The rest is just noise

In fact, Louis didn't cheat Anji either.

Not to mention that the two players sent by the Grizzlies are both recognized as negative assets, but the Lakers have actually produced two capable players who can change the situation.

Louis' purpose is to clean up the old generals, rescue Liu Yuqing, and then accumulate capital for the future.

With the Grizzlies' current strength, they should be able to send the Lakers a lottery pick in 1997.

Maybe...Duncan is in trouble.

For the Grizzlies, this deal is both a risk and an opportunity. If Ainge cannot build a competitive team before 1997, he will be unlucky.

On the contrary, for Louis, few Lakers fans can understand this deal.

Using a.c and Ceballos in exchange for two negative assets, the only hope is the first round in the future.

The person who couldn't accept this deal the most was Jerry West.

However, when he came to ask Louis why he wanted to make this deal, the answer he got made him powerless.

"Liu is a very good player, he just needs a chance." Louis had to explain, "Benoit Benjamin may not be of great use, but his contract has expired and can free up 3.5 million yuan for us, not to mention

You have draft picks, what else do you want?"

After listening to Louis' explanation, West found that the deal seemed okay. But he thought there was something strange about it. Later he discovered that Benoit's fat pig's contract would not expire until the summer of 1997. It was not at all

It is not an expiring contract that can free up space.

What Louis really values ​​​​is the draft picks. In terms of player value, the Grizzlies have few players that he likes.

This is Angie. If it had been anyone else, Louis would have wanted more.

"It's so sudden. I should at least have the right to know about the transaction."

"Don't you know now? Moreover, we haven't faxed the alliance acknowledgment yet. If you want to reject this deal, there is still room for maneuver."

Louis sat calmly watching West go crazy.

"That's not what I meant!" West said angrily, "You are the president, you can do whatever you want, but if you regard me as your assistant, you should tell me what you are going to do.

Instead of telling me after it happens."

Louis said in a perfunctory manner: "So that's why you're angry?"

"Would you do this to Elgin?" West asked.

Louis said calmly: "Elgin will not yell at me because of this. He will quietly do what I tell him. Jerry, we have a division of labor. I am responsible for the transaction and you are responsible."

Signing, I’ve made a deal now, what’s the progress of your signing?”

Now West was so angry that he didn't even know where to go.

Because Louis behaves like a punching bag, no matter how he loses his temper, the other party will watch his "performance" as if nothing is wrong.

But what he did was not a performance at all, and he didn't need to use this kind of poor performance to let people know how much he cares about this team.

He's just not used to having a high-ranking ruler in the forum.

This is the source of his anger. What Louis did showed that he was not joking about rebuilding the Lakers.

Pippen, A.C, and Ceballos have all left the team.

How many days can the remaining ones stay?

"Several new players were suddenly introduced. I need to evaluate their current abilities first and then determine the direction of future reinforcements."

In other words, the Lakers have not signed any players in the free market yet.

Louis said: "There is no need to strengthen the No. 2 and No. 4 positions. The direction of future recruitment will mainly be the No. 1 position who can hit fixed-point three-pointers and the No. 5 position who has enough size and can protect rebounds."

"A.C has left, and kg is still unable to withstand the confrontation at the fourth position. Does the fourth position really not need reinforcements?"

Louis smiled: "Yes, because I will trade Vlade Divac soon, and I will use him in exchange for an excellent No. 4 position."

"Fuck!" West cursed secretly, "Vlad doesn't want to leave Los Angeles."

Louis asked like a scoundrel: "Is it up to him?"

"His agent made it clear that if he is traded, he will choose to retire." West muttered like an old woman, "He will really retire!"

"Have you heard about El's comeback?"

"heard."

"what do you think?"

"You have to ask the players for their opinions."

"You and I have the same opinion." Louis sneered. "The first person I called to inquire was Vlad, but this bastard didn't answer my call just because I didn't add him to the list of not for sale. He

He won't answer my calls. Bastards like this who disrespect the coach have no place in my team."

West tried to explain to Divac: "This may be a misunderstanding..."

"Bullshit misunderstanding!"

Even though he was standing in front of a legend who had played for the Lakers for decades, Louis didn't have any respect.

"I can tell you clearly that he is gone!"

West's mouth flashed with an emoticon starting with f, and he turned around and walked away.

Even if you are the president, if you want to completely control the forum management, you cannot just rely on reasoning.

Be a little aggressive when necessary.

Probably because he had eaten too much at noon today, Louis was surprisingly aggressive.

Jim Bass stammered, "I, I, I... I've never seen anyone treat Jerry like this."

"Then you have to get used to it, because you will see it often in the future."

