After returning to Detroit with the top pick, the boss Davidson seemed to be rejuvenated, and the whole person smiled twenty years younger.

Getting the champion lottery is a good sign!

The old man was more superstitious, otherwise, he wouldn't have had to let Richard bring the holy water to the lottery in the first place.

Now that the No. 1 pick is in hand, in the old man's opinion, this is a sign that the Pistons are going to rise.

This is proof of God's providence!

With God's favor, the Pistons can't rise if they want to......

……

When the news that the Pistons relied on Holy Water to get the champion sign was made public by the old man, it directly made the league's teams uncomfortable.

The teams that didn't bring their "mascots" to the draw are now regretting it.

What if you brought some mascots to the lottery? Maybe it's their team that gets the top pick now......

And those teams who went to the draw with holy water, cigars and red pants were even more uncomfortable at the moment.

We also took the holy water, why did we sign it for Richard to take it.

Could it be that we are a fake holy water?!

No, I'll have to ask the old man Davidson where they got the holy water.

……

"Hey, Golden Dragon......"

"yes, this needs to be done as soon as possible."

"The company is in your name, it's inconvenient for me to come forward."

"The income is only three or seven points, you are three and I are seven, how about it?"

After Richard was busy with the affairs of the lottery meeting, he immediately found the golden dragon and asked him to hurry up to handle the affairs of the brokerage company.

Now that the playoffs are coming to an end, the draft is about to begin, Yao Ming is going to sign a rookie contract, and many West Lafayette players are facing the problem of contract extensions.

Richard must have wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly get all the West Lafayette players together and sign with an agency.

The establishment of the brokerage company is not a difficult task, Huang Jinlong found a few young people with broker qualification certificates, and then the company was completely opened.

The name of this brokerage company is very confusing.

It is called the West Lafayette brokerage company, and its headquarters are in the West Lafayette ......

Although judging from the name, it is obvious that it has an inseparable relationship with Richard, and the relationship between the golden dragon and Richard is also known to many people.

But it's useless to know that Richard has a relationship with this agency, because they can't come up with evidence.

……

It is foreseeable that it will not be long before a predator-level company will emerge in the player brokerage industry.

Think about the number of West Lafayette players, think about the quality of West Lafayette players, it's horrible.

I'm afraid that the players under the other agents in the league combined, are not as high as the salaries of the West Lafayette agency.

As for resources, that is, finding endorsement contracts for players, there is actually no need to worry too much.

When a company grows up and becomes the first in the industry, there are countless resources to find the door.

Richard firmly believes that the Golden Dragon can definitely do a perfect job at this point.

In terms of ability, the ability of the golden dragon convinced Richard quite ......

Just like a few years ago, Richard and Golden Dragon made the player fighting event, although Richard has been too busy to pay attention to this event for a long time.

But the golden dragon did it alone, and it was still very popular.

At present, the scale is not limited to the NBA, last offseason, there were NBA players entering the game.

The effect of this battle between female players is simply leveraged, and it directly brings huge benefits.

Mainly gimmicks and feet......

One of the two female players in the NBA is Becky Hamon, the female assistant coach of the Spurs in the future.

Domestic fans don't know much about Becky Hamon's career.

But Lao Mei's side praised Becky Harmon in the early part of her career, and she was known as the number one beauty in the world women's basketball team.

……

Women, it's not too normal to be jealous, and it may be because of the name of this No. 1 beauty that Becky Harmon has been ostracized in the NBA.

How far has it been crowded......

Becky Harmon later wanted to enter the U.S. women's basketball team to participate in the Olympics, but other players didn't want her, causing Becky Harmon to join the Russian women's basketball team in a fit of anger.

The relationship between the United States and Russia is, anyway, competitive on all fronts.

Anyway, this Becky Harmon is also a temperamental master, and he will "join the enemy" if he disagrees.

……

This time, she played her teammate Theresa Witherspoon in a brawl match.

On the one hand, the new hatred and old hatred of these two people have reached the point of completely tearing their faces, and on the other hand, they are actually aiming for the high appearance fees and bonuses.

The salaries of NBA players are not as high as those of NBA players, and the gap is even ridiculously large.

In 2018, the NBA's maximum salary was $115,000, but what about the NBA? That's more than $40 million......

