Chapter 1,121 The black-hearted man who doesn’t miss his old relationship

This year's top three pick, Scottie Pippen.

As soon as the price came out, the Knicks, Heat, and Trail Blazers all started taking action.

Among the teams with the top three picks, one team has made it clear that it has no love for the second pick.

That's the Spurs.

They need an inside man, but they can't get Joe Smith, the recognized No. 1 pick, and they're not willing to gamble on Kai Garnett's talent.

Jerry Stackhouse, the consensus No. 2 pick, is good, but not the player they need.

It's a pity to waste the second pick on Rasheed Wallace, not to mention that this guy's mood is unstable and his work ethics is questionable. Whether he can play in the Holy City with peace of mind is questionable.

The Trail Blazers launched a swift offensive, offering to trade Sabonis and Mason for the No. 2 pick and a junk contract.

The Spurs need an inside man, and they are very interested, but considering Sabonis' serious injury, they don't know how much immediate combat capability the Lithuanian still has.

Mason's reputation is very poor, and bringing him along will not excite the Spurs.

The Heat are just fooling around to offer Rodman, Selley and future first-rounders this kind of price.

Rodman is a bottle of poisonous wine. He has strong abilities, but he is not a player who is beneficial to the team, let alone Selley, a notorious whistleblower. The Heat's future first round is destined to be at the end of the first round. There is no

value.

The Spurs froze.

Seeing that the opponent was not interested, Shafir withdrew Rodman and moved Drexler out.

This is a strong offer, but the Spurs are a rebuilding team and they don't need Drexler to steal Mashburn's ball.

This is the hardest part of the deal with the Spurs.

The Knicks and Heat, who have the most resources, mainly focus on wings in their trade chips, but the Spurs don't care about their wings.

This is also the reason why the Knicks have never made an offer.

When the Trail Blazers and Heat competed for the Spurs' No. 2 pick, the Knicks found the Celtics, who were also hesitant.

This trick of sneaking across Chencang is just right.

Reed Auerbach gave Stackhouse a negative review, which is the clearest opinion he has given in recent times.

Although Gavitt was the talker, he did not dare to underestimate Auerbach's suggestions.

The Celtics' rebuild is in its earliest stages, and no one on the team can't be traded.

If no suitable player can be selected with the third pick, they can still be traded.

Only one person opposed the deal.

That person's name is Larry Bird, and he is the only person who advocates using the third overall pick to select Kevin Garnett.

But this is also where Bird was embarrassed in Boston.

It seems like everyone respects him and says they will seriously consider his opinions.

However, every opinion Bird gave, whether correct or not, fell on deaf ears.

He is an ineffective consultant.

The Celtics seemed to keep him just to continue the glorious tradition of keeping meritorious players working within the team.

This made Bird very dissatisfied, but what made him even more dissatisfied was that the Celtics internally ignored his opinions.

When the Knicks offered Hill their 1996 first-round pick from the Kings in exchange for their No. 3 pick, Gavitt agreed.

"I quit!"

Bird was furious and rushed to Gavitt's office to resign.

On the other hand, after the Knicks received the third pick from the Celtics, they did not consider using it to select anyone and immediately contacted Los Angeles.

Louis was amazed at their efficiency.

"Louis, we did what you said, so just agree quickly." Baylor said like a winner, "We are all old friends, we each get what we need."

This can be regarded as everyone getting what he needs.

Among active players, Pippen is the most suitable small forward for the Knicks besides Wilson and Jordan.

He lacks the offensive threat of those two, but his versatility and defensive ability are enough to connect seamlessly with the Knicks.

"Really? There are a bunch of people out there fighting for the No. 2 pick in San Antonio to get Scottie Pippen. Why do I think Scottie is worth more than that?"

"Louis, this is too much. We have already obtained the third pick as you said, why are you going back on your word?"

"Elgin, are you so naive? When it comes to transactions, precious commodities must be sold at a price. Scotty was only worth a top-three pick at the time. Now I think he is worth more."

"Damn, don't go too far!"

"We are old friends, how could I go too far with you?" Louis leaned back on the chair. He was still used to the desk in the Blue Palace that he could lie on. "You just need to help me eat Tom Chamberlain."

Si’s junk contract, give me your first round this year, and we can make a deal.”

"You bastard who doesn't care about old friendships, is there anyone like you?"

"If you scold me one more time, the negotiation between us will end here!"

Belle immediately changed his face: "I'm sorry, my fault, Uncle Louis, you don't remember the faults of old people. For the sake of our friendship for so many years, can you give me a friendship price?"

"You know, Elgin, the reason why I only want your first round this year, not the first round in the future, is because of the many years we have worked together."

Louis defeated him.

"This is just a temporary offer. You can continue to delay. If Portland or Miami get the second pick, I will make you never pay the price again."

"Give me a day, we need to make room!"

"I only give you half a day."

"You black-hearted bastard, I've finally seen through you!"

"You scold again?!"

Belle hung up the phone.

Louis also hung up the phone. Jim Bass, who had witnessed the whole process, looked admiring: "Sir, are you so cruel to your old friends?"

"When it comes to the future of the team, there is no room for nostalgia." Louis snorted, "Besides, we have the absolute initiative. If we change the team, my asking price will never be more than this."

"this point?"

Just pay it back?

Jim suddenly discovered that he still had a lot to learn.

He is often soft-hearted towards his friends, but Louis tells him with practical actions that friends are nothing if the benefits are not enough, and he will never give up until he squeezes out the last bit of something from the other party.

"Don't make a fuss, Jim. If you make a small step during negotiation, the other party will take a big step forward. Remember, as long as we are the active party, there is no room for making a step. We will kick the other party off the cliff.

Whether we are pushed to the edge of the cliff or not, it all depends on our thoughts."

"Then the Knicks are kicked off the cliff by you?"

"What are you talking about? Scottie Pippen is one of the most important players on our team, and he is also very strong, both offensive and defensive. Looking at the league, apart from Benj, there is no better small forward than him."

"This is already a conscience price for me."

Jim stayed for a long time and said: "What you said reminds me of a little story my sister told me a few years ago after she got drunk."

"What little story?"

"Did you know my sister likes older men?"

What's wrong with liking the New Year? Louis was almost furious on Benj's behalf.

"Oh, so what?"

"She was definitely drunk that time and was completely delirious. Otherwise, she would never have been able to tell that story."

Jim started selling his sister.

One time, Jenny was drunk and started talking nonsense, telling a story about herself and an old man she no longer had contact with.

This part was deleted

Louis fell in love with this dandy more and more, and hoped that his secret history of Bath would never end.

In order to make room for the trade, the Knicks reluctantly sent Rick Mahon to the Memphis Grizzlies, who had so much space that they could only worry about signing someone, in exchange for a strictly restricted first-round pick in 2000 and a second-round pick in 1996.

Round lottery.

In this way, the Knicks made room, lest Louis raise the price again, and completed the deal with the Lakers that afternoon.

At 5:21 p.m., the league office announced that the New York Knicks would send the third overall pick and the 26th overall pick in the 1995 first round to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Scottie Pippen and Tom Chambers.

The Lakers, who originally had no first-round pick, got three first-round picks after several days of operations.

They suddenly changed from spectators at the draft to one of the protagonists.
