The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1128 The first single of the Lakers career

Since he had to answer a lot of calls today and spend a lot of saliva, even at noon, Louis never left the office.

Zhao Yuanzheng came in and out, he was the busiest person.

At present, the two teams most likely to reach a deal with the Lakers are the Grizzlies and the Rockets.

The personnel information of the two teams, the salary space, the players they want to get rid of, and the recent news must be collected.

Louis definitely didn't have time to do this, so Zhao Yuanzheng basically did it for him.

Jim Bass is, for the most part, just a mascot.

He is an assistant to the president, but he can't do most of the things that require an assistant to do. But if he can't do it, he can let others do it, such as the diligent Coach Zhao.

Zhao Yuanzheng was willing to work as a tool for Jim, and Louis knew that this dude was playing tricks, so he let it go.

The little Jiujiu here is actually related to Zhao Yuanzheng.

Louie believes he will one day leave the Lakers, just like he left the Knicks.

And Zhao Yuanzheng's career has just started, he may not be a good coach, but he is a good administrator.

The future of the Lakers belongs to Buss Jr.

Now that he has a relationship with Bass Jr., Zhao Yuanzheng's development prospects in the Lakers will be very clear.

"Sir, what's for lunch?"

Louis really wanted to roll his eyes at this worthless dandy.

But he is right, no matter how hard you work, you must not forget to eat.

"You recommend one?" Louie said.

"I know a French restaurant that's absolutely amazing!" Jim said, "And they're not far from the forum, and if you order takeout, it can be delivered within half an hour."

Louis asked back: "Then why don't you act quickly?"

"Okay, I'm going!"

When Bass went to order takeaway, Zhao Yuanzheng came in again.

"What's the catch?" Louis asked.

Zhao Yuanzheng said: "I think Houston may want to trade Christian Laettner."

Louis originally had a casual attitude towards Zhao Yuanzheng's report.

As soon as the other party said this, Louis regained his spirits.

"Leitner?" Louis asked in surprise, "Are they crazy?"

After Leitner entered the NBA, he really lost the glory of his college days, but as the most proud student of the old K at the beginning of his career, he is a comprehensive player.

Like a Bill Laimbeer with some added athleticism and a full offensive set.

In the first two seasons, Laettner was still adapting to the NBA. Last season, he averaged 18 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists per game, proving that he can still play well in professional leagues.

"Houston is definitely not crazy, they just can't satisfy Laettner's appetite." Zhao Yuanzheng took out a piece of news about the Rockets, "In the middle of last season, Laettner refused to renew his contract early."

Louis fetched the newspaper and read it.

The report described how Laettner refused to renew his contract.

The Rockets are willing to give him a five-year, 30 million contract extension.

But Laettner decisively refused, because "if I have to play on a team that can't win, I want to get more money."

Laettner's counteroffer to the Rockets is 60 million over five years.

If it doubled directly, the negotiations between the two parties would naturally be unable to proceed.

An annual salary of tens of millions is standard for top players.

People like Ewing, Wilson, and Sampson all have tens of millions of annual salaries.

With Laettner's strength, he is definitely not worthy of such a high salary. He quoted such a high price just to let the Rockets retreat.

Moreover, Leitner also left room.

He didn't have to ask for the money.

His premise for taking this money is "if I have to play on a team that can't win." On the other hand, if he can play on a team that can win, the asking price will be much more reasonable.

On the surface, this news was that Laettner and the Rockets could not reach an agreement on the number of contract extensions. In fact, Laettner, as a winner in college, could not bear the harsh environment where the Rockets lost all year round.

He doesn't want to stay in the Rockets anymore, and that's the point.

Will the Rockets trade Laettner for Divac?

From the other side's point of view, this seems unnecessary.

But if Laettner is determined to leave, it seems to be a solution to change to some good goods and stop the loss in time before he breaks the can.

half an hour later...

"Jim, didn't you say it would be delivered in half an hour?" Louis said with a grimace. "Where's my foie gras? Where's my tuna vegetable falafel? Where's my caviar? My sweet Bretta Where's Nicole?"

Zhao Yuanzheng said in surprise: "Eat so much? Don't lose weight?"

Louis rolled his eyes at him: "Nonsense, how can you lose weight if you don't eat enough?"

"I said last time that the Mexican guy who delivered the food was unreliable, and he was late again!" Jim angrily said, "I'm going to sue them!"

Little Bass made a phone call in front of Louis and Zhao Yuanzheng, and yelled at the store, but his power was limited.

"If you don't deliver the food to the forum's president's office within five minutes, I...I'll scold you to death!"

Louis wanted to ask Jim how he could curse people to death with his poor vocabulary, but the phone rang.

"Coach Lu, is Divac still there?"

"Still."

"Great!" Angie said excitedly, "I'm willing to use Lou (Liu Yuqing), Byron Scott, Benoit Benjamin (benoit benjaminc) and a 1996 first-round pick with lottery protection. In exchange for him!"

