The Rest, Only Noise

On June 18, a message from Boston made Louis turn his attention to his old club.

The Celtics announced the appointment of Dave Gavitt as vice president of basketball operations to assist Jane Walker in internal affairs.

No matter how the owners of this franchise change, no matter what the owner thinks about the team, what the relationship with Auerbach has been since Reed Auerbach jumped from the Washington Capitol to the Boston Celtics in 1950 , Celtic management personnel appointments have always been dominated by Auerbach.

Auerbach was the forerunner of the big parent management model in professional basketball, and he traded just one player during the Bill Russell era. He hopes that all Celtics players can stay and work for the team after retirement, so that the honorable tradition of the team will be passed on.

So when he ceded the general manager job to Jane Walker in 1984, everyone believed that the middle-aged white man would be Auerbach's successor.

Today, the Celtics have set up a vice president under Auerbach's power center, which gives him the power to surpass Volcker. At the same time, this is a professional sports that has nothing to do with Auerbach. The operator, unlike the managers of the Celtic generations, has a green blood. .

Because of Auerbach's illustrious resume, the Celtics may have had only 3 mediocre seasons from 1950 to 1988, and many times the entire league seemed to be immersed in the smoke of Auerbach's cigars. It also set an inaccessible standard for his successors.

Garrett was hired by the Celtics after the season, seemingly in a strong indication that the Celtics' top ranks were tired of Auerbach's rule. Boston media worried that such an approach would weaken Auerbach's authority within the Celtics and spark internal unrest. But Auerbach vehemently disagreed, at 72 years old and at a stage in his life he desperately needed someone like Garvet to carry on his business.

In Auerbach's original vision, Louis should be the role. It turned out that he was absolutely right about Louis, but things didn't end up going the way he envisioned.

Louis feels sorry for Jane Walker.

The arrival of Gavitt heralded the failure of his work, otherwise, relying solely on his two-threaded model with Auerbach, there was no need to add Gavitt, making the inner workings a complex three-threaded.

So who is this Garvet? Louie decided that he was not a marionette like Walker. Judging from his professional resume, he may be the most important "signature" in the history of the Celtics.

Before joining the Celtics, Garvet was widely regarded as one of the nation's most influential sports league managers—he was president of the NCAA Big East, one of the most competitive and lucrative leagues in college sports. . During his tenure, the Big East signed television contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars; at the same time, he was a member of the United States Olympic Committee, dedicated to promoting the participation of professional players in the United States.

Such a person has now become an executive under the Celtics and above everyone. It can be seen that the sky in Boston has indeed changed.

Louie called Walker to say hello.

It seems that his mood is still stable.

Volker is sober, and even with Garrett coming, the team's president, chairman, is still Auerbach. Gavitt is his subordinate, and Auerbach nods his every decision.

But the problem is that Garvet is not Volker. If his ideas conflict with Auerbach, it will inevitably affect the stability of the team.

Then, just thinking about Isaiah Thomas' recent moves, it's hard for Louie to have any expectations for the future of the Greens.

In this offseason, which must be a mess, the Lakers fired the first shot.

A week before the draft, the Lakers sent Kevin Johnson to the Phoenix Suns along with the poor Mark Aguirre in exchange for Fat Liver and Ed Pinckney and first-rounders for the next two years. pick.

From the point of view of the trade itself, the Lakers seem to have rushed too far.

Kj is a recognized core guard seedling. He averaged 20+4+5 per game as the sixth man in the Lakers last season. Give him enough playing time, and he will definitely bring surprises. But West wasn't up for grabs, selling off as quickly as he did with negative equity.

This shows the attitude of the Lakers, the status of the tragic master is supreme, and all those who delusionally challenge him can only be sent away.

The two players they got were slightly average.

Fat Liver was a good defender in the 1980s, but now it is the 1990s. Replacing KJ with him is a downgrade of Zhou Jie for Deng Chao in "Youth Boys".

As for Ed Pinckney, his peak years were all in the ncaa. In 1985, he led Villanova University to counterattack the booming Georgetown University, leaving Mr. You with a regrettable ending, but after entering the NBA, the development of But not as expected.