James or Curry, the salary of one person is higher than the salary of more than 300 players in the entire NBA!

The maximum salary is only more than 110,000 yuan, and the rookie contract is only 40,000 or 50,000 US dollars!

Think about the price in 2018, the maximum salary of an NBA player in this era may be less than $100,000.

And if they win this fight, they can earn close to $3 million, which is a salary they can't earn in their entire careers.

Whoever rests on it will definitely not refuse such a good thing......

As a result, in this fighting match, Becky Harmon won and got a huge prize money!

……

What Richard and the Golden Dragon didn't expect was that this incident directly caused an uproar in the NBA.

Women already like to tear, but seeing that Becky Harmon has made millions of dollars, all kinds of tearing in the NBA are getting more and more intense.

Sometimes, the brawls on the court are even more exaggerated and larger than the men's basketball team!

In this case, it has really attracted a large number of male fans to the NBA.

After all, a group of women are fighting on the field, and the tickets are cheap, how to look at this kind of thing, how cost-effective.

……

At present, this offseason, the Golden Dragons have already booked three groups of NBA female players to matchup.

As for the NBA, there are a little less, only two groups.

Five matchups in one offseason is already quite a big deal, and at least in Richard's opinion, the martial arts event has completely risen.

……

Now that the draw is over, Richard has successfully won the top prize.

The next step is naturally to cultivate Yao Ming well, and Jabbar comes in handy at this time.

Two trainers, plus one Abdul-Jabbar, are already starting to train Yao Ming now.

After all, Yao Ming's joining the Pistons is already a sure thing.

In the future, James practiced with the Cavaliers and was punished, which is different from the current situation of Yao Ming.

At that time, James had not yet signed up for the draft, so the Cavaliers' operation was a violation.

And now Yao Ming has already signed up for the draft, so the alliance can't find anything wrong here.

……

The list of players who participated in this draft was already in Richard's hands from Myers.

There was only one West Lafayette player running, and that was Prince Prince, the Younger.

By the time Prince left, the West Lafayette players at Purdue were all but extinct, with only David Lee remaining.

This made Richard uncomfortable......

It's not that he doesn't want to help Purdue, but the quality is not as good as one session, and he can't help it at all.

If he really worked harder, Richard could have helped Purdue find more players, but the key is that Richard is busy now.

How can you still stare at Purdue University every day......

As the only West Lafayette seedling in this draft, Richard naturally has the idea of winning Prince.

And it's not unrealistic.

Because Purdue's record in the past two years has not been outstanding, Prince's draft pick will not necessarily be very high.

In Richard's opinion, it is possible that Prince's draft pick will be about the same as it would normally be.

That is, the twenty-third pick in the first round.

After the frenzy of the West Lafayette players in previous years, the teams in the league are now calming down a lot.

The main reason is that Purdue is now Wang Erxiao's New Year, and every year is not as good as a year.

In the eyes of various teams, the players in the current Purdue team may not be selected by Richard, so in this case, there is no great need to deliberately select players from Purdue University.

This is naturally a good thing for Richard, and he will have a better chance of getting a West Lafayette player in the future.

……

In the 2002 draft, in Richard's opinion, the quality was okay.

Of course, it can only be said that it is improvised, not too good.

Yao Ming, Stoudemire, Boozer, and Caron Butler are some of the players who have been selected as All-Stars in this rookie class.

There are only four of them, which is really not much......

In addition to these four, the strength of some players is okay.

Dunleavy Jr. with the 3rd pick, Drew Gooden with the 4th pick, Nene Hilario with the 7th pick, Prince with the 23rd pick, Matt Barnes with the 45th pick, and Diamond Scola with the 55th pick.

There are a lot of high-quality interior players produced in this year......

But now, after Richard won Yao Ming and Boozer, there is not much lack of inside lines.

Dunleavy Jr., Gooden and Nene are definitely not considered by Richard.

It's not that these three people are not strong......

The strength is okay, but Richard can use the top ten picks to choose such a player, and Richard is still a little difficult to accept.

Think about Richard's previous time with the Trail Blazers, a top-10 pick, a Kobe Bryant and a Nowitzki.

Both of these are historical supergiants......

