The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 778: Lying back negotiation reappears

LATEST WEBSITE: Neither of those are close enough to compare to Thomas, but this year is 1991, not 1981.

Thomas is also 30 years old. In Louis's impression, the Smiling Assassin is the kind of person who can't maintain a high level and retire.

Regarding the Pistons in previous lives, Louie remembers them welcoming Grant Hill in the first half of the '90s.

Hill has never been teammates with Thomas.

Although he didn't know Hill that well, in this life, he realized that Hill would choose to complete four years of college before running for election, which would mean that he wouldn't enter the league until 1994. That is to say, Thomas's retirement time was before 1994, and the Pistons with Thomas could not be rotten, so the other side's retirement time may be between 1992 and 1993.

Louie isn't sure what happened to Thomas, but it's been a few years since the opposing team could play. .

"If you get Isiah, the Heat will be the Knicks' biggest rival in the East. But that's it, nothing will change, and Isiah is very old, you have to think about it."

Louis did not tell Shafir whether to trade or not, explained the pros and cons, and let him make his own decision.

Picking Thomas could take the Heat a step further in the short term, but not a good option in the long term.

"I see, Coach Lu, keep in touch."

Hearing his tone, Louie thought Thomas was going to Miami.

As a result, the Celtics gave him a super super, big big surprise.

June 24

The Boston Celtics traded Isaiah Thomas to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Chris Jackson, the third overall pick in 1990 and the fifth overall pick in 1991.

"It's the most important decade of my life, I've won a lot here and I swear I've given my best."

Thomas was traded, representing the end of an era.

Since 1981, that era has spent five head coaches, Bill Fitch, Louie, Jones, Jimmy Rogers and Chris Ford, allowing the Celtics to win 4 championships in 10 years.

Without Thomas, there would be no Celtics' four-peat.

Louis was so sure of it.

Thomas' teammates also sent their best wishes for his departure.

Bird, Sampson, Laimbeer, John Long, they all want Thomas to be happy in Charlotte.

Celtics fans were delighted to discover that Chris Jackson might have a chance to surprise Thomas even more after sending off what they saw as selfishness.

He was acclimatized in Charlotte, averaging just 12 points per game in his rookie season on 39 percent shooting.

But he may be the best shooting point guard in Celtics history, but it takes not just the right team, but a forward-thinking head coach to reach his potential.

If not, Jackson won't shine anywhere.

So this trade, for the Celtics, is actually the fifth pick in the first round.

It was their first lottery pick since 1981. In the post-Big Three era, whether they can seize Sampson's peak and hit the championship before Bird retires will depend on who gets this pick.

After days of workouts, the Knicks first locked Dale Davis of Clemson University with the 13th overall pick from the Spurs.

He was supposed to go to Indiana with Antonio Davis.

Unfortunately, the butterfly effect brought by the traveler affected them.

Louie is also looking for a Sam Bowie-esque backup center, but that kind of insider is a rarity. Since you can't get it, choose a qualified blue-collar center.

As a blue-collar, Davis should be better than Elton Campbell.

Louie set his sights on the Bucks.

The Bucks have the 11th overall pick in this year's first round.

As a team that is not good enough, they desperately need strong rookies.

Louie offered to trade Lionel Simmons and Elton Campbell for the 1991 first-round 11th pick and veteran Jake Hickma.

As a legendary player who has developed inside skills, Shikma has not received many hard honors as a player.

And he fits the Knicks' needs.

Has enough IQ and skill to handle most situations.

Although he is 35 years old this year, Louie wants him, not a starter, he just wants to enrich the depth and diversity of the bench.

In exchange for the 11th pick in the first round and a 35-year-old veteran, the Bucks have no reason to refuse.

Lionel Simmons, in particular, proved himself last season.

He likes to play video games, in the Bucks view, is not a big deal.

The day before the draft, the deal was done.

The Knicks sent two rookies to the Bucks in exchange for the 11th pick and Jack Hickma.

Shikma still has one year left on his contract. When the Bucks decided to rebuild and rebuild, he couldn’t find the motivation to play. He was already ready to retire, but he didn’t expect to turn around and was sent to the defending champion.

He ecstatically thanked the Bucks, who showed their loyalty before they even got to New York.

"I'm a complete player."

"I can play in any system."

