NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 187 The Future Is Yours
"Because he is very suitable to play under my hands. The Bucks are currently in a period of reconstruction, so they prefer rookies or draft picks."

"As for the draft pick, we can't move it. The team doesn't have much leverage at the moment. I'm afraid only Du Hong can trade rookies."

"But using Duhon to trade Mo Williams is simply too cheap for the Bucks. However, if they are allowed to take out the picks, the Bucks have no plans to produce results in the past two years. It is difficult for them to take out their own picks."

"So I think it's better to balance the salary to trade multiple players. After all, under my system, Temarsley and Hunter have no playing time at all."

"Although both of them are receiving basic salaries and don't have much salary, staying in the team is actually a waste of places."

"It just so happens that the Bucks have another person besides Mo Williams. Although I'm not very interested, it's the most appropriate way to balance the salary."

"Besides, he doesn't have much sense of presence. In order to get Duhon, the Bucks won't care about his situation at all. As for Sley and Hunter, it's up to them whoever they choose. Anyway, there is not much difference."

He has been talking to Smith, but Liu Rui's mouth has not stopped.

The tea in front of him kept refilling one cup after another. Seeing that the teapot was almost out of water, he was even more familiar with the path than Smith.

"Well, it is true that if you want the Bucks to take the pick, it will kill them, so balancing salary is indeed the best way."

"But besides Mo Williams, who is the other person in your picture??"

Seeing Liu Rui walking around in his office without seeing anything unusual, Smith has already gotten used to it.

After all, this guy has always been shameless.

If it wasn't for leading the team to really achieve results, Smith even thought that he was really here to eat and drink.

"Zaza Pachulia"

"Hey, it's another name I've never heard of, and I'm sure he won't be a good player, soooo."

Shaking his head, Smith didn't ask this time either. After all, Smith didn't feel the slightest interest in this kind of addition.

"Haha, almost. He was also a rookie last year. Like Mo Williams, he was also traded to the Bucks by the Magic last year."

"It can be seen how much the Bucks currently want capable rookies, but unfortunately they don't have much leverage."

"But it doesn't matter. Leaving the two of Sley alone, it's even worse. What I like about Pachulia isn't his skill, and it's not because he came here to play."

After Liu Rui's set up, he was really confident.

Presumably, before this, I already had a complete set of ideas in my mind, so what I said at this time was logical.

"Oh?? Rui, you are really strange today. Didn't you let him play? Could it be that you still let him play people??"

Hearing Liu Rui's words, Smith couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It's the first time I heard that a player was traded, but he was not asked to play. Could it be that he was asked to play? ?
"Ahem..., almost."

April 1

After telling Smith about this matter, Liu Rui didn't pay any more attention.

After all, Smith can handle it with Angie, and there is no challenge for this deal.

For the rookies that have been played, the Bucks can't wait for the whole person to take the initiative to lick up and make a trade.

For this deal, he will never refuse, it's just a matter of time.

As for giving up the traditional point guard and taking the initiative to find Mo Williams, whether this decision is right or wrong, time will naturally tell everything.

But Liu Rui felt that this was definitely a profitable deal.

In later generations, Curry is definitely one of the greatest point guards in NBA history.

But he averaged only 6.6 assists per game in his career.

If calculated according to the average standard of a point guard, it is equivalent to 36 minutes, which can even be said to be a failure.

But who dares to say that Curry is not an excellent defender? !

It is precisely because Curry's first organizational point in the Warriors is not on Curry's body. He uses more pick-and-rolls from his teammates, catches and shoots after running, and long-range three-pointers with the ball.

Although his three-pointer is too strong, which conceals his ability to break through and lick the blue.

In fact, Curry's passing ability is definitely not bad, but the data will not lie. Curry's career average assists per game.It is indeed only 6.6 times.

Although this has a lot to do with the Warriors' tactical system, in any case, traditional point guards don't necessarily need to exist all the time.

With a good system in place, an offensive point guard can even make the game flow.

This made Liu Rui, who was focused on cultivating Wallace and Okafor's coping capabilities, that Du Hong's existence was indeed tasteless.

Even his greatest role is to defend against the sharp-edged opponents in the back line.

But so far, the lack of flow in the offense is the Bobcats most need to solve the problem.

Because once faced with a real star player, it would be difficult for Du Hong to restrain his performance throughout the game.

As for the final result of a game, to put it bluntly, it still depends on which of the two teams scores more points, and who is the final winner of the game.

These things have been told to Smith, and Liu Rui believes that he will handle them well.

Liu Rui really didn't have time to think about those issues at this time, because tonight, the Bobcats will sit at home to meet the challenge from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers are currently ranked ninth in the East, followed by the Bobcats at No. 11 in the East.

The difference between the two teams is less than four games, and they can be said to be direct opponents for the playoffs.

Not only that, but this is also Liu Rui's first match against James since returning from time travel.

In later generations, regardless of whether James has more fans or more black fans.

It is undeniable that in the long history of the NBA, James' name is indeed deeply imprinted in this league.

Although it may be that the choice of transfer is a bit abrupt, even unpleasant.

But James is definitely a hero in Cleveland, and became the first player in NBA history to rank in the top ten in both scoring and assists.

Liu Rui couldn't say how excited he was when he met James this time, but it was still a very interesting thing to be able to meet Young Zhan after being reborn.

Before the game, the players of the two teams were warming up. For this game, Liu Rui had already made arrangements before the game.

Sitting idly on the sidelines eating French fries at this moment, such a scene at first glance naturally became the absolute focus of the field.

This also made James look at Liu Rui intentionally or unintentionally several times.

Until the moment when the eyes of the two met, Liu Rui smiled lightly at James, nodded, and greeted James silently without any coaching airs.

And after seeing Liu Rui's smile and nodding, James did not expect that Liu Rui would take the initiative to signal to him.

For the youngest head coach in the league, and the current record of leading the team is good, of course it has attracted the attention of many people in the league.

So at this time James also smiled and nodded in return, and then concentrated on shooting on the court. After all, neither of the two teams wanted to lose in this game.

Liu Rui, who was eating french fries off the court, was touching his chin at this moment, looking at James who was practicing shooting on the court, but thinking in his heart.

If you win this game, then do you want to hug him after the game and say: "Come on, the future is yours...".
