The reason why the trade conference with the Nets and the Bullets was set so early......

That's because after this press conference, Richard still has to catch up with the next one, and he and the Timberwolves still have a press conference to attend!

……

When Richard and other three party management walked into the venue, the reporters at the scene were in an uproar!

The fool can also see what is going on, these three are a three-way deal!

Soon, the three announced the content of the three-way transaction!

The Trail Blazers received second-round picks from Rasheed Wallace, Kobe Bryant, and the Nets in the 1997 Draft!

Send Chris Dudley, Strickland plus Malik Loos, who was just drafted with the 46th pick in the second round.

Team Bullets get the flying car Strickland and send out Pike and Rashid Wallace!

The New Jersey Nets sent Kobe Bryant and a '97 second-round pick in exchange for Pike, Dudley and Malik Loos.

Of course, this is only the main trade content, and the Bullets also swallowed two expiring contracts from the Nets in order to meet the trade balance.

As soon as the content of the tripartite transaction was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in the venue!

The high school guard chosen by the Nets is not actually for their own use?! It's used for a three-way deal in exchange for Pike?!

The Trail Blazers have taken another high school player?!

Richard chose O'Neal Jr. with the seventeenth pick, which is actually surprising enough, and now it is equivalent to using the precious No. 8 pick to choose Kobe, a high school guard? !

What the hell was he thinking?!

Does he still think he's in the NCAA? Coaching college students?! Otherwise, what would so many high school students do?

This is an adult professional league, and two underage children playing on the field are definitely abused!

……

Judging from this deal, there is no doubt that the Nets made the most money, and they traded a No. 8 pick for a backcourt player who averaged 18+ points per game plus the Trail Blazers' chief backup center, and also got rid of two premium contracts......

And the operation of the Bullets is actually considered neither to make nor to lose, but considering that it is useless for them to ask for Rasheed Wallace, the flying car can greatly enhance the perfection of their lineup, although they swallowed two contracts, but both of these contracts expire at the end of this season, so this deal is actually earned by them!

Only a trailblazer coached by Richard!

No matter how you look at it, you send the team's leading star, send the team's leading backup center, and then only get a high school guard, plus a sophomore Rasheed Wallace......

How do you look at this deal......

But is Richard brain-dead? It doesn't seem to be, can the brain-dead lead Purdue University to two consecutive championships, it seems that it can't ......

For a while, the confused reporter even forgot to ask the question!

Richard saw that it was not a problem to continue such a stalemate, and he had to catch up with the next one at ten o'clock!

"Ahem, guys, what's the question to start asking!" Richard reminded.

"Mr. Richard, judging from your operation, there is no doubt that the Pioneer is going to be demolished and rebuilt!" A reporter stood up, puzzled, ready to ask.

Richard nodded, this is something that a fool can see, if he doesn't rebuild, will he sell the team's number one star speed?!

"So what are your goals for next season? Is it to compete for Tim Duncan of Wake Forest? ”

Before the reporter could finish speaking, Richard suddenly waved his hand rudely, interrupting his question......

"Man,?! It's as if I never told anyone that the Trail Blazers would be rotten! ”

"Man, you have to figure out one thing, rebuilding is not the same as rotting!"

The reporter who asked the question was stunned, don't you mess up?! You're not really crazy......

This lineup, two high school students in the team, and the number one star have also been sold, do you expect this lineup to make the playoffs?!

How can it be?!

The reporters off the field are all insiders, they have a very thorough view of the current situation of the Trail Blazers, it can be said that with the Trail Blazers' lineup, their best way is to mess up, and if they are lucky, they may get the champion next year......

Just won Tim Duncan, who has played for four years, and in this way, the journey of this young team can be regarded as starting to set sail!

Although Duncan did not participate in the draft, Duncan's popularity is quite high even in the NBA!

In the past two drafts, as long as Duncan participates, then he is definitely the champion candidate, and there is no doubt that he is the champion candidate!

Even if Iverson and Duncan run at the same time, even if Iverson gets two MOPs, the final champion is still Duncan!

Some people may wonder, is there really such a god?!

That's what a god really is!

The rookies selected by the NBA team are actually regular, that is, there are big elections, not the best ones, and the same good ones are suitable for the team!

Big here refers to big men, of course, not ordinary big men, but powerful big men, big men with top strength!

In the case of a small difference in strength, the team will give priority to the big man!

And if there is no top big man, the best player in the same class will be chosen......

If there are several players in the same class who seem to be about the same strength, then choose the best one for your team!

……

So even if Duncan didn't participate in the draft, countless people are staring at Duncan, just waiting for Duncan to graduate from college!

……

Richard didn't choose to mess up, naturally for his own reasons......

The reason is these new stars he has chosen!

You can think carefully about whether the top people in NBA history have been on a bad team.

To be precise, it is whether the team has made a mess after getting these people......

The truth is that there is none!

And many teams may continue to play bad after getting the top pick this season, striving to continue to accumulate talent......

For example, the Bucks got Robinson, the big dog, the Timberwolves got 91, Mr. Tang, and so on.

Think about whether this kind of team-selected new star has really reached the top heights......

The truth is that there is none!

Could the reason for this situation lie in the problem of rottenness?

Failing all the time can really wear down a person's competitive spirit!

And players who don't have a competitive spirit want to reach the top heights? That's dreaming!

……

"But the average age of your team is ......" The reporter who asked the question wanted to remind Richard that the average age of their team would drop to an outrageous level after selecting two high school students!

"Age? I don't know what you mean......"

"Are you saying that the average age of our team is too young and that we will suffer against those older players?" Richard asked with a smile.

The reporter nodded, he really meant it.

"Man, I've never heard of a young male lion being afraid of an old lion!"

"My players are all young and strong lions, and we are not afraid of any challenge!"

……

Kobe Bryant sat next to Richard and looked at Richard curiously at the moment......

Is he really a young and strong lion in Richard's heart?!

It doesn't seem like it, my own experience is more like a child laborer who has been trafficked......

……

After the press conference, Bryant lowered his head and followed Richard and began to leave......

When he got out of the venue, Richard turned around sharply and smiled at Kobe.

Kobe Bryant now has a kind of shadow on Richard's smile, and the moment Richard laughs, Kobe Bryant's whole body tenses......

"Young man, why do you feel so nervous? Smile more, it will make you feel relaxed......"

Kobe almost cried, don't you know why I'm nervous? If you don't agree with each other, you want Lao Tzu to be a water dispenser administrator!

But Kobe Bryant still forced himself to squeeze out a little smile, which was really ugly than crying......

"Well, it looks like you're a kid who doesn't like to laugh, okay......"

"Go back and get ready, come to the team on July 10th to report and participate in the summer league!"

After that, Richard rushed to the next press conference, leaving Bryant messy in the wind......

Kobe Bryant wanted to tell Richard that he loved to laugh, but he couldn't laugh in the face of a demon like you......
