After the championship medal ceremony and jersey retirement ceremony, Richard led the crowd to the biggest nightclub in Detroit City, and tonight he didn't get drunk.

The Pistons will complete the feat of defending the title, and may even win the championship next season, creating a dynasty, and everyone is full of hope for the future at this moment.

"Coach, I'm a free agent now, why don't I join the Buccaneers as a free agent this season?"

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm a big fan of Pirates of the Caribbean, this movie is so charming, I want to be the captain of the pirate team!" Clark leaned over to Richard and asked in a low voice.

At the end of the season, Clark's previous contract expires, and he is fully positioned to join the Buccaneers as a free agent to help Richard's team strengthen on the inside.

Of course, with Clark's current status in the league, if he doesn't give a maximum salary, it will definitely be unjustifiable.

If the maximum salary is really given, Clark will probably get a six-year, $96 million contract.

In Richard's view, this is really not cost-effective......

You must know that Richard is the owner now, and he naturally has to think carefully about the cost of the team, although such a large contract, although Clark is indeed worth it, but Richard can use less money to get a player who is not weaker than Clark.

In addition to considering the cost, Richard just went to Charlotte and directly abducted the main interior line of the Pistons team, so the Pistons fans will definitely not be able to accept it.

All things considered, Richard certainly couldn't agree to Clark.

"Just stay with the Pistons and try to win another championship this year and help the Pistons build a dynasty, and then you're going to be one of the greatest bigwigs in Pistons history."

"I've heard that Davidson Sr. is ready to give you a contract with a maximum salary." Richard said with a smile.

After Clark was rejected, he didn't show any distressed look.

The reason why he asked Richard this was not that he really wanted to go to the pirates.

He prefers to stay with the Pistons and help the Pistons build a dynasty than to go to the Pisrates, and this temptation is quite huge for any player.

Now that he asks this, he just wants to repay the favor and repay Richard for helping him.

"Okay, Coach, then I wish your pirate team a lot of money!"

……

"Coach, do you know who we're on the Pistons' protection list?" Nash asked Richard with some curiosity.

There is less than half a month left in the draft to expand, and it is about to start.

Now the players of each team are curious whether their home team has put them on the protection list.

Richard shook his head, he really didn't know about this, it stands to reason that this matter should actually be decided by the president and head coach of the team......

However, he is the protagonist of the draft for the expansion of the army, so naturally it is difficult to get involved in this matter, so he handed over this job to Dumas.

"Coach, who do you think you're most likely to pick from us?" Nash asked curiously again.

He is the oldest player on the Pistons team, and his vision is naturally much better than that of other new melons.

The strength of the Pistons players is already completely beyond his imagination......

With only eight players on the protected list, Nash wondered who Richard would choose next in the draft draft.

Richard laughed, "According to my estimate, I probably chose the Daktronics......"

Upon hearing this, all eyes were on Darko Milicic.

At this time, Milicic was sitting in the corner, and he didn't have any sense of existence, and he was also shocked when he heard Richard's words.

He originally thought that Richard was disappointed in himself and would not have any intersections with him in the future.

I didn't expect Richard to choose who he would choose in the draft of the army expansion?!

He is well aware that the Pistons in the draft are a top priority, as only eight players can be protected, and there will be a lot of quality rookies exposed to the roster, such as Josh Howard, who is one of the two brothers David Lee and David West......

"Don't be surprised, the Darko has more potential than you think." Richard looked at everyone dumbfounded, and couldn't help but smile and said.

"Darko, your problem is your self-confidence, and I hope you can think about it in the coming period."

"If you don't have confidence on the pitch, you won't develop too well."

"In the next new army, I will leave you a starting inside position, I hope you don't let me down!"

Hearing Richard's words, Milicic, who was sitting in the corner, nodded solemnly, looking at Richard's eyes full of determination.

It turns out that Richard has not given up on himself, and it turns out that he still has hope of rising.

"When the championship parades, remember to bring the West Lafayette gold medal, our West Lafayette players are really too sad, and there will be few opportunities to wear gold medals in public in the future." Yao Ming said with a smile.

