Chapter 632 Shabby

Looking at the king's book lineup, as Louis expected, none of them are eye-catching.

The only good players may be Jordan's North Carolina teammate Kenny Smith and the Knicks' backcourt sharpshooter Jose Hawkins, and the rest of the players, Louis doesn't like any of them.

Bill Russell said very freely: "You can choose whoever you want, as long as you can make a deal, we don't have anything not for sale."

Louis couldn't help laughing: "Bill, although I don't have high demands, I'm not a junkie either. Are you trying to get rid of me with these players?"

Seeing that a good deal was going to be ruined because they didn't have a good bargaining chip, Russell immediately said: You can talk about anything you want! "

Louie didn't rush the idea of ​​selling John Saley.

Since Sely wasn't a bomb yet, he didn't show any signs of going off.

So even if Russell took the initiative to call, he didn't really want to trade.

Among other things, Salley played a role in the murder press that few Knicks could fill.

After getting past the Celtics, Bird and Thomas have both suffered from injuries, and the young Knicks will rise to a higher level every year.

This will ebb and flow, and it may not be a few years before the Celtics are no match for the Knicks at all. So the murder press doesn't need to be as flawless as it used to be, nor does it need to be as directed.

Over time, no team will need the Knicks to exclusively use the murder press to run the Raiders.

The murder press becomes a bottom-of-the-box tactic.

Just like when Shan Wang beat Xiangbei, he deliberately used a full-court press at the beginning of the second half to almost blow up Xiangbei.

Since there is no need for such a perfect murder press, then, a player like John Sely who obviously has more value should let him go to a team that can play the ball.

If he can become a member of the world, Louis will never get stuck.

It's really that the Kings can't give any good bargaining chips. Even if Russell wants to add future draft picks, Louis can't be tempted.

To put it bluntly, since the Kings didn't have a player that Louis liked, John Sely became not for sale.

Salley didn't make a deal, and Russell set his sights on Hornacek, Rodman, and Marley.

Needless to say, Russell has a good vision, and he looks at all future All-Stars.

"Bill, let me just say it, don't even think about anyone but Ronnie Sekali."

Louis opened his mouth.

"Ronnie Sekali?"

Sekali is still just a rookie, and he can only play garbage time in the Knicks. Although his efficiency is good, if his playing time increases, no one can say what he will do.

"Oh, Lu, aren't we friends?"

Here we go... don't guys from Boston like to play the favor card when they talk about business?

"Yeah, because we're friends, so if you give me Jose Hawkins, I can give you Ronnie. And, I only accept a one-for-one exchange between the two."

"goodbye!"

Russell hung up the phone without saying anything.

He was disappointed and helpless, and felt that the business of professional basketball was not as simple as he thought.

Russell may be the best player in basketball history to know how to win games.

In terms of basketball talent and immediate combat ability, he can't compare with Chamberlain. But Chamberlain only beat him once in his life—and, Russell’s teammates were selected to 27 All-Stars, and Chamberlain’s teammates were selected to 25 All-Stars/Don’t say anything about Russell’s teammates. What a difference—but he just won Chamberlain all his life.

Because he wants to win and knows how to win.

Throughout his career, he opened the door to victory. But after retiring, when he wanted to copy the successful experience of the player era to the management, all he got was failure.

In the 1970s, he was the coach of the Seattle SuperSonics. In order to establish authority, when he trained in the team, he let those players who did not obey discipline try to break through his defense one-on-one. Hard to educate. As a result, instead of helping him manage the team, it made the players feel alienated from him.

He quickly became disillusioned with the rapid development of professional basketball and believed that his philosophy of success was only suitable for the 1960s.

Now that it's the 80's and he's back, is it any different?

Louis did not make a deal with him, not entirely because the player was unattractive, but also because Russell did not use draft picks to increase his bargaining chips.

Like Auerbach, he regards draft picks as treasures.

The deal with the king failed to complete, and Louis asked Zhao Yuanzheng to find Oakley.

Although they failed to make a deal with the King, the call was a reminder to Louie.

Why keep Oakley until the end of the season? Now is the time when his trade value is at its greatest.

Zhao Yuanzheng called Oakley.

Louis chatted with him a few words about the transaction.

"Coach, are you going to trade me?"

"No, I haven't discussed trading you with any team. I just want to ask you, if there is a suitable team that wants you and the chips they offer are suitable. Do you want to leave?"

Finishing this season is a pre-season agreement between Louie and Oakley.

If you want to break this agreement, Louie must obtain Oakley's consent.

Of course, he has the initiative to break the contract, but he is a man of faith, especially the verbal agreement with Oakley.

Because he didn't want to give the other party the impression of dishonesty.

Is it worth it to ruin his glorious image for an Oakley? of course not.

After thinking carefully, Oakley said: "Coach, if you think it's appropriate, just trade."

Those words showed how much Oakley wanted to play longer.

The Knicks' power forward position is seriously involved, and Louis often plays double towers. Sometimes Rodman plays the 4th position more than Oakley.

For a blue-collar power forward in his prime, this kind of life is indeed suffering.

"I see, I will let you know if there is any news."

After Oakley left, Zhao Yuanzheng asked, "Coach, is there a deal?"

"Not sure yet."

Louis walked out of the president's office and went straight to the general manager's office—although the former name of the office was changed~www.mtlnovel.com~, the location of the office was not changed, and the only thing that changed was the sign at the entrance of the office.

The current general manager of the Knicks is Elgin Baylor. Although he is the head of the operations department in name, he will not make any transactions without Louie's approval.

At this year's trade deadline, he was going to go without a shot like he did last year. As a result, Louis appeared.

"Is there any news on the trading market?"

"There's a lot of news." Baylor, who has nothing to do, can only listen to the team's trade rumors. "Russell is not doing well in Sacramento. I heard that he is trying to find a way to make a big deal. .”

"I know about it, and I was the one who negotiated the deal with him."

"No?"

"Don't worry, we didn't make a deal. The king's chips are too shabby."

"I said yes." Baylor only wished he hadn't personally rejected Russell, "With their little chips, even I can't change them, and they still want to make big moves, how funny!"

ps: I can't find an excuse for the lack of words. Um…
