"He's actually going to trade a parallel trade for all of our draft picks this year!"

Baylor believed that Louie would not suffer.

He looked at Louie with a scrutiny: "Can you hang up the phone before you speak ill of people?"

"Don't worry, I covered it." Louis laughed.

Baylor sighed: "Want to drink Coke?"

"It's time to work, Elgin."

Baylor had to find a small box containing coins among the many things he had just taken from Louis's desk, and then took the coins on it and put them into the vending machine in the office.

Louie got the phone back.

"Dave, Elgin and I have seriously considered your deal."

Louie deliberately slowed down his speech, and used an appetizing tone to make Garvet anxious.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"We don't think this deal is feasible."

"Why?" Garvet went on to say, "Chris Jackson was the No. 3 pick last year. He's a talented point guard with a rare shooting ability. Isn't that what you value most, Coach Lu?"

Louie took the Coke that Belle brought, which already had a straw on it.

This old guy never understands that drinking a can of Coke through a straw is soulless.

"Rare shooting ability?" Louie drank a Coke with a straw. "You mean 12 points per game on 39 percent shooting?"

Garvet was immediately embarrassed.

"This... Coach Lu, I think you also know that some players need more games to find the feeling."

"I'm not sure if I need a sharpshooter who shoots only 39 percent and pays all of our draft picks this year. If he's as good as you say, why would the Celtics trade him? Lose After Isaiah, don't you lack the No. 1 seat?"

Garvet had heard of Louie's fame.

In the eyes of different people, the image of Louis is also completely different.

West sees Louie as the smartest pro sports administrator, Harry Weltman says whatever Louie says on the phone is not credible, Auerbach and Jane Walker remind him, negotiated with Louie time to be extra careful.

He is a devil who eats people and doesn't spit out bones.

"Coach Lu, please believe that we have the sincerity to reach a deal. If you are not satisfied with our offer, you can increase your bid appropriately."

"Can I really overweight properly?"

"certainly."

"Then I'm welcome, it's all about reaching a deal that satisfies both of us."

Louie doesn't yet know what Gavitt's status is within the Celtics.

Surely he has surpassed Jane Volcker, but can he surpass Auerbach in power?

"If you're willing to give me the Celtics' 1994 first-round pick and the 1996 first-round pick, maybe we can make a deal."

"This..." Gavet said embarrassedly: "Coach Lu, your asking price is too high, I can't agree."

"Is it high?"

"Dave, what's your top priority?"

Garvet was startled.

"Your top priority, isn't it to seize the peak period of Ralph and Larry as much as possible and replenish as much fresh blood as possible?" Louis smiled lightly, "Although our draft picks are not particularly advanced , but not too far behind, as long as you don't screw up, you can choose a few useful players. Don't forget, this year is a big year for the draft, the depth of talent is very good, and the value of these two draft picks is more than ordinary drafts. The top five picks in 2019 are even higher. All I want is a first-rounder and a first-rounder swap, do you think you paid a lot? Did the Celtics not be competitive in 1994? Are you going to be the underdog in 1996? Dave, you're the Boston Celtics!"

"We need to take a long-term view on this matter."

Garvet hung up the phone.

Seeing that Louis hung up the phone, Baylor asked directly, "Is it fitted?"

"Can you speak? What is a condom? Do you think I'm a liar?" Louis said dissatisfiedly.

Baylor instantly sneered at "You don't know what you are doing".

"I don't think my asking price is too high, and it's not particularly excessive, but whether the deal can be made depends on Boston's determination to strengthen and Dave Gavitt's right to speak within the Celtics."

Baylor could hardly believe his ears.

What the **** is Louie saying? "The asking price is not too high, not particularly excessive"? How dare he say that?

Three draft picks for a No. 3 pick plus a future first-round and first-round pick swap, if the No. 3 Xiushui was outrageous, who would agree?

This is where the problem lies.

Chris Jackson is already recognized as a parallel importer.

The Hornets have scratched the lottery for a season and have seen the words "thank you for your patronage". The Celtics' internal assessment of Jackson's potential should also be the same. They believe that Jackson cannot reproduce the style of his college days in the NBA.

They also want the Knicks' 11th and 13th picks when they already have the No. 5 pick.

