The Rest, Only Noise

The rest, only the noise, Chapter 1131 of the text volume. Once the news of Vlad Divac + first rotation Christian Lightner was announced, the public reaction it generated was intense.

Everyone wants to know, what is the Rockets doing?

If they think Laettner is bad, should they get a better player?

Divac is indeed an All-Star center, but only by chance, and Laettner's just-concluded junior season has shown All-Star potential.

Sending such a good young man away, in exchange for a player who was declared "not for sale" by leaderlu, what do you want?

This is simply the fan perspective.

They can only look at it from the perspective of whether the player is good or not and whether the deal is worth it.

The Rockets quickly announced after the signing that they would hire Rick Adelman as the team's new head coach.

The rest is a comment on Louis's series of operations.

"This summer we lost Scottie Pippen, Vlad Divac, Green, Cedric Ceballos ... but we got Kevin Garnett, Christian Wright Na, if Lou can be integrated into Los Angeles, we can expect him to be a solid force on the bench. In any case, the Lakers in the era of leaderlu have already come to us, whether we like it or not, that team belongs to the tragic division The Lakers are dead." - Sam Layton in the Los Angeles Daily News, July 4, 1995.

Excluding David Robinson, who was reimbursed for the new season, the Lakers' current roster includes Wilson, Ellis, Garnett, Liu Yuqing, Laettner, Finley, Slater, Big Fat Pig, Ostertag .

Except for rookies such as Garnett and Finley who need time to grow, only Laettner is a first-class player in the newly introduced players.

With such a lineup, the Lakers' goal in the new season should be the semifinals, and if they are lucky, they may be able to reach the Western Conference finals.

They're not in the same league as championship contenders like the Heat, Blazers, and Knicks.

The only reinforcement that can be expected in the follow-up is the comeback of the tragic division.

But Louis has not been able to make up his mind on his comeback, because he does not know his current state and whether he can integrate into the team smoothly.

Laettner started showing his loyalty as soon as he arrived in Los Angeles—his agent announced that he would be negotiating a contract extension with the Lakers.

The result was smooth, and Laettner didn't open his mouth like he did in the Rockets.

West quoted the number, the broker also made a bid, and the two sides had similar positioning of each other.

On July 6, the Lakers announced a five-year, $30 million extension to Laettner.

"I'm excited to be here with Los Angeles. Historically, they've been a winning team, and I hope I can get back my college feel here."

Everyone was gone, and Laettner didn't forget to disgust his former club.

After the two trades are done, it's hard for the Lakers to make other deals.

Because the people on the big roster have changed circles.

The salary space is also full, and in the future, only the middle-class exception and the basic salary exception can be used to sign people.

This is West's job, and Louis doesn't bother.

The Lakers stopped, but the other teams didn't.

After acquiring Scottie Pippen, the Knicks are still looking for reinforcements.

They signed veteran James Worthy, who wanted a last-ditch effort for the championship, to a minimum contract.

Barkley turned down an early extension from the Clippers.

Not because he hates the Clippers, but because he gives too little money.

At present, Barkley's annual salary is 7 million US dollars. The next contract is almost the last big contract of his career. If he wants to make a big one, he will offer 4 years and 60 million.

How could Donald Sterling, the iron rooster, accept this kind of asking price, and he rejected it on the spot.

At the same time, Brad Rohos, known as the vanilla gorilla, announced his return to New York on a minimum-salary contract.

The Blazers traded Jerome Curcy and a 1999 first-round pick to the Hornets for Rex Chapman and this year's first-round pick Jason Kaffey.

The Golden State Warriors experienced an earthquake-level personnel change.

Don Nelson, the head coach and president, voluntarily resigned due to the conflict with the top management.

Nelson's accomplishments with the Warriors were remarkable, not winning a championship, but building a top team in the league.

More young Uranus like Penny Hardaway.

The 'theblitzkrieg' system is like it was made for pennies.

However, the former owner of the Warriors chose to sell the team at a time when its market value was soaring.

The new owner likes Pence very much. He believes that the tactical position Nelson gave Pence is not big enough, and he wants to establish Pence as the core of the ball.

