Chapter 751: Famous Men Join the Coaching Staff

On July 17, Richard asked Sun Xiaoben to send a notice of dismissal to the management of the original Clippers.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Richard didn't want to use these old Sterling departments.

Besides, the ability of these management is actually very scum, if it weren't for the mischief of these sub-management, Stevens would not have been able to get along with the Clippers.

So, right now, the first thing Richard did when he took office was to start cleaning up the portal.

If the contract expires, all of them will not be renewed, and those that have not expired will definitely be dealt with by the score.

If the contract was signed with Sterling's company, then if Richard drove people, there would be no problem at all, and they didn't even need Richard to drive people out, they would have gotten out of their own way.

If the contract was with the Clippers, it would have been more troublesome, but Richard didn't care about the compensation.

These management contracts are not player contracts, there is no such thing as a buyout, and Richard can send them away by making a few months' salary compensation.

……

The entire Clippers team was almost cleaned up by Richard, from the team's president and general manager to the team's assistant coaches and scouts.

The only thing is to leave a grassroots staff, such as stadium cleaners, security guards, etc......

Richard naturally has his own reasons for doing this, and reducing the team's unnecessary spending is just one of the reasons.

The salaries of these purged managers are quite expensive, and if they all add up, they will be at least more than $20 million a year......

Among them, the three positions of president, general manager and head coach account for the majority, and Richard is ready to take all these three positions by himself, at least until he meets the right candidate, these three positions have to be assumed by himself.

In addition to these three positions, the remaining more important positions, except for the public relations manager let Sun Xiaoben fill the position, other positions can only be recruited slowly.

The scouting team is actually quite important to other teams, almost the eyes and ears of the team, and without the scouting team, the team would be like a headless fly in the draft.

And Richard obviously doesn't really need scouts, he's the best scout in the world, with a top hundred.

So scouts don't have to worry about it, and Richard is ready to cancel the scouting team directly with the Clippers......

In terms of the coaching staff, Richard is definitely still in the position of head coach of the team.

In fact, Richard didn't want to take a back seat and be a behind-the-scenes boss from now on, but because the supergiant suit is still one part away, he will definitely still be the head coach in the next few years, at least until Richard has a supergiant suit.

As for the assistant coaches, Richard's previous assistant coaches with the Buccaneers were Ranbier, Curry Sr., Thibodeau and Mark Jackson.

Ranbir may also be completely disappointed in the NBA, he has recently submitted a lot of resumes to find a job as an NBA head coach, but he has not received any answers.

In this case, Ranbir can only return to coaching in the WNBA.

As for Old Curry, his eldest son is currently a pirate, and Richard can't bear to let his father and son separate, so he didn't mention letting Old Curry help him.

Thibodeau and Mark Jackson followed Richard to the Clippers.

With only two assistant coaches on the coaching staff, that's certainly not enough......

Thibodeau is the coach of the defensive system, while Mark Jackson is more responsible for tweaking the team's new players and studying the team's tactical system with Richard.

At the moment, Richard's coaching staff is still lacking a shooting coach and an interior coach.

Inside coach Richard doesn't have to worry, because just after the NBA officially announced that Richard had acquired the Clippers, Richard received a call from Larry Bird.

Larry Bird's phone call was a warmth for Richard.

He wanted to match up and get his old brother McHale to join Richard's coaching staff.

McHale and Richard don't have much at odds, but because Richard and Green Kai have always had a good relationship, it is expected that he and McHale will get along quite well.

As an all-time celebrity, McHale still has quite a lot of aura, the strongest white power forward in history, the top 50 superstars in history, and a Hall of Fame player.

Some fans may think it is incredible after hearing the name of the strongest white power forward in history, but what about Nowitzki? What about Griffin?

Let's not mention whether Griffin is strong or not McHale, the main reason is that Griffin is actually black......

As for Nowitzki, the current veteran driver will definitely struggle to shake McHale's position as the strongest white power forward in history because he doesn't have a championship ring in hand.

Moreover, even if Nowitzki single-handedly leads the team to win the championship as usual, there may still be some fans who think that McHale is the strongest.

No matter who is stronger, it is definitely more than enough to serve as the team's interior coach with a celebrity of McHale's rank.

And McHale is not without coaching experience, he was previously in the management of the Timberwolves when Richard first entered the league.

The selection of Garnett in the draft was McHale's handiwork, and later Richard's hometown Philip Sanders was fired by the Timberwolves, and McHale also served as the Timberwolves' head coach for a while.

Of course, the results of leading the team are quite bad......

McHale began working as a TV commentator last season, and he has been more or less out of the team's management circles.

And right now, McHale may have the idea of making a comeback, wanting to use Richard's Clippers as a springboard to rush into the circle of management.

……

When Larry Bird called before, Richard did not give a positive answer, after all, Richard wondered if he should let Ranbier help him in those days.

Now that Ranbir has decided that he doesn't want to mix in the NBA, Richard naturally agreed to McHale.

If the time is delayed by ten years, Richard's coaching staff can have a celebrity like McHale, then it is estimated that Richard will be quite excited.

But at the moment, Richard doesn't feel anything, after all, he is not what he used to be, and after standing at a different height, Richard must have a different view on people or things.

What happened to the famous house? Who is not a famous person......

Richard now has nine championship trophies in hand, is he a celebrity after retiring? It must be a famous house within a famous house!

You must know that the current Richard, the number of championships in hand has equaled Cardinal Auerbach, both of which are nine championship trophies.

Richard was born in '68 and is not yet 43 years old, and he still has a lot of time to rewrite the record.

To say the least, Richard will be a head coach for another 17 years and retire at the age of 60, and there will definitely be no problem at all.

And in the past 17 years, Richard only needs to win even one championship trophy, and he can become the head coach who has led the team to the most championships in the entire NBA history.

Think about Richard's seventeen years, maybe he only won the championship once? If this kind of thing is said, I'm afraid that Richard's sworn enemies will not believe it.

By the time Richard retires, he will probably break all coaching records.

Most wins in history, Most wins in the playoffs, Longest winning streak, Longest streak in the opening game, Most championships, Most Finals, Most Best Coaches, Most Regular Season wins, Highest playoff win percentage......

Anyway, as long as it is a coach-related record, I'm afraid all of them will have Richard's name written at the top of the list.

In this way, I am afraid that in the entire history of basketball, there is no one who is more qualified to be called a famous man than Richard.

Therefore, at the moment, McHale, a famous man, has come to help him, and Richard does not have any special feelings......

Moreover, the previous top 50 superstar Dave Cowens has also played Richard for several years, and Richard has long been used to it.
