Bishop of the Devil

Chapter 299

The next day Richard called for Rashid again.

Unlike Sasha and Curie, Rasheed's contract is quite troublesome

At present, Richard is only talking to Rashid, but it is impossible to finalize the contract through this chat.

Normally, Rasheed signed a six-year, $81 million contract with the trailblazers, which was not as abnormal as Garnett's, but it was scary enough.

At present, Richard can't give Rashid such a contract. It's not that Rashid is not strong enough, but that after giving Rashid such a contract, Oban and Kobe Bryant can only leave one.

Of course, Rashid is very strong. His stable mid-range shooting and strong defensive ability are the most solid weapons on the front line of the Blazers.

But Rashid is highly replaceable. In the next draft conference, Richard can at least choose two players to replace Rashid.

Al Harrington, 206 cm, Rashard Lewis, 208 cm, are all tall anti-aircraft players.

Even Dirk Nowitzki

But all three of them have a problem, that is, the defense is not good enough, especially in the face of outside players. The worst Rashard Lewis may not even be able to defend the bench in the outside

So it is quite necessary to renew Rasheed's contract.

Rasheed's three points are not good enough, but the win is in an all-around way. With him, Richard doesn't have to worry too much about the defensive side of the team.

And without Rashid, no matter who is on the court, Richard will have a headache for the defense.

"What do you think about the renewal, man?" Richard asked with a smile.

Rashid looked distressed. "Coach, I'm worried about it now!"

"I've heard about Jordan's retirement. Fools know that if they stay in the Blazers, they can win the championship!"

"But I'm excited about a contract like Kevin Garnett..."

"I know you are unlikely to offer me a contract of Kevin's rank. If you do, Ben, Jermaine and Kobe Bryant will have a very difficult situation next year!"

Rashid was considerate. He didn't hide his ideas from Richard, and he said his ideas directly.

Richard nodded and smiled bitterly.

"Rashid, I won't cheat you. I can't give Garnett that salary, but I can give you a way!"

"You can sign the contract for one year first, and I can guarantee that your contract amount will be quite rich in this year!"

"Then, when this year's contract is over, we will probably win the championship. Then we will discuss the renewal. How about it?"

Richard pondered for a long time, which was the best plan he could come up with.

One year contract left Rasheed, this year's contract, because this season's pioneer salary pressure is not big, can give Rasheed quite rich contract!

When the season is over, will Rasheed stay in the Blazers or go to other teams for big contracts.

Richard's plan is undoubtedly a win-win one.

After all, Rasheed is still young. He is not a veteran like old SA or old Curie. If he signs a one-year top salary, there will be no disadvantage for his future development. Moreover, this season he has a great chance to win the championship. If he gets another fmvp this year, we can imagine how popular he will be in the free market.

On the other hand, if Rasheed signs for only one year, they have no pressure this season. The real pressure is next season.

If Rashid is left, the starting strength of the team will not decline. As for the strength of the bench due to Lao Sa's departure, this is not a problem. After all, Richard will recruit a lot of new players in the next draft conference, which can completely make up for the strength loss of Lao SA's departure.

At this point of view, Rasheed will only sign for one year, which is undoubtedly quite cost-effective and beneficial for both sides.

At Richard's suggestion, Rasheed nodded with his eyes shining.

He naturally wants to stay in the trailblazer, but he is also very clear about the situation of the trailblazer. At present, Richard has provided him with a very rich contract for one year, so that he has the opportunity to stay in the trailblazer and compete for the championship, which is undoubtedly a quite satisfactory plan for him.

"Thank you, coach!"

Said Rashid with a simple smile.

Richard nodded and looked at Rashid's appearance. I think he approved his plan.

Then the next thing will be easy to do. Lao SA has determined to leave. The two players of old Curie and Rachid will go to negotiate with Olhi directly at that time. Their work on the renewal of players' contracts is almost over.

I don't think there will be any change in old Curie and Rashid. After all, they can't find any reason for change.

……

At the end of the renewal, Richard began to think about the draft next, which is the top priority of the off-season this year!Richard is confident that Jordan's retirement is just one of the small reasons why he will play all over the league in the coming season. The biggest reason is that the backup lineup of the trailblazers will be strong against the sky because of this draft conference.

Holding five draft rights, these five draft rights will make the trailblazer's backup lineup the most luxurious one in history.

However, Richard still needs to do some work to ensure that these five draft rights can be selected to his favorite players.

the drawing lots are already over now, and the two signs from the king are awesome.

The seventh in the first round and the seventh in the second round!

These two signings will undoubtedly give Richard two very good players

But the remaining three signings are a little ugly, because the Blazers had the best record in the League last season, so their first round and second round signings are the last to last

It's easy to say that in the first round, we can still select quite good players in terms of this year's situation.

But in the last round, it is very difficult to choose a good player.

And the second round from the 76ers in Philadelphia, the order is very low, the 23rd order in the second round

It's also difficult to choose a strong new player in the 23rd round.

So at the moment, Richard has to find a way to change his draft right before the draft conference starts. He doesn't need to change too high, just enough!

But after some contact, we didn't get the result Richard wanted. All teams are very close to this year's draft right, mainly Jordan's big mouth said that this year is the draft year, so the second round shows that were not very valuable in previous years have become precious.

Richard didn't contact the 76ers and other teams with good relations. They are probably reluctant to change the draft right. Zhang's mouth can only embarrass others

……

Although there is no way to improve the ranking of his draft rights, this does not mean that Richard will wait to die. He still has a way to give full play to the value of his draft rights.

The next morning, Richard came to Stevens to ask him to find the list of players who signed up for this year's draft. With his memory, Richard drew up a trial list and asked Stevens to contact the players on the list for trial training.
