The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 462: Lakers swipe

Louie found that his opponents were especially prone to insanity.

First, Jerry West took Wilkins + 4 to take the Knicks' junk contract in the first round and then replaced Wilson. Now, Krause asked Baylor to raise the price maliciously and reported the first like crazy. The sixth pick in the round + the thirteenth pick in the first round + Sam Vincent (samvincentpg) in exchange for the fifth pick in the first round of the New Jersey Nets.

In fact, this price may not be sweeter than the Knicks' seventh pick in the first round, the eighth pick in the first round, and Lukai's second round.

However, Harry Weltman and Louis have a so-called "personal grudge", and as long as Claus is sincere enough, Weltman will fulfill the bull.

Now that Krause has his trump card out there, Weltman is naturally happy to make a deal with the Bulls. It can be beneficial, and it can make the Knicks disappointed, and he will be happy to the climax just thinking about Louie's disappointment.

Hearing about the trade between the Bulls and the Nets, Louie asked with a smile, "Are they serious?"

Baylor nodded affirmatively: "Really!"

"Very good!" Louie picked up the pen on the desk and turned it happily. "Did Jerry call you?"

"Yes, we are progressing very quickly. Once the trading channel is opened, the deal can be made, and he still..." Baylor didn't know whether to let Louis know about this.

Louis asked, "What else does he have?"

"He also asked me about Scottie Pippen," Baylor said truthfully. "He seems to be interested in Scotty."

"This...it's interesting." Louie is wondering which team with the top four picks will rush out to intercept the Hu Bulls. Shouldn't the Lakers succeed?

If the deal between the Knicks and the Lakers is established, and the Lakers deal with Wilkins' contract according to the plan provided by Louis, the future of the Lakers is still terrible.

With the Magicians, they could ensure their competitiveness in the late '80s, and they would be just as strong in the '90s if they took down Pippen and completed Louie's plan.

June 22, 1987, draft day.

This year's draft was held at the hulutheater (how to translate?) in Madison Gardens.

Before the draft, the trades continued.

The Kings first used Ed Pinckney + this year's second-round pick to the Suns in exchange for Eddie Johnson.

Then, the Pistons traded William Bedford (williambedfordc) from the Suns for a first-round 22nd overall pick.

The biggest highlight was between the Knicks and the Lakers.

"It was definitely an earthquake."

CBS commentator Brent Musberg said after learning of the deal.

The Knicks sent Artis Gilmour, Tyrone Corbin, Dell Curry, the eighth overall pick in the 1987 first round to the Lakers in exchange for Michael Cooper.

Cooper has played for the Lakers since 1978, and he joined the team before Magic.

Today, he is also one of the only three remaining members of the Lakers' two championships in the early 1980s.

To Lakers fans, Cooper is like their Jones, but Cooper is more talented and more reliable offense.

Played for the Lakers for nine seasons, and only missed seven games in the remaining eight seasons except for the injury-ridden rookie season.

In this long eight seasons, he only started 56 games, and the rest of the games were played off the bench.

He was named to the All-Defensive Team for seven consecutive seasons starting in 1980.

Last season, he was selected for the first defense with a very clear advantage.

Although he is 31 years old, he still has a waterproof standard.

The Knicks got him and dealt with Gilmour's contract for two young players and the No. 8 pick.

This seems to everyone, like a signal.

To eat Gilmour's contract means that the Lakers no longer intend to renew Kareem at a high price.

Because Gilmour and the Knicks' two young players' contracts are enough to fill the Lakers' existing cap space unless they think otherwise.

Trading Cooper is a clear signal in itself.

They are going to break through, give up the confrontation with the Celtic dynasty, and rebuild again.

In this deal, Corbin, not Curry, is what Lou is most reluctant to give up. Curry is not accustomed to the system, and the rookie season is too short. If it goes on like this, it will not be good for his development, and he will be emotional, so he trades.

Corbin was in the Knicks' eight-man rotation last season and was one of the original five-man squad for the Murder Press.

During the season, Wilson and Ewing proved that they could get into the Murder Press with the Rodmans, so a player like Corbin who was very useful, but was replaced by a better player, was very well positioned. complex.

Lewis thought about it, but did not reduce his playing time and stabilized his team status.

He established his worth in the Eastern Conference finals, once again proving that the Spurs have no eyeballs, and sent two warmth to the Knicks in vain.