Nielsen vehemently opposed it, even threatening to resign.

For most owners, coaches can be changed, but good players are hard to find.

So he would rather let Nelson go and build the team according to his own mind.

It's not that Nelson doesn't want Penny as the core of the ball, but the foundation of the Warriors is the offensive firepower of the guards headed by Penny and Payton.

If a single core is established, it will have a major impact on the team system.

Bosses don't think about that.

After firing Nelson, the Penny-loving Warriors boss decided to show his love with action.

July 11

The Warriors announced a seven-year, $100 million extension to Penny Hardaway.

This news shocked the world in one fell swoop like the fat man and the little boy who were thrown into the island country 40 years ago.

Pence became the first millionaire in professional basketball history.

Hearing this, Louis dared to assert that "theblitzkrieg" was over.

Nelson is sacked, and "theblitzkrieg" can still run as long as his successor doesn't do anything superfluous.

However, this extension will destroy the chemistry within the Warriors.

Stars like Payton still have a one-year contract of 6 million yuan. Penny, who has just entered the league for two years, has actually become Mr. Billion Dollar?

It's so much like the $25 million over 20 years that Jerry Buss gave to Magic.

The difference is that although the tragic teacher at that time was envied by his teammates and despised by the media, he had actual achievements.

In the rookie season, he led the team to win the championship as the second master. In the sixth game of the finals, it was even more heavenly and won fmvp.

A championship is the most convincing thing.

This is what Pence lacks at the moment.

Moreover, even if he wins the championship, the tragic master who is elected to the fmvp will be excluded by his teammates.

Just imagine how Pence will face Payton?

How did he survive Peyton's broken mouth?

The Warriors have long anticipated this situation, and their approach is-"We sincerely wish Coach Nelson a smooth future. Pence will become the cornerstone of the team's future, and he is our only irreplaceable substitute."

"Does this mean that everyone but pennies are fungible?"

Will they step on such an obvious problem trap?

"Yes."

They really stepped on it!

This question and answer has the style of Louis' original "not for sale" remarks.

But whether they can get rid of disgruntled people as quickly as Louie can, depends on the new management's skill.

No matter how it develops, the Warriors' "theblitzkrieg" is unsustainable.

The foundation that Nelson had worked so hard to build for several years was torn down in an instant.

The initiator of all this is the new owner of the Warriors, remember his name - Chris Cohan.

He represents the greatest catastrophe in Warriors history.

In Louie's past life, it was his chaotic management that led to Chris Webber's absurd deal that ruined both parties' futures. A similar story happened with Joe Smith a few years later. Then, Sprewell locked his throat p.j. Carlesimo, the Warriors began to fall at the speed of light, and only made the playoffs once in 15 years~www.novelmt.com~ The Warriors in the Cohan era kept failing and failed their fans. His trust led him to achieve the boss's highest achievement in reverse, and was booed by his fans in front of the whole family during his home speech.

In 2010, Cohan sold the team and the Warriors escaped the biggest disaster in franchise history, and what happened in the next few years, you all know.

Warriors open Nelson, cool Louie.

What Louis is most worried about at the moment is that he does not have a useful chief assistant under his command.

The most suitable candidate was Zhao Yuanzheng, but he has decided to develop in the direction of management and only holds the title of assistant coach.

The rest of the assistants on the team, like Mike Boozerholden and Rick Carlisle, are long on the line, short on the board, lacking experience and prestige.

Nelson, who suddenly became a free man, was the best candidate in Louis's mind.

Nelson, who was heartbroken by Golden State, has no intention of coaching in the short term, and he does not want to be idle at home. Louie's invitation is just right for him.

When Louie said he wanted to build an offensive team, Nelson agreed without hesitation.

The Knicks, under Louis, made Nelson feel like there was nothing left to explore on defense.

The Knicks are the apex.

Nelson thought that Louis would continue to study the defense, but he didn't expect the opponent's ambition to be so great. After leading the trend of the league, he decisively abandoned the system created by himself and went against the trend.

The two hit it off.

On July 15, the Lakers announced that they had signed a three-year contract with Don Nelson, who would become the Lakers' chief assistant coach.
