The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1476 James Prodigal Feels So Good Dolan
Latest website: Louis sent away Paul: Guston, in a few days, guests from New York came to the door.
Elgin Baylor brings James Dolan for a visit.
Since Little Dolan came up with a 300 million luxury tax, he has "growth". He finally realized that professional basketball is not so easy to manipulate, and that Louie's success in New York was not due to the good Feng Shui in New York, but because of his talent.
The first time he was in charge of team affairs, this kind of thing really hit Dolan's confidence seriously. At the same time, it also allowed Baylor and Buford to take back some of the power that should belong to the management.
This is also the reason why the Knicks' decline has changed in recent years.
Little Dorrance thought about it, and gradually realized that it was Leader Lu who could really turn the team around.
That's why he asked Baylor to bring him with him, and personally went to Sunset Villa to lobby Louis. Louis knew their purpose, but still arranged for them to have dinner at home.
At the dinner table, Louis said straight to the point: "Elkin, you should know that I really need to take a good rest now, right?"
At this time, Little Dolan took over the words: "Coach Lu, we fully understand your needs, please rest assured, our purpose of coming here is different from other teams."
This surprised Louis a little.
Could it be that these two people really came here for dinner? Can't it?
Baylor cut to the chase and said, "Louie, we don't want you as a coach and we don't want you as a general manager and president."
Louis asked with a smile, "Then what should I do?"
Dolan Jr. said: "Special advisor! You don't need to come to New York to work, or even show up on the team at all, just to provide your professional advice as we make key decisions."
Louis asked again, "How is the treatment?"
Baylor glanced at the prodigal son, which means, you are the biggest, you say it.
Little Dolan knew that Louie's worth as a coach was more than twice the maximum salary of a general coach, but how much should the special consultant pay?
Just like everyone who is eager for Louis to come out to help his team, Jr. Dolan remembered the saying that with Louis, you have a dynasty.
Even if Louis is not on the front line and is not the decision maker of the management, his suggestions are worth a thousand dollars. With his assistance behind the scenes, the revival of the Knicks dynasty is no longer empty talk.
Little Dolan took a deep breath and said, "8 million dollars a year, what do you think?"
aha? Baylor felt that either this prodigal son was crazy, or he was deaf. How much money is not considered money to give a special consultant an annual salary of 8 million US dollars?
You really have a mine, right?
Not to mention, although James Dolan has the beauty of an underdeveloped cerebellum when viewed horizontally and vertically, even if he is a brain-damaged Tianzi No. 1, as long as he is rich enough, he will be pleasing to the eye.
Louie wanted to agree, because the special counsel is really a lucrative job, but he couldn't live up to the love of Los Angeles.
When Louis left, the Lakers also proposed a plan to stay with the team as a special consultant. Although the offer was not as high as Dolan Jr., if Louis wanted to counter the offer, he could still get this amount.
In the end he refused.
Louis accepted Little Dolan's offer with a smile, arranged for them to have a sumptuous lunch, and happily sent them away.
Until he walked out of Sunset Villa, Little Dolan didn't know whether he had moved Louis. "Elgin, what do you mean by Coach Lu?"
Baylor sipped another meaning of Louie's move: "He was happy with our offer, but for some reason he couldn't take the job. Simply put, we failed."
"It failed?" Little Dolan couldn't believe that someone could refuse such a generous offer.
After returning home, Little Dolan thought about it for days and nights but couldn't figure out why Louis refused. The prodigal son, who was troubled by this, reviewed the best movie in history in his mind - "The Godfather".
That immortal classic line hit Little Dolan's brain. "I can make him an offer he cannot refuse."
Yes, this is the truth! So easy to get out!
Small
Dolan called Louis drowsily, raising the annual salary of the special consultant to 10 million, and if the Knicks can win the championship, there will be a lot of bonuses.
Louis really thought this prodigal son was crazy at the time.
If your father has money, he can't spend 10 million to raise an idler who doesn't come to work and only talks, right?
"Coach Lu, Qiu Lijiao, I must revive the Knicks. Only in this way will the **** media stop calling me trash every day!"
Louis felt that the media said it very well, it was an appropriate description. "Mr. Dolan, let's talk again when you are sober."
Louis doesn't mind lying down and earning money. If Little Dolan is really so crazy and wants to spend money on his mouthpiece (suggestion), he will accept it.
However, this needs to be done in secret.
For example, even if things are exposed in the future, Louis can only be Dolan's special consultant in business, not the Knicks' special consultant.
If someone asks why Dolan Jr. pays a special consultant who is rarely used a few times a year with an annual salary of tens of millions, then it is easy to explain, because his cerebellum is underdeveloped.
The next day, Little Dolan called again. This time, he was much more rational, but there was one thing, that is, his desire to pursue Louis did not decrease at all, but became stronger and stronger.
For this matter, little Dolan entangled from the middle of the month to the end of the month. Louie finally let go.
Dolan Jr. and Louie reached a one-year, $10 million deal plus bonuses.
Louis, as Dolan Jr.'s special consultant in business, the two sides only communicate remotely by phone, and, during the season, if the Knicks have no major transactions or major internal changes, no calls are allowed.
Moreover, Louis is not responsible for the Knicks' results.
Then Dolan Jr. asked his first question. Is it the best solution to renew the contract with Ewing this summer?
"Of course not," Louis said, "Patrick is old. The Knicks can't win anything by relying on him. He has reached the time of retirement. In fact, only Patrick retired, Benj There is a possibility of returning to New York, and depending on what happened over the summer, New York may have missed the opportunity to get both Benj and Shaq in free agency."
Little Dolan was furious when he heard the words: "I just said that Elgin Baylor is an idiot! He is the one who advocates keeping Patrick Ewing!"
"He's not stupid." Louis laughed. "He just can't bear the consequences of forcing Patrick to retire. Mr. Dolan, the one who should really do this is you."
Little Dolan said angrily: "Next summer, I will never renew the contract with Patrick Ewing!" "Wrong again."
Why did you make a mistake again?
Little Dolan felt that everything he did was wrong. "Please advise." Little Dolan could only ask respectfully.
Louis said: "Since mistakes have been made, we can't make mistakes again and again, but make mistakes again and again. Next year's free market will not be as grand as this year's. Reap enough rewards. So, what you should do is let Patrick play the last few years with satisfaction~www.mtlnovel.com~ Let him retire with glory, so that players in the league can know that the Knicks are a team A humane team, which will be of great help to your future signings.”
After hearing this, Xiao Dolan was completely convinced that expensive things really only have one drawback, that is, they are expensive! "Coach, what you said made me suddenly understand, that idiot Elgin can only speak nonsense that I don't understand!"
"Mr. Dolan, Elgin is a meritorious service to the team, you have to give him more respect." "Understood..."
"Also, Mr. Dolan, don't call me if you don't have anything important in the future. The special counsel also needs to live."
"Understood...Understood..."
Louie may be earning the easiest $10 million in modern finance, but he feels no guilt because James Dolan's cerebellum apparently grew out of a conversation with him, which made him I feel so great.
