The Rest, Only Noise

"Oh? Seriously?" Louie asked excitedly, who didn't want Wilkins at all. "I don't know what price we have to pay to get a superstar like Dominic?"

"Coach Lu, I said that this will be a deal that will benefit both of us. I will never ask for too much, so that you can't afford it or damage your combat power. I hate green as much as you do, I hope To see Boston fall."

The hatred in West's tone was undisguised.

No wonder he, who lost five times to the Celtics as a player, built a great team in the 1980s, and then lost five consecutive finals, including four consecutive losses to the Celtics.

He is not crazy until now, and there are no rumors of seeing a psychiatrist, which is enough to prove his big heart.

Louis asked, "Please tell me."

"Benjamin Wilson." West's words sounded like thunder in Louie's ear. "Coach Lu, I know Wilson is a future superstar, but he belongs to the future, and if you get Dominic, you can win the present."

Obviously, the Lakers have no confidence in the existing team.

Their only hope is to harvest another rising star to form another team of champions before the Magician is completely old.

So, West found the Knicks and made a very tempting deal.

"The salary doesn't match, right?" Louis asked with a smile.

"Yes, Coach Lu, I should have said that I am willing to do my part in order for you to overthrow the Celtics." West's next words were exciting, "For this reason, we Willing to take Artis Gilmour's contract."

In other words, one Wilkins, for Wilson + Gilmour.

Gilmour's annual salary reaches 800,000. Although he is a good backup center, 800,000 is too expensive. No matter how you look at it, it is a garbage contract.

The Lakers have done this to such an extent in order to make this deal, and sincerity has nothing to say.

West does have the guts and does what he says, and it's a deal that's good for both parties.

It can also be seen that he really hates the Celtics.

"Jerry, I must solemnly reject you." Louie's answer was beyond West's expectations, "I like your idea and see your sincerity. You may not believe it, but in my eyes, Domi Nick Wilkins is not comparable to Benj."

West finally got anxious: "Coach Lu, this is too arrogant! Dominic was selected into the second team last season and played back and forth with Larry in the finals, while Benjamin was just a rookie. He is far from being Nick's (nickname) opponent at this stage!"

"I agree with what you said, there is a gap in strength between the two at this stage, and you also admit that Benj's future is very good, so we have no disagreement on this point." Louie said, "Your starting point is very accurate - to defeat Kai The Celtics. That's what I want to do the most right now and I'm willing to pay anything for it, but not Benj, especially, to get Dominic Wilkins for it."

West asked incredulously: "Why?"

"If Nick can have a feud with Erwin, then he can have a feud with anyone, and I don't want to bring in a superstar in question." Louie didn't let West explain, "Jerry, I started in 1978. I've been in this circle since 2009. I've seen the beginning of Erwin. I've watched him struggle with the Lakers in those years, not just his failures, but his successes. I know what kind of player he is. "He's the most perfect leader in this league, and if Nick can't live with someone like that, then he can't live with any leader, he can only be a leader himself."

"And I, I don't want a leader named Dominic Wilkins on my team."

It is often the champion who beats the champion.

What breaks a team down has nothing to do with basketball.

At this stage, Wilkins is stronger than Wilson. With him, the Knicks can indeed take a big step closer to the championship, but Louis is not willing to destroy his vision for the future of the team.

Wilkins is like that, and Wilson has a very long-term future.

He wants West to know that his rejection of the deal has nothing to do with basketball.

"I see what you mean, Coach Lu." West seemed to be making a choice, and he didn't want to give up.

For this, he is willing to pay a higher price.

"Coach Lu, what if I raise our offer?"

"How can we improve?"

West gritted his teeth, as long as he can get Wilson, no matter what the price the Lakers pay, it will be worth it: "In addition to Dominic, we will also send this year's first round pick, as well as the first round pick in 1989, the first round pick in 1991 First-round pick and first-round pick in 1993."

The offer made Louis open his mouth.

"You just need to give us an additional young player." West said frantically. "You choose this young player."

This means that in order to get Wilson, the Lakers have to send Wilkins and four future unprotected first-round picks.

Louis couldn't help laughing. He was shocked by the pride of the LOGO man, and he was even more convinced of Benj's greatness.

