After the regular season honors were announced, the Pirates' gains were quite good, although they certainly can't be compared with the peak Trail Blazers, but as a new army, it is not easy to win so many honors in the third year of the team's establishment.

Richard didn't pay much attention to the regular-season accolade because he had more important things to focus on.

Draw lots.

The annual lottery is about to start again, and this time Richard has a first-round pick from the Bucks in his hand, so he naturally needs to pay close attention.

The Bucks have been crazy this season, playing just 15 wins all season, ranking first in the league.

That means Richard has a 46.5 percent chance of picking up the top two picks.

Richard himself is a little unbelievable, in the first few years of his entry into the league, he never had a high draft pick in his hands, and in recent years, since the 02 draft, Richard has a fairly high draft pick.

In 02, it was the champion who chose Yao Ming.

In '03, it was the list that chose Milicic.

In '04, it was the No. 4 pick that chose Iguodala.

In '05, it was the champion who chose Paul for the Tanhua lottery.

In '06, Roy was chosen by the Eye Sign.

For five years in a row, Richard has had a No. 4 pick for the last time!

And this year is no different, with the Bucks' record, they can also get a No. 4 pick for the first time.

Richard smacked his lips, this can't be said to be Richard's luck, after all, most of these high-pick draft picks were traded by Richard from other teams with the help of God's perspective.

……

The draw began, and it was not long before the results of the last two draws were announced.

Harris, who represented the Bucks in the lottery, turned red at the moment, and couldn't stop muttering.

"First in line!"

"First in line!"

People must be greedy, although even if they get a list lottery, the Bucks can get an All-Star from Richard, but if they can draw the top pick, it will be two All-Stars.

The key is that the Bucks can still choose these two All-Stars in any year, which gives them a lot of leeway and doesn't have to worry about salary space.

If two All-Stars were selected in the same year, they would face serious contract extension issues.

Soon, Stern began to announce the teams that had been picked in the top spot.

"I declare that the team that gets the second-round pick in the first round is ......"

"Milwaukee Bucks!"

After listening to Stern's announcement, Harris couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, it's a pity, it's a pity that he couldn't get the champion sign.

However, getting a list eye sign can be regarded as acceptable, at least it is not nothing, they can use this list eye sign to let Richard help them choose an All-Star player.

After Richard watched the draw, he called Stouts as soon as possible.

The champion sign was taken away by the Trailblazers, and Richard got a list of eyes here, which is quite acceptable, after all, the fertilizer water did not flow into the fields of outsiders.

"Tell me, Terry, when are you going to use your rights?" Richard said with a smile.

"Lee, in this year's draft, we only have one second-round pick in our hands, can we pick an All-Star with this pick?"

"If it really doesn't work, we can use this second-round pick to trade up, after all, our second-round pick is very high, and we should be able to trade a mid-to-late first-round pick."

Because they only got the list of eyes, they could only ask Richard to help them choose an All-Star, so the Bucks felt that it was too early to rush or too late, and if they could get an All-Star this year, they would take it first and then talk about it, saving them a lot of dreams at night.

Richard frowned, this year's draft is actually not a big year, the number of stars is still quite small, and all of them are concentrated in the top 10 picks.

With the Bucks' draft pick, if Richard wants to fulfill his promise, the only one who can help them pick is Marc Gasol.

But Marc Gasol isn't a good fit to recommend to the Bucks.

The first is that Richard wants to take it by himself, and the second is that Gasol Jr.'s current strength will take a long time to grow up to reach the All-Star level......

By the time Gasol Jr. shows his All-Star level strength, it will take at least five years, and for such a long time, the Bucks may have been anxious with Richard.

What about the all-stars......

Richard didn't want to make such a trouble, and said directly to Stottes.

"Terry, I recommend that you don't use that right this year unless you can get a top-eight pick in the future." Richard said with a wry smile.

"I recommend that you use this right in the '08 draft, which has a lot of good seedlings."

In this draft, excluding Gasol Jr., the lowest-ranked All-Star is Joakim Noah, the ninth pick.

Further up, that's Conley, the fourth pick.

So it would be extremely unwise for the Bucks to use this right this year.

If that right is used next year, it will be because next year is a draft year, and the Bucks don't need to be too high a pick to get an All-Star.

