The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1388 bye bye

Latest website: After the Lakers won the championship this year, the system has officially taken shape, which means that starting from this year, they will pay more attention to the functionality of players rather than absolute strength in the draft and signings during the offseason.

So after locking Duncan, they have to determine the 59th pick in the second round.

In this position, there is really no one to choose from.

There was Ben Wallace last year, who is more famous among the undrafted picks this year?

Louis has a bad mind and can't remember those unknown juniors, even though the timeline has come to 1997.

However, how many people can remember the 1997 draft pick?

Therefore, he gave full play to the prerogative of the president and handed over this matter to West. Anyway, the LOGO man is also a person who can't sit still.

What Louis needs to handle is Greg Ostertag's deal.

Although he appreciates Ostertag's attitude of doing his best for the team, it is not suitable if it is not suitable, especially because the team does not currently have the need to reserve a big center for O'Neal.

Even if there is this need, after Duncan came, they also have better manpower to face the sharks.

Ostertag enters a contract year with Garnett next year.

Continuing to stay with the Lakers, he is still only a few minutes per game as a substitute, which is also very detrimental to Qiantu. No matter what aspect is considered, trading Ostertag is a decision that is beneficial to both parties.

The person who is most positive about this is Minnesota's Kevin McHale.

At first, McHale wanted to go whoring for nothing.

After Louis saw his intention, he opened his mouth and asked for Ray Allen.

"Coach, Ostertag can't replace Ray Allen!" McHale didn't believe that Coach Lu would treat him like this.

Louie said angrily: "Yes, he is definitely not worth your exchange for Ray Allen, but in my opinion, he can definitely exchange something for us."

"Coach, just say it, what do you want, except for the first-round picks for this year and the next five years, as well as Juwan Howard, Kenny Anderson, and Ray Allen, there is nothing we can't trade."

That being said, all valuable items in your team are not for sale, so what are you talking about?

Fortunately, Louis is by no means an unreasonable person.

He knew that McHale didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Danny Ainge, so he bit the pick very hard.

But Louie didn't want his draft pick either.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in what you said, you just need to do one thing for me, Greg is yours."

"As you order."

"Go talk to Sacramento about a deal."

McHale asked suspiciously: "What deal?"

"I have my eye on an overseas player. His signing rights are in the hands of the Kings. You go and get it, and then Grieg will be yours."

"Oh? Is there any overseas player that the coach cares about so much? What's his name?"

Louis said without reservation: "Dejan Bodiloga."

"Coach, if I find out that this player can be of use to me, does it matter what we said on the phone?"

"Okay." Louis said with a smile, "but you can't call me from now on."

"Haha, I'm just kidding."

"I like your jokes, just like the orangutan's bad jokes that make people laugh."

"It's a little bit too much"

Louis believed that McHale could get Bodi Loga's signing rights.

This kind of thing has to be done by a rookie in the management like McHale, so that people will not be suspicious.

If Louis goes to talk to the Kings, Bodiloga estimates that he will have to wait until the age of 44⑴ like in his previous life before the Kings will give up his signing rights.

(1) Bodi Loga retired at the age of 34

Moreover, this kind of thing is not easy to involve multiple parties.

If there are suddenly many teams interested in Bodi Loga, even if the Kings don't keep them, they will have to wait for the highest offer.

Therefore, just let McHale do it, see the effect, and if it fails, wait until the offseason to make an offer that the Kings cannot refuse through other connections.

Before the start of the draft, the first team to complete the transaction was the Portland Trail Blazers.

Riley resigned, the Trail Blazers had no leader, and Jordan seemed to give up. He didn't care about the team affairs at all. As soon as the season ended, he fled to the casino and gambled wildly for days and nights, and then there was no news.

In the Western Conference finals, Clifford Robinson's punch to Rex Chapman tore apart the relationship between the two sides.

The Blazers, who intend to reorganize the lineup, cut their flesh decisively and made a deal.

The Blazers sent Rex Chapman in exchange for George Muresan, Isiah Ryder and this year's No. 18 pick.

This transaction reveals two pieces of information.

The Cavaliers decided to use the existing lineup as the foundation to carry out in-depth formation.

The Rydell and Muresan they paid for are both tasteless players to them. The former has the ability to score 15 points per game with his free hands and feet, but he basically does not defend on the court and has a lot of trouble off the court. Before the Cavaliers prostituted Mourning for nothing last year, Muresan felt that everything was good, but compared with Mourning, the gap can hardly be described in words.

An All-Star small forward in exchange for a mid-to-late first-round pick with two useful but poor players is definitely a reinforcement.

The Blazers seem to be planning to rebuild rather than reorganize, because the top five players of any championship team should not have Ryder and Muresan.

The night before the draft, after Louie's painstaking planning, the Knicks also chose to trade.

June 27

NBA: New York Knicks send Shaun Kemp, Jerome Williams to Vancouver Grizzlies for Cedric Ceballos, Rick Mahon and 1999 first-round pick right.

The New York Times ran a headline about it, titled "The End of an Era."

With Kemp's position in the Knicks dynasty, his departure is far less serious than Louie and Wilson.

But the harm this incident caused to the fans and the impact on the team was no less than the departure of Louis and Wilson.

Not to mention Kemp's outstanding contributions to the Knicks, judging from his age, Ewing's successor will be him after he gets old.

Kemp has always been Ewing's sycophant.

However, because of money, this beautiful relationship that should have been cited as a good story by countless people was completely destroyed.

Kemp wanted the second highest salary in the team, but the Knicks, who wanted to save money, refused.

Kemp was angry that his efforts were not rewarded, and even more dissatisfied that Ewing never came forward to speak for him, but before today, he still said everywhere that he wanted to play for the Knicks and planned to retire in New York in the future.

Then, the transaction happened.

This is a bolt from the blue, shattering the last glimmer of fantasies of the fans.

"I thought Leader was going to be New York's Reed Auerbach, and I was wrong; I thought Benj was going to be New York's Larry Bird, and I was wrong; I thought Sean was going to be Patrick's old, support The man who started the team, but I was wrong again.

This is the most disappointing day of my life and I can't bear the outcome, just like I can't forget how proud they were to stand together.

From now on, what we have to face is an aging team. They are no longer a dynasty, no longer a contender for the world championship, and no longer even a strong team. And in the shadow of the Dolan family, I don't see any hope of a revival for this team.

Accept it, fans, professional basketball in New York is dead! "

The Times' number one sports writer, Dave Anderson, wrote the final paragraphs of the piece with sadness and anger.

In Los Angeles, Louis, who almost single-handedly created the deal, didn't feel much.

Did he tear down the Knicks? No, he just offered a solution acceptable to both parties, and the Lakers didn't get any benefits.

Camp is destined to go~www.mtlnovel.com~The only difference is where to go.

As for the significance of losing Kemp to the Knicks, he has no intention of pursuing it, because many unimaginable things have happened before.

The Knicks are now the laughing stock of the league, no one respects them, and now they are just doing what they should do.

When a person dies, he will go to the ground.

If the team's luck is not good, it has to brake in time.

Louis feels that the Knicks sending Kemp away now is a sober expression. With the few cards in their hands, there may not be a chance to see the Lakers at the top in the future.

The premise is that the Dolan family will no longer intervene in team affairs, and at the same time, fully trust the management headed by Buford and Elgin Baylor.

It sounds hopeless, but how can people have no dreams?

Dream first, there is everything in the dream.