Seeing the transaction of the sun, Louis only felt that the world was unpredictable, and kj went around and went to Phoenix.

The funniest thing is that KJ was originally selected by the Lakers in the draft that year. Then, for the fourth overall pick that year, the Lakers bundled KJ's signing rights with other chips to the Suns in exchange for Scottie Pippen's signing rights.

But it didn't take long for the Suns to get sick and they traded kj for Dell Curry from the Lakers.

Unexpectedly, kj went in and out, and returned to the sun.

The most incomprehensible thing for Louis is that the sun doesn't need kj at all.

They already have Rod Strickland, what do they need kj for? Afraid that Strickland's life will be too stable, will you charge more fights for the ball?

In the Lakers, kj even dared to grab the ball with the tragic division. What kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp is Strickland, can he put it in his eyes?

Just as Louie's mood was getting stronger and stronger, the owner and manager of the Suns called the Blue Palace.

The person in the play turned out to be me?

"Hey Jerry, what brought your phone to me?" Louie asked with a smile.

The person who called was one of the owners of the Suns and the person in charge of the operation of the Suns - Jerry Colangelo (jerry).

Colangelo started his professional basketball career with the Chicago Bulls in 1966. He has served as marketing director, scout and assistant to the team president. In 1968, he left the Bulls and was hired as the first general manager in team history by the then expansion team, the Phoenix Suns. He was the youngest general manager in professional sports.

It can be said that he is a legend in this industry. He has become the team owner from the general manager, and still controls the operation of the team, and really makes the Suns complete a gorgeous turn. It must be said that he is capable.

"Coach Lu, of course I'm calling to discuss a deal with you."

Colangelo doesn't speak fast.

"I think this transaction is beneficial to both of you and me."

"My favorite is a deal that benefits both sides." Louis doesn't believe there are so many win-win deals. "Please tell me more about it."

Colangelo immediately said: "Coach Lu, I want to trade Rod Strickland for your first-round pick—after you trade the first-round pick with the Bulls, of course."

"Oh?"

Louie wanted to hang up, but that would be rude.

Strickland is a good defender in a weak team, but, the Knicks are a strong team, not only a strong team, but also a division of the king for the purpose of winning the championship.

They don't need second-hospital guards who can only hold the ball blind and chaotic to raise the coach's blood pressure.

"Jerry, thanks for calling, but I'm not interested."

"Coach Lu, I don't think you have any reason to refuse." Colangelo said bluntly, "Rhod's value is much higher than your picks, and this year's draft picks are no better than before, even you have to Admit that this year's freshman class is seriously lacking in potential. Do you really think you can pick a better player than Rhodes with the eighth pick in the first round?"

Since he insisted on speaking, Louis might as well speak up.

"Jerry, let me put it this way - I have John Stockton, benj, Reggie Williams, why do I want a Rod Stricker who doesn't have anything to do with the Knicks' game philosophy? What about Lan? Just because he's a New Yorker? Maybe you think it's good for us, but unfortunately, I don't."

"To answer your question again, can I use the eighth pick in the first round of this year to select a good player?" Louie laughed, "Jerry, you should review my resume carefully."

Colangelo's reasoning for the deal with Luis is unmistakably clear.

However, Louie doesn't feel that this year's draft has no attractive players, as he thinks.

"Even if you can pick useful players~www.novelmt.com~ but do you have enough soil to help him grow?"

"That's not your concern, and good luck, Jerry."

Louie didn't make the words too harsh, and it was understandable that Colangelo wanted to make a deal with him. Because, although Louie said a few loud names just now, there was only one point guard in Stockton among those names.

Both Wilson and Williams are skilled enough to play point guard wings, but that doesn't mean they're really point guards.

Hornacek is destined to leave the team, whether Ainge will return is unknown, and the Knicks' reinforcement plan this year is also clear.

They need a backup point guard and a center to fill Bowie's role.

Just when Louis repeatedly checked the scouting reports submitted by Zhao Yuanzheng and carefully studied the game videos of these people, his good friend Lewis Shafir, who was nicknamed the Godfather of Miami, called.
