After talking to Paul Allen on the phone, Richard recalled his previous impressions of Tiana.

A little girl who is quite shy, but she looks a little like Anseny Hathaway, who is now popular......

Richard remembers the last time they met, this little girl should have just turned eighteen, two years later, and now she is twenty years old.

A girl of this age is full of fantasies about life, which is commonly known as love dreaming......

Even if he is the daughter of the Allen family, I am afraid that he will not be able to avoid this problem.

Richard is a realist, if he was born in a super-rich family like the Allen family, it is estimated that he must be a super gentleman, and he will see the waves......

Coming to a place like Detroit? Impossible, he would definitely be based in Los Angeles.

Although I felt that this matter was a little inexplicable, Richard didn't pay attention to it, and he came to take it to Detroit when the time came, and he could be regarded as able to find Paul Allen......

……

No sooner had the All-Star Weekend ended, and Richard's phone was blown up.

The main thing is that Richard released the news before the All-Star break, putting the team's Nocioni, Crawford, Arenas and Birdman Anderson on the shelf......

To Richard's complete surprise, Crawford and Arenas didn't seem to be taken very seriously, and basically no one asked about them anyway.

On the contrary, it was the less well-known Nocioni and Birdman Anderson who attracted the attention of the teams more.

Richard thought about it, and it seemed to make perfect sense......

Nocioni is on the Pistons team, don't look at the playing time much, but the sense of presence is quite strong.

The defense on the field is quite tough, and even if you want to say that he is dirty defensively......

A small flying kick with a bright shoulder and a dark elbow in one hand, that is to make the fire perfect!

Don't look at the players who are all talking about the dirty style of the game, thinking that they are unsportsmanlike, but if such a team can go to their home team, I guess they will raise their hands and welcome them......

Nocioni is tough defensively and can defend from the No. 2 position to the No. 4 position, and of course, the target player who defends the No. 4 position must not be the kind of big forward that is quite thick......

On the offensive end, the breakthrough ability is quite strong, although the basket is not stable, but it is reasonable to say, and it can be used improvised.

Such a player, if the teams like it, is completely reasonable.

As for Birdman Anderson's popularity, there is no other reason, the only reason is that this guy is an inside, playing the number four player.

No matter what kind of player it is, in this league right now, young insiders are valuable......

In terms of strength, Anderson is naturally not as good as Oku, but his defensive and athletic ability is quite covetous to all teams.

Such a young insider, who can know where his ceiling is, you must know that this is a player that Richard fancies, no matter how bad it is.

In those teams that are not very strong, the current Birdman Anderson is fully qualified to play as a starter.

At present, he is still very young, and if his strength is greatly improved in the future, this will be a big profit.

The reason why Richard is willing to sell birdman Anderson is actually because he thinks Anderson has some chicken ribs, mainly because he has no offensive ability and no value for vigorous training......

If he really wants to cultivate, Richard feels that David Lee is more valuable than Anderson.

Now that David Lee has confirmed that he is going to participate in the 03 draft, Richard simply took advantage of this opportunity to sell Anderson first, anyway, even if he enters the playoffs, Anderson will definitely not be able to get too many opportunities to perform.

The team has Yao Ming, Clarke and a Boozer, and then Richard has an intermediate injury scroll on hand and a good Dan, which can basically ensure that the Pistons' interior line is enough.

……

It's not that Crawford and Arenas don't want it, and it's not too valuable......

……

"Mike, you'll have to make a price for me, and then we'll have to discuss whether to give you Ander......son or not," Richard said to Beebe, the White Devil, rather speechlessly.

Bibby has made a phone call every few hours in the past two years, but what makes Richard speechless is that this kid never mentions chips.

"Coach, I said it, no matter what chips others offer, we will follow as it is." Bibi was also single, and directly said a bargaining chip that Richard couldn't refuse.

But it was precisely because Bibi said this that Richard hurt even more.

Because the Kings really don't have any chips on hand at the moment, their regular season record is so good that their draft picks are quite worthless......

A young interior player who looks like he has unlimited potential, Richard can't just sell a first-round pick, which is definitely a loss.

So even if Bibby sells his face to Anderson, Richard can't make a deal that is too loss-making.

The current Kings' lineup is actually not bad, the starting lineup is quite luxurious, but Richard estimates that Adelman will definitely be reluctant to use starters to replace Anderson.

