be weak. After all, they have just joined the league not long ago, so it is normal for them to have a poor record.

Richard first excluded the Philadelphia 76ers from the list...

Because the Philadelphia 76ers now have Iverson and Stackhouse in the backcourt, they haven't figured out who should control the ball, and they probably don't want to have another backcourt...

Next, the Bucks were excluded. Richard was disgusted with this team. This may be because they were disgusted with Richard at the beginning, or it may be because Richard wrote too much about the Bucks in his previous life...

With the remaining four teams, Richard first contacted Cali Perry, who had a good relationship with him. However, the Nets had no shortage of forwards and swingmen. They had Barry on the team. Moreover, Cali Perry, as an academic coach, had a lot of experience with Lyrics. A wild player like Del is extremely cold-blooded!

I'm afraid that even if the Nets are short of manpower, he probably won't consider Leder.

These coaches who came out of college enjoyed the majesty of a local emperor in college. No player dared to rebel in front of them, so they resented problematic players like Leder...

Next, Richard contacted Green Kai, but they were not interested. The reason was that the entire alliance knew that Green Kai was going to fight for Duncan...

…

Fortunately for Richard, the remaining Hornets and Raptors were very interested in Ryder.

The Raptors really accept everyone who comes. They have just joined the league for a season and they are lacking everything. Ryder, who averages 20 points per game, is a huge temptation for them!

But what makes Richard hate it is that the Raptors are unwilling to give up their first-round pick...

The bargaining chip they gave to trade Leder was, in addition to next year's first-round pick, plus the newly signed rookie Fatty Walker who could not be traded, the Blazers could choose any other...

Richard was so angry on the spot, it makes you Raptors so rich, what else can you have besides these two things...

Just pick whatever you want...

Why don't you just pick from a pile of junk?

This is not a raptor, it's just a brave beast, it's just eating and not eating!

On the other hand, the Hornets, who are the victims of this draft, are very happy...

After they got Divac, they also wanted to go big and see if they could achieve some results in the Eastern Conference.

First-round picks are available!

But there are conditions!

The Hornets want to take Dell Curry and their first-round pick protected in the top five picks next year in exchange for Leder and Trail Blazers veteran "Buck" Buck Williams!

To describe Buck Williams, it may be more appropriate to add an All-Star in front of the veteran!

This is an All-Star player who is older than Jordan. He entered the NBA in 1981 and has been playing until now. He has been selected to the All-Star three times, won the Best Rookie of the Year, was selected to the Best Second Team and many times the Best Player. Defensive first team and second team!

Maybe many fans don't know about this all-star from ancient times. After all, it's too old.

But if you think about Big Ben, you can almost appreciate the veteran's style at his peak.

Generally speaking, at their peak, the Bucks were able to improve their offense and rebound and slightly weaken their defense to the same level...

More similar to Ben, he is also a short insider, only 203 centimeters tall!
