The league was shaken, and the popularity of the Pirates winning the championship was directly robbed by the news that Paul was put on the shelf.

Richard had already expected this situation.

A player like Paul is a great temptation for any team, and if you think that Paul was traded by the Clippers at the end of his prime, he could trade almost half of the team from the Rockets......

And at that time, Paul didn't even touch the floor of the West.

In this case, Paul is so valuable, causing so many teams to rush wildly, not to mention the current Paul.

Paul is now extremely young, his career has just begun, and he already has a lot of important honors, and it is not too much to say that he is the first point guard in the league.

Although Nash led the Suns and had a very stable record, after all, he had never led the team to win a championship in the Suns, so many fans felt that Paul was stronger than Nash.

This is actually true, Nash's defense is not a grade at all compared to Paul, and the offensive efficiency Nash is slightly higher than Paul, but this gap is far from making up for the gap on the defensive end.

The league's No. 1 point guard is about to be traded, and it's no wonder that teams aren't crazy.

Richard anticipated the current madness, so he put Miles in charge of the deal, and he was only responsible for the final decision, so as not to waste words with the teams.

I have to say that Myers is really talented in trading, and the entire trading process was well organized by him, so it's no wonder that this guy can help the Warriors build a dynasty in the future.

This is a talent, a real talent.

"BOSS, this is the offer of the teams, their initial offer has been rejected by me once, this is their second or even third offer, you can see first." Miles pulled out a form and handed it to Richard.

Richard took it and began to look at it carefully.

"The Bulls are willing to sign the champion?" Richard asked, smacking his lips and smiling.

Miles nodded, "That's right, in addition to this Nosioni pick, they are also willing to take Nocioni and a '09 second round pick......"

The Bulls are completely crazy, not only willing to take out the precious No. 1 pick in their hands, but also willing to take out the team's forward guard Nocioni, and a second-round pick in '09.

Nocioni played on the bench last season because of the overlap with Deng Yingqiao, but he played less than 25 minutes per game as a substitute, but he was able to contribute 13.2 points to score, and the defensive end was also remarkable......

If it weren't for the Bulls having Deng Yingqiao in the team, I'm afraid they would really be reluctant to take out Nocioni.

The Bulls can be said to have made a lot of money, but if they can really get Paul, they will definitely not lose.

Although the champion sign is precious, the ghost knows whether it will be selected for parallel goods......

In the last five years, there have been high-quality champions like James, Howard and Durant.

But there are also "parallel imports" like Bogut and Bagnani, which cannot be regarded as parallel imports to be precise, but they do not match the rank of champions.

If this No. 1 pick can draft players like James and Howard, the Bulls will definitely earn it.

Now the problem is that no one can guarantee that they will be selected, it is better to take a more secure Paul, Paul's strength is no worse than these three high-quality champions.

The Bulls management must have made a lot of noise, and if they could get Paul, there was really no need to risk using the top pick.

"Let's put it aside and see what the other teams have to offer." Richard nodded and continued to look at the offers from other teams.

What Richard didn't expect was that although the Heat also submitted an offer, this offer did not include the list in their hands.

They are willing to trade Haslem, Bai Qiao, a '09 first-round pick and a second-round pick for Chris Paul.

I have to say, Pat Riley is starting to think about good things again......

The Heat have the lowest record in the league this year, and at first glance their '09 pick may be high, but Richard knows that once the Heat get Paul with such cheap chips, they can enter the playoffs next year with their eyes closed, and the value of the '09 draft pick will be small.

"Let's just rule it out for the Heat, Riley dreams all day long and treats people like fools......" Richard laughed disdainfully.

Miles also laughed, and he knew that Richard definitely didn't look down on the Heat's offer.

Richard is interested in the Heat and the Bulls in the East, mainly because he likes their draft picks.

However, Richard promised Paul that he would trade him to the West as much as possible, and if the West had about the same leverage as the Bulls, then Richard would fulfill Paul's request and trade him to a Western team.

Richard looked at the SuperSonics' offer, and they were willing to give the No. 4 pick in '08 plus the team's scoring champion last season, Wilcox, in exchange for Chris Paul.

Richard directly ruled out the offer, Wilcox's contract is not small, but the strength is a bit watery, and the most important thing the Buccaneers are now is inside players.

