On November 22, Richard's ban finally ended.

After returning from the ban, the Buccaneers' home attendance has improved significantly compared to before.

These Pirate fans, there is no doubt that they all came to see Richard.

And on the first day of Richard's return from suspension, there was a shocking trade in the league.

Phoenix sent center Oku and a second-round pick, Green Kai sent Chauncey Billups, Pistons sent Nash, and some base-salary players in a tie-and-match trade.

The three parties reached a deal, which is definitely quite heavyweight deal news.

The three people who were traded were all core level players on the team.

Even Oku, before Xiao Si joined the Suns, he was also the second-level figure on the team.

If you look at the main body of the transaction, it is undoubtedly the Suns who made it, and they exchanged the lowest value of the three trading subjects for Nash, who is the main controller of the two-time championship and has the title of the league's No. 1 main controller, which is undoubtedly quite cost-effective.

But if you want to make a lot of money, it's not enough, after all, Nash only has less than a year of contract left at the moment, and Oku's contract is close to three seasons, in case Nash waits until the end of this season and does not renew the Suns, then the Suns are basically a chicken-and-egg situation.

With such a risk, the Suns certainly can't say that they are making a lot of money.

The Pistons and Green Kai teams don't seem to be making much money, and even look like they're losing a bit.

But in Richard's view, these two teams actually didn't lose either.

Green Kai is not broken, and it has been proven that the combination of Pierce and Billups is difficult to play a too dazzling record.

Now they are re-forming the lineup, and when the 05 draft begins, with the help of Richard, they will get high-quality newcomers, and they will definitely soar to the sky at that time.

It stands to reason that because the Pirates are now in the east, Richard's approach is tantamount to setting up a strong enemy for himself.

But Richard really didn't care at all......

As the saying goes, if there are more lice, it doesn't itch, but there are still fewer strong teams in the east?

A newly formed Heat, because of O'Neal's existence, is also a league-level team.

There's also an old powerhouse Pistons who, at least for the next few years, will remain as strong as the Trail Blazers before them.

With such two teams as the foundation, even if Green Kai rises, Richard will not care too much.

With Richard's mix, it is estimated that the alliance pattern will also change as a result.

In the past, the situation of being strong in the west and weak in the east may gradually become weak in the future.

The reason is very simple, the three teams of the Heat, Pistons, and Green Kai will rise, and the Pirates led by Richard will rise, and it will only take two or three years to rise to the top.

It won't be long before there will be four teams in the east that have the strength to compete for the championship!

On the other hand, in the West, it seems that except for the Spurs and the Suns, the strength of other teams is significantly worse.

……

Single-handedly changing the pattern of the alliance, Richard's horror is reflected in this place.

……

The three-way deal here has just been completed, and the Suns immediately turned around and made a deal with the Pirates.

The Suns sent White and a first-round pick from the Nets in exchange for two cannon fodder players on short-term contracts on the Pirates.

This deal is in the league and has not attracted much attention, and the deal between the two sides is fair and just, after all, in the eyes of everyone, the Nets' first-round pick is undoubtedly the existence of the bottom of the first round, and the value is not too high.

At present, the Nets this season have played 14 games and have a record of 8 wins and 6 losses, which looks pretty good, and if they continue to work hard, they are still at the top three in the East.

But Richard knew that the Nets were probably less than a month away from collapsing......

When the Nets collapse, his first-round pick will go from the bottom of the first round to the middle of the first round, which is enough for him to select Granger.

At that point, the Pirates' forward and defensive combination will be Iguodala plus Granger.

Such a combination makes Richard excited just thinking about it.

In Richard's view, Granger is a copy of pickled peppers, and there are too many similarities between the two.

Both guys defended pretty well, and the key was that the defense was clean.

In addition, they are all able to shoot suddenly and have strong offensive ability.

It's just that one is reborn from injuries, and the other is from injuries and illnesses.

What many fans don't know is that when Pickle Pepper first entered the league, he played as a substitute for Granger.

At the beginning, the Pacers positioned Pickles as an outside 3-and-D player, and did not expect Pickles to become a top all-around small forward.

Later, Granger gradually cooled down, and Pickled Pepper got the opportunity to become the leading small forward.

……

Anyway, Richard is quite excited now, and Pickled Pepper is almost his second favorite player besides Duncan.

At the moment, I haven't found a chance to get my hands on Duncan, and I guess I won't find it in the future.

Now that he has the opportunity to coach the remake of pickled peppers, Richard can be regarded as getting what he wants.

……

Now this season, Richard has already determined that he wants to go crazy.

So in the '05 draft, the Buccaneers guaranteed a top-four first-round pick, a top-four first-round pick, and a first-round mid-round pick from the Nets.

These three signings have been able to help Richard get Chris Paul, Granger, and Gortat very safely.

Gortat's addition will undoubtedly improve the team's interior strength.

The addition of the Dirty Cannon will complete the Pirates' No. 1 lineup.

A young dirty cannon with an aging Payton are probably two of the best defensive players in No. 1 history.

Payton will definitely be in the first place, and Paul will have no problem finishing in the top five.

As for Granger, after he joined the Pirates, Iguodala couldn't fault his combination at all.

There are people available in almost every position, and there is more than one person available, which is sure to give the Pirates what it takes to challenge for a championship.

……

The darkness in front of us is to set off the coming dawn to be more radiant.

Richard and Jordan continued to implement the team's bad plan.

Although it is a rotten position, there are still some tricks in putting it badly.

If it is purely rotten, it will make fans lose interest in the game, and it is estimated that the team's attendance will definitely be affected.

Richard felt the need to learn from the Suns in later generations.

The Suns team in front of them is about to reach its peak, and after they disintegrate, the Suns will fall into a long and indefinite process of swinging.

However, they have a good way to deal with the mess, which is to let the players in the team cut down the big data, attract the attention of the fans, and make sure the fans are interested in watching the game.

The best example of this is their young quarterback Booker, who went crazy and cut down 70+.

Of course, brushes are more appropriate here.

However, whether it is really cut or brushed, 70+ is not ambiguous at all, and Suns fans are also satisfied with it, directly ignoring the Suns' terrible on-court performance.

After some discussion with Jordan, Richard decided to let one or two players in the team play as bright as possible without winning, so as to attract the attention of fans.

You can't do without a team, and now the Buccaneers are ready to start starry.