They want Anderson, and they are also looking for ideas to use him to play a dozen substitutes, and when the season is over, they will directly replace Divac and take the starting center position.

"Mike, to tell you the truth, you kings really don't have any decent chips, you can't trade your first-round pick for a young potential insider, right?" Richard asked speechlessly.

Bibi was also silent......

"Coach, why don't we make a three-way trade, let's see if we can get some first-round picks with higher picks, and give you a second-round pick with them, how about it?"

Richard nodded, if the king could really get a lotto, then he could grit his teeth and accept it......

……

On Nocioni's side, the Magic side was targeted, and Doug Rivers and Maddie took turns bombarding Richard.

Looking at this posture, they are not going to give up if they don't take Nocioni.

They favored Nocioni for a clear purpose, which was to help Maddie share some of the pressure on the field.

Grant Hill just played about two dozen games this season, and then it was another season reimbursement.

If you can get the tough defense of Nocioni, then the Magic's lineup can at least be reasonable......

Otherwise, count on one Maddie plus one Mike Miller, and the Magic will be really difficult to play in the next schedule, even if they enter the playoffs, they will be at the level of the first round.

Embarrassingly, the Magic are now in eighth place in the East, and if they make the playoffs, they will face Richard's Pistons in the first round......

It stands to reason that Richard shouldn't have agreed to make a deal with the Magic, after all, it was almost tantamount to the behavior of the enemy.

But to be honest, Richard really didn't take magic seriously, even if they were given a Nocioni, would they be able to turn the other way?!

The Magic team has no interior players, which is their hard injury, even if Maddie is strong, it can only be regarded as a dying struggle in front of the Pistons.

Even if Maddie had a Maddie moment every game, Richard estimated that the Magic led by Maddy would not be a match for the Pistons.

After all, Richard is not vegetarian in coming up with this lineup.

……

After Nocioni arrived, he went straight to the third position, Maddie continued to play the second position, and Mike Miller played the fourth position.

Such a lineup, which can be said to be reasonable, may allow their regular season record to lean forward and try not to stay in the embarrassing eighth position in the East.

Doug Rivers made an offer for their first-round pick in the upcoming draft, plus a second-round pick.

It's a more sincere bargaining chip......

After thinking about it, Richard directly agreed to the offer.

If the lion opened his mouth to continue to ask, the magic side couldn't give it to him......

Of course, Richard can also make deals with those lotto teams, but these lotto teams are more important to their first-round picks, and they are not willing to trade them for a Nocioni.

……

Just after All-Star Weekend, the Magic and Pistons jointly announced that they had completed a trade.

The Magic sent Pat Bock, a '03 first-round pick and a second-round pick in exchange for the Pistons' Nocioni.

This Bock is not a remarkable player, not even a minion, but a fringe player among fringe players, and his role in this deal is to match the salary.

……

The deal wasn't much of a big deal and didn't get much attention.

Not long afterward, the Pistons, Kings and Knicks jointly released news for a three-way trade.

The Pistons sent the team's backup power forward Anderson to get the Knicks' '03 first-round pick and the Kings' second-round pick.

……

After the two deals were struck, Richard's draft picks became a lot more fleshed out.

One draft pick from the Grizzlies, two of their own draft picks, two of the Magic's picks, one first-round pick from the Knicks, and one second-round pick from the Kings, for a total of seven draft picks, four of which were first-round picks and three second-rounders!

With so many draft picks, in the next 03 draft, Richard will definitely be able to select countless strong players.

As for Crawford and Arenas, in fact, Richard is not saying that he can't sell them at all, mainly because they are not cost-effective, and the chips given by other teams are more clumsy, and these two have more than a year left on their contracts, so they are not in a hurry to sell them......

At the moment, the league is overcrowded with No. 2 players, No. 3 players, and players who are not the same.

Crawford is a bit of a chicken in the eyes of the teams.

The strength is there, but it's not strong enough to be the cornerstone of team building......

It's useless for a strong team to come, after all, they all have an outside offensive core.

The weak team wants to rebuild, it is useless to have Crawford, and you can't use him as the core of the team......

As for Arenas, he is nominally the No. 1 player, but he has been playing in the league for a short time, and the teams know this player well, which is completely a quarterback in the No. 1 coat.
