The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1084 luxury negotiating team
Wilson didn't say hello to Louie before approaching the Lakers.
The confidentiality work of both parties is done very well, and no one is informed in advance before the negotiation is completed.
But after the Lakers officially released the news, the repercussions of the whole thing became intense.
Benjamin Wilson played for the Knicks for eight seasons and led the team to seven consecutive championships.
As his contract expired, Wilson decided to put an end to the long entanglement.
Wilson's choice was not only unexpected, it hurt Knicks teammates.
Reggie Miller, who came from the same age as Wilson, couldn't accept the fact that he was leaving, and he couldn't forgive him for not saying that he was leaving from the beginning to the end.
"He's always been my little brother, even if he came into the league earlier than me, it's not going to change. For me, it's really **** hurting, we've been together for so many years, for him As if it wasn't bullshit, he easily gave up everything we were fighting for in New York and went to LA. LA? Was he serious? What could there be to help him other than make it easier for him to lick the star's **** his?"
Knicks players have the same attitude towards Wilson's westward trip to Los Angeles.
Not just Miller, Kemp said in a grim tone: "He's lost all my respect."
Stockton said: "He left without telling anyone, even Coach Lu didn't know he was leaving, and to him, we were nothing. It meant that when we met on the field, he told us It means nothing.”
Strangely, Ewing, who was supposed to be celebrating, didn't respond.
He declined to comment.
"As long as Coach Lu is around, none of this matters," said team veteran Alex Stevens.
The problem is, the Knicks haven't talked about Louie's extension yet.
The media in New York followed Louie's contract extension every day to keep fans updated.
But what they didn't know was that the negotiations between Louie and the Knicks were over.
Negotiators have communicated Louis' intentions to the head office.
However, the decision to leave can only be made by Louis.
The Knicks can't let people know that Louie is leaving the team through a "dream in life, each wonderful" style announcement when Louie is still a free agent.
This leaves the players in the dark.
They thought Louie's contract extension was just some terms that were not negotiated.
And Louie is the one most affected by Wilson's signing with the Lakers.
Los Angeles is ideal for families.
But the Lakers' internal structure is relatively complete, and if they want Louis to join, they have to accept his transformation.
With Wilson, the Lakers rebuild much faster.
Now, Louie needs to wait for the finale of Jerry Buss and his negotiating team.
Louis has rejected most of the teams. If other teams feel that the offer will not be better than the previous team, they will not take the initiative to contact Louis.
During this period, the only team that came close to Louie was the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Cleveland was Louie's technically first home, and although he was born in Hong Kong, few people remember where he lived when he was three years old.
He spent the first half of his life in Cleveland.
The Cavaliers are willing to honor Louis as godfather, but they won't let go of spending.
Louie feels that to win the championship, he must ensure that he can spend the money to fill the salary cap every year, and even spend far more than the salary cap when necessary.
Then, the owner of the Cavaliers began to tell him that he was a small business and didn't have that much money to spend.
The Cavaliers were therefore out.
An unprofessional boss who is willing to spend money and a professional boss who is unwilling to spend money are two deadly poisons, both of which cannot be touched.
The unprofessional and unprofessional ones like Sterling should stay far away.
July 1
On the 0th, the long-awaited Lakers negotiating team arrived in New York.
Boss Jerry Bass brought his son Jim Bass, Jerry West, Tragic Master, Deputy General Manager Mitch Kupchak, and home announcer Chick Hearn to the hotel that had been agreed with Louie.
When they arrived, Louis had not yet arrived.
"Several, what do you need?"
This is a high-end Chinese restaurant. The owner, Zhou Zhihao, has an impressive smile.
"Does Coach Lu often eat here?" Bass asked.
Zhou Zhihao said with a smile: "The Knicks' games are often played until twelve o'clock in the evening. We are the only Chinese restaurant that can provide high-quality food at that time."
"Give each of us a dish that Coach Lu likes to order."
Jim's eyes swept around.
"That coach Lu likes to eat in this kind of place?" Jim laughed. "Then he must not be able to find North when he comes to Los Angeles."
The humorous Hearn couldn't help but say: "Don't talk too soon, Jim, New York is bigger than you think. This may just be a hobby of Coach Lu."
Jim asked, "Do we really have to have him in?"
"It has to be done," West said gloomily. "It's a prerequisite for Benjamin to join the Lakers."
The tragic master asked in surprise, "You haven't signed yet?"
Bass shook his head helplessly: "We just reached a verbal agreement. If we can't convince Coach Lu to join, he will join Orlando."
"Benj and Shaquille O'Neal team up?" Tragic hands began to sweat, "For God's sake, this must never come true!"
West, a pessimist, said with a smirk: "Good luck to us, maybe as soon as he comes in, he'll be unhappy because we've got so many people out, and then we're out, and then... We just got into the ground with Scottie **** Pippen and David Robinson."
West has no apparent mood swings, he's just stating a fact.
In the years after Tragic's retirement, Pippen and Robinson proved themselves to be the league's top duo, but this era was too competitive.
Think about the strength of the Knicks, think about the strength of the Blazers, everyone basically accepts a fact.
That is, if the Lakers center on Pippen and Robinson, they will not win the championship.
That's why Wilson is so important.
He really can change everything.
A few minutes passed, and Louie still hadn't appeared.
Hearn quipped: "Evan, I hope you won't ask them to give you a hamburger later because you can't eat Chinese food."
Jim, this dude, got excited when he heard it.
"Imagine we missed Coach Lu because Dawgyi wanted a hamburger, and then Benj didn't sign with us. How funny is this story?"
West quipped: “Probably having intermittent dementia at the negotiating table with George McCann is a level of fun.”
Naive Jim didn't know he was being satirized and thought the great LOGO man agreed with him.
West still felt that the negotiating team had too many people, and some people were completely unnecessary.
Like Jim Bass~www.mtlnovel.com~what can he do? Let Louie know that there is a disgusting boy in the Lakers operations department that is an eyesore?
For example, the tragic master, he has never been a master negotiator, even as a commentator, he can be called a master of nonsense literature, and only speaks those things that everyone knows well.
Like West himself.
He didn't really want Louie to join because he knew Louie would tear down everything he built and replace everything he had in Los Angeles.
However, if his set cannot be successful, it is only natural for the old Bass to choose substitutions.
He admired Louie's ability, but he didn't like the result.
West thought to himself, and then he couldn't help looking out the window.
That person is here.
⑴ Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sparked a scramble between the NBA and the ABA before entering the league. Originally, the ABA was the league that Abdul-Jabbar tended to join, because it was the New York Nets (hometown) that competed with the Bucks. At that time, the ABA, which was already in extreme financial difficulties, regarded Kareem as a life-saving straw. The owner of the Nets gave George McCann, then the president of the ABA, a check for $1 million, and told him to see Kareem when the time came. No matter what, put the check directly on the table to show the determination that the ABA wants him. Then McCann forgot the check in his pocket while negotiating with Kareem, he! No! take! out! Come! Also made an insulting offer to Kareem. If such a person can be the president, ABA should be destroyed.