And these three people, their strength can only be said to be quasi-all-stars, not even all-stars, and they may not even be quasi-all-stars.

In that case, if Richard were to be selected with a high pick, he would certainly not be able to.

It feels like a waste......

Moreover, Richard does not have such a high-pick draft pick in addition to a first-round pick.

So Richard can only target players from Prince onwards......

……

At the moment, he only has two draft picks in his hands.

A No. 1 pick, and a second-round pick with the 37th pick.

The No. 1 pick was undoubtedly used to get Yao Ming, and as for the 37th pick in that round, it was not enough to take Boozer.

Under normal circumstances, Boozer was selected with the 34th pick in the second round, and the 37th pick in Richard's hands definitely can't.

Then you can only trade upwards, and it is not particularly difficult to trade a second-round lottery upwards.

Or directly trade for a first-round pick that is at the bottom of the first round, which is not impossible.

Sometimes the bottom of the first round is not as valuable as a second-round top spot.

The reason for this is that the first-round pick must be given a guaranteed four-year contract, and at most a team option will be added later.

This is very risky, in case you pick a stinky tomato and rotten bird eggs, it is a loss-making deal......

The key is that there is a guaranteed contract, and there is nothing the team can do to fire this player.

As for the second-round pick, it is more flexible, the team can give the contract at will, because there is no standard contract, so the team can add some ancillary conditions at will, and if the situation is not right, it can be cut at any time.

For example, the Chinese player Zhou Qi in later generations ......

……

Richard immediately contacted the Kings' Adelman.

They have a 29th pick in the first round this season.

"Old man, it's been a good day......" Richard called Adelman and teased.

Isn't Adelman's life good now......

Playing the top record in the regular season record, it's all due to Adelman.

You must know the king of previous years, that was the role of a super fish belly.

"Hey, I'm going to be eliminated by the Spurs, what's so good!" Adelman's tone was melancholy.

They are currently playing the Western Conference semifinals against the Spurs, and they have been pushed to the edge of the cliff by the Spurs.

With a score of 3:1, the king is about to be eliminated......

In this case, Adelman's mood was naturally not very good.

Richard didn't know how to comfort him, he couldn't comfort him at all, the problem of the team's strength.

"On the contrary, it's you, you actually drew the champion lot, God, your kid's luck is amazing!" Adelman was also surprised to learn that Richard had won the lottery.

Richard snorted and didn't continue to talk about the winning lottery.

If you get cheap, you will sell it well, or you will not make people unhappy.

If this kind of thing happened when he first entered the league, the young Richard would probably have had a good deal with Adelman.

But now he has matured too much, so he is naturally a lot more stable.

"Old man, this time I have a request for you again, I want to ask if you have any plans to make a move in the first round." Richard asked with a smile.

"Oh? You're not thinking about getting the champion in exchange, are you? That's a good thing......" Adelman quipped.

Richard was a little speechless, it was really hard to talk to these old guys about deals......

"Old man, don't be kidding, I'm talking about serious business, I want to trade our 37th pick for your 29th pick."

"It's not impossible, but ......," Adelman muttered for a moment.

"I heard that you helped old Nelson buy a Li Nailong two years ago? It's the Mavericks' main bench in the team now......"

Richard was stunned, good fellow, old Nelson told Adelman about this?!

Looking at Adelman's posture, I guess I also want to see if I can do something good with Richard.

A first-round pick with the 29th pick, Adelman certainly doesn't pay much attention to it.

If you can get a first-time substitute-caliber player from Richard, you can give this first-round pick to Richard......

"Old man, I know what you mean!"

"Don't worry, I won't let my friends suffer, or else, I have a good defensive small forward here." Richard said to Adelman with a smile.

"It's done!" Adelman did not hesitate at all, and shouted directly about the deal.

Richard's behavior is definitely a relief in the snow, and the current Kings' lineup is actually quite perfect, otherwise, it would not be possible to play the first record in the league.

But the bench lacked depth and a lack of defensive stalwarts.

It's a great joy to get a defensive sapper-type striker.

In this day and age, there are a lot of offensive firepower frontguard players, so defensive sapper type strikers are also starting to be valuable.

In Adelman's opinion, he has made a lot of money this time!