Everyone nodded, because of the introduction of the dress code, it is difficult for them, the players who have just won the gold medal, unless they take it shopping by themselves in the offseason, it is difficult to have the opportunity to wear the gold medal.

However, the next championship parade can be taken out to show off......

……

The championship parade after the victory, in which Richard participated.

However, as soon as the parade ended, Richard immediately rushed to Charlotte.

There are still many things to do about the wedding that Richard needs to decide.

Tiana's mother and daughter are currently setting up the wedding scene in Charlotte.

"Jody, it's been a long time since I've seen you, and you're still so young and pretty." Richard saw his mother-in-law and praised it with a smile.

If you are in China, Richard will have to call her mother now, and she is about to get married, and if you don't call your mother, it is really inappropriate......

Not to mention Richard, who directly calls the name of his mother-in-law, if he is left in China, it is estimated that this marriage will not be consummated.

But Lao Mei is not interested in this set, if Richard yells at Jodi's mother, it is estimated that the scene will be quite embarrassing.

That's fine, Jody is actually not a few years older than Richard, and if Richard really asks him to call his mother, he probably won't be able to shout.

Jody was praised like this, and she couldn't close her mouth with a smile, she was over forty now, but she was quite well maintained, and the flowers and branches of her laughter were trembling at the moment, which was quite charming.

……

Because this wedding has received too much attention, Paul Allen specially told him that he must be more luxurious, and he has covered all the money spent on the wedding.

Richard thought for a moment, and it seemed that he now had to call Uncle Paul Allen.

It's not a bad thing to have such a generous uncle......

In May, Paul Allen bought a manor house in Charlotte and gave it to Tiana as a wedding gift.

The estate is so large that Richard estimates that it will cost tens of millions of dollars......

The wedding venue was naturally set in this manor, and now the decoration has begun.

It took a whole afternoon, and Richard's hands were numb when he wrote the invitation......

Hundreds of invitations, most of whom were invited to Richard, didn't know much about them, but their names were thunderous.

The guests invited by Richard were all NBA insiders, as well as some alumni of Purdue University who had known him before.

As for the guests at Allen's house, it was a real variety, including some NBA executives, as well as some of the top stars from other sports leagues......

You must know that Paul Allen's sports industry is not only the Trail Blazers, he is also the owner of the NFL Seattle Seahawks, and many professional football stars are on the invitation list.

Naturally, people with heads and faces in the entertainment industry have been invited......

Paul Allen is the chairman of the American cable TV operator and a shareholder of DreamWorks Films.

People in the political and business circles, some big-handed figures, are also on the invitation list.

After the invitation was distributed, although the wedding had not yet begun, the old American media had already asserted that this might be the most grand and high-grade wedding in the entire American history.

The whole family has such a precious daughter as Tiana, such a major event, Paul Allen can be said to have invested blood, in order to make Tiana have an unforgettable memory, he even invited the vice president.

……

On June 20, Richard left Charlotte for the NBA's headquarters in New York.

The 22nd is the day of the start of the draft expansion, and the location is set at the New York headquarters, and Richard and Jordan have agreed to meet in New York tonight.

This year's draft was held on June 25, also in New York, at Madison Square Garden.

For the next week, Richard figured that he would have to stay in New York forever.

……

"Man, I heard that even the vice president is going to your wedding?" Jordan asked in disbelief.

Richard nodded, Paul Allen told him about this, it shouldn't be a joke.

Jordan blinked, "It's good to be rich!" ”

It's really good to be rich, although Jordan is also very famous in Lao Mei, but if he gets married, he will definitely not be able to invite a nuclear bomb-level figure like the vice president.

There are still several notches between him and Paul Allen.

"I heard that Michael Jackson was the guest of honor at your wedding?" Jordan asked again in disbelief.

Richard nodded again, this is what Jody does, and he also told Richard......

"God, your kid is really developed, marrying into such a wealthy family, you have to take good care of your brother in the future." Jordan quipped.

"you......" Richard said with a bitter face.

Marrying into a wealthy family? It sounds awkward.

But it may seem to some people that this is really the case.

Richard certainly can't accept this statement, because in the future, with his ability, wealth and connections, he will definitely not be worse than Paul Allen.
