Rudy Gay was drafted by the Rockets with the sixth pick, and if nothing else, the Rockets may trade with the Grizzlies as they normally would, trading Rudy Gay for President Battier from the Grizzlies......

This deal is not a profit or a loss, Battier is an instant combat force, and he is already a very strong defensive warrior at the moment, while Rudy Guy is definitely not as strong as Battier today.

……

After Rudy Gay was drafted, Richard began to wait patiently for the next pick.

He was a little worried that Rondo would be drafted before the fifteenth pick, and that possibility was not entirely out of the question.

Although Rondo showed quite lame projection ability during the NCAA, and his breakthrough ability was not shown much because his teammates were too strong, the whole person didn't seem to have any offensive ability at all.

But the organisational and defensive qualities he showed were good.

Hopefully, some teams will take the risk of selecting him with a higher pick.

However, the possibility is not particularly large, if the player in the No. 1 position does not have a basket, most teams will not risk the selection.

……

The Orlando Magic selected JJ Redick with the 11th pick, and Richard naturally didn't have a good impression of this Redick.

Looking at his face, this player still looks quite a gentle person, but he is a little crazy in his bones, he has said insulting words, and later after going to play the Chinese game, he was booed by the Chinese fans......

As a result, the boos of Chinese fans were the most "polite" boos he had heard in his career.

It's a mockery.

However, Richard is too lazy to clean up this kind of little minion, and if he really has a chance in the future, he can just clean it up.

In the next few picks, several teams did not choose Rondo.

"I am announcing that the Charlotte Buccaneers selected Rajon Rondo from Purdue University with the 16th pick in the first round."

In fact, Rondo's name sounds like an Indian name at first glance.

Rondo clenched his fists happily, although this order was lower than he expected, but in any case, being able to join Richard's team has already made Rondo happy.

In his own capacity, after joining the Pirates, didn't he easily get the starter?

Then, as a starter, he led the team to the championship, won the MVP and FMVP in his rookie season, and reproduced Yao Ming's miracle.

It's just beautiful......

Rondo is already in a fantasy.

……

The next little steel cannon Lowry was selected by the Grizzlies with the 24th pick, and Richard felt that it was still quite a pity, if he still had a first-round pick in hand, it would definitely take the small steel cannon.

Richard chose Rondo over the small steel cannon, not that the small steel cannon is not strong.

Xiaogangcang's strength is still good, and he even became an All-Star starter in the East for two consecutive years, although he has a lot of water as a starter.

But the strength is good, and Richard doesn't see anything too bright about him......

The only commendable thing is probably his physical fitness, and other aspects can only be said to be good, not first-class.

In other words, Lori can do anything, but he is not good at anything.

The offensive end is unstable, the overall picture of the organization is not good enough, compared to Rondo and Paul, it is not half a star.

Defensively, there is also a big gap between Birondo and Paul.

In this case, Richard will undoubtedly give preference to Rondo over Lowry, who has little advantage.

Offense, defense and playmaking are the three most important abilities of a No. 1 player, and Paul can be said to be top-notch in all three areas.

Rondo, on the other hand, is a top-notch defender and playmaker......

As for Lowry, none of them are top-notch, and a fool should know how to choose.

……

There weren't many players to watch out for in the first round.

In the second round, Richard directly used his sixteenth pick in the second round to take Paul Millsap.

As for the other second-round pick that was traded, Richard sold it to the Philadelphia 76ers a few days ago in exchange for a 76ers' 07-year second-round pick.

There are really no players to choose in the second round in 06, and in 07 it is not bad, there are more players to choose in the second round.

The Spurs selected Spanish power forward Yog Gabajosa with the 29th pick in the second round.

On the Spurs' side, firstly, because of the tight schedule, and secondly, they didn't want people to see the clues, so they didn't try out Gabajosa at all, and Popovich also fully trusted Richard, so he took Gabajosa down without saying a word.

He thought very clearly that his own draft pick was not valuable, and even if Gabajosa couldn't do it, they wouldn't lose much.

……

At the end of the draft, Richard immediately gathered the three newcomers of this year and informed them to go to Charlotte in half a month to prepare for the team's training camp.

This year, Richard is not going to let these three newcomers go to the summer league, and is ready to let them train directly with the team.

Because Richard is aiming to win the championship next season, a bunch of newcomers on the team this offseason will definitely have to work hard.

After Gay, Rondo and Millsap joined the team, the Pirate lineup formed by Richard was completely faulty except for the lack of strength on the inside.

Inside positions: Valejo, Mourning, Milicic.

Among them, Millsap plays as a two-way forward and can also play the position of power forward.

With Iguodala, Granger, Gay and Millsap on the front line, it's certainly enough.

On the No. 1 position, there are Paul, Rondo and Payton Sr., the No. 1 position composed of these three, at least for the next few years, Richard does not have to worry about it at all.

There are a total of 10 players, and there are still three players shy of the 13-man guaranteed squad.

Richard approached Miles and asked him to contact Chuck Hayes of the Rockets and give him a three-year guaranteed contract to see if he could sign it.

Hayes' defense is very good, and even if he can't use it in the future, he can sell it for a good price in the future.

In the '05 draft, Hayes ran for the draft, but he was undrafted, and later signed a ten-day contract with the Rockets, which was okay, and the Rockets gave him a guaranteed contract.

However, this guaranteed contract is only for the rest of the season, and it is worth only $230,000 in total......

If you don't say that Team Rocket is really instigating, now Richard is given a chance to take advantage of.

The instigated Rockets will definitely not give Hayes a three-year guaranteed contract, and Hayes has a good chance of being signed by the Buccaneers.

Although Myers is an assistant coach, he has no coaching ability at all, and his talent is all reflected in player trades and signings.

Hayes's signing, Miles easily got it, and when the Rockets learned that Hayes was poached by the Pirates, they slapped their thighs with regret.