"Okay, Lee, then we'll use that right in the '08 draft, and I'll leave everything up to you." Stottes had no choice but to agree.

If you don't agree, it's okay, Richard said that he doesn't recommend choosing in 07, if they come hard, they may choose something.

Although he didn't get the All-Star promised by Richard as soon as possible, the shrewd Stotters still learned an important message from Richard's words.

That's the '08 draft is a big year for the draft.

Richard said that there are a lot of good seedlings in this draft, what is it if it's not a big year?

This news is quite important, so that the Bucks can prepare more draft picks in advance, Richard helps them pick an All-Star, and they can cast a wide net again, and maybe get an All-Star again.

Although before the start of each draft, various media will predict whether this draft will be a big year or a small year, and they also say that it is conclusive, but this prediction is not accurate, and it is often wrong.

Now that Richard said it was a big year, it must be a big year.

Stottes is already ready to report this important information to the team executives, after all, if you want draft picks, you must trade, and it is up to the team executives to make up their minds.

It can be said that now the Bucks have put all their wealth and hopes on Richard.

If Richard had cheated them, they would have lost all their money.

Five or six years ago, the Bucks wouldn't have believed Richard in any way, and they wouldn't even make any trade with Richard.

Because their team's general manager is Dunleavy Sr., and Richard doesn't have a good impression of the Bucks, it's no wonder that a deal can be struck.

In recent years, with the abdication of the old Dunleavy and the retirement of the big dog, the relationship between Richard and the Bucks has eased a lot, and the Bucks boss and Richard also make phone calls from time to time to contact their relationship.

In this case, the Bucks still trust Richard quite a lot, because Richard has no reason to pit their Stags, after all, even if he pits the Stags, Richard will not get any benefits.

……

As soon as he hung up the phone with Stottes, Paul Allen immediately called in.

Richard is naturally not surprised, the Trail Blazers got the top pick, and Paul Allen will definitely come to ask Richard.

"Li, do you want this champion signature?" Paul Allen asked with a smile on the phone.

"Yes, yes!" Richard didn't hide it at all......

"Want it? But I won't give ......."

"What are you kidding, that's Oden, a talent that is visible to the naked eye, and I was counting on him to lead the Trail Blazers to the championship."

Richard rolled his eyes, Paul Allen was not fed.

Isn't this Chi Guoguo's teasing himself?

"Paul, you are becoming more and more improper, let's say, what the hell is going on, let's talk about it first, our list is not for sale, don't fight its idea."

Richard has already thought about this list and used it to get Durant.

"I wanted to ask how Oden is doing?" Paul Allen stated the purpose.

Richard frowned, not knowing how to answer.

"Talent-wise, you know for sure, but he's got an injury problem, which should have been mentioned in your scouting report."

"If you can keep him healthy, Oden may surprise you, but more likely it will scare you."

"Paul, I actually recommend that you don't choose Auden......"

Richard believed that the Trail Blazers were not outsiders, and if they did choose Oden, they might face a tragedy.

However, this is not necessarily, Richard has already helped the Trail Blazers change team doctors, and maybe Oden will be able to stay healthy after arriving at the Trail Blazers......

"What are the odds of growing up?" Paul Allen asked in a quiet voice.

"Leave it to you trailblazers, less than a 10 percent chance ......," Richard gave a rather conservative number.

Oden's injury is a big problem, but there's an even bigger problem with him, which is the length of his legs......

Auden's right leg is two centimeters shorter than his left, which was discovered by an old Chinese medicine practitioner.

At first glance, two centimeters may not seem like a big deal, but considering that Oden is the traditional inside, the most physically competitive position on the entire court, this long and short leg will infinitely increase his risk of injury.

Even if Richard gets Auden, using the Injury Scroll to treat Auden will not solve this problem of long and short legs, and he will have to use the invaluable intact pill.

As for the Trail Blazers team doctors, it must be even more problematic, even if they find the problem of Oden's long and short legs, they can only use orthodontic treatment, which requires a long treatment time.

In order to quickly cure this problem of long and short legs, unless medicine advances by leaps and bounds in the short term, sawing off Oden's right leg by two centimeters, without affecting his athletic ability......
