The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1209 I will come like an angel

Latest URL: NBA official: Los Angeles Lakers send Christian Laettner, Derek Harper to Boston Celtics in exchange for Dana Barros (PG), Stanley Roberts (StasC), Big David Wesley (PG), the twelfth overall pick in the first round in 1996, the twelfth overall pick in the second round in 1996, and the first round pick in 2000.

When the transaction was completed, Jim Bass still had doubts: "Did we make money?"

After all, Christian Laitner is a very popular white player who is still in the ascendant stage of his career and possesses All-Star level strength. It is really hard to say that the Lakers are making a lot of money by exchanging him with the Celtics. up.

Dana Ballos is a very powerful point guard. He reached the peak of his career last season. He averaged 20 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists per game. He averaged 3.3 three-pointers per game. He has a shooting percentage of 49% and a free throw percentage of 89%. He is indeed a rare player, but after signing a four-year $16 million contract with the Celtics, his data has dropped to an average of 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. , The three hit rates are still 48+40+88, but it is obviously one level worse than last year.

And Baros might be the only useful player the Celtics sent over.

Stanley Roberts is a parallel importer who completely wasted his talent. He came from the same school as O'Neill. Because of the NCAA's No. 45 law, he left school early and went to Spain to play professional basketball for a year. Then he ate himself into a big fat man , Relying on Rick Barry's inexplicable kneeling and licking before the draft also strengthened his reputation, and finally entered the league with the 20th pick in the first round.

As a result, he was completely sorry for Barry's flattery.

He is tall and has long arms, and his athletic ability is beyond the table. When he is in good physical condition, he can play like O'Neal, but the problem is that his poor physical condition accounts for most of his life.

He was the "precursor" to Andrew Bynum and Eddie Curry, a self-destructive wreck with great talent but a dwarf mentality.

Now he is still carrying a $3 million annual contract that will not expire until 1999. Like Benoint Benjamin, Buss Jr. can't imagine what role he has.

Another side giveaway is David Willis... what to expect from an undrafted guard with a wretched look and a short stature?

What seems to work is those few draft picks.

"If it works, you can see the effect again. Don't rush to draw conclusions." Louis said calmly, "Ask Jerry to see how he is progressing."

Little Buss went.

Louis took the statistics of the players who had just been traded.

The one that caught his attention the most was Dana Barros.

If he hadn't accidentally seen Barros' 50-point performance in a single game in 1995, Louie couldn't believe that there was still such a player similar to Mohammed Rauf hidden in the league.

Ballos' style of play, offensive habits, body and even soft throws all remind Louis of Stephen Curry in his rookie period.

Under the promotion of Louis, professional basketball accepted the three-pointer very quickly, which also contributed to the rise of Baros.

Louis didn't want to entrust the unfinished things of Rauf to Baros, but just felt that such a player whose technical characteristics were a bit ahead of the times would develop better under his own hands.

Barros may not be part of "beautiful basketball," but if you want to turn the Lakers into the greatest offensive team ever, in addition to being equipped with a suitable tactical system, you must have players who can play in the regular stage. .

As for the other two, Roberts should be hopeless, but he already has a plan to deal with this person. Wesley belongs to Louis.

In Gavitt's eyes, he just stuffed leftovers for the compensation of the parity trade, but he didn't know that Wesley would become a good starting point guard.

Coupled with this year's No. 12 pick and the unprotected first round in 2000, no matter how you look at it, it's a profit, right?

What can the No. 12 pick do this year?

At least one can choose between Steve Nash and Peja Stojakovic.

Louis had just finished the deal, but West had a difficult time.

Because Louis used all the two tradable positive assets of Turner and Harper.

The only resource left to West was Ostertag.

But he doesn't want to trade Ostertag.

Because if you want Garnett to grow smoothly, the Lakers need a meat shield inside to help resist damage.

If Ostertag is not taken out, it is impossible for others to give the first-round pick to the front and middle.

What's more, Ostertag can only be the basis of the transaction, and some other resources must be added to complete the transaction.

West had no choice but to come to the president's office and ask Louis to take back his order.

"With the resources we have now, it is very difficult to trade a high-ranking first-round pick." West paused deliberately when he said this, "unless... pick a tradeable from the untradeable list of."

"Forget it, Jerry, you have worked hard." Louis didn't even look at West, only the information in his hand, "If possible, I hope you can help me keep an eye on San Antonio. What's going on there? Tell me anytime."

West responded and was about to leave.

"By the way, what do you think of Stanley Roberts?" Louis asked casually.

West said: "If he can have a strong enough heart, there may be a day when he can realize his talent."

"Forget it, I don't have time to wait for him to strengthen his heart." Louis said softly, "What do you think we can exchange for him?"

What can a premium parallel import be exchanged for?

"His contract doesn't expire until 1999..." West wasn't sure whether Roberts would be able to sell, "I think it's hard to get back valuable assets."

"Yeah, that's what everyone is saying, so if we can get back a useful asset, shouldn't we push for a deal decisively?"

"Theoretically yes."

"Even if this asset is slightly risky?"

"That's right."

At this time, West felt a little uneasy.

Louis was obviously trying to set his words.

"So, if I can use Stanley to exchange for a high-risk, high-reward player, will you support me?" Louistu asked insightfully, "Do you think it is feasible to exchange Stanley Roberts for Dennis Rodman?" ?”

West's face changed drastically: "This...I...I don't know."

"Let me ask another question, do you agree to this deal?"

"I have no idea."

"If you don't know, you don't agree." Louis said with a smile, "Jerry, I'm not here to ask for your opinion, I'm here to inform you of the news, and I will complete the deal."

In front of Louis, West had no strength to fight.

He's just the vice president, Louie is the president, he can do whatever he wants.

When he respects you, he can pretend to value your opinion, but when your opinion disagrees with him, he will let you know what it means to be the top leader with absolute power.

Rodman is a player with a lot of bad records. It is undeniable that some of his skills are very useful. Moreover, he played for Louie, was a friend of Wilson, and was a core member of the Knicks dynasty.

Only now at this time, the Lakers have the opportunity to exchange **** like Stanley Roberts back for Rodman.

"But... Portland has no intention of trading Dennis..." West can only say so~www.mtlnovel.com~ But Louis is a time traveler, how can he not know how Rodman is? To the Chicago Bulls?

Now, he's just going to do the same thing again in Portland.

"Believe me, in a few days, Pat Riley will take great pains to send Dennis away. When he is almost desperate, I will descend like an angel."

⑴ "If this kid (Stanley Roberts) doesn't make it into the top three (picks), then there must be teams that regret it. All the teams that pick him after the top five are draft thieves. Now He's already stronger than a lot of NBA centers and already has the skills to be a great center. I think Stanley is far ahead of Shaquille O'Neal(???) offensively, he can shoot from beyond the arc, Doing a lot of unimaginable moves, he's better than Shaquille." - Rick Barry.

⑵ In reality, the outbreak of Baros’s 95 season benefited from the shortening of the three-point line and the reckless performance of the 76ers, which allowed him to hit the superstars as he wanted, but he shot 44% before the three-point line shortened. Hit rate, so I don't think the length of the three-point line is decisive for him.
