Chapter 5 Planning
Regarding the purge of the team, although it was handed over to Chris Mullin, Richard was not without concern.
After all, now the Warriors have to clean up the team's main point guard Muki, Blaylock and main centers Mark Jackson and Adonal Foyle, if you count Chris Porter and Vaug Cummings, then you have to add a main bench, which should be considered half of the main lineup of the Warriors.
Half of the main lineup, even if it is the main lineup that is the last in the West, take it out and trade, Richard believes that he can also exchange a lot of good players and good chips, Richard will not miss this opportunity to use his future memories, Richard, who liked to play basketball manager games in his previous life, has been looking forward to such a day.
Murkey Blaylock is averaging 11 points and 7 assists per game this season, which is a statistic for a primary point guard, and after being put on the shelf by the Warriors, it immediately attracted the interest of many championship contenders, such as the Lakers, who have always wanted a better main point guard, rather than letting the immature Derrick Fisher force himself to start.
And the young center Mark Jackson, this season is just his rookie season, but he can get 10 points and 7 rebounds, many teams that hope to get a future inside gate have set their sights on Mark Jackson, Adonal Foyle is the same, and Mark Jackson shared the playing time Adonal Foyle averaged 5 points and 7 rebounds per game, and his scoring ability was slightly poor, but in 2001, a qualified starting center was difficult to find, 5 points and 7 rebounds. It was enough to make Adonalfoyle favored by many teams.
There's also backup small forward Chris Porter and backup point guard Vaugie Cummings, two bench players who average seven points per game for many teams looking to make the playoffs more than enough to call the Warriors.
Although it was a bit of a blind man's touch on an elephant, Richard still used the most stupid method, he asked Chris Mullin for a list of all the teams in the league, and then found familiar names one by one.
Murkey Blaylock attracted the attention of the Lakers and the Spurs, and the Spurs could only use the veteran Avery Johnson to support the position of the main point guard this season.
The Spurs' first offer was Jaren Jackson and Samaki Walker, who were directly traded for Murch Blaylock, but this offer has been rejected by the Warriors, just kidding! Although Murkey Blaylock is old, at least he is the Warriors' main point guard, and the Spurs want to trade the players at the end of the two benches for Murkey Brelock, which is obviously still thinking too much.
In contrast, the Lakers' offer is much more sincere, and although they still use players at the end of the bench to trade, they also have a future first-round pick, plus backup power forward Stanislav Medvedenko, which is slightly more attractive than the Spurs' offer.
Murchy Blaylock's characteristics and his age are destined to only attract the attention of the Lakers and Spurs, so Richard directly asked Chris Mullin to reply to the Lakers, Medvedenko was replaced by Devin George, the draft pick remains unchanged, and if the Lakers agree, the deal can be completed. For Devin George, Richard still knows something, this is a functional small forward, played in the Lakers for 7 years in his previous life, only learned to grab rebounds and shoot three-pointers, but the defense is also good, and he is a good championship role player.
The reply was sent, and Richard didn't care about the Lakers, he was more concerned about another trade.
The Rockets, who have a chance to impact the playoffs this season, have targeted the Warriors' two benches, and young center Mark Jackson, who hope to use the power of the two benches to strengthen their weak bench and impact the playoffs. As for Mark Jackson, when Hakeem Olajuwon is dying, they do need a better backup center who can start in place of Big Dream in key moments, and this feedback from Chris Mullin caught Richard's attention.
Glancing at the Rockets' roster, Richard has no interest in the Rockets' existing players, except for Steve Francis and Catino Mobley, this Rockets simply has no players that can make Richard look at, and the Rockets are obviously impossible to trade these two core players of the Rockets now.
Therefore, Richard directly set the goal on the future, in the 2002 offseason, the Rockets unexpectedly won the top pick, and then in the subsequent draft, Yao Ming was picked, the Chinese superstar brought a huge income to Alexander, and brought 1.3 billion fans to the Rockets, and now, what Richard wants to do is to change this history!
Although I don't know if there will be any changes to history after the Rockets' draft picks, and whether the Rockets' draft picks can still be drawn, Richard still has to give it a try, at least if he does so, the champion pick will not be the Rockets', at least, the Warriors will have a chance to get the champion pick, right?
So, Richard directly asked Chris Mullin to return an offer, and all three players were packed and sent directly to the Rockets, and Richard only needed the Rockets' 2002 first-round picks and any player on the Rockets' current roster, and the deal could be completed.
Of course, it is impossible for the Warriors to send the offer just like this, after all, such an offer is too abnormal, this kind of offer is simply too cheap for the Rockets, so in order to be normal, the Rockets' 2001 first-round pick was also added to the real offer. For the Rockets, the 2001 first-round pick is something they can't afford to give up, after all, this season, they are not sure to make the playoffs.
There is also Adonalfoyle, the main interior player of the Warriors, who has also attracted some attention, but compared with the previous players, the attention is much lower, which is related to Adonalfoyle's contract, Adonalfoyle has just renewed his contract with the Warriors this season, in order to keep this interior line that looks like a good future, the Warriors gave a 4-year 18 million high-salary contract.
In comparison, such a salary is a bit high, so some teams are wandering, but there are still a few teams that have sent emails to the Warriors asking for prices, and the Warriors still have a choice.
For Adonalfoyle's transaction, Richard didn't intervene much, and let Chris Mullin do it, Richard also wanted to see how far Chris Mullin could go, and whether Chris Mullin, who served as general manager for the first time, could do the kind of sophistication in his previous life.
Adonalfoyle's trade value is not low, and if Chris Mullin can really make the old-fashioned trade in his previous life, he may really be able to surprise Richard.
As for Richard, he is now focusing on the Rockets, winning the Rockets' 2002 first-round pick, which is what Richard is determined to get, in fact, the signature star he swore in front of Larry Foster is Yao Ming! Three years is almost exactly the time when Yao Ming grows up, one year as a rookie, and the second year as an all-star!
