Richard has a headache right now......

Because of his trading plan, it was not going well.

Originally, Richard planned to package his first-round 18th and 23rd picks in exchange for a first-round pick in the top nine.

As a result, no one changed ......

Instead, there were all kinds of inquiries, asking Richard what plans he had for this draft pick and which rookie he wanted to choose.

In the eyes of each team, last season's draft was definitely a big year, and this season is definitely a big year, so in this case, the draft pick with a high pick is even more precious......

Two first-round picks and want to trade for a high-pick first-rounder? No one wants to change at all.

Richard wanted to cry, and I don't know where these team executives saw that this draft was a big year......

Well, it can indeed be regarded as a big year, compared to the quality and quantity of stars produced by many draft conferences, but compared to 96 and 98, it can definitely only be regarded as a small year.

Each team treats the high-pick draft pick as a baby bump, holding it tightly in their hands, and has no intention of making a move at all......

Especially since there are no plans to sell it to Richard!

In Richard's draft last season, he actually didn't spend much money at all, and he got three quite good rookies.

In the event that these rookies grow into top stars, perhaps the teams that have traded Richard for draft picks will be listed by the media as the worst trade in history.

The eighth pick was picked by the Pacers, and it seems that Larry Bird's luck is quite bad, and they only got the eighth pick when they were in a bad situation......

Richard tried to contact Larry Bird, but he killed O'Neal Jr., leaving Richard reluctant to abandon his plan to trade with the Pacers.

Xiao Ao definitely can't sell it, he has been cultivating it for so long, and he is about to harvest delicious fruits when he sees it, wouldn't it be stupid to sell it.

Even if he is traded for the eighth pick, Richard estimates that he will definitely have to choose Maddy.

Speaking of which, Maddie's role in Richard's lineup may not be as good as Xiao Ao......

The Trailblazers do not lack external firepower, especially the newcomers' external firepower, and they really don't have the energy and opportunity to cultivate.

In the next season, Richard's focus must be to familiarize himself with the newcomers as much as possible, even if Maddie is selected, he is expected to let Maddie play as a substitute for one season......

In this way, it is extremely not cost-effective to exchange Xiao Ao for Maddie, and Richard will definitely not be able to do this kind of uneconomical deal.

The ninth pick in the lottery was the Raptors......

Richard didn't even ask, the Raptors and Grizzlies are two difficult brothers, you want their draft picks, they can fight with you!

In the last lottery meeting, the draft picks drawn were exactly the same as Richard's memory.

And this lottery meeting, in fact, the change is not big, in the lottery is that the Warriors and the Pacers swapped places, the Pacers got the eighth pick that originally belonged to the Warriors, and the Warriors because of Brad Miller's joining, the record has become a little better, and only the twelfth pick was drawn.

The draft pick after the ninth pick, Richard is useless, and Richard can't get the draft pick after the ninth pick......

That's where Richard has a headache right now, and it looks like it's going to be hard for the Trail Blazers to make any big gains in this draft.

At the end of the first round, there was a good rookie point guard, Bobby Jackson, who won the honor of the best sixth man in his career.

It looks like the Trail Blazers lack a traditional point guard, and going for Bobby Jackson is a good choice, but Richard doesn't really have much interest in the player.

The main thing is that the defense is too bad......

Even if he is selected, Richard will not be able to make him start, and his defensive ability is not worse than Kobe.

Once Bobby Jackson is allowed to start, there will undoubtedly be shortcomings in the bucket defense built by Richard.

Secondly, the organizational ability is very average, and it is not necessarily as strong as Kobe's organizational ability, and it may even be a little worse than Kobe......

What can slightly enter Richard's eyes should be his strength on the offensive end, but the height of 185 is too short to play the No. 2 position.

It can be said that this is a chicken rib, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.

……

As for the second-round show, Richard has now made up his mind to release the martial saint Jackson, let this kid taste the cruelty of the alliance first, and then take this goods under his command......

In the second round, except for Martial Saint Jackson, there is no player that Richard can look down on.

It is equivalent to saying that none of the five draft picks in Richard's hands will be used......

What if I can't go out? Naturally, it was to be sold in exchange for a '98 pick.

With a week to go before the start of the draft, Richard began to contact the league's top teams to prepare to sell off their draft picks.

After suffering the loss of the last trade with the Hornets, Richard was much more cautious this time.

Instead of superstitious memories, he analyzed the current situation of each team and then decided who to trade.

First of all, the veteran Philadelphia 76ers directly excluded Richard, and this team gave Richard a feeling that he was about to rise......

Iversonga is a very good Dazhi, and then Stackhouse is exchanged for a strong blue-collar interior lineman, which is enough to give the Philadelphia 76ers a chance to make the Eastern Conference playoffs!

In the end, Richard received offers from three teams, the Bucks, the Kings and the Pacers.

The Bucks sent it to the door after receiving the grapevine, and Richard didn't go to them for a deal......

For this team, Richard just doesn't have a good impression of it anyway, and of course it can't be said to be as much as the Jazz hate.

The Bucks are willing to trade their top-five first-round picks for next year's first-round pick in exchange for the Trail Blazers' two first-round picks this year plus a second-round pick.

Moreover, the Bucks also made a vague request, that is, to make Richard their temporary adviser to this draft......

To put it bluntly, let Richard help them staff and see who is more suitable to choose with so many draft picks!

Richard scolded the other party angrily on the phone, which was simply a toad yawning, and his tone was not small.

It's not enough for a draft pick to break the top five protection in the first round, and make Richard pay 3 draft picks, and even want Richard to be their dog's head military advisor......

I really haven't woken up yet.

It seems that the Bucks' request is very excessive and absurd, but there are more absurd things in the history of the NBA......

Coincidentally, this also happened to the Trail Blazers.

In the early '80s, Trail Blazers general manager Polstra wanted to bring in a point guard, but the team ran out of chips, and then the genius came up with the idea and traded himself......

Trade himself to the Pacers in exchange for the Pacers' All-Star point guard Don Booth.

Part-time trading himself, to be exact, Polstra is a business genius who helps the Pacers improve their operations......

This thing is really successful, and there is no such case of an empty glove white wolf in the entire history of the NBA.

Now the bucks don't know if they were inspired by this incident, and they had the idea of looking for Richard to be a dog-headed military advisor.

If Richard really agrees to this, even if there are no outstanding candidates in this draft, the Bucks will definitely not suffer.

Because Richard can't smash his own sign, even if he picks a general among the shorties, he will definitely find the strongest ones among the rookies.

However, the point now is that Richard doesn't like the Bucks and has no idea of trading with the Bucks at all.