The following season, the SuperSonics will move the city and change their name to the Thunder, and there will be no Seattle SuperSonics in the league in the future.

Don't look at the chips given by the SuperSonics, but in fact, they are much more hungry for Paul than other teams.

This team is simply miserable, they now have very few chips on hand to trade, and the squad is so weak that it is not worth mentioning.

Richard looked at the Grizzlies' offer again, which left Richard dumbfounded.

Mike Conley, Hakeem Warrick, Darrell Arthur, Quinton Rose, Marco Jalic, Kwame Brown, plus a No. 5 pick from '08.

"What does this grizzly bear do with us pirates? Could it be that in their eyes, we are a garbage dump? What the hell is this......" Richard said, rolling his eyes.

A No. 5 pick and then six players outside, the Grizzlies are going to tear down the rhythm of the house.

Miles smiled wryly and said, "Maybe they want to show their sincerity as much as possible......"

Richard was also happy, and the Grizzlies team was really a little simple and cute.

Maybe it's really like Miles said, for fear that Richard won't look down on them Grizzly, so he put as many people as possible to make a good impression on Richard and express his sincerity in trading.

The Grizzlies really don't have much advantage in the fight for Paul, and the most valuable thing they have in hand is a No. 5 pick.

As for Mike Conley, his draft pick is very high, but what is more embarrassing is that his rookie season is far less than the top three Durant, Oden and Horford.

Durant, who averaged 22+5+4 data per game in this rookie season, won the honor of best rookie.

And Oden is not as good as Durant in terms of statistics because he doesn't play as much time as Durant, but he also won the honor of the best sixth man.

Even Horford, who is the worst mixed team, is close to 10+10 double-double data in his rookie season......

Conley only has about 9 points and 4 assists as a rookie, although he has always played the starting position in the Grizzlies, but his starting position is actually quite unstable, and he may be replaced by Lowry at any time.

The Grizzlies don't have a shortage of point guards, but they lack a point guard like Paul who can lead the team to victory.

Conley's performance last season was actually no better than Lowry's, and the two had almost identical stats......

And Lowry is also a rookie, and the Grizzlies' idea now is to take out Conley, who looks more valuable but is not stronger than Lowry, in exchange for Paul, and then let Lowry play Paul as a substitute.

Of course, you can also sell Lowry in exchange for some chips to strengthen the team's roster.

Richard could probably guess the Grizzlies management's plan, but their plan was fine, but it was just bad luck.

If there's one team in the league that's toxic, it's the Grizzlies.

They are not poisonous for a day or two, but for many years in a row.

……

Last season, when I played less than half of the game and sold the big boss of the team, there was nothing to say about it.

And in this '08 draft, the Grizzlies actually did a toxic thing.

They picked Kevin Love with the fifth overall pick and then made a deal with the Timberwolves in exchange for O.J. Mayo......

I have to admit that Mayo is indeed a basketball genius, but he has too many problems.

It's a thorn in the thorn.

The first is the problem of drug prohibition on him, this guy has been caught taking drugs by the league more than once, and the first time the league was gentle, he was only banned for ten games.

Later, he was caught using banned drugs on the plane again, and by the time he was 16 years old, this guy had been caught for not knowing how many times, and he was directly banned by the league for two years.

In addition to the issue of drug prohibition, the character of this cargo is also a huge problem, fighting teammate Tony Allen on the plane when playing away......

The most important thing is that he also has a lot of injury problems.

With so many questions gathered together, even if he is a Jordan-level basketball genius, he must be cool.

Imagine that if the grizzly bear had chosen to stay with Lefou, the fate of the grizzly bear would have been different.

Lefu is not a historical-level power forward, but he has responsibility, otherwise, why would he have the nickname of Guofu......

can be inside and out, and the ability to explode data is also strong, after all, it is a 30+30 player.

has a good personality, and I've never heard of Guofu tearing up with his teammates.

……

Of course, there are more than so many toxic things about the Grizzlies, such as renewing Conley with the biggest contract in history, such as signing Chandler Parsons with a maximum salary......

Conley was good, but that contract also limited the Grizzlies' future signings, causing the team to fall apart.

"Miles, go talk to the Grizzlies."

"Of these six players, I don't want anyone else except Kwame Brown, and you ask the Grizzlies to trade the remaining five for a first-round pick, preferably for 10 or 11 years." Richard clapped his head.
