The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 593 Louie\'s "good friend"

The Alvin Robertson trade was the first earthquake of the offseason.

Due to being in a weak team, Robertson's strength was underestimated by many people.

In Louie's eyes, he is the best defensive guard in the league.

Since entering the league in 1984, he was selected to the All-Defensive Team for three seasons, and was selected to the second team in 1986. He has won 2 steals, 4 All-Stars, and a stable all-around lock with an average of 17+6+6+3 steals per game.

He's still at his peak.

This is the most incomprehensible transaction for Louis.

Should the Spurs keep Robertson if they want to stay productive?

However, this person is healthy and healthy, and the Spurs, with his right to match, sent Robertson to Utah in a sign-and-trade approach.

What did the Jazz pay for getting the best defensive guard in the league?

Just Vinier Johnson and Antawn Kyle and first-round picks in 1989 and 1991.

While those two picks don't have any protection set up, they're also of limited value.

The Jazz are in the top four in the Western Conference this season. With the maturity of Malone and Matt Price and the addition of Robertson, Price's defensive problems no longer exist.

Now they are not only the top four levels in the Western Conference, but also one of the challengers who can compete with the Blazers for the Finals seat.

Louie couldn't understand and was shocked.

For this reason, he called his friends in San Antonio to find out the inside story.

The result shocked him even more.

To save money, to save money, and to save money.

Robertson's contract has expired, and he is one of the top defenders in the league. Isn't it too much to ask for a million dollar contract?

Spurs: Too much.

Also, Robertson may be a strong player, but he's an absolute scum off the court. The problems of domestic violence, speeding, illegal possession of guns, and possession of drugs are endless. The Spurs have had enough of him, and he is too expensive and can only be sent away.

Louis can only say that sending Robertson away is an acceptable decision, but the core reason is to save money, which is a bit rough.

Robertson is also a wonderful flower.

He readily agreed to the signing, and when he was asked the reason, his answer aroused the rage of feminist activists: "Because I heard that Utah supports polygamy, I think it is a man's paradise, and I can't wait to get married." Went there to play."

For the sake of eating melons, Louis understood.

A weird team traded the most weird player in the team.

Looking at it this way, it can't be said to be difficult to understand, right?

It's so normal, as long as you don't look at them through the eyes of normal people, it feels like normal.

Louis felt more and more that saving one's character might be a real divine law.

How many brain-dead owners and management did the Spurs go through to get Popovich and Duncan?

It's as if the Warriors made more than 30 years of evil before they selected Curry.

A day later, the Knicks clarified their goals in the draft.

There are mainly two.

Dan Marley and Ronnie Sekaly.

Marley is a player who sounds familiar to Louis and whose style of play is very suitable for the Knicks.

Sekali is the candidate recommended by Zhao Yuanzheng. After watching his college game video, Louis felt that he was a bit like Lopez. Anyway, they just want to find another substitute for Ewing, so even if this draft pick is wasted, it doesn't matter.

Seikali therefore entered the Knicks' draft list.

There are two biggest problems. The Knicks' draft picks are too high.

Secali has only a lottery edge.

He may or may not be a lottery pick, depending on the needs of the team.

Marly is a mid-first-round move.

If given the chance, Louie would choose to trade down to maximize the value of the pick.

On June 26, Louis almost forgot when Krause pursued the Heat's first-round pick.

Lewis Shafier's call went to the Blue Palace.

"Hey, which one, please speak up if you have something to say."

Louie is in the office watching Stakeout (1987), a funny comedy, and best of all, Madeleine Stowe pushes her limits in this movie She's Off! Louis got the disc of this movie after hearing about it, and was about to enjoy it in the office when the phone call came.

Caller: Lewis Shaffir.

"Coach Lu, I have brought 'good news'." Shafier's words were intended to let Louis understand that his call did not come for no reason.

Louis had to stop his viewing.

"Chicago or New Jersey?"

"Chicago."

"Oh? What kind of chips did my good friend Jerry 'Breadcrumb' Cross have?"

"Coach Lu, are you sure you want to bid? I mean, I can't just tell you the offers from other teams unless you are sure you want to"

"If I don't want to bid, why do I understand Chicago's offer? Lewis, don't test my patience, just tell me. I'm very curious about what chips my good friend Klaus gave you."

"Well"

Shafier felt a little guilty.

He said: "He decided to send Joe Barry Carroll in exchange for our ninth pick in the first round."

