In any case, Richard did his best, and even if McClendon's incident did happen in the future, Richard could comfort himself......

Seeing that McClendon had chosen the first option, Richard continued to say with a wry smile.

"Man, since you chose this plan, then we will be considered a family in the future, if the alliance holds a voting meeting, I hope we can unite the front."

McClendon agreed without saying a word, a small boss like him actually doesn't have a strong presence in the league, anyway, compared to predators like Richard or Paul Allen, it must be completely incomparable.

The first is that he is not the only boss of the Thunder, in fact, he is worth a little pitiful.

Although Richard's meaning is a little vague now, McClendon also understood Richard's meaning for the first time.

That is, if Richard were to go against Stern in the future, you McClendon would have to be on your side.

In fact, there is no need for Richard to say this, and McClendon will definitely not become Richard's opponent.

Because he really doesn't have a good impression of Stern, he was fined a lot of money by Stern a few days ago, and now Richard wants to help the Thunder rebuild, and he must help Richard with reason, so that Richard can do his best in the Thunder's reconstruction.

"Don't worry, Lee, I don't have much affection for that old fellow Stern, if anything happens in the future, you greet me in advance, and I will definitely be on your side." McClendon said with a laugh.

……

The two finalized the trade plan on the phone, and the Pirates sent the No. 5 pick in the first round from the Grizzlies, and the Thunder in exchange for the Thunder's first-round pick for the coming year plus a '09 first-round pick from the Lakers in the Thunder's inventory.

The Lakers' first-round pick, which is certainly not very valuable, is estimated to be the bottom position in the first round.

In addition to the apparent trade, Richard also agreed to help the Thunder rebuild so that they can make the playoffs as soon as possible after moving to their home court.

And the Thunder also promised Richard that they would play a bad role next season, guarantee the top three positions in the record list, and strive to help Richard get a high draft pick.

These private transactions must not be made public, that is, the owners of the two teams know about it.

It's not accurate to even say that the boss knows, and Jordan and the other owners of the Thunder don't know about it right now......

Richard had a pretty good deal in this deal, getting two high-pick picks in '09 and gaining McClendon's friendship.

McClendon's friendship was actually a factor in Richard's deal.

This year's No. 5 pick, Richard is actually useless to keep, and the only thing he can do is probably to use this draft pick to select Lefou.

But the Pirates now have a lot of inside lines, and there is a little Jordan to join the team next......

It doesn't make any sense to take another Lefou.

Richard simply traded it for a '09 draft pick.

……

Early the next morning, Woshen showed another magical hand, and he broke the trade plan between the Pirates and the Thunder in a column for Yahoo Sports.

This news once again shocked the entire NBA circle, in addition to shocking the divine source of Woshen, but also shocking Richard's operation.

Because in the eyes of all parties, Richard's operation is really a bit nonsensical.

Take a No. 5 pick and trade for a first-round pick from the Lakers, plus an uncertain Thunder first-round pick......

This year, the Thunder picked up the fourth and fifth picks in a row, and they may be able to rise next season, and when the time comes, Richard will be beaten and lose all their money.

Obviously, in the eyes of all parties, Richard's operation was quite unwise and a little out of mind.

Many reporters tried to interview Richard, trying to knock on Richard's real thoughts on the deal, but Richard rejected all of them.

The draft is about to begin, and Richard has to focus on the draft now.

On June 17, the annual draft meeting was held.

This time, Jordan also came to join in the excitement and followed Richard to New York.

Although Jordan is not ready to get involved in the draft, he also wants to be in the limelight, after all, Richard in the draft has always been the most glamorous one.

As soon as he entered the venue, Richard attracted the attention of countless people in the stadium, and representatives of several teams came forward to greet Richard.

Generally speaking, there are very few owners in the draft, but Richard is a special case, and he has never missed a draft meeting with the Buccaneers.

Stern muttered on the court again, and then the draft officially began.

The Chicago Bulls have the No. 1 pick, and they're not quite the same as the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies have a point guard on the team, but the point guard is not good enough, and they want to be able to get Paul and make the team's point guard position a strong point for the team.

The Bulls, on the other hand, don't have any decent point guards, and they want Paul, just to get it in one step......

Now Richard has not made a trade with the Bulls, and the Bulls have selected Rose directly with the first pick in the absence of a point guard.