With the Celtics' draft success rate, it would be scary to have them suddenly have so many high-level draft picks.

But Louie saw a win-win situation in this trade—the Knicks won twice.

Is Chris Jackson really a parallel trader?

Louis asked Baylor to call Zhao Yuanzheng.

Reach out to Billy Donovan for footage of Jackson's best and worst games last season.

In his rookie season, he averaged only 24 minutes per game.

Judging from playing time, the Hornets did not give him enough patience.

He averaged 12 points, 3 assists and 1 rebound while shooting 39 percent from the field.

It is worth noting that his free throw percentage is 85.7%, but the three-point percentage is only 24%. Obviously, he has not yet adapted to the NBA three-point line.

The overall shooting percentage is low, the shooting in college can not be played out, and the NBA does not allow him to shoot with such unbridled, plus eccentric personality, it is normal to think that he is a parallel importer.

But in Louis' eyes, he is not a parallel importer.

He's just an elder with a flawed character, not playing the guiding light, and a bankrupt version of Stephen Curry debuting on a team that doesn't fit him.

Jackson may be one of the proofs that Curry couldn't play in the '90s, but Louie feels that a player's ability to play or not to play is determined by many factors.

If Curry hadn't been forced by his dad to change his shooting stance in high school, if he had been playing at the 2 position in college and didn't change to the 1 position, if the team that drafted him wasn't the Warriors but the Knicks, if he was in his first contract He didn't learn to use his hips to reduce the burden on his ankles before it was over. If he hadn't met Steve Kerr ⑴...would Curry still be the Curry we remember?

The rise of Curry, like the founding of Cosmic Yong, was a lucky combination of many small-probability events.

Jackson had no such luck.

Now, he has a little bit of luck that Dave Gavitt is going to trade Jackson for the Knicks pick.

Louie wants him very much, and is 100% sure that Gavitt will regret it, but he would rather not make a profit.

This can also confirm the status of Garvet in the Celtics by the way.

If Auerbach's dominance was still in his hands, he would never agree to this deal.

After Garrett arrived in Boston, Louie followed the Celtics closely.

Auerbach showed contempt for Garrett half a year after he was the Celtics vice president. Asked by local TV about the Celtics' then-unresolved Thomas trade turmoil, Auerbach replied: "I'll listen to the VP. What's his name? David, right?"

Jim Baker, a television sports commentator for the Boston Herald, took note.

And the next day, an article was published titled "How come Auerbach can't even remember Garvet's name?".

Ridiculously, Baker concluded that Auerbach may have had dementia, which may have contributed to an accelerated shift in power within the Celtics.

Anyone who is familiar with Auerbach knows that he did this to ridicule Garvet for having no obvious results in half a year.

Like Louie, who has been spying on the screen from afar, he has left his name deeply in Redhead's heart just a few days after he arrived in Boston.

This is the unspoken rules and evaluation indicators of the Celtics office for new employees: If Auerbach knows your name within three months, you are doing a good job, and this situation will extend to appearing in the Olympic Games. Anyone under Erbach, including the senior executive vice president, of course. In fact, everyone in the world is a potential "what's his name" to Auerbach to some extent, except the legends who played for him - Russell, Cousy, Heinsoe Well, Brother Jones, Havlicek.

Now ~www.novelmt.com~ Garvet's power within the Celtics, to what extent, whether the rumors of Auerbach's delegating power are true, all doubts and speculations can be confirmed through this transaction.

It's not Auerbach's style to invest the future in a trade for a less than lucrative return.

If it does, it means that the Celtics are already Garrett's team.

Auerbach may still be detached, but he certainly no longer dominates.

"Jingle bell~~!"

The phone in Louis's office rang again.

(1) Without Cole, Curry's no-ball wouldn't have been developed so thoroughly, Curry's gravity wouldn't exist, and the picturesque warriors of 14-16 would not exist. Cole was the one who pressed the button on the Curry nuclear bomb. Redefines off-ball threat and on-ball pick-and-roll threat, ushering in the small ball era. As for him going so crazy in the future that he made Curry a dog for Green and others, which is another matter. What is doing well and what is not doing well should be looked at separately.
