Chapter Seventy-Three: Richard's Ambition

"Carlisle, let the Timberwolves know, we accepted their offer, and when the draft starts, I'll tell them about the rookies we're going to pick!"

Carlisle nodded, the Timberwolves' offer is extremely sincere, and there is no need for the Trail Blazers to continue to slaughter people, after all, Ryder is not unwanted......

really slaughtered the Timberwolves, and people simply gave up trading with the Trail Blazers, so Richard could only stare dryly.

……

This deal with the Timberwolves can be said to be a win-win!

The Timberwolves sent away the unstable factors in the team, stabilized the morale of the army, and got good potential newcomers and instant combat power from the Trail Blazers!

But Richard's side got Ryder, a quarterback who averages nearly 20 points per game, and a second-round draft pick, which can be used to pick up a big book!

The Timberwolves' annual salary for Ryder is exactly the same as the annual salary of the three players offered by the Trail Blazers, and it is clear that they were also deliberate before making this offer!

There are a lot of trading restrictions in the NBA, not that you can trade whoever you want, you must first meet the principle of equal salary, that is, trade matching!

Of course, this salary reciprocity is also divided into circumstances, in the case of a single player transaction, it is not necessary to meet the salary reciprocity, for example, a $10 million player trades a $1 million player, a separate transaction, this is feasible, and the side that takes out a $10 million player can get a $9 million transaction exception after the transaction!

Fans will definitely be familiar with the special case of trading, which is born in this situation!

If multiple players are packaged and traded, the principle of salary reciprocity must be met, and the player salaries of both parties must be the same, and the up and down must be within the framework of 25% of the player's salary plus or minus 100,000!

For example, Ryder's annual salary is $3 million, and the combined salary of the Trail Blazers players who can match his salary ranges from $2.15 million to $3.85 million!

The combined salaries of Colley, James Robinson and McGee totaled $3.08 million, apparently meeting the trade balance rules.

Draft picks, cash, etc., are all zero values in the trade balance rules, and they do not affect the trade balance......

If you carefully study this trade matching rule, you can actually find that this rule has loopholes, such as the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves deal, they did not package, but traded in batches, and traded McGee for Ryddle, so that the Timberwolves got a $2 million trade exception!

Then the Timberwolves took out draft picks and a base-salary player, and traded Cooley and James Robinson for Cooley, so that the Trail Blazers also got a trade exception of almost $2 million!

The role of trade exceptions is very large, such as the later Rockets and Magic's deal with Maddie, which is a loophole, all kinds of single exchanges, and both teams have got a lot of trade exceptions.

It's just that the two-million trade exception is a bit too few, and it generally doesn't play a big role, so Richard and the Timberwolves didn't exploit this loophole.

……

This trade is simple and simple, and it is complicated to say that it is complicated, and there is no need for ordinary fans to understand it......

Just like Takeshi Jincheng's surname is Jincheng, Yi Nengjing's surname is Yineng, and Yu Qian, who said cross talk, is the vice president of the Rock Association, and it is really useless to know these things.

……

That's it, Richard's first trade after entering the NBA is completed!

Or the first trade after the crossing, after all, Richard didn't have a chance to trade in the NCAA before......

Of course, although the two sides will finalize the contract next, there is no way to sign a formal written contract, because the trading market has not yet opened.

Even if the trade market opens the day before the draft begins, including the July freeze, the deal will have to wait until August......

Since the two parties did not sign a formal contract, but only verbally promised, it was not uncommon to regret it in August.

For example, Jordan Jr., who was in later generations, verbally promised Cuban to join the Mavericks, but when the freeze period ended in July, he regretted it......

It is true that it is not nonsense to say that the old teammates of the Clippers blocked the door and did not give Jordan Jr. a switch to the Mavericks, but in fact, the reason why Jordan Jr. continued to stay with the Clippers was, in the final analysis, that the Clippers paid a higher salary than the Mavericks......

Therefore, this person gave the nickname "Qiao Shouxin".

So even if this deal is finalized now, Richard will not take it lightly, and the heart of defense is indispensable, in case the Timberwolves come to a reversal, in that case, Richard will be very passive!

……

Over the next few days, Richard received a call from Philip Sr.

The phone call is considered to be the good news......

The list left by Richard when he left, and in the end, Bronny Jr. took a new assistant coach across the United States, and the harvest was okay!

