The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1119 Do something, Angie!

Chapter 1119 Come on, Angie!

"What about Reggie Lewis?"

"I don't want to trade a healthy player for a player with a heart problem."

"Coach Lu, Scottie Pippen is my dream girl, you can make any price, I must get him!"

"Take Danny Manning for it, I think it will work."

"Haha, the weather is fine today."

"Yeah, great for fishing."

Hearing that Louis wanted Manning, Shafier had no idea about Pippen.

Although Sampson won the MVP and FMVP, he is 35 years old, and Manning is the player who can rely on the future.

However, compared to the upcoming draft and the free market in July, there is one more important thing.

In the summer of 1995, the NBA expanded again.

But this time, the expansion of the alliance chose Canada outside the border.

The Toronto Raptors and Vancouver Grizzlies entered the league.

There are two teams destined to bleed.

They are the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks.

These two teams have lineup depth that other teams cannot match, and the eight-man protection list is too small for them.

They're all but guaranteed to lose two players each in this expansion draft.

The Lakers are much simpler. They only need to put Wilson, Pippen, Robinson, Ellis, Green, Divac, Cole, and Ceballos on the protection list, and the others love whoever they want.

June 22

The NBA's expansion draft begins.

The Heat's protection list is: Sampson, Manning, Drexler, Petrovic, Dumars, Lewis, Rodman, Jaylen Rose.

The Knicks' protection list is: Ewing, Miller, Hill, Kemp, Stockton, Christie, Houston, Cassell.

The equally enticing lists of players not on the protected list for both teams are: Dale Davis, P.J. Brown, Randy Brown, John Saley, Stevens, Reggie Williams, Raoul husband, Kukoc, Mahon.

Facing this list, the two teams can't wait to give up the selection opportunities of some teams and bring them all home.

The Raptors, who had the No. 1 pick in the expansion draft, first took away the Knicks' versatile forward Toni Kukoc, and then took P.J. Brown from the Heat.

The Grizzlies took Mohamed Rauf from the Knicks and Dale Davis from the Heat.

For the Knicks and the Heat, this is no small blow.

But relatively, the Heat have been more affected.

P.J and Davis are both important rotations inside, and their existence is an important guarantee for the 35-year-old Sampson to dominate the game vigorously in the playoffs.

The Knicks didn't feel anything.

An all-around forward with weak defense like Kukoc doesn't meet the needs of the Knicks, and Rauf is like an unwanted child.

Although he made great contributions to the last three championships of the Knicks dynasty, in New York, only Louis really admired him from the beginning to the end.

Tomjanovich promoted Sam Cassell as Stockton's backup.

Rauf tends to be reused only when the Knicks have nothing to play.

His eccentricities and disturbing religious beliefs are too dangerous, and sending him away in this way is the best way the Knicks management can think of.

In Vancouver, at least, his problems would go unnoticed.

What surprised Louis the most was that the Atlanta Hawks didn't put Liu Yuqing on the protection list.

Last year, Liu Yuqing entered the NBA lottery pick as the 10th pick in the first round, but did not receive the treatment she deserved. The team didn't train him because he didn't agree with the coach's philosophy and lacked communication with his teammates. He was a person who neither fit in with the group nor liked the people above him, and completely closed himself off.

In his rookie season, he averaged only 9 minutes per game. Since he did not have the ball, his performance was dismal, averaging only 2 points and 2 rebounds per game.

The Grizzlies, who had already taken Raouf, didn't seem to mind having another weirdo in the team, so they selected Liu Yuqing as well.

Then there is this year's draft. The teams that get the top five picks are the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings.

The Lakers don't have a first-round pick this year. If they don't make a deal, they can basically just watch the show from the sidelines.

Louis doesn't want to be a spectator, he also wants to participate in this annual party.

Because he's interested in UW's Michael Finley.

Look at this guy, he's also called Michael, like his son. Although his son is no longer called by this name, seeing this name is like seeing his own son.

"Jerry, I don't care, you have to help me get a mid-to-late first-round pick."

West's pupils shrank.

"What price are you willing to pay?"

Louis joked: "If you get a first-round pick in the middle and late stages, you shouldn't be sending Scottie Pippen, right?"

West didn't mean to take the joke, "Where is Cedric Ceballos?"

"This is the star of hope who averaged 17 points per game in our team. You sold him for the first-round pick in the middle and late stages?"

"What about the first round in the future?"

Louis said lightly: "You know I started in Boston, and I hate trading my first-round pick the most."

"I see."

West walked out of the president's office with a gloomy face.

Jim Bass waited for him to leave before saying, "Sir, are you embarrassing Jerry a little too much?"

"Is it difficult? If he can't even do this well, then the Lakers deserve to be rotten in the West for so many years."

Louis didn't disrespect West, he just felt that it was rare to have such a good player under his command, and he would be sorry for his talent if he didn't send him some work.

If it was Baylor, Louie wouldn't dare to let him help him get a first round back, because the old guy is likely to lose two first rounds in order to get himself a first round.

At this time, an international call came from Louis' office.

The call came from Vancouver, and the person who called him was his old subordinate, Danny Ainge, who had just taken office as the deputy general manager of the Grizzlies.

About a month ago, Ainge was the Knicks' home announcer.

Now, the position of the general manager of the Grizzlies' management is vacant, and there is no president on it. That is to say, the deputy general manager is their highest decision-maker.

"If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't even know you went to Vancouver." Louis asked with a smile, "Does it feel good to go abroad?"

Angie replied straightforwardly: "It's not good at all, this team sucks."

"So you want to turn them into a strong team, right?"

"Yes, Coach, I want to negotiate a deal with you."

Louie feels old again, with players from the past already in management.

In the future, I'm afraid that I can meet an acquaintance with just a casual phone call.

"tell me the story."

"I heard Scottie Pippen isn't a Laker thing for sale?"

"Well, he's not."

"That is to say, he can be traded?"

"Your understanding is getting better and better, Danny."

For these old subordinates, Louis likes to mock them whenever he has anything to do.

Angie has long been used to it, and business matters.

"Coach, I can send us the sixth pick in the first round and the 29th pick in the first round (from the Heat) and MAR. Do you think this price can get Scottie Pippen?"

"I can't get it."

"I can give you another first-round pick in the future."

"Danny, I only want the known present, not the future." Louis smiled, "If you can move the sixth pick a few picks forward, maybe we can talk again."

"How many positions do you want?"

"I think the third pick is good."

"Reed won't agree."

"So, you can try to get the second pick."

"With that pick I'd probably go straight to Jerry Stockhouse."

"Yes, you can." Louis gave a piece of advice, "If I were you, I wouldn't be interested in Jerry Stackhouse, he's not as good as MJ."

Louie chatted with Angie for 20 minutes~www.mtlnovel.com~ Angie's desire for Pippen is urgent, and he knows that the arrival of Pippen can make the Grizzlies gain a firm foothold immediately.

This demand is not for winning the championship or the future of the team, but for him to secure his position in the management team.

The Grizzlies currently have no general manager. If he can take them to the playoffs in the first year or two of the team, who else can compete with him?

General manager?

President?

These are all desirable goals.

Moreover, it is not necessary to stay in Vancouver if he has really made achievements. Some teams are willing to ask him to give advice.

Louis suddenly discovered that the gate to get Kevin Garnett seems to have not been completely welded?

Do something, Angie!