"Go, help me get Mike Boozer Holden."

Jim set off immediately. Louis was emotionally unstable now and he didn't want to be scolded.

Soon, people arrived.

"Coach Lu, what are your orders?"

Budenholzer is a young coach that Louis is very optimistic about because he knows that this person will achieve great results in the future.

"Mike, please help me write two scouting reports."

"About whom?"

"Our new aid, Liu He Zhengzong Big Fat Pig."

Boozer Holden knows who Liu is, but who is the real Big Fat Pig?

"Uh...who is Fat Pig?"

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Louis' anger had not subsided, and he spat out on the spot, "We only have two new players, who do you think it is? It's Benoit who is always losing weight.

Benjamin, damn, this bastard doesn’t deserve to be called Benjamin. If I were Benj, I would find a killer to kill this bastard!”

Boozer Holden has been in Los Angeles for more than a year, but he has not had much communication with Louis.

He remembered the first time he met Louis, the day he came to Los Angeles for an interview.

At that time, Louis was simply the nicest person he had ever met.

It's a pity that it was a mask. Today, the most prestigious coach in professional basketball showed his true colors.

"I will submit their report tomorrow."

That afternoon, the Lakers gave the league a faxed receipt.

Their deal with the Grizzlies is officially completed.

Presumably this trade affected Houston.

Bob Wenhauer called again in the early evening.

"Coach Lu, I hope Vlade Divac is still in your hands."

"Yes, he's still here." Louis decided to put some pressure on Houston, "But if you don't step up, maybe he won't be here for a long time."

Then, Wenhauer asked: "Coach Lu, can I ask you a basketball question."

"It's my pleasure." Louis said modestly.

"If Vlad joins our lineup, can he start with Rick Schmitz and Joe Smith?"

Of course not, little genius, if you want to play three highs, you must at least have a three-four swing and a four-five swing, right?

"I'm not going to say this move can't work, because no one has ever done it, but it is feasible." Louis said, "Vlad can shoot three-pointers, and both Rick and Joe can expand their offensive range.

In the high position, even if you let them start at the same time, the offensive space will not be a problem. I don't know what effect this will have, I can only say that you can try it."

At the same time, Louis also captured the other person's hidden meaning.

"I just don't know how you are going to arrange Christian Leitner?"

"It's a pity that Christian was originally one of the candidates for the three-high lineup, but he did not intend to do this."

Wenhauer finally threw out the bait.

"Coach Lu, I wonder if you can accept the deal if Christian is included in the transaction list?"

When Louis heard the quotation, he knew it was probably done.

But he would not be happy too early: "Are there any other conditions?"

"Well..." Wenhauer began to ask for a price, "Vlad has reached his peak, and Christian is a young player who is constantly improving, so if this deal is to be completed, we think the Lakers should give us two

A first-round pick."

"Bob, I'm only paying you back once," Louis said. "I'll give you the 1999 first-round pick with top-five protection and the 2000 first-round pick in exchange for it."

"Coach Lu, if you change the protection of the 1999 first-round pick from the top five picks to the top three picks, we can make a deal?"

What the hell is the difference?

"Bob, has anyone ever said you are very good at negotiating? I accept the offer."

When Louis hung up the phone, he felt comfortable breaking free of his shackles.

Jerry West's Lakers are falling apart.

That team was defeated repeatedly in the finals, and after losing its tragic division, it could no longer break out of the Western Conference. Now only David Robinson is left.

He spent the whole day answering phone calls, negotiating, and talking a lot.

If he doesn't close the deal, he will definitely burst into unknown fire and burn everyone in the office to ashes.

No matter what, he finally sent everyone away.

Louis stood up. Bass had already gotten off work, and Zhao Yuanzheng didn't know where he went. Apart from the staff who were still on duty, Louis was the only one left in the forum office building.

Louie could see the court below through the glass windows.

He found Lu Wuxia playing ball there.

Playing with him were Wang Zhizhi and the Tragedy Master.

When Louis went downstairs, he saw Wilson again.

Wilson had been sitting on the ground and was blocked by the basket.

Did that kid follow Benj? Louis was wondering, but the appearance of his wife made him relieved.

"If you don't go home all day, why don't you just stay here?"

"Yeah, I just got off work."

"Did you know that 99% of American workers are willing to risk their lives to defend the eight-hour work day, and the hours you currently work every day are far beyond that."

"I'm really busy recently. It will be better in a while."

Lorraine rolled her eyes at him: "I say that every time! The new season will start again after a while, when will you be willing to take a rest, Coach Lu."

"Now, I'm resting now." Louis touched his wife's hair with his hand, "Just looking at you like this, I'm already resting."
