Force the Pelicans to trade the Thick Brow! Designate the Lakers How Rich Paul is the NBA behind the scenes of the big boss

Without further ado, let's continue with the previous article -

Regarding why Ricky Paul wanted to use the Davis to the Lakers, the reason is very simple. In the summer of 2018, James decided to 3.0 and came from the countryside Cleveland to the luxury city of Los Angeles. At that time, the Lakers were in the pain of reconstruction. In addition to the veterans who were about to expire in the team, they were recruits who had not played for a few years. It was obvious that James had no time to wait for their growth. He wanted an excellent second-in-command to assist him.

The conditions for choosing this second-in-command are actually very strict. First of all, we cannot be an outside star who can pass the ball with James, and secondly, we must be qualified. Finally, we must be willing to be the second-in-command in terms of mentality and cannot compete for power with James. Ritchie Paul is all over the league, so Davis is the most suitable.

Before joining the Lakers, Davis played for seven years with the Pelicans. He averaged 28+12+2 blocks per game at his peak, made six All-Stars, won three blocks, and three block kings. He has been in the best team and the best defensive team. He can play in and out, throw three points and can enter the inside, has a comprehensive style of play and has a wide range of defense coverage. He has entered the top ten regular season MVP votes for three consecutive years. It is no exaggeration to say that Davis at that time was not much weaker than the peak Garnett. He is more than qualified in terms of ability. He is simply the league's No. 1 power forward!

However, like Durant, Dark Eyebrow has the ability to be a boss, but she has the heart to be a second boss.

In the past seven years of the Pelicans, Pelicans general manager David Griffin can only be said to have mediocre ability in signing. The Pelicans have only entered the playoffs twice, one in the first round, one after another, and the team has no hope of winning the championship. Therefore, it is not surprising that Davis, who is eager for a championship ring, wants to leave New Orleans. However, Davis and Ritchie Paul's operations are more tough and radical. In order to force the Pelicans to submit, under Paul's instruction, Davis directly expressed his willingness to apply for a deal in the face of the media, which resulted in a fine of $50,000.

In fact, such things are common in the NBA. Small cities cannot retain big stars, which is basically the NBA's consensus. Both sides are getting together and leaving some face to each other. There is something to say when they meet again in the future. Danny Brows wants to go to a strong team, while the Pelicans want some reconstruction chips of the same price, and both sides get what they need.

But as soon as Davis said that, his trading value immediately shrank. From the beginning of this deal, the Pelicans lost a lot. Pelicans general manager David Griffin did not know whether it was out of revenge or to protect Davis' health, but he once prevented Davis' DNP from appearing. The malicious resting allowed the Pelicans to receive a fine of $100,000, and both sides were injured.

As soon as the news that Davis took the initiative to ask for a transaction came out, it immediately triggered the NBA, which caused crazy snatch from all teams in the league. The Bucks and the Trail Blazers said that except for Letters and Lillard, everyone in the team chose casually, while weak teams like the Knicks, Cavaliers, Heat, and Grizzlies, who don’t even have the core of the company are like opening a two-yuan store. All players in the team choose casually and choose casually. If you can’t buy two yuan, you can’t buy two yuan and be fooled.

A simple mention of the more reliable chips at that time, such as the Bulls took out Raven + Markcanen + Otto Porter + Jabarri Parker, the Nuggets took out Jamal Murray + Millsap + Gary Harris + Porter Jr. + 2 first-round picks, the Suns gave Devin Booker + TJ Warren + Trevo Ariza + 2 first-round picks, and the Rockets also mixed up with Capela + round face + several characters + draft picks.

At that time, what the Pelicans wanted most was the young core and the cornerstone of the team. These three teams with reliable quotes were the biggest star they could provide was Devin Booker of the Suns, but the Pelicans were not interested in Booker because Booker's reputation was not good at that time, and they were only considered a data brush for a weak team, which was useless.

At this critical moment, Celtics general manager Danny Angie took action. This man has always been known for being ruthless and bold in gambling in the trading market. He took out Irving + Hayward + Rozier + Smart + draft picks. This chip impressed David Griffin. If the transaction is formed, the core framework of the Celtics is Thick Eyebrow Tatum Horford Jaylen Brown, which will be very competitive in the East.

But it is obvious that Ritchie Paul doesn't want Thomas to go to the Celtics. He said that Thomas only wants to go to Los Angeles. If other teams dare to block it, they can only get Thomas to use it for one and a half years. Then, at the press conference, Thomas solemnly expressed his strong willingness to join the Lakers. These words made Thomas receive a fine of $50,000 - for the future, Ritchie Paul and Thomas no longer care about the fine.

Danime's statement made Anji retreat a little, and he was also panicked. At that time, Danime's contract was still 48 million yuan left for two years, and he was already half of the game this season. If Daime can't win the championship in a season, Danime patted her butt and left, he would be useless and would be laughed at by someone. Therefore, Anji removed Rozier and Smart again, and the draft pick hesitated and did not want to give it, which made David Griffin very annoyed.

The question is, what is the Lakers' offer for Davis?

Hmm...quite stingy.

It can be said that James's champion has a great relationship with Ritchie Paul. If it weren't for Ritchie Paul making trouble in the middle, maybe Thick Brows would have gone to the Celtics, and James wouldn't have had the fourth championship ring.

After the transfer of the Davis, Ricci Paul gradually became low-key, and rarely had the previous extreme remarks and exaggerated display of wealth. In recent years, except for his relationship with Adele, he rarely saw Ricci Paul in public places. What the ancestors said was to make a fortune in silence. After being low-key, Ricci Paul ushered in a peak in his career, and he could gather several superstars under his command almost every year. On September 9, 2018, Ricci Paul's company signed Dalius Garland, Nurkic and Drummond Green. In 2019, he signed Maxi, Trae Young, Anthony Edwards, Lonzo Ball, Lamelo Ball, 2020, Zach Lavender, 2021 VanVleet, and Ingram in 2023.

Ricci Paul now has 47 players under his command, with a total salary of over $700 million. He has become the third largest agency in the NBA after Jeff Schwartz and Mark Bartelstein. Although Rich Paul has become very low-key now, it is undeniable that Rich Paul now has the ability to call the wind and rain in the NBA, and it is no problem to change the league structure.

For example, in February 2019, Warriors star Zhu Meng Zhu Qing Green joined Ricci Paul's leadership. This time node can be said to be just right, because the dream Zhu Qing contract was 82 million in 2015, which was signed with the Warriors in 2015, and there was no player or team option. In other words, his contract will expire in the summer of 2020. It is obvious that the purpose of Zhu Qing is to let Ricci Paul seek the next big contract for him.

Ricci Paul gave him a detailed analysis and found that Durant's contract expired in the summer of 2019. It is obvious that the Warriors will try their best to keep Durant, but for Meng Zhuan, this is not good news, because as long as the Warriors renew Durant, the Warriors will have no salary space to provide Zhuan Meng Zhuan, and they can only trade him. If Zhuan Meng Zhuan went to other teams, due to the system, he would not be able to get a big contract again. So Meng Zhuan Sheng was not only the famous saying "We are the championship before you come", but Durant was forced away. The Universe and Luxury Fleet of the first NBA combat power team collapsed, and Zhuan Meng also won a 4-year, $100 million contract.

This is how powerful Ricci Paul is in the NBA now.
