Sloan is naturally well aware of Millsap's value, and such a two-way striker is simply a panacea on the court.

Don't look at the current stats are not particularly outstanding, but once he is given enough playing time, Millsap can easily put in an All-Star level stat right now.

The most important thing is that Millsap entered the league in '06, and his contract with the Buccaneers ended in the summer of 10 years......

That is, the combat power is strong, and the salary is cheap, such a player is simply too tempting and too tempting.

Not to mention the Jazz, the Spurs and Lakers are also salivating over Millsap at the moment, and these two teams have little salary space, but there is certainly nothing wrong with swallowing a rookie contract.

The Spurs' lineup, the front guard line is short of people, only an old Bowen is reliable, Millsap can play big forward and small forward, and the key character is also low-key, Popovich likes this kind of player the most.

Of course, the real reason Popovich liked it was that it was cheap, almost free until the summer of 2010......

As for the Lakers, Odom is currently playing small forward, and his strength is good, but Odom is more suitable to play as a substitute and stagger the playing time with Kobe.

If they can take Millsap and put Odom on the bench, the squad is a bit invincible.

After the team got Pau Gasol, Bryant called Richard and asked about Millsap.

Richard certainly can't agree to sell Millsap to the Lakers or the Spurs.

He can sell Millsap to any team in the league, but not to the Spurs, Lakers, Pistons and Green Kai.

Because after these four teams get Millsap, they may really be able to threaten the dominance of the Pirates.

So in any case, Richard is absolutely not going to sell Millsap to these teams.

On the contrary, the Jazz are a potential choice for Richard, because the Jazz are good now, but even if there is a Millsap, they are definitely not the opponent of the Pirates.

After Richard traded Millsap to the Jazz, he could have muddied the waters of the West even more.

The more teams there are in the West, the more difficult it will be for the Spurs and Lakers to break out of the West, because teams like the Jazz will drain their energy in the playoffs.

Richard is open to trading Millsap for the Jazz.

"I'll give you the bottom of the deal, old man, about trading Millsap." Richard said to Sloane, who was sighing, with a sincere face.

"Huh? Tell me, Lee, we'd appreciate it if we could finalize the deal. Sloan said with a look of surprise.

He could also sense Richard's sincerity, and it seemed that Richard really had the idea of making a deal with their sir.

Richard was stunned, and Sir was grateful to himself? It's good that they don't curse themselves......

If you want to say who Jazz fans hate the most, Richard will definitely be at the top of the rankings.

Although under normal circumstances, the Jazz did not win the championship, but how did the fans know about it, in their opinion, it was the devil Richard who ruined their Jazz chance to reach the top.

"Forget about gratitude, I don't expect you Sir to be grateful to me."

"My bottom line is a top-10 pick with an arbitrary first-round pick, and I think this chip, if you Jazz work hard, it's still possible to get it." Richard showed Sloan a way.

The Jazz took their own first-round pick, plus some chips, and found a weak team in exchange for a top-10 first-round pick, which is a bit difficult, but the Jazz can still do it.

Add to that a first-round pick of the Jazz's own, and they could get the coveted Millsap.

"Really?!" Sloane looked at Richard with a look of surprise.

Richard nodded solemnly, he didn't go around in circles with Sloan, and the chips he said were the chips he wanted.

"Are you sure?" Sloane asked again.

The reason why he asked Richard so continuously was also to get a definite answer from Richard.

If the Jazz trade for a top-10 draft pick from another team and Richard doesn't trade again, Sloan will be killed.

They want a top-10 pick, and they might get a quality rookie, but what if they don't? That will affect the overall strength of the team, after all, this top-10 pick is not picked up for nothing, and Sloan needs to come up with chips to trade.

"Jerry, my old fellow, I don't have to lie to you about this."

"But I hope you can do it soon, not too long."

Sloan nodded with surprise on his face and agreed, this kind of thing doesn't need to be said by Richard, they will definitely do it quickly.

After all, after getting Millsap, they also have to run in to a certain extent.

……

In this game against the Jazz, the Pirates won easily again, O'Neal was rested again tonight, and Oden got the chance to start, cutting down 30 points and 12 rebounds.

After winning this game, Richard has led the team to 23 consecutive victories, and the opening winning streak in his heart still hasn't been able to get it.

However, Richard is not in a hurry, as long as he keeps winning, this reward will definitely be in his pocket in the end.

23 games can't work, that's 33 games, if it doesn't work, it will win 73 games, and if it doesn't work, it will win all the seasons, and Richard really doesn't believe that he can't get this reward.

Now with the upgrade of the team's lineup, Richard feels that the team has a big advantage against the Spurs.

As for the Lakers, Richard has not played against them yet, and the situation is unknown......

However, both of these teams are Western Conference teams, and both only need to play against each other, and even if they lose all four games, the Buccaneers can put up a jaw-dropping record.

……

By mid-December, Richard had finally ushered in the most valuable game, against the Spurs.

The result was not beyond Richard's expectations, the Spurs' current interior lineup is no longer what it used to be, and the original Spurs' interior advantage is now gone.

Duncan certainly still has some advantage, but the advantage is almost negligible.

The Spurs' strength has remained almost unchanged from last season, while the Pirates have improved a lot.

Originally, the Pirates were able to beat the Spurs in the Finals, not to mention that their strength has improved now.

After the victory over the Spurs, the Pirates are still undefeated, and such a terrifying record has already made fans label the champion on the Pirates.

To say that the happiest person in the entire Pirates team is not Richard, nor the original lineup of the team, but O'Neal, who joined the Pirates team this year.

"God, I can't describe how I feel right now!"

"We started with almost 30 games and didn't lose a single game, can you imagine? This is simply a miracle that God cannot do! "At the post-game press conference against the Spurs, O'Neal was brought in by Richard for a press conference.

