Thinking about the strength of Yao Ming and Clark, it is obviously difficult for Pau Gasol to play any advantage.

In this case, it would be a blessing that he was not beaten by Yao Ke and the others.

As for Pau Gasol's partner, former Magic second or third leader Mike Miller, the strength is naturally quite strong, and he is also a member of West Lafayette.

But he basically belongs to the wrong era, if he is left in the era of small ball in the later generations, although he will definitely not reach the status of Durant, but it is no exaggeration to say that it is not too much of a problem to get into a few All-Stars with his shooting skills.

It's not that the players of later generations are not as strong as the present, the times are developing, things are also developing, and NBA players are no exception.

On the whole, the average level of future players must have gradually improved, not to mention anything else, at least in terms of physical fitness.

A style of play like Mike Miller, in the current era when the inside line is king, is a quasi-All-Star level, but if it comes to the era of small ball in the future, his disadvantages will be narrowed, and his advantages will be expanded, relying on his height, good athleticism and strong shooting skills, and he may even become a big man in the league.

It's a pity that although the center is withering at the moment, it is still in the era when the inside line is king, and the teams that have won the championship in recent years are all in the team with super centers.

……

In this game against the Grizzlies, the Pistons won easily in the end, winning 19 points, Yao Ming returned tonight, steadily contributing 31 points and 14 rebounds, continuing the strong performance of his rookie season.

Seeing the grizzly bear, Richard couldn't help but think of Rahim.

Raheem is considered a veteran of West Lafayette's players, and he entered the NBA league in the same class as Iverson and Big Ben.

Raheem, who started as a Grizzlies, looks like he has a pretty happy future, but Richard knows that after Raheem's season, his nightmare will come completely.

This season can be said to be the last peak season of Raheem's career, if not half of it.

Because Raheem was injured this season, the season was reimbursed, and then his form declined significantly, and when his contract expires next season, he will no longer be able to get the maximum salary, and can only get a four-year contract with an annual salary of five or six million yuan in the Kings, and when this contract ends, he will say goodbye to the NBA completely.

Thinking of this, Richard felt like a dream, his West Lafayette gang, is already so soon to have a player enter the late career.

If it were possible, Richard would naturally help Rahim, and if nothing else, it would be possible to extend Rahim's career as much as possible.

……

After playing the Grizzlies, the Pistons continued to sit at home to meet the Orlando Magic.

The Magic made significant personnel changes in the offseason at the suggestion of Doug Reaves, such as selling the team's No. 2 offensive point Mike Miller and bringing in Juwan Howard, one of the Michigan Five Tigers.

But this successive lineup arrangement has created a rather embarrassing situation.

The Magic have played four games since the beginning of the game, and they have not won a single game, and they have lost all of them.

If it's just about losing, then Magic fans may still be a little patient, the key is that every game is being hung and beaten, how can fans stand it, and they all call on the team management to fire Doug Reaves immediately.

Under normal circumstances, Dougreaves was fired by the Magic this season, and he led the team to an embarrassing record of 1 win and 10 losses at the beginning, directly ending his Magic coaching career.

Now it is estimated that the situation is not much better, and Doughreaves' dismissal is almost a foregone conclusion.

This two stunned, I don't know if it will be good luck to take over Green Kai next, waiting for the convergence of the Big Three of Green Kai.

Throughout Doughgreaves' years of coaching magic, he does have some coaching ability, but his brain is not the same as others, and he always does something unpredictable.

After tonight's game, Maddie walked straight back to the locker room with an ugly expression and didn't say hello to Richard.

It's not that he has any opinion of Richard, but he feels that the magic tonight is too embarrassing, and he is ashamed to see people.

In the third quarter of the game, the Magic was already defeated, and they couldn't find any way to resist the Pistons, and finally in the fourth quarter of the game, when Richard replaced the bench, the Magic still lost a terrifying 37-point difference.

It was completely beaten by the piston......

In this case, Maddie is still in the mood to greet Richard.

Richard saw the situation of the Magic and estimated that the Magic would definitely follow the previous Spurs.

The Spurs were also ambitious at the beginning, but because of the player's injury, the start record was extremely bad, and the result was directly put on a bad swing and got Duncan.

At the moment, the situation of the Magic is similar, they definitely didn't have a bad plan at the beginning, but with the record being so miserable, they had no choice but to fire Dough Greaves and then go on the road of rotten.

But I didn't expect that this mess would really give them a good thing.

One got the champion sign of Warcraft Howard.

The 04 draft, although it is also full of talents, but the most valuable player is undoubtedly the champion Howard.

Okafor, Iguodala, Ariza, Tony Allen, Deng Yingqiao, Ben Gordon and others in the same class still have some gaps in strength compared with Warcraft.

If it weren't for Douggreaves' unbearable 1-10 record at the beginning, he probably wouldn't have been fired, and the Magic might not have won the No. 1 pick.

The pick could be picked by the Los Angeles Clippers, who are the second overall pick......

Fans may wonder, wasn't the Los Angeles Clippers the fourth overall pick in '04? How did you get to the second pick?

The reason is simple, the '04 second-overall pick was taken out by the Clippers and traded with the Bobcats.

To be exact, the current pirate team.

As a benefit to the new army, the Buccaneers received a No. 4 pick directly from the Alliance.

However, there are gains and losses, and according to the practice of the new team, the salary space of the new team is only two-thirds of that of other teams, and it rises to three-quarters in the second year, and can enjoy the same salary space as other teams in the third year.

In addition, the league's revenue share will also remove the pirate team in the first two years, and will not give them any share, of course, their own income does not have to be handed over to the alliance, which is equivalent to being completely self-financed.

Therefore, it is extremely normal to give a No. 4 lottery for nothing.

If you can't really let the new army fend for itself, then there is no point in introducing this new army.

……

Richard certainly hasn't figured out who this precious No. 4 pick will be used for right now.

Because the draft has not yet begun, Richard is looking to see what kind of players he can get through the draft and then make good use of this precious draft pick.

If a reliable interior player can be obtained in the expansion draft, then Richard does not need to make a trade with the Clippers, and can directly use the No. 4 pick to select Iguodala, who is more cost-effective.

If there is no reliable interior in the expansion draft, then Richard will definitely have to trade with the Clippers to get their pick, just like the Bobcats in normal history to choose Okafor.

Because there is no alternative but Okafor.

In this rookie, there are two strong insiders, one is Howard and the other is Okafor, and when there is no way to choose Howard, he can only retreat to Okafor.

Okafor is not bad, although it is not as strong as Warcraft, if you cultivate it well, it is estimated that it will not be worse than Xiao O.

In fact, in fact, Okafor is the favorite for the champion at the moment, even more popular than Howard, mainly because he has a back injury a few days later, which makes Howard the champion, otherwise, this year's champion is really not necessarily Howard.

PS: Accompany my daughter-in-law back to my mother's house in Wuhan, the update is not stable, and when I go home on the eighth day of the new year, I must break out well, complete the piston journey as soon as possible, and start a new army of pirates.