"Starter? No, I want to be a role model as a veteran, and if you can get Patrick Ewing a 5-minute break, that would be great!"

How should I put it, his high emotional intelligence performance made Louis more admired. Gu Hao

The arrival of Shikma has also brought additional trouble for the Knicks.

Is Dale Davis still necessary now that Hickma is in place? Obviously there is no need for this. If they don't choose, what will they do with the two draft picks in their hands?

Louie was thinking about what to do with the two draft picks when a call from out of town came to his office.

The call came from Boston, but he was negotiating with neither Jane Walker nor Reed Auerbach.

"Coach Lu, I hope you can recognize my voice."

The other party's tone was soft.

Louis seemed to have heard who it was.

"Dave?"

"I'm glad you still remember me."

"Your speech at the annual meeting left a deep impression on me. It's hard to forget." In fact, Louis couldn't remember what Garvet said at the annual meeting.

Wait, did this guy speak at the annual meeting?

Louie had a good memory, and the annual meeting had just passed a few days ago, so he guessed based on the sound of Garvet greeting him that day.

"No, it's your speech that impressed me," Garvet said politely. "I think you're the only candidate for the Dream Team's head coach."

At this time, Elgin Baylor entered Louie's office without knocking on the door and wanted to say a few new things.

Louis quickly pointed to the desk.

The meaning was clear, and let Baylor help him clear the excess from the desk.

"You're lazy, forget it!" Baylor said, not free.

With nothing but the phone on the desk, Louis' classic reclining negotiation reappears.

According to Baylor's understanding of him, Louie is only so presumptuous when he is excited.

What hapless call is this from?

Baylor pondered, every time Louie lay on his desk and negotiated a deal, a team would suffer.

"Dave, we'll talk about the Dream Team later. You also know that the draft is about to start. I have a lot of work to do. I don't know if you have anything else to call me?"

"Coach Lu, you really speak quickly."

"you guessed right."

Is this a guess? Am I stupid enough to think you called me on the eve of the draft just to flatter me?

Louie smiled mockingly.

"Coach Lu, if I'm not mistaken, you should plan to keep Jack Shikma?"

"Yes, Jack is a very experienced veteran. However, if you want, you can talk about it." Louis Yoyo said, "If you're willing to trade Bill Laimbir..."

wtf! It's Boston! Boston's takeover? Boston has a bad reputation?

Baylor was shocked.

Dave Gavitt was even more shocked and opened the door for shock - shock home!

What's the matter with this man? He is polite, why do you want Shikma? Why did Louie still have Ranbir's idea?

No matter how stupid he is, he can't change Ranbir for a Shikma!

"No, no, Coach Lu, you misunderstood. We don't want Jack Shikma. In fact, I'm calling to help you solve a problem."

Always remember that when a stranger tries to help you out of trouble for no reason, he's actually trying to cause you a bigger problem.

Unless, he/she has a crush on you.

"Why am I so embarrassed?" Louis smiled shyly. "Dave, I don't even know if we have any troubles that need your help. Can you tell me in detail?"

Gavitt immediately said: "With Jack Sikma, your roster has reached 14 people, but you have three draft picks in hand, isn't this trouble, Coach Lu? I am very willing to help you solve this trouble. ."

Really "trouble", Louie dared to swear in the name of Gavitt's parents, all general managers in the league would like to have such trouble.

"Tell me what to do, Dave."

Louis was too lazy to try.

Garvitt deserves to be in Boston for half a year, but Auerbach "can't remember" even his name, so Louis doesn't know how to reply.

"We could send Chris Jackson to New York ~www.novelmt.com~ in exchange for your 11th pick in the first round, 13th pick in the first round and 27th pick in the second round."

"Hold on."

Louie covered the phone and said incredulously, "My God, how dare he open this mouth?"

"What's the matter?"

Baylor's rolled eyes have seen through everything.

Louie, the bastard, must have thought of a way to make cheap money for nothing, but he must have the appearance of "I lost, I really lost, if it weren't for my honesty and honesty, I wouldn't do this trading dog".

Whether others are used to it or not, he has long been used to it.

"Do you know Dave Garvet? He's the guy who has done a great job in the Big East but doesn't know how to run professional basketball!" Louie's surprised expression didn't seem to be fake, "He's actually going to exchange a parallel import for all of our this year's money. First-round pick!"
