Chapter XXXVIII

Richard, who spent the night at the Beverly Hills Hotel with Natalie Portman, still attended the boss's meeting the next day.

Originally, Richard was still a little interested in this meeting, but after attending, he realized that it was just a meeting of chatting and farting between the bosses, and there was nothing substantive at all.

Richard regretted attending the meeting, and he walked out of the conference room, not wanting to listen to the bosses brag and fart anymore. However, after going out, Richard did gain a little, and he saw the general managers of several teams at the door, including Michael Jordan, who is now the general manager of the Wizards.

Michael Jordan now owns some shares in the Wizards and is considered a small boss of the Wizards, so he will appear at the boss party.

In front of the basketball god, Richard naturally stepped forward to say hello, but just to say hello, Michael Jordan actually proposed a trade......

"Mr. Cohan, your team's Larry Hughes should be put on the trading market, right?" Michael Jordan suddenly mentioned Larry Hughes in the middle of the chat, and Richard was stunned for a moment, then understood.

At present, the Wizards' starting scoring guard is Richard Hamilton, but Michael Jordan has always looked down on this scoring guard who can only catch and shoot after running without the ball, plus Michael Jordan has a bit of a comeback, maybe trading Richard Hamilton has also mentioned the Wizards' daily agenda.

And once Michael Jordan chooses to come back, it is obvious that the defensive Larry Hughes will be more suitable to partner Michael Jordan, in the previous life, Michael Jordan chose to complete a trade with the Pistons to get small forward Jerry Starkerhouse, in this life Michael Jordan found the Warriors, how are you going to make this deal?

Richard nodded questioningly, confirming the news that the Warriors were going to trade Larry Hughes.

Michael Jordan then said, "We want to get a defensive shooting guard, so we want to trade for Larry Hughes, and the chip is Richard Hamilton. But before that, the Pistons reached out to us to get Richard Hamilton, and they were willing to trade Jerry Starkerhouse, so I wanted to ask you guys, are you accepting this three-way deal? You send Larry Hughes and get Jerry Stark House. ”

Really! Richard has always felt that even if he travels into this world, he may have flapped his little wings like a butterfly and caused the butterfly effect, but the course of history will not change much, unless Richard personally changes some history.

Now, Pistons management has taken a fancy to Richard Hamilton, which is exactly the same as Richard's previous life, and perhaps this is an inevitability.

For the Warriors, Larry Hughes is already sure to be sent, and between Jerry Starkhouse and Richard Hamilton, Richard is more inclined to Jerry Starkhouse, on the one hand, Richard Hamilton's style does not match the Warriors' tactical style, Richard hopes that the team's players in five positions can pass the ball, and Richard Hamilton, who is good at running without the ball, is better at not being able to play without the ball, which is obviously not suitable for this Warriors. On the other hand, Richard Hamilton's style overlaps somewhat with Michael Reed, and the Warriors obviously don't need so many scoring guards with similar styles, especially since both of them already have the quality to start.

And as for why Michael Jordan chose Jerry Stackhouse instead of Larry Hughes, Richard is not surprised, because the current Jerry Stackhouse is not the outside defense expert that he later had, and the current Jerry Stackhouse is just a scorer, even Richard, after getting Jerry Stackhouse, he has to let the coaches in the team transform Stackhouse.

Therefore, in the face of Michael Jordan's direct trade proposal, Richard agreed, and was ready to talk about it in detail later: "In principle, we can accept this deal, but we will have to talk about the specifics in detail." ”

Directly using Larry Hughes wants to exchange for Jerry Starkhouse, obviously this is impossible, after all, the current Larry Hughes is still only the second in the bad team, and Jerry Stackhouse and Richard Hamilton are the bosses of the bad team, and there is still a gap between the few people.

Soon, the boss party was over, and Richard had tentatively negotiated a deal for Larry Hughes with Michael Jordan and the Pistons, though the details would not be discussed further until he returned to San Francisco.

At the same time, Richard also initiated the second trade he had been preparing for a long time, Richard just got off the plane and called Kevin McHale, the general manager of the Timberwolves, and after a short discussion, Richard negotiated the deal with the Timberwolves, which was about Chauncey Billups.

Chauncey Billups in the 2001 season was not the civilian MVP that came later, but still the so-called parallel trade, so the Timberwolves didn't pay much attention to Chauncey Billups, and when Richard proposed a trade, Kevin McHale agreed to the deal, especially when Richard also sent Eric Dampier.

For Eric Dampier, Richard originally didn't want to send away this tall man who claimed to be the second center in the West, but considering that Eric Dampier was a player in a small circle with Larry Hughes, Richard had the idea of trading him, sending away Eric Dampier in exchange for Chauncey Billups, which is a deal that will not lose no matter how you look at it.

For sending away Eric Dampele, Richard has long had a replacement for the center position, and this candidate is also a Timberwolves player, Rasonestrovic, a center from Slovenia.

For Rasonestrovic, Richard's biggest impression is that this guy later won the championship with the Spurs, and as the main center. And last season, Richard took a closer look at the big white man in the game against the Timberwolves, and Rasonestrovich gave Richard the feeling that this is a defensive center who works very the defensive end, and at the same time has a beautiful mid-range shot, as well as the soft touch that European players have.

As a European player, Rasonestrovich's passing is not bad, so on the whole, this Slovenian big man seems to be more suitable for the Warriors, and this big man is just a substitute in the Timberwolves.

So, in the end, Richard reached a final deal with the Timberwolves, the Warriors sent Eric Dampele to get Chaunsibilups and Lasonestrovic and Morris Evans from the Timberwolves, Morris Evans was an addition in this deal, but Richard still asked the Timberwolves to add this scoring guard, because Richard knew that this Morris Evans is also a shooter-type player, which can complement the Warriors' bench.

The deal with the Timberwolves was quickly negotiated, and the two teams jointly reported to the league to complete the deal.

And the three-way deal between the Warriors, the Wizards and the Pistons is also in full swing, and there is generally no problem, and it will not be too far from the final deal.