Among the rookies in this class, there is no one who is a solid champion candidate, and if you want to say that the top picks are the favorites, they may have more advantages than Sley and Mayo.

Seeing Rose being drafted by the Bulls as the No. 1 pick, Richard sighed regretfully.

If it weren't for the sudden assignment of Kwame Brown before, Richard might really consider going to the Bulls to make a deal, and then use this No. 1 pick to select Rose and let Rose play for him.

As a result, Richard's future starting lineup will likely be Rose, Roy, Granger, Milicic and Oden!

Attentive fans should be able to spot that all five have common characteristics.

That is, the careers of these five people are all regretful and sighing, mentioning one of the players, most fans will sigh deeply and say: "Hey, it's a pity, if it ......"

If Rose is not injured and can fully bloom, no one knows what height this youngest MVP in history can reach under normal circumstances.

Flowers naturally refer to the Windy City Rose Rose.

If Roy hadn't been injured, judging from the growth trajectory of his career, would he, the yellow mamba, surpass the black mamba and become the second percentile in history?

If......

All five players have deep regrets.

But now it's clear that Richard can't form this unfortunate combination, and Rose was drafted by the Bulls.

……

Next, when it came to the selection of the Heat team, the Heat was actually quite happy to see the Bulls choose Rose.

Rose is not attractive to the Heat, and even if they have the No. 1 pick on hand, they will definitely not choose Rose.

Rose's style of play is too similar to Wade's, which is not a good thing......

The two offensive cores of the team will be sudden and crazy under the basket when the time comes, and the opponent is easy to target, and it will be over if you directly send heavy troops to defend the basket.

And Beasley's attraction to the Heat is incomparably huge, strong physical talent, can shoot well, can be three or four, and the key is that he has a very important label on him.

That's Richard's little cousin......

Beasley is Richard's cousin, and almost the whole league knows about it, not that Beasley poked it out himself, but that Durant talked about the relationship between Beasley and Richard when answering reporters' questions before.

Richard's cousin, Pat Riley, felt that Richard didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, his cousin was in his own hands, and when the time came to trade with Richard, couldn't he make some concessions?

However, the abacus of the god operator this time is estimated to be wrong.

There's no way Richard can't give up his team's interests because of Beasley, and he doesn't like Pat Riley very much.

For those who don't like it, Richard will definitely not let them take advantage.

As for the reason why he doesn't like Pat Riley, in addition to Riley always wanting to treat Richard as a dumbfounder, Richard also has some disdain for Riley's "family history".

God Operator is undoubtedly a fairly successful head coach in this league, but the more old fans are, the more they dislike Pat Riley, because Pat Riley's head coach position was not right in the first place.

He hugged the Magic's thigh and then got into the position of head coach of the Lakers.

That's right, Pat Riley's first time as head coach was with the Lakers.

In the 81-82 season, the Lakers' meritorious coach Westheide, who led the team to win two championships, was prepared to reduce the team's offensive tempo and play more half-court positional battles because of the Lakers' poor record last season......

This plan annoyed Magic Johnson, because playing a half-court positional battle, Magic felt that it would affect his tactical position within the team, after all, in the tactical system of half-court positional battle, the center player has a higher tactical position.

The Magic directly pressed the old Buss, shouting that either the team would fire Hyde and correct Pat Riley, or he would leave the Lakers after the season......

At this point in time, Pat Riley was just a small assistant coach under Hyde and had never been a head coach before.

Old Buss spoiled the Magic, which was a well-known thing, and as a result, without saying a word, he agreed to the Magic's request, fired Hyde, the meritorious coach who worked hard for the Lakers, and straightened Pat Riley......

Did Riley provoke the magician to force the palace old Bass? And then killed his immediate boss, Hyde?

No one knows about this, but after playing away games in the future, Magic and Riley were booed for several seasons because of Hyde!

Richard admits that Riley has a strong coaching ability, but he always feels that this person is too cunning, and he may be waiting for you somewhere, and he is definitely the biggest old yin X in the coaching group.

For this kind of old yin X, Richard has always been respectful, as long as he doesn't mess with himself, he treats the other party as air.

Therefore, the idea that the divine operator wants to reap the benefits from Richard is doomed to fail.
