There is no doubt that the Hornets made this offer with sincerity, and they did not open their mouths.

Although Buck Buck has had a brilliant career, and even when he retires, his jersey will be retired by the Nets, but now Buck has played in the league for fifteen seasons, and there is not much energy left in his body......

The current Buck is in the Trail Blazers, averaging only about 7+6 per game......

But even though Buck's strength has shrunk a lot from his peak, Richard never had the idea of trading him.

It just so happens that there are many interior players in the Trail Blazers team right now, and with Buck, an experienced veteran, it will definitely benefit Big Ben and others!

The purpose of the Hornets asking for Buck, Richard guessed that he must also want to continue to make up for the shortcomings of strong forwards, which is not uncommon in the NBA.

They took out next year's first-round pick in exchange for Ryder, a swingman who averaged nearly 20 points per game, and the team's old backup quarterback Dale Curry was naturally useless, so he just took it out to make a trade......

The 32-year-old right-wing shooter is also a well-known veteran in the league, having won the Sixth Man of the Season honor in the first two seasons.

may not be as brilliant as Buck Williams, but the current instant combat power is stronger than Buck!

Therefore, such an offer from the wasp is actually really sincere.

Richard, who was originally reluctant to trade Buck, had some thoughts in his mind after seeing Dell Curry's name......

Dell Curry, although there are bright spots in his career, the biggest highlight of his whole life is the birth of a son named Stephen Curry......

Of course, the youngest son Seth Curry is also good, especially the three-point shot, which is also the level of the league.

Such two sons who are three points of God, it is impossible to say that there is no credit for the training of old Curry!

Old Curry himself has a good three-point strength, coupled with that good three-point training ability, which makes Richard excited about the Hornets' offer!

Buck Williams is a veteran who is indeed valuable, especially when it comes to passing on young interior experience!

But the old Curry's three-point adjustment ability, in Richard's opinion, is even more precious!

In this day and age, there are only a handful of three-point masters, and the elder Curry is definitely the top handful......

The first generation of three-pointers must be Larry Bird, the second generation is Reggie Miller, the third generation is Ray Allen, and the fourth generation is Stephen Curry!

At present, the old Curry is in the second generation of time, and in Richard's opinion, the old Curry's three points are really not much worse than Reggie Miller......

What's more, Richard actually values not the three-point combat power of the old Curry, but his ability to adjust the three-point!

Wouldn't it be nice to trade the old Curry, let him retire with the Trail Blazers, join Richard's coaching staff after retiring, and help Richard coach the newcomers in the future!

Even if you can't train Curry's cross-era three-point shooter, if you can have Curry's seven or eight successes, it's quite powerful!

In this case, Richard agreed to the Hornets' trade offer without saying a word!

Ryder and Buckbuck are theirs......

Richard got the Hornets' first-round pick for next year and elite veteran shooter Dele Curry.

In this transaction, Richard took advantage of the loophole of the transaction exception and got a $3 million transaction exception!

……

The only thing that hurts Richard is that Richard can't be sure what kind of record the Hornets will play next season after getting Ryder!

The Hornets finished the season at the bottom of the East, but in the offseason they sold the team's future potential in exchange for Divac and Ryder, which is amazing, and the Hornets' record may skyrocket!

If this situation really happens, then the draft pick that Richard took will undoubtedly not be high......

But there is no particularly suitable team to trade at the moment, and Richard, the fish belly on the western side, inquired, and no one wants to buy Ryder at a high price!

In fact, if you think about the historical trade between the Trail Blazers and the Timberwolves, it is just James Robinson plus a first-round pick from the Trail Blazers, a playoff-level team, which is really cheap......

If Ryder can really sell for a high price, the Timberwolves aren't so stupid to cheap the Trail Blazers.

……

As for who will teach the rookie interior defensive experience after Buck Williams is gone, Richard actually has a candidate in mind!

That's Ranbill!

That's right, Demon Ranbill......

The only reason why Richard has never made up his mind to let Ranbir join his coaching staff is that he is afraid that Ranbir will teach him to Big Ben......

Richard wants toughness, toughness on the pitch!

Tough doesn't mean dirty, Richard made it clear!

However, judging from Ranbier's future coaching of the WNBA, he has relented in this aspect after retiring, and the WNBA championship team he coached did not win the championship with dirt!

Moreover, as the head coach, Richard has absolute authority in the team, and once he finds that the situation is wrong, he can stop it in time!

……

"Lee, if you call me one day later, I'll be coaching those girls in the WNBA......" Richard called Ranbill, and Ranbill's voice came from the phone.

Richard didn't know if it was right or wrong to let Ranbier join his coaching staff!

But Richard knew that even if it was wrong, it wouldn't be too wrong!

……

On August 1st, the month-long trading freeze period finally ended!

This year, Richard picked a total of three rookies for the Trail Blazers, namely Big Ben, O'Neal Jr. and Kobe!

The freeze period is over, and these newcomers are naturally going to start signing their rookie contracts!

But the rookie contract ran into some troubles, to be precise, between Richard and the Trail Blazers management!

Kobe Bryant and O'Neal Jr.'s contracts are nothing to say, the 95-year CBA agreement is limited to death, as much as it should be, and the Trail Blazers can't give more or less......

is the only point of Big Ben, as a second-round show, originally according to Richard's plan, he didn't give much, and gave him the same treatment as O'Neal Jr.!

Not to mention giving Kobe Bryant a contract of $4.5 million for 3 years with the No. 8 pick, and giving a salary specification of $3 million for 3 years for O'Neal Jr., Richard feels that there is no big problem!

But the Trailblazer management is a fryer!

The second-round show gave a three-year, $3 million guarantee contract, and in the future generations, it's not a big deal, and there are things from time to time!

But now, it's a dumbfounded contract!

No team has ever offered such a lucrative contract to a second-round pick before!

……

Although Paul Allen gave Richard absolute control over the construction of the team's roster, and the Trail Blazers management also executed according to Paul Allen's intentions......

A second-round pick can be given a salary of $3 million for three years, which is obviously a waste in the eyes of Trail Blazers management!

Even the Trail Blazers management wondered if Richard had a private deal with Big Ben, otherwise, Richard would not have given a second-round pick such a lucrative contract unless he was crazy!

Richard is naturally not crazy, he knows very well that Big Ben's strength is definitely worth this three-year, three-million-dollar contract!

If it weren't for the fraud, I'm afraid he would have been selected in the first round, and in this case, his salary would not be much less than O'Neal Jr., after all, O'Neal Jr. is also a rookie in the second half of the first round.

Now Big Ben can be said to have taken a risk to defect to himself, how could Richard let Big Ben suffer!

So this contract, Richard is bound to promote!

Pioneers have to sign and sign, and they have to sign if they don't!