Trade a near-All-Star center past his prime for the ninth pick?

Strictly speaking, the Bulls still suffer.

But it can also be seen how much Klaus hates Carol.

"Coach Lu, do you want to bid?"

"Of course, my good friends are all like this, I will definitely help the situation." Louis thought for a few seconds, and the plan flashed by, "Lewis, I am willing to exchange your seventh pick in the first round for your ninth pick in the first round bit."

Shafier thought for a while in silence.

"Coach Lu, I don't see the necessity of this trade." Shafier said, "This year's draft class is not deep enough. Even the seventh pick is not much better than the ninth pick. In any case, the probability of picking the bubble Both are big”

"So you think taking the ninth pick for Joe Barry Carroll was the right decision?"

Shafier lacked confidence, but he wanted to fight for more interests.

"Jobari is a guaranteed center, and the seventh pick is not guaranteed."

"A guaranteed center forward? Why do you see it?"

"He still averaged 16 points last season."

"Need I remind you that his shooting percentage is only 45%?" Louie asked anxiously, "Do I need to tell you that as a center, Joe Barry averaged only 5 rebounds per game? Do you think he is a guaranteed center? What is the basis? 1962 was a far worse draft year than this year, but the Celtics selected John Havlicek with the seventh pick in the first round, and the Syracuse Nationals selected John Havlicek with the 12th pick in the first round. Picked Chet Walker (), both of them later changed the future of the team. Mr. Shafier, the depth of the draft class has nothing to do with the draft result, only people can determine the result."

How could Shafier not know the truths that Louis said.

He just wanted to take advantage of it, but he didn't expect Louis' long speech to make him feel ashamed.

"Coach Lu, you are right. Joe Barry is really not a good player. He is lazy and doesn't care about the outcome. I don't like him. But, even if we get the seventh pick, we still have a fairly high probability of picking a long-term pick. Not as good as Joe Barry's players."

"Listen, Lewis, you don't need Joe Barry. You need the seventh pick. If you have questions, I can help you. You can consult me ​​on the phone about your selection in the draft. This is Louie's ultimate move, "Although I can't guarantee that I will pick the best player, since I entered the industry, I haven't seen parallel imports among the players I fancy. If you are willing to believe me, I will Seriously, I'm sure the 'Little' record won't be broken in Miami."

Shafier was very excited, and he agreed with Louis' proposal.

But Louie had one condition.

He asked Shafier to do what he wanted no matter what, otherwise the conversation just now did not exist.

Shafier, who had already been tied to the thief ship, could not refuse Louis.

Louis has two conditions.

One of the conditions is that no matter what chips Klaus gives later, he cannot be shaken. As a test of the initial cooperation, the agreement reached by the two parties will not be notified to the alliance for the time being.

Secondly, this is what Louie strongly requested.

Because Louie and Klaus "are as deep as the sea", he hopes that Shafier will tell Klaus that they have decided to send the ninth pick to New York. And, in particular, New York did this deal because the Bulls wanted to do it.

"What if I don't do it, or break the contract?" Shafier asked.

Louis smiled and said, "Then I will have my third 'good friend' from today."

Making an enemy of Louis was the last thing Shafier wanted, and he readily agreed.

So wait for Shafier's call to the Bulls' office.

Jerry Krause happily thought they had a deal.

"Sorry, Jerry, I can't close the deal with you guys."

Klaus's heart tightened, "Why? Don't you have enough chips? This matter can actually be discussed."

"No, we've reached an agreement with New York."

"What?!" Klaus yelled.

Klaus stood up, the fat on his face burst out with blue tendons, "What did you say?!!"

"Coach Lu from New York New York heard that you wanted the ninth pick~www.mtlnovel.com~ and joined in. He said he was your 'good friend' and for the sake of 'loyalty' between you, he had to be there A seat in the deal and he made an offer I couldn't refuse. Sorry, Jerry, that's the end of the negotiation."

"Wait! I can increase the price! I can increase the price again!" Klaus yelled, pulling his neck.

"Goodbye, Jerry."

Shafier hung up the phone.

In the Bulls' general manager's office, Klaus exploded in a thunderous rage, throwing everything on his desk to the ground.

"Little Dew!!!"

He cursed Louis with the crudest words in the English language.

Sadly, the only thing he can do is this.

⑴ If you want to explain in detail how the warriors before 09 committed crimes, it would take a whole chapter, so forget it.
