Bishop of the Devil

Total victory is indeed something that seems quite illusory.

Even Richard, if Rondo hadn't mentioned this matter, he wouldn't have thought about winning completely.

But people can't live without hopes and illusions. Richard is so young now, who can guarantee that he will never achieve a complete victory in this life.

…

After losing to the Lakers, the Buccaneers' road trip ended.

Kwame Brown only scored 4 points and 3 rebounds in this game, and the key was 3 turnovers...

It can be said to be extremely bad.

This was another opportunity that Bogut took, and he severely mocked Jordan.

Some players are in awe, especially for famous players like Jordan. Even if the famous players say something bad about themselves, they still want to leave enough face for the famous players.

But obviously Bogut is not such a awed player...

Jordan was so angry that he jumped to Richard's office and mentioned Kwame Brown to Richard again.

Naturally, Richard could only nod in agreement. This matter must be considered in the long run.

After giving Jordan a sure vote, he was able to appease Jordan and let him leave his office angrily.

…

"Beep beep!" Richard's cell phone rang.

Richard picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Stotts.

He couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that what he said to Stotts at the beginning had some effect.

At present, each team has played about 30 games, and you can definitely tell whether it is a mule or a horse.

There is no doubt that the Bucks are definitely a mule, because after playing these thirty games, they have only won seven games.

With a record of 7 wins and 23 losses, they are now firmly ranked second to last in the Eastern Conference.

Stotts has already sensed the impatience of the team management. He feels that he may only have less than a month left before being fired.

He even heard that the team management had begun to contact job applicants privately...

It's extremely normal when you think about it. The Bucks' lineup is quite impressive and they have everything the team wants.

The center is No. 1 pick Bogut, the league's top attacker Reed is on the outside, the point guard has a good passer, and there is Ruben Patterson, nicknamed "Kobe Terminator" on the forward and guard lines.

…

Such a lineup only has a record of 7 wins and 23 losses, which is really unjustifiable.

If Richard were the owner of the Bucks, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to bear it and fired Stotts.

You have to do your job in your position. As the head coach of the team, if you have such a garbage record, why should the team spend money on you.

…

This situation drove Stotts completely crazy, and Richard's original joke came true.

At the beginning, he criticized Richard for not saying nice things, but now it seems that Richard must have realized something at that time, or he knew that the Bucks would definitely not be able to achieve a decent record.

This was the real reason why Richard said those words to himself in the first place.

…

"Li, what should I do now..." Stotts was completely panicked. He was already a little confused and asked Richard what he should do.

Richard smiled, he didn't cheat Stotts in this matter, it was entirely his fault.

Since he didn't trick anyone, Richard didn't have any psychological burden.

"Terry, do you still remember what I told you back then?" Richard asked with a smile.

"Remember, I'm going to talk to the team executives now?"

"Yes, the sooner the better. I think they will weigh the pros and cons."

"You can tell them this, if your Bucks get the No. 1 pick, I can help you choose two good players. Of course, it is definitely unrealistic to select two players in one draft. You can choose them in any draft. Use my help, after all, you Bucks don't have that many suitable draft picks."

"If it is the second pick, it can only help you select one player, and you can also use it in any draft."

"If it's only the third pick, or the next pick, then there's nothing you can do. I can't help you, because based on your record, it's probably between the third and seventh picks."

Richard told Stotts the plan he had already thought of.

If the Bucks go crazy and help themselves get the No. 1 or No. 2 pick, then Richard wouldn't mind helping the Bucks and letting them get two good players.

And if it's just the lottery pick or the next pick, Richard doesn't need to help, because the difference in the later picks isn't that big for him.

The third pick is Al Horford, an all-around insider, similar to Milicic, but judging from the current situation, his organizational ability is not as good as Milicic. Although it is useful to win, it will cost a third overall pick. Richard De felt a little reluctant to give up.

The fourth pick is Oden's alumnus Mike Conley, who is also a good No. 1 player, but now that Richard already has Paul and Rondo on hand, it would be a waste to ask for Conley.

…

Now Richard is looking forward to getting a top-two pick. If he can't get it, he really doesn't know who to pick.

After listening to Richard's words, Stotts frowned. Only if he got the first two picks would Richard be willing to help the Bucks?

This risk is really too great, because even if the Bucks have the worst record in the league, their chance of getting the top two picks is only 46.5%, which is less than 50%!

The chance of getting the No. 1 pick is 25%, and the chance of getting the No. 2 pick is 21.5%.

But even so, Stotts feels that the Bucks management will definitely agree to Richard and make a mess...

Because the Bucks actually have no choice. With their current record, they can't even think about failing. If they are lucky enough to get the top two picks, they can still make a profit.

If you don't agree to Richard, you won't have any money, and the team's record will still be poor.

If you agree, you may earn one or even two good players.

"Li, what level of player are you talking about as a good player?" Stotts asked curiously.

This was what he wanted to know most.

It's just good, but the difference is huge...

Ordinary starting players can also be called good, and All-Star level players can also be called good.

Even compared to other leagues, any fringe player the NBA can pull out can be considered good.

"All-star level, must be all-star level!" Richard answered this question without hesitation.

"Of course, it depends on the draft picks you have on hand. If you only have some low-ranking garbage picks on hand, whether you can get to the All-Star level depends on your luck."

…

"Okay, Lee, I'll go see General Manager Harris this afternoon." Stotts felt confident.

If they can really get the No. 1 pick, Richard can help the Bucks select two All-Star players. For the Bucks, the temptation is too great.

He feels that there is a nine out of ten chances that he can keep his position as head coach.

…

Stotts sits in front of Bucks general manager Larry Harris in his office.

When it comes to the most economical general manager in the NBA, Larry Harris definitely ranks first.

Even Morey, who became the general manager of the Rockets in 2007, is far inferior to Harris in this aspect.

Harris is really picky, and he can't wait to break the flowers for a penny.

Maybe this is why the Bucks were so rubbish from 2003 to 2008, because in the past five years, Harris has been in charge of the general manager's position.

"What did you say? Terry, is this true?" Harris' eyes widened after hearing Stotts' account.

Stotts nodded, "It's true, Larry. Richard personally promised something. Although he is a lunatic, it seems that he has never broken his promise."

Harris breathed a long sigh of relief. His pressure was actually no less than that of Stotts.

The team's record is such a mess, and he, the general manager, is also to blame. If Stotts is fired, he will probably be next.

Team owners naturally like general managers who save money, but the prerequisite for you to save money is to show results...

If you don't consider the performance, no one will save money.

Now comes the opportunity to relieve his pressure. If they can really get the No. 1 pick, the Bucks will be prosperous.

Richard is a lunatic. This is confirmed by Harris. When his predecessor, Old Dunleavy, took over the job with him, the first thing he said was to remind him not to deal with Richard...

But even though he is a lunatic, Richard has never broken his promise so far, which makes Harris extremely relieved.

"Promise him, promise Richard."

"We're going to mess around like crazy and try to get the No. 1 pick."

"I will have a meeting in the afternoon and talk about this with other executives. I think they will definitely have the same idea as me."

Harris said with some excitement.

"Terry, old man, you did a good job this time."

"I hope God can bless our Bucks and let us get the No. 1 pick. God, this is the first time I am so eager to get the No. 1 pick!"

Stotts looked at the extremely excited Harris and felt relieved. It seemed that his head coaching job was finally saved.