Do you think that Angie seems to be very generous in reporting so many people at once?

First of all, Liu Yuqing is basically regarded as a negative asset by Atlanta (old club) and Vancouver, while Scott was a very good defender when he was young, but now he has come to the end of his career. As for the center named Benoit, he and Ewing was the No. 2 pick in the same year, and he was known for his perfect center forward before the draft.

However, this person is like Eddie Curry before Eddie Curry. He has everything, but lacks self-discipline, can't control his body shape, and loses control every offseason.

In this way, in the first seven years of his career, he still averaged 13 points, 8 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game.

But since 1992, his condition has gone from bad to worse due to injuries caused by getting older and uncontrollable weight.

And finally the first round with lottery protection...

With the Grizzlies in this situation, do they have a 1% chance of making the playoffs next year?

"Sir, the duck liver you want!"

As soon as Jim was about to call out, he was stared at by Louis' eyes of death, so he didn't dare to make a sound, and he was just a ruthless plate-setting machine.

"You are too generous, Danny, but the salaries you give to these players are more than Vlad's. We have no room." Louis asked with a smile, "Should I add some more money?" '?"

Angie said excitedly: "Cedric Ceballos, if he can be added, the salary can be matched."

Louis couldn't help laughing.

"Danny, tell me, I'm giving away for a Chinese freak who doesn't fit in, a crippled veteran who can retire at any time, a real big fat pig who can't control his mouth, and a first-round pick that is impossible to fall into my hands. All-star center and fast-improving future star for what?" Louie asked, "Do you think I'm an idiot, Danny?"

Louie, who had a playful smile just a second ago, suddenly looked as terrifying as the night O.J. Simpson committed the crime—Jim didn't know what Simpson was like when he committed the crime, but he swore that it would not be more terrifying than the current Louis.

What, you said Simpson didn't kill anyone? Shut your beak!

"Sorry, Coach Lu, I didn't think carefully."

Angie originally thought that the Lakers planned to rebuild, and Louie's remarks about "not for sale" angered Divac and others, so he must be eager to deal with them.

As long as the fledgling Angie uses his brains, he will not regard Louis as an angel who is willing to give him away at a high price.

"Let me tell you how to do this deal." Louie said in a firm tone, "Let Byron Scott stay cool and change your first-round pick for an unprotected first-round pick." , give me another 1998 first-round pick swap, and I can count on the fact that we played together once, give you Green and Cedric Ceballos."

Angie gasped.

Louie didn't give him another choice.

Take it or the negotiations are over.

Is it worth it?

He is an average starter, and Ceballos averaged 18 points per game for the Lakers last season. He is definitely a rising star who can continue to improve.

However, the unprotected first round in 1996 was too important.

Although the new year's college season has not yet started, everyone knows that next year will be the draft year.

If the Grizzlies don't have a good record, they will have to rely on next year's draft to save their lives.

"Coach Lu, can you change the first-round pick from 1996 to 1997?"

Louis smiled. For him, the first round of the past two years is no different.

But he still has to teach Angie what it means to apply maximum pressure.

"It looks like you don't have the sincerity to complete the deal with me."

As soon as Louis finished speaking, Angie said excitedly: "No, no, Coach Lu, the new season will be the first season in the history of the Grizzlies. It will be difficult for us to return to the playoffs, and it may be time There are so many talented rookies coming into the draft and we need this opportunity!"

Louie was silent for 15 seconds.

Angie waited in agony, and every second, an evil voice in his heart shouted: You screwed up!

"We are old friends, Danny, if you insist on this, then you have to give me the second round pick in 1996."

"Deal, Coach Lu!"

"Seriously, if it wasn't for you, I would never have made this deal." Louis did not forget to comfort Anji psychologically, making him feel that he was very profitable.

"I really appreciate it!"

If Angie could stand in front of Louis now, he would definitely make a 90-degree bow that even the Japanese lamented.

"You guys send the fax to the alliance first, this is such a mess, I haven't eaten yet."

"It's all my fault, Coach Lu, you can eat first, I will convey the information of the trade to the league!"

Louis hung up the phone, but there were two pairs of Kazilan's big eyes full of doubts in front of him.

"It's done."

Louis simply said ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Zhao Yuanzheng asked excitedly: "Who is the unlucky one?"

"Your words are really ugly, what is unlucky?" Someone Lu obviously lacks self-knowledge, "Whoever made a deal with me didn't think it was a deal that was beneficial to him when the deal happened? As for the deal that happened Negative effects of... Please, I'm not God, how would I know that there would be such consequences?"

Zhao Yuanzheng asked seriously: "So who is the unlucky guy?"

"Vancouver."

"Oh, poor Danny, his management career is going to end in the middle."

"No, he and I just get what we need."

Only Jim Bass is pure, and he winked at Zhao Yuanzheng: "So, that, what happened?"
