Under normal circumstances, the Spurs' actual first-round pick this year is the 30th pick, and Popovich used this first-round pick to select Sledgehammer Anderson.

Anderson is known as the essence of human peristalsis, but his strength is actually good, otherwise, he would not have gotten to get a big contract later......

As Zach LaVine's college teammate, Anderson also came out of the former basketball mecca UCLA, and belongs to the children of a prestigious school, and his basketball literacy is still quite good.

In addition, his maternal grandfather is Chinese, and he has one-eighth Chinese blood in his body, so in China, there are many sledgehammer fans.

And now that the Spurs want to get an inside lineman, they naturally give priority to Capela over Sledgehammer Anderson.

……

After Richard watched the Spurs get Capela, after a brief shock, his mood also calmed down.

If you get it, you can get it, there can be multiple opponents in the West, which is also a good thing for the Clippers, at least the suspense of the game will be greater, this should be a situation that Xiao Hua is happy to see.

……

After Richard got Jokic, he actually didn't have much interest in this draft, because he only had a second-round pick of 23 picks left in his hands now, and there was really nothing to pick.

In the end, Richard used this 23rd pick to select Sanassis Antetokounmpo, who is the older brother of Antetokounmpo.

It's not that Brother Alphabet is strong, but Richard only knows one Brother Alphabet in this position, and no one else knows him......

Anyway, it's all used to make up the numbers, so it's better to choose an acquaintance, and maybe you can play some role when the time comes.

At the end of this draft, Richard was really a little too low-key, taking two inconspicuous European players.

Jokic is indeed not very eye-catching, if you want to talk about fame, maybe Zhou Qi's fame on the international stage is stronger than Jokic.

But now that he has been selected by Richard, this player must have an unusual advantage, otherwise, how could he get into Richard's eyes.

……

In the offseason, Richard first sold the Malaysian monkeys......

The next season is the contract year of the big horse monkey, and Richard naturally can't sign the big horse monkey, and it is impossible to let the big horse monkey go for nothing at that time, after all, the value of the big horse monkey is still quite good.

In this case, trading Malaysian monkeys is the best option.

In the end, the Malaysian monkeys were sent to the Grizzlies by Richard in exchange for an unprotected first-round pick from the Grizzlies.

It's not a loss, of course, it's not a profit, according to the normal market price, the price of the big horse monkey can go up a little higher, but Richard can't bear to be too miserable for the grizzlies, and the Clippers don't need such draft picks now.

If there are too many draft picks piled up, Richard doesn't like to waste it, and it is estimated that he will choose some strong players.

And after these strong players joined the Clippers, how could Richard bear to let them waste ......

Maybe he will end up going down the same path as the pirates did before, beating the whole league, which is not a scenario that Richard would like to see.

After selling the horse monkey, Rondo's contract also expired this summer, and Richard approached Rondo for a good chat.

At the moment, Richard has offered Rondo two proposals, the first of which is that he will offer Rondo a contract of $15 million a year for only one year this season.

The reason why such a contract was given was because Leonard and Thompson were going to sign next year, and Richard naturally had to plan in advance.

And for this reason, if Rondo leaves, the Clippers' salary will not be up to the poor ghost line......

As for the second plan provided by Richard to Rondo, it is to let Rondo switch to other teams, with Richard to guarantee that Rondo will not make trouble, presumably there are still many teams willing to give Rondo a big contract.

In the end, Rondo still chose a big contract, and he didn't have a few years of peak life, so he naturally had to make as much money as possible, as for honors, Rondo had three championship rings in the Pirates before, and he just joined the Clippers and got another ......

With four championship rings in hand, what honor does Rondo want, it must be to choose a stable big contract.

In the end, the Trail Blazers offered a four-year, $52 million contract and signed Rondo.

Rondo's departure has reduced the salary space of the Clippers by a large margin, and what makes Richard even more painful is that Big Ben and Miller also announced their retirement.

These two also have contracts of more than 10 million dollars, plus Rondo's contract, almost 30 million ......

With such a large vacancy missing, the Clippers will have to spend a lot of money in the new season, otherwise they will not be able to touch the poor ghost line, and the league will be fined.

With so much salary space, countless teams are optimistic that the Clippers will bring in a top-salary player, after all, the Clippers want a ball market, a record and a record, and Richard, a historic bishop, is too tempting for those All-Star level stars.

For a while, countless media and experts were speculating about which star the Clippers would bring in in this offseason.

If you know the free agency market this offseason, it can be said to be hilarious.

Not to mention anything else, the contracts of the Heat Big Three have all expired, of which James's contract has to expire in 16 years, but when the contract was signed, there was a clause that James could terminate the contract early in 14 years, and I don't know why the old fox of Pat Riley would agree to this kind of overlord clause.

Right now, Heat fans still have a glimmer of hope for James, thinking that he may stay and lead the Heat back on their journey......

But Richard knew very well that James was decided, and there could be no change in that.

All the contracts of the Heat's Big Three expire, Curry and Durant of the Pirates also expire, and there are many first-line stars in the league whose contracts expire......

There are so many big fish in the free market, and the Clippers are really caught casually on the terms of the Clippers, and whoever they want is wanted, and it is impossible for the other party to say a word......

Before Richard could figure it out, these stars had already begun to kick in, and Durant first contacted Richard and expressed his desire to return to playing under Richard.

Then Curry also called, hoping to bring his dad to Los Angeles to play......

Even James contacted Richard and euphemistically said that he wanted to join the Clippers and win three, four, five, six, seven, or eight championships for the Clippers.

James's move didn't surprise Richard, because James now needs a championship so much.

In the blink of an eye, James has also been in the league for eleven years, but the result is that he has not received a single grain, and he has not even seen a single championship hair.

When Richard was in the West, he was suppressed by the Buccaneers, and then went to the Heat, first by the Buccaneers, and then by the Mavericks and Spurs......

Now that the Heat has completely made him unable to see the hope of winning the championship, it is natural to terminate the contract early and find a next home who is more sure of him winning the championship.

Returning to the Cavaliers is naturally a good choice, in the past two years, Irving has been selected as one of the top ten stars in the league by ESPN for two consecutive years, with such a good helper, and then strengthening an interior player through a trade, he is directly a Big Three lineup.

Compared with the Cavaliers, James still feels that it is more secure to join the Clippers.

The Cavaliers can only say that they have a chance to win the championship, and if they join the Clippers, with the current lineup of the Clippers, he has a 90% chance of winning the championship.
