"Nationality Spain, playing in the power forward position, can also play as a center forward, if nothing else, it may not be selected, anyway, as far as I know, no one pays attention to this player."

"The strength is enough to squeeze into the rookie for a while, but this matter is uncertain, it still depends on the training of the coach."

Richard gave Popovich a detailed account of Gabajosa's situation.

This time there is no hiding and now that the deal has been made, Richard will definitely want to make more convenience for Popovich.

However, Richard didn't pack the ticket, under normal circumstances, Gabajosa was selected as a rookie in the draft, but after all, it was in the Raptors, and now under Popovich's hands, no one can say whether he can continue to enter the rookie team.

Fortunately, Popovich had considerable trust in Richard's selection vision and did not say much.

"Okay, Lee, when the draft is completed, we will buy out Brent's contract, and hopefully you can sign Brent as soon as possible......"

"Don't worry, Greg, I'm more anxious about Brent's joining than you." Richard breathed a sigh of relief.

This deal, which was not put on the surface, was finally reached.

Because there is no paper contract, this deal relies on the consciousness of both parties, and with Richard's understanding of Popovich, there should be no possibility of this deal being cheated.

The main thing is that the Spurs didn't pay anything, they bought out Brent's money, and the Buccaneers paid for it, and Brent has no role in their roster......

Letting go of the ineffective Brent and getting a potential inside line for a rookie is not too cost-effective, even if Popovich instigates a little, it will definitely not backtrack.

……

And Richard's side didn't actually pay anything, and rescued Barry Jr. from Parker's hands.

Of course, Richard can remind Barry Cub in words, but saying this is equivalent to a slap in the face of Barry.

Imagine that you know that your friend is green, will you just open your mouth to remind your friend? That's just cruel......

The only thing Richard could do was keep Barry Jr. away from Parker.

In the case of saving Barry Jr., in fact, the strength of the Spurs has not been improved.

Richard didn't lie to Popovich, this Gabajosa is indeed the strength of the rookie team, but the rookie season is directly cold at the end of the season......

After a few games in the second season, it completely disappeared from the NBA.

It is equivalent to saying that Gabajosa cannot improve the Spurs' playoff strength, and Richard has not set up a stronger enemy for himself.

Richard didn't lie to Popovich either, every word was true......

Of course, Gabajosa doesn't necessarily get injured at the Spurs, and maybe this time Popovich can really pick up a big bargain.

If this happens, Richard can only consider himself unlucky......

……

Richard arrived in New York a day early, convened this year's Purdue Sanshao in the hotel, and, as is customary, presented the West Lafayette Gold Medal.

The three young men looked at Richard with a look of antithetical anticipation, because the Pirates had a good draft pick this year, so they knew very well that one of their few would get the opportunity to join the Pirates.

"Coach, can you reveal in advance whether the Pirates will choose LaMarcus?" Rondo, who has the most noisy temperament, has met Richard a few times, but he didn't recognize his life at all, and asked Richard directly.

"Rajan, Portland has told me that I'm going to be drafted with their third pick." Aldridge said with a wry smile.

Rondo was stunned, but then laughed.

"It's all the same, Portland is a coach anyway......"

"What about me? Coach, can I join the Pirates? Or you can choose me directly with the second priority. Rondo said with a smile.

"Go, go, I have other arrangements for you kid, think less about it so much, no matter which team you join, give me a good fight, don't embarrafay to us." Richard also took Rondo, who was stunned, and couldn't help it.

Rudy Gay was more silent, he was not a particularly noisy player, and he was just looking at Richard with reverence at the moment.

……

Inside the theater in Madison Square Garden, New York, June 16.

The new draft is about to begin.

Today, Richard can already be said to be an absolute leader in the coaching group, even if it is Zen master Jackson, he is inferior to Richard.

Although the Zen master said that there are two more championships than Richard, in the eyes of the outside world, in terms of lineup building ability and coaching ability, Richard is definitely stronger.

Like Barkley said, my grandma can also win six championships with Jordan......

And this can't be applied to Richard's body, if it is replaced by any head coach and put them in Richard's original situation, unless they are ancestors who have accumulated great virtues, otherwise, there is no hope of winning the championship in the short term.

You may never even win the title......

The Zen master led the team to the Trailblazers at that time or the Pistons in the trough period, can he lead the team to win the championship?

This possibility is not ruled out, but he is definitely not going to do better than Richard.

In addition to the prominence of his ability, Richard's weight in the league is also quite impressive.

He himself is the boss, the old man is also the boss, and the Pistons boss Davidson Sr. is his old friend and absolute supporter......

As soon as Richard entered the field, representatives of several teams stood up and walked briskly towards Richard.

Richard also greeted each other with a smile, they were all acquaintances, and many of them were coaches of the West Lafayette system.

Stern was backstage and saw a large group of people around Richard, and the key point was that this group of people represented almost half of the management of more than half of the teams in the league!

This made Stern quite uncomfortable......

The relationship between him and Richard has eased a lot, but he doesn't want a powerful person in the alliance to appear.

……

"The draft has officially begun, please take your seats." The on-site staff reminded the crowd who were greeting.

After a while, Stern took the stage and nagged for about ten minutes, and this year's draft meeting was officially started.

The Raptors, who held the champion lottery, came up and took a bagnani, quite decisive.

Richard didn't know where their decision came from......

I'm afraid there will be a time when they will regret it.

After the champion was selected, it was time for the Pirates to sign the list.

Richard wrote Brandon Roy's name on a note, and after coaching the Black Mamba, Richard was ready to take the Yellow Mamba.

For the yellow mamba, Richard actually has higher expectations, and the black mamba Kobe is already a success under normal circumstances.

"I announce that the Detroit Pirates selected Brandon Roy from the University of Washington with the second pick in the first round."

After Stern announced the result, everyone except Richard and the Trail Blazers' representative McMillan looked dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Richard didn't choose Aldridge with the precious roster pick, but actually chose a point guard?

You must know that Richard rarely chooses a point guard in the draft, and the most selected are the center and small forward players.

For example, the current Iguodala and Granger of the Pirates team, including Ariza, who was traded, are small forward players.

Now Richard has chosen Aldridge, who is obviously more valuable, and has chosen a point guard?

Everyone laughed in unison when they thought that the third in line was the Trailblazer.

This is the real fertilizer water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders......

Sure enough, the trailblazers came in third place.

"I am announcing that the Portland Trail Blazers selected LaMarcus Aldridge from Purdue University with the third pick in the first round."

McMillan had a smile on his face, and his Trail Blazers coaching career had at least got off to a good start.

Although he did not expect to replicate Richard's miracles, he could at least ensure that he would not lose his job for the next few years.
