At present, the difference between the Pistons' lineup and normal situation is still quite large, but even so, Iverson's addition does not actually give the Pistons the strength to compete with the Pisrates.

Even because Iverson's organizational ability is not as good as Billups, it affects the play of Yao Ming on the inside, which may reduce the strength of the Pistons.

The interior line suitable for Iverson's partner is a blue-collar center like Mutombo, Yao Ming definitely does not belong to the category of blue-collar centers, and if Yao Ming is used as a blue-collar center, it is absolutely tyrannical.

Richard naturally knew that this deal would not end well, but he did not stop it.

Because even if it is blocked, it is actually difficult to stop Iverson from retiring prematurely.

Iverson is not young, and no team in the league today would treat Iverson as the full core of the team.

The Nuggets definitely can't stay, and the backcourt two-gun combination with Anthony is really unsatisfactory, not to mention the championship, and they haven't even reached the Western Conference finals.

If you don't go to the Pistons, where can Iverson go......

In some ways, Iverson and Kobe Bryant are the kind of people who are the kind of players who are absolutely unacceptable to play off the bench, even if they are no longer strong.

The reason why Iverson broke with the Pistons is actually here, the Pistons are ready to let Iverson play as a substitute, but he is naturally unwilling.

This season is Iverson's contract year, with an annual salary of more than $20 million, and Richard does not want to make a trade with the Nuggets and place Iverson in the Buccaneers.

The main reason is that the contract amount is too big, and if this Pirate team were completely his own, Richard might really be able to do such an irrational thing, but now the key is to have half of Jordan's shares.

After Iverson and the Pistons broke up, Richard pondered about it again, and then Iverson would normally sign a one-year $3.5 million contract with the Grizzlies.

If Richard comes forward, Iverson will definitely not join the Grizzlies and will definitely come to the Buccaneers.

……

The deal on Iverson's side has just been reached, and the Rockets have bad news, and Maddy will be reimbursed directly for the season and will not be able to continue playing this season.

History hasn't changed, and Maddie finally reached a turning point in his career this season.

One after another players who have been trained by themselves are beginning to retire, and it is strange that Richard's heart can feel better.

Thankfully, top stars like Maddie and Iverson are still remembered by countless fans who have retired from their careers.

But players like Raheem, Barry Jr. and Miller basically don't have much impression of them from later generations.

Richard is now wondering whether to get the BIG3 league out in advance, so that these retired West Lafayette players can have a chance to continue to shine.

The so-called BIG3 league is actually a 3V3 basketball league made by two people in the entertainment industry, and Iverson also mixed in it, some shares.

It's just that most of the players in this game are retired NBA players, so the attention is still quite high.

From being unknown at the beginning, to becoming a basketball feast in the NBA offseason, it only took a mere five years.

Richard thought about it, and it seemed that he could really start preparing for this in advance.

In the next few years, there will be a wave of retirements from Silafayette, with several players retiring almost every year.

If you make a BIG3 league in advance, you have a good chance of success.

However, this matter will have to wait until Iverson retires, and then Iverson can take the lead in this BIG3 league, after all, he is the big brother of West Lafayette.

……

In mid-December, the Buccaneers finally ran into the Warriors.

The Golden Dragons are living quite well now, and after taking ownership of the Warriors, although the team's record is not very good, it can't stand the support of the fans, and the attendance rate this season is still good.

The most important thing is that the NBA's eight-year, $7.4 billion contract with ESPN will take effect this year, which has led to an increase in the market value of many teams in the league.

It is equivalent to saying that the golden dragon did nothing, and directly made a sum of dollars.

This broadcast contract has benefited the teams a lot, but if you compare it with the next broadcast contract, it will definitely not be enough to see at all.

The next broadcast contract, as high as 9 years and 24 billion US dollars, directly doubled the market value of many teams......

Even if the Golden Dragon does nothing in the next eight years, the Warriors have always been the league's bottom-to-bottom record, as long as they survive these eight years, and wait until the next 9-year $24 billion broadcast contract is signed, the Golden Dragon will be able to make a lot of money.

Richard asked the Golden Dragons to buy the Warriors, largely because of this contract.

At this point in time, no matter which team is acquired, as long as it can be bought and the price is not too outrageous, it will definitely be a sure win.

"Let's put it in the mess this season, look at the situation of the draft, if it doesn't work, continue to mess up next season, get through the two years first, and I'll help you pick a few decent newcomers." Richard sat in the old Nelson's head coach's office.

At this moment, there are many people sitting in the office, including Golden Dragon, Miles, Old Nelson, and the LOGO man.

Hearing Richard's words, several people smiled, and the rise of the warriors became a sure thing because of Richard's words.

So what else do they need to do in the next two years? You don't need to do anything, you just have to mess around.

"Lee, should we sell players for draft picks now? We don't have any picks in stock right now. Miles asked with a smile.

Richard waved his hand, but it wasn't necessary.

Martial Saint and Al Harrington are not worth much at the moment, and the instant combat power of the two is okay, the team can't all be new melons and eggs, there must be some veterans.

"There's no need to accumulate draft picks, take your time with the roster build, it's useless to rush it."

"At the moment you don't have to do anything, just sell tickets and lose more games to try to get a higher pick." Richard said with a smile.

In that night's game, the Pirates were merciful, but the Warriors still lost by nearly 20 points.

No way, the lineup gap is too big and too big, if the Pirates open up to play, it will not be just a twenty-point difference.

……

As January draws closer, the All-Star voting for the new season is about to begin.

This season, Richard doesn't need to be so troublesome, and he can directly have the qualification to lead the Eastern All-Star.

If nothing else, Richard will be able to get another supergiant suit this year, and by then he will have seven supergiant suit parts on hand, and he is just around the corner from collecting nine!

It may be three or four years before Richard will have completely collected the supergiant suit, and his child will be about seven years old, which is the age of elementary school.

It is said that it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, and Richard thought about waiting until the supergiant suit was ready, and immediately used it for his children.

As for who to use, Richard must be inclined to use it for Libit, who has the best physical fitness, the second son has little interest in playing, and the younger son is not very good in physical fitness, and whether he can enter the NBA in the future is a matter of two words.

Maybe in a few years, there will be a rising star in the basketball world of the United States......
