Bishop of the Devil

There is no doubt that the Hornets' offer is sincere, and they are not as open as the Lions.

Although Buck Buck has a brilliant career, and even when he retires, his jersey will be retired by the Nets, but now Buck has played in the league for fifteen seasons, and there is not much energy left in his body...

Currently, Buck is in the Trail Blazers, averaging only about 7+6 per game...

But even though Buck's strength has shrunk a lot compared to his peak, Richard has never thought of trading him away.

It just so happens that the Trail Blazers currently have many inside players. Having Buck, an experienced veteran, will definitely benefit Ben and others!

The reason why the Hornets want Buck, Richard guesses, is also to continue to strengthen the shortcomings of the strong forward. This kind of operation is common in the NBA and is not unusual.

They used next year's first-round pick in exchange for Ryder, a swingman who averaged nearly 20 points per game. Naturally, the team's old backup shooting guard Dell Curry was of little use, so he just used it for trade...

This 32-year-old right-wing shooter is also a well-known veteran in the league. He has won the honor of Sixth Man of the Season in the past two seasons.

Maybe the brilliance of his career is not as good as that of Buck Williams, but his immediate combat ability is better than Buck's!

Therefore, the Hornets' offer is actually very sincere.

Richard, who was originally unwilling to trade Buck, had some thoughts in his mind after seeing Dell Curry's name...

Dell Curry, although there are highlights in his career, the biggest highlight in his life is giving birth to a son named Stephen Curry...

Of course, the younger son Seth Curry is also very good, especially his three-point shooting, which is also at the league's first-tier level.

It is impossible to say that these two sons with such perfect three-point accuracy do not have the credit of Lao Curry’s training!

Old Curry himself has a good three-point ability, coupled with his good three-point training ability, this made Richard interested in the Hornets' offer!

The veteran Buck Williams is indeed of great value, especially in imparting experience to young insiders!

But in Richard's opinion, Old Curry's three-point coaching ability is even more precious!

In this era, there are only a handful of three-point experts, and Curry is definitely among the top ones...

The first generation of three-point masters must be Larry Bird, the second generation is Reggie Miller, the third generation is Ray Allen, and the fourth generation is Stephen Curry!

And now the old Curry is considered to be in the second generation. In Richard's view, the old Curry's three-pointers are really not much worse than Reggie Miller...

What's more, what Richard actually values ​​​​is not Curry's three-point shooting ability, but his ability to train three-pointers!

Wouldn't it be great to trade the old Curry and let him retire in the Trail Blazers, join Richard's coaching staff after retirement, and help Richard train the newcomers' three-pointers in the future?

Even if you can't train a cross-era three-point shooter like Curry, if you can achieve Curry's seven or eight success, that's pretty awesome!

Under such circumstances, Richard agreed to the Hornets' trade offer without saying a word!

Ryder and Buck were theirs...

Richard received the Hornets' first-round draft pick next year and elite veteran shooter Dell Curry.

In this transaction, Richard took advantage of the loophole in the special transaction and got a special transaction worth 3 million US dollars!

…

The only troublesome part is that Richard is not sure what kind of record the Hornets can achieve next season after acquiring Leder!

In the season that just ended, the Hornets were at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, but in the offseason they sold out the team's future potential in exchange for Divac and Leder. This is amazing. The Hornets' record may skyrocket!

If this situation really happens, then the draft pick Richard brought will undoubtedly not be high...

But there is no particularly suitable team deal at the moment. Richard, the loser in the West, has inquired about it, and no one is willing to buy Ryder at a high price!

In fact, if you think about the historical deal between the Trail Blazers and the Timberwolves, it was just James Robinson plus the first-round pick of the playoff-level Trail Blazers. It was really cheap...

If Leder can really be sold at a high price, the Timberwolves are not that stupid to take advantage of the Trail Blazers.

…

As for who will teach the newcomers interior defensive experience after Buck Williams leaves, Richard already has a candidate in mind!

That’s Ranbir!

That’s right, Demon Ranbir…

The only reason why Richard had not made up his mind to let Laimbeer join his coaching staff was because he was afraid that Laimbeer would teach his dirty tricks to Big Ben and the others...

What Richard wants is toughness, toughness on the court!

Being tough does not mean being dirty, Richard knows this very well!

However, judging from Laimbeer's future coaching in the WNBA, he has restrained himself in this regard after retiring. The WNBA championship team he coached did not win the championship in dirty ways!

Moreover, as the head coach, Richard has absolute authority within the team. Once he discovers that something is wrong, he can stop it in time!

…

"Lee, if you had called me one day later, I would have gone to the WNBA to coach those girls..." When Richard called Laimbeer, Laimbeer's voice came from the phone.

Richard doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to let Laimbeer join his coaching staff!

But Richard knew that even if he was wrong, it wouldn't be too wrong!

…

On August 1st, the month-long transaction freeze period finally ended!

This year, Richard selected a total of three rookies for the Trail Blazers, namely Ben, O'Neal Jr. and Kobe!

The freeze period is over, and these newcomers will naturally start signing their rookie contracts!

But the rookie contract encountered some troubles. To be precise, it was trouble between Richard and the Blazers management!

There is nothing to say about the contracts of Kobe Bryant and O'Neal Jr. The 1995 CBA agreement is very restrictive. It is as much as it should be. The Blazers cannot give more or less...

Only for Big Ben, as a second-round pick, according to Richard's plan, he wasn't given much and was given the same treatment as O'Neal!

Not to mention giving Kobe the No. 8 overall pick a three-year, $4.5 million contract, and giving O'Neal a three-year, $3 million salary specification, Richard felt there was no big problem!

But the Blazers management is in trouble!

The second-round pick was given a three-year, $3 million guaranteed contract. In the eyes of future generations, it’s not a big deal, it just happened!

But now, it is a contract that is shocking!

No team has ever offered such a generous contract to a second-round pick before!

…

Although Paul Allen gave Richard absolute control over the construction of the team's lineup, and the Blazers management was executing according to Paul Allen's wishes...

A second-round pick can be given a salary of US$3 million over three years. In the eyes of the Trail Blazers management, this is obviously a waste!

The Blazers management even doubted whether Richard had some private deal with Ben. Otherwise, Richard would have to be crazy to give such a lucrative contract to a second-round pick!

Of course, Richard is not crazy. He knows very well that Ben's strength is definitely worth this three-year, three-million-dollar contract!

If Ben hadn't faked his injury, he would probably have been selected in the first round. In this case, his salary would not be much less than that of O'Neal. After all, O'Neal was also a rookie in the second half of the first round.

Now Da Ben can be said to have taken risks to defect to him, how could Richard let Da Ben suffer a loss!

Therefore, Richard must facilitate this contract!

The Blazers have to sign whether they want to sign or not!