Mike Bibby and Richard Hamilton are willing to join Purdue......

Originally, there was only a five-star lineup left in the boilermaker team, but it instantly regained blood and became a seven-star team!

Richard was naturally very happy about this, and praised Little Brownie fiercely......

Purdue University is Richard's logistical base, and he will always guard this one-acre and three-point land, and strive to send new stars to the league every year!

He wants to build a descendant team of his own in the NBA league!

There were times when Richard was shocked by his enormous ambitions, a descendant army of all-All-Star players?! This is simply sensational!

But Richard knew that he could definitely do it!

At the All-Star Game in a future season, there will definitely be a grand occasion where more than half of the All-Stars are Richard's disciples!

Thinking of that spectacular scene, Richard trembled with excitement and couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Go for it! Sooner or later, there will be a day! ”

……

The team's tryout, arranged by Stevens, proceeded in an orderly manner......

However, to Richard's annoyance, he asked Stevens to send trial invitations to newcomers who were predicting lottery picks, only to be rejected!

Without saying a word, Bryant turned down the Trail Blazers' tryout......

Peja also simply declined the trial invitation!

As for Nash, he refused quite tactfully, saying that he wanted to see the itinerary and come if he had time......

Although Richard is a little annoyed by this result, it is understandable, after all, the Trail Blazers only hold the seventeenth pick, and the few people he invited are all predicted lottery picks, and they will definitely focus on trying out those teams with high picks!

And O'Neill Jr., Richard's inner line, although he did not refuse, his itinerary has been arranged for a month later......

……

Originally, Richard thought of taking advantage of the opportunity of the trial to get to know these future stars in advance, but now it's good that he hasn't seen any of them......

As for Iverson and Big Ben, is it necessary for Richard to try them out? Naturally, there is no ......

……

Time flies, and the finals are over in the blink of an eye!

Joe led the Bulls, Nick Payton and Rainman Kemp to the Hypersonics to win the fourth championship of their careers!

When Richard won the NCAA championship for the second time, he had hesitation.

Part of the reason for the hesitation is actually the Qiao gang leader......

These two years were the era when Joe's gang leader ruled the league, and after Richard entered the alliance, it was impossible for him to lead a new army to defeat the bulls......

Unless those potential newcomers selected by Richard join Richard's team, they will directly gain the strength of their peak, in this way, Richard can get together a five-star peak lineup to kill the opportunity of the Joe Gang Bulls Dynasty!

It's just an opportunity, not 100% sure that you can take out the Bulls dynasty......

But this situation is completely daydreaming!

Because of Joe's help, Richard did not set his goals too high after entering the league, such as killing the Bulls dynasty in his first season to win the championship......

It may seem like a lot of courage, but it's actually no different from a fool.

……

In this era, the pressure on other teams from the Bulls dynasty is basically equivalent to the four-star Warriors of later generations!

This is a team that everyone thinks is difficult to beat!

When the four-star Warriors appeared in later generations, many fans said that the Warriors were too strong, which would make the NBA lose suspense and be detrimental to the development of the NBA!

And in the same way, in the era when the Bulls dynasty ruled the league, there were also many fans who were saying......

However, in fact, the NBA is still developing rapidly, and it has not been greatly affected, making more and more money every year......

……

In the blink of an eye, the time has entered June!

After more than half a month of hard work, the Bullets finally found a team that was willing to take out the lottery to trade!

New Jersey Nets!

New Jersey Nets with the eighth pick!

Although Bullets general manager Ernnie told Linham to find a team after the 10th pick to trade, it turned out to be a pain in the ass......

The chips the Bullets use to trade lottery picks are their current starting guard Pike!

Last season, he averaged about 18 points and 7 assists per game, which doesn't seem to be much worse than taking off......

But the player has played less than 50% in the last two seasons, and he only played 30 games last season, plus Chris Webber played more than a dozen season reimbursements, which made the Bullets very uncomfortable......

If Pike were to be reimbursed again this season, the Bullets would have no place to cry......

If they continue to fail to make the playoffs, Webb and Juwan Howard will definitely have the intention of leaving the team, and what is even more terrifying is that these two are likely to leave the team together!

Because these two played together in college, the Michigan Five Tigers......

If one of them leaves, the other will not have the intention of leaving together.

So they didn't dare to continue to take risks, so they could only focus on the speeding cars that were stronger and had much higher attendance!