Without waiting for the reporters to speak, O'Neill continued to speak to himself.

"The only thing I regret now is that I didn't play for Richard sooner, and God, if we had joined forces sooner, we'd probably have at least ten championship rings by now!" O'Neill held out his hands......

The reporters in the audience rolled their eyes, and played for Richard earlier? Have you forgotten about the fight you had with Richard a few years ago?

Have you forgotten what you shouted at Richard to single-hand?

Even in the previous offseason, you said that you were very unhappy that you were traded to the Pirates, and you were very unhappy to play for Richard!

Now that you've been playing for less than half a season, you're starting to smell really good?

However, even if these reporters slandered in their hearts, the face of the big shark must still be given, and O'Neill was not debunked on the spot.

And they think O'Neal's words are actually right, if O'Neal and Richard form a team at their peak, it will be really terrifying, and there may really be ten championships now.

The most dominant interior player in history, with Richard, the magical coach, and four All-Star-level outside players at random, the championship is appropriate.

Richard sat on the side and laughed, O'Neal actually has a lot of benefits to staying in the team......

Not to mention anything else, he really has a hand in enlivening the atmosphere in the team, although his mouth is a little poisonous, but he has no bad intentions, and he is not the kind of player who likes to bully people.

The newcomers in the team also have a lot of respect for O'Neal, an old-timer, especially Oden, who has become a lot more mature under O'Neal's experience, and he has a lot of respect for O'Neal.

If it rests on other champions, with this kind of strength, it may not be satisfied with the substitute position for a long time.

But Oden had no complaints and worked diligently to play as a substitute for O'Neal.

It can also be seen from this that Auden's character is really good, which is very satisfying to Richard.

……

After the victory over the Spurs, the annual All-Star poll is about to begin.

Richard's plan this year is to have four All-Stars on the team, and it shouldn't be difficult as it stands.

Milicic, Paul, Roy and O'Neal will definitely be selected, there is no doubt about that.

All four are some of the most important players in the league in a certain area.

Milicic plays a big forward, the strongest forward in the league is the Spurs in the West, and the strongest power forward in the East must be Milicic, even if Garnett comes to the East, his current popularity and status may not be able to catch up with Milicic.

Milicic is too young, and from time to time there are amazing second passes, and his popularity is terrifying.

Paul is now the league's strongest playmaker, and his assists per game are far ahead of Nash.

And Paul's defensive strength in the No. 1 position can almost be called the best in the league, and the old Kidd is old after all.

Roy is the league's leading scorer, and in a sense, he's the league's most offensive firepower.

O'Neill is the most important veteran over the age of 35 in the league......

If such four players can't make it to the All-Star, it's really unacceptable.

The guarantee is that these four can make it to the All-Star, and as for whether Granger or Oden can make the All-Star, it depends on their luck.

……

On December 29th, Eastern fans ushered in their most anticipated game.

The Buccaneers play at home against Green Kai.

In the previous schedule, the Pirates played against Green Kai once, and Green Kai lost quite miserably......

However, in that duel, the Big Three of Green Kai had not yet taken shape, and this was the first time that Green Kai faced off against the Eastern Overlord Pirates after forming a Big Three lineup.

Richard is also looking forward to this game, although he knows that Green Kai can't beat the Pirates, but he also wants to see Green Kai in this Big Three lineup.

"Coach, can you comment on our lineup?" Before the game began, Pierce walked up to Richard with a smile.

"Yes, Angie did something this time......" Richard said with a smile.

Pierce smiled bitterly, of course he knew that Richard and Angie were not dealing with each other, and it was normal to lose Angie at the moment.

Richard said that Green Kai's lineup is good, but in fact, it is not nonsense, the two giants introduced by Green Kai are still quite scientific.

An inside Garnett, plus a quarterback Ray Allen, does not conflict with Pierce's position, and the style of play of these three is also a perfect match, and Angie's reinforcements are indeed quite powerful.

It's just that the bench lineup is a bit scum......

In fact, this season can almost be said to be the only chance for Green Kai to win the championship, if they can't win the championship this season, let alone the pirates in the future, they can't beat the Western giants.

The reason is very simple, these three giants are all veterans over thirty years old, and they are all at the tail of their peak, and their strength is definitely not as good as a year, and the chances of winning the championship will become smaller and smaller.

But this kind of thing, Richard will definitely not say to Pierce, and now Pierce is proud of the spring breeze, and Richard can't bear to hit him.

……

Garnett was warming up, and he also saw Richard talking to Pierce, and sighed secretly in his heart.

He was so terrified of Richard that he didn't know where it came from.

……

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the starters for both sides began to take the field.

O'Neal, Milicic, Granger, Roy and Paul, Richard didn't pull up the big and put out the Pirates' strongest starting lineup tonight.

The starting lineup of Green Kai is two fat Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen and alien Cassel.

Kassel previously played for the Clippers and was on the Green Kai lineup a few days ago as Green Kai's starting point guard......

There is no doubt that the point guard position of the Green Kai is a considerable shortcoming, and they could have had a Rondo.

But now Rondo has long been cut off by Richard......

In other words, the strength of this Green Kai team may not be as good as the Green Kai under normal circumstances.

……

As soon as he started, Paul grasped the weakness of Kassel's aging and slow movement, and directly used Milicic's block to throw and shoot.

Then in Green Kai's offensive round, Ray Allen shot three points from the outside, but unfortunately missed, and the rebound was grabbed by O'Neal under the basket.

The second fat Perkins is not a newcomer, he entered the league in 03, although he has played the ball in recent years, but most of the time he has come off the bench, even if he plays the starter, he has played less than 25 minutes.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if O'Neill is old now, he is far from being able to compete with the second fat.