What kind of person is the LOGO man? Seeing Kobe's extraordinaryness at a glance, he threatened the Warriors' management with his resignation not to trade Thompson for Love, and behind the scenes promoted the establishment of the Los Angeles aircraft carrier... Such a person is willing to spend all his money to replace a rookie, what does it mean?

This kind of bid has been completely reckless, almost insane.

Come to think of it, that's exactly West's style.

In 1996, he stole the Sharks from Orlando, who had given him a maximum salary of 80 million yuan, and then advised the Clippers and the Thunder to negotiate a record number of first-round picks to get Paul George as a consultant.

He's the kind of gambler who pushes out full-stack stud whenever he sees an opportunity.

But he knows that as long as the target is in hand, he can bet right.

This time, his opponent thinks differently than others.

"Thank you, Jerry." Louie laughed. "Your crazy chips helped me confirm Benj's future."

West asked weakly: "You still have to refuse?"

"Yeah, but I think there's room for negotiation between us about Artis Gilmour's contract." Louie asked like a profiteer, "Are you interested in negotiating another deal with me that will allow us to reciprocate A winning deal?"

West was naturally alert: "Tell me about it?"

"Before that, I want to confirm a news." Louis asked, "Will Karim retire early this summer?"

"Why do you say advance?"

"Uh..."

"Just tell me the answer directly."

"Unless someone offers him a seven-figure salary, he should retire."

Louis said with a smile: "So, do you objectively have room to eat Artis' contract?"

"No, because Dominic is still there." West still complained, "We can't eat Artis' contract."

"Don't worry, I can give you an idea for Dominic's contract. Let's talk about how you take Artis' contract now."

West listened to Louie's details.

At first, he didn't take it seriously. Gradually, the plan proposed by Louis moved his heart.

West was left speechless when he talked about how the Lakers handled Wilkins' contract and how they benefited in the process.

These two transactions, on the one hand, are good for the Knicks in the short term, and on the other hand, they are good for the Knicks and the Lakers in the long run.

If the Lakers really intend to stop competing with the Celtics and tear down the team and rebuild, this is a plan that cannot be rejected.

However, the Knicks will take advantage.

West remembered that his crazy trading plan was rejected by Louis, but now he has to agree to the trading plan offered by Louis?

After all, he had given a plan for what to do with Wilkins, which he very much agreed with. He's perfectly fine with Louie's advice but not talking to the Knicks about trading Gilmour.

However, even if the Knicks will take advantage, the Lakers will benefit a lot.

"Why should I promise you?" West asked.

"Because this is good for the Lakers." Louie pointed out with a smile, "You also said that you are willing to do your part to bring down Boston. If this sentence is true, I don't think you should miss it. This opportunity. You both get the Lakers to start rebuilding, and you build us up, and most importantly, you'll see the Celtics get anxious about that."

"To be honest, this transaction is not necessary for us, I just don't want to miss all opportunities to strengthen, if the Lakers are willing to complete us, we will do this transaction, if you are not willing, I will not Reluctantly." Louis said frankly, "We can work together next time."

Now, Jerry West knows why this young man with no roots in Boston was pushed to the head coach position by the old monster of Auerbach at the age of 23.

Also know why Auerbach regrets it after he leaves.

I even know why the New York Knicks, which were as lost as the "Beat Generation" after their glory in the early 1970s, rose rapidly within three years.

West doesn't know when Louie came up with these deals.

He could not have prepared in advance, because this transaction was a surprise attack from West.

That is to say, Louie judged that the Lakers were ready to rebuild based on the information provided by West, and in the process of negotiating with him, he thought of how to deal with Gilmour's contract and how to deal with Wilkins for the Lakers, Provided a program that made West very excited.

What's even more outrageous is that this matter, which seems to be only related to the Lakers, can still indirectly bring long-term benefits to the Knicks.

"Coach Lu, those who call you LittleLu because of your youth will be tricked into ruin by you sooner or later. You are not LittleLu, there is a cunning demon hidden in your young body." What does a demeaning compliment look like, "You should be called an imp."

"I like this title, please help me to promote it." Louie joked, and then turned the topic back, "Give me the final answer, Jerry."

West demanded: "You have to give me another pick."

"Impossible, Jerry," Louie said, "I've already sent two promising young players and a very valuable No. 8 pick for a 31-year-old veteran, and I can't give you any more. too much."

Nearly 20 seconds of silence.

"Okay, let's make a deal." A smile appeared on West's face. "Who made me hate the Celtics so much?"