As for the No. 8 pick, Louie doesn't feel bad about it. Originally asking the Lakers to let Cooper out was just cutting their flesh. West wouldn't let go if he didn't give him a top draft pick.

And, remember, in 1987, the No. 8 pick was not a lottery pick.

Don't forget, there are only seven teams in the lottery, and the modern concept of a top-13 lottery pick doesn't apply this year. Only the top seven picks are the lottery, and the eighth pick is like a future fourteenth pick, and it's close to the lottery threshold but not lottery 1.

The Lakers didn't stop their operations.

After the deal with the Knicks ended, the second trade also came out.

They sent Abdul-Jabbar's bodyguard, Kurt Rambis.

Rambis was sent to the Seattle SuperSonics for their ninth pick in the first round.

As a result, the Lakers have the eighth and ninth picks in this draft.

If the operation is good, it is not that there is no chance to select a star player.

Just as the Lakers were all over the screen, the 1987 draft began with David Stern's opening speech.

First, Stern announced that the NBA will expand to four teams in the next two years.

Charlotte Spirit 2 and the Miami Heat will enter the league next year, and the Minnesota Timberwolves and Orlando Magic will enter the league the year after.

No one is optimistic about this greedy expansion.

So Stern got booed and then loudly announced the No. 1 pick for the Spurs.

"San Antonio selected... David Robinson with the No. 1 pick in the first round! From the US Naval Academy!"

Picking Robinson was a no-brainer decision for the Spurs, but it was also a risky decision.

Because Robinson, although selected, wanted to serve in the Navy for two years.

In two years, he will be in an amateur state, and although he will still play, how does amateur competition and training compare to professional basketball?

Moreover, the Spurs have two unprotected first-round picks in the Knicks' hands.

If Robinson does not return, or is injured accidentally, these two draft picks are likely to become high-level draft picks to make the New Yorkers feel great.

And in theory, as long as Robinson doesn't sign with the Spurs or participate in professional leagues in other countries, he can choose to participate in the draft again in the next two years.

There is no rule that teams lock up players when they pick a player in the draft.

Because the players union does not recognize that the team has this power, once the two sides fight a lawsuit, the union will most likely win.

Therefore, choosing Robinson may be a big gamble for the Spurs.

Then, with the Warriors with the No. 2 overall pick, Jerry McMahon claims to have the potential talent that Louie sees in the bag.

If he really chooses Reggie Miller with the second overall pick, Louie will resign and pay a higher price to trade Miller's signing rights.

McMahon's vision, Louie understands.

At that moment, Louis held his breath.

"As long as it doesn't start with the letter R, everything is easy to talk about!" Louis was almost out of breath.

"The 1987 NBA Draft," Stern read with a smile, "Golden State selected with the second overall pick in the first round..."

"Damn it!" Louie scolded, "what the **** are you selling!"

Baelor had never heard such vulgar language.

"Reggie Williams (reggiewilliamssf/sg) from Georgetown University!"

"Well read, Mr. President!" Louis can always change his face~www.novelmt.com~ No, it's a good choice, Jack! "

Baylor couldn't understand him: "What's so good? Reggie Williams is such a good player, I'll choose it for me."

Hearing his words, Louis smiled at Zhao Yuanzheng.

Zhao Yuanzheng joked: "Well, thank Jinzhou for ruling out a wrong answer for us."

"What do you two young guys know, I've seen countless players, I know who can be talented!" Baylor said feeling good about himself.

"I know Reggie is a good player, but we don't need him." Louis can now lie down and watch the play.

Baylor is very depressed, obviously he is the deputy general manager, he is the trade negotiator, he is the signing negotiation, he is the rookie inspector, and he is working as a deputy. Well, it's better for Louie to choose a show without telling him who to choose.

"Tell me, who are you going to choose?" Baylor was anxious.

Louis rolled his eyes at him: "What if you go to tip Jerry again?"

"What kind of tip? Last time was an accident, how could I know..." Baylor argued forcefully, "Besides, you don't want Scotty!"

Louie smiled faintly: "But I don't want to see Scotty taken by the Lakers either."

"It's all this time, and you're still hiding it from me. You're hurting my feelings too much." Baylor said resentfully.

"Okay, come here and I'll tell you secretly."

Louie asked Baylor to come over.

Then Louis teased him again: "Forget it, I don't want to tell you."

"Louis, I want to break up with you!!"

1 That is to say, after Jordan, of all the rookies the Bulls got, only Pi 2 was a lottery pick.

2 Hornets called the spirit before entering the league.
